This while “Reward System” is so half baked. Why is there not more initiative for awarding points for earned trophies or more in game challenge opportunities to get points. I feel so let down and this just makes less appealing. Some of the digital collectibles are cool, but I’m not spending points on something that is just pixels on screen to look at. Sony really needs to revamp this program.
I enjoyed both approaches. It was nice not feeling to overwhelmed in DA:O and DA2 but I did like the sense of adventure in DA:I. I think a more linear approach will harken back to the ideas of the older games and settle better with players. I think most of us are burnt out on huge open worlds with filler content.
I must be blind or my excitement is keeping me ignorant. I don’t see any Fortnite or Overwatch art direction in this. It reminded me of an evolution to Dragon Age: Inquisition. I liked the introduction to the companions. It was an introductory cinematic and that is what I took it for. I’ll reserve judgement for the gameplay trailer.
Square-Enix does realize that FF15 had a Xbox One and PC release alongside PS4; whereas this time it’s only PS5. I mean of course the preorder numbers are going to be smaller.
Maybe there abysmally low even for one console, but their sales expectations have always been impractical or seems.
What a damn shame. One of the best RPGs of all time and arguably best Star Wars game as well. Hate to hear that it’s in so much trouble. I really want this remake to be a shining spectacle, but I’m not holding my breath.
I agree with many of the comments on the games being overlooked and average. I tried the Star Ocean: Divine Force demo and wanted to play it, but there were just better games coming out and my time is very limited. I really appreciate Square trying to release varied titles, but as the article said, poor timing hurt those releases.
It’s baffling they would show or make something so similar to that of Avengers, when it clearly did not capture gamers long term. Live service games are going to ruin the industry for awhile.
Sounds like this replaces what they had on Sony Rewards. About time they rolled out a proper rewards program. Have always envied the Microsoft Rewards Xbox has had.
I originally started out as an achievement Hunter in about 2007 and switched to trophy hunting in 2014 when I jump ships to the PS4. I love trophy hunting because I feel like I get the most out of my games. Now some games have been a huge grind fest, but I can’t go on without the Platinum. I’m to OCD and just get a rush from it.
I definitely understand it’s not for everyone. It takes dedication and some platinums are insane to get. That’s why I have dummy account for games I don’t care to go for the platinum. To each their own, but I’m a trophy hunter for life!
This is so disappointing to hear. The game had its flaws, but the world, characters and gameplay were still really good. This is one Sony game I wanted to see a sequel too. I fear dark expectations are ahead for Sony first party studios
No Horizon: Zero Dawn on here? I know it’s in PC but it was still published by Sony.....would have been my vote. Welp I guess I will give my vote to Days Gone followed closet by God of War!
I love Phil’s open and inclusive mentality. I think it brought Xbox back from the brink, but his lack of exclusives has been a reason for why Xbox didn’t catch back with PlayStation.
I know multiple people and have seen thousands of comments at this point that state that if there “exclusives” will be in PC, then there is no reason to but the Xbox hardware. Which they clearly don’t care about because they just want you to be apart of the ecosystem at this point.
Even then, I hope that MS’s new upcoming exclusives are a success and drive players to at least use the Xbox software. I don’t see how the executives will continue the brand it doesn’t pick up this new generation.
Considering how busy life is these days, easy lists that require your to play and experience the game are a nice commodity.
Not that I don’t enough some challenging trophies being thrown in, but please don’t make it super grindy, multiple playthroughs or force you use one type of playstyle/weapon. Those are the worst.
I still have some attachments to physical media, but only if it’s something I adore. Otherwise I have noticed a trend that I’m shifting to digital more.
I’m can see that digital and streaming are going to be the future and I told myself that I wouldn’t practice ageist tactics and resist the new trends that come throughout my life.
That being said, physical should always be an option for those who want to consume it and because the majority of the world does not have the wireless structure to support all digital.
It definitely has its flaws, but it is a good game overall. I little less strategic with the absence of the power wheel and the ability to control companions more in-depthly, but the combat has more verticality and freedom as well. I love the characters and the story is pretty good so far. Just need the bugs ironed out now.
@dnky666 @dnky666 I hope so. I'm close to finishing up my Destiny trophies since I started again on PS4, but it would be nice to have more challenges to occupy my time besides getting gear and what not.
Its amazing how good this game looks on last-gen. Probably the best looking game to date for those consoles. And it still looks great for current gen. Kojima goes all out
Dude I really like Dinklebot......his performance was fine. I mean not spectacular but he is just a floating AI companion. It's Bungie's fault for creating a shattered story that doesn't make sense yet, not Peter Dinklage's voice acting. Its not like he wrote the script....
This looks awesome. I would much prefer this since it would essentially get rid of a lot of the scrolling on the UI. Sony should see this and take a hint

Re: Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Has Optional 60FPS Mode on PS5
Definitely the 60 FPS. My TV and PS5 upscaling will suffice, but I need that smooth motion flow on the screen.

Re: Poll: What PS5 Box Design Should Sony Adopt?
I’m digging that Black and Blue. Looks good. I hope they choose that or Black.
Re: Borderlands 3's Trophy List Looks Like a Fairly Easy Platinum
@redd214 agreed! Now I can hopefully just play thru once and not have to worry about about mini playthroughs.
