Too many remasters in that list. People are way too easily pleased.
But yeah, outside of Star Wars which will inevitably be placed in 2025 and maybe Alone in the Dark, literally none of these are a bit of me. I’ll sit through this year completing BG3 and be scammed into F1 24 and leave it at that I reckon!
We’ve got to have some bloody announcements this year surely? I feel like there’s no surprises or announcements that have been recent and anything already announced is either miles away or we’ve heard nout more about (Wolf Among Us 2 I’m looking at you…)
Literally love to just drive around so can’t wait for a huge map with lots of people, traffic and things to see. Also, will we finally have indicators on cars for full immersion?
I also hope the map isn’t too locked up; inevitably it’ll require progress to unlock it all but I hope much of it is useable and what isn’t, doesn’t require too much gameplay to unlock.
The only reason I smell even an ounce of truth in this is because of two reasons:
1. The DLC for Ragnarok 2. If, as Ragnorak suggests, we are about to follow in the steps of Atreus, they might be aware some of the core demographic of the games might not follow them in that direction so therefore by releasing these, that group will buy these to get their fix of Kratos instead.
An unbelievably devastating leak. Hackers and users of that hack should be bought down swiftly and badly. Banning from ISP, any associated PS accounts banned also. Really make this hack representative of how future backs will be handled.
Putting it out there - I think Sony, even though they decided their online focus after this was announced, has actually canned their live service approach.
All of the Bungie news, the silence after that horrendous showcase earlier in the year and now this.
I think we’ll get six months of silence while they change their studio’s focuses and then they will announce single player games as their focus with a showcase full of announcements.
@get2sammyb True that - expecting a lot less barren land this time (although there’s nothing like walking a deserted street with an automatic like you’re some kind of kingpin 😂)
I love how busy with people every shot is. Actual game footage better take this and fly with it. Can’t wait for a hustle and vibrancy we haven’t seen before in gaming.
Look, this sucks massively for anyone at Rockstar. It’s unfortunate and really crappy of whoever did it and those who took part in earlier leaks.
However, I’d equally agree that Rockstar’s practices don’t help the situation. They are one of, if not the most known gaming dev and GTA is its best know product. If you’re going to do announcements of announcements, you know what’s coming.
Get ahead of the curve and if you’ve got something to show, just show it. It’s 2023 and people are pr*cks.
It’s quite sad that it feels that we’re at the point where Rockstar are racing against the clock before some idiot leaks the entire game at this stage..
I am very excited for this week in gaming though. Game Awards is genuinely shaping up to be a good one AND a GTA trailer? Yes please.
I mean, none of this ultimately matters. Everyday gamers will lap it up and their focus won’t shift for many years (look at the FIFA years).
The majority of us lot will appreciate a game like a fine wine and be a bit more picky on our approach.
Both fans of gaming can co-exist without the ‘end of gaming’. Not really understanding people’s narrative with this; it’s fine, this ‘crap’ can do well and we’ll await some strong titles elsewhere.
COD being super popular doesn’t stop the Baldur’s Gate 3’s of the world being made.
I recently got myself a gaming laptop and was so surprised how many games and platforms don’t have PS controller embedded as default. Imagine it’ll happen eventually without the need of bespoke apps to make it happen but surprised it’s not common place yet.
I’ll be fuming if it is. It would mean a lot of features won’t be implemented unless the game has an ‘expansion map’ only useable on next gen but even then it wouldn’t be the full game utilised for next gen.
In cases like this I always think of the Last of Us. Both of those games suffer with having a longer game but SO much filler. A lot of moments which offer little story and feel like are just there to pad the game out.
I haven’t played Spider-Man 2 yet but assuming it’s not got any padding within its main missions, I’d much rather that.
(Evidently through my Joel appreciation avatar I’m a huge Last of Us fan before the inevitable replies - I do think however they pad those games out excessively)
Started a fresh game (never fully finished the first 1.0 attempt) and rushed the initial bits to open up the DLC and now taking things much slower now I’m just about to enter Dogtown.
Love everything about this game now. I still feel the perk tree is a little chaotic to read but much better:
@theMEGAniggle Haha definitely harder than it looks. And what people don’t know is how many people work on the crew so you’ve got everyone watching you fail hard, you know it’s getting filmed AND you could potentially win thousands. Lot of stress which means a simple penny machine becomes an assault course 😂😂

Re: Game of the Year: #2 - Baldur's Gate 3
Having played both this and Spiderman, and Spider-Man’s woeful side content (minus two or three side missions), this is a horrendous take.
BG3 should be first, no excuses.

Re: Game of the Year: Khayl's Top 5 PS5, PS4 Games of 2023
About time Baldur’s Gate 3 was number one on one of your top 5. Sensational game so far and I am STILL on Act 1.

Blade confirmed as Xbox exclusive then folks.
Re: God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla Set After Main Game as Kratos Faces His Past in a Personal Story
Ah come on people - players are allowed to not like rogue like and be vocal about it.
It’s a very particular gaming style which many, including myself, wouldn’t pick to play.
Nothing negative about that, just honest feedback.
Re: Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Spotlights Its Brainwashed Heroes in Latest Trailer
Needs to be more Guardians of the Galaxy for me. This is a strong pass still.
Re: God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla Announced, Free DLC Out Next Week on PS5, PS4
Roguelike? Whaaat. How disappointing.

Re: Layoffs Confirmed at F1 Developer Codemasters
Disgusting. Codies had it all going and EA just shot in the heart of it.

Two articles about this update? Must be a big one 😂
This part of the update sounds good though.

Re: The Game Awards Will Get Rid of Iconic World Premiere Banners

I mean, what a load of rubbish. Clearly he knows the number for this year and given it’s his show, he’ll have an order for last years too.

Re: Forget Kong, GameMill's The Walking Dead: Destinies Could Be Amongst 2023's Worst
So disappointed. Outside of Telltale, no one has done a decent Walking Dead game. CD Projeckt Red… where you at?
Re: Poll: What Will Win Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2023?
It will be, and frankly deserves to be, Baldur’s Gate 3.
Re: Like All Modern Games, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora Has a PS5 Season Pass
This is almost serving as a ‘we apologise in advance for the state of the main game, so here’s what you will have’ video… bit odd.
Re: Become a Suicide Squad Insider with Story, Gameplay Details This Week
It needed five years and a complete revamp for me to even BOTHER to watch this.
Also, rumour has it there’s a killer trailer coming in December of a highly anticipated game…. Wonder which trailer does best?
Re: Sony Delays Six Live Service PS5 Games, But Company Remains Committed to Model
They can say what they like about live service games, I won’t be buying a single one.
I’ll just sit here instead waiting for GTA 6, God of War (as long as it’s not Atreus solo campaign), Ghost of Tsushima 2 etc.
Re: GTA 6 Will Not Be Delayed if Voice Actors Eventually Strike
@LifeGirl Hollywood and TV has had its day? I mean, that’s the wildest comment I’ve ever seen.
It’d be bad for gaming but it was certainly bad for TV and Film too…
Re: Poll: Do You Think GTA 6 Will Release on PS4?
I’ll be fuming if it is. It would mean a lot of features won’t be implemented unless the game has an ‘expansion map’ only useable on next gen but even then it wouldn’t be the full game utilised for next gen.
Re: GTA 6 Could Be Announced Later This Week for PS5
I’ll believe it when I see it.
Been a long wait. I remember buying the physical release GTA bundle as a teen. Can imagine my excitement will be on par for this release.
Re: Game Director of The Last of Us' PS5 Multiplayer Project Says He's Still Working on It
Wonder if it’ll be moved to a single player game and be Sony’s answer to State of Decay within the Last of Us universe?
I agree with @Gaia093 though - the use of wording implies it’s really not that big of a deal anymore for Vinit..
Re: Hitman Maker's New James Bond Game Will Be PS5's Ultimate Spycraft Fantasy
Really looking forward to this. And hearing that theme tune every time it boots up.

Re: Rewrite Fictional History in The Walking Dead: Destinies on PS5, PS4
So disappointing but it looks like this will join Gollum and King Kong. It looks truly awful.
I’d have LOVED this if it was good too.
Re: PS5 Slim's Digital Edition Gets a Stealth Price Increase in USA
At this point why not buy a PC with any component you like? I am joking but not sure I like this trend of buying bits and bobs for a console much.
I’ll stick with my disc edition original.
Re: PS1 Cult Classic Hogs of War Is Bringing Home the Bacon with a Crowd-Funded Remaster
YES!
This was bloody awesome and having Rik’s voice back again will be great.
Day one purchase for me whatever happens.
Re: The Last of Us Multiplayer's Microtransactions Man Has Left Naughty Dog
Yeah…. This isn’t happening.

@theMEGAniggle No tips of when to click it and as it lies flat, you just opted for wherever had most coins.
