Ooh DLC for a sequel to a sequel to a sequel. I’m on tenterhooks.

I smell sarcasm.
Maybe this is where they walk back the separate disc drive purchase?

New story DLC to one the best games of the year, while the same studio is also working on a new title. What a crime.

Late 2023, but ok.
I get that there’re a whole bunch of remasters generally but when they’re making new content, being it for sequels (to some of the better games of the last x years), and working on new titles, I’m not sure it’s the right criticism to label. Sony may be able to do more but individual studios can’t, making games is hard, and if you’re expecting every game to be new then it’s going to be constant disappointment. They need to support existing stuff too.

Feels way longer than a year ago since I played Spiderman 2, it's mad that it's not even quite been a year yet.

Don’t think it’s overly beloved by the masses. A lot of it ain’t Halo banter, much like Killzone. Resistance 3 though is immense. You see, one mention of Killzone and I want to install Shadow Fall again. I'm one of the few who really love that series: with my eyes open, it's faults and limitations are there to see. I've always been slightly baffled by the fact there wasn't another after Mercenary and Shadow Fall. The latter iirc sold a couple of million, which back then was decent, wasn't it? Time for a reboot, I say. (See also: Jack and Daxter). |

The demand for a new killzone must be easily in the 150ish bracket!

They need to support existing stuff too. I think it's absolutely fair criticism and there's nothing wrong with pointing it out. As a PS5 gamer there's a dearth of first party games this year that interest me. I've already played the games that are getting remastered and they still look and perform absolutely fine. Sony chose a path to focus on a GaaS model and directed dev resources as such. Concord just happened. Last of Us 2 multiplayer. They're seemingly plugging the gap with paid-for remasters of games that arguably didn't need touching. You can't not call this out based on the fact they are "working on new content and new titles" because that will be forever true. |

What would we realistically expect to take up some of the 20 supposed games they'll show? Horizon Remaster, Days Gone Remaster, Silent Hill 2, Death Stranding 2, right? Because the only other one that comes to mind is Phantom Blade Zero but that's not out til 2026 apparently.

What this really highlights is how much better the PS4 releases were and how badly Sony have fumbled the ball this generation. They've royally misread the room, got fuck all to show for it and are now desperately trying to convince us that last gen's games with a few more bells and whistles will make up for their screw up.

You can't not call this out based on the fact they are "working on new content and new titles" because that will be forever true. They came out at the start of the year and said there would be no major releases so it's hardly surprising there's little notable 1st party to interest you. They set expectations early. Yeah, Concord was a dud (that anyone with eyes saw coming - it's interesting from an analysis pov but it wasn't on anyone's radar to actually be disappointed about), and we only got "smaller 1st party releases" - Helldivers, Stellar Blade and Astro Bot - otherwise. Despite Concord (lol) I don't think it's exactly a terrible year, though I'd always be happy for more. But that's not what I was getting at (though I rush typed it between things so my bad for not being more explicit). Criticise the slow schedule this year and general amount of remasters all you want, but when they drop new content for new(er) titles, be it a sequel in a franchise, I don't think the criticism that it's "just" DLC for "old" games is fair. Sure, it comes down to interest, but I would expect Spider-man Story DLC to be received very well and they should be supporting existing games. We can't criticise all output unless it's a brand new game. That's an unrealistic metric. It'll be interesting to see what the 20 titles are at least, even though they aren't new announcements. |

While Sony are dominating Microsoft they don't need to put much effort in, especially when a big part of their fanbase will lap it up either way.

There's a problem next year though. The small matter of GTA VI.
Assuming it doesn't slip (ha ha, Rockstar always slip).
That's a release date that will cause a massive crater in the calendar, projects will be pulled forward pushed back and generally doing anything they can to avoid launching anywhere near GTA VI, because it will swallow up so much cash and attention from the marketplace.

I'm thinking we might see MGS Delta tonight.
Either that, or it'll show up at Tokyo Game Show later in the week. (If it's not coming out this year after all - which looks increasingly likely, seeing as we're almost at the end of Q3 - Konami's going to have to say as much at some point!)

Perhaps some more Monster Hunter Wilds? Also maybe the price of ps5 pro anniversary edition?

Wilds could be a good call. If it's going to come out in Q1 2025, we'll probably get a release date before long; if not, perhaps they'll announce a (Q2 2025?) date at The Game Awards in December.

Here's the link www.youtube.com/live/fVs0suPHAX811pm UK time. If you sign in to Youtube it will tell you what time it happens in your locality - One of the best things about YouTube seeing as we're still waiting for the world to grasp the mind boggling concept of UTC. |

I've heard a rumour from a good sauce about a remaster will appear tonight. This isn't me joking either. There's a new remaster.

Remasters like this are ok (as long as there are plenty of new games around too). It least it is a little more due one then a game there was out barely 5 years ago! Plus, it might lead to a new game being made in the series. Playstation going back to more classic franchises would be really great to see. Most of their modern franchises have expectations of being mega-budget affairs. Perhaps having a few with lower expectations might allow them to have releases every 2-3 years rather than every 5-7. Playing Astro Bot, as well as watching a recent Retropals where they were playing patreon requested PS1 and 2 games, showed that Playstation had plenty of really fun (often very weird) franchises that have vanished. Such a great catalogue of games for hem to tap into and bring up to date. |

Pass. Heresy, I know, but they are just too old to be remastered, they need a remake. As much as I loved them, especially Soul Reaver, I've got no real desire to ruin the memories by playing a PS1 era 3D game with nicer graphics.

Agree. I could tell it was made by Aspyr as it looks similar graphically to their Tomb Raider Remaster. Fwiw I really enjoyed the games but that was like almost 30 years ago. A full on remake was the better option but I know no one is giving the budget for that kind if thing to be a reality so this gen is very much going to be typified by remasters of 30 to 4 Yr old games passed off as new releases because publishers need to have more profit for very little investment.
I do wonder what's going to happen when there aren't enough we'll known game series to remaster...

In terms of game preservation, this is fine. It hasn't been available for.. 20 odd years. And I presume it'll be priced accordingly?
