So, we're less than two months into 2017, and many think we've already found the game of the year in Horizon Zero Dawn.

Zelda, Mario, ME:A, RDR2, and P5 imo. Of course there are games coming we're not aware of.

wonderfulmonkeyman2639d ago (Edited 2639d ago )

Agreed. So many good competing games coming out is really going to spur developers to out-do themselves.

BlakHavoc2639d ago

Ya I think whichever game walks out of 2017 with the most GOTYs, it will have truly been a great game. So much competition this year.

Summons752638d ago

Zelda, MEA (not in quality but it will sell well), P5, Nier. And they are all within the same month/month in a half span :( 2017 is an amazing year for gaming but it's nearly 3 months in and my wallet is in deep pain.

deafdani2638d ago

There's no reason to doubt MEA's quality. The original trilogy is one of the highest rated game series of all time, 3 included, despite the shitstorm regarding the ending.

notachance2638d ago

I think one of Sony's already announced new game will be released holiday 2017, with E3 2017 as release date announcement... so probably either God of War or Spiderman will be a contender.

bouzebbal2638d ago (Edited 2638d ago )

NieR and NioH imo are also two big candidates.
For me personally, Crash remake and Zelda are two of my most anticipated games this year.

DoomeDx2638d ago

People believe RDR2 will actually release this year? This is rockstar were talking about. They ALWAYS delay there games.

deafdani2638d ago

I doubt Red Dead Redemption will come out this year. Same for Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (which you didn't mention), which is supposed to come out this year as well, but I think it will be delayed to next year.

Deep-throat2638d ago

RDR2 will not compete, it will annihilate.

Rockstar is king.

lol I feel like a big game will get announced but I don't think we'll see it in 2017. We'll see a Gears 4 port, SOD2, and and the new AC running on Scorpio. I think Halo 6 is coming in 2018.

ShadowKnight2638d ago

I think Microsoft should take a big break with the Halo franchise

remixx1162638d ago

If you talking about sunset overdrive 2 then you can hang that up, poor sales of the first installment as well as the fact that insomniac just finished ratchet and clank last year and are now working on spiderman ps4

notachance2638d ago

even if MS announce a new AAA game I'll bet it won't be released in 2017

rainslacker2637d ago

Did you read the reason why he included it though? Seemed he put it in there more as sarcasm to showcase just how stupid the secret sauce arguments are.

WickedLester2638d ago (Edited 2638d ago )

I'm sure it will. The gaming media will be on Zelda's dick faster than a 10 cent whore.

EddieNX 2638d ago

Tbf, Zelda games are usually masterpieces. Can't think of a game with better gameplay, especially when the puzzles start flowing. Horizon looks terrific though, Im gunna have to play it some time after Zelda.

majiebeast2638d ago

Skyward Sword is a piece of shit its not even close to a master piece.

WickedLester2638d ago

@majiebeast

Agreed 100%. There hasn't been what I would consider a "masterpiece" Zelda game since Wind Waker.

ShadowKnight2637d ago

Just like its on Halo, Uncharted, The Last of Us, Mario, and other big games dick that's right. History repeats itself

Deep-throat2638d ago

Zelda is Zelda. Nintendo isn't copying Far Cry with some RPG elements from Mass Effect.

WickedLester2637d ago (Edited 2637d ago )

LOL! No they're just finally implementing gameplay mechanics that we've already been playing for the last 10 years. Welcome to 2007 Nintendo! Of course I'm sure the gaming "media" will totally give it a pass because...you know...it's Zelda and that forgives all.

At least Horizon looks like a next gen game. Zelda BOTW looks like a game I would've played on my 360 five years ago.

_-EDMIX-_2637d ago

Except Zelda is copying the majority of its features from a host of RPGs cuz I'm pretty positive they didn't have crafting in the original Zelda series

TheOptimist2638d ago

Any developer/publisher who pays the media more?

Legatus2638d ago

Who needs to pay media when you have your own exclusive masterpieces to generate massive buzz around it 😉 .

PSN_ZeroOnyx2638d ago

You sure are pessimistic for an optimist

corroios2638d ago

what i would like to see are five new IP in 2017 that can compete with Horizon.

EddieNX 2638d ago

Nioh looks like too much of a Dark souls clone. I've had my fill of Souls games for now, genuinely don't even wanna play Nioh. Obviously if u copy Souls youre gunna get a great game.

Trez12342638d ago (Edited 2638d ago )

Spoken like someone who hasn't played nioh. Hell, if you think copied souls too much then I wonder what games you're playing because most games copy eachother within their genre.

Apart from the fact that you die and lose your souls, shrine/bonfire,what else did it copy?

Paytaa2638d ago

Nioh is an addiction. So damn good. I feel it will probably walk out of 2017 my personal GOTY.

DigitalRaptor2636d ago

That's a GREAT suggestion.

Although, I wouldn't count on many.

shinoff21834h ago

They gotta do better on the premium side for sure. Where are any of those jrpgs from the ps1 Era. Come on Sony.

jznrpg4h ago

Most of the Sony JRPGS have been released. Square has a ton that could be ported over but they would need Squares involvement.

VenomUK3h ago

Crime Boss! I know it hasn't reviewed well but I love the eighties action movie vibe of the trailer but didn't want to risk any money on it so this is a great way for me to play it.

outsider16244h ago

Looking at this list, i gotta ask what is even the point of premium?

raWfodog4h ago

I'm good with just my PS+ Essential

GamerRN2m ago

I have premium, and I'm also wondering why I have it

Abnor_Mal2h ago

G-Police is a game I have fond memories of and will definitely download to replay. I remember controlling your helicopter was a bit difficult and would make my hand cramp having to press all the shoulder buttons to go up and down and I think yaw left and right.

The next game they should add to Classics is Colony Wars, and I wouldn’t mind replaying Nightmare Creatures. I’d also like to replay Black, PSI Ope: The Mindgate Conspiracy.

hiroyukisanada2h ago

Man.... Premium has been a massive letdown but this is the only month they don't have a single thing for me. Oh well. I've gotten my money's worth so far and still need to finish up Rebirth and Rise of the Ronin then I'll hop back in to Relink and Helldivers after that.

Petebloodyonion2h ago

RDR2 is a win for Sony and Crime boss is a good fit to help promote a struggling game
but we're far from what was removed this month (including Horizon Zero Dawn)
https://www.pushsquare.com/...

crazyCoconuts2h ago

Yeah I was hoping burning shores would have been added now that it's a year old vs. the base game being removed.
I wouldn't be surprised if both MS and PS continue to either walk back the quality of games in the sub services or increase the price, since it's now clearer to them how cannibalistic these services are

Sony Has Added More Titles To The List of Games Leaving PS Plus In May 2024

Sony Interactive Entertainment has added a few more titles to the list of games that will be leaving PS Plus in May, 2024.

darthv728d ago

curious... if a game leaves PS+, does it make it unplayable if you have already claimed it before it leaves? I know on the XB side, games leaving Gamepass are no longer playable. You need to pay for them to be able to continue playing after you installed them from GP.

CrimsonWing698d ago

The 3 monthly “free” games you keep as long as you have PS+ subscription. The PS+ library is like Netflix. They rotate stuff out and replace them with other titles.

MrNinosan8d ago

Yes, PS+ Extra/Premium games are unplayable after the leave the service, just like GamePass and Netflix.
PS+ Essentials games are available as long as you have an active PS+ account.

Profchaos8d ago

Monthly games, special promos like the free games during COVID or PS plus bundle on ps5 are forever yours. Premium and above are time limited

If you claim a game on the premium tier (not yours to keep) and it comes out as a monthly games later e.g. fallout 76 it appears you do not retain ownership on that one.

Notsofast8d ago

The 3-4 monthly games that are free that are part of every service are yours forever I canceled my service over a year and you never lose access. I dont know what these other comments are talking about maybe they are in a different country but in the USA I could play any game I claimed of the free monthly games

MrNinosan8d ago

Then one of the accounts on your PS5 probably has a PS+ Essential subscription.
Because the 3-4 PS+ games you get every month, is not available to be played if you don't have an active sunscription.
It's the same in US, Europe, Japan and everywhere else.

Petebloodyonion8d ago

Essential stays in your library
Extra and premium become locked when titles leave the service.

It's actually one of my gripes with Extra, you can't remove the title from your own library, so basically it countss as one your title but it's locked so you own library become a cluster F... unless you filter your titles.

MrNinosan8d ago

Well you can just chose to hide them.

Wonder if Horizon ZD leaving gives credit to those remake rumours

Sigh. If true…another remake that’s not Bloodborne.

SimpleDad8d ago

Probably yes cause of a remake.

Skuletor8d ago

I still remember them giving that one away for free, regardless of if you were subscribed to Plus or not

ApocalypseShadow8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

They did. It was during the pandemic and the "play at home" initiative.

Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition. Sony gave away a lot of games just to push gamers to stay home and not get infected by COVID.

Eonjay8d ago

I think you're right.
There is a separate Bloodborne rumor by the remake is allegedly scheduled for next gen.

Kingrizzy908d ago

Yes cause of the remake good thing I got the plat
And is bloodborn really that good? I never played it due to being Incarcerated 8½ years but I read the comics. It's pretty dark

Profchaos8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

Highly likely I also bet the remaster will be over priced and under whelming.

I'd also bet most people will simply stick with the PS4 pro and ps5 60fps patch over paying to upgrade when it offers the bare minimum.

I hope Sony has learnt from the last of us 2 and stop remastering games that just came out they have nearly 30 years of content to work with but always remaster games that are like 5 years old and don't need it. I assume this was In development alongside tlou2 so fingers crossed this is the last time we get this because what's next god of war on PS4 to ps5 for 70 dollars probably anything outside of bloodborne

Friendlygamer8d ago

Glad I played sundered and the messenger, both great 2d games

gold_drake8d ago

ahh the messenger is such a good game.

u should play sea of starts. same people, its a sort of prequel to the messenger tok

Friendlygamer8d ago

Oh I will definitely play it eventually, chained echoes too

Jingsing8d ago

Can N4G adopt a policy of games leaving subscription services as not being a new story, it is just spam at this point.

Petebloodyonion8d ago

Is it me or have there been a lot of great games leaving the extra tier but barely anything in terms of wow factor joining the service in return?
When was the last time that Sony added a PlayStation studio game?
Now I don't expect Sony to have day 1 like Gamepass but I would expect to at least care to make the offering interesting especially when they raised the price by 30% last year.

MrNinosan8d ago

PS Studio Games:
May - Destiny 2: Lightfall
April - MediEvil, Jak&Daxter: The Lost Frontier,
March - CoolBoarders

What Playstation Studio games is it you're missing?

Petebloodyonion8d ago

Sight...
let me check my comment again
" Is it me or have there been a lot of great games leaving the extra tier but barely anything in terms of wow factor joining the service in return? "
Yeah pretty sure I mentioned the EXTRA tier and not the PREMIUM tier
but glad that you consider a DLC to a free-to-play game a great offering

MrNinosan7d ago

I repeat my question, what PS Studio games is it you're missing?

And regarding the first part of your comment, lots of great games leaving and nothing added?

What great games iyo has left the service?
For me, "wow-factor games added would be".
Dave the Diver, Tales of Kenzera, Raji, Miasma, The Outer Worlds, Resident Evil 3, Ace Attorney, Rainbow Six Siege, AC: Valhalla, Far Cry 6, Watch Dogs Legion, Both Southpark jrpgs, Fenyx Rising, Tales of Arise, Session, Lego Worlds, Vampire the Masquerade Swansong, Legends of Mana....

And many more.

Compared to what has been removed, the adds are better than the 'offs'.

6 Games That Genuinely Deserve A Current-Gen Upgrade

Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.

thorstein28d ago

Mad Max is underrated. Such a fun game.

Cacabunga27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

RDR2 still looks astounding on PS4 Pro. i cannot imagine how it could look with a next gen upgrade.

JonTheGod27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

Probably not very different.

No idea why this article is highlighting recent beautiful graphically-advanced games and saying they need current gen makeovers. They already look better than most new releases; just compare Arkham Knight and Suicide Squad!

exputers27d ago

I see what you did there.

Yi-Long27d ago

It's obviously never gonna happen since Sony killed the game and studio, but Driveclub. Even in its current state, 10 years after release, it still puts many competitors to shame ...

Demetrius26d ago

I'm not into racing games but yeah I even looked at gameplay of that sometimes

Demetrius26d ago

Mad max ikr! Far cry primal, it amuses me how ubisoft just left ac unity hanging, sadly most of the good staff left from rocksteady while being forced to make that abomination smh
