They've either released or revealed this year HellDivers 2, Astro Bot, Lego Horizon, Concord (although a disaster), Death Stranding 2, Stellar Blade, Rise of the Ronin, Ghost of Yotei and the Horizon Remake. Throw in the third party timed deals like Silent Hill 2 and FF7 ReBirth then I wouldn't exactly say they haven't shown anything this year or not kept their fans busy.

Next year should hopefully be better in terms of the big first party games and we should see some Wolverine and Marathon gameplay plus the release of Death Stranding 2 and Ghost of Yotei. But I can already tell all of that will be overshadowed by the negativity towards Fairgame$ (if it releases).

It's up there with Halo Infinite, Cyberpunk 2077 (first year) and that Lord of the Rings series from Amazon.

Ah yes because Sony are the only ones not allowed to make live service games 🙃.

@Toot1st Those who were under the assumption Call of Duty going to gamepass would hurt Playstations sales, pretty sure Sony themselves raised that concern during the court proceedings as well.

I knew playstation players weren't going to switch consoles, it makes no sense in buying another console just to play a game in a subscription that will cost over £130 per year. This will probably only effect those who own both consoles to begin with.

Sony were paying for a marketing deal that they didn't need, so hopefully that money is now going to their own studios or other publishing deals like Stellar Blade and Rise of the Ronin.

When Starfield got made into an Xbox exclusive the xbox fanboys rhetoric was that if you want to play it then buy an xbox.

So right back at ya, you want to play HellDivers 2 then go buy a Playstation 5 and stop whinging.

Typical ABK, this is why I stopped playing any of their games a long time ago, they are turning everything into MTX riddled cash grabs and now resulting to this Bulls**t.

Damn this Remake looks mighty impressive, and for £10 too. I will definitely be getting this but maybe not on day one as there's so many games I need to get done first.

Are you trying to have sex with me?

Whoever that is must be bad at it 😂

Just goes to show that the majority aren't interested in the smaller budget games, plus who wants to buy Ubisoft games at full price when they have huge discounts a month or two after release, plus they have a subscription service where new games get added day one.

There's a few games missing for me, Atelier Yumia, Phantom Brave, Fate Extra Record and Trails in the Sky Remake. Plus Monster Hunter Wilds, Expedition 33, Ghost of Yotei and Borderlands 4 is making next year very promising so far.

@get2sammyb To me, it seems a little different to other LEGO games; much more focused on gameplay than collectibles and unlockable areas.

This is all I needed to know to get me buy this, I've tried lego games before but all the collecting and re doing levels to unlock certain areas got tiresome and I ending giving up. This sounds like it will be the first ever lego game I complete.

@naruball Most of the negativity is coming from either Playstation haters who hate to see Sony make successful games or Marvel Haters who would rather Insonmiac make something else.

But as you say the facts are there that this game is a Metacritic "must play" with a 90 rating and a user score of 8.8, there's no hiding the fact the majority enjoyed this game and rate it highly.

Spider-Man 2 is one of the most disappointing games in recent history

90 metacritic rating, 8.8 user score and multiple game of the year awards and nominations say otherwise.

These are either some entitled salty gamers or just trolls.

I think the physical to digital ratio on brand new releases during launch week are much closer, and thats why physical is going nowhere anytime soon. These high digital figures are inflated by the amount of playstation store sales on older games.

It's a 9/10 so far from me, the only negative is the graphics.

Oh look yet another Souls Like 😑

That Metaphor marketing deal really helped shift some Xbox consoles.....😏

Seriously though Atlus should start putting their games on the Switch day one.

For me personally Japanese games have never been better and are keeping the industry going (that also includes Nintendo).

Enjoyed that, I'm going to try and get more into the series next year. I've completed Trails of Cold Steel 1 and 2, and I'm now currently on chapter 5 of Daybreak and I've liked what I've played so far. So next year I will get Daybreak 2 and then move onto Cost Steel 3 and 4.

Also hyped for the Trails in the Sky Remake, be nice to see how this series began.

@LavenderShroud I wouldn't even say they are in the top 5 in just Japan. Sega, Capcom, Square Enix, Nintendo and Konami are higher, I'd even throw Koei Tecmo in front of them.

There's Death Note games on the DS, so I would wager it could be a remake of those.

@Nem Hasbro had nothing to do with the game, Sony are the sole publisher and the IP owner so I'd wager they are taking a nice big percent of the sales. Even at 20/30% of sales thats still £100-£150 in their pocket.

Such an amazing game and great to know it's sold very well, hopefully this greenlights a sequel or even some DLC.

Concord aside it's been a great year for Playstation, and for me Astro Bot has been the highlight.

PS5 May Soon Be Even More Unchallenged by Xbox in Some Regions

There, fixed it for you.

It's a great game so far and I can see myself loving this game more than Persona especially as I'm a fan of Isekai/Fantasy settings. Hopefully Atlus don't trying and money grab this by releasing an upgraded version next year.

Just got back from work to find my copy waiting for me, so that's me sorted for this weekend. Also that trailer they released yesterday was superb.

Great month, quite a few games I want to play but mainly Dead Island 2 and Return to Monkey Island.

Is this a feature that can be turned off? Or atleast remove everything so it's the just the background fully on show?

@Yousef- Yeah he's the one lol, surprised he hasn't commented yet.

It was a good game but I wish Evolution Studios just stuck with the Motorstorm series, Driveclub and OnRush were their downfall.

Now if this was VR compatible I could play without the misses knowing 😅.

Another family friendly game for a certain someone.

Has the game recieved any substantial updates since launch? Any new maps, modes or characters?

Those negatives bring the score down lower than that for me, but even a 7/10 or 8/10 is still decent and my pre order is being kept.

Just saw it has a metacritic of 94 as well which is possibly Atlus best ever game score wise.

It's just a matter of time.

No Stellar Blade is quite criminal, also Metaphor Re Fantazio getting nominated yet it's not even out yet....

Can't see anything getting in between ReBirth and Astro Bot for the main prize though.

Being a Playstation console exclusive probably has something to do with it.

I must be the rare one who actually likes their games, especially the Far Cry and Watch Dogs games, but also really enjoyed Immortals Fenyx Rising and both Mario Rabbids games.

@DennisReynolds it's not even on gamepass, so they are paying to market a game that hardly any xbox players will be playing.

I'm sure Atlus will learn their lesson if this game flops sales wise, will soon come running back to Sony for their next big game.

If there's a sequel planned then the remake makes more sense.

I have a Demon Slayer vinyl on my PS5 plates so I won't be getting any of these, but those controllers I definitely want. Il probably get the Chroma Indigo one first.

I'm still getting Metafor Re Fantazio day one (Pre ordered), but for some reason the demo didn't wow me, I don't know if it's the visuals or the story pacing but it didn't click with me. Hopefully putting more hours into the full game changes that.

Silent Hill 2 getting good reviews has made me want to get it sooner, originally planned on getting it for Halloween as the misses likes having that day full of horror movies and me playing horror games.

I just don't think there's room for three main consoles on the market, Nintendo and Sony have history and will always be an household staple for kids, casuals and hard-core gamers. Xbox are always playing catch up and don't have enough brand loyalty yet, especially now that they are releasing games on Playstation, and also Phones via Cloud.

Also they have very poor sales in Asian countries, so niche games from those regions will skip its platform.

Well that's what happens when you put your games day one on a subscription service....

Also as people know well by now, ubisoft games go dirt cheap in sales after a few months.

@Shad361 Of course they sold well, nearly every first party game on Switch has sold well, but I was specifically picking out single-player games that have sold high amounts as a counter point to his comment. Single Player games still sell well if they are done right and are actually good games.

really big games where they can play with their friends

Didn't know Wu Kong, Zelda BoTW, Hogwarts Legacy, God of War Ragnarok and Spider Man 2 and had multiplayer.

Yet they all sold incredibly well and are all single player only games.

Things like this just happen every now and then with everyone, from Microsoft to banks and even mobile network providers.

Aslong as it gets fixed quickly I won't let it bother me.

It will start nice and cosy until the grind for currency/resources kicks in, it's the same with any gacha game.
