What will happen when Sony announce a new Uncharted, Killzone, Tsushima or Horizon ..

ChronoJoe44d ago

Ah yes, Killzone that'll light the world on fire.

I'm joking but I do wish it were likely or more popular.

shinoff218344d ago

I'd rather an upgrade over some fps personally. Like a true rpg not some action game with a couple of rpg lite mechanics in it.

Jingsing44d ago

To be fair Sony usually know when to let a franchise go dormant, They gave Killzone over 6 different games and it never reached that summit. You end up in a situation like Microsoft if you just keep hammering out Halo and Gears and Forza etc. Microsoft should be smart enough to let them games go.

I thoroughly enjoy my open world games, but highest interest will always be the shooter genre lol it's just something about a good well crafted shooter with lore to it something like the Max payne series

Somehow I doubt all of that spiel.

Lmao. Perfect example of the denial.

Hofstaderman45d ago

But PS5 and Switch still outsells XBOX embarrassingly even with overall consoles sales decline.

Giga_Gaia44d ago

At this point, I think PS5 and Switch sell more in one month than Xbox does in an entire quarter...

Ironmike44d ago

Stop being sad mt just enjoy ur console of choice and just accept there's not only ps5 in the world

This is not surprising in the slightest. The song will continue to remain the same.

Didn't have any issues with enemy spawns after the patch. Me and a friend were able to complete a suicide operation as a duo. Maybe ran into a handful of encounters that were true grinds. What I'm assuming is that people aren't actually moving away from an engagement they will not win. Getting overwhelmed? Throw a orbital laser, or a couple air strike and move on. You may have a hulk or two follow, but with distance between you and them they aren't trouble. Also, do not sleep on the expendable anti-tank. It's part of my loadout now consistently because you don't really have to worry about picking your secondary up every single time you die. Plus if your carrying one, and then drop it's stratagem you've got 3 shots you can pull off relatively quickly. They knock out gunships in one shot. Just got to learn how to arch the longer shots.

That’s one thing I always notice with a lot of random groups. They just sit there and fight and fight unending swarms shooting mainly with their primaries. Run n Gun is the name of the game. Like you said throw and orbital or eagle then run and kite the mobs that follow and take ‘em out one by one while your moving. If you have a sentry throw that down and keep running.

That's the great thing about HELLDIVERS the wide ranging mix of load outs and strategies at disposal and all work do I take a stratagem flamethrower or hope to pick something up and take an extra orbital instead ? Stun grenade or impact ? even placement of cannons needs to be thought about considering Bugs or Robots

They don’t seem worse. They haven’t changed much if anything.
