The Darkness, yeah!
Condemned: Criminal Origins is one I'd like to see remastered. Can't believe it's been like 17-19 years since them
Quake II is such an astounding package. I played through everything in it on Series X. Quick Resume worked perfectly, smooth 120fps across every campaign, and Call of the Machine - what a campaign that was.
Highest praises to Nightdive, and what a great addition from MachineGames with CotM.
What is factually inaccurate, or a slight to Sony, about that quote in the article you only read after getting called out?
I suppose we'll see. Again I don't disagree, and what confuses me too - the Switch demographic would lap this up but this obviously won't go there.
At the least, if we're really getting this game, I want a Horus Lego set.
I don't disagree but it feels off/forced. It's a Teen rated franchise and they made only one Lego kit, which is part of Lego's for-adults branding.
Jumping to Lego video game for kids from there seems like quite a leap to take for the next "thing" in the Horizon universe. A marketing decision or something decided by committee as opposed to reading what fans of the franchise want.
That N4G redesign really needs some kind of tag on comments showing if that user actually clicked the article.
Rather than play the console war game about exclusivity, here's a better question...
Why would this game exist and is there even a market for it?
I platinumed Forbidden West, beat Burning Shores, over 100 hours in that full game. The next Horizon thing I want is 3, not a Remake of Zero Dawn and certainly not a cutesy-haha retelling of a game franchise only two games deep so soon.

If they don't include it on Game Pass, they lose the claim of First-Party Day-One on Game Pass, and thus would begin the slippery slope of what's-ok-to-not-include and the devaluing of the service, and further sinking Microsoft/Xbox's already tarnished reputation.
Stuck between a rock and a hard place and this move buys them time to work out more future-math.
It sucks, doesn't it?
And the company that *is* announcing new single-player titles can't manage themselves at all and have both monetization and perception dilemnas they themselves created, problems so severe it puts all the titles they're announcing in a compromised position right out the gate.
Perfect Dark should've been an EASY win for the creative head of the Tomb Raider reboot, but it's in development hell. They cratered Starfiel...
If an Xbox handheld is basically just a Steam Deck or ROG Ally, that can play our OG/360/One titles with BC enhancements, and Series-optimized versions as their PC versions, with open access to PC storefronts, then I can see a success story.
But anything less, no. And even in this case, I'd see that as Microsoft's transition out of the hardware game since at that point, backwards compatibility would be a feature or component to Windows and any OEM like ASUS could ad...
How many hours are you into it at this point?
My friend got like 20-30 in and pretty much quit because of its mini game era. He loved and basically binged through Gran Blue compared to Rebirth
The way they've been showing off the Remake, it sure doesn't seem like it...
They way they're doing this is coming across more as a knockoff of itself instead of the way Capcom's been rocking it lately.
And I just wanted Concord to be a solid sci-if arena shooter in the vein of Halo or Unreal Tournament/Championship. Alas it ain't that either.
Astro Bot on the other hand - heck yes that trailer is serving out exactly what it needs to, I'm Day One on that and it was easily my favorite announcement yesterday.
Sony's been developing and publishing games for decades. I'm not buying that they're some newbie that needs time to figure it out, or some entity that can get strongarmed by their development partners.
@Caca
Because the real headline in the article is:
"PlayStation Lists Housemarque in “Single-Player, Narrative-Driven Focus”; Bend Studio in “Evolving, Multi-Genre” Categories for In-Development Projects"
Kind of an odd way to have posted the article here with that title and description.
Premium upgrades for last gen titles

Sony is the publisher. They set the rules. They set up the regions it's available in.
The game wouldn't exist or be as popular as it is without Arrowhead. They didn't mess up one bit, except for showing care and catering to the community.
It is an evil move for a corporation to take money from customers they're knowingly going to prevent from playing the game. How is that *not* corporate-evil?
You're just spitting back out the Sony PR line.
PC-first and PC-centric gaming is a different beast. Helldivers 2's popularity and GoT's popularity are because they're good solid games, not because they're from PlayStation publishing.
It's the same PlayStation that put Helldivers 2 for sale internationally, then pulled their PSN-Steam removal card. The same PlayStation that released Returnal with UE4's dreaded shader stutter. T...
Or... They're intentionally trolling you guys specifically. Because they know it upsets you so easily.
Name-dropping Orchard, after this many months? How long has it been and he's still in your thoughts?
Did you play Burning Shores through to the end?
They practically baby you through what should've been the coolest mission and boss fight. Couldn't go 30 seconds without Aloy and Seyka muttering a tip or hint. So irritating...
