PlayStation Official PS | PS Studios Megathread, v.6

[Zazen]

Were you able to get into the beta? Played some this morning, it's fun and the visuals are nice. Try to get used to all the speed gimmicks which has me losing quite a bit.

Yeah I had quite a bit of fun with it. It's not without its issues. I think it is a bit too chaotic at times and all the racers are bunched together. I think perhaps they should space the items out more and give racers some time to spread out. Also not a huge fan of the tricks in this game compared to All-stars. Previously you could fail a trick but if you did multiple you were rewarded with a big boost. I didn't really notice my boost getting significantly faster with more tricks I performed, perhaps just a tiny bit. I miss the risk/reward aspect of the previous games.

I'll probably pick it up at launch even with its issues. It's nice to have a fun kart game that isn't Mario Kart. I just hope Sega isn't stupid and releases it away from the next Mario Kart game with the Switch 2 launch.

That webbing ability with universal adhesion will be so sick.

Wow Veilguard already wtf. Bought it and got platinum, pretty good game that didn’t deserve the amount of hate it got. Not amazing but on ps plus it’s a no brainer to at least try it. happy with the other two. Haven’t bought them and interested to check them out. solid month.

Agreed. Grappling hook on steroids. Think they’ll give us a leg drop from the top rope?

Oh damn, what a pretty good group of games. No point in not playing through Veilguard now.

Well if it makes you feel any better I spent money on the TMNT Cowabunga collection, and while I have played it, I have not played it as much I would have wanted to in order to feel like I got my money’s worth with it now going on PS+ as one of the monthly free games.

I'm currently playing the remake of Dead Space on PS5 pro....damn...good game, loved it from the beginning to the end, just ended the game minutes ago.

I tried to get into this and I bored fast with the combat’s focus on limb damage to maim then finish. Do the weapons change up? I played for maybe 2-3h. Room after room, pretty samey. Glad you enjoyed it.

You have a lot of variety of weapons that you can make more powerful...buzz saw style weapon...flamethrower, powerful laser beam weapon...good game, it reminded me a lot of Doom 3, had played it back then ? oldie but goldie.

Fuck man this is sad. Striking Distance has laid off most of their developers. This is the team responsible for Callisto Protocol and the recently released roguelike title called [REDACTED]. I really enjoyed my time with both games. Picked up [REDACTED] over the holidays and it's very similar to Hades in a good way. Callisto Protocol is also a lot of fun, it takes time to adjust to the gameplay but once it clicks the rest of the experience becomes really enjoyable. I hate how much the internet shit on this game. It didn't deserve it and I'll always defend it against the haters. Gorgeous game too, played the DLC on the Pro and it's beautiful.

Anyway, thought they deserved to be mentioned here. Two good games released and now they will probably be shut down. Such a shame

'Most of the Devs' Reportedly Laid Off from The Callisto Protocol Studio Striking Distance

Can the looming USA tariff situation impact European stock of Sony product? Or are our products direct from Japan and unaffected on import?

I’m down for this. Love Terminator and Sega Genesis. Looks like a love letter to that time period.
