@Suppressed I'd take a collection at this point.

@Quintumply

Might be abit late but the article says blu ray drive and model instead of uhd drive and model btw.

I hope this gets to those who need it first.

Yeah but no thanks

Looks amazing though I must say I wish the other aspect of SOTN that these games would occasionally rip on also is the use of the occasional 3D polygon enemy. It was a cool look.

Is there some sort of extra that comes with buying GTA V over and over again? I just can't believe there are enough new buyers/players to keep this game in the Top 10 each month. Like do you get more GTA Online cash or something if you buy the main game on some dummy account which you then trade to your main GTA account?

How is this game still selling?? Why would they even bother with GTA 6? I have no love for the games so I can say with ice in my veins that surely GTA Online 2 or something makes more sense lol

I was at my nan's and she had it on in the background and I couldn't believe my ears lol

Why don't they just make a horror movie crossover fighting game?

Pathetic from Sony

Would love to see Playstation move to a more warmer and inviting atmosphere like Nintendo have. This cold, mysterious facade they've presented the brand as for the PS5's run hasn't been fun. State of Play's are crap and Showcases full of drone and the same dark games over and over. Not embracing a more light side has made Playstation feel more corporate than ever. A focus on less important and very expensive add-ons like VR2 and that pointless remote play thing. It all seems misguided to me.

Closing Japan studios hurt, letting a fantastic brand and oppurtunity like Astrobot just sit there the same. Just want a little bit more of the wacky and fun. And a whole lot less of the dark, cold third person action with crazy particle physics.

I don't know what I really mean tbh but it is how I feel.

Sony should just make their own fantasy IP to compete against it. They have studios capable of at least attempting such a thing.

Seems weird considering Live A Live dropped outta nowhere with its own HD-2D remake in the meantime. The games don't strike me as being too difficult to make so perhaps they are going above and beyond with this one?

There is no way Nintendo would sell, the most frustrating thing about them is they don't buy their own companies often enough. How Nintendo passed on Atlus I'll never know, I'm glad they did but I certainly don't understand it.

Also Nintendo for what they are are insanely profitable, to buy them out would be incredibly expensive. Like easily most expensive buyout ever expensive, definitely $100B+. While the Wii U was a dismal failure it is worth noting just how much success surrounded that single failure. The GBA, DS, Wii, 3DS and now the Switch were/are all massive successes and due to being underpowered they were/are very profitable. Also Nintendo games never go on discount and yet some of them selling 10's of millions. Nintendo have even managed to get away with their own online service that those same amount of millions probably pay for despite all the shortcomings of the service.

I cannot imagine Nintendo ever being bought out. If the Switch had also flopped then maybe but considering the opposite happened and it's on course to rival the DS and PS2 I think we can safely say that a MS buyout of Nintendo is not on the cards.

Ys and Trails have had a crossover of sorts though only as a fighting game, though it did play like an action RPG. Ys vs. Sora no Kiseki: Alternative Saga came out on PSP.

Less bloatware? … fishing for the potential upside to this.

I've always just paid monthly, never understood the appeal of yearly subscriptions. I'd rather pay more overall but not have a substantial outlay ever while also having that option whenever I want to take a month or two off.

Annual subscriptions are cheaper but the piece of mind of never having to think about it while also having the option to cancel whenever I want is just better imo. Also if something ever comes up that would mean I couldn't play or take advantage of Plus then I'm not having months of membership going down the drain.

Seriously more people should go monthly.

Was an avid player of Overwatch but I played less than a couple of hours of Overwatch 2. They let Overwatch 1 rot away for years with little to no additions beyond quarterly skins. Me and friends all put that down to the sequel being worked on and the frustration was simply that it was taking too long. I don't think any of us thought it would be bad. So when it dropped and the reveal was it's the same game as before but worse, it's the same game but skins are now behind battle passes. Collectively the game felt dead on arrival. Nothing to get excited about, all the new promised features missing and what was new was just price gouging skins and battle passes.

Greed killed the game. Pure greed. Asking insane prices for what was once free and expecting people to be excited for that. Lunacy.

Waited all this time for a proper redesign and this is the best they can come up with? An awful design made slightly less awful…yay?

Given this came out right when Overwatch first shat the bed I had high hopes that it would replace it for me. Especially as an Anime nut and Gundam fan.

The game is very similar to OW...which unfortunately went right down to the loading up a match playing for all of 5 seconds someone leaving and then us all getting kicked back to the lobby. This happened in my second match and I instantly closed the game down and haven't touched it since.

Honestly once I had looked through the unlockables, which were insanely grindy, I found little worth playing for. So the addition of matchmaking that didn't just add in AI when someone left like that just sent me over the edge.

I loved the idea of a Gundam FPS and this had so much going for it in terms of gameplay in that regard, but the whole concept overall just wasn't appealing.

Call of Duty is popular but it’s also old. There are more PlayStations than Xboxes so if you are Sony you need to build a Call of Duty killer/replacement.

Turns out Sony already have an ip that can do that in SOCOM. Change the series into a COD like game with some SOCOM twists. Perhaps make this a F2P title that instead is built upon and focus solely on the multiplayer.

No reason at all that Sony can’t use this to their advantage as they’ll have a sizeable install base of players who might sooner try a new product before buying an Xbox for an old one.

Surely being the creator of Sonic is enough of a crime already

I don’t think I’ve ever disliked a AAA game franchise more than TLOU. I don’t know why but I genuinely despise these games and wish they would disappear.

Obviously many people love them and all power to you and I also hope you can continue to enjoy them…but we can’t be friends lol

Bandai Namco are creatively bankrupt when it comes to the majority of their Anime adaptations.

Endless fighting games and I can’t even begin to say how bored I am of the arena fighter.

I’d like to see a beat em up/action adventure instead.

Also why on earth haven’t they done a smash bros clone for Shonen Jump? If done properly (and hey they helped make Smash Bros) it’d do really well I’m sure.

Yes I’m aware of the DS game.

I mean of course MGS4 will be in Vol.2, the second they called the collections volumes this was going to happen.

If this film isn't plastered with Red Bull logo's and constant Prodigy and Chemical Brothers music blaring then it'll be a failure.

That was completely uninspired. No fun at all and so many games that just felt the same as something 5 minutes earlier.

I genuinely wonder why I don't have a switch at times like this, if only because everytime I watch a Direct there is at least something that gets me excited.

This was a corporate nightmare of overly detailed, glossy, neon, partical effect filled repitition.

Bring it on! Love classic puzzlers

@thefourfoldroot1 I can't afford to drop £1000+ on 2/3 systems each generation, so I'm not going to be in multiple eco systems (I've even managed to avoid a switch despite having way more reason to be in it's ecosystem too). So having bought a PS4 after having an Xbox 360 and having that huge library of digital games now on PS4 then yes it really does matter alot, I don't want to leave those games behind now. So Xbox have to seriously go above and beyond to move the player base they would need in order to compete again. It will take awhole lot more than Elder Scrolls 6 and Starfield imo no matter how good they have the potential to be.

When Phil mentioned that they lost the most important generation to lose where we all built our digital libraries and that really hit home for me. I couldn't imagine at this point jumping ship for any game. The Xbox One was so bad that Xbox pretty much can't recover without something like essentially buying COD.

Though of course comparing the quality of 1st party releases it's fair to say Xbox could do a whole lot better.

This game is going to lose so much f-ing money.

the doom games going to premium is so lazy, the games go on sale for >£1.60 all the time. In fact they're on sale right now.

Just buy them for life for basically the price of 1 month of premium.

Fifa died for me when it all became about ultimate team. Loved career mode but it's beyond stale these days.

***** rip headphone users at the start.

Honestly I think it's a real shame that companies gave up on this. I get times have changed but it now means the week of announcements is gone forever. Why would Xbox, Nintendo and PS ever time their announcements to be within days of each other? Obviously they wouldn't and won't going forward.

I'll miss it alot personally.

Sonic and Sega All Stars 1+2 were amazing. I would love to know what/who caused the follow up to these acclaimed and very popular games to be Team Sonic Racing.

Those of us trying to stick to one gaming ecosystem had a very decent kart racer with as much to offer as most Mario Karts. So sad they dropped the ball.

As for this Disney Racer I have to say I have no interest, I also think the model for this game doesn't suit its target audience either. It'll flop hard long term I suspect.

Waiting on the redesign, hopefully not a fools errand. I just cannot stand the current design.

Battlefield 1943 was so much fun. Put literally 100 hours into it across PS3 and 360. Sad to see this day come. The simplicity of it is so rare these days.

This should really come with the short movie too imo

Yes. Though tbh I’m waiting for a sensible redesign more than anything. Current model is the ugliest console since…idk the casio loopy? lol

Square just have far too large expectations for sales potential of their games?

The large majority of their games are niche so in turn probably meet niche like games sales numbers. I hope their smaller games as it were aren’t given up on. They could probably stand to make fewer of the smaller games, like there was a direct last year where they announced like 4-5 games I think, multiple of which were farm sims.

I had this issue when trying to download purchases directly after checkout while still in the store. If I went to my download list on PS3 via the transactions menu I had no issues at all.

Would rather see a fix for the store. It crashes or resets search parameters CONSTANTLY.

Youtube cover songs incoming using this game. I'm guessing 1000 at least by the time this game is a month old.

Very cool mechanic

tbh it does push Sony to move, be it buying something like Square or it pushes them to actually create their own FPS. Now I have no interest in the COD series but hey who knows what Sony could bring to the table?

While I think it sucks you have to admit that there is probably a quite small playerbase for this. If all the DLC is brought forward then who else is left to buy it now?

Again I don't think this is a good enough excuse especially with more DLC on the way anyway. I guess it depends just how much money needs to be recouped for bringing these tables on the new engine.

Maybe a significant saving on each table somone had on the previous game should be offered. Like 75% off or something?

@JonTheGod OMG I never even considered how the detachable drive could in theory open up the avenues for full BC on PS5. Now I’m going to dream about this only to get disappointed dammit lol

I still play on my PS3 regularly and still buy things from the store (thank the gods it didn't close) so I hope Sony keep the system alive as long as possible.

Until Sony do a crazy all in one BC Playstation console then the PS3 if you can keep your launch console alive is a really nice bit of kit. With a launch PS3 and PS5 you can play 5 generations of home console gaming on just 2 systems.

I dearly wish though that the early PS5 rumours were true, would've been incredible to have a truly all in one Playstation. Wasn't even supposed to support Vita and PSP? lol.

The suits behind big companies chasing an ever decreasing market and money pool will never not confuse and amuse. Live service games that aren’t ftp are almost all going to fail. Making games like this that have a literally shelf life shorter than a generation is just a depressing vision for the industry.

Would’ve loved to see Rocksteady go back to something like Arkham Asylum with a new or even original ip. Truly was a special game, has there been a metroidvania like it since?

Legend of Dragoon is 9gb? Seems way larger than other PS1 games on PS4

So annoying that this parasite is in Moneyball i.e one of the best films ever made.
