SoulsBourne128

Crossing my fingers it's not an arena fighter and instead plays more like monster hunter/freedom wars, as you hunt down kaijus as different characters or even as your own.

Edit: sceatch that, it seems to be a mobile release, so my expectattions are lower than before lol

Personally thought the combat itself was kinda eh and the controls were a mess but it was saved by its presentation as well as its cast of characters (the voice acting was great as well). Ngl, I think reboot of the game could work. Add some Blade influence and I'm sold.

Oh and fun fact, one of the ghosts in the game is supposedly a descendnat of Sir Daniel Fortesque, right down to even having one eye.

I'll give them credit for showing more new titles form their first party studios, something that Sony really needs to take notes from besides announcing ports of games we already know about.

Speaking of gritty asian developed souls-likes, nayone knows whatever happened to that one that was accused of stelaing animations from Bloodborne?

Man, I just want a new Rayman game....

But hey, with the Black Flag remake, guess it's a better alternative than Skulls and Bones I suppose. Wonder if they'll keep the multiplayer mode, though. Unrionically wasted more time there than in the single player campaign lol

I feel like I'm one of the few who likes the game. Yeah, it's practically Nioh but open world but as someone who loves Ghost of Tsushima and Nioh, that's good enough for me.

Also, I genuineky didn't care when people complained about the graphics. For me, rhey were good enough. I play Tecmo games for their gameplay, not for the graphics. Why else is the warriors franchise still going to this day?

Anime/manga tie-in games like this are the way to go. The less repetitive slashers and arena fighters we get, the better lol

@theSpectre you don't know how excited I was for Deep Down, just to see the game get canned...

Honestly, I wonder if Bluepoint will also do the same with Demon's Souls Remake's pre-order weapons and armors later.

I have a feeling that it has to do with those clips I've seen online getting traction. I remember seeing one video of someone cosplaying as Vegeta in-gamenand started fist fighting with flames coming out of his hands. That alone convinced me on one day buying this game on a sale.

Oh no! Anyway...

But seriously though, that's hardly surprising, and knowing Square this probably won't stop them from churning out more live service titles.

@Keyblade-Dan Imagine a complete god of war collection WITH betrayal as a bonus lol

I'm surprised that they added a standalone expansion (Miles Morales) over something like say, Days Gone or something. I mean, while we're at it, why not throw in Lost Legacy too?

One question: can we still fight the big worm?

I'm starting to believe that Rise of Ronin is actually the Ghost of Tsushima sequel Sony was hoping to release but couldn't, and I'm not complaining lol

Oh no! Anyway...

Joking aside, this isn't susprising in the slightest. There are some rumors that the justice league might return but I'm pretty sure they're only doing it for damage control, and even if they bring they back, I hatdly doubg the interest would still be there.

As someone who had a soft spot on the Zelda CD-I games thanks to those YTPs, I'll give this a shot.

I'm curious if this is one of those rumored Scifi rpgs in development by one of Sony's first party studios.

The best thing they could have atleast done is give the game a PSV2 port. I don't mind the lack of a PS5 port as you can still play on it with improved performance but the fact that you are forced to have a PSVR1 just to play the game on VR is infuriating. Sony always say how much they care about live service but between this and the cancelled Spiderman and TLoU multiplayer projects, I'm starting to have my doubts.

Curious if this means she'll release it to consoles as well lol

About time we got news about this game lol last time we heard anything about it was probably back in 2019 or 2020. The game looks very promising. Hoping this turns out to be atleast a decent souls-like (and hopefully not an unfairly frustrating one unlike say, Lords of the Fallen).

I hope it ends up being decent. From the looks of it, I just hope it pays respect to the original source material given the possible new setting.

Love how Diablo 4's is just christmas related pngs on top of the game's cover art lol

All of this wouldn't have happened have they just made it into a normal MP add on mode like with Ggost of Tsushima Legends but I'm guessing due to Sony's emphasis on GaaS, the project was too ambitious for its own good. It's a shame because I would have love ro play the game's combat against or with friends.

The more I see a lot of these new LotR games fail, the more I start to think about the cancelled Whute Council game and how awesome it could have been.

@GamingFan4Lyf same can be said with unlocking new characters. Buying new characters that should have been at launch will ever be as satisfying as unlocking characters in Smash Bros Brawl.

First avatar, then king kong, now walking deas. Is Nick All Star Brawl 2 the pnly good game they have?

I still wonder what's taking them so long to add actual new PS2 games. I'm glad we're getting new PSP and PS1 games, but still...

Though nice to see Thrillbille again. I remember playing off the rails a lot as a kid on my wii. Kinda surprised to see that the psp version is kind of the same as the cpnsole version, which is great because I was worried that it was the same as the terrible DS port.

For once, a rare Elon win IF he actually keeps his word.

But then again, this Elon we're talking about, a man child who constantly makes the worst changes on Twitter because one or two people made fun of him.

From what I have heard as well, the infamous "no russian" scene is a step down from the original, and felt more like a glorified cutscene. It definitely feels activision went for a safer route for this game, at the cost of making it boring than the og MW3.

Yikes, this is NOT a good sign. This is what people feared about the use of AI.

Aside from being yet another extraction shooter (remember Hyenas), it's really just another sign of the live service struggle Sony is going through.

Please, just let this game to rest. There are alrrady rumors of a Black Flag remake. At this point, why even have skulls and bones now?

If that's true Sony then where's our PSVR games from China Hero Project? We haven't gotten a single new VR game from that since the first batch and the only one that's still in development might as well be cancelled. It's a shame too because flaws aside, I did have an enjoyable time with the PSVR and even met some new friends. The fact that they coudln't even bother giving us a PSVR2 port for Dreams before they dropped the game still leaves a mark.

That, and I'm still salty for the lack of backwards compatibility. If the PS5 can do it with (most) PS4 games, why can't the PSVR2 with PSVR games?

Happened with Naughty Dog too. I just hope it doesn't lead to the closure of the developers...

Atleast Gollum had some budget with the voice acting. This game feels like a steam shoverlware sold for $40 lol

Actually rare to see anime songs used for anime games. They usually have to compose new songs instead of using ones from the anime probably, so this is a pleasent surprise.

Also, haruka kanata too? INSTANT BUY.

I recall there were rumors of Sony working on another souls-like exclusive. Hope it isn't Rise of the Ronin as I really want them to have another Bloodborne, specifically a metroidvania one as RotR is open world.

Reminds me of Transformers Devastation. Damn, I miss that game a lot...

It's really sad to see the state that Factions is in. I really enjoyed TLoU1's Factions mode so I was looking forward for the sequel's spin on the multiplayer feature.

The one good thing to come out form this is that hopefully, Sony will realize their view on live service games just isn't enough and will instead focus on single player games with or without multiplayer add ons (that aren't necessary to enjoy the base game like GoT Legends). Still, a shame to see. Whether yoy like TLoU2 or not, you have to admit that the combat itself is really solid and I would have loved to try it out in co-op or PvP.

I'd be glad if it's not Returnal 2 cause I really want to see what other wild new idea they'll cook up soon. I just know it's gonna be hard as nails and I'm so down for it.

I still keep forgetting that this game was a thing lol

There's a clear difference between multiplayer and live service games. Instead of focusing an delivering us fun chaotic games that we can all enjoy with or without friends, they are all too focused on planning roadmaps, microtrnsactions, multiple currencies, lootboxes, battle passes, etc. Not every multiplayer game need to last more than 5 years. They just need to be good enough to ensure more people to keep playing it. Before the servers were closed, I had way more fun with Killzone 2's and Uncharted 2's multiplayer than with mostbrecent live service games, and those didn't need to last that long to be enjoyable. Just a few dlcs and add-ons are good enough.

The one live service idea that Sony could atleast tackle on is bringing back Playstation Home.

@MagisterMagi aren't there rumors of Naughty Dog working an rpg or Santa Monica making a scifi rpg? I'd take any of those than a KOTOR remake at this point.

Can someone please upload that gif of spiderman saying "good riddance"?

Callisto protocol being offered for ps plus before a year has passed and after many articled adressing the commercial failure of the game is kinda funny, I will admit.

It's a shame that the only one in the hunting genre that's still alive and kicking is monster hunter as always. God Eater, Toukiden, Soul Sacrifice, sadly not many of them have managed to meet a similar stride as MH. The only exceptiom is dauntless but I barley hear anyone talking about it. Plus, revamping the game's systems to force the player to constantly grind for somewhat minimal upgrades put me off.

Yeah, this lineup isn't doing it for me. Largely more of a FF14 fan so I'm not interested in another mmo at the moment. Not interested in the new saints row game either. I might give generation zero a shot out of curiosity but I doubt I'll be playing it for a long time lol i am kinda surprised that it has been receiving a lot of updates though. One of those few rar elive service games that's still alive for some reason.

Love the style. Though I'm usually iffy on multiplayer PSVR2 games. Not because they're bad but because unless tehy're firewall, their online activity could dwindle at any time to the point of having the possibility of a server shut down, due to how niche the PSVR still is in the gaming market. A shame cause there are some pretty good multiplayer psvr games. Sadly, not many of them managed to mainting a healthy playerbase.

I'm convinced they're doing this to make Playstation look bad by comparison to Xbox, which you can already play Red Dead through backward compatibility with higher resolution and framerate (and at a cheaper price too).
