The dog is quiet
As of today I know nothing more about what Naughty Dog is currently working on. One minute they had multiple remakes and remasters, and the multiplayer game was canceled, and now they’re getting nothing.
They are supposed to be working on a new IP, which may have a Fantasy setting, but when they always state that The Last Of Us Part 3 is too far away or not happening, I don’t believe it. There’s no way Sony isn’t offering Earth to make a third one, given the success of the TV show. Apart from anything, they will give you more adaptability!
It doesn’t make sense why they haven’t announced anything yet, since you’ll be talking about Sony in general, but I’d like to know. For an acclaimed developer, Naughty Dog doesn’t have much variety, if you only count since the PlayStation 3.
Personally, I hope to do something new and something that isn’t a third-person action game with the same gameplay as Uncharted. I’m not the biggest fan of The Last Of Us and would like to see them move on.

Accepted behavior
It’s interesting that the Reader’s Feature over the weekend echoed Nintendo’s comments about the game taking longer. I was also surprised, and disappointed, by the response, in the way they seem to think it is inevitable and not something they can fight against.
Who knows what they’re really thinking personally, as Nintendo often prefers to drop people with vague blanket statements, but I’m worried that the Switch 2 might have a bad habit. A price increase for the game, at least £60 is inevitable, I think, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they made some live services or gatcha games as well.
As you read, they have tried it and if they think it is a good way to make money, and the method has been accepted by the majority of people as normal, then they will do it. Or not… I guess we’ll see.

small savings
If I were a voice actor, I would go on strike too. I will also be looking for a new union, because of the current deal. As stated, it seems very short to treat an actor like this when you know that you still need it.
I guess the idea is that the worse you treat them, the more they will be willing to put up with being treated badly? Then you can just wait until the AI can do the voice in any role and you don’t need to pay a human at all…
Even if they save a small amount of money is it really worth all this upheaval? In my mind it must be, but it doesn’t make sense to me. Just pay people what they are worth and let humans make our entertainment.

Not cheap enough
The PlayStation VR2 might be £100, and I still wouldn’t buy it. There’s a reason why retailers are cutting prices and Sony has paused manufacturing new stock. Not to mention, make it compatible with PC. Sony does not support it; without any indication of changing his mind.
It’s a shame, because the technology is good. While you can get a wireless headset (Meta Quest 3) that does not require a console, for a lower price it is no contest! The PlayStation VR 2 faced an uphill battle when it was revealed that it wasn’t wireless. Sony’s apathy towards VR has sealed its fate.

Baby steps
Finally! Legacy Of Kain is back and we’ve got remasters of both Soul Reaver games! I know it’s still a long way from that to the new game but that’s the best I can hope for. Especially when they are creating new merchandise, which has proven this is not the only thing.
I wonder when it’s supposed to be officially announced though? Maybe later at Comic-Con, I think, but maybe some kind of online event? I would love to see something similar to the Silent Hill 2 announcement for the remake and spin-off. I know Legacy of Cain was never big, but neither was Silent Hill, so I’ll keep hoping.

A long campaign
RE: big boy bent and nightmare downloading Phone from work, I have the same problem recently. I got the newer Modern Warfare 2 on disc for my PlayStation 5 and it wouldn’t even let me boot until I downloaded the mandatory (and pretty big) update and created an Activision account. The campaign was then treated like some hidden feature, buried in a labyrinthine menu, and if I found it I was made to download another file as DLC.
I then considered it appropriate to play, but when I returned for the second session I was expected to download apart part of the campaign to advance, swallowing another hour of precious free time.
I should add that the PlayStation 5 is at my family’s house, which I only visit every week or two, so this has been an ongoing saga for a month.
I get that Call Of Duty should be pushed as a multiplayer game, but can Activision and Microsoft not appreciate that some of us just like the single-player component and let us play without all the fuss? The whole debacle has made me reticent to play another one in the future and reminded me why modern games can be frustrating at times.

The purpose
That Gran Turismo 7 bug looks funny, it should stay as an extra mode. Although I would have it as a whole separate game if I did. It reminded me of Stunt Car Racer in Atari ST, which actually has the same bug, and I like to see them modern.
For those who don’t know, it involves you racing along what is basically a roller-coaster and tons of fun, even if it’s very janky. Sadly, because we can’t even get non-indie arcade racers anymore, I don’t hold out much hope for that.

Superheroes are tired
The problem with DC’s Suicide Squad games, and the MultiVersus games, is that they are beautiful to look at but not original to the gameplay and the world they exist in. there are no big hitters anymore.
I think that the enthusiasm of the market is not properly researched and when I see the game from the streaming channel, I am confused to understand where the excitement is coming from. First person games like Call Of Duty: Warzone and multiplayer shooters like Fortnite and Apex Legends, along with games like Sea Of Thieves and League Of Legends are great to look at and fun to play and watch steamers having fun.
I think I don’t know from the MultiVersus game, because streamers usually play because they are sponsored or just because it happens now with little hype, at least until it is forgotten and the players don’t have it. reason to keep playing.
I hope these companies will only invest their money in good quality games that last and are actually interesting to play and engage with. It’s really hard to get around this superhero-style multiplayer game. It seems like throwing money into the void.
We have seen too many job losses in this industry and making a game that is obviously going to fail is a terrible thing. Where is the imagination? That’s why I love indie games and developers making awesome games in a cheaper way, than big business people misreading players’ minds.
We’ve had years of great game releases so far, so don’t ruin people’s livelihoods by forcing great developers to make run-of-the-mill experiences. Let’s be responsible and proud of this great video game industry that we love.

Inbox well-rans
Fallout London sounds great and all but it’s been two days now and I still can’t work for more than five minutes at a time. I really wish Bethesda has helped out this, I bet the code is a mess for others to try and deal with.

I still can’t believe the PS5 Pro isn’t launching new games. That’s why I believe the rumors about the delay but I think Sony doesn’t care.
