Jacob St-Amour from Link-Cable Writes: "The PlayStation 5 reveal event came and went and it surely left a lasting impression. The obscured console design and visual effects were just the few things that we can fault the show for, but the presentation was all about the games and on that it truly delivered. Not only are these games are new and exciting, they felt like a step forward into the potential of next-generation. Today, we wanted to take a moment to look back at the many great titles that were featured during this event and pick out the five games that impressed us the most and why they are our most anticipated PS5 entries."
Square Enix talks about developing Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade for Nintendo Switch 2 in a behind-the-scenes interview.
Why do we think this is coming out on Switch 2 before Xbox? Any thoughts? The S2 is not more powerful than the Series S so it’s not a ‘lack of power’ issue. Perhaps the sales forecast is higher on S2 than Xbox so that’s maybe where their priority lies?
It’s definitely a sales issue. If Xbox didn’t have players used to GamePass I bet it would be there already.
An interview with Oliver Merlov (CEO, Tarsier Studios) where I get to ask him about Reanimal, and whether he envisages the game to become its own long-standing franchise. I also get to ask him as to what effect being acquired by Embracer Group has had on the studio, and whether he thinks the studio would be open to working on its own version of an existing fairy tale. All this and so much more in what is (ultimately) quite an extensive interview… Enjoy!
Bandai Namco has some impressive titles for those attending PAX East and fans should be thrilled to see the games.
2K Games is there and supposedly Square Enix as well. It is nice to ser bigger publishers return to U.S. shows and hopefully it continues as I have not been to PAX West since 2019 as it's all indies and not worth the travel for me. Staff handles it but if this continues I can see me being back in Seattle for the big show.
What about the best game they showed? Resident Evil 8 ?
For me it has to be HORIZON: F.W, R&C: A RIFT APART, SM: MILES MORALES, DEMONS SOULS and Kena: B.O.S. - don't forget Little Devil Inside and RETURNAL.
I expect more at the next PlayStation event, Sony has just given a taste of what we can expect in the next year or so.
This is my personal list. No order.
1) Kena: Bridge of Spirits
2) Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart
3) Returnal
4) Horizon Forbidden West
5) Demon's Souls
LITTLE....DEVIL....INSIDE!!!
Look I understand everyone's view on HZ, RES8, SPIDERMAN, but we knew these games was coming, and in honesty I really was just expecting a teaser for HZ:FW, kind of like Spiderman Miles. So kudos to the talent at Guerilla Games..
For me LDI wasn't expecting, I had no idea about this game, and after a little research I'm more confident in my decision. The location's, the Art Style, the gameplay, and the depth. Not to mention it's an cross generation exclusive...
For me it was
Rachet and Clank
Horizon Forbidden West
Miles Morales
GT: 7
Kena: BoS
Special mention: Stray
