A lot of games throw in boss fights as a sort of afterthought. They're not creative or particularly enjoyable, but they SHOULD be. Some games get it right and create boss battles that are as memorable as they are fun. SlapStic.com presents a list of 10 that they found to be extremely good, accompanied by videos for each.
There's a good chance that we'll end up seeing several of these rumoured announcement, if a showcase does indeed happen.
Percentage time
SP Ghost 2: 50% chance. Maybe, depends on if the game is a 2025 game then yes, if it's a 2026 game then no. Unless they show something really early.
Asobo Astro bot: 100% guaranteed it's been rumored heavily. Release date this year.
Bend Studios New ip: 80% most likely. Its been 5 years they're gonna show a trailer in engine with a 2025 release date
Blue Point New ip: 60% possible. It's been almost 4 years. They could be another year off from showing something. I wouldn't be too surprised if they didn't show up quite yet.
FireSprite VR: 80% most likely new games being announced.
Fire Walk's Concord: 100% guaranteed. 2024 release in depth gameplay and all.
GG: 90% highly likely. Horizon Zero Dawn remake. Plus Horizon LS game also announced (my prediction)
Haven Studios Fairgame$: 90% highly likely gameplay trailer with a release date of possible early 2025.
Housemarque New ip: 40% chance hardly likely. I think they're still some ways away Returnal released in 2021 3 years is too short to show something.
Insomniac Wolverine: 40% chance hardly likely. They could easily do a mock up gameplay from what we've seen from leak but they're not gonna be pressured to so. The game is leaked to release in 2026. They might hold off until next year.
Media Molecule: 90% highly likely. Said to be a new IP will be shown and announced this year.
Naughty Dog New IP 40% hardly likely. Druckmann has been teasing and teasing for a year now I dont think he's ready to show off the game or announce what it is. It's still a little ways off.
Santa Monica New ip: 70% chance likely. Think Cory Barlog will tease something officially for a late 2025 release. Don't be gameplay but a tease and a name at the end of Sony's showcase as the one more thing.
I honestly just want to be reassured by seeing single player games from 1st party studios. I’m a bit worried after all this long very unusual quiet period from PlayStation
Sony Bend game is gaas 😣
Really want to see what SP has cooking as I am running through ghost on PC atm. And it's about time the ff9 remake gets revealed.
They just released FF7. Give them some time. I think if we see something from SE it will be Kingdom Hearts 4..
With five weeks until Dawntrail enters early access, Final Fantasy 14 announces some payment changes that will affect specific users.
Ghost of Tsushima PC vs PS5, best settings and more in the Digital Foundry tech review.
Playing this at a locked 175 fps on an OLED ultra wide at max settings is truly awe inspiring. A great way to replay this classic.
Sweet! Glad to see it make the jump. Hopefully the PSN requirement doesn’t put too many people off. I think it’s only if you plan to play the Legends mode. It’s bullshit, but at least you can access the main game without making a PSN profile if that bothers you. I know on PC everyone’s sick of everyone trying to push their own launchers and shit.
It's really not that big of a deal, PC players just love to complain, my friend has quite a few launches and never once complained, really no issues at all 😂😂😂 28514;
Indeed. It's for the trophies and online. I just hope Sony doesn't require ps plus subscription at some point for their online games. PC gamers have dealt with 3rd party launchers forever, just a bunch of silly complaints, nothing different.
Some people love to complain but if it wasn't for Sony themselves they wouldn't be playing these amazing 1st party games on their PeeZees.
As long as your not serious, welcome to the party.
This is fun. My turn.
Yeah, all 10 people that can actually afford a decent PC isn't much. This is why they are drip feeding PC gamers because they'll eat up 10 year old games like they're new, and that's all 10 of them. Consoles gamers already wore that shoe, you all are getting leftovers.
Your turn
@ anast uhh, looks like the video is showing last gen (soon to be 2 gen old) GPUs running it pretty well to me? I mean if you can't keep your PC decently current then that's hardly the devs fault now is it?
fighting against psycho mantis in MGS1 , back in the day I was blown away.MGS games have the best and most original bosses.
off topic : geez , I just cant wait for RE5 ,RE4 ws so awsome and RE5 is looking even better.
No shadow of the colassus? >:O
anyone else feel that The End or Psycho Mantis should be there instead of Gray Fox?
i mean dont get me wrong, the gray fox battle was amazing, but the psycho mantis and end battles were epic
oh and the i agree, fighting the elite four is super fun
Sephiroth, Final Fantasy VII. Do I need to explain? (The song playing during that fight still floats around in my head.)
and also psycho mantis in MGS1
and "the end" in MGS4...anyone ever shoot his parrot? i did (by mistake...i was aiming for him) and boy did he freak out!
