The power of the PlayStation brand. It's important for third party publishers to have a great relationship with Sony for this fact. I'm looking forward to the Borderlands 4 State of Play. I'm a massive Borderlands afficionato.

Enjoy the retirement, legend. His name is up there in terms of prestige with all the amazing Japanese creators I grew up playing their creations, Miyamoto, Sakaguchi, Kojima, Inafune, Igarashi, etc.

The industry is saying goodbye to a huge name. Thanks for your contributions.

Castlevania is a Konami franchise 😊, small mistake in the first sentence.

Glad to see the Castlevania name do well for itself, even if it is not in the realm of video games.

Konami please 🥺

It was art.....as ***** as it was. No need to make a big deal about it.

Two words. .......big mistake!

A very Merry Christmas to all.

The livestream was great. SSR Rapi incoming, finally. You would thing the face of the game would have an SSR by now, but she sure did not. Better late than never I supposed.

Oh, and yes, I am excited for the collaboration

Amazing game. It is fun, which is what gaming is supposed to be. Should be higher position in my opinion.

Goodbye Microsoft! 🫡

R.I.P. and many thanks for your contribution to the industry and for helping put a smile, to millions of people around the world.

I'll be there on day one!

It's not for me, so I will vote with my wallet, but I will not bash the game for being the way it is. I'm sure it will have an audience, and hopefully said audience is large enough to help Naughty Dog and Sony recoup the development cost.

I still like Naughty Dog, however. Very talented developers.

Now we wait until the merger is accomplished. It will happen, since as mentioned in a previous comment, both companies are interested in the merger.

Huge move by Sony that I'm sure will pay dividends.

Three words.....Do it Sony!

I love them. I still play the Nioh games. They are my favorite souls like not made by From.

People who are in the limelight, or have any sort of exposure that exceeds the norm, should hold themselves to higher standards. It comes with the territory.

His brand is practically destroyed now. See you doc!

I have bought two copies, the digital deluxe and a physical copy. This even though I have yet to own a PS5 (was supposed to get one last month, but have decided to wait for the Pro) Great developers, and even better human beings!

Looking forward to it. The game is on my wishlist on the PSN store, since you cannot pre-order it at the moment.

Massive Castlevania fan (second favorite gaming franchise after Zelda), so this collaboration is more than welcome on my part.

I was planning on buying the fiver during the current season, spring. However, I will now save that money and wait for this Pro. I can wait another 8-10 months since I have been holding back on this generation since its inception.

I've had it preordered since last November. I am a huge Vanilla ware fan and I almost preorder all their work.

Just waiting for it to arrive when it officially releases.

Enjoy your well deserved rest legend. You have done more than enough for the industry.

Final Fantasy IV and VI are my favorite of his soundtracks.

Cry me a river.

Sometimes, gamers themselves have to look in the mirror and blame themselves for the incorrect purchase the have made...and yes, Xbox is an incorrect purchase. Has been for over a decade.

A solid 9 from me. Bought it twice. One for Steam and the other for PS5, which I will own one soon.

I pre-ordered on Steam for the simple fact that I do not have the fiver (that changes this spring), so I will begin on PC/laptop.

Hopefully there can be cross progression because if I do enjoy the game (I think I will), I will definitely be happy to buy it again on the fiver.

If it is indeed Shift Up's console debut, they should take all the time needed to create a wonderful debut console title, as first impressions can have a huge impact. With the help and guidance of Sony, I am sure they will succeed in that regard.

We as gamers just have to be patient, which is understandably difficult when you want to play said game already.

Merry Christmas!

Yes, I am looking forward to the collection. I have them all in my DS but now I get to own them in my PlayStation.

One of my favorite game series ever.

I am trying to pre-order but unfortunately this is still unavailable on the PS store. I do not expect a physical release but hopefully I am wrong.

Looking forward to the games they develop under Sony leadership. Hope the relationship is fruitful with loads of successes.

Already pre-ordered, and will release about the same time I purchase my very own PS5. Good times ahead!

Are pre-orders open? I only pre-order Vanillaware games, and this will be no exception.

Edit: Just pre-ordered it 😊

Well done by Sony.

I will be one of those new adopters this coming spring, when I join the PS5 army (still enjoying my PS4 and PS3 very much).

March of next year to be exact is when I enlist 😅. Looking forward to it.

I will be there day one, guaranteed. (Apologies to the Playstation fam, but I have yet to won the fiver. Soon, though, very soon.)

Excellent. It is one of my favorite genres, and it is a genre that is synonymous with the PlayStation brand. Bloodborne 2, Nioh 3, or a new IP within the genre, I do not care. Just give it to me Sony........and thank you!

So, it is only Criterion in name now?

Oh well, tried to post the Jeremy Clarkson 'oh, no, anyways' gif, but alas, not meant to be.

Instant pre-order from me. Vanillaware are one of my favorite developers. Long may they continue with their success.

First game is fun, and this sequel will be just as if not more. Always happy to support European developers, especially of Spanish and Italian origin. Thus, this will be a certain purchase.

Now if you will excuse me, I will be going to the PSN and GOG stores to pre-order this soon to be masterpiece. Cheers and be well!

Nothing to be ashamed about playing Nikke Sammy, as I am also addicted to the game XD. They have quietly created an interesting world in said game, i will not be surprised if they expand the franchise to other avenues.

Hoping for a Stellar Blade presence in the showcase also, so good shout on that prediction.

A franchise that is synonymous with the brand. Dare I say, Playstation is its home. Of course, this is from someone who played the SNES games well before the franchise was on Playstation but, it is because of the Playstation brand the franchise's popularity is where it is.

Anyways, glad to know this nice fact is upon us soon enough. Best going forward to Square Enix and Sony.

I think it is just a unfortunate blunder on their part, but they will learn from this and assure themselves that something like this never happens again.

I can only imagine the difficulties of developing and optimizing for PC but alas, we all learn from mistakes and I am sure Naughty Dog will as well.

Still waiting on Eliza. Or, I will also be happy with Lidia. That is it on the request front from me.

Very pleased. Will be downloading Sackboy and Tails of Iron.

Decima engine is outstanding. More PS Studios, and Sony partners should utilize it.

Very nice. One of the greatest games ever made. I originally played it on the Gamecube, and it was such a big deal during the time, and rightfully so. Really glad it is still a big deal today. Chuffed for Capcom as always. Well done lads!

Resi Code Veronica for me thanks.

Pre-ordered and ready to go!

Even though I have yet to own a Playstation fiver, I am ready for when that day comes. This will be the first things I will play on it.

Great studio Arkane is, really enjoyed their past games and the Dishonored franchise made me a fan and admirer of their work. Fun and great memories playing those excellent games.

Shame I will never get to play another one of their games but I hold no grudges and wish them the best in their future endeavors.

I hope Eliza makes a return (yes, I went there. I am ready to defend my statement).

I wholeheartedly agree with header of the article @get2sammyb .

@Gaia093
I never played the Steins;Gate games. Shame to hear about the situation. I will purchase this game and try this genre, which will be a first, and if I like it will try the Steins;Gate games.

Hopefully things turn around for the creators company.
