Just pre-ordered this. Lol
I also pre-ordered the Aloy one too. They're just so damn adorable! Expensive, but adorable.
Wait, what?
I absolutely love Neve Campbell, so this is exciting news. The cast for this show is off to a really great start with Mackie, Beatriz, Church, and Campbell on board.
Yeah, the concept art looked really cool, I'm very interested in how it turns out.
I'd be a bit pissed if MS bought them and took yet another RPG dev off Playstation lol. Sony really can't afford to keep losing this shit. But I've kinda accepted they'll keep losing more and more games, because I don't see MS slowing down.
Like, I'm still getting Avowed and Starfield on my PC, but I would've much rather been able to play them on my 4K OLED TV on the couch from my PS5. Not a fan of PC gaming outside of menu heavy strategy games. But I can't justify spending hundreds on another console just for that when I can already run them on my PC. It is what it is.
Yeah, I'm about 16 hours into Ghostwire: Tokyo right now and really loving it. Working on that and The Outer Worlds right now.
Bethesda was a huge loss from Playstation for me. They were one of the few publishers left still pumping out a ton of great single player games. I've enjoyed games from every single developer they had. I'll just have to play them on PC going forward 😕
Yep, Lost Legacy and Uncharted 2 are the top tier for me. Followed by UC4 and UC3.
I'm really looking forward to that game! Hope it turns out great, take all the time they need.
To be honest, I'm not the biggest Bethesda fan, so their move to Microsoft hasn't had much of an affect on me. And then there's the matter of me eventually snagging an Xbox Series X once more games I'm interested in release for it, so I'll have all my bases covered. I like to own all platforms eventually, but it really just boils down to what games I can play on them. PlayStation is always my primary console, but I like to have a Nintendo and Xbox platform as well. I've been tempted to build a new gaming PC instead, but I haven't been in the mood to build one, and I'd rather save the money and get a PSVR2, and then an Xbox Series X.
Wolverine was announced early because probably Sony feared leaks. Death Stranding 2 was just leaked so that is not an issue anymore. 🙂
That might have been part of it, but I also think Wolverine was revealed for recruitment purposes. It may not get reported on as much by gaming media, but a lot of studios are practically in a war to acquire talent for their teams. Especially since the pandemic hit and changed the way we make games, studios have become increasingly competitive in securing talent. Just the job alone isn't enough. Pay increase incentives, bonuses, PTO, etc, etc, are all nice, and many studios are offering really enticing benefits in that area, so it's more about "Ok, you're giving me all of these sweet incentives, but what, exactly, will I be working on?"
It's one of the rare times in the industry where the talent has a lot more options than they have had in the past, and will likely take an offered position based off of
what it is they'll be working on. And Wolverine, by Insomniac Games, is quite an appealing offer to a lot of talent. Hell, even if it's just temporary contract work, having that on your resume looks damn nice should the game release and be as quality as Insomniac's latest releases.
Not that fear of leaks isn't also a reason they announced the game so early. I feel like that reveal was largely a recruitment move than a move solely to keep a "surprise" from leaking.
True, but I think Wolverine might have been announced this early to get ahead of leaks and to help with recruitment. Getting developers seems pretty tough right now. So many studios, but just a limited amount of developers.
But you might be right as well. We'll see
Yeah, this exactly.
