Andee

I soiled myself when I saw this announcement.

I appreciate that PS2 and PS3 were instrumental in popularising the DVD and Blu Ray formats, but I don't use my PS4 to watch anything on; I've already got multiple different devices for that (Chromecast, Multiregional Blu Ray player, tablet), I'll fire up my console solely for gaming, not for watching TV or movies.

The Demon's Souls remake was welcome because it was only ever released on PS3, and from what I've read, doing a straight port was problematic because of the hardware it was built for (ditto MGS4), so being able to play it on a current gen console made sense.

TLOU1 was released at the tail end of the PS3's life and was quickly remastered for PS4, so it's already perfectly playable on PS5. Unless they're going to completely redo it with extra story points and new characters, a la FF7R (and even then I'd be a bit iffy about it), I really don't see the point.

Glad someone mentioned Trash Panic! Good luck finding After Burner Climax on the store these days though; I really wish I'd nabbed Outrun 2006 before it got delisted as well...

@johncalmc I'll get in touch with Haddaway, for the soundtrack

@carlos82 Yeah, '04-06 was where it really peaked; I loved the RPG-lite elements to upgrading your golfer, and I really wish they'd implement something similar to the newer games, (apparently Mario Golf does) and what would absolutely nail it for me would be some sort of cross-game save progression, so you're not starting fresh with each new game.

I can't wait for the spin-off, "I Played I Saw Black Clouds" — featuring even more schlock.

@Spyroescape Shout out to Kula World! Love that little fragile bouncy dude

Yikes...

I actually breathed a sigh of relief when 2K took over the PGA license last year, although it didn't really do much for me and I ended up quickly eBaying it. It'll be interesting to see how both companies vie for superiority, but I'll be over here playing Everybody's/Mario Golf...

I'd like the option of buying one when I'm good and ready; I don't need this whole "register now for a chance to WIN... the chance to spend half a grand on a console thay still doesn't have five must-have exclusives" urgency/FOMO.

"Indeed, we've seen a lot of people say that Ever Crisis could be what they wanted from Final Fantasy VII Remake all along — a 'faithful' remake of the PS1 classic"

Yeah that's pretty much what I'd have been happy with — as much as I enjoyed FFVIIR, and appreciate the work that was put into it, I still have a soft spot for the original, with its quirky designs and traditional combat.

Okay, dream scenario:

MGS Ultimate Legacy Collection Plus:

• Every game in the series from Metal Gear all the way to MGSV
• MGSV gets its ending sorted out, and Hayter re-records all of Snake's lines
• Metal Gear Solid Remake (no wall-climing, just a straight up redo of the first game, in high-def)

Likely scenario:
A Metal Gear-branded talking tie rack.

@XanderTigerclaw The article taglines are a consistent source of merriment on this site

I tried playing SSF2 Turbo HD Remix on PS3 the other day and the D-pad on the DualShock 3 just felt so... spongey. Was it always like that or have the pressure pads perished over time?

@Breekhead That was where my mind went as well — at first I thought it might have been a spiritual follow up from the same people.

Someone stole the schematics from some foolish console manufacturer and found a weakness just like the Death Star. You knock this nut out and bickety-bam, the whole console comes crashing down.

Aw, rats...

It would have been a day-one purchase for me if it had, but in my heart of hearts I kinda knew it was unrealistic - especially for PS3 games. I still have a dozen or so PS3-exclusive games that I keep it hooked up for, but those are slowly being whittled away (oh hello, Scott Pilgrim! )

@nookie_egg @nookie_egg Came here to say exactly this! Figured that'd be a no-brainer...

@Svark Yeah, same — haven't played a decent PGA game since Tiger Woods 2006

@Dan_ozzzy189 I'd much rather have had Duke Ellington's It Don't Mean a Thing (if it ain't got that Swing)

@Deadlyblack the one with the three heads? I finally defeated that git last week — been chipping away at the Switch version for the best part of a year now

Nuthin' on my end — although I let my PS+ sub lapse years ago; I don't play online and I have plenty of games to be getting on with without all the freebies!
