@Haru17 Never played the other entries in the franchise, is that a problem?

@Octane Nope. Human Revolution and now Mankind Divided (which is set 2 years later) are both prequels to the first two games anyway. Mankind Divided even has a recap video (it's on youtube too) for Human Revolution. All you really need to know (so '11 spoilers I guess) is that Hugh Darrow, the regretful progenitor of human cybernetic augmentation, set off an update that turned nearly all of the augmented people in the world into murderous rage monsters for a good bit. Protag Adam "I didn't ask for this" Jensen stopped it on this huge oceanic instillation built to combat global warming, Panchaea, before it was destroyed. He got fished out of the Arctic Ocean and is now a counterterrorism agent. The whole "robots murdering people" thing is now known as the "Aug Incident" and people aren't too happy about it. Cue title screen!

@Haru17 It is really good as a game or is it really good because of Knuckles?

@Grumblevolcano I don't understand the distinction you're trying to draw or your joke

@Haru17

@Grumblevolcano (How would anyone possibly have—) Sure, yeah. I guess that... okay, what?!

btw sony pre tgs conference dated for sept. 13th.

@Haru17 In that case I think I'll watch the recap video instead

@WebHead One last TLG push probably. Hopefully some Gravity Rush too. I'd like to see more of Days Gone as well, but I think that won't happen until PSX. Oh, and new games of course. Last year had plenty of surprise announcements during the latter half of the year, I hope this year will be even better.

@Octane I think PSX might make more sense for Gravity Rush 2. Even if it's after the launch date, the more space you can give it after Final Fantasy XV the better.

@Haru17 Since it's made by their Japan studio, I think TGS makes the most sense. The game could really use a little marketing push before its release.

@Octane I'm sure it'll be at TGS, but I don't see what good marketing will do with the week it ended up with. Anyway, I don't think it's as launch-dependent as normal AAAs.

isnt sony japan studio rumored to be working on a big jrpg new ip?

@Haru17 Gravity Rush 2 wasnt going to be a multi million seller to begin with. I'm sure that there's a dedicated fan base that will get the game regardless of the other games that will be available during that week. We've had multiple big games release at the same time in the past, sure, there's always competition, but I think it should be fine.

Okay, so I'm not the only one who feels like they just walked into crazy land. That's good to know. Good for my mental health.

I've yet to play any of the Deus Ex games.

I played the demo of the 2000 game. Does that count? I mean, it was a total mess, and I had no idea what I was doing, it kinda seemed like I needed 5 hands just to play it....

Ten years ago, as a college student, I would have gladly purchased and played the new Deus Ex however, ten years has changed me and I would much prefer to play the likes of ABZÛ, Bound, Hyper Light Drifter, No Man's Sky, Alone With You and INSIDE than a big blockbuster game like Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.

Not to say that it isn't a good game, just that I like short(er) and unique little games these days.

Yeah, College is pretty good at breaking your spirit like that.

so uh sony aint too happy about the ps4 slim leaks. any youtube channel that shows leajed footage or pics are apparently getting copyright strikes.
