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.

Is this a port of an old PS2 game?
The graphics looks horrible.

I'm just burned out on this genre.

Loved the darker and more serious tone.
I often find modern JRPG to be too cringe and annoying.
But this felt like a more grown up FF.

They should just release a next gen patch, to render the game in 4K and boost the FPS to 60fps. No need for a remaster or remake.

After all the "Souls" games that followed, inkl Elden RIng, Sekiro etc. Bloodborne, just feels sluggish in comparison. Felt like it was overrated, even when it was new.

Too be honest. Except for Astrobot, I doubt my PS5 will get much use this year. Since I mostly game on PC and Switch, the PS5 is just a dust collector now. Maybe next year will be better, but I've been saying that to myself, for four years in a row now. I know some are very happy with the games released on the console. But I guess I'm just not interested in the type of AAA games, that Sony makes today. Their focus on third person cinematic games, like Horizon, God of War and Last of Us, are just boring to me now, compared to back in the PS3 era, when games like Uncharted felt fresh and exciting.

And then GTA7 will follow in 2047, due to multiple console generations of GTA6 ports and remasters.

It's been so damn long now, that I lost all excitement for the new game...

Xbox wiped the floor with the rest of the shows.
I always expect these events to be massive disappointment, but the Xbox show, is the only one, in MANY years, that was actually exciting.

@NattyKing

I know they're going multi-platform.
But it wasn't long ago fanboys said they had no interest at all in Xbox games, but now suddenly, they do 😂

So the fanboys went from "We don't want Xbox games!", to "Give us all Xbox games!"
Interesting how quickly things change

This blew Sony out of the water.

I hope we see a return of old-school hack n slash, in the near future. I'm beyond burned out on the "Souls" genre...

Fanboys must live a miserable life, to get upset about stuff like this. Talk about first world problems...

I didn't watch it live. I waited until it was over, and then skimmed through it on youtube. I always do this, so I don't have to suffer through all the boring ***** live.

There was maybe 2-3 games, that was interesting. The rest was just the same crap, we've had for years now. CGI trailers should be banned...

My girlfriend have been waiting for a new Lego game, but she doesn't own a Playstation. So happy she will be able to enjoy it on her Switch

All these MP games, looks the same to me.

Not a fan of the Horizon games.

Something set in the Astrobot world, would have been more fitting for a Lego game. Throw in Ratchet and Clank in there as well.

Wonder if the infected will show up.
I think we saw them for a total of 15 minutes, in the first season.

"Great", more F2P crap...
I fear what the industry will look like, 10 years from now...

Bought the original on PC, a while back, and the artstyle still looks great, especially in 4K.
Even the PS2 version still looks great on a CRT.

That's why I prefer games with artstyles like this, instead of photorealism, as they age MUCH better.

A remaster of the original version, with some QoL improvements, rendered in 4K, would have been enough.

Already got SoR4 on release.
Still nothing to make me subscribe again.

I can seriously not think of any game, that I'm truly looking forward to, this year, except for Astrobot.
I'm just so damn tired of boring cinematic games, Souls-likes, post apocalyptic misery simulators, military FPS etc.

Too me, the world is a total mess, so it's the perfect timing for a game like Astrobot to cheer us up a bit.

Please, no more TLoU.
The first one had such a great ending. They should just have left it there.
I'm so damn tired of sequels, both when it comes to games and movies.

And I wish they would try something different now, instead of making more cinematic third person games. So many other genres they could try out.

This really is such a first world problem.
I'm more worried about what Putin will do next, than what will happen to my video games. 😂

@zekepliskin

Ah, forgot to add, that I meant downloading digital backups on PSN. I changed the post.

And about not owning digital.
I can download backups of Steam games, and save them on a physical device forever. Same with GOG etc. Been digital on PC for 18 years now, and I haven't lost a single game. Even if Steam lose the license for a game, if I bought it, I can still download it from them.

Edit: Though sadly you can't make backup of digital games on PSN, to keep them safe on external storage.

Why the hell would I care, when I'm dead?
And same with physical. People can throw it in the bin, because I won't care.

Astrobot...and...that's it for me.
