People need to let Silent Hill die . No matter who comes and develops the next game if there is ever going to be another SH game it wont capture what made the first 3 games so special .
Normally I am not happy with these sort of purchases from big corporation studios as we need as much mid tier devs but I always felt housemarque never found its audience despite their excellent games Nex machina being the perfect example of an incredible that sold ver poorly.
Housemarque deserves this security and I much prefer them getting financial stability than not existing at all.
You do know the reason why Nintendo games never drop down in price? Its because Nintendos Ips are ever green games that constantly sell in the millions each year and are always in the top 10 game sale charts charts in europe , asia and america each year .
look at the top best selling games on the switch
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe : 35.39 million
Animal Crossing: New Horizons: 32.63 million
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate :23.84 million
The Legend of Zelda BOTW :22.28 million
Pokémon Sword/Pokémon Shield: 21.10 million
Super Mario Odyssey: 20.83 million
These games still have a high demand that there is no reason for them to drop the games in price . GTA 5 was the exact same even years after its launch it still cost 60 euros.
also nintendo are not forcing you to buy anything , they are not exactly putting a gun to your head making you re-buy games if you are that upset about it .
How exactly can nintendo do backwards compatibility when all their other systems were disk based and nintendo is using catridges ?
every other company does game ports , at least more often than not with nintendo games that were wii u ports had quality of life improvements with new added expansions or content .
Be consistent with your arguments if you are upset with nintendo so called making you rebuy games over and over again you should be equally annoyed with sony not allowing you to play digital games you bought on ps3 to ps4
or making people rebuy Uncharted 1-3 all over again via the uncharted collection and last of us remastered
Ouch ! 4/10 The OG alex kidd game was never really a good game to begin with . I think the only Alex kidd game I ever enjoyed really was Alex Kidd in Shinobi World.
I remember the Paper, Rock Scissors mechanic drove me up the wall . >
If anyone doesn't know yet Ember Labs did The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask: Terrible Fate Fan Film back In 2016.
I cant wait for Kena to come out !! XD
It seems Sony is not the only Company Sponsoring Asobu as one of the other companies is ID Xbox. Currently Asobu has 5 partners with more coming soon .
I like to give the companies the benefit of the doubt since we are in the middle of a pandemic . Its easy to feel upset with these bite sized directs whether its from Sony or Nintendo but at the end of the day these directs will never meet everyones expectations cause everyone always goes into watching these things expecting so much .
The best games usually come in the later half of the calender year around the christmas time so always adjust your expectations.
Remember these directs arent once a year, but remember also companies are trying to work from home now and adjusting to their new working envoirment so expect alot of smaller titles and the perhaps the bigger blockbuster games to be slightly delayed until life can get to somewhat normal again .
its as I said on the previous news thread when 2 key SIJ devs departed the company
[Judging by Sony studio Japans list of games they worked on , their role as a gaming division changed quite drastically at the end of the PS3 lifespan when they made incredible experimental games like( Tokyo Jungle , Echochrome,Patapon and LocoRoco )and it seems at the start of the Playstation 4 lifespan they played more of a supportive role Co-creating games with other devs to help push the games meeting their calender release dates .
It may very well be in this reason that key devs like Fumito Ueda, Masaaki Yamagiwa , Ryo Sogabe ,Keiichiro Toyama and others have left Sony cause there is better opportunities to create indepentant studios and making the games they want to make while they are still young.]

If the rumours are true about the possibility of a new Castlevania game coming out then the only person I trust with the IP is Koji Igarashi.
Same goes for Silent Hill for it to feel anything like how the games were back on the PS1/PS2 it needs to go back to Keiichiro Toyama and his new team .
There has been so many bad Silent Hill games after SH4 cause devs didnt understand the franchise and thought hey! wouldnt it be cool just to throw pyramid head in everything .
Ive seen so many people say give Metal Gear back to Kojima but Kojima stated countless times since MGS1 he was done with the series but the man kept getting death threats and abuse so he made sequels and spin offs until he left konami . I dont think he wants anything to do with that series anymore .
Its not as simple as companies like microsoft coming in and buying Sega because The Japanese government put strict restrictions for foreign companies buying Japanese companies back in 2019.
As it has been mentioned already The restructuring has been the cause of Covid and the damage it has done to arcades In Japan and other areas surrounding Sega Sammy.
Sega are still much more than a gaming company since they make toys and own movie studios.
I feel sorry for all the development team who have worked on this game and had to go through all that crunch time to try to release the game as best as possible , especially during this crazy pandemic only for their work to be somewhat tainted by the decisions of the higher ups at CDProjekt red to release the game in this unfinished state just to get it on store shelves for the holiday season .
The Apology is half baked imho , they purposely held back footage from consumers full well knowing the game was in a bad unplayable state , even with people reporting key characters go missing and you cant advance in the story in all platforms they thought they could pull a sly one and just release it and patch it later .
People really should know by now never to pre order agame , no matter who the developer is . The fact they are talking about releasing patches till 2021 to fix this game , I can see alot of people trading in their copies and moving on to other games down the line .
@thefourfoldroot I have been learning Japanese for almost 6 years. Jim was most def reading off a script . His pronunciations were very beginner level but overall he didnt do that bad of a job to get his message out to the Japanese Audience. No one should ever feel cringe towards someone trying to speak another persons native tongue thats not theirs . =)
Astro Playroom secretly is playstation 5 best launch game and the closest rival to Nintendo Platformers in quite along time .
its a shame really Sony wont invest more heavily into making Astro a series of games . Asobi team are absoutely incredible!
LOL to the fact that it was bad enough sony having half a game behind a paywall with playstation plus which they increased an extra €10 from €50 to €60 , now on top of that games have increased an extra €20 to €80 in Europe . so in total to get the full experience of a game you have to pay a grand total of €140 ??
The world is about to enter the worlds biggest recession , and if Sony really thinks more people will be buying games at full price they really have lost touch with their consumer base
I never forget the first time I saw Demon souls , a random gaming article I stumbled upon was talking about how amazing the game was and I was so intrigued , I could not wait for the american release of the game , so I went straight onto ebay and bought a chinese copy of the game cause it was in english . Demons souls is still my favourite game of all time but Demons souls , Dark souls and Bloodborne will forever be the holy grail of Action RPGs
i remembered around the time Tetris effect was announced at E3 , I said in a live stream that the hype for Virtual had died , and Sony has abandoned PSVR faster than the Playstation Vita and the amount of hate I got that day from blind fanboys was madness .
Sony has a track record of abandoning ship if their products dont take off , and while I love my Playstation Vr , alot of a games that were going to sell the headset were tacked on short experiences with VR support . Sony made hardly any psvr games in house and just relied on 3rd party devs to try to push the headset.
Its very hard to market to people to buy a psvr headset for 250-400 euros. you need to experience it to understand it . its unforunate but nor surprising
There should be a work around for allowing people to get their Playstation 5 on release day . If many can go to a supermarket , surely people should be allowed to get their playstation 5 and go home , especially considering there is a low quantity of Playstations around the world at launch .
If they are concerned about people being at risk catching Covid,
All they have to do is not allow people inside the store and keep a distance from each other and line up with their pre orders ready .
How many Playstation 5s will be available in Norway at launch Anyways ?
@Unffclcntrllerpd Why exactly does it hurt that its captured on Xbox series x ? its coming to Playstation regardless, Its really unhealthy to have such a loyalty towards a brand.
Videogames are more important than the plastic box you play it on .
I have my Playstation 5 on pre order but I am only using my ps5 to play my ps4 backlog until those game prices drop down in price. This hobby is already expensive enough as it is , and on top of a recession I refuse to pay 70-80 euros for games.
With the exception of the announcement trailer , has their been any other in-depth look at gameplay with this game ? its so bizarre the game has a price tag of 70 euros and we barely saw any gameplay ? :S
Those game prices in europe are very sour for me to accept , I like videogames but I do not love them enough to pay 80 euros. We are about to face the worst recession the world has ever seen , I would be very surprised if these game prices still remain the way they are now.
Making games may have gone up with each new generation but more people than ever play and buy games .
Luckily I can play my backlog on ps4 till ps5 game prices drop down , but overall it does not bother me , I can just play games on my pc if these console prices of games remain throughout the generation
I got my Playstation 1 in 1997 for my 7th birthday with Tekken 2. Before that I had a Sega Megadrive which was the first console I ever owned. I also had a Nes and a Snes my uncle gifted me . Needless to say I was a spoiled child. :3

Re: Sony Backtracks PS3, PS Vita Online Store Closures
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he did not exist.
The ending Quote from Jim when he says [we’re always listening and appreciate the support from our PlayStation community."] is nothing but a lie .
If they were truly listening to fans they would of also reversed the decision putting a price hike on all of their 1st party exclusives .
Sony will not get any kudos from me correcting a bad decision .
Re: Soapbox: The Real Problem with Sony's State of Play Livestreams
