God, I hope so. We waited long enough. And Sony was quiet long enough. Today is the day! :)

I wanna see an urban fantasy game. It is about time. And oh yeah I am bored as hell of shooters too.
RDR2 doesn't bother me that much because it's the wild west. It's kinda thematically necessary for the Western genre.
I am not super interested in any other games forcing me to ride a horse around.
Urban fantasy game sounds nice :) ND making a RPG..... man... a man can dream :P
Agreed. It is also super hard to do well.
A wide linear character driven RPG from ND with an actual story and not just save the freaking world plot used for the 10000th time. A man can dream.
i think insomniac makes the only open world games I'm interested in. most of what you do in those games is go from destination a to b so at least make that the most enjoyable part of the gameplay. Swinging in Spider-Man or grinding in sunset overdrive > holding/tapping the gallop button forever or using fast travel.
What? Who says that? Plenty of sci fi novels have enough non pew pew combat. And you can really go nuts if you go the bio-engineering future route.
Yep. No open-world. Wide-linear is perfect. "Saving the world" or their "country" should still be the goal, tho.
It dawned on me I was tired of horses too. I was lowkey sick horizons mounts are just glorified horses really hope they do more for the sequel(or just let me fly)
Pretty much. So much of modern games is just downtime, forcing the player to listen to podcasts or watch youtube video while waiting for a horse to take them somewhere meaningful. It's just not well-executed 99% of the time.
Agreed. Insomniac nailed it for sure, but inFamous had it, Just Cause had it, and Crackdown had it too. Traversal is so important and so few games care about it these days.
In the end it's a videogame and it needs to be "fun". A Sci-Fi game.... but no shooting? No laser guns? Meh.
They actually had real horses when they were making the gameplay till the narrative director told them all the horses have gotta be dead due to the story. xD
No saving the country. That is why I like ND games. They are actually character driven where there are real human motivations and not a plot point as a protagonist. I would hate it if they went the generic route now.
Couldn't care less about DF. But the reaction videos on Youtube will be awesome 😁
Non laser combat can be fun! Why not? Light sabers are sci fi. xD
I mean, take a look at Game of Thrones or A Song of Ice and Fire. So much is happening, but in the end, one of the main goals is to save "the world" :P
Wow, I spent 10 minutes talking on the livestream chat on youtube and it was kinda nice. No console wars, just nice people waiting for the show and speculating. Sadly it derailed a bit after the first mention of Xbox. BEWARE OF TLOU2 SPOILERS.

The only way it can be well executed is if you have a dynmaic world as vibrant as RDR 2's open worlds, which pretty much only Rockstar can make on the planet. They have spoiled all open world games for me now.
It is definitely not the goal in A Song of Ice and Fire, that story is not yet complete. The TV show is a travesty that I am not acknowledging the existence of.
The production values in rdr2 will be unmatched until gta 6. I used to load that game up just to walk around.
I'm suprised that is was nice for 10 minutes. Normally it's becoming terrible after 10 seconds :P
I think Red Dead 2 Horses also work well, because if you aren't careful you can die really fast. You and your Horse.
I remember jumping off from a Hill that i thought wasn't really high. Well i was wrong and my Horse almost died and so did I. When i went out into the Mountains i was terrified to ride fast because i could have easily died out there. When you are sliding down something you are acutally careful, not to oversteer, while in other Games you just press the Stick forward. That's what made RDR2 Horses really engaging imo, compared to Assassin's Creed Horses for example.
This is literally what I was doing a while ago, man the birds flying away in a flock as you approach them along the beach itself is just perfection in that game.
Then we might have a new OT very soon. With all the conplains
Lol what the hell.
"here's these cool dinos what y'all wanna do for traversal"
Dev-a regular horse sir
A huge and powerful evil (undead) force wants to destroy everything the lives. Sounds like "world saving" to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The dream is an aaa avatar game. I'll settle for elca dream project for now
The motivations of the Others are not actually clear in the books, nor have they really factored into the main plot directly outside of the prologue.
This is pure conjecture and has never, and I mean never been discussed in the books. The story for all we know may be about what the characters do as the world is destroyed around them actively (as I imagine Joel's backstory in TLoU would be).
Totally forgot that! The conversation was mainly about price (the Amazon placeholder thing) and which games would be shown. I'll edit the post.
Let's see how long this one survives after the PS5 Event + TLOU2 Reviews + TLOU2 launch :P
Yes exactly. The children of the forest have complex motivations in the books which are hinted at but let's not make it a ASOIAF thread. xD
Not a chance. Some of these games were allegedly planned for PS4 and have been moved. They will please everyone to some extent.
