Capcom has been knocking it out of the park, so trust in them to take the time they need. Also, maybe this is the game that will finally prove they are humans and capable of messing up, and not game-making super-machines from planet Capcomia? (Lots of) time will tell…

Finished the Lies of P demo last night, thoroughly enjoyed it. Fun gameplay, great artistic direction, and solid performance on PS5. Will be buying the full game come September!!

Too late—I cringed so hard I broke my face

Really enjoying the demo so far. Definitely borrowing a lot of systems from FromSoftware games (bonfires from Dark Souls, health regain from Bloodborne, tool arm from Sekiro), but doing it in a way that feels purposeful, and not just copying them for the sake of it. I’m loving the Pinnochio story reimagining as well; the atmosphere and artistic direction are interesting. Haven’t finished the demo yet, but it’s been a fun journey so far. I was hesitant from just watching the trailers, but I’m convinced after actually playing the game. Maybe not a day one, but definitely will buy and enjoy it at some point soon after release!

FFVII Rebirth gameplay for the win . Definitely more exciting for me than that PS Showcase…
Wished we’d seen some Death Stranding 2 though!

Looks amazing! Can’t F-ing wait!! The environments, the combat, the EVERYTHING!!! Had to turn the trailer off when my boy Sephiroth came on—it’s media blackout for me from this point forward!

Looks identical to MK11. This one will be a pass for me…

@Uncharted2007 That’s awesome! I grew up loving the games, cartoon, and especially the movies, but never got into the comics. They’re such a unique take on super heroes. Enjoy the DLC!

This was already a no for me, but with each video I’m even more convinced that this is not the Final Fantasy I’m looking for. I’ll stick with FromSoftware and Team Ninja for my action RPGs, thanks. Wake me when Rebirth is ready…

@Uncharted2007 You really know your Turtles!

Say “new characterS”, so I wonder who else besides Usagi is yet to be revealed…

Very cool! Would love to watch this. I know Kojima is definitely a “love him or hate him” kind of game director, but I am firmly in the camp of “love him”!
Excited to see this! 🤩

Perhaps more indirect AI control, like the gambit system in Final Fantasy XII…?

Absolutely CANNOT wait for this game!!! Zero interest in XVI from me—THIS is the Final Fantasy that I am excited for! Can’t wait to see what unexpected twists and turns await us when revisiting these iconic characters. And this new info about freedom bodes very well for this particular fantasy 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Persons 5 Tactics…?

Where can I answer, “None of these”?
Oh… Right here!

Great! Now I just wish it wasn’t “always online” and required PS+ to play. I just want to do single player and enjoy the game at my own leisurely pace… sigh… Thanks for listening to me complain… 😵‍💫

@arsmolinarc Which I do believe they stated is their plan! 🤞🏼🤞🏼

I have high hopes for this Silent Hill 2 remake, and hope that Bloober is given the time they need to make the best game they possibly can. I enjoyed The Medium, despite its flaws, and definitely see growth there in their game development.

Konami, please show love, support, and patience to Bloober team while they craft their remake of one of the most beloved horror tales of all time.

This is not good news. Leave Naughty Dog the sh*t alone and let them work their magic. Bungie has no business telling them what to do. Sony is digging their own grave.

Thanks for the heads up about the demo—downloading now! 💀🎃

If J.R.R Tolkien himself were to rise from his grave and command me to play this game, I still would not.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is genuinely exciting! Other than that, nothing grabbed me. MGS stuff is great, but… Was really hoping for a look at Wolverine, and literally anything from Playstation Studios other than Spider Dude #3. Oopsy-daisy Sony…

edit: Phantom Blade Zero looks REAL GOOD 🔥

Definitely interested in Dragon’s Dogma 2–Capcom has been killing it lately.

MGS stuff is great, but nothing truly new.

Was really hoping for some Wolverine, as well as way more first party stuff.

Overall a bit disappointing… It’s backlog-thirty

I’ve committed myself to finally finishing BotW before TotK (and I have a WAYS to go)… Am I crazy??? Hard to see that Tears copy unopened on my shelf, beckoning me! lol

Also need to finish Resident Evil 4 (Remake) and Dead Space (Remake). And Elden Ring…

Sensing a theme here…

I won’t buy one based solely on principle. Generally speaking, I feel like what was promised on the base PS5 has not been delivered.

@KundaliniRising333 I 100% agree with you. I love FromSoftware, and have also played their games across generations. But man, they need to get with the program on that old AF game engine, technical problems, and workplace issues. Sekiro ran okay (esp. on PS5), but Elden Ring was so, so disappointing, performance-wise. The open world finally broke that engine and revealed ALL the cracks. Such a great game, but hard to play sometimes…
I REALLY hope that AC VI: Fires of Rubicon breaks this mold!!

So glad I waited on this one. 3 - 4 months from now it’ll probably play like a dream

I think I’m going to pass this time around. I enjoyed 11 a lot, but nothing in this trailer feels like a “must play” so far. I’m definitely interested to see gameplay, but this looks like the same old Mortal Kombat with the same old characters. A bit disappointing, honestly…

“Son of God of War”

Really rolls off the tongue

Kojima—please send me a PS3, mine is broken

I just want to play as Venom. That seems pretty unlikely though, since the game is called “Spider-Man”…

New character pack inbound!! Right?!
FINISH THEM!! 🔥

I’m not buying this game because it requires PS Plus to play, even single player. So stupid, and so disappointing…

@Jtheripper Bummer!!!!

Has anyone tried Bloodborne yet?!!
🤞🏼🤞🏼

If it looks too good to be true, it probably is…

Definitely ready for their next game. Returnal is one of my all-time favorites. Felt like the closest thing to third-person Metroid we’re ever going to get. So much joy (and sweet, sweet pain) playing that game! You got this, Housemarque!

I bought a Pro in generation 4, but definitely not this time. Seems like this would be a bad look for Sony, too, given that 5s are just now becoming more available, and they’re selling so well. So many people finally upgrading to a 5, only for a Pro model to launch next year? I’m not sure I believe it… And if it does happen, no thanks, Sony.

The Force is weak with this one, apparently…

Excellent review! I’ve been wondering about this game; glad to hear that it’s worth checking out. I really appreciate when games can tackle these challenging emotional themes while also employing a satisfying gameplay loop (e.g., Celeste, Omori). Adding to my wishlist! ☑️

Adding it to that ENORMOUS backlog! 🤪

I’ve let my PS Plus subscription expire last year, after purchasing 2 years worth when I bought my PS5 at launch, and I don’t miss it one bit. Like Sammy says, there is no time to play all those games! Yes, I have a huge backlog of physical games to play (unopened, even), but those games aren’t going to disappear when I stop paying for a subscription, so I can at least get to them eventually. At this point, I have zero interest in a subscription service. It will certainly work for some folks, and others, like me, can enjoy their one off purchases. There is definitely room for both!

I’m just so happy to see AC VI coming out finally. I was obsessed with those games in my teen years.
But it’s exciting that they have different teams working on different projects, and hopefully they’ll continue to experiment and push themselves, artistically speaking.

@KundaliniRising333 Somehow I missed King’s Field, but sounds like you loved it? Seems like a nobrainer to release a new one with the power of the PSVR2, yeah? And someone get From signed up to use the Decima engine already!

Looks absolutely amazing! God, I feel like I’ve been waiting for this game to come out for so long, can’t believe we’re finally getting a new Armored Core! Definitely spotted some cool new mecha designs in there too. The whole vibe of this trailer gives off some souls-atmosphere vibes as well. Even though they aren’t changing the AC formula, they’ve obviously learned a lot and grown from an artistic standpoint. August 25 can’t come soon enough!!!

Classic Reptilian, am’I right?! 🤪

@Darude84 This exactly. Neil Blomkamp is a phenomenal director. Tbh I’m so sad that after almost getting to make an Alien film, THIS is what he gets to do next… ugh. I’m sure it will be solid though.
CHAPPiE forever!! 🤖

Wo Long was fantastic, enjoyed every second of it

Game was ‘softly’ announced quite a while ago, so this wouldn’t surprise me at all. I’m sure From wants to keep their momentum going after the success of Elden Ring.
Absolutely. Cannot. Wait!

One of the best games of all time! Truly iconic characters and story, and an amazing (and sometimes terrifying) world to explore. 10/10 for me. 🏆
