Day one buy from me. I have loved the series since my first foray into it, on the Nintendo DS with Justice for All. I have all the DS entries that made it outside Japan.
I will be buying this on PSN to join the original Trilogy I fondly have on PSN as well.
OMG. Dead Space is one of the greatest games ever. Deal Space I and Dead Space II are experiences every gamer should have. Hope this is true. We need more Dead Space. Special mention to Dead Space Extraction. Which is a great on rails shooter in it's own right.
I had thought they, WayForward, were actually developing a game based on the RWBY franchise. I wonder if that is still in development and just was not ready to be shown.
Regarding River City Girls.......welcome news, very happy it is getting a sequel.
To me, the most important aspect is the relationship and trust that Sony will develop with these "second-party" studios. Sony will trust these studios to develop a project they are passionate about and will support it, while the developer will trust Sony to give them the platform to flesh out their ideas and the user base to make the project a success.
Contributed one game, Valkyria Revolution, and two trophies from said game. Was the best I could do with my time constraints but still happy to receive the theme.
@SlySnake0407 I have never played a game from them before, so this will be my first, and also my first rouge game. I hope to understand the concept after playing it.
Truth be told, i would love for transistor to go on sale on PSN. That is the game from Supergiant that really intrigues me.
@Col_McCafferty I actually think it would be a good idea for Sony to release their own launcher on PC, if of course, they were to release their games on PC. Cut out the middleman as it were. However, this is just a thought, not exactly sure if it would work just think it is a good idea.
Pretty nice. On a personal level i am completely satisfied with 60 fps, so it really does not bother me too much that PS5 BC cannot do more on frame rate for older titles. Save 120fps or better for the newer titles.
I think most people will agree that it is completely logical and fair, what Sony is doing here, without the need for one to have a business degree or be business adept. It is just common business sense, these companies exist to make money after all.
This might be controversial, especially given the issue of pricing. I have never bought a Housemarque game at launch, and thus feel responsible for the comment they made a few years ago about arcade games being dead. I have always bought their games when on sale because I am always late to the party, but Housemarque games have never disappointed me. Nex Machina, for example, is an amazing experience and so is Matterfall.
Here is the controversy, i do not own a PS5, but i will buy this game at the asking price, and at launch because I am not that bothered by it, eventhough i understand the concerns about pricing from gamers, but I am also buying it as a way of saying thanks to Housemarque for their past games. They deserve all the support that will be coming their way, and i hope this game can be a great starting point for them as they increase their brand awareness and status within the industry.
Best of luck to them in the future and i hope the people who play this game on the PS5 enjoy it. As for me, it will be in my library until i join the PS5 army.
If i do not buy Samurai Warriors IV soon, I will wait and this will be my first Samurai Warriors game. I have been in a samurai itch, if you will, ever since Nioh, which i started playing In March of last year and still putting gameplay hours into it.
Anxious to find out what game this is, more specifically, its genre. I can assume it will probably be a FPS given the talent at hand but it could also not be. Hopefully we find out more sooner rather than later.
Brilliant news. I cannot wait. I have been a fan of the series since i played justice for all on the nintendo ds. Now to be able to finally play these is amazing news.
Excellent news, but this is just the beginning. We all know the PS3 is the so called "ugly duckling" of the PS family (given how it is the only console to not cross 100 million units sold worldwide), but the PSN started on said console. If Sony is finding it difficult to keep it alive due to technological reasons etc., they must find a way to integrate it into more modern technologies. But removing it should never be an option.
While he makes a valid point, actually more than valid, it is completely true from the perspective of game development, the way he delivers this message is completely wrong and rude.
I am of the opinion that game development costs need to be scaled back for the majority of developers. Most gamers cannot justify the recent price increase, so developers must scale back development. I imagine most gamers would be happy with game experiences not exceeding a particular time frame, that way they can finish the game.
Well done to PlayStation and Sony. I hope this success keeps getting better for them as we move on from this pandemic and hopefully, hopefully, the unit is easier to obtain for those who have been trying for months. Cannot wait to get one myself.
I have two copies of the game already, one for PS3 the other for PS4. I would not consider a PS5 version. However, if i saw it for $5 U.S. dollars or less, i would buy it.
@Shred @BloodNinja I was about to write Wushu, which is basically chinese kung fu and the one most of us in the west, i believe, are familiar with. However, that would've been pure speculation on my part.
What are the chances Astro Bot Rescue Mission will be playable on PlayStation VR II, or any of these VR games? I do not own a PS4 VR and do not plan to, however, PlayStation VR II has me intrigued and would not mind playing Astro Bot Rescue Mission there.
I like it that they give options, so the consumer can choose which is their preference. I know, or rather, have read articles that state that developers always prefer resolution over frames. That is what they prioritize during development, to an extent. As one who is developer first, I respect that, and will always continue to support developer preference.
However, me personally, I will always choose frames over resolution. So when a developer gives me an option, a choice on which I would like to prioritize, frames or resolution, I am always thankful for that and i hope this continues throughout the generation that way both parties win, developers and consumers.
From a personal perspective this is a very exciting move and one that makes sense. As a fighting game connoisseur it is also a good fit. For years Sony has seemed as the de facto FGC platform, along with the growing PC market too.
Really excited for what the future holds. I was actually going to go to EVO last year to compete in SC VI but Covid-19 happened.
Excellent. Have been wanting to try the game out, especially after all the praise it receives, rightfully so. I will be getting the PS IV version since I do not own the V yet, and will not be owning one for a good while.
@Medic_Alert That has always been a shame to know. I adored the Dishonored franchise and am sad to see it go away, but business is business no need to moan. I do wish Arkane well in it's future endeavors, that is the studio that will be missed the most in the Microsoft acquisition, in my opinion.
But you are right their games never lit up the sales chart, and that was not due to their quality, people just where never interested for some reason. Which is why you always hear the argument that most Bethesda games do not sell. It is partially true, and from a fan of Arkane it was always sad to know of this.
Still, really happy Bethesda kept supporting the studio and franchise and allowed them to make three games in the series regardless of sales numbers.
Amazing game. I first played it and the first God of War on the PS3 with the God of War collection. These are a few of the games i actually achieved a platinum throphy (not a trophy hunter my any means).
I still have to get around to God of War (PS4). I have it still sealed, along with Bloodborne and so many many more. I hate having the money to buy games but not the time 😠
Nioh ❤️. The game that made me understand the "souls" genre and in turn made me addicted to it. I hope for a long and and successful continuation of the series.
