That is unfortunate for those who prefer the dub. Nonetheless I have my Playasia copy on pre-order and I'm extremely excited to play this! It is truly looking like a good time.
Well that answers that. I was curious how multiplayer would work in a frantically fast game like this; turns out it doesn't. I'll still be looking to buy a copy either later this year or early next year (the backlog is already insurmountable 🥲💀).
@AaronBayne While it likely wasn't available at the time of review, does the game implement an equivalent to Humanity/Kindled consumables to allow co-op/PvP?
Lack of haptic feedback and adaptive triggers strikes again 😔 I will be getting this game for sure, but I'll be doing so via Steam. It's sad that we rarely see these controller features supported outside of console exclusives.
I only just found out the multiplayer in this is strictly PvP, which is a bummer considering Verdict Day had online co-op. I'm sure it's still solid fun, but unfortunately this delays my purchase knowing I can't play alongside my friends.
@MikeOrator Honestly I can't say for sure. This is my first Playasia order, so I'm hoping for the best. I have used Amazon.co.jp before and didn't have any issues, so I'd think you're safe either way.
This game just looked like dumb fun on reveal, I mean you have elements of Lost Planet with the suits and Monster Hunter with the dinos, all in a L4D-like mob shooter. After playing the beta, I'd prefer to just go play Monster Hunter or Lost Planet more
Bummer. It would have been a nice option, but clearly they can still make a solid single player game. I just hope they either add mounts or a streamlined fast travel system. Legging it everywhere gets old.
I think this is the lowest review score I've seen from you guys 😂 I would have never imagined the game could have turned out THIS terrible, mediocre at least. But wow.
All of these upset responses really had their hearts set on specific things 😆 Metal Gear, Dogma, Marathon, and Spidey were enough for me to like this way more than previous showcases. VR segment was brief, no interruption from devs or announcers. I liked it a lot!
After reading this article, I found a sealed copy on eBay for $5 and bought it. After years of curiosity, I finally got to play it, and I'm glad I did.
The original RE4 is among my all time favorite video games and I have played almost every port of it. Despite this, the Remake still makes me feel like a chump sometimes 😂 The combat is challenging to master and I'm having a blast.
I'm confused by the merging of art styles here (much like the Lego DLC of Forza Horizon 4). Lego-ish trees on more realistic grass, both Lego and regular clouds? All things considered the graphics look great, it's just this clashing design that throws me off.
It was poor marketing and pricing for sure. I was extremely hesitant to spend $40 on a glorified demo, then gave in and proceeded to binge it for 20+ hours completing the additional episodes and just playing around in the sandbox of a map.
I enjoyed my time with ICO back on PS2, but I had no idea it existed until after I played Shadow of the Colossus. I was bummed out when I found out the North American version cut out some extra content and has the vastly inferior box art. Thank goodness for the HD PS3 port!
I experienced this recently too when I was redownloading some PS1 titles to my PS3! It seemed to happen more consistently when I had 3+ games downloading at once in the background, so if I waited for one to finish downloading, that also helped get past this. Otherwise just try again and again.
If I had a choice, I'd like FF to go back to the turn-based roots, but there's no denying there are countless games to fill that niche and this looks insanely polished. I'm looking forward to it!
@Beerheadgamer82 It looks like for the sake of clarity they are only including PS4/5 titles so the rankings list doesn't read two versions of almost every game (though I would argue they should combine the listings for PS4 and PS5 ports if that's the incentive).
They are all masterpieces so far! I'm currently playing through the series (started at 0, currently playing 5). So far 0 and Kiwami 2 are tied as my favorite, and 3 is my least favorite.
This bummed me out. The live service cosmetics isn't even that big of a deal on its own, it's the fact the combat relies on everyone using guns and the always online requirement (which of course means you can't even play the game anymore when the servers are taken down).
This sounds like a more refined Toukiden, and the open world traversal tools and camps sounds nice! I'll throw this on the wishlist for an eventual purchase (already too many games to play and it's only February).
Dualsense support is the only thing swaying me to PS5 ports of cross-platform games, and I'm rarely swayed to PS5 as a result 😑 What a bummer it wasn't handled better on this game.

Re: 15 More PS5, PS4 Games Are Available Now on PS Plus Extra, Premium
I bought Tekken 6 (PSP) as a download back on my old VITA, and now I can't download it to my PS5 without subbing to Premium? 😞 What's up with that?

@Terra Ah, that makes sense. He is certainly one to take a "hands-on" approach to adversity.

I'm still working on Yakuza 5, but when does Kiryu chuck people off of cliffs? Or are we confusing Kazuma for Kazuya here? 🤣

Don't have Plus, won't be renewing any time soon except for the occasional month to play a few Resident Evil games online.

Re: Lords of the Fallen Seriously Upgrades PS5 Sounds Prior to Launch
I'm actually amazed they addressed this! That was my biggest criticism of the early footage, so I'm pretty much all in now 😎
Re: Like a Dragon Gaiden Looks Awesome, Includes Trial Version of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
I just pre-ordered a physical copy (with English subs) from Playasia since it will be otherwise digital-only in the west 🐉

Great news! Raven is one of my favorites, and Azucena looks really fun.
Re: Hands On: Exoprimal PS5, PS4 Shows Early Promise, But May Not Have Staying Power

@nessisonett Brilliant. I would pre-order the hell out of a game where you beat up hundreds of delinquents as Harima 🤣

I have a section of shelving literally dedicated to physical Yakuza/Like a Dragon games 💀 I hope they change their minds...
Re: Poll: Which PS5 Blockbuster Will You Be Playing in June?
SF6 for sure! I was never a fan of isometric games and I'll wait for reviews on FF16 (though I'm sure it'll be great).

So as a major fan of the original, the only true negative is the new voice actors. I'm very excited.
