I know for some reason people in the industry seem to love Remedy, but for me all their games are the same and that is boring. It was Ok when they released Max Payne, it didn't feel old back then, but then to me everything after looks like Max Payne on a new engine with the same atmosphere and storytelling style and some new textures (yeah exaggeration I know, but with some truth behind it, at least for me)
Yeah something about Control Resonant isn't really doing it for me, even though it's seemingly Inception x Dark Souls, both things I'm a big fan of.

Modern AAA gaming is so embarrassing.

These are literally just interactive movies.
Tokon, Onimusha, Phantom Blade? Nah. But interactive movies are what a ton of people want/prefer, that much is true.
 
Sony Santa Monica has only made God of War games that most people have consistently loved and looked forward to for 20+ years. Their last two games have made GoW into an even bigger franchise than its ever been.

So it's hilarious that all of that goodwill they've generated from all that quality is trashed the MOMENT they decide to make a game with a woman protagonist. Lmao.

Any good will i had with them was non-existant seeing the gameplay of the newer GoW games they made, and seeing footage of this new one where at least 15 out of the 20 minute snippet they shown off to make the game look good is cutscenes tells me that the movie game genre is unfortunately going to stay for quite a long time and to expect nothing good from SSM when it comes to real gameplay.
 
It looks like AI and where the hell is Kratos. A God of War without him just doesn't seem right.
Am happy there's no Kratos coz dude I can't the Nigerian accent of Teal'C the current GoW 🤣

I abandoned GoW 2018 in the introduction chapter & never played it again.

There will only ever be one Kratos for me T.C. Carson 🤩 the real God of War
 
Two kinds of AAA game. Interactive movie and generic dark souls slop.
Tokon is a fighting game, and Phantom Blade 0 is more DMC than Souls. Onimusha at first glance is very Souls-inspired, but it's more just a hack'n'slash, and not a very difficult one. Demo is available on Steam and consoles now.

Tokon was announced a year ago at the last state of play so it's not even a new announcement. And it's a fighting game which is a dying genre. Yes it looks good but because it's not even a AAA game. It's made by ASW a Japanese studio.

True, not a new announcement, but new character reveals that all look amazing. Fighting games are niche, but there's been renewed interest in them ever since DBFZ/Guilty Gear Strive, which were also made by ASW. SF6 has up to 120k daily players, and it's still easy to find matches in Strive within thirty seconds (after working hours). If you want the most game-like and least movie-like genre there is, it's definitely fighters.

It's "OK" for Rayman Legend retold ++....but just a 3D Remake of a very polished episode is kinda sad, I was expecting a bigger project for Rayman's Return.

All the others game are more like repetitions of what we already have, they seem more like the last movies where you can already see the same stucture/mechanism and as you cannot count on the writing these day anymore...hmmm:glare:

I'm just crossing fingers for the new Onimusha...

But I'm not specially impressed or thrilled by anything for now.:mellow:

I definitely want to play Tokon as it looks so reminiscent of Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom. No idea why Capcom didn't include it in their fighting collections 'cause I'd replay it again and again. :(

 
I seem to be in minority thinking new GOW looks amazing. Gameplay seems faster and more agile (which I prefer) and while Kratos is iconic no doubt (GOW is my fav series of all time), surely series has to evolve at some point? its not like it's brand new world that has absolutely no ties with Kratos.
Also, as an example both Super mario world 2 Yoshi's island and Mario Land 3 have "Mario" in title but he is not playble in either title, were they bad games because of it?

You call this an evolution for the GoW series? It's a devolution.

And why the hell did they make Deborah Ann Woll so ugly in the game, wtf.
 
Chuddy gamers are gonna chud.

>Cringe modern audience game releases
>Chuds do nothing
>Game fails
>Servers shut off
>Game studio shuts down
>Entire staff laid off

Chuds always win.

Gee. Imagine that. Nothing but mostly all bitching, whining, and complaining in the comments. The majority of you need to find a new hobby and new website to frequent because it's obvious that gaming isn't really your thing anymore.

Lots of great stuff to play.
