Focusing on man-made traps this time around instead of the usual monsters or the supernatural has sparked my interest.

That's looking fun, it's caught my interest.

Nice, I'd been wanting to try this out. As long as they don't mess up the remake, I'll give it a go.

That is a lot of inspiration they've taken.

Cuphead and Monster Hunter Rise. Both of them have just received big expansions, that I'm currently having a blast playing through.

And I'm still making my way through Persona 4 Golden, which I'm super enjoying.

This looks fun. Hopefully the minigames can capture the magic of the old arcade games that they're based on.

Even that $20 price seems a bit high due to all the grinding and microtransactions that are involved. I'm in no hurry to pick this up, but might give it a go once it goes on sale.

I had a lot of fun with Pac-Man World 2 back in the PS2 days, but never got to play the first one. So I'm quite excited for this remake.

I had an absolute blast with this game back when it was given away with PS Plus. But with the MTX changes along with how Epic delisted the Steam version, I'm reluctant to get back into it.

Yakuza Remastered Collection is 60% off. That'll keep me busy for a while.

Would be cool if they made it available on modern hardware. The game looks fun, and I'd be up for giving it a try.

4/15. The Simpsons one was the only one I knew for certain, and I didn't do well with the guesses.

Atlus doing their standard DLC practices. In that case, I might wait for the base game to be heavily discounted in a sale before getting it.

There was a heavy focus on the big shooter and horror games, which isn't the stuff I'm normally that interested in. So the event was fairly dull for me.

Studio Trigger can make some brilliant anime. I'm particularly fond of Kill la Kill and Little Witch Academia. This is something that I'll be sure to check out.

I'll definitely give the demo a try. Hope the game's great.

Wouldn't a literal face off involve tearing off the opponents face though?

It's a mix of games from me this weekend, as I'm playing The Stanley Parable, Bioshock 2, and Persona 4 Golden.

This certainly has my interest. Hope it turns out good.

Geoff's events never end up being as good as the hype, but that's quite some list. There's bound to be some great announcements featured.

So, decent enough and there's nothing majorly wrong with it, but there doesn't seem to be anything particularly amazing about it either. Still, I'd enjoy it, so I might pick it up at some point.

I appreciate the realism in the headline and not over-hyping the stream.

@MickOnYourFace I must have saw the battle pass mentioned on Nintendo Life. The twitter link at the bottom of this article leads to a humble page with a bit more info if you're interested.

Battle pass though. I'd like to see more monster catching games pop up instead of just Pokemon being the main notable game in this genre, but that battle pass makes me very reluctant to try out Temtem.

9/15, my best score yet on these quizzes.

That price seems oddly low. Embracer Group is a bit of a mystery to me, so I can't tell whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

6/15. I only knew two of them, but had some good guesses.

Subscription stacking had been acceptable for a long time, so it's not right to suddenly brush it off as a loophole.

It's a poor move on Sony's part. It wouldn't have been such an issue if they'd just announced this ahead of time.

I'm interested, but it depends on whether the controls are okay on PS4.

Those sorts of messy grids detailing the various editions and DLC make me hesitant to purchase this. Spending time trying to figure out the correct way to buy this is hassle.

I wonder how they can proceed with the story after the events of Portal 2, but the writers should be able to come up with something great. The recent Aperture Desk Job had something that would work well with Portal 3.

Might be a cool feature, but it's not an option that I'd ever use. For me, much of the appeal of these kinds of games is that it's your decisions that'll affect who lives and dies.

Glad to hear that this does a good job at scratching that Out Run itch.

Remember all those rumours saying the PS5 would be backwards compatible with PS1 and PS2? I'm not going to trust these kinds of rumours until there's an official announcement.

Slightly odd trailer, what with the panning shots without seeing the character move. But it does look very good. I've always got a soft spot for these kinds of old school 3D platformers, so I'm excited.

Very nice. I've been quite interested in trying out The Stanley Parable for a while now, so I'm looking forward to this newer version.

Might subscribe for a few months if the selection of downloadable PS2 classics is excellent. But mainly I'll stay unsubscribed.

Rivet is a cool name. A unique name like that helps give her her own identity.

"Classic games" is the interesting part for me. If that includes PS1 and PS2 being emulated without streaming, then that would be very exciting. However, I don't play online that often, and only very rarely have PS+, so it'll be hard to win me over.

It's exciting news. Hope it turns out great. Though after the whole Cyberpunk affair, I'll wait until after release before considering getting this.

That's great news. As it's WB, I was worried it would be full of microtransactions or go down the live service route. Instead, focusing on the single player experience was exactly what I wanted for this game.

That trailer was impressive. It's a strong single player experience, and basically everything I wanted for the game. As long as it runs fine on a PS4 and there's no major issues, I'll likely grab it soon after launch.

Maybe I misread the title, but I was expecting the article to be about technical issues with the PS4 version.

I spent a scarily long time in Yakuza 0 playing Out Run in the arcade. Slipstream gives off similar vibes, so I'm interested.

Looks good so far. I do like their games, but the price they're asking here is way too much. I'll pick it up when it's heavily discounted.

It would be interesting to hear from a technical standpoint why they're having to do this, though that's possibly not something they want to reveal.

I'm eager to see some gameplay. This has the potential to be a brilliant game, but there's plenty of ways they could screw it up.

Hit and Run was great. It was one of the first console games I ever played, so I have a lot of fond memories of it.

20 minutes is fairly short, but that could be a good thing. The past ones have had a tendency to drag on.

Brilliant reviews. The only thing stopping me from getting it right away is that I've never played a Souls-like game before. If I start with the latest and greatest, then that could make the others seem bad by comparison. So instead, I'm thinking about starting Dark Souls or something soon, then Elden Ring can be a bit further down the line.

With all the glowing reviews it's getting, I'm thinking it might be time for me to get into the Souls-like genre.
