Yes it's very telling imo. I'm wearing a clown avatar for a reason though so maybe I'm not the best to listen to when it comes to hype.
Personally, I just wanna play it but I'm worried about the rumor being that it's ONLY available through the XCloud. We don't have any such examples right now though but that'll exclude a large number of people from playing the game. It's always frustrating seeing people talk about the cloud as though it's some easily accessible tech. So yeah, I'm personally praying it's not XCloud only and that the game will still be accessible worldwide regardless if it's Xbox exclusive or not.
So almost a day after the Part I blog post where they talked about pre-orders, only U.S. customers are able to do that for this game and only on their Direct website? What happened to SIE's globalisation efforts? Kind of crazy as TLoU is one of their biggest games. Can't find pre-orders for other regions, and we don't seem to be getting Firefly Edition with steelbook. 😭
Everyone prasing the Cloud thinks all people have access to top tier internet and thats not the case, i hope is not only for XCloud either
That's a really valid concern and it would suck if the game was limited to xCloud, indeed. I'd lose interest immediately.
My hope is that the people reporting the rumors are conflating xCloud with the game being built around Azure as a computational backend because the game was originally supposed to be exclusive to Stadia and xCloud is Microsoft's competitor to that.
The game is definitely going to be playable on xCloud, like many other games, and will most likely rely on internet connectivity, but it would surprise me if it was xCloud streaming-only because we're simply not there yet.
I genuinely think that PlayStation haven't discussed the title or pre-order information with retailers in a bid to prevent leaks. They then went and leaked it on their own so that was pointless. I'm guessing we'll see pre-orders become available in each region in the coming weeks.
Yep, the GT7 online requirement is a bad thing. I've got squirrels in the loft (that's not a euphemism for my mental state) and the furry bastards chewed through one of the LAN cables up there, so I've had no connectivity on my PS5 or TV for a few days while I've recabled. I don't really see the harm in letting me do single-player stuff in GT7 and then resyncing once the console's back online.
11 letters name and a single word.
Let spectulation begin
Wait a sec, those aren't asterisks; they're STARS. So it's a game to do with stars or space, or maybe it's got the word 'star' in the title? Something star-something?
Christian was one of the Creative Directors on Driveclub. Worked on all the Motorstorm games as well along with ONRUSH.
Realisation Director position was obviously for Twisted Metal as it was listed for their "multiplayer action" title.

I've seen people describe the yellow cloud as a sand storm but what if it's a spore cloud? it'll close in on players in typical BR fashion but instead of killing you it transforms you into a runner/clicker/bloater depending on how long ago you have been infected. Would have really cool gameplay variety.
I also think cloud was about "the power of the cloud" (so the backend) and not the front end. This will be an always online title for sure.
Always online is fine by me.
Streaming only is where it would make me pause.
Can 2022 go down as one of the best years in gaming for the console? The line up of games has been top tier so far.

For me it is the best catalog of Sony releases in years. I don't remember anything like that in the past Generation...
I hope that in 2023 they maintain this level, but I have my doubts.
Yeah. And it's not even internet access, some countries just straight up don't have access to xCloud. So yeah, let's hope it's not the case. I love Kojima experience if not for anything else that they're just always something different and interesting.
Yeah. It seems like it won't be the case only because we don't really have any examples like that, but I guess the rumors got me a little bit worried and the fact that his previous project was supposed to be cloud only. Always online and even using the cloud on the backend is fine. As long as the game is accessible. Can't miss out on Kojima goodness
I'm wondering how people in the UK will be able to watch The Last of Us TV show when it comes out.
I think that there's confirmation that HBO Max won't launch in the UK until 2025 at the earliest. Do HBO have a content partnership with any UK streaming services? I think that some of the shows that were on Paramount+ in the US were available via Apple+ TV in the UK, but I don't know about HBO...

Thanks, both!
I don't have Sky (can't get a decent line-of-sight to the satellite due to trees), but hopefully it will be available via NOW Entertainment (which I've got bundled with BT TV).
The only thing that cloud can give you over using some sort of server meshing is persistent session. I can't see what gameplay advantage it would bring plus the fact it would be very costly.
such heavy copium that there is a post on there that is saying the 10 million number is lies & is fake. heavy copium is right indeed.
Just my 2 cents on the Naughty Dog news.
TLOU Part I
TLOU Part I
- Honestly, it looks great. Would've prefer to see the combat instead to really solidify the difference between the Remaster & the Remake but I could see them wanting to save that reveal closer to release.
- Oh, nice, It's not cross gen and Left Behind being integrated into the main game is exciting.
- If news about this Remake didn't first leak in April last year, This reveal could've been a decent surprise especially with it's close Sept 9, 2022 release date. Then folks wouldn't have to spend the last 12 months arguing whether it's a waste of Naughty Dog's talent or if TLOU1 even deserves a remake.
- TLOU Part II breaking 10 Million is really nice to hear especially with the toxic BS that some have against this game.
- The 2023 date sucks but at least Neil clearly states this is an ambitious standalone game centered on MP.
- Neil mentioning it's as big or bigger than their SP games they've done, Complete with it's own story and a new cast of characters set in TLOU really does give me some vibes that this could be a Destiny-like game. Just hoping for plenty of fun PVE and PVP content to do with my friends.
- I think we'll absolutely see news of Naughty Dog collaborating with Bungie to get the best possible launch for their game while smoothing out their approach for how they'll handle any Events, Season Pass, DLC or Story Expansions plans for the next 4-5 years.
- With that said, I wouldn't be surprised if Naughty Dog eventually opens up a new studio location while sorta transition into a Multi-Project studio like Insomniac, Respawn, & Remedy with their devs jumping between their SP Focused Games and their MP Live Service Games.
- Wouldn't be disappointed if it's TLOU Part III or Uncharted 5 but I'd be way more excited if it's a New IP coming from Naughty Dog.

I think this year is pretty unflinchingly awful, Elden Ring aside. One of the worst years in recent memory.
Its a good year (we'll assume for the sake of it. GOW makes it). Not quite sure its beating 2017 for me (especially when considering the Switch/Zelda launched then as well) but its definitely up there. Sifu alone for me has been amazing, Ive still not actually started either Horizon or Elden Ring as I keep playing more indie titles. Speaking of which... this year has a few nice indies coming up... as well as Sifu and Stray, we are getting Turtles! Next week no less, which has me super excited, that could be another game of the year. And while its not a new game, the Cuphead DLC has been long anticipated and Im totally buying and 100%ing it.
Retro collection wise is also real solid with Capcom, Sega and Konami releasing Capcom Fighting Collection, Arcade Stadium 2, Sonic Origins and Turtles Retro Collection. Most of my summer will probably have me back in the early 90s!
Next year can potentially beat it though, Capcom alone is going to have an incredible showing (and that's only taking RE4 and SFVI into account, if Dragons Dogma 2 releases as well... oh boy!). Plus Sega will have Yakuza 8 out, which automatically will be my game of the year.
Absolutely amazing year for me so far. Played the hell out of Elden Ring, Horizon, and Ghostwire. Got some Bugsnax DLC. It's been wonderful. Hell, this might be my favorite start to a generation since the PS2. I'm just fucking in love with the hobby right now.
It's really great to see that Naughty Dog seem to be expanding to a 3 team structure, as others have said I'm sure after the Remake, Escayg will move onto another Uncharted while Neil and Kurt create a new IP, there's a lot of talent in ND and it's good to see that talent get a chance leading different projects.
Also, I doubt we'll get news about FF7R-2 in this anniversary stream, but what do I know

It's a good year so far that's bound to get even better. I honestly don't get people who limit themselves to one genre.
I think it was a great start but it's starting to feel like it's falling apart, if the indies don't deliver it's gonna be super bland.
Really? I'm thinking the remainder of the year goes like this:
The Last of Us Part I - September
Forspoken - October
God of War Ragnarok - November (🤞)
Calisto Protocol - December
Hogwarts Legacy - Winter 2022
Would be nice today but that's pure hope. Did asia get it before official launch or on the day? Can't remember
I REALLY wouldn't expect VIIR-2 to be shown off yet. It's barely been in full development for a year. They have a bunch of other VII stuff to show at that anniversary stream, like actually revealing Ever Crisis.
Seeing how many excellent retro collections we have gotten in the past ~4 years has been nothing short of amazing. I know that these collections have always been a thing, but emulation has gotten so much better and (most) companies are really putting effort into these games.
I still can't believe that Turtles Collection is a real thing.
