Nah you were giving some solid advice. How the hell were we to know you’re SUPPOSE to cheat in a YAKUZA game. LOL . besides that part though I do love poker and blackjack in these games. just save, run over to the casino and make hugeeee bets!

While this may not be technically considered a “video game” by everyone, I absolutely can’t wait for the Tsukihime Remake. IFans have been waiting almost 10 years for this. I remember playing the original, and it was very dark and intense, even without voiced dialogues. It’s brought to you by the same company that made the Fate and Kara no Kyoukai series. While I like the Fate series, it’s a pity the other works aren’t as popular. Hopefully this makes Tsukihime a bit more mainstream. A new Melty Blood is coming soon too (2D fighting game). No English localization confirmed yet but I hope my Japanese will be good enough to understand it by the time it comes out.

I nearly forgot about this game. This had a release window of October 2021 but it seems like this was removed but hopefully it won’t be much later. You play as a stray cat in a cyberpunk city that’s full of robots. The trailer is pretty simple but I love the tone of it and think it could be fun.

Yo this was actually one of the only games I was stoked on in the PS5 showcase. The world looks phenomnal. I really hope it’s not a forgotten title.
Finally a game based on my life as a cat. I’m looking forward to this experience. FYI, i am a cat. This game actually looks really good though.
For the japanese/anime fans out there. Is there any good character action games coming out soon? I do miss playing japanese pedigree of gaming.

I am hyped for Timesplitters, I guess depends on how it goes but if it is anything like both it would be fun.
Other wise not anything major I was looking forward to short of Guilty Gears Strive and at some point Digimon Survive if it ever comes out.

image is broke as funk! Time splitters is the one that got away from me, would you guys reckon playing it now will even hold up compared too back then? also is there a pc porn?
I would imagine it’s aged rather poorly, much in the same way Goldeneye will have on the N64, since Free Radical Design were essentially an offshoot of Rare. I wouldn’t recommend it as a game to play in 2021, but it was wayyyyy ahead of the curve back in the day. Had it come a generation later with the online functionality of the PS3/360 era, more people would be talking about it as potentially the best FPS of all time.
The image still works for me, so I don’t know why you can’t see it?
Im thinking you blocked me! Why did HAZE suck then, wasn’t it fundamentally the same team?
I haven’t played Haze so I wouldn’t really know, but it looks to me like they opted for a grittier, more “realistic” shooter that had a lot of performance issues and none of the charm. Timesplitters was more arcadey, balls-to-the-wall and chaotic with a lot of emphasis on just being fun to play.
Ahh i see, Time splitters was just a good time shooter. Seems like we don’t get alot of those anymore, i can understand why HAZE sucked bawls then. That game got alot of hype during the early days of the ps3. pretty much forgotten now.
It was marketed as a “Halo killer”, like jeez, way to put loads of pressure on yourself for no reason.

Same with Killzone too. Sony was determined to make a halo killer for a while. Cod put the nail in that coffin and it was cross gen, funny huh. calling anything a “blank” killer is a sure way to shoot your game in the foot.
Haze was also just really poor, narrative was awful and I get where they went with the shift halfway through but it just wasn’t fun.
Killzone 2 was one of the strongest online shooters i’ve played. The offline campaign also had very good level design and the AI is still arguably unmatched. But it wasn’t what the people wanted, it was slow-paced and the mechanics were too challenging for most. They made KZ3 more accessible and conventional but it couldn’t save the series.
Haze failed because it was a bad game, but even if it was good, it still might have not been enough. Halo and CoD were just in the right place at the right time.
Honestly I played Haze years ago but at the time I really enjoyed it. I bet it’s hard to revisit though.
There were so many great FPS during that time that floundered because it wasn’t Halo or COD. The likes of Bulletstorm, Singularity and the Resistance series were great games that didn’t excel as much as they should’ve because they weren’t Halo or COD.
More recently, I’m still bitter that Titanfall 2 was sandwiched between the COD and Battlefield releases of 2016 and suffered as a result. Titanfall 2 is fucking excellent.

Killzone 2 was a shooter’s game, one fo the first to have really detail bullet impact and deformation of the environment and pretty fun enemy reaction to being shot. It’s a shame that e3 trailer put a level of hype on it that the game itself never seemed to reach but I really enjoyed KZ2. I really love the weight of it, but yeah, in the era of COD that emerged, noone wanted slow feeling games. Fire fights were more intense since you couldn’t jump around like a fish out of water.
it was complete bullshit, TF2 should have been the new COD, thankfully they made it FTP on steam recently and the number of online players swelled up, I got in some good coop a couple weeks ago. anyone who has a pc go get it!
I’m late to this but Haze’s problems were compounded by severely unrealistic timelines and technical hurdles as the PS3 was an architectural nightmare. Good video on it here:
