@Mustoe I totally get that and it's a valid complaint, but the majority were moaning just about the PSN requirement even though they were from a supported county.
Pretty poor tbh, PlayStation SoP wasn't the best apart from revealing the game I want the most this year in Astro Bot, Summer Game Fest wasnt great either as it was primarily indies and not many reveals for games I'm interested in.
Ubisoft was OK for what was shown, Star Wars and Assassins Creed looked pretty good. Finally I'm not interested in Xbox games so most games shown in their showcase didn't wow me, plus the 6/7 live service games shown and quite a few cinematic trailers.
So yeah not the best "E3" period for me but here's hoping Nintendo save the day next week with a Beyond Good and Evil Remaster and Final Fantasy 9 Remake reveals.
@__jamiie Reasons vary by each person, for me it's not the Xbox games or the Xbox console as both look great, it's Microsoft and their business strategy that I don't like and do not want to give my money to help them (in my opinion) consolidate the market even more.
If they ever become just a Publisher then il probably buy their games.
I think it's amusing that a guy who's famous for his leaking info has now had his info leaked, hopefully this will act as a deterrent to future leakers, but I some how doubt it.
@Malaise It being a kids game isn't the problem for him as all he goes on about is kids games on NintendoLife, he hates violence of any kind (even pokemon) and so he's saying he doesn't want Lego Horizon as the IP is violent.
Basically they wanted their game to be popular amongst younger players so that when they grow up they may invest into Zero Dawn, Forbidden West and any future games, to me it's a sound strategy as Nintendo most likely has the youngest player base of all three consoles. Pretty sure that Lego games in general sell best on the Switch as well so it's a no brainer.
I think I best start saving, games I'm getting day one are going to be
Metaphor Re Fantazio
YS X Nordics
Visions of Mana
Spy X Anya
Astro Bot
Trails through Daybreak
Lego Horizon
Concord
Silent Hill 2
Dragon Age the Veilguard
Slitterhead
Reynatis
Black Myth Wukong
SMT Vengeance
Monster Hunter Stories
@belmont I think Trails through Daybreak and YS X Nordics have PS4 versions and the rest have PC versions apart from Astro Bot. But if you're a console only player then PS5 is looking packed this year.
Not much for me this month, but I'm happy to see Monster Hunter Rise as this means the player count will shoot up, so I will jump back in and hopefully complete the multiplayer part of the game.
Doesn't matter if Phil admitted Xbox started it does it, he still made the slimy reference about Playstation, so in his mind PlayStation are Slimy for the Call of Duty deal which is why it's hypocritical.
I liked the design of FF16, it keeps the story and action going at a steady pace and the maps weren't too big, so there was no tediousness to exploration.
In the UK we have the news tab, when we press the PlayStation button it's usually the first tab, that usually tells me when some games have updates or a DLC launched like with Destiny 2, Warframe and Tower of Fantasy as im constantly getting new articles based on those titles, as long as your following the game you should get articles based on that title.
That's a tough ask for some, I'm sure they will find something else to moan about instead.
I'm definitely looking forward to Astro Bot more but I will also pick up Lego Horizon day one and hopefully it will be my first Lego game that I complete.
Ah yes but not slimy when Microsoft did it with Call of Duty before, what an hypocrite.
Not slimy to get Tomb Raider one year exclusive, Titanfall 2 full exclusive, GTA 4 DLC timed exclusive, Dead Rising and Ryse full exclusive etc etc, yet Playstation are Slimy 😂, can't wait for this guy to retire.
@Deityjester I can't speak for everyone but when I had a Series S I really enjoyed state of decay 2, probably helped I was big into the walking dead at that point as well and no other game has come close to its likeness in terms of building a settlement, scavenging, recruiting people across the map and trading with other groups etc
Have to laugh at people calling out Playstation fans and people backing Sony on a Playstation website, yet it also does the opposite as the obvious Xbox trolls and Playstation haters have come out the woodwork in droves and its obvious to see who they are. If only these people could go to an actual Xbox website and celebrate this great showcase of theirs 🤔.
@S1ayeR74 Astro Bot, Concord, HellDivers 2, Spider Man 2, Returnal, Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, Horizon Forbidden West DLC, Demon Souls Remake and the TLOU remakes are all PS5 only
@naruball People have unrealistic expectations with Sony, they have what half the studios Microsoft has? Yet are expected to release the same amount of first party games 🤔, this is why it's good Sony get third party exclusives to fill in the gaps whilst their studios are hard at work.
This year we've had Rise of the Ronin, Stellar Blade, FF7 ReBirth and soon to be Silent Hill 2 Remake, then add titles like Until Dawn and TLOU 2 Remastered, HellDivers 2, Astro Bot, Concord and Lego Horizons which make this year pretty damn good for Playstation and has more exclusive games than Xbox and Nintendo this year. I Honestly don't get the hate, we eating good as they say
I wonder how certain people would act if Sony spent 70 billion on Ubisoft, Square Enix, Sega and Capcom and had a huge Showcase showing all their games, they wouldn't be singing Sony's praise il put it that way.
Well over half of the games shown are coming to Playstation, plus quite a few games were also shown/announced at last year's showcase and are still years away, so I'd rather Sony just show what's coming within 12/18 months than show stuff years away and showing it multiple times.
Also that Showcase consisted of three publishers (Bethesda alone showed 5 trailers), if you want Sony to have the same to show off then someone best give them 70 billion so they can buy multiple publishers, I'm sure it's easy to show off a lot of stuff when you're one of the biggest and richest companies on earth. Anyone asking Sony to match Microsofts output is asking for the impossible and as its asking Sony's studios to output multiple games at once.
Plus there was trailers for updates for 4 live service games included, if that was Sony they would be getting destroyed for that.
@anoyonmus For reference it was the 2022 xbox showcase where I changed my score from a 7 to an 8 (or a C to a B), I also edited my comment within a matter of minutes but certain people obsessed over my comments on PX, hence why I blocked him and 5 other members over the space of a week.

Re: Valorant Is Another Free PS5 FPS with a Rubbish Trophy List
@Smash41 it's a Riot account, not PSN so of course people won't have a problem with this. Things are only a problem when Sony do it.

Re: Talking Point: What PS5 Game Had the Best Showing Across All the Summer Gaming Events?
There wasn't many trailers that surprised me, but id say my top 3 were Astro Bot, Metaphor Re Fantazio and Expedition 33.
Id also like to include the Visions of Mana trailer although it wasn't shown off at any event.

I get you want to remain anonymous as a leaker but it's a bit extreme to also pretend to be a young female.
There's something called V-Tubers if he wants to do that s**t.

Don't worry Shawn most of us think the same.
Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard Is Very 'Mission-Based', Not Unlike Mass Effect

@Intr1n5ic Lol I was skimming through the first part of the names, I didn't know the game was called Clair Obscur.
Re: These Are All the Games from the Xbox Showcase Confirmed for PS5
Pretty sure there was more than that, I counted 17/18, plus Stalker 2 is only a timed exclusive.
I think I'm most looking forward to Expedition 33 from that list.
