honestly,.. i'm kind of optimistic.    massive 300m dollar games being viewed as unsustainable in the same timeframe as helldivers 2 being a massive success.   i have hope that this rights the ship a bit in terms of how publishers approach game development.    

a game can be pretty but it doesn't really need to be photorealistic, imo.   it needs a great art style but that isn't the same thing as expensive art style.

...but it is unique experiences that will go viral and make the best RoI.  

i really miss the days where sony supported more unique ideas: flower, journy, echochrome, fat princess, little big planet.   i like the other stuff too (like spiderman, GoW, uncharted) but sony has become too singular in the experience they make.   cinematic open-world single-player.   i need better variety in a line-up.   i want more low effort fast release games too.   things like MS did with hi fi rush and pentiment.   i know these particular titles didn't make a ton of money but they are great titles to bolster the value of ps+ and give some diversity in the line-up.
Agreed. Ps3 really was the golden age for me, and it continued into early PS4 days. I like new experiences, single player or unique coop/multiplayer. Indie or not does not really matter, as long as it's a good game.

Same rules as the GOW thread. Give a high, medium, and low prediction.

IE you expect it to get a 95 so you set that as your middle. Then you set 97 as your high because you don't think the game has a good chance of scoring above that. Then you set 88 as your low because you don't expect the game to score lower than that.

RESULTS WILL NOW BE SCORED SO THAT AN OVERALL WINNER CAN BE DETERMINED AT THE END OF THE YEAR. IF YOU HAVE THE CLOSEST PREDICTION, YOU EARN POINTS: SCORE +=100-(high prediction-low prediction)*2. IF THE FINAL MC FALLS OUTSIDE YOUR HIGH AND LOW PREDICTIONS, YOU LOSE POINTS: SCORE -=50.

Review embargo ends when the countdown ends. Feel free to post predictions and edit them up till that time.

What are y'all talking about. Three pretty big games releasing this Friday!

Btw, I wonder when reviews are out. Dragons dogma probably the best of them?
Dragon Dogma, Rise of Ronan, and Princess Peach?

Guess we need review prediction threads. I'm interested in Dragon's Dogma but realistically I'll never play it.

I'm sure I'll be excited in May/"E3" time.

But I think this is the lowest I've felt about the industry in a long time.

Yeah. At least last year I had starfield to look forward to.

Indies are still great. On that front things are as good as ever.
