I'm surprised Dead Space would be denied in Japan when there isn't anything in there that's worse than stuff you'd see in Resident Evil. Unless RE is heavily censored in Japan.

@get2sammyb
Hope to see you post some thoughts on this game if you get a chance.

@matekomlosi
I don't know if I agree with you as far as violence in games these days. Aside fom TLoU 2 (and even that isn't over the top) everything seems more PG-13 or very light R, not like back in the 6th and 7th gens where there was an 'edge' (maybe even a bit too much for some) to the brawlers and shooters. The Like a Dragon series, as much as I love it, is particularly watered down in this category.

I didn't notice anything in the demo that would lead me to think the game should get censored, but good to get clarification anyway. It does highlight how inconsistent Sony is when it comes to this stuff, though.

Looking forward to playing this. It's been forever and a day since a legit good tennis game has released.

@BIG3
Both great games, for sure. Metroid Dread is actually my favorite game of this current gen so I always have it in the rotation.

PS5 - Final Fantasy XVI

Switch - Princess Peach: Showtime, Metroid Dread

@Nem
I wish.

Great game and seems like a missed opportunity for Sony not to pick up Ember Lab considering some of the stupid $ decisions it's made this gen.

No thanks. Not every game needs a movie or tv adaptation, and one franchise that certainly doesn't is Golden Axe

I still haven't finished the main game. Once I do, I'll get the DLC bundle. If this isn't my favorite Final Fantasy game it's a 1a. to Crisis Core: FF VII's (particularly Reunion), no. 1. I like the action-focused combat.

I'm still playing through the game. Interested if I'll actually notice any of these changes.

I think Stellar Blade will be a great game but Nier: Automata is one of those games people will still be talking about 20 years from now.

Pre-ordered the game so had this weapon from the start back in 2016. Really fun to use, maybe a bit overpowered, but still cool to watch the chaos it caused.

I really enjoyed this game. Wouldn't say it's as good as Nintendo's best platformers but still really fun. Too bad the chances of another Toys for Bob-developed Crash Bandicoot game are slim to none.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is definitely deserving, but of the games on the list, I'd have Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth at the top. Awesome game. RGG Studio doesn't seem to miss.

PS5 - Final Fantasy XVI

Switch - Princess Peach: Showtime

Good. Always appreciate when the devs are able to take their time and compress a game. I'm sure the bigger studios are also capable of doing this same thing but when you have a big name game like Horizon or Final Fantasy or Spider-Man, there's going to have to be some cut corners to get the game out in the expected time frame.

I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out. The remakes were hit or miss but I do still consider this a very good series.

Sounds about right. Completes the remake series just before the PS5 era ends and with enough time to put together a full remake collection for PS6's day one lineup. Going to be interested to see how Part 3 plays out. Many times the third part of a trilogy is the weakest, imo, but Rebirth was a big step up from Remake so hopefully the conclusion is even better.

@Yorozayu
There's been stupidity on both sides of the argument.

I won't say the numbers are true but if the game was selling well, SE would be out there bragging about it. I think it's pretty clear it's lagging behind FF XVI, and even that game didn't do phenomenal numbers. Certainly neither helped PS5 hardware sales like Sony would have hoped when it signed up these games as console exclusives. A shame because both are good but it's clear the franchise does not have the appeal it used to.

Tekken 8 but I haven't fully completed FF VII Rebirth or Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth so that could change in the coming weeks. If the demo is anything to go by, I think Stellar Blade will also be one high on my list.

My most-anticipated game at the moment. The combat was the only question I had about it and the demo cleared that up. Not much longer to wait now.

It's got the Star Wars look and sound down and I think I'm one of the few who doesn't totally hate Ubisoft. Think this will be a day one buy.

I like seeing Sony get behind a new IP. Hopefully it translates into great sales numbers.

I'm sure there will be an expansion and it's not a big deal as long as it's made well and priced fairly. Capcom is very inconsistent, though. Sometimes they do things right like most of the Resident Evil DLC expansions. Other times they screw it all up like Street Fighter 6 DLC practices which are just disgusting.

Right now I'd go:
1. Tekken 8 (despite some of the foolishness with battle passes and all that)
2. Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
3. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

Star Wars games, just like the movies, have been very hit or miss for me, but I did like Force Unleashed 1 and the two recent Jedi games are pretty good, hopefully this continues the trend. Looking forward to the trailer.

I'll pay $70 for a new Astro Bot game as long as it's done right.

@NEStalgia
I wish it was that because then I wouldn't have to take too much time getting good at the combat.

@trev666
I agree. That was my first thought when I saw this news earlier. It's a problem I have with a lot of modern games. I'm happy they're not charging for New Game+, a practice a certain company uses, but still think it should be there from the get-go.

@SgtTruth
Fair points. I'm just going off what I've noticed. I actually prefer to play solo games as well. Always been that way for me, can't really say what made me think like this, but ever since I was young I always viewed gaming as a 'personal' experience at least at home. In the arcade I'd try to test my skills against others from time to time.

This guy just encouraged more people to play using the skin sut. He knows what he's doing.

He's half right. I think many people definitely prefer to play on a team so they can put the blame for a loss elsewhere but I don't think it's the age of the person that matters as much as the personality. I know plenty of people in my age bracket (40-45) who are the exact types Harada is talking about. And I know plenty of younger people who enjoy the games where you play individually because they want to prove they're the best.

Played it and liked it. Day one buy for sure.

Every fighting game has some kind of bs like this tied to it these days. Very annoying. The game is great but the nonsense on the side definitely isn't needed.

Well, fortunately I didn't dislike the combat, in fact, once it clicked, I really enjoyed what I played in this demo, hyped for the final release. I have a feeling I'll lose a few boss battles here and there but the gameplay is fun enough that I'll definitely keep trying to 'get good.'

Just downloaded it but definitely concerned after reading some impressions of it. I have very little to no tolerance for stuff like From Software games, hopefully the combat in this one finds a way to be less annoying.

Horrible idea, just like Resident Evil possibly going open world with RE 9 is a horrible idea. Not every game needs this setting.

Good thing a demo is coming out. If the gameplay is more Souls than Devil May Cry/Bayonetta/Ninja Gaiden, I'm going to have to pass, unfortunately. I have zero patience for Souls type games.

Been way too long since a legit great tennis game. I really hope this one delivers and lives up to the series' legacy.

@Darude84
I prefer physical copies as well, for various reasons but for those who prefer digital, that price is a good one.

Awesome, hope you enjoy it.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is a steal at that price. One of the top games of the year so far along with Tekken 8.

Same way I did about the PS4 Pro. I likely won't buy it and instead just wait for PS6 but I never rule out anything completely. I'll probably wait to get release and pricing details on Nintendo's next system first but if PS5 Pro is an upgrade worth it, I'll buy that too.

Demos are always appreciated.

Waiting until a sale but definitely want to give this one a try.
