I think it will be a solid 8.5/10. Great time of year to release it too.

Horizon 2 unofficially confirmed by voice actor! I assume for PS5. Can't wait!

It's going to be really tough to top Sekiro on my GoTY list.

Last of Us 2 is not coming out this year (a prediction, but a safe one).

I've never been into the Borderlands series. First person shooters in general don't typically crack my lists.

If they delay tLoU2, will they still release it for PS4? PS5 is launching fall of 2020, right?

My guess is an April 2020 PS4 release date. Then a late 2020/early 2021 PS5 "deluxe version". Very similar to the original game.

It's going to be a very lean 18 month stretch for Sony and Microsoft. Gears 5, tLoU2 and not much else. It's strange that these companies aren't supporting their current generation more.

Lots of 3rd party stuff too. Makes sense they are gearing up for next gen though. It wouldn't surprise me if one of them releases their new box in early 2020.

I for one would love to see them release the PS5 in early 2020 as opposed to releasing in the fall (which I understand the fall makes better business sense). Totally agree that it's looking more and more like tLoU2 won't be out this CY (same for Ghost of Tsushima) so my take is it's better to just wait and release both as opening day PS5 launch titles/exclusives.

If I recall correctly, the PS4 (and PS3) had over a year's worth of shitty launch titles as the developers grew accustom to the new platform. Why not release two games (that for all intents and purposes will be well received based upon very early but excellent footage) on the PS5, even if they were developed on the PS4 baseline...

I see there is a Fire Emblem coming out for Switch. I'm interested, but have never played any game in the series. Can anyone recommend?

Because you will make a lot of people who own PS4s mad. You almost have to release them for both consoles. Pull a Breath of the Wild or Dragon Age: Origins.

Is anyone excited about Borderlands 3? There was a livestream of about an hour of gameplay this week and it looks like....Borderlands. I had a ton of fun with BL 1+2 (never played the Pre-Sequel), so I guess I am on board, but I'm seeing very little excitement for this.

I played about half of Borderlands 2. Dug the art style, but the gameplay loop felt repetitive and grindy to me.

I'm loving Valkyria Chronicles 4 and I think they are kinda sorta similar.
