American "democracy"

ANOTHER entry in the crowded strand genre? X.....D

Will Hideo, again, forget to add the 'fun' to this one? Hope not.
Will Hideo, again, have 'questionable' (cringe) female characters? Probably.

Tbh there's far better developers in Japan that deserve at least have the budget this over-rated autueur got for his last few games.

Good times. Back in the PSX era, between the japanese companies, you could only consider yourself a big player if you had a flagship (j)RPG: Square had Final Fantasy, Enix had Dragon Quest, Konami and Suikoden, and Capcom had their own in the Breath of Fire series. Atlus and the SMT-spinoff Persona.

I wish they relaunch Metal Gear and its a big success just to see the look on Kojima's face X...D

Still think Exoprimal was a missed opportunity to revive Dino Crisis. Capcom did my girl Regina dirty.

Anyone expect different from corrupt US govt? MS was even using its bought Redmond politicians to lobby in congress for this merger to happen. It was pretty much done once the european slaves approved it,

US govt is so bad this days it makes Donald "grab 'em by the p*ssy" Trump seem like a white knight coming to the rescue. X.....D

Reading the comment sections I see that the fart-fog is finally lifting and people are realizing how full of sh*t Kojima actually is.
#Konamiwasright

Ooooooh nooooo... anyway.

Keeping the CRPG alive.

Man, they really are taking their time but ngl it´s probably the PS5 exclusive I'm most excited about.

Not crazy about the mid-cycle console upgrade fad.

@Loftimus I think they just mean part 2 will be told in two seasons.

Good news as I felt season 1 felt a little rushed and could have used a couple for episodes at least.

@Niktaw lol not "sensitive", just calling it as I see it.

@BleedingDreamer This was my feeling upon watching the finale too. Imo a couple more episodes would have helped.

Lapdogs much? Not surprising given the EU lets the US "disable" their pipelines no questions asked.

Anyone thought the lapdogs would decide different? They took the nord stream bombing reveal like well-behaved slaves...

Whenever I see furries I get the urge to play Bloodborne.

@Ravix My takeaway too: Miquella was torrent's previous master.

You mad genius, Miyazaki. My body is ready.

Oh no, don't tell me we'll miss "generic fantasy live service".

Can't say I'm not dissapointed about it. I know IO can make whatever the hell they damn please but I can't help but feel their talents are better used elsewhere.

Hell, a Hitman live service tarkov-like would have been more interesting.

@thefourfoldroot1 Exactly what happened last gen: releasing on PS4 just made better business sense if you were a dev with a limited budget.

Baldur's Gate 3 announced for PS5 was the only saving grace

Tbh I've learned to not get hyped about State of Plays because it usually end in dissapointment.

Good so far, kinda lost some steam past couple of episodes, but you'll have to agree some "creative decisions" are just easy representation points, picking the low hanging fruit... its actually making the show kinda predictable, like I just just knew they race-swapped Maria before Tommy even revealed her identity. Like ok, Sarah is mixed now, all of the sudden, now Maria is bonafide Jada with a full set of hair for no reason.

It feels like they are just crossing off some kind of representation checklist.

Still, good show, but little details like these are distracting in the sense that you can't help but feel that they are unauthentic and just pandering to the crowd. Wouldn't expect any less from Neil Druckman tbh lol.

10/10 would JK Rowling again.

Man, I was cheering for this one to be at least a good 7/10.
Charm alone may turn this one into a cult classic, it's happened to stranger games (looking at you, Nier).

Please be a full 3D remake emulating the original artwork by Akihiko Yoshida.

@Grimwood EVERYTHING.

This man has surprassed Peter Molyneux as biggest hyperbolic smoke-seller of the industry.

I hope blowing your budget mocapping hollywood b-listers doesn't become a trend.

PS. Konami was right all along.

Sounds intriguing. I'm a sucker for 2D sidescrollers.

MS should just learn to make good games instead of buying studios for short-term returns and running them into the ground in the mid-to-long term as they've done for the last 20 years.

My poor Arkane studios...

Go full on yoshitaka amano acid-dream with the art style and I´ll be excited for chaos.

@Type_Trubbish me whenever I see a furry: https://img.ifunny.co/images/0e8073342935519271ec9e40ea6dfe2887f6927274d8c9fc2061a2b22694a488_1.jpg

Difference is Uncharted 4 closes off the series while tLoU:p2 sets up a third part.

Hopefully all this interest will reach critical mass just in time for the announcement of the now standalone Factions MP game.

Persona 3 is a masterpiece in tone and atmosphere but I won't be double-dipping. Won't reward Atlus for draggin their feet & milking the fanbase dry.

Not a bad deal at all.

Rez (vr)2 when?

Hmmm may have to finally give this one a try.

The Armored Core games of PS1 and PS2 are a missed opportunity with the announcement of AC6 by From.

A WipEout movie sounds like a way better idea than Gran Turismo. Wtf sony!

Let this be a reminder that we need a new WipEout for PS5/PSVR2.

Hope they remake it in the style of Let it Die. That blueprint had pontential worth following through.

I have high hopes for the next Factions.

Atlus could just remake P2, P3 and just take my money but all we get are low effort ports.

Strong month I guess. (Not a Star Wars fan but great win for those who are)

@Human_Tornado So true. Right now would be a perfect time to release the armored core games from ps1 and ps2.

Hope they don't forget to add the "fun" this time!

Seems to be a one-note game that plays said note very well. Yep, looks like ps2 comfort food.

edit spelling

Here goes my pesonal round up:

Death Stranding 2: Meh tbh. More curious if Kojima will change the playstyle. Keep the walking-sim extravaganza or lean more towards horror as he´s been recently implying? falling back to classic MGS gameplay? Only certainty is it will have cringe-worthy questionable moments that his fans will defend as "misunderstood", "quirkyness" or "social commentary".

Horizon FW Burning Shores: Would have loved to see gameplay. No opinion really, still haven't played Forbidden West but I had a lot of fun with Zero Dawn and its DLC and this is basically more of the same.

Judas: This one was a big surprise. I was just thinking the other day 'what ever happened to Ken Levine´s narrative legos concept?'
Looks very Bioshock-y but I'm more interested to know about the mechanics. Maybe something in the vein of Arkane's Prey: Mooncrash and Deathloop?
Very much looking forward to this one.

Armored Core VI: Game of the show right here.
New Armored Core by a Post-Souls From Software? SIGN ME UP.

Remnant II + Lords of the Fallen: Both of these looked pretty good and the original games had potential so I'm keeping my eye on these two.

Company of Heroes 3: This was a nice one because I very much wanted to play it but my potato laptop would have exploded if I tried to install it.

Space Marine 2: Not really a WH40K fan and didn't play the original game, but it looked like some nice visceral fun.

Hades 2: This one was a big surprise. Supergiant Games first sequel to their latest (and best). Very very looking forward to this one. (Ok, now: when the sequel to Transistor?!)

Final Fantasy XVI: It's looking insanely good. Not crazy about the j-pop/anime looks that plague every jrpg but the combat and enemy/creature design look superb.

Diablo IV: I should be more excited about this one. Going to need to hype myself up on youtube I guess.

Star Wars: Jedi Survivor: Not a Star Wars fan, won't get it. Now that we got that out of the way, it looked pretty good so for any fans this looks like a day one.

Suicide Squad: Another meh. You've done it, entertainment industry, you've milked Harley Quinn dry. Move along now.

Street Fighter VI + Tekken 8: As a superficial fighting fan both of these look like good fun.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty: Still a question mark for me. Will they add more RPG gameplay and fidelity to the open world or is it still more pretty-looking window dressing? The casting of Idris Elba makes me wary CDPR is leaning towards the latter.

Crash Team Rumble: Why not Crash Team Racing 2?

Hellboy Web of Wyrd: Big fan of the mignolaverse so I'm looking forward to seeing more of this one.

Atomic Heart: Looks like one of those quiet games that comes out of nowhere to become a sleeper hit.

Banishers: Need to see more to form an opinion. Looks interesting.

Underdogs? MS has had an unlimited budget to build up their first-party development and publishing arms and failed to do for almost 20 years.

The problem with MS has always been that they just buy studios and/or IP but don't nurture their growth. It's the reason franchises like Halo and Gears of War are shadows of their former selves.

@grapetrap Nah. Management decided to release anyway to please their investors.

It's goint to be a long uphill road until they can get any good will back from gamers.

This game could have been the successor to Deus Ex but even the 2000 original is more reactive. Damn, I miss the Denton bros.

It's going to be slow news days until December 8.
