Feel right. Next week or the week after I'd imagine.I'm expecting some previews for Demon's Soul next week (at least I hope so).
or Angie22 our local pirate 🤣Seriously though I hope none of them get jacked by Somali pirates or something.
So do you think there's a container ship(s) filled with PS5's making its way to ports around the world yet or is it still too early and they're piling up in a warehouse in China? What about all the planes that Sony was supposed to have booked?
It's just wonderful to see. I like seeing Sony's devs getting to branch out to new IPs. It worked beautifully for Guerilla, and now with Sucker Punch. I really hope ND does a new IP next and leaves TLoU and Uncharted behind, and I also personally it takes the mature tone down a couple notches from TLoU, though I do fear that that will be their new normal from now on.
I wonder if the shipped containers are for South Korea, Australia and Japan since it's closer to China.My sister used to work at the head office of a relatively large retailer in Canada. She worked in the Christmas department (Christmas merchandise, toys, seasonal toys etc). If she was still working there right now, for the most part she would be working on Christmas 2022. 80% of Christmas 2021 would already be set and done. The toys/merchandise for Christmas 2021 are already planned, set and will be on a slow shipping container from China in late July/early August to arrive in time for the season. Everything for Christmas 2020 was effectively set in stone in Jan-March of this year (although I'm sure Covid probably disrupted a bunch so they're probably having to work on current year stuff longer than they traditionally would).
My point is that a lot of times, retail lead times are reallly long. However a console launch will definitely be tighter. But if you're putting consoles on a ship to be ready for November, they've been in the water for many weeks now.
Probably just speculation from Twitter or ERAI remember there's this rumor that says sony will announce their acquisition of square enix in this financial meeting
If this was true, it would have its own thread on the speculation and we would have had era insiders teasing something.I remember there's this rumor that says sony will announce their acquisition of square enix in this financial meeting
They've made 20 light hearted games and only 2 dark games.Naughty Dog should do more lighter story for future games.
It doesn't have to be dark & serious again... Even Uncharted have serious moments.
And please, something new for narrative presentation/design.
In my humble opinion, the way the stories presented in Uncharted & TLoU, while good, was predictable pacing wise for each new games; linear/wide linear, go to point A to B, banter/conversation in between, slow walking moments, set-pieces, scripted scenes, etc.
They could craft hundred of new stories, characters, plots, twists, gameplays, etc, but ironically, if they don't change their narrative presentation, the pacing would be predictable & same-old to me... 🙄🤷
Yeah, I think that came out of no where. There might have been teases that MS was planning to acquire someone, I forget tbh, but no one hinted a Bethesda acquisition.I don't recall insiders teasing the Bethesda/Zenimax acquisition either.
Is it me or they are using the PS1 style "Playstation" logo? I remember for ps2, they changed the fond slightly. By ps3 generation, it was gone due to new branding. (Spiderman font and refresh)
Bethesda/Zenimax has been looking to be acquired for yearsI don't recall insiders teasing the Bethesda/Zenimax acquisition either.
They should make a new AAA Hollywood cinematic comedy theme story where 90% of the story is comedy.
So Bad Boys 4They should make a new AAA Hollywood cinematic comedy theme story where 90% of the story is comedy.
Then maybe, this time, I'll give Naughty Dog's "narrative presentation" another go.
At least it's not serious again & something new from them. 🤷
You don't need insiders to tease a acquisition like Square. It's a publicly traded company.
While I think the series still have serious moments & not 90% comedy, sure, why not.
Anyone know what's happening with MLB The Show 21? It's suppose to be multiplatform right?

The videos previously posted was fighting monsters actually.Is the goal here to make reverse Monhun game where we play as Rathalos fighting hunter?
I think it's likely. Hopefully they nail it if that's what they're doing.What ND needs to do is a sci-fi space opera RPG with the quality of story telling and polish only they can do. Day one for me.
Just Cause 4 was a flop apparently so it's interesting to see if they put the series on hold for now. I've only played Just Cause 3 and the gameplay was very fun but I never finished the game as it got a bit too repetitive (also the performance was terrible with huge explosions).Just Cause and Tomb Raider is still Current Squeenix. We just had a Tomb Raider and Just Cause gmae.
Bold of you to assume that I didn't try to do it already 👀.Half expecting people to start tracking those PS5 filled planes in the next few weeks. 😂
Quality wise both series seem to be taking a dive, from what I've heard, haven't played either, but hopefully the series still continue. Tbh, I didn't expect to get a JC4, since I thought JC3 didn't sell well.Just Cause 4 was a flop apparently so it's interesting to see if they put the series on hold for now.

I still haven't played Shadow of the Tomb Raider, but I did enjoy Rise.
I would be totally fine with that. 😄While I'm of the opinion of letting studios doing whatever they want, it'd be lame to me if ND decided to do an RPG in an age where almost everyone is doing these RPGs and RPG lites.
Yeah they definitely gonna make another Tomb Raider at some point when they're done with Marvel games. The IP is so strong.Quality wise both series seem to be taking a dive, from what I've heard, haven't played either, but hopefully the series still continue. Tbh, I didn't expect to get a JC4, since I thought JC3 didn't sell well.
I think Squeenix said that Tomb Raider is still alive? So hopefully they continue Tomb Raider. With potentially no more Uncharted games, even though 5 seems inevitable, Tomb Raider games have a lot more value, especially for PS audiences.
There's something that always stuck out for me on the Guerrilla's/HZD's documentary. It was Hulst talking about how they saw the 1st party portfolio and they hadn't anything like a RPG so Horizon could fill that gap.While I'm of the opinion of letting studios doing whatever they want, it'd be lame to me if ND decided to do an RPG in an age where almost everyone is doing these RPGs and RPG lites.
That's the downside for Sony; the whole Bethesda/Zenimax stuff was privately owned, hence why acquisition talks could remain secret.
Almost every other noteworthy publisher that Sony could acquire are publicly traded, thus open to bidding wars.
Current Marvel Square Enix is far more boring than before it.
Tomb Raider, Deus EX, Just Cause.
But I'm sure the Marvel games bring them more money.
