Honestly, I've suffered through worse durability management (cough shadow tower cough) so as long it's still manageable without ruining the flow of the combat, I'm fine with ir.
@N1ghtW1ng Oh nice. Honestly kinda wild how Sony never thought of doing this from the beginning. Here's hoping othrr titles like Puppeteer and Souls Sacrifice will follow suit too.
Joking aside, though, begging that it's a Killzone, Socom or Resistance title. I don't care if it's live service. Atleast have the game be based on something I actually care about.
As much as I didn't love The Order 1886, I still would have loved to see a sequel and see how much they would have improved from the first game. Unfortunately, I doubt sony will ever be interested in bringing back the IP.
The moment the game was bought by those crypto obssesed guys, the writings were on the wall. It's a big shame that as of now, the only ongoing hunting game on the marker is Monster Hunter.
Ubderstandable but that doesn't mean they ahould leave their IPs behind. At the very least remaster them in a big collection in some wya or another a la Rare Replay.
They should just take notes of online co-op games like Helldivers and Deep Rock Galactic and use that format for their Resident Evil multiplayer game. It's something I had thought for years since high school and after playing Outbreak, I genuinely don't know Capcom bothers with these pvp focused titles. Feels like RE works best as a co-op game but that's just me.
Helldivers 2 is to Sony Computer Emtertainment what Venom is to Sony Pictures. They think that one success is guarantee that the other will be just as good, not realizing that there are other factors that contributed Helldivers 2's success besides bring a "live service game", mostly that the game was designed as a fun multiplayer game first, and live service title second.
If sony still wants to keep working on this, then either give us Playstation Home 2 or a new PS All Stars game. I think they can make a good live service game. Hell, Gran Turismo 7 is doing alright so far. The thing is, these games were made in the end to entertain their audiences and fans in mind. Games like Concord and Destruction All Stars feel like they were made to chase trends, which isn't always a good thing to keep in mind when making these games (take a look at Nerdslayer studios' videos)
I'd say that I'm still pissed ofd that they shut down Concord instead of giving the studio another shot. Despite my gripes with Concord, I would have actually loved to see them make a comeback, perhaps learning from their mistakes. Instead, they treated Concord and their team like an afterthought.
Honestly, I'm just glad that even after all the delays, they're still determined on giving us a hack and slasher instead of dumbing the gameplay into yet another souls-like lol
Even as someone who would have preferred Metaphor to win GotY, can't help but be glad that VGA dodged a bullet by not awarding Black Myth Wukong GotY. I think the game's good but its community is another thing.
Funny how the axolotl character has a slightly better design than most of Concord's actual roster lol
Though I do find it funny how not a single character there seems to be from the game. I do recall seeing star child once in a promo image so I guess they might make a cameo?
They better not end the story with yet again another sequel bait with Lin escaping cause that final fight ANNOYED me to no end lol would have been great if Ryo managed to atleast land one blow to show how much he grew but alas...
Honestly, I'd rather take a full dark souls trilogy remaster for newer consoles.
And hey, if the rumors about the switch 2 are true, then maybe release the collection over there as well. It's still hilarious to me how the switch was capable to run skyrim, dragons dogma, doom, and the likes but can't with dark souls 2's vfx lol
Probably also unrelated but another questionable move they did was nominating multiversus again for fighting game of the year, even though Geoff stated that he wouldn't nominate it again.
Though I guess between this and jujutsu kaisen, better to go for the former.
The problem is that it's a hero shooter. Why lock all the stuff, from cool story moments to character interactions, behidn weekly cutscenes and walls of text while spend most of our time shooting the same characters over and over again? I said it before but a "No Man's Sky or Rogue Galaxy meets Borderlands" Concord game would have done wonders.
Personally, I would have preferred if the game wasn't exclusively set in the world of horizon. Considering they only have two or three Horizon ips to work with, it's no wonder why the game feels somewhat limited in other parts, kinda like what happened with the lego hobbit game.
If this was instead Lego Playstation Adventures that lets you play through levels based on iconic playstation worlds or landmarks like Greece from God of War or the mountains of Tibetan Plateau from Uncharted. It would have atleast provided some variety imo.
That one rumor of the game failing because of toxic positivity might hold some water now because what do you mean they never once thought of playtesting the game to see if it'll hit with the audience or not? Imagine if this was their mindset with all of theirblive service games 💀
What's strange is that months ago it was revealed through a debug mode that Beetle was being set up as the DLC villain. My guess is that they're probably saving it for either the sequel or the supposed venom game. That, or Insomniac just kinda gave up, and giving the amount of rewrites Spiderman 2 went through during the development as well as the unexpected hack, I can't really blame them, unfortunately. Still, some small continuation of the symbiote would've been nice. Hopefully, Sony will give them enough time for the 3rd game (and please don't force them to rush it, I don't care how impatient Spiderman fans will get)
If it does come back, then they have to do more than just making the game free to play. Whether it's improving the art style or diversifying player customization or adding PvE content or such. I don't think even the hardest PS fanboy would want to play the same matches over and over again just to see one uninteractable cutscene every week.
I'm taking the whole $400 million budget with a grain of salt but I can definitely believe Hermen's attitude. Who would have thought that not listening to feedback could become the straw that broke the camel's back. I genuinely wonder if Concord is even gonna come back. I mean, it IS Hermen's baby, and they're going through on airing a Secret Level episode.
I don't mind remasters but there's plenty of franchises out there that deserve actual remasters. I'm still surprised that we don't have a full Uncharted collection on the ps5, just Uncharted 4 with the standalone dlc. Imagine a remaster collection with all the uncharted games, including the Vita one.
Hell, I'm surprised they never bothered to make a God of war remaster collection, especially after Valhalla.
There's a lot of potential with Soul Sacrifice. Back in high school, I started to brainstorm archfiend ideas like one based on Ahab/Moby Dick. The concept of turning literature/mythological creatures into grotesque (and maybe depressing) monsters is pretty fun. And honestly? I can see Forspoken's combat system work much better with Soul Sacrifice's.
I can see Bandai getting the liscense for Soul Sacrifice, considering if we take in account with Freedom Wars, having both Marduk and Dionaia in SS makes it eadier for Bandai to seal the deal. However, they might have to ask permission of Tecmo if they could share the cthonian/abyssal fiend.
@ThomasHL That's what I thought as well. Atleast with Overwatch the story is your standard heroes vs villains, with playable characters from both sides. Even in Paladins, it's centered around the conflict between the magistrate and the resistance, as well as othe factions.
In Concord, freegunners are supposed to be like, mercenaries or something? Supposedly, accorisng to the story, it's focused on a conflict between them and some kind of organization, but we don't have any playable characters that are part of that side, so we just have freegunners fighting other freegunners because...well, it's a competitive 5v5 shooter game, don't think too hard on it. If it was just a singleplayer/co-op action adventure rpg a la Guardians of the Galaxy with multiple choices the player can make given they belong to no one but themselves, I can definitely see this become, at worst, a cult classic like Days Gone.
@thefourfoldroot1 funny enough, there's a concept design for Emari and it looks miles better while keeping some of the good elements of her final design. Makes me hope someone would leak the entire concept art of the game, cause I'm more interested what was behind the game's development process if anything.
@BamBamBaklava89 better to have style than to have none lol the base design was just a generic white dude but with green skin. Atleast this one's tries, unless you're one of the few rare people defending the game's art, in which...well, more power to you 😅
