Re: Persona 3 Reload, Persona 5 Tactica Finally Confirmed for PS5, PS4 After Xbox Embargo Lifts

Ashina

@Rmg0731 I feel like MS is delaying the announcement for other platforms even more for Metaphor since it is a new IP from Atlus and they wanted to keep the buzz of it being an Xbox game more than the Persona games

@AsterZero I really don't believe in rumors lately and didn't Nintendo said they don't have any plans to release a new system anytime soon? Whatever the case, by the time Persona 3 Reload launches, there won't be any new Nintendo hardware so either release the game on the Switch or Nintendo fans are gonna wait that long until they can play it on the next-gen Nintendo console.

@HotGoomba yeah, I've seen this "leaked" boxart though really didn't believe it until an official announcement. Doesn't mean it's not coming out on Switch. Maybe we'll see it happen during a Nintendo Direct but let's wait.

Re: Persona 5 Tactica Is Launching This Year, But No Mention of PS5, PS4 Yet

Ashina

Not sure how I feel about this. Not a big fan of strategy games (outside of Disgaea and SD Gundam Generation games) and I am getting burnt out by P5 contents.

My gripes aside, this will get a PS5/Switch release no doubt. Not throwing any shades on Xbox but for a niche game like this, Sega would be crazy to only sell this game on that platform considering how it's doing in Japan.

Re: Surprise! Persona 3 Reload Is Real, and It Definitely Didn't Leak

Ashina

@johnny30 Like everyone said, the press releases of the announced 3rd party games listed other platforms shortly after Son'ys showcase. Rather weird that MS is holding an embargo for platform announcements. I can only guess that they wanted to build more hype for their platforms. More people likely are gonna end up playing the games on PS or Switch anyway and MS is aware of that,

@Cashews well, I did say "most" but yes, that's quite an interesting new IP from Capcom in today's showcase

Re: Persona 5 Tactica Launches 17th November, Persona 3 Reload Early 2024

Ashina

@NomNom It's not Atlus that MS is besties with, it's Sega. They have some connections since the Dreamcast was developed in collaboration with MS

P3 was the first Persona game I've played back in the PS2 era and still to this day, my favorite Persona game. Definitely excited for this. I just hope this doesn't come out the same month as FFVII Rebirth. It's going to be multi-plat as well and MS just got the marketing right since they are close with Sega.

As for P5T, well, I'm ready to move on from anything P5 related at this point. They've already milked this out enough.

Re: Days Gone Dev Hard at Work on Its Best Game Yet for PS5

Ashina

Give them the benefit of the doubt. Take all the time they need to make a great game. With how many games coming out unfinished recently, it's good that some devs are taking their time to cook their games. 2023 is already packed with games as it is and should keep many of us busy anyway

Re: Round Up: What Was Announced at the PlayStation Showcase?

Ashina

Some of the game highlights for me:

  • MGS Delta: Snake Eater + MGS collection Vol.1
  • Granblue Fantasy Relink getting a Winter 2023 release date (pls do not delay anymore)
  • Spider-Man 2. Wasn't really that much hyped for this but seeing that gameplay made me excited even more now.
  • Phantom Blade 0 with that sick combat mechanic
  • Tower of Fantasy finally releasing on PS5 (I just want to play another F2P game other than Genshin Impact lmao)

Overall, it was an OK showcase but definitely lacking and not really worth the hype.

Re: Poll: Was This Sony's Best PlayStation Showcase Yet?

Ashina

It was okay, so many shooters but they don't appeal to me personally so they're pretty meh in my book. MGS3 remake + HD collection was the highlight for me and while the release date wasn't specified, I'm glad Grand Blue Fantasy Relink will finally get a winter 2023 release (I hope there are no delays).

Tower of Fantasy coming to PS5 seems to fly under everyone's radar but understandable and lastly, Spider-Man 2, which looks really good.

Overall, this was a pretty mid presentation. Lots of games but not really worth the hype.

Re: PlayStation Well Ahead of Nintendo, Xbox In Terms of Brand Momentum, Says Sony

Ashina

insert Obama giving Obama a medal meme
Man, Sony is really showing off, though they do have some numbers to show for it.

I expect that the Switch's momentum will slow down a little after ToTK. There's really no big Nintendo game around the corner after (unless by miracle, they finally announce Metroid Prime 4).

Still, I wouldn't underestimate Nintendo. You never know what they have under their sleeves.

Re: Mortal Kombat 1 PS5 Gameplay Reveal Skipping PS Showcase

Ashina

I was expecting a MK1 trailer in the PS showcase since Sony loves to show fighting games. Even if this won't be in the showcase, there's going to be a fighting game related trailer there. Since this is already very unlikely, my money will go to another Tekken character reveal (possibly Yoshimitsu).

Re: No Final Fantasy 16 DLC Planned, Said to Be a 'One-Off Game'

Ashina

lmao, they really are avoiding the FFXV situation.

Well, as long as the game will be able to tell a great story without any loose ends, then it's all good for me. Sekiro also didn't have any DLC despite fan requests but overall, it was a great game with enough lore to tell. No need to expand its story

Re: Final Fantasy 16 Is So Polished, It Doesn't Need a Day One Patch

Ashina

No game is perfect and there will always be bugs and glitches but as long as they're not game-breaking nor they hinder the gameplay experience, I'm fine with it.

It's just sad that we're at a time where day 1 patches are a norm for AAA games and this is kind of a news. Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate the devs wanting the game to be playable with almost no issues upon launch.

Re: Xbox Boss Admits Microsoft Can't 'Outconsole' PS5

Ashina

I'm sure Phil is a great guy but he sure sounds like a poor car salesman right now. Pretty sure his narrative will change once Starfield comes out and it impresses everyone (assuming that it will actually meet expectations that is).
