The Portal is exactly what I wanted. I’d be interested in an updated version of that down the road. OLED screen, further reduced latency, improved connectivity, Edge-like upgrades for the controller, friggin’ bluetooth(!), improved battery life. I don’t have any interest in a dedicated handheld with its own games.
Would I love to have a more powerful PS5? Absolutely. But with such limited gaming time these days, it would be hard for me to justify the cost. Watch me buy one anyways though… 🙄☑️
This looks and sounds absolutely fantastic, and I think will be the Supermassive game that finally really grabs me. I love to hear that gameplay is more involved, and the shapeshifting alien storyline—while not totally original—should be a lot of fun to play through. This may be a day one for me!
I’m excited to play this down the road. The idea of having a lot more unique boss fights than your typical soulslike, and cutting down the number of enemies leading up sounds refreshing. As much as I love exploring and finding new weapons and gear, 75% of the time they don’t work for your build… Anyways this sounds great. Hopefully we get a patch or two to tidy up the input lag issues.
I am SO excited for this, had it preordered since… I forget. My gut tells me this is going to be Bloober’s moment.
Radio! What’s going on with that radio?!
@fleenerstrunk Nice! All fantastic games. I finish very few these days, between being pressed for time and SO many great ones coming out. Did finish Stellar Blade this year though!
I do think that Veilguard is looking pretty great, but I won’t be playing it anytime soon bc I’m invested in finishing like 4 other games—one of them being Baldur’s Gate 3!
I was OBSESSED with Star Renegades. Put in dozens of hours over PS5 and Switch. Such a fantastic game. Challenging, tactical combat, awesome pixel art and character design, and so, so much personality. Can’t believe the game didn’t even show up in the system to be rated… 😭
@DETfaninATL Always wanted to try Mooncrash. Prey is fantastic, and I can see how it would make an excellent roguelike.
Hubbub, indeed! Heart pounding, frantically checking websites in my phone and laptop, with support from cool dudes on the PushSquare community, was able to snag one from Target. I became 10 years old again. Most beautiful PS5 controller by a long shot!
Maybe I missed this somewhere in the article or the video, but can this game be played in single player in the campaign mode? Or is it always online co-op? Looks like a bloody good time!
I’d like to get this, especially given the extra work they’ve put in. I loved the Surge games and want to support Deck13, but this one just didn’t call out to me when it came out… Sounds like now is the right time to let my Atlas Fall!
The negativity around Bloober Team is growing tiresome. I thought The Medium was a solid game, and I’m excited to see them tackle Silent Hill. Let’s give them a chance, eh? I am hopeful that this will be their moment, and we’ll all have an amazing remake to play.
@Ainu20 @ralizah I agree, the first game is SO old and pretty archaic, would have made much more sense to start there. I tried playing it a few years back and it was ROUGH; put it down after a couple hours. SH2, on the other hand, is still very playable.
Honestly, I think the game still looks fantastic. All we really need is 60fps. The combat is so dependent on quick reflexes, it would be a gamechanger to play at 60. No remake, no remaster needed—just patch that framerate for PS5!
@BecauseBecause You might as well order from LRG if you really want it. They may take a little while, but you’ll be guaranteed a copy and at a FAIR price. Promise I don’t work for them lol, just encouraging your gaming collection habit 🤪
@HarmanSmith This game has been a huge inspiration to me, artistically. The visual imagery is so bizarre and beautiful. The vibe of the game is so obtuse and absurd, but also so intelligent. And the gameplay is so unique, challenging, and fun. An absolute masterpiece. Glad to see folks on here really appreciating this incredible game. Nice profile pic too! Clearly you’re a BIG fan!
@AhabSpampurse Yea! I sold my Gamecube once I got a Wii—only the early ones play Gamecube, right? Anyways I always wish I could use the pointer when I play it!!
FINALLY, Killer7 makes it back into the conversation!!! This game is Suda51’s masterpiece. Still have my Gamecube copy, but would buy a complete edition in a heartbeat!
Definitely interested, just haven’t pulled the trigger. I have so many games preordered that are not VR games, so it’s really about prioritizing time I guess, versus cost…ect. ect. Blargh, I still want one lol
@drventure69 Your assessment of buying a PSVR2 was super helpful 👍🏼 Venture Bros. is the GOAT!!
Thanks for the heads up, will def try the demo at some point. Secret of Mana is one of my all time favorites from my childhood, very curious if this game can recapture some of that magic.
Wow yeah that trailer is impressive. I dare say that this is what a turn-based souls-like looks like—those boss fights are classic From. Definitely one to keep on the radar.
Astro controller will be the first controller I buy, aside from the one that came with my launch console. Will probably keep it in the box until my pack-in one truly bites the dust. The touchpad has gotten wonky, but no stick drift yet (despite how many times I’ve dropped it)…
I keep flip-flopping on this, even after pre-ordering. Why does Astro Bot need to make baby sounds every time he does a move? That was a choice… Did he do that in the other games? Turns me off wanting to play the game tbh…
I want to see From do something to shake up the formula next time. I’d love to see them try a turn-based strategy game, and Armored Core seems like a logical answer to that. VI is a fantastic game though, and so glad it exists.
First Team Ninja game I’ve skipped in a while. The larger open world and all of the box-checking that likely entails has, I suppose, turned me off. I look forward to trying this demo, to see if the masterful Team Ninja combat can hook me anyways. Smart move on their part!

Re: Until Dawn PS5 Is Priced at $60 / £60
Wasn’t wow-ed by this game the first time I played it, so I wouldn’t buy this remake no matter how much it cost.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 542
In the middle of…
-Baldur’s Gate 3
-Lords of the Fallen
-FF7Rebirth
-Armored Core VI
-Tunic
Yeah… And I kind if just want to reinstall Alien: Isolation to prepare for seeing Romulus on Monday…

Re: Square Enix Has Got Fans Talking About a Final Fantasy 13 Remake, Not a Remaster
Least favorite Final Fantasy by a wide margin. Remaster trilogy (if anything) and move on please.

Shout out to Target’s online store! I was able to order my launch PS5 from them, Amiibo preorders, and now this controller. They always come through!

Re: Poll: Is the Astro Bot PS5 Controller the Best DualSense Yet?
Astro controller will be the first controller I buy, aside from the one that came with my launch console. Will probably keep it in the box until my pack-in one truly bites the dust. The touchpad has gotten wonky, but no stick drift yet (despite how many times I’ve dropped it)…
