Hero-of-Time Posted May 16, 2024 Posted May 16, 2024 Lego Horizon looks to be on the way. Quote Speaking with sources, it was said that the game is essentially "Horizon Forbidden West but Lego" and that the game will have "realistic graphics" – whatever that means for a LEGO game. While the exact details of the game are unclear, I got wind of an advertisement trailer for the game which was completed last month, which suggests that an announcement is on its way (although admittingly could be delayed). But combining this information with Kuraksis' latest tweet, who finds the majority of his information via trademark filings, it suggests that the trademark has recently been registered (brownie points to anyone who finds it), backing up that an announcement could be soon.
Julius Posted May 25, 2024 Posted May 25, 2024 Paging @drahkon (who gets first tag for his avatar ), @Hero-of-Time and just about anyone else who has love for Astro's Playroom – because it seems like we're not too far away now from the announcement of Astro's next adventure! Per pretty dang reliable leaker Billbil-kun (dealabs): Quote According to our information, a new game from the Astro universe is being prepared by the Team Asobi studio . We think (although we are not 100% certain) that it will simply be called "Astro Bot" . The most important information we have is linked to the announcement date of the game. Indeed, we estimate that the announcement of this new game should be made within 15 days as well. Among other information we have obtained, it seems that part of the game will be playable in an environment located in the heart of a desert . One of the new characters in this game would be a fennec fox in the form of a robot sharing some similarities with Astro. We still don't know the release date and on which platforms the game will be available. That said, we believe it will be released exclusively on PS5 (and not PS VR2). This also adds to his previous report of a showing of Concord in the next two weeks, and Jeff Grubb having at this point tripled down on a PlayStation Showcase taking place before the end of May. The next Showcase seems inevitable. Feel like there's honestly a lot riding on this one, and a new Astro Bot game would certainly be a step in the right direction! Which is hopefully a fully-fledged realisation of the potential of Astro's Playroom, and then some 1

Dcubed Posted May 28, 2024 Author Posted May 28, 2024 https://blog.playstation.com/2024/05/28/get-ready-days-of-play-celebration-kicks-off-on-may-29/?sf273351644=1 Sony finally remembered that they have a PS2 library and are spinning up their PS2 re-releases again! Sly Cooper 1, Tomb Raider Legend PS2 and Star Wars: The Clone Wars PS2 join Playstation Premium on May 29th (alongside some other shit).
Hero-of-Time Posted May 30, 2024 Posted May 30, 2024 A few bits and pieces from the Sony business meeting. The PS5 has been their most profitable generation so far. PS4 remains an important part of their business. Quote However, he revealed that PlayStation 4 still makes up exactly half of its monthly active console users at 49 million users. "As you can see, our PlayStation 5 userbase has continued to grow significantly, driving to half of our monthly active consoles," Nishino said during a web call. "While the PlayStation 4 is still an important part of our business, our PlayStation 5 players are even more engaged than in the previous generation, and we expect these trends to continue." Click to shrink... According to SIE, PS5 users are spending more money and spending more time playing games than on PS4. PS5 users are spending, per console, more on add-on content (+176%), services (+57%) and peripherals (+34%), but 12% less on full games, according to Sony. Going forward, the platform holder said it wants to introduce more players to PS5 via peripherals and extending to new devices. Currently, the number of shipped PS5 consoles (59.3 million) is roughly in line with where PlayStation 4 was during the same period of its lifespan (60 million). This doesn't really surprise me. With games still being released on the platform, many people don't feel the need to upgrade yet. Lastly, Spider-Man 2 has managed to move 11 million copies since release. 2
drahkon Posted May 30, 2024 Posted May 30, 2024 (edited) I wanna get into the groove of finishing games again... Dropped Tunic quite far into it but can't be arsed to go back...Dave the Diver is ok, but not for me right now...started RDR2 and couldn't get on with it...Paper Mario: TTYD is losing me quickly... URGH. Haven't finished a game since ZeroRanger in April!!!!!! Decided to download Cat Quest and see what the fuss is about. It supposed to be a relatively short but sweet game. Now, the thing is: For about 1 1/2 weeks I got a little more time to play games but after that the weeks will be busy as all hell again This year might be one of the weirdest for me in so many ways.

You are right though, it is a very basic formula.

Hero-of-Time Posted June 4, 2024 Posted June 4, 2024 Quote The Taiwan Digital Game Rating Committee has rated the original Octopath Traveler for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. Octopath Traveler first launched for Switch on July 13, 2018, followed by PC via Steam on June 7, 2019, Stadia on April 28, 2020, and Xbox One on March 25, 2021. While the sequel Octopath Traveler II launched for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 simultaneously alongside Switch and PC, the original game never came to PlayStation. Finally! 1
Hero-of-Time Posted June 6, 2024 Posted June 6, 2024 Lego Horizon looks to be real. Quote The announcement of LEGO Horizon Adventures appears to be an inevitability at this point, as reliable leaker Billbil-Kun has posted another report sharing further details ahead of the public reveal. According to the insider, Sony will confirm the project during the Summer Game Fest live show tomorrow, but what's most interesting is the leaker claims the title will release for PS5 and PC on the same day. I wonder if they release more Lego sets with it? 1

I...have genuinely no idea what to make of this, and it's been doing the rounds for a little while now. I just...I don't know, I found Zero Dawn to be a really pretty robot hunting game with pretty middling content around that, and I still haven't got around to Forbidden West (though, I don't play all that many open world games as is anyways). I just don't see the pull of this franchise personally (which is fine), but now it's getting a LEGO game, there was that cartoony Monster Hunter-looking game which leaked in development at one point a good while ago, that PS5 remaster of the first game... Yet, by all means, it sells gangbusters and from everything I've read the LEGO Tallneck was a huge success. So, I guess that means more LEGO and more Horizon spinning off? Think I'm getting old

Glen-i Posted June 7, 2024 Posted June 7, 2024 It says a lot that I'm around 10 years his senior, and I'm still on the younger side of the N-Europe spectrum. Not a bad thing, mind. Somewhat mature conversation here compared to other places on the web.
