This game actually seems interesting. More Horizon is always good. It's just strange it wouldn't have shown up at the State of Play.

@Jacko11 Get excited for that PlatinumTrophy

2 things that I don't think are going to happen at SGF: Starfield won't be announced for PS5 yet, and no new Resident Evil game will be announced. Starfield will come to PS5, but not until after the DLC launches (I'm gonna predict probably fall 2025 for PS5 Starfield). And every one of the last 5 Resident Evil games (VII, Village, 2/3/4 remakes) have all been announced at Playstation events, with all but 1 (RE3make) being announced at a June Playstation event. I think we'll hear about the next RE game at PS likely September event.

I'm not expecting much. June is no longer the massive showcase it used to be. SGF usually disappoints and the only big show is going to be the Xbox showcase and we all know how that will play out: xbots will say Xbox is back and hype everything and then everyone will forget about it when the games either don't come out or come out to middling or poor reception. It happens literally every year with Xbox. I'm just tired of Playstation holding back.

@Gamer_X Wow, I stand corrected. I'm so sorry. I didn't realize until you slowly laid it out and shoved it down my throat. Of course, my mistake master. Please forgive me, master. I submit myself for discipline oh chief of the grammar police. God have mercy on my soul.

It was okay. I kept my expectations in check seeing as it was a State of Play and not a Showcase. Astro Bot was the clear heavy weight and I can't wait for that one. Concord looks fine, I'm just not the target audience for it (I wish it had a SP campaign). I'm just tired of Sony holding back. It's been 4 years for a number of Sony studios, how much longer are they going to keep Naughty Dog, Sucker Punch, Bluepoint, Bend (5 years) under wraps?

@Gamer_X It wasn't a showcase.

My guess is this game will do well, it's just not aimed at the typical Playstation gamer. Clearly, this is targeting the Overwatch crowd.

I hope it's 100% first party. It's time for Naughty Dog, Sucker Punch, Bluepoint, and possibly Bend to unveil what they are working on. Those studios in particular have been quiet for way too long. Also, I hope Astrobot makes an appearance.

Last week it was reported RE1 was being remade and RE9 was being announced in June. This week, it's RE9 is delayed to 2025/6 and Code Veronica and Zero are being remade, but not RE1 or RE5. I'm just gonna sit back and wait for Capcom to announce something before indulging in any of these rumors.

Eh, it'll be on PS5 next year.

@J-Dubs Venom isn't even officially announced. I have to believe that Naughty Dog, Sucker Punch, Bend, Bluepoint, Housemarque, Team Asobi, etc. have to be ready to show something. Naughty Dog's new IP has been in the works for, at least, 3 years. It's been 4 years since Ghost of Tsushima launched. Bluepoint has been silent since Demon's Souls (I think they might be working on Uncharted). Bend's last game was in 2019, a whole 5 years ago. Team Asobi's last game was a tech demo (albeit an excellent one) in 2020. Housemarque launched Returnal 3 years ago. Hell, Sony Santa Monica should even have something to show as Cory Barlog's new game will have been in development for about 5 years at this point. If they aren't going to pull the veil back now, then when?

Look for a Game Pass price hike very soon.

@XenonKnight Xbox isn't going to exist much longer. It's Microsoft Gaming, not Xbox gaming.

This will give me an excuse to actually play Crime Boss: Rockay City. I'm not too sore about all of the Final Fantasy titles leaving the service as I own them already anyway.

@UltimateOtaku91 If Xbox didn't care, they would report their sales numbers. They haven't since like 2017, which tells me that they do care and the don't want people to know how badly they are doing.

I hope this means we'll actually see first party games at the rumored PS Showcase.

@Mikey856 I think we're going to get that (though maybe Sam in the Sully role instead of Nate). But it's going to come from a different studio.

I'm mainly a console gamer, but I'm glad PS is branching out to PC. It leads to higher sales and higher player interaction making their games more successful.

I'm convinced that Ninja Theory's and MachineGames's days are numbered. Hellblade 2 and Indiana Jones won't sell enough to keep them around. Obsidian might survive being assigned to work on Fallout/TES. But Xbox is officially dead. You can blame old man Spencer for getting MS to actually pay attention to them.

I said this would happen during the ABK saga. It's why Xbox games are now going multiplatform. Phil Spencer created this mess by convincing MS to spend over $80 billion on acquisitions.

My guess is that the game will release to good reviews, possibly win a BAFTA. Fail to reach sales targets because of Game Pass, launch on PS5 next year, and then Ninja Theory will be closed.

Ok Capcom, now use some of that money to remake/reboot Dino Crisis.

This is not surprising at all. There is no way Microsoft will want to lose out on all those potential sales dollars by putting CoD on Game Pass.

If it weren't for Xbox closing studios for no reason, Andrew Wilson would be the most asinine sounding person in the games industry right now.

My guess is Sony's first party will show up big for the rumored to soon be happening showcase. If not, then we've got a problem.

@GADG3Tx87 Game Pass is not sustainable. It's why MS is suddenly bringing all of their games to the competition.

This is just absurd, but not at all surprising. I said, after Redfall's disastrous launch, that Arkane Austin would be culled and here it is. On top of that, Xbox killed the studio that made their best game in years (Tango Gameworks). It's time for Phil Spencer and especially Matt Booty (he's been nothing but an embarrassment) to go.

I'm so shocked (not really). Activision thinks that only Call of Duty matters.

Can I just say that this is one of the dumbest controversies I've ever seen....this week?

@Ashina According to reddit, mostly but with only one hand.

@MrBook It's been a steady decline for years. This isn't new.

I've been playing it on PS5 and it is night and day when compared to the PS4 version. The game runs at a pretty smooth 60 FPS, there are higher res textures (still not even remotely close to the upper tier of PS4 games), and a number of broken features from the PS4 version have been fixed. That said, the game is still very buggy. People need to stop just saying "well that's Bethesda" when it comes to bugs. There are people looking for the tiniest flaws in Spider-Man 2 just to trash Insomniac. Spider-Man 2 runs and looks like a dream compared to this leaky ship. Bethesda need a new engine (badly) and they need better QA.

@GamingFan4Lyf That's if any of them actually wants game pass. I've had game pass and I have no desire to go back and resubscribe.

I only just started playing 4 for this first time last week. But already, this PS5 update is so much better.

Will this release before or after Deep Down?

@carlos82 I think it's a PS5 issue. We've seen a few games behave strangely on PS5. I don't think the DLC breaks on PS4. Bethesda should create a fix, but, being owned by MS, I'm guessing it's not a priority. I guess, on PS5, just stream the DLCs for the PS4 version?

@carlos82 Yep, the Automatron and Wastelander Workshop DLCs are broken. Classic Bethesda. Hopefully, that will be fixed with the PS5 version, but it's Bethesda. They refuse to give up on their leaky, broken game engine. So who knows?

@SirSephy Um, I've beaten RE7 several times. Never, once in VR. It's not required.

I'll definitely pick up physical versions of all 3 for PS5 if they become available.

Yay, more consolidation....I thought we were done with this.

Kind of shocked it's taken this long. I know Sony had a 2 year exclusive period, but that ended last year. Either way, this is a great game and it's great more gamers will get to play it. Though, Xbox gamers need to buy it. More sales means a better chance for a sequel.

@nessisonett I agree. I'd rather a mostly linear, narrative driven game than an empty, soulless open world.

I hope that Sony patches their other PC releases to support trophies.

@munkholt click the 3 dots next to the download/stream buttons, that'll bring up the options to buy

Watch out, Xbox fanboys are going to try to use this as evidence that the game is failing (it's not).

@Anthony_Daniels So, essentially, it tells that AT LEAST 2 million copies have been sold, but the number is likely higher.

@ShadowofTwilight I do wonder how much of the code could have been just removed. There's a mod for Uncharted on PC that cuts down the install by like 30 GB or something.

Glad to see Rise of the Ronin doing well. I'm having a blast with it and trying to finish it before April 26.
