Sure, you know Alone in the Dark 5 is coming. You also probably know that, while the protagonist's name is Edward Carnaby, he has absolutely nothing in common with the original, more dapper Carnaby of the first game. But what else do you know about the game? Not much, I'll tell you, because for a game that was supposed to be coming in March (itself a delay from a 2007 release), we've not heard much new info for a while. So don't act too surprised, then, at news it's been delayed for a second time, this time to September. Bummer.
NBA 2K25, Alone in the Dark, Destiny 2: The Final Shape, and Bomb Rush Cyberfunk await.
A really good month this time.
Don't care for NBA but its pretty cool that Destiny 2 is now completely? with all dlc? available via ps+ essential for those who have it since years.
Also Alone in the Dark and Bomb Rush will be played through by me.
PS Blog - "From May 28 to June 11, take part in player activities, bonus PlayStation Plus content, exciting offers, and more."
Overall great deals for everyone I guess.
For me personally though:
• "players who join PlayStation Plus during this year’s celebration can save up to 33% on select 12-month memberships."
• "players who are currently a PlayStation Plus Essential or Extra member, save 33% on the remainder of your membership when upgrading to PlayStation Plus Premium/Deluxe."
Ehhh ... Days of Play last until 11th. My subscription expires June, 14th.
I literally am laughing at me rn.
Will see about getting my kid a cheaper PS Plus sub so he can backup and transfer his saves again. Really wish that was free ala XB.
Hopefully Destiny 2 The Final Shape comes with a free gear level upgrade like last year’s PS Plus offering. To bring you up to speed with all the content and everyone else. I still need to do a Nightfall Strike on Grandmaster difficulty, but ain’t got time to grind.
More like Days of Meh.... no specialized controllers or systems like in 2018 and 2019.
This is their way to counter Nintendo Switch 2 launch week. I might get the discounted annual premium subs, but I think the game lineup is weak.
From GameWatcher: "Embracer has shut down Pieces Interactive, the studio that recently developed the Alone in the Dark Reboot for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
Pieces Interactive, acquired by THQ Nordic in 2017, worked on the Titan Quest franchise. Its most recent game, Alone in the Dark, received mixed critical reception at launch but was improved with subsequent patches."
Like we did not see this coming. Pieces and Alone in the Dark, had a kick me sign on their back the entire dev cycle to release. Perfect example of not reading current market trends, bad forecasting, marketing and release.
The demo they released a while back didn't leave a good impression, and it seems like they were riding far too much on Jodie Comer and David Hayter to be the driving force to buy the game. They're both great actors, but their performance on this game from what I've seen felt very stiff/forced - like they were out of their comfort zones. It's a shame to see another studio closure, though, and I hope the people effected (affected? I always get it wrong) can find more work soon.
Embracer's takeaway from this will probably be that they should focus on live service games.
This game is becoming the next Duke Nukem Forever. It was supposed to come out in late 2005 and later 2006... 2007... now late 2008.
Both funny and sad.
the only alone game ive played was the very first one. hehe. so i might check this out....when its done.
oy...this isnt lookin good.....
Well, I guess it's ok if the game lives up to it's expectations when it gets released. I rather wait for a game than play a rushed bad quality one.
PS3's fault right?
just thought id get it in there before the xbox crowd.
