I'm so glad that eastern developed games, are delivering the goods, now when western games, are just getting worse and worse.

Performance mode, is pretty low in resolution, and drops into the 40:s, during intense moments. But mostly seems to stick around 50-60, with some stutters. Still a lot smoother, compared to the quality mode, which looks amazing, but feels like it runs in 20fps, in comparison.

I bet the PS5 Pro will do wonders to this game.

$250?!
These collectors editions are getting stupid expensive. If people only knew how cheap it is to make all that tat today.

@KillerBoy
Just like the original then?

Looking forward to it.
I just couldn't get into the original, due to the clunky controls and combat.

Wait for the Pro, by then the game will probably have gotten some patches (incl a Pro patch), and is sold at a lower price.

I never get hyped about these events anymore.
And I can't stand Geoff, so I'll just read about the announcements afterwards, as usual.

Looks good to me.
The facial animations looks better than a LOT of other games, coming out these days.
Take a look at Starfield, Dragons Dogma 2 etc for bad animations.

This game, feels like it was made by a guy, who wrote "make generic MP shooter" into the AI, and pressed enter.

Vampire Survivor and Dead Cells, with the Castlevania DLC.

Sure, and lets put in enough bloat in there, to make it another trilogy 😂

Seriously though, as a comment mentioned above, I would also rather have a Parasite Eve remake. Or some other classic from the PS1 generation.

The less AC games we get, each generation, the better. How are people not burned out yet??

I'm so glad I'm not part of the FOMO crowd.
Every time something Limited is released, the scalpers go for instant kill.

It's a cool looking controller, but I'm fine with my Midnight Black.
Not worth the stress hunting for this stuff.

I couldn't even finish the trailer...
Always found Borderlands "comedy" to be more annoying, than funny.

Am I the only one, who is getting tired of all the particle FX in modern games? It's getting so over the top, at times, that you can barely see your own character. Everything just becomes a blur, while you button mash, and hope for the best.

Worst case was in FFXVI.
And I have seen some heavy moments in Wukong gameplay as well.
I don't suffer from epilepsy, but it might be my almost 50 year old eyes, that can't handle the most intense mayhem anymore.

Hope it's better than the first game, which felt like a bad Gears of War clone, with mediocre level layout. Got bored with that one, after only two hours.

@MrMagic
Yeah, I meant proper PS5 exclusives, games not available on any other console. Stuff like Returnal, R&C Rift Apart, Demon Souls remake, etc.

It's still shocking, how few native PS5 exclusives, we got, this far into the generation. If this problem continues (might get worse) next gen, then I would probably wait with picking up a PS6, until half the gen has passed.
Sony: "We believe in generations", yeah right...

Great, can we get Gradius VI and Axelay 2 next?

Gonna play it on Ubisoft+ on PC.
Their games are not worth buying, as I only play them once.
And I don't have any high hopes for this one anyways.

Those clunky 32 bit platformers haven't aged very well. Especially the controls.
I never played it, when it was new, otherwise I would probably be able to put the nostalgia goggles on, and get more enjoyment out of it 😁

Nice spoiler screenshot, in the article 😂

I'm so glad I can just get a month of Ubisoft+, on PC, instead of buying the game. If it's actually good, then I can keep the save and buy it on sale. I just don't want to risk paying full price for this one. Been burned too many times by Ubisoft, so I rather "rent" the game first.

I watched 10 seconds. I don't want to spoil the fun.

@Wolfgar

Yeah, I feel the same.
The lack of innovation, game developers playing it safe, using the same tired old formulas over and over again, have made modern gaming extremely boring. And this goes for both Indie and AAA.

I miss the 80:s and 90:s, when every year brought us something new and original. Checking out the arcades, for the new breakthroughs in gameplay and graphics. And console generations, that took huge leaps in hardware and innovation.

VR didn't manage to shake things up either, due to most games being mediocre and shallow experiences.

The PS3/360 generation, was the last one, that (too me) was still truly fun. But the crap that would plague future generations, sadly began during the last years, of that one.

I'm just tired of basically 99% of all new hack n slash games, being souls-like.

Doesn't help that most of them looks the same.
You could take screenshots from 5 games, and it still looks like it's part of the same one.

Sekiro is probably the only one I enjoyed.

YS X, Visions of Mana, and of course: Astrobot!

We had a couple of brutal heatwaves, over here in Sweden lately.
I can't stand the heat (gets worse with age), so I mostly hide from the sun, like a vampire, playing video games or watch movies, until the rain comes.

So I'll guess I'll just wait for the "Complete Edition" a year or two from now, with all the DLC and bugfixes.

I hope Sony spent a LOT of money on this one.
They need to get burned badly, so they learn not to make more crap like this.

It's insane that decade old games, like GTA 5 and Fallout 4 are still on these lists.

It's almost as if we had seen, later PS1 games, in the top 10 lists, during the PS3 generation.

PS5 is almost 4 years old now. The "Slim" model should be reduced to around $400. Especially after the release of the Pro.

When Sony released the PS3 slim, with a much lower price, the sales exploded. But after the success of the PS4, they got greedy.

I'll give it a try on Ubisoft+.
These games usually have zero replay value, so I rather just "rent" the game.

Well, guess I´m just another one of those "haters" then.

I bet that, if this wasn't a first party exclusive, even Push Square would think it sucked

The game will be dead, within a month.

Except for Astrobot and Doom, I don't feel any hype for anything else coming up.
Feels like a long break from gaming, might be coming up soon.

The last Raiden game, I really loved, was Raiden DX.

Will be playing this on PC. I just hope that it's not yet another short VR game, that only last for about 5-6 hours, and has no replay value.
I also get the feeling that it will be more of an "experience", with a few heavily scripted action moment squeezed in. Which is another problem with a lot of VR games. Less of a full blown game, and more of an interactive "Universal Studios" ride.

I hope I'm wrong about everything above, as I want it to be a proper Metro game, and not a typical VR cash grab.

Well, I hope it's better, than the original.
That one got way too repetitive, after just an hour or two, and the level design was boring.

How do people even have time to play these endless F2P games?
Tried two of them for about two hours until I realised that it would eat up all my free time to play them. Just like those online MMO games.

These modern tv-shows are so damn boring anyway.
No matter if it's sci-fi, fantasy or horror, they always turn into boring soap operas...

@PegasusActual93 Not anyway near Death Stranding.

Tried to give this series a try, with Cold Steel.
But there is so much filler, that I lost interest after about 20 hours.
The characters are the typical generic ones, that you meet in basically every modern JRPG.
And the dialogue goes on and on and on...
Which is too bad really, because I liked the battle system.

But if this is a complete story, in just ONE game, maybe I'll give it a chance, during a sale.

I wish Kojima made games like Snatcher and MGS1 again, before his games became too damn weird, and Hollywood pretentious...

I don't blame "old" Konami, if they got tired of his *****.
And I don't like the way he handled the situation with David Hayter, during the development of MGS5.
Kojima didn't even thank him, for what he did for the series.
Kojima sound like the kind of guy that gladly throws you under the bus, to get his way.

Well the arcade was pretty much an open city area, as you could drive anywhere, instead of being a linear racer like Outrun and Sega Rally. So open world works for me, as long as it keeps the fast pace.

Just what we need, more remakes....

This is basically what the original PS2 game looks like, when rendering in 4K on an emulator. Pretty lazy remaster. They could at least have added new high res textures.

I hope this sells enough, to make Sony realize, that they don't need to spend $300 million, and 6-7 years to make a first party game.

To quote Krusty: "What the hell was that?!"

All these team-based shooters, looks the same too me.

I recommend RPCS3, if you have a Gaming PC/Handheld.
Playing Resistance 2, rendered in 1440p, unlocking the framerate to +60fps, with no screen tearing, is such a great experience, compared to the original machine.
So many exclusive games, which had very rough performance and resolutions, on the PS3, now looks and run like remasters, in comparison.

I play games to relax and have some fun, instead of trying to awaken my inner Hulk.
At almost 50, I just don't have the patience anymore, to "git gud", in frustrating games.
