There will be a live stream tomorrow called the PlayStation Technical Presentation, with host Mark Cerny, the Lead Architect of the PS5. Many are speculating it will be the unveiling of the PS5 Pro, which seems possible considering it's been rumored forever now. It's only going to be a quick 9 minute stream though, so if it is a new PS5, I think that would be sufficient enough time to unveil it. Or could we expect something else completely? You can tune in tomorrow on the PlayStation YouTube channel - http://www.youtube.com/PlayStation - 8:00am PT / 11:00am ET / 4:00pm BST. You can view the blog post with said announcement here - https://blog.playstation.com/2024/09/09/tune-in-tomorrow-for-a-playstation-5-technical-presentation-hosted-by-mark-cerny/

[REDACTED] is an upcoming fact paced isometric roguelike from the people at Striking Distance Studios who developed The Callisto Protocol. It looks to be coming out this October, so not far off to go. Also, I hear this game is set in the same world as The Callisto Protocol.

Has anyone heard of Kvark? It's been in early access since June of 2023, and has mostly positive reviews on Steam - https://store.steampowered.com/app/2319390/Kvark/ It's being said the full official release of Kvark is coming October 3rd of this year, taking it out of early access. Anyway, in regards to the game, I guess they call it a retro-inspired FPS. I get a lot of Half-Life vibes from the gameplay and look of the game. It's coming out first for the PC via Steam, but there are plans to release it on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. No official release date has been announced for the console version though. But I assume they could release it around the same time as the PC version.

The Switch 2 hasn't even been announced yet, but it's being alleged that the next Switch will be backwards compatible with Switch games. Which is honestly a smart move for Nintendo, considering how they can keep selling their older games this way. Nintendo has been known to make their consoles and devices backwards compatible to some extent. If the Switch 2 utilizes the same game cards too, I imagine that would make it easier to adapt. The cool thing is, these older games could still receive updates if the devs want to. What do you think about this news? Did you expect it to happen? I sort of did, especially if they are going to go the route of making a Switch 2 instead of a completely new console.

Would you change any of the order in this list?

This is cool news, the PS2 is the first gaming console in Japan's National Science Museum. Japan ended up adding it to the Future Technology Heritage list. This list includes the likes of 400 items that all have been a major part in how far we've come in tech. It also mentions it's about cultural shifts and technical leaps with the tech on the list. This article - https://tech4gamers.com/ps2-first-gaming-console-japan-science-museum/ mentions that the list has stuff like the Sony Walkman, and the first DVD player. So stuff that really were important in how tech advanced I guess. You can view this years list here via this PDF - https://www.kahaku.go.jp/procedure/press/pdf/1441766.pdf, though it's in Japanese, they do show pictures of the items added. I wish I could tell exactly what the other items are. I see a watch, a couple sewing machines, piano keyboards, and weird and big machines I couldn't identify. Either way, I think it's pretty cool. I could see consoles like the Wii, Xbox's Kinect (even though it was kind of a failure), VR, and the Switch making this list if they haven't already.

If you've played the first two Little Nightmares games, you'll know what you're in for. This looks like much of the same, but still as good as ever. There was some gameplay released to Gamescom recently, and the game looks great. If you're a fan, you will probably be happy with what you see. Check it out below.

Has anyone heard of this one? It's a survival stealth horror game where you have to find 3 heads to escape the show. Supposedly Billy (the AI) watches your every move. You choose your path, but you will encounter traps and other obstacles. It's been out on PC since March, but it just came out on consoles recently. It looks to be out for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and the Nintendo Switch.

Source - https://www.ign.com/articles/rocksteady-reportedly-lays-off-staff-following-suicide-squad-kill-the-justice-league-flop Thanks to the failure that was Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, it looks like Rocksteady has laid off 18 employees, taking the company from 33 employees to just 15. It sucks seeing studios let go of staff like this. And I blame this solely on WB for wanting to go into the live service direction. I believe they are to blame for these employees losing their jobs. It's said that the game failing was a $200 million hit to revenue.

I like to buy games used when I can, whether that be through places like Amazon, ebay, Facebook marketplace, or some other places. I am always trying to find deals on games. With that being said, what was the bear deal you ever got on a video game or a video game lot? Maybe it's a lot you bought on ebay, or a deal you got from going to a garage sale or something. For me, the best deal I ever got was years ago during a garage sale. It was an old neighbor of mine, and they were selling NES games, an N64, and more stuff. I ended up picking up just a copy of Zelda link to the past on the SNES and a SNES controller. I think I got two controllers, I forget. Anyway, I should have tried to get the N64 and NES games too, but was new to thrifting and didn't try to barter. But I think I paid $10 maybe. Idk I forget. But what about you? What's your biggest and best video game deal ever?

Dawn of Defiance is a new early access action adventure open-world survival crafting game where you play as a soldier who is spared death, and has to survive with nothing. You can build houses, but can build and make other things by finding recipes around the world. It released mid August, and seems to be getting good reviews lately. But, since it's in early access, expect bugs and problems to come up. I'd probably wait for the full release. I don't like to play early access games so much. Check it out on steam - https://store.steampowered.com/app/2059530/Dawn_of_Defiance/ It's also available on Epic Games - https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/dawn-of-defiance-b4f0ca

Has anyone here played this game? It's been out since 2022, and has overwhelmingly good reviews on Steam. It's a rogue-like shoot 'em up from developers Poncle. It's currently got a port for just about every console and device now, including iOS and Android. But it's also available for PC, Mac, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch. It just released on PS4 and PS5 near the end of August. Who here has played it? Is it worth checking out? I figure this is something that could play on my laptop, it looks like it's not going to take much to run.

I haven't owned a Razer product yet in my life, though I've always wanted to get a mouse of theirs, but never pulled the trigger on doing that. I know they also make controllers for Xbox, PlayStation and PC, so I was curious, are these Razer controllers usually good? I was thinking about buying one years ago, but went a different direction because I didn't want to spend so much. I want to get a Razer controller that works on Xbox, but also PC. Do you guys know of any good Razer controllers that work universally? Like with Xbox and PC, but maybe even with PS4/5 if you wanted to?

When it comes to buying video games at a game store, thrift store, or any store, are there any pet peeves you have when it comes to buying physical games? Whether it be used games or new. I think my biggest pet peeves are scalpers who buy up limited edition stuff and try to sell it at a higher cost. They're some of the worst, especially if you're a fan and just want that game or item they're inflating the price of. Another pet peeve is resellers or people who will go to stores, buy up all the cheap inventory, and will charge ebay or market prices on every game they get. Resellers are often as bad as scalpers imo, as they tend to go to places to get deals, and then go and sell them at a markup later. Another pet peeve is stores putting stickers or writing on the case, sleeve or disc. Gamestop has done this over the years and they've gotten better, but there are people who will sell games by putting stickers on the label even. That bugs me big time. What are your pet peeves when buying from game stores or any stores selling used/new physical games?

Atari making games again, interesting. Well to be fair, this is not the Atari we all grew up with, this is a new Atari run by a completely different group of people. But this game actually looks good. It's an upcoming vehicular combat game and is said to be paying homage to the original Fatal Run game that released on the Atari 2600/7800. This is not a retro remake or reimagining though, it looks like a brand spanking new game with modern graphics and gameplay. Check the trailer out below. It is said to be releasing in 2025 for the PC (steam & Epic Games), PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. Maybe a switch port will come down the line later.

It looks like GameStop isn't quite dead yet, as they seem to be rebranding across the country to a more retro style store, simply called GameStop Retro. I checked the store locator on their site, but it doesn't seem like the one nearest to me has rebranded yet. Well, I don't know if they are rebranding necessarily, they may still have regular GameStops around alongside these new stores. But I assume they will rebrand to GS: Retro and move to selling retro games due to current and future games likely going to digital only or mostly in the near future. So far, the store is said to sell these games/consoles: Sadly PSP is not mentioned, but I imagine those could be added at a later date. You can read more about this news here - https://comicbook.com/gaming/news/gamestop-retro-stores-near-me/ And if you want to see if there is a GameStop Retro coming to your area, you can use the store locator here - https://www.gamestop.com/retro-store-locator

The Resident Evil creator recently talked about how he wants to move on from survival horror for a bit, and maybe God Hand could be that move he wanted to make. It seems he is very keen on the idea of making a new God Hand game, and honestly I would welcome that move. Would you? I can see why he wants to jump away from the survival horror genre. I feel it's played out and the market is already full up with hits. So maybe this is the direction that seems best for him. What do you think?

Does anyone remember playing a game called Shadow of the Ninja on the NES back in the day? I don't recall ever playing it myself, but it's probably an NES game I would enjoy if I got a chance to check it out. Anyway, this topic isn't for the original game that came out in 1990. This is in regards to a the remake that is dropping tomorrow for PC (Steam), PS5, Xbox Series X|S & the Switch. Check out the trailer for the game below. It looks like a faithful remake to me.

Has anyone heard of this? It's a new Atari console, that seems to re-create the 7800, but updated for modern times. As well, they are releasing a new game with it called Bentley Bear’s Crystal Quest, which is a sequel to the 7800 game Crystal Castles. I don't know who wants this, and I can't imagine it's going to sell very well compared to other retro style consoles. The new console will connect via HDMI, have USB C connections, and will play 2600 and 7800 games. If interested in picking up this, it'll set you back $129.99. It's currently available for pre-order, and will ship in winter of 2024. So right in time for the holidays! You can view the console here - https://atari.com/products/atari-7800

I had no idea about this, but Valve has a new online multiplayer game, or MOBA, coming soon called Deadlock. I guess it's been hugely popular as of late with people getting invites to play from developers, so much so that it has already reached a 90K player count, and it's not even released officially yet. You can read about that bit of news here if interested: https://www.videogamer.com/news/new-valve-moba-deadlock-close-to-reaching-90k-peak-player-count-mere-days-after-reveal/ Anyway, I can't seem to find a trailer even, but there has been some people releasing videos on YouTube of the gameplay. You can get an idea for what the game will be like via the video below. This of course is an early build and there is a ways to go, but many are comparing to battleborn, overwatch and some other style of shooters. Here's the steam page if you're even more curious about it: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1422450/Deadlock/

Has anyone here ever heard of this one? It's an upcoming action RPG. It kinda looks like one of those souls-like games, similar to Dark Souls, Bloodborne, etc. There currently is no release date, but I imagine sometime in 2025 or later. Check the trailer out below and discuss your thoughts on the game.

Has anyone here played a game called SCUM? It seems to be another one of those open world zombie games similar to DayZ. But on Steam it's been getting good reviews. It's been in early access since 2018, but I assume an official release is coming soon. Check out the trailer below.

Atomfall is an upcoming action adventure game from the good people at Rebellion. This game looks quite ambitious. I am getting kind of a Fallout vibe from it for some reason. It is supposed to release March 2025 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games.

This game looks awesome, it's from the people at Motion Blur. They say it's like a combination of Metal Gear Solid and Portal, and honestly that sounds like a great combination. There is no official release date yet, but I assume sometime in 2025-2026. Check out the original trailer below: And a new gameplay video showing off the game in 4K and RTX.

Dying Light is back and from the looks of it, you may have some special abilities. This was another announcement at Gamescom recently. The trailer doesn't show much, but it does tease some gameplay throughout the second half of the trailer. According to the synopsis in the description of the YouTube video, you play as someone who has gone through experiments. I assume it results in some zombie like powers being given to the player. Check the trailer out below and give us your thoughts: https://youtu.be/nlRgYzaPAjY
