Maybe. If they anything to show that is.
Personally I'm only really interested in seeing what CAPCOM are up to with Resident Evil 9 (open world rumored and it being the most expensive RE game also rumored).

@BusyOlf IIRC it's 3rd person only, so probably no.

"largest budget in the series ever", "ambitious plans"
Yeah, I smell an open world, GaaS (to some extent) experience.

Capcom wants to take the series into the future.. And the future is not 10-15 million units sold per entry single player games.. No it's a successful GaaS game that still has some appeal to the old fans.

Meta is what used to be Facebook (they own Facebook and Instragram it seems) and they have for a year or more been trying to push Meta Verse (which is a VR equivalent to the defunct PlayStation Home "universe" you could say).

So far they haven't had much luck, barely anyone uses it and they loose $1 billion a month I just read yesterday.

It's clearly WB is being money hatted into making this game in order for Meta to sell some more Meta Quest headsets. So Meta Verse can become a success.

The problem as I see it, is that 3D effect is simply not healthy for your brain as it cheats you into believing you're seeing a 3D image when you're actually seeing 2 slightly different 2D images (one per eye).

(and in my personal experience playing on my 3DSs with 3D effect on it stresses your brain double up compared to playing without the 3D effect - I even saw double once when I turned my head away from the 3D image and looked out the window)

Kinda funny how people in this thread seems to forget, that there is probably only a small chance that new Fallout and Elders Scrolls games will even release on PS5.

Sure Microsoft are trying out smaller titles on PS5/Switch right now, but who says they will even be that successful.

They have to port them which cost money (plus there's the "little" issue of having to pay a 30% cut to the platform holder, that they won't have to on Xbox itself).

@DennisReynolds None this year so far.

3, because it's the most mainstream. Then New Vegas because it is more down to earth and not as militaristic as 3. 4, I wouldn't recommend unless you're willing to put a lot of effort into it.

@Konks Yeah, I'm sure both games have been very profitable. But if you're trying to build IPs with long term success, it might be a bit worrying (it's a bit like one hit pop band wonders really).

So the question is whether or not to walk down to the local 365 Discount and buy popcorn for the inevitable Sammy Barker editorial/analysis of the state of the play(station).. and the business as a whole.

It does seem like modern gamers have incredible short attention spans though; A few weeks ago Palworld was the biggest thing, but then came Helldivers 2 and suddenly not that many people play the former anymore (all according to steamcharts.com).

I wonder how long Helldivers 2 will last in that regard as it's probably just another fairly generic co-op shooter in the end. Guess time will tell.

Pretty stuffed up on the gaming news front this week and the week after. We'll have quarterly financial reports from Nintendo etc. tomorrow or so (plus probably a Nintendo Direct next week) and now Microsoft will probably confirm (at least some of) the 3rd party rumors next week as well.

The only thing we're now missing out on is some actually exciting/interesting games to play or look forward too that aren't remasters or remakes. Very exciting times ahead when it comes to information about the future of gaming on a whole.

My personal prediction on the future is that in 4-5 years there will be Nintendo, PC and streaming on the hardware front.
On the software front it will only be Nintendo that publishes 1st party software. PlayStation and Microsoft will be 3rd party publishers and maybe host some streaming channels.

@dirty_score Yeah, I know (but you never know).

Will be interesting to see how the modern controls will hold up.

Camera control with the right stick is a great addition.. But how well will the more "free flowing" character controls blend with the old "slowly walk up to the edge of a ledge, jump back, then run towards the ledge and press jump before you reaches the edge of it, then hold "X" to (hopefully) grab on onto the ledge you're jumping towards" millimeter precision gameplay.

I just want to know if you can save anywhere you want in III, as the save system on the PSOne version was incredible unforgiving (never finished the game for that reason).

Will get (for my Steam Deck).
Combat looks really cool with the grappling hook.

So do you have to buy the DLC to get the free update to Mercenaries?

@Deadlyblack It's still not Embracer Group that's behind that game. Embracer bought the rights in august 2022 (as it says in the article). The Gollum deal was done before Embracer entered the LotR "scene".

@OrtadragoonX It says in the article that the Gollum game was neither published nor developed by anything or anyone under the Embracer Group umbrella.

After the success of Hogwarts Legacy you can't really blame them going down the same route (licensing already well known brands)

Airs at midnight where I live (and I should be in bed). But Capcom is my favorite company and it's only 36 minutes, so I guess I will have to stay up a bit longer (not that I'm expecting anything from the showcase - I would like a remaster/enhanced version of Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D for modern consoles - but it's probably not going to happen)

Yeah, Village was quite good and enjoyable most of the time. One of the best new games in quite a few years.

I told Capcom I wanted an enhanced/remastered version of my favorite game of all time; Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D.

Just give me a 60 fps version with 4 more stages from RE4/5 and 8 more characters from the RE roster (they might even put Ethan Winters in there - I wouldn't mind) plus 2 stick control and a move and shoot option.

Street Fighter is my favorite fighting game series. 2. is SNK's King of Fighters series which I've just had my first experience with this week.

But I'm not getting SF6 even though I have a PS4. I prefer to play on handhelds these days and I'm relatively new to the Fighting Game genre as a whole (and not completely sold on the genre yet)

I might get a complete edition for Switch 2 on a sale (if that became a reality), but as of now I have more than enough Fighting Games to delve into.

Contrary to me the fanboys didn't like the last couple of Castlevanias we got (Lords of Shadow Mirror of Fate and Lords of Shadow 2) and MGS V just wasn't very good imo.

Personally I'm very skeptical there will come anything good out of this. And Silent Hill 2 remake by Blooper, come on! (and I actually still bought the SH games when barely no one else did - good thing is that I got really good prices even for the non Team Silent ones when I sold them)

But ok, if Sony comes up with a large enough sum of money, we'll probably get a MGS remake (and maybe even a new Castlevania), but then Sony might have lost an argument against Microsoft buying ActivisionBlizzard imo.

@Beerheadgamer82 It's fine if you prefer your RE games to be actually scary, but I never found the original trilogy (or Code Veronica) particular scary. They where moody (and at the same time "comfy" - in that it was really good escapism). What scared me most about was the thought of not being able to figure out to actually finish them (they had quite a lot of puzzles and items to find - and you had to search every nook and cranny by repeatedly pushing X)

The remakes, although very solid, well build games, didn't have the same effect on me. It just felt like you had been there before. RE4 on the other hand was a game it took me many years to learn play well, as I found the action in the game very challenging (I actually prefer the stop before you shoot mechanic now, because it adds an element of strategy to the game - plus I think it is cool that you have to "raise" your weapon before you can reload it - it adds a touch of realism to it imo)

I'm sure RE4 remake is a really good and enjoyable game, but I'll wait for a sale because I found the village part of the demo to similar to the original game (plus I'm not a big fan of any of the remakes - I'm actually playing REØ on my Switch now and finding the experience more interesting than the remakes - 4th play through I'm on in 17 years)

@Beerheadgamer82 Resident Evil was never a series about being scared imo; sure the games were moody (and strangely uplifting at the same time - guess it's good to play characters that are in a worse situation than yourself)

Ok, RE1 remake was on the scary side (and Ø too), but I never really liked those ones (felt uninspired and ultimately old). To be truthful the RE Engine games has become way too "serious" in tone imo (especially the remakes - but no Village thankfully)

I played the demo of RE4 remake and wasn't really impressed (too much the same experience as the original), so it'll be pass from me (I'll probably get it at half price or something in a year or two though)

@Matroska Also she looks a bit like a street punk with that Union Jack jacket (ok game's called Street Fighter 6.. so idk ); she is supposed to be some kind of secret agent after all (I don't how smart it would be wearing the flag of the country you're working for, as an undercover agent, on your jacket )

Not that big on fighting games as a whole, but Cammy IS my favorite Street Fighter character (she reminds a slight bit of Jill from Resident Evil personality wise)

But I got to say this is more brutal than I think I really like; Jill has a neck snap finisher too in RE5 Mercenaries and RE: The Mercenaries 3D too, but that's done against infected (majinis or cultists).

Here it is against actual (computer generated of course - but still) human beings. Frankly I think it's become a bit too much.. (but on the other hand when you defeated a character in the earlier games they often landed on their head as well.. so idk really)

DREI incoming?

Jim "Flying of the Shelves" Ryan must be a happy man.

(actually I am too - but for other reasons - I want Nintendo to be pressured into releasing new hardware )

Would probably probably buy it at a sale for my Steam Deck (plus maybe a few select DLC cars if not too expensive).

I really enjoyed the 60's/70's cars in PSP GT.

@WallyWest They might have if Steam stepped up and really got their "interface" (and by that I mean level of convenience) to the same level as Sony's and Xbox' consoles.

Then they could release a Steam OS "console" for those who want a console experience (a just press "A" to start the game - no tinkering needed - experience).

And the games would be there too (ok, not Nintendo's - but that's why I think there will still be room for Nintendo console/handheld hybrid in the market).

@WallyWest

Microsoft release all of their first parties on PC as well. And Sony will end up doing the same sooner than later (they have already come a long way in doing so).

PS4/5 and Xbox consoles are basically PCs anyway. So it's very easy to release the games on PC too (and streaming will probably evolve and become stable and be available through a standard TV in the future).

There probably won't be anymore Sony and Xbox consoles after this generation. It will be Nintendo, PC and Streaming.

I just turned 55 myself, but I've heard of ASAP. He's married to Rihanna (who's probably yesterday's news herself).

I might have heard of Diplo. Or am I just confusing it with Duplo? (you know the Lego toy sets for even younger children than fans of Diplo )

Great then I don't have to buy a Series S for the game.

You have to consider that not many "big hitter" games has been released since february. It's easier to sell a lot when there's not much competition. Personally I burnt out of the format/concept with Dark Souls which I enjoyed quite a bit, I admit.

Resident Evil Village The Winters' Expansion.
No full games until Resident Evil 4 really interests me.

Dark Souls was pretty good. Demon' s Souls was just to punishing. Haven't played the rest (I do own Dark Souls II but just haven't bothered with it).

None, never liked the idea of subscription based gaming, mainly because my taste in games is quite narrow (horror themed/like third person shooter games mainly).

Besides I've really jumped ship the last 10 years and almost completely play handhelds these days (a much less stressful and "intimate" way of playing IMO - can't wait to get my hands on a Steam Deck ).

Capcom is really firing on all cylinders these years. It might not be revolutionary, but it sure is solid. Can't personally wait for RE Village Gold and RE4 reimagination.

And a 3rd time.. tried to shoot his way.. didn't work.

1 hour 40 minutes in and now there's actual challenging gameplay.. and the game seems to be falling apart lol.. the Youtuber playing it just died twice in the same section.. he should probably have played it a bit more stealthy

It's a pretty good movie though. Watching it on Youtube now while I'm re-downloading my PS3 copy (takes forever btw).

No. Got on PS3 already and didn't think it was anything really special.
Besides from that, I understand it's as remake just as much as Demon's Souls remake and the upcoming Dead Space are remakes; basically the same game with a new "coat of paint" plus some minor tweaks to the gameplay/mechanics.
Boring if you ask me.

There's only one way for the P-People.

Can't say I'm extremely excited; I'm sure it will be ok and I will get it for my Steam Deck (if it can run it).
But what will the combat system be? Will it be "gun fu" (setting up enemies for melee finishers) like in the original? Or will it be "oh the horror" and "we can't have any karate stuff, because that's just to unserious for horror (and you know "oh the horror").
Don't get me wrong, I'll get the game regardless (I'm too huge an RE fan not to). But I'm a bit sceptical to what the gameplay will be like (not really a fan of being close to defenseless).
But we'll see I guess (not really a big fan of the whole remake concept either, but that's another discussion).

It was good, because RE4 was revealed. I hope it will play on Steam Deck too (I'm a handheld gamer these days).

I'm not worried about Sony. But a bit worried if the Steam Deck can play upcoming Resident Evil games. That's all I'm really worried about these days. Modern gaming is not my cup of tea.

I hope we'll see a reveal of RE4 remake and the RE Village DLC, but then again I think I read a couple days ago that Capcom would do a stream of their own the 13th of june (around Summer Game Fest). So I don't really know what to think.

@Rob3008 Just stating my opinion, that's all .
