The Escapists TWD is surprisingly good. Doesn't play like a typical TE game. It's mission based and pretty cool. Easier to play than it looks.

@outswimmingtheflood I think the point is that quite a few folks will be playing this via GP (giving the game a new audience) and as such, it's neat to have a place to chatter for newcomers.

I haven't played yet, but I will no doubt get round to it when I've finished re-running E33.

I love simulators (specifically life-sims) but these sorts of sims just don't do it for me.

Yeah Bubsy is one hell of a particular series. It's rage inducing, but pretty rewarding if you put in the time. You just have to be very, very forgiving.

Dead Island 2 was amazing IMO. I would not scoff at a sequel. I preferred it over Dying Light.

Echoes of the Plum Grove looks like something I'd enjoy. Unrelated but I sure wish we hear something related to the Haunted Chocolatier next year :/

Thanks for the heads up. I'll check once the kids are asleep and I can find a minute O_o

I'll no doubt pick this game up in due course, but I'm still lost in an ocean of backlog...

Totally picking this and the sequel up, seeing as the third game will more than likely be day and date.

Oh. 40% off FFXVI is a very tempting offer. That said, I expect this to hit GP at some point in 26.

I'll take anything that comes to Xbox from this event (I wont stay up for it because it's super late in the UK) but I'm excited nonetheless.

I don't drive, but that's pretty dope! I'd love that lol.

Said for a long time that FH in Tokyo / Japan would be amazing if they get a good mix of modern and cultural settings.

@Lup Thanks man. Yeah, VS was not my kinda game. I could not get behind the hype for that crap. I'll just hold out for So which will, fingers crossed, be next year O_o

Not at that price...

Ah, see, this is the issues with DLC. They're short, and there's not enough space or time (for most) to pad out an interesting story. I'd have gone with a full on expansion that's campaign sized rather than this bite sized stuff, but that's just me. Saying that, I think it'd have been better to just work straight on a sequel. The core game is amazing.

I saw the thumbnail and was expecting to see something like MK from the Snes days. What I'm seeing here doesn't look very MK to me at all.

I hope they go back and do more IJ games. IJ was an amazing game and it'd be a huge shame to see a one and done sort of thing. Not only that, but there's more than enough Wolfenstein to go round. If they reboot it, then fine, but a sequel? Nah...

Way too flashy for me, but truthfully, the only zombie game I care about right now is SoD 3...

I'm sure they'll come in due course. Hell, they might even use a huge bulk of this to ramp up GP for next gen.

I'll get this later down the line. There's just too much gaming on my plate right now lol.

@GameOverScreen Nice. Yeah it will be interesting to see how Beast stacks up. In regards to Dead Island 2 though, it's the location and the tone that made that for me lol. Then again, I loved the OG 2 games.

Dead Island 2 is well worth a go IMO. It beats the hell out of Dying Light.

I think DLC for any game is pretty risky. It's hard for a dev to make a huge chunk of gameplay for a low priced return. May as well just move on to a sequel IMO.

I might pick up Bubsy just to see how I stack up. I remember playing the OG version and never getting past the first few levels lol.

It's never really interested me to be fair. I always saw this as lightning in a bottle. The first two games seemed to hit hard, but I don't think they'll ever get the same highs again.

I'm finishing off another run of E33, and then I'm moving onto Silksong

@Deljo No no, I mean games in continuity. Sure, SH2 did great, but I would carefully assume that Bloober will focus on SH1 or SH3 next. If Konami pull this off, it could lead to more sequels, is what I meant.

Hard pass for me. It does absolutely nothing to entice me whatsoever.

Call of Duty could make a great movie IMO. I'd certainly prefer they take a leaf from Treyarch above all else, but even if they only use the title to sell tickets, if they do this right, it could be one hell of a good movie.

I'd love a remake of the first game. Hell, I'd take a HD Remaster of the first bunch of games... They were classic!

I mean, it's their property. They can do what they like with it... Why should we care for what happens to a dead IP?...

Folks can say what they want, but this is such a great time to be a gamer. Barriers coming down, compatibility on the rise, cross-integration growing strongly. This is amazing.

Some very solid games coming this month. Man, GP just keeps on giving!

I mean, I'm only going off the footage above, but I don't see DOOM.

It wont touch FH at all. That game is practically the only game of its kind on PS - and future FH games released on the platform (day one) will just print money for MS. Gears, as great as it is, is old. There's every chance people know how short and gritty it is, and just don't rush to grab it in favour of everything else that's on the market this year.

I'm looking forward to all of these, BUT, I just can't put down Expedition 33. I'll no doubt try OW2 to begin with, and then keeper.

Final Weapon? First I've heard of them.

Overall, not some bad scores at all.

Very happy with this. This could well be the game that puts the IP back on the map - in regards to continuity. I'm all here for it. Cant wait.

@Ricky-Spanish Have you ever seen the canon to Terminator (movies)? There's a video on YouTube going over it. Apparently every movie since 3 has spanned a whole new timeline that runs separately to T1/2 - though almost all of them share the future war O_o it's bloody mind boggling lol.

Eh I can live with that. Curious to see what comes to GP this month given that we've already had a good one with SS.

Not for me. The gameplay looks fine but it's the style that puts me off. Kinda looks like it's that sort of game that burns your eyes and give you a headache lol.

@TrollOfWar @WildConcept6 @OldGamer999 It's just a crazy time isn't it. I'd certainly be a "little" bit worried if I was working at Rare or T10, but I can only imagine the numbers team being a driving force for decisions like this. Surely there's an accountant somewhere (or a few of them) that weigh up the cost of a studio vs the cost of the income said studio makes? Or is that not how it works?

@Fiendish-Beaver I prefer those days though. Everything these days is just crammed. I think the simplicity of days gone was a driving factor as to how people functioned so normally during waking hours. Don't get me wrong, the birth of the net was great for its time, but the magic it brought with it died out with the likes of AOL.

@Ricky-Spanish Ha! I remember watching Thriller over, and over, and over again (the 15 minute odd long mini video) at like 6am with my brother. Good old VHS that used to take half a day to rewind (and even longer if the tape player chewed up the ribbon) O_o

Still though, we had some truly amazing things back then. Terminator, RoboCop, Stallone, Russell... Speaking of Terminator, is this game canon? Or at least canon to something? Seeing as the whole canon is destroyed.

@Sindayl Sorry bud, haha, my memory is not as sharp as it once was lol.

@Ricky-Spanish Same here haha! Back in the day where TV ended at like 11pm (curtsey of that girl with the chalkboard that would always pop up). So many classics from way back when.

Good for them. Really glad to see that this has gone down well, and no doubt the folks over on PS will appreciate a classic. I doubt this will top FH sales on PS, but it will no doubt do well enough.

@OldGamer999 I personally reckon they'll be shuttered as soon as they sunset Sea of Thieves in a few years, much like Turn10 and FM.

On topic of this news, I'm glad they found a role. Curious to see what comes of it as time moves on.

@Coletrain Could not agree more. I'd take anything from these devs for the simple reason that they're in-tune with community. They know what we want and they're clearly able to deliver. I was blown away by E33 and even more so on my second run (you notice things that you didn't notice to begin with - such as Verso watching the Expedition enter the mansion for the first time, and more).
