Absolutely incredible demo! I already preordered it but man what and exclamation point this is. I'm really enjoying others reactions. I dont really wan t to play anything else till June 22.

Big waste of time, Pragmata is the new Deep Down, I dont expect to ever play it.

This is sad because the gsme actually looks fun, I think the music was the biggest issue with the trailer. That and people were clearly expecting the Sands of Time Remake and not this.

I tries the Lie of p demo, its not bad but I'm not 100 sold on the combat. I'll be trying to recover from this fever and then may play some Octopath Traveler 2 and wait for the Final Fantasy XVI demo to drop on Sunday 😉

I preordered it so I guess it's working.

I recently bought this and its fantastic! It deserves all the praise. What SE sales targets were are anyone's guess but I would be surprised if it got crowded out by the crazy amount of games that released this year.

@OrtadragoonX Honestly it only help alittle and more for Prompto than they others. The Royal edition should have included the anime now that I think about it!

@Tharsman TBF I was more referring to Twitter comments and no so much PushSquare but I didnt really make that clear.

@Keyblade-Dan yeah I'm not keen on believing what "Insiders" say is happening behind closed doors. No one was concerned about this before this report, it was being praised for sticking g to one platform and being optimized. Now I'm seeing comments about "they should have released on PS4 too" or "this is what happens when you sign exclusivity deals" 🙄🙄🙄

@AdamNovice FF15 even had an anime!

I'm about 28 hours into Octopath Traveler 2 on PS5 and it's really coming together. A great in between game to lead up to Final Fantasy XVI. Happy gaming everybody!

@Ear_wiG Exactly what I was thinking. That or it's a DJ Hero clone: Persona 5 Turntable

@KidRyan I mean... they HAVE TO. Its gotta be a trophy too 😅

Wooooo! June 11 cant get here fast enough 🤩

I'm counting down to the FF XVI demo! Cant wait for the full release, I took 5 days vacation for it.

Shocker! Ill chase you to The ENDS OF THE EARTH

Ohhhh yeaaaaaaaah Bruthaa!!!

Nonday is a holiday here so I will be furthering my playthrough of Octopath Traveler 2 on PS5. This game is great! I highly recommend trying the demo. I started with Osvalds story.

So Jason schrier says Bungie look at Factions and said it wouldnt hold players interest for very long.

Sounds to me like it would have been just fine as a stand alone multiplayer project but wasnt "live servicey" enough.

Granted a big name like TLoU has a better chance of being a successful live service than FairGame$
But still, just release it already!

Like I said on twitter I think Sony wants Tv/Movie content to coincide with game releases. The rumored HZD remake will obviously release close the Netflix show and so on. But still they could have done a quick Teaser trailer at least!

I told yall the demo is gonna drop during the June 11 livestream event 😑

Yeah this was disappointing. The games are ok but not what I was hoping for and not what I think PS needs to cement themselves. 1st Party is still a big question mark.

@pyrrhic_victory "Lars Wingefors is the cofounder and CEO of Embracer Group, Europe's biggest gaming company" This guy is having a really bad day 🙁

@AverageGamer I doubt that they have the rights. But I think it should have been offered to them. If this deal was anything like FFXVI Sony was probably going to provide some development support. With that much money and resources at stake better to Liscense the ip to Sony for 1 game.

Wow, I always believed high profile projects like this should be handled by more accomplished studios. Had Sony Bend or another PS Studio been on this it would have faired much much better. Even if it was a timed exclusive.

This is shocking! But great. I really hope the dev team get some hefty bonuses for delivering quality and on/ahead of schedule!

@Fishnpeas in a shocking twist it was actually my wife's idea that I should take a week for FFXVI 😳

@Fishnpeas Me too, took a full week off for 16!

I was pretty sure the demo will drop on June 11 during the FFXVI live event but man it would be amazing if it did release during the PS Showcase 😀

@get2sammyb Did you feel there was enough to do in the world besides combat to keep it interesting? Like Finding items, secrets ect?

. Hopefully the story will be engaging enough to carry me through till more eikon powers are available. Seems they are going the FF15 route with the opening scene then a backwards time jump.

@get2sammyb Regarding the combat progression, was there combat upgrade options available during your demo? I'm wo dering if they intended for unlockable upgrades to provide variety in between new eikon powers.

@Link41x that river sequence was mindblowing back in 2012. I hope Golden Abyss gets a "HD" port someday.

I finally 100% the Burning Shores and gave the Octopath Traveler 2 demo a try and boy oh boy did I enjoy it! So I should be playing that this weekend.

Hoping to finish off the story in The Burning Shores this weekend. Then clean up trophies in Ragnorok (nee saying that for months) till the FFXVI demo drops 😂

PS3 for me especially after the Slim updates the start up sound to more string instruments.

Seems odd for FF XVI to show up on June 8th then have their live streamed event on June 11 (presumably dropping the demo) then launch on June 22. But hey why not? 🤷🏾‍♂️

I didnt gel that well with RIME when it finally came out. So I wasn that intrigued by this when it was Stadia Exclusive. I'd give it a shot though after FF XVI.

I hope this works out better for them than it did for Xbox One...

@Th3solution
@KaijuKaiser @JustPlainLoco @Pepsiman_100

Exactly! People say games weren't marketed enough but forget that a smaller budget title means a smaller marketing budget. You cant spend the same on marketing a game like Concrete Genie as you would Spiderman 2 because the return wont be the same.

@JustPlainLoco You said EXACTLY what I was going to, word for word!

@ThorsHammer Yeah, I loved Rain but so few people even know about it. I feel Puppeteer was probably one of the nails in the Japan studio coffin sadly, along with Gravity Rush 2. Great experiences that just didnt sell. It's funny how based on online chatter/sentiment (Especially for Gravity Rush) you would think these titles would sell really well but in reality they dont.
I bought it day one but none of my friends did.

@ThorsHammer "This, along with the closure of Dreams, feels like an end to Shuhei's left over experiments."

You make a good point, when Shu was Head of PS Studios creativity was really encouraged and teams got alot of freedom. I liked that. But if I'm honest it was also a time with alot of games that had bloated development time like Dreams taking nearly 7 years, The Last Guardian taking over 7 years and games from Japan Studios not selling well. It seems the new regime want to put a stop to that ☹

So remember, the next time you see "improves system stability" dont scoff!

Nice! I didnt run into any issues but more stability is always welcome. I'm almost finished the story missions.

Meh, nothing here for me.

@theheadofabroom For me I played MM about 2yrs after Spiderman PS4 and felt like it would have been better as a direct continuation. Be careful for Burning Shores Spoilers, they are everywhere! 😑

@playstation1995 BEST. WEEKEND. EVER.

@theheadofabroom Go for it! Spider-man 2 is months away and it will be hard going back to MM after playing it. Just take a good "palette cleanser" game afterwards and you'll be good 👍🏽 Turnbased games usually do the trick for me.

I'm still taking my sweet time with Aloy in the Burning Shores. Best looking game out there and they somehow improved it!
I gave a Plague Tale Innocence a try but didnt really like it.

@Titntin Same here, I voted 9. I'm taking my time with and exploring and it is SO MUCH FUN.
