I mean...they already confirmed a long time ago that these kinds of collabs would be paid so I don't really get why it needs to be reported on, again. 🤷‍♂️

Here's hoping the game actually releases over here in Sweden on the 15th.

I would hate to have to import the game, it would cost more than I'd be comfortable with.

Also, looks like Sweden might not get an Xbox version at all which would suck even more. 😕

@LowDefAl
Allow me to clarify a bit:
It looks unnecessary...to me.
I at least never felt like it was a game that could benefit from being remastered.
Not in a world where Killzone 2 deserves the remaster treatment way more than this game.

I know, I know.
I'm very much not the target audience for this one but still.

Oh wow.
This looks...unnecessary as hell.
🤣

Oh wow.
I had honestly forgotten that this game existed.
😅

It feels like it released, got some coverage, and then most people just moved on and forgot about it.
At least in the circles I move in.

Looks like I'll keep my base PS5 for the forseeable future.
I really see no reason for me to upgrade.
Most of those upgrades just sound unnecessary for my needs.

Started playing it today and so far it's pretty great if a bit over-whelming at times.

Honestly?
A PS5 Pro just feels like over-kill in my opinion.
I'm satisfied with the base PS5 and see no reason why I would waste money on upgrading to a more powerful version while mine still works as intended.

I have...kinda not heard of either of these games before now...
😅

Didn't watch it(I never watch these things anymore, stopped bothering after E3 2013) so I can't really vote on the quality of the thing but looking at the announcements coming out of Gamescom, it honestly feels like there wasn't any show or such in the first place.

Like, none of the new announcements felt neither exciting nor like they were of interest to me.
🤷‍♂️

Wait, this game's getting a remake?
But why?

I mean, sure, it was a fun experience back in 2015 but really feels like this is not needed.

Especially not in a post-The Quarry world.

“Knowing that the guy who designed the game engages with its mechanics and uses them, do you think franchise elitists will follow suit? Or is Miyazaki wrong, and the correct way to play the studio's games is to use the latest broken meta-build?”

No, and no. Those are not mutually exclusive. The “right” way to play Elden is what you personally make it to be, not what someone else feels it is. If that’s playing the latest meta builds, great. If that’s enjoying it blind, great. If that’s going through it at rune level 1, great. If that’s playing co-op and using ashes, great. If that’s using status spam or deleting the boss in seconds, great. What matters is the person having fun and not actively trying to impact other people’s enjoyment with their opinion of “the right way”.

Depends on the game and genre for me.

Soulslikes are ones where I really appreciate the challenge if it's done right(most FromSoft games nail this aspect pretty well in my opinion), but there are some, like Lords of the Fallen from last year, that just feel like the devs didn't know how to balance the challenge and as a result, fights just felt pretty unfair which made the game pretty boring fast.

When it comes to JRPG's, I generally prefer when they are harder and force you to use your head in order to make progress, Octopath Traveler, SMTIII(and both versions of SMTV), Trails from Zero and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 come to mind for this genre.

Other than these genres, I guess I prefer slightly easier games in general but I will always be happy if a game is challenging from the get-go.

Maybe I'm reading the headline of the article wrong but why are they fuming specifically until dawn over God of War: Ragnarök?

Honestly?
Vanillaware's weakest game so far.

Had been hoping for some form of turn-based combat system(or hell, even a return to the beat 'em up style combat from Dragon's Crown/Odin Sphere would have been greatly appreciated) and instead I get a passive RTS-style army simulator.
