i downloaded Journey this morning with no issues, it all seemed about normal but then again i live in the sticks and download speeds were never that high anyway

well i'm pretty sure i'll have the money saved by its release date but given that it might have limited demand AND because i have a huge backlog i might wait a little before getting a PS5

i am absolutely getting one though

@Nakatomi_Uk the thing is PEGI already has a icon for gambling

they should just put this on the box of every game that has a loot box in it but they wont because then the games have to be rated 18+ and so companies like EA can't sell their gambling mechanics to little jimmy who got hold of his dad's credit card

@ArcadeHeroes well that's pretty neat, good on them

@Octane it shouldn't but in this day and age where everyone has a soap box to shout off you know it will be, XBOX and Nintendo gamers will start demanding free games just because PlayStation gamers got some

i wonder if MS and Nintendo will do something similar? it could be bad PR if they don't

oh apparently they are ours to keep forever

not bad 4 games and while i own the Uncharted Collection i have never played Journey so as it's free i might as well give it a go

assuming i'm done with FFVII Remake in time that is

good thing i have a HUGE backlog to work through, that could keep me going until well into next year if need be

well it's a small step but a step in the right direction at least

@Nich0 and how about when he sits down on a bench he pulls his sword out the way or when you win a fight in the Colosseum they all do their classic FFVII victory poses or like when Cloud is in the dress and you try to run he does a dainty little run instead of a full on macho one or even that little cameo i won't spoil

they put a lot of little details into the game and i'm sure we still haven't caught them all

as for the swearing i think it's fine, it's not like they are all doing it every time they speak and the times Cloud has dropped a few expletives felt like they were in the right context such as saying "Everything's gone to s***" when at that point everything had gone to s***

it felt pretty natural to me honestly

Well i eas going to comment but @Matroska pretty much covered everything i was going to say in various posts so no point going over old ground

@nessisonett so is a Knights of Round, Quadra Magic, W-Summon combo

game breaking combo that, it will destroy anything

anyway on topic i actually kinda like this design, most mock ups aint that good but this one aint bad

i think anything in the first 6 half of the year (Jan-June) has a good chance at being delayed right now

i wonder how EA will infest it with loot boxes, microtransactions and DLC this time?

@gollumb82 6 had some great potential and i still maintain it was a decent action horror game but it did fail on it's execution and promises but i don't think it would take much to make it better honestly tighten the narrative a bit perhaps streamlining it into one story where you take control of certain characters at certain points, get rid of the forced stealth sections and maybe elaborate more on the global threat that it was supposed to have

@gollumb82 yeah they probably want to concentrate on the main line series first

i wonder if Resi 1, 5, 6 and 7 will get a similar treatment too, i know they are more recent but if it was only to make the character models game play and voices consistent

@gollumb82 it's not that we don't think it needs one nor is it that we don't want one it's just there are others that need a remake MORE than Resi 4 does right now like Code Veronica for example

@JohnnyShoulder true there are some left hanging which is sad

Still in the current climate what can be done

I just hope Square doesn't see it as a failure due to the current situation because there are other FF games i would LOVE to see remade someday

I thought that would be the case many people cancelled their physical pre-orders for digital so they could get the game on release when it was announced that game deliveries could be delayed

Ironically Square stepped up and people who ordered the physical version actually got it early while digital buyers had to wait

I wonder how many people who changed wish they hadn't?

@Matroska @1_W1NG3D_4NG3L that's pretty much what i was going to say, most games like this will match the lip movement with whatever language is being used

@Mince yeah i get that

i would rather have Code Veronica, Resi 4 is fine as is

@Mince i take it you're not familiar with me and how i role but that bit about buying it physical was sarcasm (although i personally am a physical media guy)

so sorry about that

should have brought the physical version then

all that aside it's a strange one to be sure, my guess would be a mess up on Sonys end and they will probably either let people download the correct version or release a "update" that will replace it with the correct version

either that or they will ask Square to make a language pack for it or something

FINAL FANTASY VII Remake

it's me so you know that's what it was going to be

yeah i knew about this never needed to use it though

and of course one of them is a cat girl

@DeepSpace5D that would be cool to be honest but i don't see it happening after all it's a drain on the battery

besides the PSVita didn't have coloured buttons and it was fine, people are blowing this up way to much

Honestly i kinda like it

does anyone else think Capcom should drop the number from the titles and just give the game a subtitle?

that way they can actually experiment more, try new things and the like because putting a number in title brings certain expectations with game franchises

"Given the disruption brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic"

in other words "no one wanted to work with us because they found a better option themselves"

So are they now naming Resi games so they can hide the number in the titles

I don't, while modern games look great and are still fun there is also a tonne of nasty business practices that i wish never happened, Microtransactions, loot boxes and the ship it now, patch it later mentality many publishers and developers have just for examples

I actually feel sorry for people growing up in the modern gaming era, yeah the NES games might not look as nice as modern systems games but at least it was just clean plain fun and when you brought a ganeyou got a full game, not 20% of one with the rest as "paid DLC"

probably what the day one patch we are already aware is coming is for don't forget the game hasn't officially released yet and the patch hasn't been deployed either

the writing has been on the wall for a while now anyway, the current situation just pushed companies into what they were going to end up doing anyway

besides E3 has been the XBOX show for years now, they are the only company that gets the best time slot and the most coverage so now they are all on a level playing field and i prefer it that way

@Nakatomi_Uk i'll be honest sometimes when i go back and play Resi 2 (Dreamcast) i just want to mow down everything so i play on EZ Mode and you start the game with a Uzi that has infinite ammo and no reload

it's fun

@vegeta11 well it wont pop until you rest and it tallies up but you shouldn't have to do it too many times, the only issue is night time and the monsters that come with it

@3MonthBeef the fixed camera angles helped those first 3 games too, never knowing what was round the next corner and hearing the moaning and scratching while not being able to look around for it

first person? i was hoping after the success of Resi 2 and 3 remakes it would be 3rd person or at the very least have options for both

@vegeta11 Noctis is easy to do, just fish a place dry and go to another but Gladio's is a bit harder, his only goes up while you explore on foot so best bet is to start at Hammerhead and run along the road until you make a lap of map (just follow the outside road), that should do it

oh i thought it was gone for good

and i agree with @jdv95 if they plan on doing next year what they was going to do this year they shouldn't even bother doing one at all

Nothing big really, just messing around on Star Trek Online getting TOS and Discovery characters through the story mode

@kyleforrester87 wouldn't bother me in the slightest honestly

plus she always wore shorts in FFVII anyway under her skirt

"PlayStation 5 enthusiasm will hopefully keep OPM alive for another generation"

you could say the same about the Series X but that didn't stop OXM shutting down so i wouldn't take it for granted

Unpopular Opinion but i really enjoyed Resi 6, yeah it wasn't a survival horror game but that didn't bother me and at least it added the ability to move while aiming

i was recently replaying it on PS4 and i still enjoyed it

Resi 6 is a good action game but a poor survival horror game

@ShogunRok thank you

well my money is earmarked for FFVII Remake so i don't have it yet, i will get it eventually though

i think it's less to do with the current health situation and more that they don't have anything to show

either that or the games run and look like crap because they refuse to update their game engine or use a new one

@nenads i get what you're saying but the thing is Sony doesn't have control of Prices unless it's a Sony published/owned game, for example a game like Dragon Ball Z Kakarot it would be up to Bandai Namco to decide the price even for a sale (and up to them if it even goes on the sale)

and there is a good chance this sale and prices were negotiated months ago before the lockdown was even a thing so as such they couldn't be changed, these don't happen over night
