I'm getting it day one, hoping it will still be fun, but yes game looks average in the graphics department, the explosions really stood out as they looked like 2 gens ago. Massive released Avatar and that looked great but the gameplay was very repetitive and unexciting so hoping outlaws will be the opposite
I had my eye on this game, but man that gameplay does not look good. We've all played this type of game before. And why are brutes always big bald guys in shirts?
The game doesn't make much sense, the fun part of lego based on franchises is playing and swapping out all your favorite characters, who are you going to play? Aloy? Erend? VArl? Sylens? Who else??
Anyway im just looking forward to a lego Thunderjaw set
Midori is extremely accurate, so maybe these will be at another event like Nintendo Direct as Square Enix is not a partner for this year's Summer Game Fest
Nintendo has DQIIIHD-2D, so I’m going to say PS will get FF Tactics remastered that was rumoured shown as the square Enix title. A release date for Lost Soul Aside and perhaps Convallaria, God of War Ragnarok PC, Until Dawn update, Concord update, Pragmata update and maybe silent hill 2. Indie wise Little Devil inside release date, and Judas release date, and for VR Half Life Alyx
Edit: of course Astro and Lego Horizon will be there too
Oh man, AAAA gaming is off to a bad start. Even on psnprofiles i had to travel a bit to find it, currently sitting at 438th place with 83 players, sheesh! As a comparison, while scrolling i saw other ubi games like Avatar, Crew Motorfest, AC mirage even Uno was higher. Currently SS KTJL is sitting at 142nd.
On a positive note, Xdefiant is at number 1 for them
I rewatched it recently, it wasn't a great show, lots of indies and already announced AAA titles, as well as some uninspiring first party CG trailers for live service games.
The state of play we had in January this year was great though, hopefully a sign of things to come, id love a blowout, even if the games are 2 years out. The June 2020 showcase set expectations for a couple of years and was backed up by another in September the same year. All the titles that were announced have come and gone (except vaporware Little Devil Inside and Pragmata) and i'd really like to see a picture painted of the next two years of Playstation 5.
Year 4-6 on Playstation 4 were its best years and a repeat would be most welcome
Don't understand why you wouldn't upgrade and enjoy PS5 games like GoW Ragnarok, Forbidden West and Miles Morales. They obviously don't believe in generations
Nah, just more the controls, 3d games designed to be controlled with the d pad just don't play well in this day and age hence why the psp titles have aged better
Awesome, its amazing how poorly PS1 games have aged, but the PSP titles released so far have been pretty good, so id imagine the PS2 should be good also
This isn't unique to the games industry, its happening in all industries, its quite scary and it must be in the 10s of millions of people that have been let go worldwide. Welcome to capitalism, it will take years for the world to recover
Back in 2020 showcase, seemed like they were all in again on cutesy platformers/games, ratchet and clank, stray, sackboy, astro, kena, oddworld, bugsnax etc...Unfortunately that was it, now we just seem to be in action RPG territory
I see more people upset about Hifi rush sequel online, but I'm sadder that we wont get a Prey 2, yeah it had its flaws but I loved playing through it. The opening sequence was awesome
Kind of funny that if we do get Starfield, this will be the only Bethesda title we would miss post acquisition, presuming that going forward a lot of their titles maybe multiplat
If I had to guess, gameplay reveal of Concord(maybe with a 2025 delay) Silent Hill 2 release date, Lost Soul Aside release date, Convallaria delay, Until Dawn Release date, Ghosts 2 reveal, Venom and SM2 dlc reveal, and I really hope we might get Cory Balrog's game finally revealed and Asobis next game
Western developers need to look at Japanese development, smaller teams, cheaper development costs(not trying to push the envelope in graphics) and very few layoffs but games with great gameplay and very few nickel and dime you. 2K, EA, Ubi, WB are all in shambles currently and it will take years for them to bounce back
This is probably Square Enixs best attempt at a live service (not including MMORPGs), but its probably going to join Babylons Fall, Outriders and Avengers in an eternal slumber
So Astrobot, Silent Hill 2, Concord, and Until Dawn Remake, potentially decent lineup. Couple exclusive indies and Lost Spul Aside could make for a strong year

Re: Xbox Games Are Selling Gangbusters on PS5
None of the games they’ve released so far are for me, but Forza Horizon would be very tempting, and maybe the Ori games

Re: Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 Expected to Release Around 2027, Says Square Enix
It's a shame, the ebola outbreak in 2026, and the mass world riots against the world governments in 2027 will see this delayed until 2029 earliest.
On a hopefully serious note, that's not a bad turnaround for what have been some massive games.
