Maybe a bomba for the state of play?
Just curious what does the word Bomba imply here?

Big news bomb.

This game looks interesting, but not so interesting to tear up my backlog for. If it was PS+, that'd change, and the Devs would get a nice lump sum into the bargain too.
I think Sony are taking PS+ on PS5 more seriously than they did in the early PS4 days. There's not been a single month where I haven't immediately downloaded at least one game.

It does look like a nice little platformer but one thing I've been wondering does it push any boundaries

We don’t know if this is a good game?

ah gotcha, i remember coming across this bomba word elsewhere for some other game that had a news thread on the game receiving terrible review scores.

Indeed however from what we saw and read it seems like it will be an amazing game also it's not GAAS or online-only which is a plus

Seems like this would have been a simple "no" if it wasn't, could be wrong.
If it is, it really could go either way. Games that were added to PS+ either on release or very close to range from Rocket League and Fall Guys, which explode in popularity, to, well, Bugsnax and Destruction All-Stars. And I even liked Bugsnax, but won't pretend it set the world on fire.
Really hope this isn't suggesting Kena is being sent out because they're not confident that people would pay the price tag. As long as this game plays "fine" I'll take it just for the visual style, it blows me away.

Apparently next month but there hasn't been anything announced so unless we hear something on SoP I expect this to be pushed back.

Maybe is just a small 5-6 hours game,who knows.
It's not like indie devs can't make great graphic, when the vanishing of ethan carter came out it had some of the best graphic on pc, but it was a very small game.

Does it have to? Won’t it be enough if it’s just a good or great game.

Unless I missed something else, it outsold Octodad, which means it's sold roughly 200k copies. That's great for them, not taking that away, but again, isn't setting the world on fire. Especially next to stuff like Fall Guys which is at what, 11 million copies? I know it's MP and kinda unfair, like you said, but it's just a general idea of the scope. Not saying Kena needs to be the next Twitch hit, it's not that kind of game, but shipping a game day one on PS+ does imply that either that's what they're going for, or they think it needs a helping hand like Bugsnax did. No way in hell that game was selling 200k copies without a lot of people playing it on PS+ first and saying "yeah it's ok actually". Same reason Destruction All-Stars went from a $70 price tag to a PS+ game, they knew people needed a nudge, although that case is way more extreme.

Well, there have been at least 4 day one Plus games on PS5, so why not?

Specially agreed in this case, as Kena seems to be a great game, that type that really fits my "Awesome Game!" criteria lol.
Would love to grab it on Plus, but I'm willing to pay for it anyway.
This game is grappling with a couple more different elements than ethan carter though. Considering that this game is third person and an action game as well. Don't get me wrong although I'm trying to keep my expectations low for the game I am still really looking forward to it. Just got through re-watching the trailer for this game and it got me hyped for the game but at the same time I'm shocked at how that trailer is the only info we have on the game. Even visited the website and it looked like more of the same stuff.

Where the hell are you getting it’s a shitty mobile platformer? Nothing that’s been shown has shown that and neither did game informers cover story. Going by your logic you must not play many games because there’s fuck all boundary pushing games nowadays if any. Gamers have seen and played pretty much everything and now it’s all about a game just being mechanically solid and doing what it sets out to do well.

Vanishing was barely a game. Good one, but barely a game. It was also made mostly with photogrametry by industry veterans.

There is definitely a big reason they didn't announce the Plus gamesyesterday, as they always do the Wednesday before.

I'll say this game really should not be a PS+ game. If it's as good as it looks, it won't have trouble selling.
But, I guess I won't complain if it's PS+.

I just checked and the devs said its not a full price title (They said "not $60"), I wonder how much it'll cost. I'm fine if its a short but tight experience, like RE, even without the replayability part of RE maybe just something a little extra if you want to stay in the world longer, like Journey's collectibles, not necessarily collectibles but just something extra like changing that village we saw in some way.
Maybe none of that is appropriate for the type of game it is though so I'm just excited to find out more, roll on 10pm GMT I say. I wish Returnal was on PS Plus instead of Destruction All-Stars since the leaked playtester information made it sound like it was primarily an offline game, but its all online so I don't give a monkeys.
Back OT: Animation and model quality of Kena looks stunning, really getting to that place where it just looks so clean jaggies are a thing of the past, even playing Wolfenstein: New Order ~6 years ago, I went back to it recently and in 4K it still looked like a crawling mess, temporal AA was needed so badly for that engine and now its just a thing you fire on and forget about in Doom Eternal. Imagine you watched a Pixar film and one of the characters eyeballs had vibrating, crawling aliasing on their eyes during a pivotal scene. It would be baws.
Oh no I've talked about pixels and graphics again sorry gameplay-men!! I don't care about graphics really I'll play in 720p from now on and keep my tweaker mouth shut I promise!

Ask me about my Stream Deck
So according to GAF, PlayStation players are getting Ratchet and clank, destruction all stars, final fantasy 7 remake and Kena for free in March?

Maybe to distract the fanboys.

I mean ... Why would ps fanboys get mad if pc gamers had to pay for games ps fanboys get for free on PlayStation?

That's not what "bomba" means though, it means a game bombed and sold terribly.
