Already pre-ordered it on the AppStore. Says it releases on September 1st.

@Areus I'm still baffled why they didn't buy insomniac games years ago.

I mean, hard to argue with this article. Mostly multiplatform games on display which was great and I felt like the exclusives department was a bit lacking. Yeah they showed Halo teaser with no gameplay and no info whatsoever, additionally, Gears 5 and Horizon 4 - which are the same old franchises Microsoft relies on time and time again. There was nothing new or innovative from the first party studios.

Bigger question is, can you play it solo from start to finish?

Couldn't care less about those GAAS (Destiny, Anthem etc...) so it won't affect my decision on which one to buy. Days Gone all the way.
Plus SP > MP.

Sony, if they show an extended gameplay for all 4 major titles with perhaps a release date for The Last of Us Part 2/Ghost of Tsushima, sprinkle Bloodborne 2 announcement, beta for Dreams this summer then it's a done deal.

Hitman and The Order 1886.

Sadly I've always been unlucky when it comes to PS+ in the past 6 months, I've already owned most of the freebies if not all.

More like "prease be excited".

Will wait for a price drop.

Fingers crossed for Splinter Cell.

I can't wait for September, got my pre-order ready!

Open world shooter? Hopefully it's SP. Can't wait to see more!

Fingers crossed for RAGE 1 remaster of some sort.

Not surprised one bit. Good job Sony Santa Monica!

I'm sorry but I don't see anything wrong with sharing a couple of hours of gameplay from an open-world game. First of all, it plays rather slowly as the developers and commentators are trying best to explain every situation, mechanic and encounter. Moreover, it's not the first open world game that has done something similar (The Witcher 3 had extensive gameplay videos of quests that took as nearly as 30-40 min to complete).

Day one for me!!!

Working on God of War platinum.

I think it can easily achieve 15 mil lifetime sales.

Physical for most games unless PSN sales are insanely good. I do like digital for the convenience but not owning the games is a big bummer for me. What happens in 10 years when they decide to shut down the store and you can't access your games? All that money down the drain. That's my major reason for buying physical, I'll have my disc 10-15 years from now, will you have access to your online game library then? That's a big question mark.

God of War and Detroit demo. God of War is shaping to be GOAT.

@BAMozzy I think the best way to handle it is having certain abilities and tools locked behind progress and the rest (runes, power, level, stats, items and combat abilities) available from the start with adjusted difficulty to accommodate the changes.

@Lejenko my God I had the same problem. My girlfriend even noticed that my Pro sounded like it was about to take off.

@bbtothe agreed.

Getting it day one!

If Knack 3 isn't a launch title I'm gonna riot.

More Uncharted is always a good thing if done right, same as The Lost Legacy.

Wow, that was quick!

Good Lord this looks incredible. I just finished replaying the first game on my PSP. It's remarkable what they were able to accomplish with this remake.

I'll go with performance for the first playthrough and then switch to resolution on the second.

@get2sammyb Completely agree here.

Saw it, not much spoilers going on for those concerned. Watch away if you find another upload on YouTube.

Apparently it's an official gameplay montage and the embargo ends tomorrow. Whether they are going to post it or not remains to be seen.

@Flaming_Kaiser this. I agree. It’s nitpicking when the company’s investment in PlayStation as a platform and its exclusives are the ones doing the talking.

@daveofduncan agreed. Talking of complaining about ads, people should check the ads on Xbox One, even for those who pay for Gold.

Controller is meh, but the console, wow!

Day one! Can't wait.

They deserve even more!

Just out curiosity, these numbers include TFW expansion as well?

A successor to MotorStorm and from the same guys who worked on it?
looks at wallet and sighs

It's so hard to pick 3, but here goes:

1. God of War
2. Spider-Man
3. Days Gone (if it's pushed back to 2019, then Red Dead Redemption 2).

Just out of curiosity, did publishers ever release AAA games on Thursdays?

Knack 2 should be on this list. Seriously.

Not bad, but I already own both sadly. :/

Horizon as number one? Great pick! Same goes for me.

If I had to pick too 5 this year:

5. The Evil Within 2
4. Knack 2 (huge surprise, plus the soundtrack is incredible)
3. NieR: Automata
2. Nioh (as someone who never got into Souls games, I loved every second of it).
1. Horizon: Zero Dawn (+expansion)

I have yet to play Persona 5

They should just seriously drop the whole online only nonesense. I understand that it was built with that in mind but, why not giving the option to disable it for those who wish for a single player experience and couldn’t care less for online leaderboards and such?

Was hoping for a new entry, but this is still Day one purchase for me.

So it’s ok for movies but not for video games. Smh.

Horizon: Zero Dawn for me! Closely followed by Nier.

I’m torn between uncharted 4 and 2.

It’s not due to some drastic shift in the industry but more of Microsoft’s way of slowly moving away from the console business and focus more on software, which is not a bad thing. I highly doubt Sony will follow if/when this happens. They earn plenty on selling the PlayStation hardware and software (especially exclusives).

I really hope Days Gone will come out in 2018. Fingers crossed.

@get2sammyb agreed. The closure is more to do with restructuring of the company and business models than anything else. Sales of course might have affected that but not as much as other factors.
It's definitely a loss, but we're talking about a very small company, I don't see why people equate that to a triple A studio closures.

It happens to a lot of indie developers, whether they're independent or a subsidiary of bigger companies.

Is there a weather in the game? Such as sandstorms, rain etc...?
