"Yakuza 0's weird juxtaposition between gritty crime drama and unabashed absurdity is a huge part of what makes the series so irresistible. It’s the video gaming equivalent of the mullet. Looking Yakuza 0 in the face you’d think it was a no-nonsense underworld epic that sometimes takes itself a bit too seriously. However, upon closer inspection you’ll find a game that’s wild and free, rebelliously doing donuts in its souped-up red Camaro around the player’s expectations without a care in the world." Frank DiPersio, Editor-in-Chief, Hey Poor Player.

Windows Central writes: "Many PlayStation Studios games that are ported to PC get dedicated PS5 DualSense support, which allows users to experience haptic feedback and adaptive trigger support without actually having to own a PS5.
According to Hermen Hulst, head of PlayStation Studios, it's still the company's intent to launch the bigger single-player games on PS5 first, before later bringing the games to PC. This might not be the case for multiplayer games however, which are considered okay to launch simultaneously on console and PC."
My guess is after god of war. Probably last of us 2 that's a almost 4 year old game now and by the time it's released on pc it will be more than 4 years old or close to 5.
Former Activision studio Toys for Bob partners with Xbox to publish its first game as an indie. This is something of a homecoming, as Microsoft owns Activision.
Manages to buy their freedom especially after all the shit Microsoft has been doing with its studios lately
...
Goes right back to them as partners.
Okaaaaaay...
Xbox’s gaming division seems to still function as 3 semi-autonomous sub-divisions, Xbox Studios, Bethesda and ABK. The three main sub-divisions can seemingly shut down or build studios and set up partnerships independently. This would explain why Bethesda can recently shutdown studios, while ABK spins off one studio, while building a new one. Plus, Toys for Bob could be spun off by ABK, only to immediately re-partner with Microsoft.
Seems to be one of the stronger entries in the series.
So excited to finally dive into this series!
Glad I pre-ordered this! I hope it will do really well in sales, it deserves it.
Man this game is getting some really good scores.
Yakuza 0 metascore 86
Gravity rush 2 metascore 81
Not a bad start of the year for Sony. Next up Kingdom Hearts 2.8, and Nioh.
