Nice guide. I was always a big fan of Umbrella Chronicles, I think it gets a bad rap. Definitely better than RE6. Dark side chronicles I thought was crap. Canara was way too jerky - it was impossible to aim
This is a great idea. Like @thefrenchiestfry said - I just want a solution.
I am actually one of the crazy people who bought a polymega - but this is mainly for the Saturn games.
It's a great idea to build and/or sell the emulator. Then you can also sell the games digitally, but if you have the disk you are great. Plus it opens up publishers being able to release limited runs again. Imagine squenix releasing ff7 again on PS1!
@get2sammyb I only ever use my phone to use the internet so everything is taken from there. But generally I find them just not that easy to navigate. I think you guys have an article template and are building it into that. For me it needs a bit more bespoke like the IGN wiki template (when it works) or how gamefaqs works when it's a html base (so contents and navigation in drop downs etc)
The new website is so bad. I have no prices or add to basket buttons. Tried on my phone and also on desktop. Give me a job Sony so I can come and fix *****!
He's probably shot himself in the foot here. I think a lot of companies will have policies on resell. They can't stop influencers doing it but they'll think twice about sending him free things in the future
Ugh. Actually quite a few games I own. I guess I still need to Keep my PS4 around for a while then I hope Sony are learning from Microsoft and trying to fix some of them! I doubt it but there's some first party games on there so there's no excuse!
@HMazzy111 It also means Microsoft can stop production of the current gen entirely and get much better pricing on parts for the new gen and turn a profit quicker.
@playstation1995 do you mean review scores then? I mean my personal "scores". If I rate something a 6 then that can't be better than a game I rate an 8!
@playstation1995 Haha, to be fair I agree. My problem is there are so many 8-9/10 games that there's just not time for "good" games. For me unfortunately a 6/10 isn't worth the time 😞
I read a few people saying this is as bad as Anthem. I played that beta too but not the main game, my feeling is that gameplay wise - yes this is just as bad. But a lot more thought has gone into the story and that feels a lot more interesting. Based on the beta alone anthem was 6/10 for me, this is 7/10
This was bound to happen. As people have already pointed out games have been at $60 for nearly 10 years now. Just think about how wages have changed in the last 10 years alone. Plus all the additional costs of development that weren't there before, new console to work around etc etc. I think generally we undervalue games (myself included) - especially if you compare to films.
@KisekiFan7 maybe pleased was the wrong word. I'm a huge fan of the series so also really excited for this game, but I get very overwhelmed with how many great games are out there that I want to play and a delay means more time to make it great and more time for me to catch up.
I hope for a 4th but I hope they approach it differently. The third game needed to be a call back and be super nostalgic but 4 needs to bring the game to the 21st century and modernise things - and offer some way of catching up on 1-3 to keep the story open to new people
More and more I'm starting to think it's a company's responsibility (as well as a good business decision) to make their back catalogue available. Think what Capcom have done with the RE series by making them available on every console ever. Makes things so much more accessible.
I'm wanting to play some old Sega Saturn / mega CD games at the moment and its basically impossible!
It's hard now. Because we're so late in the lifecycle I own most good games now. Had batman for ages - it's a great game so should I complain about it?
Not that interested in darksiders. Not played the first two - they've been free on various things so I do own them!
This is great news. I think they released too many games before. It was just too hard to keep up. Less releases/more variety in game play is the way forward
I wonder if they're thinking about it differently. There's been a while saga of ff7 content so it could be they plan to include more. Maybe I'm being hopeful here but it could be a good way to flesh it out!
It would be great to have modern reimaginings of all the games. 3 was never a favourite of mine but I'd still like to see it happen. Code Veronica however...
I rarely comment on stuff like this but I feel like I need to give some feedback on the review.
It's really poor.
I don't feel like I get any understanding of what this game is about. What the new additions are and whether it's worth getting if I've already played the game.
As a Vita owner it's pretty important to me to understand what is new and if it's worth it!
@belmont @deadlyblack @apostatemage I'm sure I read that it would have dlc for ps4 and pc. I own the Vita version so not sure if that will get it or not
Currently playing this on ps3 so a little annoying i didn't wait a bit. That said I'm not loving. It's a solid 7/10, but for some reason jrpg sequels always seem to add in some bizarre maguffin or plot point completely unrelated to the first, rather than tell an interesting story about the world or characters
I'm eager to get into this series. I have zero, as well as a couple of the ps3 games but not started any as it's a bit daunting to start another series of 7 titles!

Re: PS3, PS Vita, and PSP Online Stores to Close This Summer, Says New Report
Bit disappointed but not a surprise.
If we can't download from there need to work out if there's a way to back everything up on a hard drive...
My Vita is really struggling right now anyway. Buttons not working great...
Re: Tales of Vesperia Was Definitive Enough to Reach One Million Sales
Surprised it took that long. Considering its one of the most loved in the series.
Makes me wonder what the lifetime sales are of the other games? It explains why they don't put much effort into porting anything else

Re: Talking Point: What Content Do You Want from Push Square?
This is my go to site for PlayStation news, and more recently reviews as well. I also like the round ups you do.
Frankly you and Nintendo life are my go to websites. So pleased purexbox got relaunched too.
I do think your guides could be a bit more user friendly though
Re: Resident Evil 4 Remake Targets 2023 Launch After Development Reboot, Says New Report
@TheFrenchiestFry agreed! I wouldn't mind a nice new lock of paint, but code Veronica, zero and 1 could do with it more!

Re: PS5 In-Game Hints and Tips System Requires PS Plus Subscription
I love the idea but I feel like it will be too much effort and eventually dropped... Needs people to use it a lot!

Re: Action RPG Tales of Arise Delayed, No New Release Window Given
Kinda pleased. Only just got to Tales of Berseria... Which is great. But wanted a bit of a break before the next one.
Also more time for my backlog is always good

Re: PSP RPGs The Legend of Heroes: Zero no Kiseki and Ao no Kiseki PS4 Ports Teased by Falcom
Didn't they already port these to PS3?
I really want to get into the series (own most of them!) But just don't have the time to invest in a new set of RPGs!
Re: Alan Wake Could Come to PS4 Following Publisher Rights Purchase
This works super well for me. My only reason to purchase Xbox was if Alan Wake 2 ever came to fruition!
I hope this means they will look at a rerelease to gauge interest

Re: Rumour: Is This Leaked Footage of a Harry Potter RPG Legit?
Persona at Hogwarts. Sounds like money to me
Re: Excellent JRPGs Trails of Cold Steel I and II Confirmed for PS4 in the West
High on my list for a while but have too many other jrpgs so have put this series on the back burner.
I'd prefer switch releases though as I think they lend themselves to portable and no way they'll do 3 or 4 on Vita now

Re: PlayStation Beats Nintendo and Xbox By Some Distance in UK, US Brand Recognition Surveys
This seems like a bit of a bizarre list. Where's Disney? Nike? Surely Marvel is quite high at the moment? Surely higher than Android!
Re: Bandai Namco Is 'Planning' Tales Remakes and Remasters Based on Fan Requests
I'd like them to slowly re-release all the tales of games. The old ones are so inaccessible now (except symphonia).
I've been trying to play all of them I can so just zestiria and berseria to go of the ps3-ps4 gen ones.
Although I love graces and xillia I probably wouldn't buy a remaster yet.
Also platform of choice is switch - makes older games less hard work if it's portable for some reason!

Re: Ni no Kuni II's Season Pass DLC Is Nowhere to Be Seen Four Months After Release

I haven't bought the game because of the season pass. I don't play games until "finished"

Re: Is the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection Sneaking to PS4?
I’m surprised this hasn’t happened already. Seems like a no brainer for Konami.
That said obviously everyone wants a remake of the first (or a port of twin snakes)
