If correct, that's a very good point. Honestly I was okay (as a simple observer) with their initial refusal; it wasn't ideal but I thought them more than capable at the studio to handle this universe with no MCU ties. As you point out, however, it seems to be in their best interest to have a good relationship with Disney, at least for the moment. By the time "smaller" projects like Venom 2 or Morbius are released, I guess the studio will have a better idea of whether it can handle all this by itself, or it's preferable to rely for a bit longer on this collab.
So damn good, too many games ignore prone combat.
It's so good .
People talk how other games close to TLOU2 but how many games doing prone animation like that .
This game doing so much animation wise.
I'm pretty nervous about the dogs being able to sniff you out easily, though.

Why are we here? Just to suffer?
That Death Stranding pro bundle looks so good. Would jump on it if I didn't already have a pro. I really want that controller though. Hope it's sold separately.
I assume those are private as always not to be reported but if he gets access to pre-order numbers from other retailers to know possible sales, then I'm not sure why he wouldn't get any from PS as well given they report more out now.
How you guys would react if Demon's Souls Remake is actually being made by Japan Studio and not Bluepoint? 🤔
Bruce out here doing all the messaging that Naughty Dog themselves should be doing lol
Good to hear anyway.
Interesting, although looking at the forum thread linked by Zhuge it seems the "rest of the world" markets ignored in the report actually represent quite a lot of sales. Who coulda guessed...
Make the thread worthy?
thanks! I'm not sure why when I paste as a link it doesn't show up.
Sad there won't be multiplayer but if the developers feel it's best for the game then I'm okay with it
I don't know if I would do my first run without it.
I played the first game with and without and while I do agree that no listen mode is the definitive experience I'm not sure I would like my first playtrough to have a lot of those frustrating moments I had with the first game without it.
I would probably leave no listen to a second run.
Ps. I like KZ lol
So is this an update that large or is this the game with all the updates but being sold with new packaging?
Ugh, that sounds awful to be honest. Has there ever been a linear single player game which has taken so long to complete?!
I wouldn't be surprised for a single SKU which plays on both consoles (probably with a meaty texture pack download on the PS5) but it's primarily marketed as a PS5 game.
I hope he's working on a new IP. GoW was fantastic and a perfect reinvention of the series, but still SSM has been making pretty much nothing but GoW for 15 years and it's time for a shake-up. I'd love to see them work on an FPS.
If Cory is working on a new IP it will still be in pre-production for probably the next year or more, and it'll either go into full production when GoW2 is done or if SSM expands to the point where they can develop two games concurrently.
Well, I'm at >100h in Trails of Cold Steel right now.... :p
Hard question to answer since the definition of linear single player game can be applied to games of vastly different types of genres, e.g SRPGs, certain specific RPGs.
Within the third person shooter/adventure sphere, I think RE4, TLOU and recently GoW come at the longer end of the spectrum. RE4 had a bit more bombastic pacing as well, contributing to a quicker completion time.
30 hours doesn't really concern me because I expect that to be the result of several things: a slower opening (it'll have action, but will take its time to establish several characters and the "event"), more sprawling combat with more dynamic elements resulting in each combat encounter necessarily lasting longer on average, and a slightly bigger focus on exploration, isolation and horror.
Mix in some potentially other playable characters (mystery lady? Joel? Dina?) and I think it's harder to keep TLOU2 the same length as TLOU without giving way to some essential aspect of the game.
I mean, it's not like they're in competition with one another. Aside from releasing a decent amount apart, they're both really different games.
Death Stranding will be fine, I feel bad for Concrete Genie. I feel like we should be seeing way more push for a game that is 10 days away
Death Stranding's still on track to be a very strong GOTY candidate. If there's a temporary victim out of this presentation, it has to be Concrete Genie. Barely two weeks until release and no previews, no fanfare.
Let's hope for some exposure during next week, though I'm not holding my breath for anything special.
EDIT: Ha, looking above, it's normal that some of us feel the same way. I think this is not how a release should be handled.

We got the (glowing) Concrete Genie previews already at end of July. Didn't realise it was that close though tbh, no doubt the marketing will ramp up during the next week and then the likely very positive reviews will hit.
That might well be their strategy. Though I wonder how their internal projections are looking, if they see it as a game where more exposure isn't going to lead to a significant change in its commercial luck. Medievil releases way later in the month and it's getting a bigger (not extraordinary by any means) push, with a demo and all. I still see a lot of people who have no idea what Concrete Genie is, while Medievil is a known quantity for many.
We'll see, it's a small project after all. A late marketing effort plus reviews could be enough to send a positive message, as you suggested.
This wil end up being the biggest State of Play so far, and many tuned in just because Part II would be there, and they really couldnt bother to promote CG, a first party game that is less than two weeks away? One that supports both of their main platforms even?
Of course I'm not going to act like they dont know how to promote their own games and I do, especially in a year where without major conferences they got huge engagements for Death Stranding and Part II, but this particular case of Concrete Genie feels like a weird decision, that's all I'm saying
