My buying plans for this year are pretty much already taken care of, since I backed WotR on Kickstarter and will get the key from there. Should BG3 release this year, I've got that covered as well since I bought the EA. Backed System Shock remake as well, so there's that. And Black Geyser Couriers of Darkness as well, which is scheduled for this year, but we'll see how that goes.

The only things I'll buy day one if they come out this year are Starfield and P5R port. Anything else can wait.

How long has DA been in dev? Just "remove online stuff" isn't cutting it if the game design itself is already compromised by the thinking it'd have that at its core.

Schreier has done more PR work for EA in the past couple weeks than they've done in years lol.

I wonder if they are control leaking this stuff to him or are they pissed he is basically live tweeting their dev meetings.

Anyways I'm happy its not a service game. Bodes well for the next Mass Effect too.

It restarted development in 2018. By the sound of the early trailers the bulk of the work they have done so far is just story and environmental stuff.

The game is likely years out. Lots of time to overhaul gameplay plans.

I know it's not happening, but Bloodborne PS5/PC during State of Play would be very cool.

I don't think we will get announcements so close to each other, Fanto. we just got Days Gone so I would guess the next one will take some time after the release of DG, probably heading to the summer or something like that.

Super late, but did anyone mention Uncharted Waters??? :blobeyes:

I played countless hours of Uncharted Waters: New Horizons through emulation back in the day! Loved it! Even if the graphics always glithed out after finishing a duel minigame! Had to save in game and restart the rom to reset the graphics.

It was freakishly good, and had great music. I especially remember the track that played when you encountered... I believe it was ruins? Where you had to send out expeditions on foot or something?

So many great memories!

We can always get a PS5 only trailer because if they do announce it tonight/today then it would release this summer max. for PS5.

That for sure, I was merely talking about the PC side, but, to be honest, Ashen, I don't expect that much from this Sony Direct, mostly updates from June and some new content, we will see but my expectations are as low as zero and, the more I get, the better, same as Nintendo Direct, hehe.

Yeah i just see this SoP as an event that showcases new and already announced games that are set to release up till the summer. If BB remaster on PS5 is releasing this summer than we WILL see it there otherwise, nope! Thats my mindset.

Phew Cities Skylines gets complicated the bigger my city gets.
I've now unlocked a train station and have to bulldoze a ton of central buildings to lay some tracks.
Also i outlet my poop into the bay but there is no water current and so i've created a permanent poop lake. I've moved the outlets to a river but the poop remains. Ill have to put up some 'swim at your own risk' signs. Its like being back on Southend beach.

Yo that's one good looking bundle.
The Vagrant is excellent, highly recommended. Tier 2 in general looks really good.
Already have Moonlighter, but I've been wanting Iconoclasts for a while now, and that 3€ extra for Tier 3 is quite cheaper than it's ever been in a sale.

I'll gladly buy moonlighter from you if you decide to sell it. 🙂

This is what I'm afraid of as well. Look what happened with Torchlight 3...

Well, Outriders was disappointing. Pass.

To sum it up, it's a boring cover shooter with superpowers tacked on. The shooting is similar to Gears of War, which is not surprising since People Can Fly have worked on it in the past.

I tried Outriders. It's fun and decentm at least for the 30 min until it crashed.

Question is, will I use my time on a fun and decent tps when there's so many other great games out there waiting to be played?

Posting my screens from Outriders
Change the face or head to be able to get darker skin tones for that face

Game stutters on my GTX 970M 6 GB and i7-6700HQ CPU, which I should not be too surprised about when trying to play it in a mix of Medium and High settings. THough hopefully the final release will have better optimization

Good news for DA, I really looked forward to seeing what follows Trespasser. Development hell and flaws or not, Inquisition had really good points.

I still resent that it had Denuvo and all the crap Bioware management and EA pulled over it, but there was a good game hidden under all that.

What was the last good Bioware game? It's called being realistic.

I'd rather have no hopes and be surprised than having high hopes and be let down.

Mass Effect 3’s ending sucked but the game was still great. Inquisition had a good story and great characters but was bogged by being forced to use Frostbite instead of UE.

Both were acclaimed award winning titles not sure what ya’ll are expecting here \(ツ)/

Jim Ryan said as much.
He was quoted to say that a "whole slate" of them is on the way starting with Days Gone this spring.
"There was no massive adverse reaction to it. So we will continue to take mission steps in this direction. "

There is obviously a meaty list of AAA SIE games in the pipeline for PC. I strongly doubt only Days Gone will actually release in 2021, Bloodborne could definitely come out this year along with God of War (October-November is my guess).

A game each season (Spring-Summer-Autumn-Winter) would make their releases well organized and continued.
