Permadeath for a 20-30 hour game is soooo dumb, regardless of difficulty. That means you die and your savegame gets deleted, right? Any time I've tried for a trophy like this (Witcher 2, Dead Space 2), I always die from something really stupid and then feel like a fool for wasting so much time.

Dang! With him and Tomonobu Itagaki gone, there's only 3 other iconic fighting game dev personalities I know left (Ed Boon, Ken Lobb, Katsuhiro Harada)!

Nice interview! Although I'm still not super clear on what it is you do in this game, lol. Go around a document the island?

I really love the quote in the accolades trailer that just says, "BUY", lol. Been a while since I played a Spiders game...maybe I SHOULD "buy" this one....

Usually I get really, really excited when I read anything that remotely suggests a new game in the works. This time, however, I’m actually angry, tired, and sick of being jerked around as a fan. Konami can “officially” shove it!

Proof it's not too late to invest in this game!

The game that's not even out yet has the most content revealed...how about that! Super excited about Leo being back, especially since he ain't generally that popular. The new dude looks super cool too, although I think it's weird that he (and almost everyone else) looks super bulky in this game...

Look gud, me GET!

I'd rather have them let all players start out with maxed-out levels and abilities for ALL characters so the game is something closer to being balanced, and then have cosmetic unlocks stay behind the grind.

That's my problem with this mode and why it's not fun at all...it doesn't matter how well you and your team play, if the mastermind is maxed-out, level-wise, you're going to lose 100% of the time. At least, that's what it's always been in my experience. Most games are just one-sided blow-outs, and it feels like a chore just to grind and grind, hoping to FINALLY have a close/fun/competitive match.

Gah, it'd be nice to return to the world of Bulletstorm one day, but seems like that was a one-and-done deal. I still think that kind of environmental-based gameplay has a lot of potential.

Can't look at a Ubisoft game without thinkin' the people who made it getting sexually abused by higher management. Not that other devs don't have blood on their hands, but...there's plenty of other things to play and feel good about.

I didn't even know this game was released on PS3, lol...I thought it was PS4 only!

Also, good for them, that's quite a feat!

I'm worried that my cat would gnaw on the "shell" part of it, lol. That's considering that it would go on top of my entertainment center, after what being inside of it did to my PS4 (can you say "vvvvvvvVROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM" ?)

Dang, you guys even beat fighting-game website Event Hubs to the news! Gotta love PushSquare

@Jacko11 As if "recycled gameplay" wasn't enough of a sales deterrent, the recent sexual misconduct stuff is just absolutely a nail in the coffin for me.

Uninstalled any Ubisoft games I had installed, blocked their emails, blocked them on social media, and don't plan on ever buying anything from them again, honestly. Good riddance.

Ah, now I can finally try this! Just wanted to see what the "accessible" fighting system was like.

Gimme those Danganronpa games on sale before they're gone forever! On Vita, that is. And Dragon Quest Builders, Vita too. Of course, I expect the world to explode before Vita games go on sale, but hey...it's 2020, anything can happen.

@Matroska Yeah, good idea, especially now that I've see the closure of several online stores for "dead" consoles, it seems like physical is the way to go just in case the next step is "download the game now because we're removing it from the server!"

Of course, the next issue is that lots of games require you to be online to play or have a massive day one patch that's needed to make the game even playable.

Anyway...as for this article...LAAAAME. I haven't finished the second game, so I didn't pick up Ultra Despair Girls or 3 yet, so guess I'll have to do that soon. Too bad Vita games are never, EVER on sale these days. I've also noticed that physical versions of Vita games that were once in abundance for $10 easily online are now up to $40 or $60 so...great.

Given that the last 3 open world Ubisoft games I've bought felt exactly the same, I'll pass...and that's not even considering the sexual misconduct drama over there!

Ubisoft needs to change, in more ways than one.

@StonyKL I think it's "I impress myself" lol

@theMEGAniggle Also...you played Turok Evolution when you were 3? Lol. Nice!

@theMEGAniggle I think there could be a good chance they can remaster Evolution, since it has a PC version they can start from (which was the case with 1 and 2).

Between the pandemic and them going all-in on System Shock remake, however, I don't think it's a priority, especially since the game isn't as highly regarded as the others. Personally, I've liked Evolution more and more as time goes by.

@theMEGAniggle Yeah, my heart almost exploded outta my chest when I saw the Turok Evolution image. But lo, it's only the remaster of Turok 1 (and probably 2), which have been out for a couple years now. Dang it!

Great remasters, although Turok 2 is waaaaay better thanks to a bunch of new features they added, namely waypoints (no more getting hopelessly lost for hours!) and a ledge grab (makes jumping soooo much easier and less stressful).

They can charge whatever they want, but they can't make me pay!

If anything, devs should make $40 games that are 10-15 hours long, instead of $60-70 and bloated up with another 15-25+ hours of filler content.

Much better release date than Dark Pictures: Little Hope (Friday, Oct 30) since I'll actually be able to play it and beat it before Halloween!

When it comes to Vita games....NO, lol.

@NomNom I was wondering where they could take the next Killzone game, and I realized there's still a TON of growth in the FPS genre, not necessarily doing things that have never been done, but having more complex AI, true destructible/interactive environments, and more experimental weapons or gadgets (i.e. an OWL drone that works even if you're not on a 100% flat surface, lol).

Killzone is near and dear to my heart, and I'd love to see another one, but at the same time, I don't blame Guerilla for wanting to do something completely new and different after all the time spent just making Killzone.

@Lando_ I bought an Xbox One console several years ago, and the exact day it came in the mail, Killer Instinct (the only game I bought it for) was announced for PC. Titanfall and Gears 4 were already for PC, so at that point, I had zero reason to own an Xbox and returned it.

Nowadays, Xbox "exclusives" are released the exact same day on PC, and with crossplay on all of them, I can play with my Xbox buddy day one. It's a really, really convenient and consumer-friendly approach, honestly. Plus with Game Pass for $5 a month to have unrestricted day one access to all new first party AAA games (which often have tons of PC-tailored options and care), it's an insane value that makes me wonder how they don't go out of business. Granted, the quality of games is arguably much worse (lol), but the consumer-friendliness almost makes up for it.

I think what Sony's doing right now is a good middle-ground between exclusives protection and sharing their first party games with a wider audience.

@Juanalf Nintendo also keeps their games at $60 or $40 for the entire lifetime of the game, whereas Sony's first party AAA games can be found for $30 a year later and then regularly $20 on sale, and then eventually $10 just a couple years later (see: Horizon, Uncharted, God of War). I usually feel like a criminal when I buy these games for that low of a price.

If money was the bottom line, Sony could just not drop the price of all their games so quickly. If anything this move would actually HELP sales of the PS5 by getting PC gamers excited about the new game.

@mini_piekarnik Yeah, it's sad to read about some of this stuff, especially stuff involving minors who go to arcades or events just to play some games.

Also, that's the thing about zero tolerance: if the punishment is harsh enough, people will stop doing it! Now if only drunk driving rules weren't so lax in the States, we might stop people with 2-3 DUIs from running over kids all the time. But I digress. There's a lot of injustice in the modern "civilized" world still, and it's nice to see some people FINALLY being held accountable for their actions.

I hope the stadium has a lot of bathrooms, because that's the kinda place where me and my buddy like to hide until the match is over (once we've geared up, of course).

The movement looks really fun and "freeing"...maybe I'll finally have a replacement for LawBreakers? Probably not, but I like what they're bringing to the table. Hopefully it tastes as good as it looks. So...when's dinner time? :B

@Shepherd_Tallon With Mass Effect, it started even earlier than ME3, I think. After the first game, Bioware's forums exploded with fan requests, from things like adding Garrus as a romance to axing the Mako, and Bioware made the mistake of really getting involved with what "fans want" and let that slowly drive more and more of how ME2 and ME3 played out. That's why they got so fan-service-y after the first one.

Granted, there's merit in customer feedback, but letting fans steer the ship is a big mistake, IMHO!

In this case, with Crysis...yeah, those screenshots look like crap, and apparently that was gonna be reflective of the final product, so good call for them on delaying it.

Looks really cool! I hate to admit that I'm a little wary of games developed in China, but I'm always on the lookout for something to break that stigma...like this!

Definitely a mobile gatcha game...ugh! Then again, for the past week I've been playing "Jurassic World Alive" (wanted to show someone an example of an AR game) and it's actually not so bad, namely because the PVP element actually has some strategy involved and not just "whoever has the higher level wins lol #pay2win #grind2win"

@Blacksmith1985 If you like shooters, I definitely recommend trying out Crysis 1 if you've never played it! It's a sandbox game, which is kinda rare these days, and you can do lots of things you can't do in any other game.

You can do stuff like turn invisible and sneak up to an enemy, then grab him, activate super speed to run away while other enemies open fire on you, disappear into the jungle bushes, and then activate super strength to toss the guy you grabbed waaaaay out into the ocean off of a cliff, lol. It's ironically more like The Predator than even Predator games, IMHO!

You can also drive a car into a metal shed and jump out, then shoot the gas tank and have it blow the entire shed up, then grab a piece of the shed, activate super strength, and throw it at an enemy.

Etc. It's fun!

I still haven't bought this game (was gonna get it with PS5), but this little clip here is the tipping point. I'm gonna get it!!!

Getting flashbacks! For Donkey Kong Country (my first video game), all the advertisements said 100+ levels...the real number was closer to 60, with the other "levels" being the sometimes seconds-long bonus stages, lol.

@Scollurio Well...whaddaya think about just having a new trilogy altogether that takes place far away from Ep7/8/9? No Skywalkers, no Palpatines...just start fresh from the ground up, Jedi vs Sith?

I personally wouldn't want Ep7/8/9 erased, since I think they have the potential to have some cool side-stories with the characters that were created (plus: my family memories, lol). If only they hadn't MADE UP THE STORY AS THEY WENT ALONG, it wouldn't have been the mess that it ended up being.

Hey! No Vita sales AGAIN? Boooo!!!!

@Scollurio What? Redo Ep7/8/9? What a mess that would be, not to mention set the precedent that fans can just bully the studios around forever. If they do that, they'll probably re-boot episode 7 several times before fans like it, lol, and then just end up doing the movie version of the old expanded universe. Unless, of course, they wanna do George Lucas's "whills" idea, which as stupid/hokey as it sounds, I'm totally down for (since he's the creator of SW).

@AdamNovice To be fair, I'm a steadfast Mass Effect and Star Wars fan, so my standards are very very low. Join me down here on the bottom, with the Game of Thrones fans too! You'll learn to love it!

When was the last time that an entire game was retconned out of existence due to fan backlash? Lemme think...never.

Anyway..is it a BAD story? Or did you just NOT LIKE IT? There is a difference.

I hope you can hit your own teammates, even if it doesn't damage them. That's always one of my favorite parts in co-op games!

@Doragabi Okay, gotcha! Just tryna gauge if they're giving this game 100% effort or if they're 50% working on this, 50% working on a next-gen TR or something.

Personally, I haven't seen any footage of this in-game yet, and it honestly looks kinda fun! Kamala Khan's stretchy limbs especially, lol.

When its says developed by "Crystal Dynamics", does that mean the same team that worked on the Tomb Raider games or a satellite studio?

Yeah! Bring back 12-15 hour singleplayer games!

#NOMOREFILLER #NOMOREBUSYWORK

I've been wanting this game soooo bad, but it's soooo far away. 2022? Getouttahere...!!!

Hmm, maybe SNK going second-to-last means they'll show off something big...? King of Fighters XV gameplay? Hopefully not just the Sam Sho DLC character!!! Then again, Playism is going last, and idk what they're working on aside from Bright Memory: Infinite, so if that's the bookend to this event, then it'll be in line with a lot of other recent events of ending with a sputter instead of a bang. Fingers crossed, tho...

@gollumb82 Even the Pro is loud? Geez! I have the base unit (my 2nd one) and woulda thought a Pro could handle all games no problem.

Sounds like I'll have to hold out for the PS5 before I play this one!
