It certainly seems like a game where you need to be in a certain headspace to enjoy it.
I love traversing open worlds in games so one built around that should be right up my street.

I love traversing open worlds in games so one built around that should be right up my street.
Getting it friday.
Still no idea when I'm going to play it.
I'll be passing. I am intrigued about the world and what exactly is going on, but I lost interest in the gameplay after that 50min clip came out.
I think the next showing will be quite impressive. The last time we saw anything from the game was over a year ago, so it should have improved a lot. Ghost is probably my most anticipated first party game now.
TGA trailer in 2017 sold me on this, I have this pre-ordered and I can't remember the last time I pre-ordered a game. Just the story and world are worth the experience, even though gameplay looks slow/repetitive.
Can't wait!
I am! Kojima can be hit and miss for me but conceptually DS is unique, looks cool and I want to support it. If I don't like it it's no biggie, my backlog is massive.
I'm going to rent it, the reviews are describing a game that i definitely don't like but we'll see.
I mean, I'm not Nostradamus. I was pretty clearly talking about an hypothetical scenario. Happy it's doing well, honestly looking at the reviews, it looks suuuper interesting to me, and I really can't wait for Friday now. It feels incredibly far away though...
It's been a day one purchase since before they even showed the first teaser.
Are we looking at the same boxart? lolLittle reminder how beautiful the japanese MediEvil boxart is:
I like the Steelbox art more tbh.

Ha, I've never seen that before. I wouldn't use the word beautiful, but it's very charming in its own way.
The steelbook is cool. But look at Sir Dan in the picture above. He's super cute :D And I like the MediEvil logo.
My bad... I was reading through a bunch at once and the doom and gloom made me a bit cynical.
I was referring to PlayStation as only having an advantage of first party next generation, not the hypothesis Death Stranding may not do well.
It seemed a bit doom & gloom based off of the same tone in this thread all year despite most of this year PlayStation has answered the questions about how they plan to stay leader in the marketplace and executing on it as well.
I'm not sure why folks are so pessimistic about what thus far looks like an excellent 2020 for PlayStation fans including upgraded hardware that will only make experiences with PlayStation better.
We should be prognosticating how great it will be and most of what I see is people saying PlayStation is going to be at a disadvantage for x number of reasons or has given no reason to want a new PlayStation.
I feel like this thread should be way more fun for an industry leader. Instead, it feels like so much time is spent on snark or prognosticating failure or analyzing things in zero sum ways.
Hear me out on my theory. The tone is like this because the majority of users (say 60/40) discuss games and the industry more than they play. And I'm not knocking them, much easier to start texting on a phone than commit to a game, especially these long open world experiences of today.
I think because of that there's an over emphasis on every aspect of Playstation instead of seeing the Forest from the trees and kinda ya know, celebrating as a fan of the brand.
The truth is, these days, a game lives and dies almost entirely before anyone outside of reviewers ever gets their hands on it. Nobody really likes to talk about games that are already out.
I could honestly not get through RDR2 for more than a couple chapters. So a game that double downs on traversal as gameplay just does not seem to be on the cards.
It aint hard to top Knack (barf), Shadowfall (Real good-looking barf) and Resogun (Sadly had to carry the launch lineup solely on it's back), on top of no Back-compat
Sony should give us a Remaster MotorStorm Trilogy collection with HDR and updated/tweaked models, textures etc...
all running at 60fps
give it the WipeEout treatment

Exactly, it would be so awesome !
I hope one day we would get that
I had a discussion about this with a friend earlier actually. I also got really bored with RDR and even if I did finish it I wouldn't say I was enjoying my time with it. Mostly because you're constantly on your horse riding from one objective to the next one. But DS still has me pretty excited because, as far as I understand it, the traversal is the actual objective in a way and not just something that'll be there as filler.
What games do you think we'll get?
Not hard to top Knack, and Shadowfall lol
The irony of that can't be lost on everyone right? An Evolution Studios game (even if only remastered) ACTUALLY meeting the deadline for a new Playstation console launch....
I'll see myself out
Since DS is about the new way of walking, would a potential sequel be better if he extended this engagement to other aspects of the game?
in other words, a learning curve to shooting, walking, climbing, etc...I'm wondering if Sam is a porter, what a soldier would play like in the world of DS. Hoping this is a franchise either way.

So my prediction/guess is
Japan Studio Game: Ape Escape
Blue Point: Demon Souls Remake
Naughty Dog: TLOU MP --- Launch Window
HouseMarque Game: Idk about this one since if it is AAA it could be far off from launching near the launch window

Since we're on the subject of box arts, I saw this article yesterday (and maybe it got posted here already)...
The Gravity Rush 2 one is nightmare fuel because the dude used Kat's creepy chibi model from Everybody's Golf, but the other three are on point.

The best way of putting how i felt playing is having GTA V's map be mostly forest/mountain roads/highways (or at the very least a LOT less city) and only being able to drive a pick-up truck. I can not, nor will I ever understand how people can honestly think that RDR 2's open world is anywhere near as enjoyable to roam as (just about any) GTA game.
Sony Bend ? They just made Days Gone and will probably continue with that franchise (and I doubt they have enough resources to do a DS Remake in such short time)
I would swap Ape Escape with Ratchet and Clank, I think that they are both just as likely to launch on PS5's debut (Insomniac has multiple teams + they pump out Ratchet games fast), but Sony would kill to be able to have Ratchet on launch. Placing Ape against Ratchet would likely end up in Ape Escape bombing...
hmmm that is true
space out the next R&C and Ape Escape then I guess
R&C being a launch game makes more sense too
I find it, just incredibly amusing and sad, that we are talking about PS5 launch lineup, yet no one is bringing Gran Turismo up. Frankly, with the sorry state of Polyphony right now, we are more likely to see Horizon Zero Dawn 2 or TLOU Part III before GT7.... Prologue
I thought about it a lot, and given my backlog and what I've seen in reviews, I decided to cancel my pre order (did the same for Fallen Order, though this one is looking better with time).
Black Friday is right around the corner, and I know I'll grab more cheap stuff then (hoping for Odyssey and Sinking City).
I can wait a month or two.
Whatever will occupy my Hilday vacation (10ish days) will be between Outer Worlds, Death Stranding and Fallen Order.
GT7 gonna be part of the launch line up.
A cross gen title but still I'm expecting it to be one of the RT showcases of PS5.
Yes, this is the reason why I think Death Stranding might hit the right note with me. I get bored with "press forward" type of open world games after a while (if they are long games like RDR2), but it's more exciting to move around in games like Spider-Man where you are way more active with the character and moving from A to B can be fun. I assume flat terrain doesn't require much attention in Death Stranding, though.
It's going to be interesting to see how Guerrilla Games evolves Aloy's traversing in Horizon sequel. Generally I'm hoping the open world game design next-gen is about making the journey more interesting and making sure there's a lot of interesting stuff along the way, and not "it's three times bigger open world than in RDR2!".
The GR 2 one really fit the NTSC.Since we're on the subject of box arts, I saw this article yesterday (and maybe it got posted here already)...

If they dare to release GT Sports (PS5 version), I would be mad (but not surprised)
Looking good, but the Bloodborne and Horizon ones are awesome.Since we're on the subject of box arts, I saw this article yesterday (and maybe it got posted here already)...

It's the sorry state of the racing genre these days. Like, I simply don't care about racing games anymore. Back in the PS1 and PS2 days I bought almost all of them. Today it's just like .... "Yeah, no. Give me my story-based singleplayer games."
But I wouldn't say no to a nice arcade racer like "Rollcage". Sony funding a new Rollcage game on the PS5 would be awesome :)
Give Firesprite a nice budget and let them make it.
