Just wish it would support discs, even with a disclaimer about compatibility and not including new trophy support etc. Just be nice to have access to it. No reason we couldn't be playing DVD rom PS2 games on Ps4/5 right now

I mean presumably other images in an air explosion pack also contain moments of tragedy...just less well known.

Needs David Olusoga doing narration

Reminds me of Machio Naruzou from How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift? lol

What sacrifice was made to allow such a substandard series to get this sort treatment. Almost every game has a modern port and no matter how underwhelming the game gets new entries and now full blown remakes.

Makes this Tales fan weep lol

I found it a little strange at the time that the NIS collections skipped PS4. Now even more so that the sequel to Phantom Brave is coming over.

Didn't buy Tekken 2 but if it gets trophies I doubt I could resist

Make the game less pretty, like waaaay less. Not that 3 is a great looking game but it is graphically taxing.

If a sequel looked closer to a PS3 game, maybe cel shaded or more Anime in design it could be way cheaper to produce.

It's frustrating that the vision can't be made smaller, nothing about the series needs to be big budget or graphically intense.

Hell you could make it look like an up-res Dreamcast game and fans would be happy. They would probably even prefer it and how cheap and easy (relatively) would that be to make these days?

The industry has conditioned its hardcore base to expect a blowout of big new reveals every summer. Just another thing to disappoint those who prop up the industry. Gaming is not in a good place right now, it's as bland and uninspired at that top AAA tier as it has ever been.

Weirdly as tech has developed in other industries it has allowed for more creativity and more tastes and genres to be explored and reach bigger audiences, TV and Music for example.

But for Gaming, at the top tier it has seen the opposite, as the tech has improved the variety has in turn lessened over and over again each generation. To the point where the current generation of systems almost feels like a write off.

The original game, while good, was never THAT good to warrant all the time and human effort that has gone into this remake.

If this is a megahit then maybe there is hope that Asobi will just become the new Japan Studio and slowly expand and circle back around if you will. One can hope.

Concord looked like the most creatively bankrupt focus tested garbage I've seen in a very long time.

Then they showed what looked like 3 identical souls likes.

Only title that looked remotely good/memorable was Astro Bot.

Neat but at what point is this not depressing also? Why can't sony push out a small <£20 title for Ape Escape, Parappa or even Toro Inoue once or twice a year? Would bring a fun side to an otherwise darkly over serious Sony. Astrobot currently being the only relief from that.

@Smithylfc2008 It's so dumb. That is 11pm for us, Midnight for most of the rest of Europe. Crazy for what is Sony's biggest market.

Election and a Showcase???

If this doesn't "fix" game pass for them and in turn Xbox in general they are so done as a console player long term.

Sony should be crapping out games like this 3 times a year. The whole industry is a mess.

Less particles, cut scenes and pretty textures, just give us more games.

Don't ever want to hear companies complain that games didn't meet sales expectations etc or that it's hard to recoup cost when they seemingly value data harvesting more than just straight up sales.

Decisions like these are completely moronic.

I think there is an argument also that those of us who went digital still like to buy our games outright too. So while there is value in these subscriptions in terms of volume if you compare that to the monthly cost and then to the time it takes to finish lets say a sizable single player experience and then again compare that to how low some of these games go in price in sales then yeah at least in my friends group we opt to actually just buy the the game outright.

Like all the Yakuza games are/were on the service, but to buy every game between 0-6 costs only about the same as 3 months of the service when they are on sale (which is often). And there is more than 3 months worth of game playing in them. Also the DLC isn't included in the Plus service.

Honestly I don't see the value in the subscription long term. Might be fun for abit but ultimately I think buying games on Sale is actually a far far far better deal.

Man those folks at Warner Bros are so smart

Maybe make games cheaper? Less graphically intense? Though honestly I'm sure the tail on this will be long as it goes on discounts over the years. But if games understandably need to make a profit faster then make them cheaper to make, firstly by making the graphics less fancy. Sometimes we can't afford nice things and maybe the video game industry needs to realize that.

Imagine how much more money they'd of probably made if they put this games budget into a new Dino Crisis instead.

Some amount of suits just had to have their live service game.

Season 3?! The state of games I swear, Foamstars isn't even 2 months old.

Pikachu is 12??? lol.

Should be

1.Mario
2.Pikachu
3.Sonic

then we can argue about Link, Pac-Man and maybe Lara Croft.

@Zeke68 @Flaming_Kaiser This isn't a necessary comment but given people so often type things they don't follow through on I thought I would update to say that I did sell the ps5. I'll probably come back to it in the future but for now I knew I didn't need it.

Not that I expect you to care obviously, I just thought I'd mention it.

Too late, greed killed the game and good riddance

@Zeke68 it is the slim, I've heard the original model is quieter. The slim has a terrible fan hum whatever game I play on it. Even Arcade Archive games get the fan going, my pro is silent by comparison.

Fortunately my pro is very quiet, but I don't play really intense games. Most graphically intense game i played on ps4 the regular is rocket league lol.

So not trolling but definitely not a usual case I admit.

I bought one in the last sale and honestly I have barely touched it. I prefer the experience on my ps4 pro, the controller is nicer, the console is quiter and the party chat is better quality. There are no games on ps5 I want to play and the few ps4 games that play better on there I'm putting off playing for games that play just fine on ps4.

Biggest mistake I made this year is buying a ps5, it offers nothing unless you just have to play the flashiest, most graphically intense games. Those aren't my jam.

I should sell it tbh.

didn't know this was even being done, nice surprise.

I don't really watch TV so I doubt I'll get to it but the use of The Ink Spots song gave me goosebumps. So it's a good trailer at least.

Forspoken might not go too low as Square Enix games tend to only go down to 50% off, occasionally 60% off. So unless the base price comes down by alot then I wouldn't expect to see Forspoken much cheaper than that in digital sales.

The quickness at which these games have come out, like yeah testing the waters but no way are these the last of it.

Tales remaster or new entry better not be one of them. We've gone from a game almost every year to one in a decade.

If only they didn't shut down their Japan Studios that could've been shipping a slew of mid tier games to fill the gaps between major releases?

Why let so many fun small franchises lay dormant that could be releasing on PSN every few months?

Viva Pinata got 5 points from me, it needs to be revived.

@lightningbolt79 There is no way Xbox makes more money than Windows.

Can you imagine being a kid fighting the playground console wars on team xbox right now lol.

Like I seriously don't care about Starfield or any of that VS ***** but man it just makes me remember the wars we engaged in as kids and damn news like this would've been wild

Burnout Paradise is my second favourite game of all time behind Tetris. A game in that mould and well I dare even dream it tbh.

Surely these fortnite songs will work in rock band 4? Not that I'm personally invested either way but it seems strange for them not to. Though I guess licenses is probably in part why they wouldn't.

Said content to release in 2030

Films and Music are far more accessabile long term compared to games. If something isn't streaming (which in the case of music is almost nothing of real note) then there are plenty of other ways to listen or watch, especially with decades and decades of physical releases that are almost all universally available to be experienced simply and through one single appliance.

A 4K player can play UHD, BD, DVD, CD and some even VCD. One appliance covers practically all your digital music and video needs.

The obvious problem with gaming is backwards compatibility is an afterthought across the industry. It's got a bit better recently but expecting gamers to feel comfortable with the idea of games being lost forver even more than they are now is crazy.

Also the majority of films and music still get physical releases, comparing that to gaming it's actually this industry that is furthest behind already.

My only exposure to fortnite is when my nephew comes over at the weekend and every week I'm glad I'm able to resist playing this game because spending money seems so easy. Like hell yeah I want a Donatello skin and omg I can be a candy cane with a moustache like sign me up. OH the money I could waste on this game.

It sounds fine though is a departure from the over the top gruffness of prior casting.

I also think that unfortunately if you know Yong then you can hear him in that performance and I would assume that is what has unreasonably annoyed people.

Early 90's was probably more competitive but I suppose the money being thrown around was a whole lot less

At what point do they realize that this is essentially a pointless endeavour? Okay that is probably over the top but I just don't see any real clamour for this at all and never have. Great games on the PS2, nicely upscaled on PS3 and well wouldn't a port of those of sufficed? Hardly seems worth all the effort, time and at this point overspend that has gone into it.

Probably a big downsizing. Alot of jobs that made sense when these companies were independant makes less sense now they are all under one group. Every studio doesn't need its own independant PR etc.

Sucks but was basically inevitable for many after being bought.

I'm always late to the next generation of systems. I was on the verge of buying earlier this year until the rumours of a new slim design became more concrete. I honestly do not like the design of the PS5 at all, it is style over function and this slim model, while quite clever with its simple detachable drive etc, is still ugly to me. But at least it's smaller so yes I will finally upgrade once this system becomes available in the UK. Though honestly I'll probably be playing PS4 games on it mostly, just now they'll run better. Not really a single PS5 exclusive I'm desperate to play yet.

£18.75, ya know for kids

Should just spend that money on more of the Anime and complete the story at last.

Would've preferred DE stay independent. This could really limit them going forward.
