RGG is showing off their next game in late September, it definitely won't be Kiwami 3

Probably something related to Judgement if i had to guess. Could be looking too much into it but it does seem like they've indirectly set up a release cycle with how they've lined up their games

Mainline Yakuza -> judgement game -> random Yakuza side projects/remake -> repeat

Huge fan of the Judgment games and some of the characters cameos in the last few Yakuzas

 

[Tw1ster]

I’m cautiously optimistic for Dragon Age Veilguard. The combat looks pretty fun and the early impressions seemed to be quite positive

We may have gotten a bit of an idea what their next game is;

Going by RGG: This could be like, a Kazma sidestory, or a full ass RTS game. Never know with those crazy bastards.

2 weeks (plus a day) away from Wukong!

Looking like everything is all set to go for the August 20th launch. Can't remember the last time I've looked forward to a game this much for this long.

I just watched the two videos they have up on the PS Store and I love the character/monster designs and the sense of scale is very impressive! They didn't show any gameplay, what's it supposed to play like?

According to the wiki:

The combat in Black Myth: Wukong places a great emphasis on speed and relentless offense instead of slower, and calculated attacks like you'd see from Dark Souls. Due to the nature of Sun Wukong, he is known for his great speed and strength, so making the most of his agility will be crucial in attaining victory between combat encounters. And since you can dodge almost instantaneously, players would be able to make use of their fast reflexes and dodge at a moment's notice.

I like that they made an intentional distinction from Dark Souls. It seems like every kind of game like this that comes out immediately gets tagged as "Souls-like" or somehow compared to Souls.

There's no blocking, so dodging is the main defensive maneuver. Wukong is also known for his ability to shape-shift, so there will be a variety of different forms that you can assume and these will each have their own abilities and uses, combat and otherwise. I'm sure this will add a TON of variety in how you can interact with the world and perform combat.

Space Marine 2 looks fantastic.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

One is already out I just don't have it yet, and that's paper Mario thousand year door.

Then there is Legend of Zelda Echos of wisdom, I'm all in on ANYTHING Zelda can't wait for the movie.

Mario and Luigi brothership.

Another one already out but I don't have it yet Mario Wonder.

Donkey Kong Country returns.

My Switch doesn't get a lot of use that's about to change.

Phantom Blade 0

Black Myth Wukong been looking forward to that for 2 years.

Marvel's Wolverine

The new Doom.

I could go on forever.

There is SO MUCH

After trying and failing to get into Sekiro, Bloodborne, and Elden Ring, I learned that From games aren't for me so this style of combat in Wukong sounds awesome. It's definitely one I'll keep an eye and snag when it goes on sale. A demo would be great!

Same here, I could never really get too into the From games. I was very happy they made the distinction.




Final trailer before launch just dropped, confirmed for August 20th launch!

 

[Blitzkrug]

It looks ****ing dope, i will give it that.

IMO it still has a bit of an uphill climb given iirc this is a Chinese dev taking their first legitimate run at making a AAA type game. And the fact it's running on Unreal 5 which might make for some technical hiccups.

But everything they've shown thus far looks like it'll live up to the mountainous expectations they've set.

Will be watching and rooting for it. If it reviews well i'm so in because the way the combat has been described sounds like such a breath of fresh air.

Can't wait to play this

No I certainly cannot contain my excitement. lol

the last trailer looks good, gonna wait and see as it does have the Souls-like feel to it, and those are just not for me

Yes, it's hard not to make the Souls comparison. They went out of their way to make a specific distinction that this is not a Souls-like game, but it's hard to tell of course until it's out.

I have my fingers crossed, it looks interesting, but I just don't have the time, and energy to put into something that is as punishing as the Souls games, I gave Elden Ring a try after reading all the stuff and how it was a bit more accessible than the other Souls games, and after a few weeks and a million deaths and not much progress I just couldn't go on and traded it in. Between work, being a responsible parent, and occasionally a useful spouse, I can't justify playing a game for 10 hours and making an hour or two of progress

I'm not interested in the game but watching the trailer here just thinking, while 'Souls-likes' are all over the place these days maybe this one is more God of War-like.

Madden 25 finally brought team builder back which should lead to some pretty interesting new football teams

Unfortunately I don't think it'll be working later today when the game drops for people who preordered

Gunlance my beloved. Poke, boom, poke boom.

Super stoked for Wilds. Loved Monster Hunter World and while I played a lot of Rise, the wirebug mechanics never felt right to me.

Looks like this started out to be a DLC but they fleshed it out to a standalone game
