He's a creative genius so I'll be watching! Is concerning about Japan Studio though.

While I like my packaging to look nice, environment takes priority.

I still can't really imagine it. However I'll give it a chance because Pedro is an amazing actor.

Wow, had to read the title again to make sure it was what I was thinking of. Should be interesting.

What an absolute moron. Tesco is a actually a somewhat useful middleman, because it's hard for the consumers to get eggs directly from the farmer. Scalpers aren't useful middlemen, because that already exists in the form of places like GAME and Amazon. They're not useful for providing stock if they're the reason there is no stock.

I thought the first game was excellent, and the demo reminded me why I liked it so much. I'm definitely picking it up.

@Xnx_gaming Amen. I have no idea why Evolution ditched a series like Motorstorm for another racing sim.

@Hyperluminal Agreed. More content is generally good, but I hate it when games over stay their welcome and feel like a slog.

Sounds decent, I'll probably just wait for a sale though.

Hopefully scalpers don't somehow buy up all of the slots.

Hopefully comes. PS could always use more horror games like this.

Very appropriate setting for a horror game.

@Octane Omg, don't get my hopes up like that.

Kind of hope it's not Uncharted. I think the series ended perfectly with 4, I don't think there's need for it to continue. Plus there's other series' that have been left in the dust for longer. New Jak game would be amazing.

@Cornaboyzzz Myself, I was gonna ask if there was anyone else.

It's definitely gonna be TLOU3. It will be about the big seraphite woman's son taking vengeance for his mum's death, and he'll beat Abby to death with a gold club in the the first 30 minutes.

@wiiware Yep, they couldn't do one invasion and not the other.

@wiiware I highly recommend it. There are quite a few filler episodes, but it does a great job of fleshing out characters and showing different aspects of the war.

@wiiware At least it ended The Clone Wars perfectly. And there's a bunch of new series announced, I reckon at least half of them will be good.

@RogerRoger Aha, you're not wrong.

And I want to buy it. The first is ridiculously underrated, it needs another spotlight.

@RogerRoger I believe Battlefield 6 is meant to be DICE's next game, so I wouldn't bet on it. Even if I was a betting man

Not very high, but it's nice that The Last Guardian is at least on this list. Uncharted 4, Bloodborne and GoT were all my picks. And I don't seem to like it quite as much as everyone else, but GoW was an excellent game. I just disliked the unnecessarily close camera and removal of regular jumping to make it more cinematic,

@BAMozzy Bloodborne had help from Japan Studio, so I'm not sure to what extent, but it did have in put from a first party studio.

@nhSnork I wish Sony would put more effort into their "Nintendoesque" games. They're quite rare and very poorly marketed.

Being forced to pick between Bloodborne, Ghost of Tsushima and Uncharted 4 (and many others) is like being made to choose a favourite child.

And much as it's a great game, is TLOU remastered really an exclusive? It's basically the original game with updated specs, DLC, and a word added into the title, not really a new game exclusive to PS4.

@TechaNinja COD has always had the opportunity for OP setups, and people have always exploited them. WAW had MP40 Jug, MW2 had Noobtubes with Danger Close and One Man Army/Scavenger, and BO had the FAMAS.

In fairness, every country got fewer PS5 than needed to meet demand. That being said, I've not heard any good news about Sony in Japan recently. And that sucks coz Japan Studio is one of their best, and anything that means they are scaled down sucks.

I'm amazed this is actually coming to life after so long.

I don't mind the fact Joel died so much, it's just how he died is dumb. The writing around his death is just laughably bad.

Firstly, the WLF had stupidly good luck in finding Joel. They were originally looking for just Tommy, but they somehow manage to find Tommy AND Joel in the most lucky situation. Then neither Tommy or Joel has the guard up or is slightest bit defensive, even standing in the middle of the room with no weapons. It's stupidly out of character for the guy who distrusted a family who needed a lift, even before his daughter died. I've heard the argument "he got soft living in Jackson", but we never saw that happen, and even if it did that's ridiculous. There were so many ways to make Joel's death great, but Naughty Dog really squandered it.

@LordSteev That's really underplaying how bad crunch is. Crunch periods can mean staff are working 100 hour work weeks. That's 100 hours of a week of intense work, very few breaks, little leisure time, reduced sleep and a myriad of other negative health effects. On top of that, they spend very little time with loved ones, and the stress of so much work can mentally break people. Developer burnout is such a big thing due to how damaging things are. Yes people generally sign up for game development because they're passionate for it, but 100 hours of anything in a week is bound to kill someone's passion.

Just because there worse situations out there, it's no reason to not recognise when a situation is bad and changes need to be made.

@Cornaboyzzz Yeah, really surprised to not see Doom Eternal on there.

@Col_McCafferty Yeah and in those articles, going out of my way to bash TLOU2 would have been off topic. However this article is explicitly praising TLOU2, so it's not mad that I'm criticising the game as a counterargument.

Yeah no one exactly forced me to click on the article, but I'm obviously going to see it since I like using the site. I'm not going to not use the site because I'm terrified at the prospect of TLOU2 winning the site's GOTY. At that point, I may as well just click on the article to see what's being said and contribute to the conversation.

I don't see what's the problem with people complaining about the game as long as it's relevant to the conversation and respectful.

@Gaming365247 Well it makes sense. Just because a game gets awards, it doesn't mean the people who disliked it because of major issues with the story will suddenly warm up to it.

And it's not like people who dislike the game are bringing it up. It's getting brought up in conversation by people giving it awards, it's natural for people to respond to this. If fans of the game are allowed to praise the game endlessly, we're allowed to criticise the game endlessly. I'd really love to be able to forget about this game, but it's pretty hard when it's constantly on the front page of news sites.

@Col_McCafferty There's a video of someone doing a cover of Nothing Else Matters by Metallica, it's amazing.

@Col_McCafferty Yeah the artstyle isn't realistic at all. Though as much as I would have liked to have seen a more accurate representation of 13th century Japan, it is an amazing take on fantasy Japan. And I like how sidequests are organised into quests with a specific character. But yeah, if you like games like HZD and AC, chances are you'll like GoT.

@Max_the_German That sounds like a dream, where developers prioritise framerate over graphics.

@Col_McCafferty You're in for a treat, the story gets really good!

Knew it would be number on here. Personally the most disappointing game I've ever played. I think the story was such a let down compared to the first game, the writing isn't very good, characters aren't as likable/interesting, and the game is too long which isn't helped by really bad pacing. I think there were interesting ideas and I appreciate game devs taking risks, but I really don't think they paid off. Though to those who got enjoyment out of the game, good on you.

That being said, just because I think the story is really bad I still think it is overall a decent game, due to other aspects that were done well like graphics, gameplay and accessibility options.

Because other people are doing it, here are my top 5:
5) Ghostrunner
4) Doom Eternal
3) Crash Bandicoot 4
2) Fall Guys
1) Ghost of Tsushima

Happy New Year everyone, hopefully this one can be better.

@Menchi I'm playing the original at the moment, and all I can say is yes! Or a sequel.

I hope the Spyro sequel is true. It makes so much sense after Crash 4, and there have been teases to it.

Probably my Goty. Combat was awesome fun, the world was beautiful and great to explore, the story was well told, and the characters were interesting and likable.

It looks great, but there's nothing else I want on VR, and I wouldn't buy VR purely for this game.

@TheLightSpirit Haha, if it's anything like the first game, I am.

@TheLightSpirit I got Will of the Wisps for Xmas on Switch. I can't wait to play it after I replay the first game now that I have that on Switch.

Doom Eternal has a kickass metal soundtrack, and Ghostrunner has some really cool synthwave stuff for people that are interested.

21, happy with that.

Merry christmas guys, have a great day!

@wiiware I wouldn't say Japan Studio make small games, Gravity Rush 2 was a pretty long game and has lots of content. I think the main issue is Sony's lack of marketing for those types of games. I remember E3 2016, COD IW had a 10 minute segment for Sony's conference whereas GR2 (Sony's own first party game) had a 2 minute trailer relegated to the pre show. Even pundits/youtubers that focused on Playstation never seemed to acknowledge the game's existence.

I get that Sony don't want to invest millions in a marketing campaign for games that aren't likely to sell well, but they really should utilise things like the PS Blog and conferences more, things were they've already invested money, so don't risk much by using those spaces to advertise other games.

But yeah I really wish Ape Escape and Puppeteer would get new games.
