So much for platinuming P5. When this comes around, I'll probably have to forced to play vanilla P5 again.

If we get FF7, it's probably gonna be some minor announcement, but I'm hoping otherwise.

I don't feel like cancelling my pre-order, especially since I can get it today, but it's a shame they mucked up the grind. From what it sounds, they've basically took Injustice 2's formula and slowed the heck out of it down. Injustice was very generous and rather nice with it's loot box mechanic (I have way more than I know what to do with, and I've only recently booted it back up), which only had character customization items. Now they've broke what didn't need fixing, it seems.

It's Square. If it does show up, who knows what we'll get.

If we just get a teaser after all this....is it getting hot in here? Ooh my head hurts.

I'm only really sad because Dragon Age 4 will probably tank because this game is currently tanking. Then again, with whatever this version of BioWare is, I don't think they should touch Dragon Age.

@RogerRoger I can get down with that. As well as helping any drug users overcome it. The less potential addicts, the better.

I can only be so excited when all we have are specs, but those specs also paint a pretty good picture. Backwards Compatibility is there for those who want it, the technical aspect makes it seem like it'll be a monster of a console, and we still have discs for another generation.

I'm excited for the potential of it, but I'd need to see how games run on it before I go full on hype.

@RogerRoger @Sevenifity I think it's considered a farce only because it's a harsh punishment for something that's pretty minor compared to other crimes. For example, Nobuhiro Watsuki, creator of Rurouni Kenshin, was caught with child pornography. His punishment was as far as I can tell, only a 200,000 yen fine (about 1,870 USD), and his series resumed publication. The titular character even appeared in Jump Force this year. In the west, this would be a career destroyer, and his series probably would be erased from publication.

I don't support drug use, I'm only willing to live and let live if people don't abuse it. But there's far worse you can do to get your career wrecked.

Hopefully it's not too expensive. One of the worst things for me was getting a PS3 when they were $600 and it died before the year ended. I'm sure it's gonna be pricy, around $500 most likely.

I'm sure it's likely, if only because we still don't have a release window for it.

If not, you can just play the PS4 copy on PS5.

Working on improved performance is good. Like the second paragraph says, there's only so many times you can beef the graphics. I wanna see how the games are running on this thing.

@ShogunRok Yeah, I can't wait to see a PS2 game with these effects.

I didn't even know 8K graphics were a thing. I still haven't even gotten 4K.

Well, this is a pleasant surprise to wake up to.

Heard of him, but modern rap music doesn't interest me, so I haven't listened to anything he's released.

As long as he's playing a character and not just doing this as a publicity thing, it's cool.

I've been considering it, but I'm waiting for any potential issues to come out before I do it, if I want to by the time everything clears.

I'm glad to hear there's something on a new Splinter Cell, even if it's far off.

I doubt it would be open world, but Metal Gear did it, so who knows.

I'm not buying the PS5

I don't need to buy P3 again since it's on my PS3, but I don't really want it to come to PS4 unless it gets a remake. I love the game to death, but it feels old even for a PS2 game, and for the P4/P5 boomers, it'll probably give them a bad impression unless they're willing to play through it.

PSVR isn't really my cup of tea, but I am glad that Sony have supported the system well. For that, I consider the State of Play to be a positive, as they clearly aren't done with it by a longshot.

It basically depends on the game.

Considering how many games have different difficulty options, I don't see FromSoft's set difficulty games as a bad thing. Aside from copycats, they're really the only ones out of the major names that really do it. The only other ones I can name are the Crash remakes.

To kinda follow on @mookysam's point, I've been playing a ton of Devil May Cry 5 (Which does have an easy mode) recently, and my household is somewhat interested in it, but I usually can't recommend it to them because they have arthritis, of varying seriousness. I'm personally not disabled (yet), but I do have a history of hand related issues and injured my wrist almost two months ago. While easy mode isn't a perfect solution to this particular issue, it is something I'll need to consider if my hands get worse over time and still want to play my action games.

In summation, I don't think it's bad to have a few difficult games when there's so many out there that have the option to choose your level of challenge.

Since I have the US version, RIP lensflare. You won't really be missed, I guess.

Back to playing Bloody Palace, where my butt will be kicked so badly it'll need to be censored.

Can't say I'm super great at it, but it's fun. Got up to floor 29 with Dante, 24 as Nero, and died to Goliath with V (Was close to winning, then both pets got stalemated, with leaves him defenseless if he can't devil trigger). Dunno if I'll beat it, but I want to.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the original game have 30fps too? I remember it being slightly chuggier even back then. I'll enjoy it regardless.

All the best to him.

If that pad was real it would be a step back. The DS4 is the best controller Sony's made, I'd be shocked if they didn't keep the design.

@Lando_ @manu0 Game censorship has existed before even PlayStation has. Sexual content has been clamped down before Sony made this policy.

Look, I think it's fair to critique Sony for it (Many other companies get stick for it, so why should Sony avoid it?), but acting they're the only company doing it is silly.

@Splat Why not have sexy girls getting shot and decapitated? Best of both worlds!

Throw in dudes too, like @ApostateMage suggests. Gotta have equality.

I'm seriously considering this game. The most Souls experience I've ever had was the first level of Dark Souls 1. Never really got interested in the whole franchise, but I don't feel like waiting for Ghost of Tsushima for Samurai action. Since this seems to be different from the other FromSoft games, I might get it.

@jdv95 Ah, my bad. Read your comment wrong.

Now that I think about it, "exclusive content" is a tip off that it's not an exclusive game. Don't I feel dumb.

I'm loving the look of it. It's a little odd in motion, but it'll probably be better once you get a feel for it.

I'm not worried about platforms, I'm sure it's coming to plenty of systems, especially since the originals are on plenty of systems as well in some form or another.

@jdv95 It's also slated for PC and Xbox.

Gotta say, the game looks interesting. May as well have an eye out. Never got to play Quantum Break, or the old Max Payne, so I'm unfamiliar with Remedy.

I'm still not really interested in VR, but it's great seeing that Sony are still supporting it. They're fully behind it and I hope it continues to do well.

Hopefully now we'll get on to the VII remake.

I still haven't tried these games. Another wrong I need to right.

While the VR announcements don't do much for me, I think it's great they're still supporting it. Years back, a lot of people even here said it would just be a fad or a project that Sony would abandon, but they're sticking to it and it's great. They want it to succeed.

All the people who want Last of Us and Ghost of Tsushima need to be patient. Their time will come.

@Carl-G Sony never owned Crash though, Universal Interactive Studios did.

I'm hyped for this. I like that we're getting Nitro Kart tracks, and the retro skins look alright for a laugh. Yeah, it's system exclusive, but it's only cosmetic.

I hate the breadcrumb trail they're doing, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited.

I hope it's a reveal. Maybe an overview. Something that let's us know what it is. I'm still guessing an enhanced rerelease.

Ain't this a blast from the past! A friend of mine had the original and we'd play it quite a bit on weekends. Might keep an out on this.

It's not while I'm working, so if I can remember, I'll watch.

@PS_Nation You need to calm down about this. Seriously. I highly doubt Sony would go the Microsoft route fully and have every exclusive for PC.

Look at it this way: Sony have a thing for recognizing their competitor's weaknesses and taking advantage of it. I'm sure you saw the PS4 reveal and maybe even heard the story of them going with discs instead of cartridges. I'm sure they look at Microsoft and see what to do and what not to do, like any other multi million dollar business.

Have some faith, man. A few decent games suddenly not being exclusive isn't the death of a gaming brand.

If it's the future, it should be in the far off, distant future rather than the immediate one. I can't get fully behind the idea of solely streaming video games in order to play them unless it's 100% stable, no matter how interesting the concept is. Even then, I'd honestly rather have personal ownership of the games rather than having them as long as a licence exists.

If it has to be there, at least let me purchase a game digitally, rather than having to rely on a network just to play.

I'm generally a patient guy, but I don't know if I have that much patience. Especially for parts of a full game. Wonder why it's being stretched out that far.

I'm only agreeing because it's been so long since I played X, I can't remember it very well.

Seriously though, IX is a top class RPG if I ever played one. It's probably my favorite of the PS1 Final Fantasies, and all those are great.

I wanna go back to when "the future" was just losing discs and having everything purchased on the digital stores.

@Gamer4Lyfe So I ask how many PC owners play games? PCs are just computers. Literally anyone can have one for any reason. Gaming consoles however are generally used for just that. There's also all the work and upkeep needed for the optimization of the games, which a lot of people aren't willing to do.

Maybe I'm just not a loyalist or whatever. I know exclusives are important, I just don't care as long as I'm able to play it. I'm not gonna lose sleep over Sony losing money when they have plenty of other exclusives and I still have something to play them on. If I want Detroit, I have a PS4, so I can just get it.

Good thing I'm saving for a Switch. Don't really approve of leaving PS4 out when it can run the game. Either go multiconsole, or don't.

So much doomsaying here.

I don't like Quantic Dream, so I wouldn't care regardless, but why be upset about it going to PC? I thought the PC market was it's own thing, and it's not as common to have a PC compared to a console. Add in the amount of PS4 users, and it doesn't seem like a major loss. It's still technically a console exclusive (as in, it's the only console you can get it if you don't have a PC).

Even then, so what? What matters is being able to play it, if you ask me.

I want a more diverse roster design wise. Goku may be the franchise face, but having too many versions of him just looks stale. It's like after Jiren and Videl, we already hit the quota for different characters.

And while I personally didn't have any issue with GT, it's loathed by a good enough portion of the fanbase, which makes me wonder why they got a character from it. But even so, they could have gotten someone like Omega Shenron or even Pan instead.

And I can swing my power pole any way I please, thanks.
