CC writes, "After spending a few hours with Visions of Mana, I'm convinced that the series is getting its moment in the spotlight later this year."
"The London-based (the UK) indie games publisher PQube and New Taipei-based (Taiwan) indie games developer SOFTSTAR ENTERTAINMENT, are today very happy and excited to announce that their first-person survival horror adventure "The Bridge Curse 2: The Extrication", is coming to consoles (PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and the Nintendo Switch) in 2024." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Torn Away is a peculiar game. Numerous technical issues do their determined best to spoil an otherwise powerful narrative; one that is elegant in its simplicity.
I've said this again and again. Single Player gaming is done by the majority of gamers on PlayStation. Most Sony in-house games are single player. Most gamers don't subscribe to PS Plus on PlayStation. Other companies wish this wasn't so so that they can sell you the rest of the game and monetize you. Skins and equipment that take up no space on a Blu-ray disc or digital. Drip feeding content through artificial grinding and fetch quests and through competition.
Sony is just giving the majority of gamers( single player gamers) what they want. More single player games. I think what most of these companies don't get is that the PlayStation base is skewed towards older gamers that have less time in keeping up with matches online. Gamers who grew up on single player games like Ninja Gaiden, Mega Man, Castlevania, Super Mario Bros, etc. And multiplayer in some games besides sports. But those games had cooperative modes where you played together on the couch like Double Dragon, Contra, Turtles, Final Fight, Streets of Rage, etc. Online games are pushed as competitive games like sports. And time consuming gameplay. Instead of playing together, it's playing against each other. A lot of gamers don't care for that. They play just as well as anyone else. But have nothing to prove. They just want to enjoy playing. If more online games pushed cooperative play like couch gaming back in the day, you might see more gamers online. Competition is fine. But it doesn't have to be almost all the time.
Sony is just feeding what sells for them. And It's working. Because I want more of it. And they said they want to make more of it. That's a win win.
Maybe but I hope not. In theory I'm OK with the idea of jumping to objectives, but they should deactivate trophies/achievements. Maybe have another type for when you get it that way? Call it "Millennial Trophy." We're going to give you something because you feel entitled, but we both know you didn't earn it.
@ Apocalypse...... Well clearly Nintendo bread and butter is also in single player and Nintendo more than anyone has relied on single player games. They didn't even have a true online till the switch and even thats half baked. Nintendo relies on single player more than Sony. Were I think Sony has excelled is in the different varieties of single player and the more mature nature of them. MS has alot to prove, but with their new studios, hopefully see a return to form.
