When the name "Mama" popped up I immediately though "oh, that's the character who manages all the bottled babies and maybe invented them" but from the rest of the trailer that might be Mads.

Fragile is just a big NIN fan.

I unironically hope this is the reason for her code name. Like whenever she's introduced into the game's story there has to be a long explanation of her tragic backstory and then the main character is like "so that's why she's called Fragile huh" and the explainer is like "What? No of course not you see in the 90s there wa-(10 minute codec call about Nine Inch Nails)"

Have they announced the composer, as I would really love to have Trent and Atticus do stuff for this game.

Death Stranding looks killer

RBA Starblade posted:

It's got some winners but I couldn't say which has the Best Exclusives at this point

There's a lot of good poo poo now
To me its a bid odd because I'm not sure I can name a single exclusive that wasnt a Sony production whereas if you go back to the PS2 exclusives were pretty common and if you go back to SNES than nearly every game was an exclusive and theyd make a different Aladdin game for the SNES and the Genesis.

Plus old stuff does get ported now and then (or in the case of the most popular stuff pretty regularly), so conversation of what system has the best exclusives RIGHT NOW, as in, the game is great, but it's literally only officially available to play on that one platform even years later, is pretty interesting. With that in mind a lot of newer systems are at a disadvantage when ports and games released across multiple generations and stuff is pretty commonplace.

That's pretty much why Dr Strangelove was called that in Peace Walker. That and she was bisexual.

I will be genuinely shocked if Kojima is able to deliver his parable on reconstructing society without insinuating that the most important role for women is motherhood.

Then again the women in the trailer are called FRAGILE and MAMA and "Quiet breathes through her skin, that's why we can't give her clothes you peasant idiot".

Anyway, looks like PS+ games this month are Sonic Mania and Borderlands: Handsome Collection are the PS+ games this month. Sonic Mania owns.

might as well wait if you're thinking on upgrading the PS Poor since PS5 will be backwards compatible anyway. I've had the white Destiny PS4 model for eons but knowing PS5 will be back-compat makes hanging onto it easier

I get the feeling Kojima was really burned by the criticism over female portrayal in MGSV and might, overcompensate might not be the right word, but do something along those lines

This is a game where men carry around babies on their bellies

Hold on to your money for now. Sony usually does a 'spend $100, get $15' promotion around E3. So you can preorder death stranding and some other game and get $15 back.

Up until recently, the Yakuza games. Yakuza 6 and Fist of the North Star are still PS4 exclusive but that probably won't be for long

In the old console days that at least had a reason behind it, in that the systems had vast technical differences even though they were similarly powerful. Color palettes, memory management, processors were all different, so in a lot of cases they just said screw it and made two games instead of bothering to port.

Then they immediately sold it to Gamestop, who sold it to the next achievement hunter, and that's not something the publisher wants to encourage.

There's a ton of games released on PSN/MS store pretty much with the sole purpose of giving a stupidly easy platinum/1000 gs.
