That's pretty good. Alan Wake has been on my wishlist for a while (and I've only not bought it because I lacked time to play it) and I've always enjoyed CoD campaigns but I don't play them enough to justify a purchase.

7 Remake's sales was 3.5m in 3 days (although I'd argue the number of days has lower significance) so I guess 3m is pretty good too
I'm sure it's below SE's expectations though

@atthegates That's a full year on the service - not sure if that qualifies as "already"
Either way, everyone should check it out while they have the chance.

Unsurprisingly, this is very good

Yeah I've definitely never heard of any of them but they seem like a nice bunch

I didn't even know you could still play the old one, ngl

@Fiendish-Beaver War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybrertron were both very good.
Rise of the Dark Spark which attempted to tie the same formula to the movies - not so much.

I'd definitely play one of those HD-2D versions of this!

I probably won’t play it but I love the idea and aesthetic lol

My CE is confirmed to arrive tomorrow
Looking forward to spending about 30 minutes with it while I'm still busy with some projects

@Triumph741 Not saying I've seen anything myself but many of these upcoming games had closed doors demos during Summer Game Fest

@Shepherd_Tallon I'm doing the same thing although it's still in another country and probably won't arrive before Thursday (although I suppose it's still possible that it will be here tomorrow).

That said, I just landed a very exciting gig with a very short deadline so I won't be playing it much either!

That's... interesting. Probably connected to new console sales? Which, maybe, could be connected to the FF release?

@Kidfunkadelic83 the interwebs seem to believe it's tomorrow

I might need some kind of therapy but I just pre-ordered this

I thought this was the most fun looking VR game in the showcase. Not sure about getting it day 1 but I’m definitely interested.

I signed up but I haven't been selected for any closed beta ever so I'm not keeping my hopes up

This just got even better. I’m definitely adding Talos Principle to my list.

Some of these were on my wishlist so I'm happy

@BeerIsAwesome That's my point. The announcement embargo prevents Sony from doing the same thing (not that I think they would).

@CKFilms I think it simply helps create a stronger impression that Xbox is where you’d be playing these (although in this case it was kinda invalidated by the leaks).
Also apparently multiplatform games in a platform showcase don’t count so the impression is better if you can’t immediately confirm it

@Darude84 I imagine the combat evolves as the game goes on (I haven't tried the "eikonic challenge" that's available after finishing the demo yet) but in this early section it's very much closer to an RPG than a pure action game.
It does reward a well timed use of the dodge button though.

Welp, at least now we have an idea what the game is (and it looks pretty good). Too bad it's not coming anytime soon.

Looking forward to playing it later tonight.

@BusyOlf it's 18.6 gb

Interestingly, in Poland the price is lower (99 PLN, which is about 23€) on all platforms... except PlayStation.

Edit: apparently it was an error that has now been fixed and the 99 PLN regional price now includes the PS Store.

I have played Diablo 1 and 2 enough to know it’s not for me. My brother probably spent several millions of hours on it though.

I do wonder if Pragmata is even still a thing

Welp, it looks cool but for now this is simply not a consumer device.

@The_ghostmen
They even specifically mention DualSense and DS Edge support on the web page. No other controllers are mentioned.

So it has a story recap before you start

I imagine the digital-to-physical ratio is higher than usual for fighting games. I know I'd only get one digital, whereas I get most single player games on discs.

I'd get it if I wasn't so invested in Guilty Gear, which I simply enjoy more. I'll probably still get it down the line, game looks good.

@Uncharted2007 Probably early '24, yeah. I believe that's what most people assumed from the original announcement anyway.

@Gaia093 yeah, I think there was usually a Black Friday deal, so I think I'll hold off as well

Not too surprising. The 1st rollback beta didn't go very well from what I've seen.

@NEStalgia I haven't played BS yet either but the main difference seems to be that rather than hitting the notes directly with your hands, you wield virtual blades which means more work for your wrists but less arm swinging.
This also seems to allow for higher note density on the maps.
Other than that, the music library seems way more varied (although I will say I don't mind Synth Riders' focus on synthwave and adjacent genres as the selection is simply very good)

@Zeke68 I'm pretty sure that's a 7 because of that, not despite it. The PC version has a 93 metascore.

I'm definitely getting this but I'll probably wait for a patch

@Toilet_Goat A true Scorpion main, I see

The Twitter drama this started is extremely funny to me
Fighting games need a wire connection to be played at high level where literally a single frame might decide the outcome of a match.
Now, obviously not everyone is interested in playing at that level and not everyone can use a wired connection for various reasons. Now some of them apparently feel attacked and discriminated against by this addition as if they won’t be able to play it - someone even apparently cancelled their pre-order.
Guess what - this game is going to be extremely popular and most people won’t care about this at all. You will get dodged by some but you will still have no problems finding games.

(I realize this is just a small loud minority but it’s still amusing)

@rachetmarvel I guess they do both.
Down the line there will most likely be a complete edition with all the DLC, cheaper than getting the game and season pass(es) now.
But that's pretty much all games, isn't it.

I liked the aesthetic, I probably won't play it unless it's PS+ though

After somewhat lacking in shooters at launch, now it almost feels like there are too many

This was my favorite new reveal of the showcase Loved the first one (it was also the last game I played on PS4)

I liked the 1st one as a mobile game. I should probably play the sequel too.

I definitely liked the look of this. It seemed liked it was maybe based on repeating the same level until you find an optimal route that lets you finish it in time? That was my impression anyway (and I think I like the idea).

This was one of the best trailers tonight.
I guess I need to play the first one.

@SilenceCZ @BeardtasticYogi Now it's showing up but can only be wishlisted despite saying it released in 2018, lol
I guess I'll just get it tomorrow when they sort it out

Except it's not. Can't find it in the store yet.
Or maybe it's just the store bugging because it should at least find the PS4 version...

My initial impression was that I expected more big things from Sony. That said, just based on this, I'll have enough exciting games to play for the rest of the year so it can't have been that bad!
Biggest surprise was Ghostrunner 2, loved the first one.
PSVR 2 games are starting to look really good too.
Also, brb, downloading Beat Saber.

@Danloaded I haven't played it but I'd probably get it at that price. It seems like an ok game at least, combat in the demo could be made fun if you wanted to, and I hear they fixed some of the problems with visuals and performance since launch.
