CG writes: Bandai Namco released the closed Network Test for the upcoming action role playing game Code Vein. We take a look at the Code Vein character customization which is quite extensive and means you will be able to create a unique looking avatar.
Soulslikes are punishingly difficult but amongst the most compelling games. Power Up Gaming goes through the top ten Soulslikes you're likely not playing.
Demon's Souls isn't Soulslike. It's the original Souls game. WTF? And Elden Ring?
Another Crab's Treasure simply is not.
All the journos claiming things are "Soulslike" simply don't know what that word means.
The term “Soulslike” has become ridiculously diluted. I have seen it used for games just because they are difficult.
Nioh 1+2 imo are the best souls clone. Love the melee combat and ki system, really hoping team ninja doesn't abandon the IP and continue with a new title, hell just give us your take on the western fantasy setting for a new nioh game.
Code Vein Official Twitter: "Code Vein has surpassed 3 million copies shipped worldwide, and it's all thanks to you. Dear Revenants, please enjoy this commemorative illustration to show our appreciation."
Funny. I was just thinking this should get a sequel. With the souls genre being so well known now, now is a good time. Wo Long seems to have sold pretty well.
Currently playing through the game, but I’m getting my ass handed to me at the moment with a boss fight. Two bosses at the same time, ones female fast and uses ice, while the other is a giant metal guy/robot that uses a flame thrower:
Definitely was better than I thought it was going to be, and would welcome a sequel.
Sony has revealed the PlayStation Plus March 2023 free games and Premium/Extra game catalog lineup during State of Play.
Dungeons and Ghostwire being in PS+ shows that MS are not blocking off their titles from coming to PS+, provided Sony are willing to pay (which is a fair ask).
Lol, you are getting desperate.
And careless as a result. You forgot that MS is absolutely blocking Zenimax titles from PlayStation. New entries in legendary multiplatform game series such as Elder Scrolls or Doom will not be appearing on PS5, or PS+ for that matter. Starfield isn't coming to PS5 either.
Well, maybe they can work out a deal with MS to bring those games to PlayStation? MS has already said they will bring their games to Switch.
For PS Plus Extra subscribers it's a good month with a spread of some big third-party games.
Personally, I hope Tchia plays as good as it looks and sounds.
I really hope Sony dosen't strike a deal. I hope they focus on what they do and let all those games fail now that they arent on PS.
@venom, I am surprised more people aren't talking about tchia. Been waiting for it since last yr. Awesome that is going to br on ps plus
That ps plus deal could've been worked out before. You don't know that. Stop spewing bs dude
Worked out before? They acquired Mojang in 2014, Zenimax in 2021.
Similarly, the PS+ Extra/Premium tiers didn't even exist until March 2022.
None of this stuff was 'worked out before'.
You are right. Of course they worked out before, because they already planned this for the plus service. Sony isn't run by a second hand car salesmen
@dark
So Sony, sometime before 2014, signed a deal for a game that wouldn't exist until 2020, so that they could bring that game to PS+ in 2023?
Seems unlikely.
Sony had to have been working toward those tiers for ps plus for some time, negotiating deals etc for quite some time that ain't gonna happen overnight.
I'm referencing ghostwire. Maybe you know something I don't and ghostwire had been in development since 2014. Idk what your talking about. Contracts can also be renegotiated to. You ever seen that. Happens all the time. Especially in sports. So it's not a brand new concept.
@Shinoff 2014 was a reference to Mojang. Dungeons (2020) is in there. Microsoft has owned that studio since 2014. So it's very unlikely this was a 'pre-acquisition leftover deal'.
Clearly negotiated a new contract and paid for at least that game.
From what the PS Plus staff have said before on the PS blog these deals are often made months in advance. They don't usually set these up years prior. However, things are clearly different in the case of Deathloop and Ghostwire Tokyo.
Sony paid for exclusivity for both games, and both games launched or will launch on PS Plus one year after release. It's likely a way for Sony to steal some thunder from the games launching on Xbox and GP the same month.
That's exactly what happened with Deathloop. So I imagine we'll be hearing about an Xbox release of Ghostwire in the next couple weeks.
Deathloop and Ghostwire Tokyo are subject to pre-existing agreements. It was likely already agreed ***with Bethesda*** to come to PS Now (or its equivalent) 1 year after its PS5 release, just like Deathloop did.
It's unlikely that they paid MS anything for it, and if they did, Sony probably availed of an option already stipulated in their contract which could also include a parity clause.
I'm pretty sure you understand these things.
PS+ Premium/Extra didn't exist when Sony signed the Deathloop/Ghostwire contracts.
Also, Dungeons came out 6 years after Microsoft acquired Mojang, so obviously no pre-acquisition contract existed there.
Damn, somebody doesn't understand that even if it didn't exist at that time you can put on the contract...
@Orchard
PS Plus Extra/Premium is a relaunch/rebrand of PS Now, and almost certainly did not invalidate anything in the contract ... unless you're claiming that it was horrendously written. lol.
I already explained this before you replied - "to come to PS Now (or its equivalent)". We know you understand these things.
Also, I didn't even mention Minecraft Dungeons, Orchard ... 😑
@Orchard, there was still a subscription service regardless. Let’s not all act like we know how the negations went or how they are conducted. Everyone here is a keyboard warrior, especially you.
Desperate Orchard at it again. You realize that all of recent & upcoming Zenimax/Bethesda games are console exclusive to Xbox? How come MS is not blocking off their titles from coming to PS?!
I don’t give 2 pieces of crap regarding the Activision deal, but Zenimax is a big deal. I’d take Doom, Fallout, Starfield over COD anyway. But the point of the Zenimax deal was to bolster what MS is currently lacking top tier exclusives. If I were MS, I don’t think I’d be giving the competition those games.
As a FU@ing Dumb early adopter of BF2042 (100 euros gold edition), one more reason for me to NOT give a dime anymore to EA for any game they release in the future. I will wait for them to be over discounted or free. F-EA !! The game is only NOW barelly playable ....
Not a whole lot for me this month. Not a huge deal I wanna check out ghostwire but I'd rather get the physical.
Why can't you check it out to see if you'd like it with this service before you buy? There's a game trial too, I think.
That makes no sense, just play Ghostwire from plus and get physical whenever it's like <$10?
How can you not be interested in Tchia?
And if you missed out on Immortals Fenyx Rising, that is an amazing game.
The customization in the game is pretty good. Nice that you can also change things around if you get bored and want to try a new look. Combat is Soulsish, with some nice passive/active ability changing as you go and using one's from 1 tree in another.
Boob slider?
Its really good, spent about an hr on both a male and female character lol.
Been enjoying the network test. Pretty neat and very hard.
Combat is very similar to Souls but with heavy emphasis on unique skills that promotes a very aggressive play style.
