@grubb.wtf Hey Jeff, would be interested to hear your thoughts on Santa Monica's recent post on Twitter regarding no announcements for God of War at their 20th anniversary events - curious as to whether you meant you have heard something and expected soon ish, or if that was just a general guess?

It's been a while since I've admired how a game presents itself, but the title and save selection screens in #MHWilds have really stood out to me. Seeing your created character exit a tent overlooking the vast expanse of your current area is some of the best visuals this gen.

If you're wondering how Split Fiction came to be so astonishingly good and how Hazelight mounted what is an impressive swing at back-to-back GOTY releases, I visited the studio and chatted to Fares about the culture & setup there as they finished development: www.vg247.com/hazelight-in...

One of my biggest pet peeves nowadays is when people call old games 'outdated' or act like there's this universal ruleset games must follow. Be it in visuals or gameplay, a lot of opinions are often reductive to the qualities and design philosophies of some older titles.

Looking like they are just delayed and not on PSN just yet, but they do seem to exist as they're all on Exophase at least, and all with Plats! The Last Revelation: exophase.com/game/tomb-ra... Chronicles: exophase.com/game/tomb-ra... Angel of Darkness: www.exophase.com/game/tomb-ra...

@aspyr.com @tombraider.com Curious to know if this is an error and there are supposed to PS4 trophies? Think it's cool that PS5 gets a Platinum this time, but a shame that PS4 doesn't get anything at all.

By the looks of things, there are no trophies for the PS4 version of this collection, and PS5 this time has one Platinum, but only for The Last Revelation. Chronicles and Angel of Darkness are instead treated as add-ons, and don't have Platinums. Hoping it's just bugged for PS4.

That State of Play was underwhelming imo. It was ultimately an alright show, but I think unless it's something truly big or something I'm into, it's hard to get excited. There's so many games to play, and when they're all competing for time, it's difficult not to feel indifferent.

Platinum no. 67: Final Fantasy VII Remake Just over a year since I beat it, replaying this on Hard was such a fun experience. Somewhat easier than I expected, but that Pride and Joy fight really amped up the difficulty in comparison and puts a laser focus on gameplay mastery.

Am I alone in not being a huge fan of Tormentors in Destiny? Like the Lucent Hive are challenging and feel pretty fair to me, but Tormentors and their grab just feels super inconsistent - I literally have a clip of me in the air and it still grabbed me lol

Ended up putting together the game page for #Destiny2: Heresy - Act 1 over on the IGDB. This means it also shows up on Backloggd! Hope that's handy for anyone who likes to document their thoughts and ratings on specific releases. Check it out below!

With most games, there are usually a good amount of opinions across the spectrum that complement/oppose how I feel about it, but when it comes to something like RE4 Remake - a game I honestly found kinda underwhelming - it's almost an impenetrable fortress of praise lol

Platinum no. 66: Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy Easily one of my favourite games of all time, replaying this was so much fun and reminded me of just how well-rounded and perfected this adventure is. Really nice Platinum with a couple of neat challenges thrown in too.

Was thinking idk how they can top Rebirth's intro for how part 3 begins - the music, recap of Remake's ending and it kicking right into gear with one of the most interesting parts of FF7R's story. But then you think about Rebirth's ending and it's like "oh yeah, that's how" lol youtu.be/UAbm3jK3jWQ

Just backed this! Picked up a few of the mags a couple of months or so ago and they're great - super high quality, and a great look at PlayStation's past. Really cool to see something like this going, very much recommend checking out both the upcoming issue and past releases!

So I loaded up #FinalFantasyXIV for the first time in a few months last night, and so quickly I felt pulled back in. I've never really played a true MMO before, but I was reminded of the way in which this game captures you with its music and style. It's truly special.

I find it strange that the dodge/evade mechanic in RE4 Remake didn't get more discussion. Much like the OG, there is a prompt to avoid some attacks, but you can easily miss it depending on how you're moving. Even if you don't get hit, it never felt good and threw me off a lot.

BREAKING: PlayStation has canceled two more live-service games, from subsidiaries Bend and Bluepoint, Bloomberg has learned. Fans have long wondered what Bluepoint has been working on for the last couple of years. I can report it was a live-service God of War game. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
