This is great news. I am cautiously optimistic about this game. If the demo is good, I will definitely get it

@Texan_Survivor I don't think they were deceiving people with any of the trailers for TLoU 2. They were trying to preserve the plot. Other games have done the same thing with trailers, and movies do it all the time too. The character you are talking about, may not have been playable in the game, but still had a huge prescence. The whole plot revolved around his actions. Everything that happens in the sequel, were set in motion by him.

I would buy this as soon as it was made available in the US. I played this game several times after it was first released. Now if I could also just get my Soul Reaver fix!

Utterly brilliant.

I bought the PS4 version to save $10 on the PS5 upgrade, but Sony is making it very difficult. There is currently not an option to claim the upgrade. Apparently you can't do it before launch. I was hoping to playing at midnight, but I guess I have to hope I can find the upgrade and wait for it to download.

The only game on this list I have played is Returnal, and I could not agree more. It is certainly my game of the year. It was a stand-out in a year full of too many games. I'm thinking about picking up F.I.S.T. since it is finally on sale. I've had my eye on it for a bit now.

@GorosBat I think context is key. When that game originally came out, there really hadn't ever been anything else like it. It doesn't seem like it now, but it was definitely innovative for its time. I think it still deserves to thought of as a game that pushed the medium forward.

@WallyWest I really enjoyed 7, but I played the entire game in VR. Without VR, the novelty of playing an RE game in first person wore off really fast. The Village controls and gunplay were clunky, and I just didn't enjoy the goofy story at all.

I know it is probably in bad taste to complain, since a lot of people would love have any PS5, but I wish I had paid for one with a disc drive. Relying on PS to discount digital games sucks.

Resident Evil Village was trash. I cannot believe it is on this list over Returnal.

@Bdbrady What big releases did they show for this year though. That is why I underwhelmed. Pretty much everything they showed is either years away, or just not really interesting to me. I know covid has complicated production across the industry and release dates, but I was just hoping to see more stuff for the coming year.

I'm honestly not expecting much, but I would love some returnal DLC.

I don't mind paying $10 for an upgrade. My issue is not having the option from the get go. I think they could have avoided most of this outrage if the $10 upgrade was part of the initial announcement. But they instead tried to force people to either buy two copies of the same game, or pay $80 for a $60 game, without any idea when they can actually get their hands on a PS5.

I'm am pretty excited about this one. My only issue right now, is having to maintain relationships and explore stuff outside of combat. I really don't care about exploring the grounds, and watching a bunch of cut scenes to unlock abilities. That just feels like unnecessary filler. I would rather do that through the combat gameplay itself. Will just have to see how it all comes together.

This seems backwards to me? Wouldn't you potentially reach the most people by putting them on consoles, and then if there is interest, bringing them to PC and mobile? I just don't understand how Japanese companies are so out of touch.

@Flaming_Kaiser No, I honestly don't play many Ubisoft games. Even still this is kind of a different situation. When you pay $90 for a gold or premium edition of a game, you are assumedly getting more content than the base $60 or $70 version. In this situation, I will have paid $90 for the same amount of content as someone who is buying the game for thirst time for $70.

What irks me is that I already paid $60 for the PS4 version. Now I have to pay $30 to get the PS5 upgrade and extra contest. So, I'm paying $90 for everything, where people who buy it for the first time on PS5 only have to pay $70? No thanks.

I'm really tempted by Below and Kentucky Route Zero...

Im working on getting the platinum just because in not ready to be done yet. I've put a little over 40 hours into it. Just have to grind out the survey trophies to get the platinum now.

Any word on whether or not they fixed trophies unlocking? I haven't had any issues with the game other than being worried my survey trophies aren't unlocking. I'm trying to get the plat, and even if they did fix it I don't know if there is any way I can get them to unlock again.

@TheFrenchiestFry I think they made those deals to make money, since they don't have a dedicated subscription based streaming service of their own.

This honestly just feels like a lazy way to add perceived value to ps+.

anyone have a weblink for the NA store?

I have a digital PS5 so yeah I'm going to keep buying games from the PS Store. I do wish they would make it easier to access older games though.

Been looking forward to this one. Hopefully I can make some time for it in the next couple of months.

I'm getting it day one. Can't wait to play it.

@Jayslow Honestly CDPR approached Witcher 3 the same way. It had some pretty bad bugs at launch. It took them a couple of months to iron everything out. Plus they ended up overhauling the the controls for Geralt and Roach, and changed up how the menus worked post-launch.

Sure, they aren't on the level of the other developers you mentioned, but they are definitely somewhat guilty of the same mentality.
