Looks like black suits from EA visited them again...

Alone in the Dark (1992) is way older than Resident Evil (1996) so I don't understand that constant comparison.

However... Back to this remake or reboot or whatever you call it. Yes, it is sad, lots of people loose job, but on the other hand look at reviews. Lots of technical flaws on release. Isn't that sign people simply have enough of unfinished games on release??? Yes, there will always be idiots who buy day one or even pre-order in this dark ages of incompleteness. But lots of customers just wait, because they want something unbroken for their money.

This is fault on both sides.
Embracer shouldn't make resumes on basis of few months if they know product is broken.
Pieces simply shouldn't release broken game.

Platinum trophy should be granted to those, who completed game and everything it contains.

Because FtP and GaaSes don't have whole content available in game from beginning, they shouldn't have Platinum.

Also developers don't understand how it works and rather than making trophies about exploration, collections and completions, they rather make trophies about meaningless grinding and repeating.

@B0udoir I'm singleplayerist so I never think about invitations (I don't like actual people play my game). Yes DS is "not so" open world and it sometimes feels frustrating to repeat location from last waypoint, but on the other hand you can more predict action of enemy and simply avoid hits. Enemies also almost don't have thrust attacks, where they jump to your face from long distance in blink of an eye. ER gives me constant feel that enemies have unnatural accuracy and swiftness which makes me feel hugely underpowered. Not as much as in Bloodbourne, but still a lot. Of course talking about ordinary enemies. Bosses I've met (in ER) were all one-two hit killers with so long attacks or collateral damage that it is even not possible to get close enough to hit them.

@Logonogo I've noticed it more than in other games and it is uncomfortable for me.

@DennisReynolds Of course I avoid one-hit killers. My problem is I cannot use to the fact I need about 5 meters more around my character to not get hit. And on level 30 I still feel like level 1 character.

@L_Bosch Yes, I have it on my mind. Still I feel hitbox of my character is 5x larger than person. Demon Souls (PS3) had much more precise hitboxes.

@DennisReynolds If you get hit by bear swinged paw that is visually about 5 meters away (paw itself, not bear) or by giant's club that lands visibly 3 meters away, it doesn't seems fair to me.

I'll try that game for the third time someday, but I fear it ends a few hours later again. I still cannot help myself, contrary Demon's Souls, this game is heavily unfair.

Finally.... someone used one brain cell and stepped out of the nonsense box "must be soulslike" that eradicated classic action RPGs.

Another level of robbery. And as long as extremly stupid customers buy it, this becomes standard and gamers will be considered more stupid.

@chesheer Ohh I see... The closest to CoD I have ever played is Wolfenstein. Otherwise I love rather unreal shooters, like Unreal, Quake, Doom and so on...

I can clearly see that 50 years old "Ivan" in smoked closet with three CRT monitors around and phoning to boss with cigarette in mouth: "Yes boss, I almost have it. Working on it all clock around. I have PS2 working version... What??? PS5??? What year it is??? 2020 or what??? ..."

@chesheer I was thinking hardly, where I've seen it... 🤣🤣🤣 Must go and play Tiberian Sun...

BTW that Xdeviant something still didn't died???

Personaly I hate all game add-ons.
It should be implemented in game from day one or released as standalone or sequel.

Also I absolutely don't care any news of existing games. I would also make all updates optional, because most of time they screw whole game (for example Diablo 4 v1.02 and higher).

They are whining game sales drops, but on the other hand they are inventing tools to keep players in game and NOT buying another game. And still poking into game mechanics until game feels flat and unfunny.

@Bagwag82 So stay connected to your matrix capsule. But most people just don't like it.

Streaming textures HAHAHAAA I don"t eat their lies...

Perfect. Even if I'm 130 hours in and still cannot get proper combination of jokers to get to ante 12, this is game you need to have on shelf. I didn't play something more addictive since Hades.

So they came up to thing that selling more games makes more money???

I'm glad for DOOM, because it is only true gory shooter of all times.

Someone is making singleplayer fps??? Did someone understood what world desperately need??? Yes, there is issue with that co-op mode, so game will be heavily unbalanced, but still...

I think it is because of LEGO decision, not Sony's.

@FPSfan1337 Haptic feedback is the most overrated feature in all gaming history.

@NEStalgia Nice one. 🤣🤣🤣

At least I managed to get Balatro few weeks ago...

Aaaaaand this game will also include one huge 0 interest from me! 😀

Anyway...

Can PushSquare make poll where we can tip when servers will shut down???

@dskatter I bought maybe 10 PS5 games and 8 of them was a junk. I had a really bad hand or there is something wrong...

@dskatter I can say if I stay to PS4 nothing major would be different.

I rather say "another nail to coffin".

We are getting 35 years back, where you payed for any life (credit) on gaming machines ...except you didn't have to pay for machine itself.

It is classic situation. Whole PS5 is huge letdown and false advertisement. So I wonder this still bothers someone...

Anything you place on internet is immediately public, no matter how private you think it is. Always keep in mind this when placing any content on internet.

I love original so much to willing play ten times re-done something.

I still have in mind FF7R... great game but definitely NOT Final Fantasy 7.

Size doesn't matter, quality matters!

...but Helldivers is bughunt fun that can be played singleplayer. This Concord is just 1000000th copy of Unreal Tournament...

Didn't see, so cannot judge.
But it looks like I was right in some way - Sony, after GaaS strategy has imploded, have almost nothing in cooking pot.

Anyway I don't understand that mania around Astrobot. Mine experience was I tried to play it on PS4, but in a few seconds it forces me to connect PS camera which I don't own so I was stuck and really don't want to buy camera just because one game.

At least Streets of Rage 4... been waiting for that for years...

I smell "AAAA game".

It is logical step. M$ wants money and they would be stupid to lock themselves out of quite huge chunk of marketplace.

OK... here is my AI generated money for your hard work...

Every dev is complaining about toxic community. But none of them gave players tool " Ban this player for me."

It is sad to see how IQ decreases among players. It brings up another level for statement: Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Why don't you make poll on this?

I wote for The Last of Us Remastered Remaster of Remastering Remasters (The Last Remaster of Us - or another "fun" name)

There will be nothing happening soon, because Sony has nothing in works. (yes, except those dead on arrival GaaSes.)

Who cares MP... How about that single player campaign???

Please Sony, i need another month full of huge discounts on Lady In Leopard Costume With Gun and all other similar ...ehm... games!

Excuse me, it worked at some point??? I was thinking it is some random digit... ?

Sony's (almost non-existing) marketing is pretty bad. Yes, they expected to swim in pool of money right now, but as soon as their GaaS "all-in" started to pop, like baloons on cactus party, Sony realised they have NOTHING in cooking pot. And that is scary!

If you look at it with pure logic, PS2, PS3 and PS4 era was golden for gamers. Constant flow of new cca 40 hours long games was making constant income.

Put aside that "false flu hysteria" where people were clearing backlogs, Sony made two huge missteps.
First was absolutely maniacally rushed PS5 release. Unfinished system (still is) and shortage of production.
Second was absolute lack of PS5 games on release.

But it didn't stop there. They bet everything on "Syren's call" of GaaS and - the worst aquisition in gaming history - Bungie.

Result is surprisingly drastic. They ended up empty handed. Half GaaSes scraped, rest GaaSes attract minimum interest, Wolverine is lost somewhere in process, BG3 DD2 HellDivers 2 Stellar Blade already out, and now what ...? London studio closure... I think they are burning in their own hell right now and it will require LOTS of fast and hard work to get out of it.

But I'm affraid, with Sony's lack of fast acting, we are spectators of one huge catastrophe.

Looks like chase for GaaS start to kill studios. How about rename it as Blood Money Games ???

@MattBoothDev I've lend mine to a friend, but forgotten which one... 🤦

@MattBoothDev Still cheaper than new (working) PS2 machine.
