PS5 thread 2.0

A proper expansion of the streaming feature of PS Now would be nice. Or even any kind of streaming feature that works properly on Android etc. Microsoft have really got them beat in that whole area. It's funny to think that at one point, years ago, you could stream PS Now on any Smart Bravia TV or PS TV. That was before Sony just decided to stop the service for the craic.

Alan Wake confirmed to be coming to PlayStation by Sam Lake. Very exciting as I loved Control and was wishing I could play Alan Wake after

As single player narrative driven stories go it's up there with the best of them. Combat wise is poor but remedy have always struggled there.

Sam lakes obsession with multi media and blurring games/movies/literature can sometimes come across as heavy handed (quantum break) but they have never really made a bad game.

It also has the best use of Roy Orbison in a video game ever so bonus for that too

Hopefully comes with the add ons too as that kasabian club foot section in Dlc was epic.

I think it's more a case of they're going to be expanding into this world and they need everyone to have (at least the chance to) played Alan Wake in order to get the full story?! Next Control game will have a choice of Alan or Jesse maybe?

Could well be right. They're working on a co-op spin off from Control too I think, so maybe both characters will feature?

That and the fact there isn't really that much there? Apparently people in the industry are saying it's a big deal? Aside from delusional Reddit fanboys, who cares about Abandoned and that gobshite developer troll? I doubt Sony or industry insiders would give him the time of day given his history.

If it's apparently a big deal I wonder could we expect something like the very first showcase where it was just game after game? Nobody gives a damn about a new controller colour...

Bring back Kevin Butler! Best VP Sony ever had.

I wonder what Bluepoint has been working on since Demon's Souls... 👀

An MGS 1 remake would be awfully tasty.

I can't see them remastering MGS1. Even if you don't Twin Snakes it by adding features which end up breaking the game, what you're left with almost seems like a waste of Bluepoint's skills. As great of a game it was and always will be, nothing short of a full blown reimagining from the ground up would really be worth it. The gameplay is a product of its time.

MGS2&3 on the other hand... Rejig the controls, add a few quality of life features, give it the Bluepoint polish... There's two games they could really bring to life.

Speaking of MGS, this might just be silly enough to be fun

Just saw this will be around 40 minutes so hopefully they just lash out game after game and don't drag on with 5 minute videos of games we already know, I'd rather new stuff than a video showing what to expect from Horizon or something. I rewatched the first two PS5 showcases from last year and they just hit so hard with solid stuff, I remember actually being giddy with excitement when stuff was shown. I hope it's similar tonight but I also want to taper my expectations.

I think Kena : Bridge of Spirits will be shown seeing as it's out on 21st September and there has been very little gameplay shown

New Matrix game would be class. Coincide with the new film and give us an updated Path of Neo.
