At this rate, I may be to the 3rd biome in Returnal by then.

You will undoubtedly be farther than me. I am digging this game though

It's looking more and more like Bethesda games will be Xbox exclusives in the future, which is very disappointing. I don't have a PS5 yet and probably wasn't going to upgrade for another few years, but this has the chance to push me in the direction of Xbox.

It might be awhile before they actually come out.

True. I've heard 2022 thrown around for Starfield, but I imagine we're still years out from Elder Scrolls 6. But if those aren't on PS5, I'll want to play them eventually--maybe wait until late in the cycle and try to get an Xbox S for cheap.

The Biomutant reviews are disappointing. Oh well. Less than 3 weeks until Ratchet and Clank.

I am not excited at all for Ratchet and Clank. I've never played one. Can you tell me what about it is exciting?

It's a true PS5 game. Not a forward compatible game. Not designed for PS4. It'll be my first actual next-gen game.

Man.. it just looks so childish/cartoony.. I wish my kid were a little older and I'd buy it for him

I understand your position, I actually used to feel the same and was never interested until I played the remake of the original on PS4 (it's free by the way on PS+). It's definitely a more G-rated affair, but the story and voice acting are well done. The PS5 game looks amazing and will likely feel like you're playing a Pixar movie. I'm normally into more mature themed games as well but this one looks too good (and fun) to pass up. Insomniac is on a roll lately and this one looks to be another home run.

Also, agree, looking forward to finally playing a game built for the PS5, outside of Demon's Souls and Returnal, both of which were too difficult for my feeble gaming skills.

I'll probably wait til it goes on sale. By then my kid will be old enough to enjoy watching at least. As for Insomniac, I really tried, but couldn't fully enjoy the Spiderman games. I appreciate what they did but the whole style/aesthetic is not my cup of tea. I'm sure this will be similar.

Hell Yes, finally more Horizon Forbidden West news...hoping for a release date as well....

Excellent!

I'm guessing a fall release date is all but guaranteed.

I'm thinking it will be August or September.

Gran Tourismo was pushed back so that's possible. I still hope for Halo v. Horizon v. Zelda heavyweight battle in the fall.

Sony typically releases their big first party games outside of the fall (other than during a console launch) to make room for third parties, so I'm thinking this will early October at the latest.

Anytime in 2021 is a win for me. Given the lack of news of late I was totally expecting to soon see a "delayed to 2022" message come out from Guerilla. I'm pretty pumped for this one and Ratchet. I just hope the Horizon difficulty can be adjusted a bit for us less-skilled gamers (i.e., don't make it Souls-level difficult).

Did you find the first one difficult? The special armor made it very manageable.

No I loved the first one (I should have mentioned that in my last post)--I mean it was difficult at times, but by no means unbearable (like Souls and Returnal). There was a bit of a learning curve, but definitely caught on once you learn how to armor up. Guess what I'm saying is I hope the difficulty will be similar to the last one!
