These guys made Halo and Playstation is entirely lacking in first-party shooters. Get them to make a new IP - advertised as from the creators of Halo and Destiny, exclusive to Playstation - designed to be ripe for sequels, with a big-budget campaign and robust multiplayer mode.
But noooo. "Live service wee wee wee". The purchase of Bungie was a good idea, how they've been used since is the problem.
@AccessibleDaydream Alan Wake 2 got its (excellent and feature-packed) photo mode this june after releasing in october. Should they have delayed the full game 8 months until it was ready? Bit absurd.
It looks like multiple 'we already have . . . at home' examples rolled into one. Add the visually unappealing characters and who is this for?
A better idea would be to invest in smaller games and spin-offs between the big ones. Lost Legacy and Miles Morales did well. I would buy a Tsushima, or Last of Us spin-off for £40 in a heartbeat.
Or work with smaller studios on new exclusives. Would love to see what (for example) Don't Nod or Spiders would do if backed by Sony resources.
Well deserved! It's a great game. Well-written and vastly customisable, with an excellent combat system and oddly cozy open world that respects the players time. This generation's Days Gone IMO.
Police Sim. One of those games I kinda want but would never actually pay for. 9/10 rated on Steam though, so let's see. Anno looks cool. Aaaand Ive somehow never played Far Cry 4. Good month.
Nightdive are doing the Lords work. Loved getting to play Shadowman and Turok again after all those years. Looking forward to this one too! It was too hard for me as a kid, the modern touches tend to make them easier though (or maybe I just got better at games idk).
What does 25% bigger mean? Map size? Number of quests? General game length? The first was about 100hrs for me so 125hrs for the sequel? That sounds more than fine.
I was thinking about how like... Bioware passed the western RPG baton to Bathesda and then fell off. Then I think CDPR picked it up as Bethesda declined. And now maybe it belongs to Larian.
Release Quantum Break on Ps. Been craving more Remedy goodness since the masterpiece that was Alan Wake 2. The only one of their games I haven't played. (Okay, apart from Death Rally).

Great game. Picked up their Terminator one after too and really enjoyed it. Would love to see them take on Escape From New York

Re: Poll: One Year Later, What Are Your Thoughts on Final Fantasy 16?
Boss fights were great. Most of the rest was average. Side (and not so side) quests were utterly deplorable.

Re: There's a Damn Good Reason to Buy Astro Bot Physically on PS5
It'll also be cheaper than digital if you shop around. And you can resell it.

Re: Hogwarts Legacy PS5, PS4 Summer Update Detailed in New Video
Robocop Rogue City was my Hogwarts Legacy. That is a mediocre kinda game but so so good of youre a fan of the franchise.

Gonna download Fight Forever , put it on easy mode , use CM Punk to destroy the Young Bucks , then delete the game.
Re: SEGA 'Flat Out Rejected' Initial Pitches for Yakuza/Like a Dragon
I bet the surface similarities to Shenmue, so soon after it proved so very unprofitable, were a factor.
Re: Hands On: Will Wuthering Waves Really Replace Genshin Impact on PS5, PS4?
Why are loot boxes considered a terrible evil, but these gacha games (which seem to be built around them) never take that flack?
Re: The Next Naughty Dog Game Its 'Most Thrilling Yet', Says Neil Druckmann
To most people who played the games I think the Last of Us show was just... okay?
Big fan of the Druckmann but this seems like some hubris.
Re: New PS2 Emulator Appears to Be Imminent on PS5, PS4
The terrible ps2 version of Max Payne on the store would massively benefit from this.
Re: Final Fantasy 16, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Fail to Meet Expectations on PS5
16 failed to meet my expectations, as did remake. Rebirth? No thank you.
Re: The Witcher's Ciri Says She Hopes Fans Give Liam Hemsworth a Chance as Geralt
Trash since series 2. Respect to Cavell for walking away from what was probably a very nice payday.
Re: Stellar Blade PS5 Dev Thanks Fans for 'Passion' Following Censorship Controversy
Lure them in with titties, take away some of the titties, keep em hungry for titties. Consecutive storms in DD cups. Much reporting. Marketing genius.
Re: Rumour: Resident Evil 9 Reveal and Release Imminent, Out in January
@Specky so hyped you never played them.
Re: Rise of the Ronin PS5 Sales Beating the Nioh Series
@DennisReynolds yeah it's that philosophy you adopted in season 15 to bang zoomer chicks.
Edit: Was joking Dennis. Some of my favourite games get blasted by the anti-woke types.

How about a version without all the tat for the same price but much lower shipping cost?
Re: Excellent PS5 Game Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Now Part of EA Play

It's the one made by the chap who voiced Bayek, right?
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Rise of the Ronin?
8/10 for the combat flow. The world is kinda cozy too. Going about petting some cats, snapping some pictures... then behead some fools.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for April 2024 Announced
Down to try Immortals. Now Dead Island 2 on extra please Sony.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Dragon's Dogma 2, Rise of the Ronin Off to a Weak Start at Retail
I think word of mouth will bolster Ronin a bit over time. Players seem to really like it more than critics did.
