I was just reading an article that Sony has been on a social media hiatus for 72 hours to avoid the campaign of #firehermanhulst for the bluepoint closure.

Is that not real then and its only happening on enthusiast forums?

Sony Returns to Social Media After 72 Hour Hiatus But Fans Still Aren't Happy Following Bluepoint Closure

Let the shill cope... there's not much you can do. The subject was trending at n.2 I believe the day the news broke.

Now that there's a date let's see the actual game.

There was already a gameplay trailer, but yes, I'd like a deep dive.

 

[ProtoByte]

I don't understand the hype for this game after how bad Spider-Man 2 was and especially after seeing all the leaks.

I didn't read the full plot leak, but the game design looked very uninspired and last gen, and not much more exciting with the official trailer.

As for the plot... yeah. It can't be overstated how badly SM2 was written. I am very worried about Wolverine as a result.

 

[coachmcguirk91]

Tlou2 is far less gorey than a lot of other games that have much more dismemberment or hittable zones etc.

It's how they present their violence and the audio design that does the trick.

I don't see wolvy matching the grit and realism and audio design of tlou2 nor reaching the most gorey ass game on the market, maybe on purpose like you say, it's probably gonna be gorey enough for people who don't make comparisons with other gore systems.


Time will tell.

NPC's in TLOU2 actually feel like people when you murder them. Just be happy Wolverine has dismemberment. I thought Disney may not have allowed that. So few games properly have even a decent gore system nowadays

I would love the Call of Duty campaigns if they had proper gore. Such a sanitized franchise

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

I'm not going to keep responding to some retard that somehow took offense to me saying that the game is "likely" not going to come out on PC day-and-date. Piss all the way off, and get a fucking life.

I'm actually quite calm. You on the other hand seem quite tense.
And i literally said what we all know. If the game was releasing day and date in more platforms we would know that by now.

Anyway...it's literally in the reveal trailer:



"In development for Playstation 5" We have known this since 2021. If it was in development for more platforms we would know that by now. Also...not a single internal studio game has released a single player game for PC day one.

Man, Sony announced Death Stranding 2 a few weeks ago. And yes, it's a first-party game (at least Sony treats it as one). A proper Sony studio is also handling the port.

I really don't understand why you'd fool yourself about that, because it's pretty clear they're not changing anything about porting their games to PC.

Sony doesn't own the Death Stranding IP, Kojima does. It's not a first party game.

This will more than likely come to the PC based on the Marvel deal, unless they restructured it somehow.

Can't wait to play a mission as mystiques paraplegic trans girlfriend, selling stickers to tourists in a riveting quest midway through the game

While being way more powerful than Wolverine.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I've been saying Insomniac cranks out games. I don't know why people thought this would get delayed. It was somewhat playable from the leaks years ago.

 

[//DEVIL//]

You can shove a Wolverine blade up yours Sony. I will not forget what you just did with Bluepoint Studio. You ain't recovering from that this easily bitch.

 

[Saber]

I don't understand the hype for this game after how bad Spider-Man 2 was and especially after seeing all the leaks.

Me neither.
I'm just extremelly defensive at this point. Until I saw the full game to be certain that it has no pandering bullshit, I will certainly not buy it.

 

[Metnut]

Saros, GTA6 and Wolverine. Going to be a busy 2026 for lucky PS5 owners. Very happy I'm not PC only.

 

[Topher]

how do you know this

"I don't know how much the rest of you know about what it feels like to actually kill people (I'm an expert)....."

That will show them!!! Hopefully the sales for Wolverine are terrible and Sony shuts down the studio......Bloody idiots

72 hours?

Saturday, 2PM (probably scheduled Tweet). Whoever wrote that doesn't know how to count.

Oh, it's Sammy. Never mind.

Yeah let's all ban the studio that has released the most single player games this gen. That will teach Sony no one cares about live games

Oh...wait...

 

[Emmy Ator Best]

They were talking about the main account, that tweet is from the UK one

 

[mckmas8808]

Phantom Blade Zero and Wolverine are just one week apart. September will be a good month for me.

Oh my! You're right. Whoa!

 

[Mr Moose]

He's from the UK, why does he care about the US account?

 

[mckmas8808]

So we are gonna act like SM2 wasn't liked or loved by millions of people now?

Wait 6 months and it will magically be ported to pc.

Isn't the fastest we've seen a port around 14 months?

 

[Mr Moose]

Isn't the fastest we've seen a port around 14 months?

Depends if you count Death Stranding 2.

 

[Putonahappyface]

Can't not wait for the Jean Grey reveal.

I already know which two ways it will go.

Insomniac have been infiltrated by the purple hair people. We already know which way this game is going to go. Certainly not a day one game for me that's for sure.

 

[coachmcguirk91]

Depends if you count Death Stranding 2.

Sony didn't publish DS2, nor do they own the IP

 

[asdasdasdbb]

Sony didn't publish DS2, nor do they own the IP

Sony did. And they are publishing the PC version too, which DS1 was not published by Sony.

 

[Mr Moose]

Sony didn't publish DS2, nor do they own the IP

I know they don't own the IP anymore, but they did/do publish it.

 

[Bartski]

nice but too damn too close to Phantom Blade

 

[Wastelander92]

You can shove a Wolverine blade up yours Sony. I will not forget what you just did with Bluepoint Studio. You ain't recovering from that this easily bitch.

Bluepoint took a gamble on a GAAS that didn't work out. That were under Sony for 6 years with nothing to show for it.

 

[GudOlRub]

Sony didn't publish DS2, nor do they own the IP

Yes they did, Playstation published DS2 on PS5 and is also publishing it on PC along Kojima Productions

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Sony didn't publish DS2

 

[Diddy X]

Preorder what? Have they even shown the game?

 

[schaft0620]

Preorder what? Have they even shown the game?

Yeah they have

 

[Fake]

Preorder what? Have they even shown the game?

Jean Grey.

 

[Ristifer]

Aww yeah. Really want this one to be good. I've been needing a Wolverine game for a long time.

 

[kaizenkko]

Sony doesn't own the Death Stranding IP, Kojima does. It's not a first party game.

This will more than likely come to the PC based on the Marvel deal, unless they restructured it somehow.

Sony has already clearly stated in its financial reports that Death Stranding 2 is a first-party game. In their interpretation, any game they have 100% financed is considered a first-party title. And that's exactly what happened with Death Stranding 2: it was fully financed by Sony, and they also provided support through the xDev team.

The fact that they don't own the IP doesn't change anything. They also don't own the IPs for Spider-Man or Wolverine, yet those are still considered first-party games.

 

[Baemono]

What part of « Sony Interactive Entertainment » in the publisher's name isn't clear ?

If you like advanced damage systems, take a look at half sword demo on steam, their damage system is pretty much unbeaten in terms of graduality even if it can look silly and can glitch at times (consider that it was a demo pre-early access)

But you can't find another game where you break a leg and the dude try to stay balanced with animations created on the fly ala euphoria engine while screaming ala tlou2 (gargles of death included) or with better blunt head trauma simulation.

Believe me the demo is far more impressive in tech when you actuallly try it, don't judge only from videos where you see the silly looking walking characters, i have more than 200 hours between demo and early access solely for their damage system and animation system.

it doesn't have the best fidelity so don't expect dead island 2 level of details but it looks realistic enough.

 

[yogaflame]

Jean Grey.

It sure is ugly and does not look like a woman but I give it a benefit of a doubt that this is missings allot of assets and testing phase only. Lets hope the final product she will look decent.

Lets both hope.

It's also clear they treat the non IP owned games differently than most in-house IPs they own.

 

[mckmas8808]

Depends if you count Death Stranding 2.

Nah, for this it doesn't count because they don't own the IP. I'm only speaking of IPs that they own.

 

[amigastar]

Jean Grey.

Sorry but she looks like a crack whore.

 

[kaizenkko]

It's also clear they treat the non IP owned games differently than most in-house IPs they own.

How exactly? Death Stranding even gets the "PS Studios" label. So what exactly do they do differently?

 

[DeepEnigma]

With how quick they are to have ported to the PC or not. Seems they're written in these deals.

 

[MiguelItUp]

We don't know how much it has improved, but it's blatantly obvious that this isn't finished. We weren't even supposed to see that build. Hell, from what we've seen from Mystique in recent trailers she looks a LOT better than this incomplete model. But I'm sure people will stay say otherwise because reasons.

 

[begotten]

Bloody hell. 5 years it would have been from this reveal to launch.

Surely the game isn't shit.

 

[kaizenkko]

With how quick they are to have ported to the PC or not. Seems they're written in these deals.

I believe this is simply the natural "evolution" of their initiative. They started slowly, testing the market, and now that they've seen releasing games on PC isn't harming their console at all, there's no reason to stop.
