Mild spoiler:
BB does something else very unexpected if you keep checking on it and interacting with Square in your room. Kind of a bit like Norman punching the camera if you do certain things.
Exactly. Game is fantastic. The continual new mechanics, upgrades, and gadgets, new terrain/environments, and intriguing story packaged with just phenomenal art design, graphics, sound, and music make this an easy GOTY contender for me (will decide once I finish it).
I'm only on chapter 3 about 12hrs in but from what I've played so far it is my GOTY. It just keeps getting better the more I play. The atmosphere is fantastic.
Great interview. The stuff about hands as symbolism in the game is very interesting.
Hilarious. I think Kojima would approve.
Seems like a good choice. From interviews I've seen he seems like a very clever guy who is passionate about games.
Bring back the ladies. God of War 4 was a little to PC for my liking compared to previous games. Over the top gore is okay but nudity is not?
Not a surprise early 2020 was looking very overcrowded.
Great list of games. A lot of my favourites from this gen.
Alien Isolation, Mad Max, Dishonored 2, The Order, The evil within 1 and 2 are all awesome. Little nightmares was also great (the ending).
I would add Sunset Overdrive.
Yeah, night and rain are mostly about setting a certain mood or creating atmosphere. There are lots of ways to do that. Variety is good. TW3 had great world building. I'm sure CDPR have got this.
Oh it's this site. Full of ads and spread over multiple pages to get extra click. Don't bother.
Oh okay. Cool, thanks.
Sorry but can anyone tell me what holiday 2020 means? I assume this is a US thing? Is it June?
I think this game will be loaded with microtransactions and other locked content and paywalls. If I am correct (which seems likely) then this is a definite wait for the complete edition when it's in the bargain bin.
Just realised quite a funny name. Sam 'Uncle Sam' Porter 'baggage guy' Bridges 'connecting places'.
Not so subtle but very Kojima.
Or...to play devils advocate, it is because Joel dies and he found it upsetting and wants to forget. Just sayin' is all ;)
I am primarily a PS gamer. Unfortunately PS Now still isn't even available in Australia for some reason so even making it available would be a good start.
Xbox game pass is available.
I think being a smaller market Sony doesn't bother with Aus too much so have lost some ground here to MS over the years.
Not defending Kotaku(at all) but it is true the gameplay hasn't aged well. The combat and camera could have used updating as they show the game's age.
Still enjoyed it for what it is though.
My favourite exclusive on xbox1(it wasn't on PC when I played it). I bought the sunset overdrive xbox1 console just to play it. Great game. Best respawn animations of any game to date and nice character customisation. Pretty sure most Ratchet and Clank fans would like it.
Hopefully it gets a sequel on ps4.
I think it is a bit like the movie Blade Runner 2049 (which I love). It is long, has a deliberate pace, and is not all action being a little more cerebral. The atmosphere is palpable with stellar visual and sound design, and there is a constant sense of discovery and mystery. 30hrs in and this will likely be my GOTY.
