I get the hype and wanting brand new stuff from the current age.

But you could always go back to past era's of gaming, doubt many have enough time to finish everything anyway. There already is enough content out there to last one a lifetime aside from the chosen few who are playing games as a full time gig.

I'm actually planning on doing just that. The current PS/XB generation is... lacking. I decided to hold off until Nintendo announces the Switch successor and see if Zelda Twilight Princess and Wind Waker are announced for Switch or their new system. If not, I'll rebuy a Gamecube.

State of Play tomorrow.  I have to imagine that Sony is going to be trying to pull out all the stops to try and turn the negativity around after the recent disasters lol

Early leak... TMNT Shredder's Revenge DLC -- Radical Reptiles, includes Mondo Gecko and Mona Lisa with a retooled soundtrack. Should release tomorrow.



Aside from that, I would advise everyone to temper any enthusiasm for what Sony will show. Expect more of the same this generation has had to offer... mediocrity.

There's no way they do that.  Usually what happens is they stick to their guns, put out the thing, it doesn't sell well, and then they price drop it not long after.  They are most likely banking on sales by the most hardcore types and scalpers at first, but once that dries up, then the price drop happens, probably within 6 months, if not faster, depending on the sales.

UPDATE ON MY PS5 - Loving my PS5 slim. I know im late to that party.  I was always under the impression that the graphic upgrade was small over the PS4 pro.  And while it is smaller than PS2 over PS1 of course. It is still very much so noticable. And massive even.

Its the little things you dont notice until you play one. Sometimes its not even the fidelity. Its the draw distance. Omg I love this draw distance. I dont miss seeing items render mid race on need for speed or the pixels in the distance. PS5 can render a palm tree in good detail from 3 miles away. Simply glorious.

Frames are much better.

Load times are a NYC "forgettaboutit" GTA 5 used to take me like 7 business days to load on PS4.  A clean 30 seconds tops for menu to franklins room on PS5

And the ray racing is simply noticeable. And thats all I can ask for when graphics get this good.

Im loving it. The PS4 is probably my favorite console of all time. It saved my life twice. Its been with me through every trial. Though deaths and financial woes. It was my coping mechanism. And I love it with all my heart. Truly more than a console.


The PS5 is simply a big white PS4 with better load times. Cant go wrong.

More likely than not, Sony will double down on their pricing and remain out of touch with the average consumer. After all, they know scalpers are prevalent, which is just another source of sales to them. Being a mid-gen console release, I don't foresee the PlayStation 5 Pro's price point being dropped for a considerable amount of time, even with the backlash at hand. But, I'd gladly welcome to be proven wrong. I suppose it's possible for the standard PlayStation 5 to receive a reduced price, but that doesn't seem certain or even seem necessary from Sony's position, as sales remain steady. I guess we'll know in the next two hours.

As always with a State of Play, I'll want to see Bloodborne, but now my wild theory is that they need a big win  to run cover for things, and so along with maybe something new and exciting like a Wolverine teaser maybe, they'll hit the "Smash Glass In Case of Emergency" and reveal whatever is planned for Bloodborne lol It's unlikely, but they have to acknowledge the game someday beyond a brief appearance in Astro Bot lol

Hell is Us looks pretty sick, modern setting, but also fantasy possible souls-like.

A new Metro game is cool, too bad it's PSVR2, meaning no one is gonna play it unless a PC version will be coming.

I was only going to post about new stuff, but man, I'm so damn hyped for Monster Hunter Wilds, it looks amazing.  This has the potential to be just the best game.

Ghost of Yotei is neat, I like the first game enough so I'll check this out.  I think what I mostly wanted to see if it got a sequel was for them to expand on the Open World aspect itself, it was fine, but kinda bland in its execution, but was otherwise a solid game.

That State of Play is definitely not doing anything to change the conversation though lol

October's PS Plus Essential lineup is pretty good with the Dead Space remake and WWE 2K24.

Ghost of Yotei... finally... something from a Sony first party to look forward too. Hopefully it continues to be on track to release next year and doesn't get pushed.

Everything is revealed was kind of "meh" for me, but after 4 years, they finally showed something I can anticipate.

In short, The Midnight Walk looks fantastic with its unique presentation and horror atmosphere. While other games have been known to utilize clay as a visual medium, it's exceptionally executed here. That there's added PS VR2 support is an added bonus. I'm looking forward to this game the most, and I hope it's not limited to a digital release.

Being shown off directly after the aforementioned title, Hell Is Us is another horror title, albeit one with a focus on action. It seems promising, and my curiosity has been piqued with its modern, war-torn setting.

From a first glance, ArcheAge Chronicles looks like a mix of gameplay between God of War and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. After looking for more details, it seems to be a MMO. It seems great for those wanting to invest that sort of time commitment, but that kind of game is not for me. That's a shame.

It's difficult to assess Fantasian Neo Dimension from the trailer, as it's worth being skeptical as this is a port from a mobile game. From what I've read, there seems to have been given appropriate quality of life updates and features, so hopefully those are enough to remove it from its origins. I've only played one game from developer Mistwalker (The Last Story), and it didn't leave any significant impression on me, so hopefully there's more to offer with this game. After watching a different trailer, I can't say that this sort of turn-based RPG system looks novel despite how it's advertised. It doesn't look different from most other games in the genre. However, one part of the trailer mentions that over 150 dioramas were handcrafted as the game's explorable environments, which is the kind of effort I am impressed by.

I'd rather see time and resources being spent toward a new project, but I suppose Remedy Entertainment is going to keep adding onto Alan Wake 2, evident by its second DLC Lake House.

From what I remember, the difference in mood and atmosphere between the the two trailers for Dragon Age: The Veilguard is stark. It's not quite the game for me as far as gameplay, but this new trailer makes it look promising.

It was inevitable for Ghost of Youtei to be announced. It has opportunity, much like the first game had. For it to be successful, this second entry in what's now a franchise needs to severely improve its open-world aspects, though, as this element was underwhelming and, to be straightforward, rather dull.

Aside from only a few poor announcements like the heavily rumored remastered release of Horizon Zero Dawn, this State of Play was generally good, and I'd say it does well to gain attention from consumers with some of the most popular genres and themes of this time: action, RPG, and horror.

I'm more happy for Metro Awakening VR now as it's been confirmed to be on PC also, not a PSVR2 only thing.  I'm hoping someday that the games trapped on PSVR show up on PC so I could have a chance to play the Resident Evil games in VR.
