Is there a reason why there isn't a Sony First-Party Studios OT like there used to be a couple of years ago? Because I'm thinking about of making one.

Please do. The console OT should be about firmware updates and features IMHO.

 

[Komatsu]

Who wants to do the Cyberpunk PC Settings/Performance OT? I have a banner ready but want to give that chance to another member of the community.

[Komatsu]

Hi, Cornbread78 - it's a bit too soon for many of the games on the list.

That said, I claim Fair Cry 6 and Bravely Default II.

 

[cormack12]

Damn thats a loooong list - I'll update it after new ear. Been slacking on this. Might be easier to have an OP of titles releasing with names next to them.

 

[Andyliini]

All right then, I'll claim Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury.

Oh, I know, I used to make tons of OTs each month that fell through the cracks, lol. I might make a thread with oddson which of those games actually make it to release 2021, lol

 

[.Pennywise]

Hi, is there any rule that could prevent me from doing an OT for a very old game? (It's an RTS called Populous: The Beginning, from 1998).

Nope, go for it

 

[bender]

Uncharted is the easy choice. Ever since U2, it feels like they've tried to one-up themselves with bombast and it just feels exhausting. That's actually one of the main reasons I was disappointed in TLOU2, as it tried to ratchet up the bombast from the original which was a nice, grounded break from Naughty Dog's typical flare. Their puzzle mechanics were never good and the same could be said for the brain dead platforming and traversal. How many times can a handhold or platform collapse below me and still be exiting? While the combat has improved game over game, like most of the core mechanics, it's also-ran and done better by contemporary alternatives.

Hey, can I make a Playnite OT?

It's an all in one frontend for pc games:

Yeah! If the threads are created, people will discuss

 

[Hnjohngalt]

I think a discussion on tencent games buying up all game companies around the world as a bad thing for future creativity and diversity. Seems strange nobody brought up this chinese trojan horse yet.

Anyone doing hitman or Ys IX yet?

I'll take that as a no...

BTW:

Was wondering if we could get a dedicated thread to general gaming questions about anything gaming related that doesn’t really need is own thread. Otherwise sometimes a question thread about a particular question could get buried fast if there’s a lot of activity going on. For example I want to ask a specific question about fallout 4 modding on console but don’t see the point in making a thread about it - google hasn’t been much help either.

Well, I think that there's no harm in trying and seeing how that goes. The only issue would be whether and how to make sure that questions don't get buried.

I might make one eventually. It would be a good place to discuss Steam games, deals and whatnot. Obviously if there is enough interest there.
