The best (and only for some) thing of the show, I expected nothing less from the remnants of Japan Studio! Even just few of the developers left of that wonderful studio are able to put out something beautiful and creative like this!
I thought it was terrible with almost nothing but pvp garbage except a few Japanese games (specially Astro Bot!) that did look interesting but I need to see more. Overall it was a waste of time for me.
Getting two Overwatch clones in one State of Play is insanity! I was invested in the CGI trailer of Concord, the characters were interesting... till the gameplay hit then they all seemed insignificant and small.
@Specky Are you watching the same trailers we are? 😅 I've never seen Dragon Ball look this good before in a game, I've played all of them and I will admit that most are just cheap cash brags. But everything they've shown so far blow those other games recent games out the water.
@LifeGirl He could say the same for you? He has a side and you have yours! Everyone that visits this site already knows where you both stand...btw at what time tomorrow was our anti-woke meeting I seem to have misplaced my calendar 😔
Please! let's stop the focus on cutting edge graphics & sound without anything else (hi Hellblade 2 😒). I'll take Switch graphics if that means I will be having fun instead of playing a wannabe movie that the game director wished he was making instead.
Well he's not going to say his next game is going to be his most boring yet and will be considered hot trash 😅 that said whatever it is I hope is a new ip, put TLOU in the toy box next to Uncharted! (Although I do want a new Uncharted by another studio!)
Sony loves everything from Japan except the game aspect of everything apparently! there's Polyphony who only make car games and Team ASOBI who make fun little tech demos, where's our Japanese games? You like anime then gives us Anime games!?
Currently playing it on GP and I have to say if you didn't like the first one you won't like this one, is a flashier version of the same. I hated the first game so I'm currently forcing myself to play this one, this is definitely Xbox's The Order 1886 except wayyyy more boring.
"How excited are you by the prospect of Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 port for PS5?"
I'm bored just thinking about it 😅 can't believe there are people that didn't find the first one dull. On top of the ugly art style one of the slowest games. That aside I'm happy that they aren't closing, maybe later we can get a colab with Sony and they can remake Heavenly Sword!
Like Tomb Raider this looks like manufactured controversy from their end, the people that lead these companies aren't dumb and know what to do if they want to maximize profit. This is exactly the reaction they expected and the reaction they wanted.
They didn't randomly pick Yasuke because they care about diversity or anything like that, they knew that it would cause a strong reaction from both sides. Instead of being just another generic AC game they now have engagement (positive & negative) through the roof, I promise the higher ups are giggling right now at all this "drama" 😐
Sir we know you're lying, even the couple of people that played and liked it know you're lying so why say that? That just makes you look unhinged and delusional 😐
Genuinely curious who in Japan doesn't have a Switch at this point, how is it still getting all these sales do people over there buy one each month to decorate the house or something?
Sounds like something that can be easily skipped by me, I don't even need to see a trailer I know exactly how is going look and play as most of these Lego games have the same dna.
I hate to be ungrateful (proceeds to be ungrateful 😅) but I hope after this emulator Sony considers a PS3 emulator for PS5 at least as I doubt PS4 has the power. I dream of a single box that will be able to play PS5/4/3/2/1/PSP/Vita locally!
An absolutely embarrassing day to be a Xbox owner! When Sony closed Japan Studio I thought there's nothing Microsoft can do that would be dumber but they reached under the barrel and found a way 🤦
How are you going to close your only studio in Japan knowing that they were lucky to have got them at all, Western companies can't just go to Japan and buy up studios is almost impossible under normal circumstances. I hope Xbox ports all their games to PlayStation so I that I don't have to bother owning two systems anymore.
Well I hope everyone learned a valuable life lesson here, if you complain loud enough you'll eventually get your way 😅 (happy for those players in the 170+ countries though!)
Their ultimate goal was to make a successful live service game and they did that, they should have changed course as soon as they saw the success and maybe postpone that requirement or just removed it (maybe making an exception just for Helldivers 2? like Xbox did for baldur's gate 3 and one of their mandates!)
Now their very successful live service game is imploding by their own hand, this could potentially make it harder for future Sony live service titles to blow up as well. It's a giant mess and we don't even have Jim Ryan to blame this time.
This could have bigger implications (if this isn't fix immediately) as in Arrowhead is watching Sony in real time destroy their game, studio and reputation. They have no say in the matter yet are feeling the backlash, this could be the last time Arrowhead works with Sony.
Well Sony has spent the last year absolutely grovelling to the PC crowd, even giving them special treatment over PS players so here you go Sony now lay in that bed you made 🤷
@PJ5 It will most definitely be 3rd person, you can thank the abomination that is RE6 for almost killing the franchise. I love RE7 & 8 equally but now is time to return to it's roots with the og cast!
@Vault_Mcfly Sir I say this with kindness but you are in denial 🙁 PSVR2 has already been "Vita" by Sony. Yeah you'll see a few new PSVR2 games by third parties here and there (just like Vita) but Sony has washed it's hands of the device (again like Vita).
Well say hi to Horizon remastered! As long as there is some upgrade path like for tlou2 then I have no problem, if is a full priced purchase for everyone then I will personally show them were they can shove it!
Nothing for me, I don't touch sports games and for some reason Sony in bend on shoving anything Destiny related down our throats. Maybe they see declining player numbers or something 🤷
@Czar_Khastik But you already got your 2D Dragon Ball fighting game (a excellent one too!) in FightersZ! What you wanted another one? Let us 3D fans get our Tenkaichi game now, maybe they follow this game with another 2D game for you.
Already knew this was a manufactured controversy from within to get people worked up, (they already knew the exact reaction they were going to get) then "fix it" which will certainly lead to more sales they originally weren't going to get. Congratulations to everyone that got worked up and bought into it, you got played 🤷
@nessisonett "I probably won’t play it because the director is an abysmal human being."
I'm probably way to the left of you and even I find your comment very goofy to put it nicely 😅
If you were to apply that standard of a crappy person (or subhuman treatment, working conditions,etc) making something you consume and boycotting them your house would be near empty and you would be without a phone, barely any games, barely any clothes and barely any food 🤷
""I think that as games become more expensive to make, the $70 title is going to go the way of the dodo."
I agree Mr Karch next gen they will be $80 for the reason you stated of games becoming more expensive (but mainly corporate greed!). To suggest they will come down is frankly fairytale nonsense 🙄
I can't enjoy a game the same with 30fps 🤷 it was fine playing them as a kid and during the PS3 era but after the PS4 Pro I can longer stomach it. Is sad that Xbox seems to be less interested in 60 fps than anyone else.
I need the 60 fps option in every game, I've been spoiled and can't go back. At least Sony still cares about giving us the option of 60, Microsoft has thrown in the towel and most of their exclusives only target 30fps.
@Zenos Your post almost always sound like a parody of today's teens, I'm surprised you don't throw a "Karen" in there 😅
The demo already sold me I just wish the release date was closer, basically have to wait a month and like always first playthrough will be the default skin!
Wait The Flow is a current google engineer or he's just talking on behalf of the engineers? I would find it strange that him of all people would help out Sony patch up anything PlayStation related.
Well I wouldn't say no! If it was up to me I would have every country develop their own console and games, we would have game variety up the a** so bring it! 💪
@ShogunRok "Probably not, but the PS5 makes Sony way more money than the PS2 ever did because of the PlayStation Store."
That's fantastic news if you're a shareholder! for everyone else this is one of the weakest PlayStation consoles when it comes to games and more specifically exclusives. Compare the PS1/2/3/4 exclusive games library to the PS5 and it's like comparing Neptune to a rock in your backyard.
All three console manufacturers should instead be sued for releasing subpar easily breakable controller sticks, I have had to buy two extra PS5 and Xbox controllers because of the stick drift garbage. They have such talented engineers but can't seem to figure out how to make durable sticks going for 30 years now!
I was very excited until I saw (unofficially) that there's basically no upgrade to the GPU so GTA 6 at 30fps on the PS5 amateur will still be 30fps on the Pro 🤦
Please let it be anytime but GOW 🙏 Sony Santa Monica is such a talented studio and deserve more than being known as just that God Of War studio. Seriously all they've made since 2005 is GOW let's see something else Cory please!
Very nice I will try and see if is true what the detractors are saying that is all about fan service and nothing else! seeing as they are confident enough to put out a demo I think there will be much more to the game.
@Kraaatos "also digital foundry: "We don't need mid gen consoles"
Unfortunately even if the PS5 Pro was out now the game with virtually run the same, it would probably be identical to the Series X version. For some reason (if leaks are correct) they didn't really upgrade the CPU so it would have the same problems 🤦
Fine by me they should take their time! I can only imagine the stress all the Rockstar developers are on knowing that their game will break all the sales records and be the talk of the world so they have to deliver a 10/10 game, a 9/10 would probably be looked at as a disappointment by execs.
Absolutely hilarious, I definitely approve 👍 they bought the game so they are allowed to consume it in whichever way they want! it's harmless fun besides I'm sure that Capcom has many patches on the way to improve performance everywhere.
@Lup "Tsushima's one of the most beautiful looking games I've ever played. It was also one of the most boring and mediocre ones."
Hey I hear you, I can actually sympathize with you because I hold an unpopular opinion in that I thought GOW Ragnarok was the most boring thing I have ever played.
I thought I was the crazy one but there's just some great games that aren't going to click with everyone. There's also some bad games that will click for some people, for example I had fun playing Duke Nukem Forever 😬
@Lup "Sounds amazing. Like a good Ghost of Tsushima."
GOT didn't look like a PS3 game 😅 have you seen the gameplay videos going around? TLOU on PS3 looked better with more detail. This is the ugliest game Team Ninja has made to date, the gameplay does look good though so there's that 👍
