I got the platinum on a 42” 1080p
tv (boy it was hard to read those menus) then recently replayed it on a 65” 4K tv with resolution mode. If I could play it at 4K with up to 60 fps then there is no doubt that I’d play it a third time before the sequel lands. Oh who am I kidding? I’ll play it a third time no matter what. My favorite game of the generation.

@L3GTRIGA Totally agree. I love the passion of everyone that works at PlayStation Access. I can’t tell you how many times that I’ve rewatched each of the Friday Features.

@BearsEatBeets I was thinking about a PS5 NG+ playthrough too. Do we have confirmation that the save will carry over? I know that Yakuza and some other games have confirmed that they are not cross-save, which I think is ridiculous.

NG+ sounds just as substantial as the God of War version and I love it. I can't wait to play it in Kurosawa mode for my second playthrough. New horse, charms, and dyes make it worth it.

Having gear loadouts is a huge addition and was one of my few disappointments with the game originally. The addition of playtime indicator is cool too as I know I've sunk a ton of hours in so far, but wonder exactly how many it has been.

So happy to hear that there are no microtransactions in Legends. I was worried that would not be the case.

Still working on the platinum for Ghost of Tsushima. I have been taking it really slow with the story and instead focusing on exploration, side missions, and stat boosting. I’m only in the middle of act 2, but I’ve updated all my weapons to near highest level and got fully upgraded mythic armor. I like the feeling of being over powered. I love this game so much. The story, with its twists, is great and the combat makes me feel like a skilled samurai.

I need Brok and Sindri to add to my Kratos/Atreus/Fire Troll/Dragur collection. I would love to see Freya and Baldur at some point. I just got the Jin Sakai figure and it is wonderfully detailed. I have Nathan Drake, Aloy, and Spider-Man on my shelf too.

@get2sammyb You're right and I am pretty sick of all the endless bashing. But PushSquare has to take some responsibility for constantly stirring the pot with Soapbox articles about Sony's silence and fans demanding answers/free upgrades. You guys are actively contributing to the problem, which does not absolve posters saying ridiculous things on every post, but it does beg the question of why you would be surprised that it is happening. Maybe stop posting those Soapbox articles that inflame the issues? I know they are good for clicks, but they are not good for community.

This place has become more toxic over the past few months and it really makes me sad because I love the majority of the coverage and posters on it. I am not saying we should ignore issues and put on rose-colored glasses, but I think a lot of us come here to escape the constant barrage of negativity in the world. We don't need a steady stream of more.

@Danloaded This is my hope. That they have purchased the licenses for Silent Hill and MGS. Konami gets a cut of the profit, but is not involved in development. They don’t care about making video games, but if others did it for them and they made money then it’s a win.

I don't care about Bethesda, but owning ZeniMax gives them Wolfenstein (MachineGames) and Doom (id Software). I really want to continue to play those games as the recent iterations have been amazing.

This was an absolute mess. Very disappointed with how this first round went down. Really hoping that there is some notice for the next round.

@Ulysses That last line says everything. We will really have to wait and see because no one (except the developers) know exactly how much differently the versions will perform. So those who are unsure can skip the pre-order and wait for reviews. I completely understand the apprehension.

@TrolleyProblems Yes, the PS5 versions are even if the base game can run on PS4. The PS5 version will offer graphics, lighting, speed, and more that are not possible on the PS4.

@Octane I am aware. But there are other games that I want to play at launch.

@SamMR Yes, I totally get the messaging being the opposite and why people were upset with that aspect. But people arguing that there is no reason to upgrade if the game is also available on PS4 too is what puzzles me. If you are wanting the PS5 experience then the game being cross-gen shouldn't matter.

Why are people freaking out? I’m getting PS5 day 1 because I want the performance and graphical enhancements that come with it. I’m putting off buying Cyberpunk 2077 because I’d rather wait to play it on PS5 rather than PS4. But I’m happy that PS4 players can get it. Yeah, I could buy Miles Morales on PS4 but the load times will be faster on PS5. I guess it comes down to why you are getting a PS5.

I would take a 10 second trailer with the logo and coming 2021 date. It would bring the house down.

This and Avengers with the pre-order only demos/betas are really disappointing. I’m not sold on either game and I might be tempted if I could give it a test run. I wonder what the stats are for people who pre-order to get the demo vs people who would play a free demo to later purchase the game. These companies are obviously hedging their bets on the former, but it still doesn’t make sense to me.

@wiiware I agree that Yuri just feels like the Prince. Warrior Within is my least favorite of the series. It was a misguided attempt to make the series edgy.

@wiiware Yuri was the voice in The Sands of Time and The Two Thrones in the Sands trilogy as well as returning in 2010's The Forgotten Sands. It was Nolan North in the 2008 game. Warrior Within was Robin Atkin Downes.

@wiiware The voice of the Prince is a new recording by Yuri Lowenthal, who voiced the character in the original game so he's not Indian. If you want to be annoyed about him being American then go for it. He also voiced Peter Parker in 2018's Spider-Man. To me, he is the voice of the Prince.

Wow, PushSquare really hammering it to this remake. This is the third article that has trashed it. Is it really necessary?

@Futureshark It’s up for $39.99 to pre-order

Man, people are harsh. Do we really think it looks worse than the PS3 remaster? Look up videos
on YouTube. Is it up to the remake level of RE2? No and that is disappointing. But if we get to play one of the best games of all time on modern consoles with hopefully updated controls/camera then I’m on board.

Can we get a new version of the Soul Katana for Ghost if Tsushima? I see that it was originally for Onimusha 3 on PS2.

@LobsterJohnson No reason to be ashamed. There is an excitement in discovery and it is such a rich cultural history. I hope you enjoy the movies. I should pick up The Book of Five Rings as the Musahi trilogy is phenomenal. The acting in the movies can be melodramatic, but the cinematic craft is a sight to behold. Kurosawa especially creates rich landscapes with constantly shifting weather effects and fluid camera movement. His partnership with actors like Toshiro Mifune and Tatsuya Nakadai (who pop up in the samurai movies of other directors too) make for gripping drama as well.

@LobsterJohnson Have you seen Seven Samurai before? It’s one of my favorite films of all time. I got to see it in the theater and it was glorious. I hope the game gets more people to check out his films and other in the samurai genre. There are so many greats ones: Ran, Yojimbo, Rashomon, Sword of Doom, Throne of Blood, Samurai I: Musashi Miamoto (plus parts 2 and 3), Harakiri, Kagemusha, etc

@LiamCroft You kind of left out the most important part of that interview for a lot of people who had concerns after it was announced:

Is this a game-as-service?
Fleur Marty: "This is very much not designed as a game-as-service. There is an ability tree, which is different for each of the characters, and then there's gear that you craft - and so choices that you're going to be making - but that does not mean that this is a game-as-service.

Certainly not what I hoped. I’m fine not playing as Batman for the whole game. I like the idea of playing as the Bat family members. What I don’t like is the co-op live service that will be filled with micro transactions. The rpg damage counters look stupid and the fight music was horrible. I wanted an exclusively single player game. I know you can play this solo, but my bet is that the company’s main focus is on multiplayer.

@KidBoruto Thank you for the follow-up! I was curious and now I know more about Miles. I really need to pick up some trade paperbacks/graphic novels with him as the lead.

I don’t play many online multiplayer games like Fortnite, but I’ve really gotten into Fall Guys so I have a few questions. Does your level generally reset when a new season starts? If so, are there new perks to earn? Obviously nothing is confirmed with Fall Guys season 2, I am just wondering about these types of games in general.

@ThaBEN I was wondering the same thing and why no one was remarking on it. are we getting Venom in this game?!

Hope it is the original trilogy with updated controls and animations among other quality of life improvements as well as graphics of course. I have very fond memories of playing them back then, but I know they are showing their age and could use a spruce up.

So tomorrow we can look forward to another cryptic tease? Then on Saturday, we get slideshow presentation with text and a 30-second teaser trailer with symbols and a title, right? They need to fire their advertising team. So sick of the teases.

I am all for how they are approaching platinum trophies now. Not everyone has an internet connection that can support online play and difficulty trophies do not take into account players with physical disabilities. If the playing field is not equal for all players then the achievement is not really representative of each gamer's passion and drive to accomplish the top prize. It's not about people not wanting to test themselves, but rather an artificial barrier set up that excludes members of the community. Plus, as others have said, the difficulty trophy actually works against me wanting to replay a game. I continued to play Spider-Man for hours after completing the story because the platinum was attainable and the activities were fun.

Phew I pre-ordered based on what I saw and my love of samurai films. Sounds like it is a game worthy of the hype.

Please Prince of Persia

Finally! The hype levels are going to be off the charts so hopefully, they come within reach of expectations. It'll be hard to exceed them, but they need to really make an impression.

That would be wonderful. Here’s hoping it’s not a mobile game.

do we really need a new universe that ties together all DC games? look at what DC Extended Universe did with the movies. not everything has to be connected.

@RogerRoger So well said. I have nothing to add, just wanted to recognize such a well thought out and reasoned response to all these delays.

Peggle is a guilty pleasure on which I have wasted hours upon hours. I will be picking this one up.

The art style reminds me of Bastion. I'm digging it!

This would break the internet if Kojima was back for Silent Hills. I would not doubt that he could pull del Toro back in after they did Death Stranding. Put PT back on PSN and people would go nuts. Here’s hoping!

I really hope he does the free camera on the end credits scene with the surprise character (not posting the spoiler here) so we can see more of his design.

So excited! This is my most anticipated game of the year. I am a huge fan of samurai films and this looks amazing.

As seen in the documentary Raising Kratos, she was really key to God of War (2018) coming together in the way it did through her persistence and her promotion of Barlog's vision. It's a very sad loss for Sony Santa Monica. I wish her the best in her new role.

It looks like a good game. The article could use a more clear title though as it reads like the game is “Those Who Remain Creeps” haha. Better headline: “Psychological Thriller, Those Who Remain, Creeps onto PS4 in May”. It’s just a suggestion and not a judgement.

@ellsworth004 it’s the Sully from Boston

Yes! So happy you followed through with creating this feature series. It is really helpful to have your spotlight on cool creations within Dreams. Followed the playlist and gave you a thumbs up.

Any upgrade from PS3-era technology would be great. I love my PSVR, but the motion controllers are not always as accurate as I’d prefer them to be. Hopefully, these type of controllers will be compatible with the first headset. I can’t see upgrading to PSVR 2 for a bit after throwing down a big chunk of money for PS5.
