I'm fine with that. Better to not hold the game back because of last gen consoles.

Really saddens me that it's just now that Sony is fully acknowledging the game. At this point, what does it gotta take to finally convince them to port the game to PS5 and PSVR2? The latter especially.

Considering one of the earlier projects was Project X which was similarly billed as an action chinese epic but was sadly cancelled, I'm glad that sony asia didn't quickly abandoned the concept and saved it for the later batches and from what I have heard, my time at portia was pretty good, though seeing them go from a simulation rpg to a hack and slash one could be a bit risque. Then again, same thing happened with F.I.S.T. and that one ended up surpriisngly solid, so who knows?

I was sorta expecting this to happened. Last time I played, there was a severe lack of balance with some of the mechas, and the map layouts aren't as well designed as Overwatch's (or heck, even Paladins'). Another thing I didn't like was how you were forced to be thrown on random modes, as the game didn't let you choose the mode you want. It really made the game just tedious to play, which is a shame because I could see potential here.

Also, because the game didn't have that many support mechas, the whole "team synergy" just didn't work here, especially when the game gives little explanation on which mecha does well.

From the looks of it, probably gonna be based on the new season.

I honestly just hope it's made by a competent developer. Don't want another mediocre 2v2 arena fighter like knights of britannia lol

I presuming they're making this in case Skulls and Bones fails lol

Why not just make a Black Flag sequel?

Not gonna lie, I didn't even know the game even released months ago. I put the blame on how poor the game's marketing was.

The PFPs are okay but eh, something about them look off to me lol I am kinda surprised that Tchia though, and I really do like the wallpaper. Surprised to see Zeus and Locoroco there.

I'm just disappointed we haven't seen any cars. Vehicular combat has always been the heart of the franchise. I'm fine with TLoU tv show not using too many infecteds, but for TM? It's just not the same without vehicular.

Honestly, I'm fine with them adding Siren 2 to PS Plus Premium as well as Blood Curse (with all the episodes). It's the best they could do because I highly doubt Jim Ryan would be interested in bringing back the franchise, depsite the resurgance of horror games right now.

I was surprised that they never bothered to give another update to one of their China Hero Project games. Hell, Pervader is the only PSVR game that's still in development and IS part of the program. Would have been a better time to announce it instead of giving us another VR shooter.

"Scifi PvP first person shooter"

I swear, if this is the kind of innovation Sony is striving for its live service games, then I'm not interested lol at this point, just give us a live service ps all stars game or a Ps home alternative. Not every live service need to be PvP shooter games.

Genuinely makes me wish Forspoken took a somewhat more linear approach to begin with instead of settling for a tired open world approach.

"Modern day robin hood"

So it's literally just Hood Outlaw and Legends but as a shooter? Good to know that Sony automatically saw this as innovative, I guess.

@Fuzzymonkeyfunk That's actually on point. It was varied. Just not the kind of variety we were expecting from Sony themselves. Especially due to how scarce the first party content was. No PSVR first party game, no news on Sony bend's new project, no update on TLoU2 nor Horizon multiplayer, nothing from Bluepoint, etc.

I'm still disappointed with the catalogue of PSVR games that were shown. Did we really need a trailer for crossfire, beat saber and arizona sunshine 2 when they could have been shown at any point after the showcase?

Also, out of the 5 psvr games, only one wasn't a shooter game. So much for variety I guess.

God I love these fake leaks. Sometimes they can just make my day for the wrong reasons lol

It's not even a sequel anymore. It's just free-to-play Overwatch 1 with a new exclusive patch lol

I'm guessing it's to raise more the HL's sales, which is funny because the game, like it or not, was a breakout hit, with already a sequel possibly underway too. Literally what's the point of this lol

@NEStalgia "the better Redfall starts looking."

Hey now, let's not go there lol if Sony had a hold of Redfall, the Ai would have been less bad and it would have atleast have more animated cutscenes. Regardless, I see your point.

@ThorsHammer Really feels like Sony's focus on next gen games with that AAA feel is doing more damage than good. Heck, even with China Hero Project which is supposed to expand chinese games to overseas, unless the games we're talking about are FIST and Lost Soul Aside, they barely mentioned any of their other games, including those that are still in development hell like Pervader and AI Limit.

Sony needs to step up and start giving us a catalogue of diverse games that aren't just from making deals with indie studios or third party studios, bur from first party studios as well. I want more colorful first party games that aren't just next gen open world action or over-the-shoulder narrative-focused, and this is coming from someone who loves God of War, Spiderman, Ghost of Tsushima, etc.

This genuinely makes me worried about Media Molecule now, making me worried if Asobi team will be the only one in charge of making games that don't boast "next gen visuals".

Taking notes from Sing's trailer, I see lol

Regardless, it looks promising. Not big on gran turismo but since this is actually based on a tru story I'm curious.

I'm glad even he knows that putting big emphasis on live service game isn't a good idea. Agleast with singleplayer games, tehy wil lstill be remembered and played throughtout many years, while for live service games, at some point, it will recieve a shutdown, making it almost unplayable.

I honestly blame sony for not marketing this game enough. They couldn't at the very least give it a PC port to bring in new players. It's a shame because it had a lot of potential. But regardless, I guess it was expected. Because it was mostly just a "game maker", it probably didn't make a huge splash with the general audience, especially those who just want to play a game with a story and a more focused gameplay.

If it doesn't let me play ps5/ps4 games on the go, then what's the point? It's literally just a ps vita but can only be uaed for remote play.

I'm still baffled as to how poorly marketed this was compared to the girst PSVR. Hell, PSVR1 even got the attention of chinese developers, which were all the rage for Sony asia back in 2016. But as years went on and with PSVR2 already on the horizon, I've barely seen any chinese game coming to the new platform. Not even ports atleast. I'm convinced the hype for the vr machine went down as time went by, but that's just me.

Also, lack of backward compatibility. The fact that previous psvr games need to be ported to PSVR2 instead of simply just playing them on it like with the ps5 is a huge downside. Not to mention not all of the psvr games will get ported. Highly doubt games like loading human, mini mech mayhem or dying reborn will get ported to VR2 at all, so don't hold your breat on playing them on a newer hardware.

For once, I just want something related to the older games. I want them to just lay down with the p5 popularity.

@Impossibilium That's my problem I have with Sony. They have a tendency to give out some good ideas but they either don't do much with it, aren't well executed, or just abandon it completely. PS Tv, dreams, Playlink, ps classic, ps plus tiers, Vita, China hero, ps talents, live service games, etc. The only one I'm sueprised it managed to succeed was Ps vr, and even then the fact that psvr2 doesn't support backwards compatibility is a huge blow.

Dreams imo, is really underappreciated and I think it would benefit on coming to other platforms, especially when media molecule expressed interest on that idea. Imagine playing Dreams on the go on the switch and create games without needing internet connection. Instead, Sony would rather spend much of their money on ad campaigns for their bigger cinematic games instead of using half of it to support or expand their other projects.

@ItsBritneyB_tch that could change if sony was actually smart and let media molecule port the game to ps5 and PC lol

@UltimateOtaku91 Yeah, and the reactions for all of them were nothing but negative. Just because others are doing it, doesn't mean it's a good thing. They're just jumping on what's currently popular (trend catching). Besides, even if it's popular, it won't guarantee that it will be a success. Remember Ubisoft Quartz? Did so poorly that it practically killed the support for Ghost recon breakpoint.

Honestly, Jim ryan already had that look of a type of person who would support unironically NFTs

The thing is, the hype for NFTs already died off like, 3 years ago. I've seen more people talk about Ai generated art than NFTs if anything.

The problem is that they barely had any marketing at all. I forgot Diofield chronicles and Star Ocean 6 were even released.

Well, it looks like it could be alright. I mean, atleast it's not a live service game like Hood atleast lol

The problem with live service gamea nowadays is that they are trying to chase the same train of success of Fortnite. The problem is that it's already too little too late. Just look at Destruction All Stars. While I'm glad the developers tried to improve the game, because of the lack of any big updates (or any new characters) makes it obvious that the game's future is looking dim. If Sony is not leaning on supporting and improving destruction all stars, then who's to say they'll be any different with their other upcoming live service titles?

Sony should stick to what they do best. Single player games with optional multiplayer modes/components. It's a shame cause their IPs have potential for some MP growth. Imagine a Monster hunter style Horizon spinoff, or a hero shooter more for Rift Apart, or even something like GoT:Legends for God of war or spiderman 2. Dumb ideas I know, but still...

Lots of live service games right now are either getting shut down, having their support cut short, or are struggling to provide a profit for the devs. Really feels like live service is slowly losing steam. Now I'm worried for destruction all stars.

I think that's a good thing. They should let Naughty Dog make something new insteading of focusing on making sequels of their popular games.

Unless it's Jak though, which I'm completely fine with lol

Literally just give up on it. Hell, even live service games like Fallout 76 look more exciting than Skulls and Bones. If all you really gonna do in that game is just ship battles and nothing else, then I don't expect the game to maintain the players' attention for a long time.

We need more anime games like this and less mediocre arena fighters/pvp-focused ones lol

I honestly just hope it turns out to be more faithful than the Halo tv series.

Makes me glad he left the team tbh...

I have a feeling this guy is going to end up like David Jaffe sadly lol

"how you play will 'change the outcome of how the game responds as a consequence'."

Not gonna lie, I'm kinda getting tired of this selling point because most of the time, it's almost never a huge deal. And at worst, it's straight up lying lol hope I'm proven wrong.

They will also publish Convallaria, which gives me hope that it will turn out atleast as good as Lost Soul Aside, because we barely heard much about Convallaria and the gameplay videos thye have shown were "meh" to say the least, though they could just be pre-alpha footage.

I hope the best for these two games. So far, I enjoyed some of the latest China Hero's latest outings like Anno and FIST, although In Nightmare didn't turn out as good as I expected at launch (the devs did try their best on fixing the game and even ported it to Steam but still...), so I'm still toning down my expectations lol

Wonder if this was the reason for them to add Nioh 2 to PS Plus, as a way to celebrate this milestone.

@LIMA great that you enjoyed it (i did too, though I'm still hoping the sequel expand more on the gameplay aspect) but you still really need to give Nioh a shot. Ignore some of the game's etilist fans though and there's a good reason why Sony loved the game so much that they went as far as to publish the games for the Playstation version (which probably explains why Nioh coming to Xbox is highly unlikely, as said by the devs). The only thing that might put you off are certainly the difficulty spikes (and the loot system if you' weren't a fan of that in games like Borderlands or Destiny).

@LIMA Did you even gave Nioh a chance at all? Are you just not a fan of the japanese setting? Guess Ghost of Tsushima probably won't be for you lol

I chuckled at the headline lol good one guys

Wouldn't be surprised if it's some chesp mobile knockoff. You'd be surprised to see how mamy mobile games there are with names staken from other games.
