Looks good, hope they make it compatible with the PSVR2 down the line.

@Godot25 Yeah, agreed. I think that's also why Sony hasn't bought Square yet, this whole drama.

@Godot25 You´re right, I forgot to change stop acquisitions for pause acquisitions. I don´t think it will stop, but last year was crazy, that was the only talk in the gaming industry. At least it stoped, even if its for a few months only.

I'm tired of all this stuff, but at least it put a pause to those Microsoft presentations, who are they going to buy tomorrow, today? The entire industry has become a competition of who will buy the most developers.
Who knows now, with all this drama of approval or rejection of the purchase, before making any decision they won't think a little bit beforehand.

Crazy to know that an opinion about women wanting to go to the bathroom only with people with the same genital organ as them is considered controversial, and the person in question, a modern-day Hitler for some people.

But extremely relieved to see that the HUGE majority of people don't think that way on this site, and seeing the game's sales around the world, the vast majority of people outside of this site don't think that way either.

All people, regardless of sexual orientation, deserve respect, what each one does with their life is nobody's problem. But when it starts to affect other people's lives, like a little girl, in a bathroom, with a grown man, it should at least be DISCUSSED. I have a daughter, and for me, not even being able to discuss this type of subject shows me how the world is increasingly authoritarian, it's scary.

About the game, as a huge Harry Potter fan, so happy it is great.

I already have and played Mafia, great game!
But I don´t have interest in the other games, maybe I`ll try Destiny 2 and grab 50 PS Stars points along with it.

@sanderson72 Yes, they were more fun in the previous generation. It's in this generation that they're kind of boring, we can't even change the background of the home screen (that I know). But I'm sure it's a design decision and in the future they`ll be slowly introducing more options.
And this is coming from someone who owns a white controller, a Midnight Black and a Starlight Blue, and close to buying a Gray Camouflage.
I think I'm actually part of the problem.. haha

I know that pink is not red, but the color variations of the controls always seem to stay in the red, blue or gray spectrum. And now fans discovered 2 new colors, Metallic Gray and Metallic Red. It must be a conceptual choice by Sony, but they could use a green or yellow color.

What will be next? Fashion Bordeaux? Arctic Cyan? Where´s my Forest Green?

@TrickyDicky99 A great success for Sony, unfortunately I don't own the brand.
Maybe you should be less emotional (it´s just a hobby), calmly read the whole conversation and learn context.
But if you consider Horizon, Resident Evil, Gran Turismo indie, that's up to you.

THIS franchise is part of Sony´s history, has potencial for games, tv, cinema, why they didnt bought it from Square at that price is beyond me.

@NEStalgia hahaha.. in short, Sony marketing sucks, the reporter, while with (I hope) good intentions, did some harm, PSVR2, if we lower our expectations, will sell fine.

@themightyant I don't know this reporter, and I'm sure he must be a serious person. But the timing of the news, along with Sony's horrible-to-non-existent campaign, did a great harm to the release. Perhaps Sony will wake up and start devoting more time to the new product.
Maybe we have to get used to this new Sony, because not even the new subscription service was well explained or publicized by them.

@TrickyDicky99 I'm just guessing, but when the first PSVR came out, there were around 70 million PS4s on the market. If PSVR2 manages to sell 1 million this year and another 1.5 million by March 2024, with 30 million (40 next year, or more) PS5 on the market, I would consider it a huge success. Again, we don't know what would be a big hit for them, but if you take those numbers into account, maybe 1 million is, and for a niche device like this we should lower our sales expectations.
Anyway, the news has already been denied by Sony, we will only know the success or otherwise of the product after launch.
I'm also concerned about future game releases and I don't think we'll always have games like Horizon, but Capcom are always supporting, maybe we get Half Life Alyx, I don´t know, but I´m excited. And this will be my first VR.

I don't know who this guy (reporter) is, but mission accomplished. Everyone is now claiming it's a dead product and hasn't even been released yet. Is the marketing horrible? Yes. Is the product great, does it have potential, are many people excited (including me)? Yes again.
It's a niche product, a steering racing wheel is a much more niche product than that, and Logitech keeps making it.
Perhaps 5 million units is considered low sales for many people, perhaps for Sony 5 million is clearly a huge success. If they manage to sell 1 million units, with a lot less PS5 on the market than PS4 at the same time, it will be considered great.

@koffing The only I way I see Sony making it compatible with PC is seeling the device at 999 dolars, since it´s high end technology, I think in PS5 they are selling or with a loss or without profit, because the 30% cut on the PS Store is the real money maker for Sony in this case.
But it's just speculation on my part.

@koffing With all due respect to what these people think, but that doesn't make any sense for me. They are different experiences. I can say the same thing, with the price of an XSX I can buy a PSVR2, or a cell phone, or a home theater.

For me, the only negative point of this whole VR story is Sony's apparent lack of interest in promoting the product, not providing tech demos like the first PSVR, not making a presentation, answering questions, etc. We know its a niche product. But the impression it gives, and I know this must not be the case (I hope), is that it seems that Sony has already given up on the product like others say here, and we don't know if Sony will support the product fully in the future.

@Gooseman42 I agree, and I also think it's missing those free tech demos that everyone likes to show their friends, family. etc, like going down to the bottom of the sea, seeing dinosaurs, etc. I think casual people who don't play video games are not going to be able to play something like Horizon, and they could sell a lot by releasing this experiences to more people.

I recently played this with my new 5.1 home theater and I have to say people walked out of the room at certain parts of the game. This game for me will be a PSVR seller.. haha.. Can't wait! (I'm pretty sure I'd rather watch someone play this than me..)

A new game with Chloe or Sam in the same universe would be awesome. Or with Cassie, Sam could be the Sully for Cassie.

This is sad. Not because of The Last of Us, I don't care one bit about that series (but I feel for the fans). But Uncharted is one of my favorites, just remembering the theme song already makes me want to play all the games again, and the universe they created has the possibility for many more games, with other characters. I hope they give the franchises, including The Last of Us, to other developers, so we can enjoy a little longer.

Where´s Drunkn Bar Fight?

I already pre-order the physical edition for my PS5, can´t wait!

The game looks fun to play, but the main character is insufferable from what has been shown so far. It would still be insufferable even if the main character were played by Margot Robbie or Amanda Seyfried. It´s not the color of the character, but her dialogue.

That said, I think this is an overreaction, maybe the dialogue gets better as the game goes on and the character gains experience, I dont know, I will give this game a chance when the price drops, because I've played games with worse characters, for example, Watch Dogs 2, a game that I ended up liking by the way.

About the graphics, I love Falcom games, so I can´t complain about Forspoken. haha

@Titntin Yes, sorry for my confusion. Didnt know PS Plus Extra was also available on the PS4, my bad.

@Jayslow I'm sorry, that's right, I'm confusing it with Collection. In fact, in my mind, PS Plus Extra was also only accessible through PS5, I didn't know PS4 had it too. My PS4 has been off since I bought the PS5, I think my head is deleting information related to it. haha.

@Titntin Sorry, I was meaning PS Plus Extra, the game will only come out in extra, and as far as I know, the service is PS5 exclusive.

Great month! I just dont understand why DMC 5 PS4 and DMC 5: Special Edition PS5. As far as I know, PS Plus Extra (edit) is only for the PS5, why anyone would want to play the inferior PS4 version?
About the games leaving, I´ll try to play Leo`s Fortune, hope its not a long game.

Edit: Sorry for my confusion, but PS Plus Extra is also available on the PS4, which I didn't know, so my sentence was not making any sense.. sorry.. haha

Does anyone know if this PS5 version comes with the first season included?

I didnt like the dialog in the trailer, maybe I`m getting old, but the game world looks decent, and the combat looks fun, maybe I`ll try when the price drops.

@themightyant Yes. Almost every Falcom JRPG has this types of trophies. Also missable trophies are the worst; I just finished The Messenger, and because I loved the game, I collected all the Seals of Power, only to find out I missed out on the platinum chance because of some stupid trophy about listening to the shopkeeper's story.

Im looking for A Space for the Unbound, looks incredible and relaxing to play. Maybe One Piece Odyssey, but I`ll wait for the reviews.

The original god of war is Ares, and without Ares there would be no God of War. The original trilogy is a tale of ambition and revenge, and it would be extremely important for the show to tell that story. I mean, his skin is white because of his family's ashes. By the looks of it they'll either just mention it in a talk with another character or completely ignore it.

@ILikeStake I feel for you, I know the struggle, I also reached the end of the season. Rings of Power on the other hand.. I have yet to finish.. which is a shame, because house of the dragon was awesome.

I hope this time Lara is not a fragile woman, but the confident, dual pistol, badass woman of the first 6 games of the franchise.

And I've played and enjoyed both the Legend trilogy and the new trilogy, and while the games are beautiful and great to play, that one is not Lara Croft in my opinion (new trilogy).

Unpopular opinion here, Shadow of the Tomb Raider is the best of the new trilogy.

@MrMeeeseeeks Or The Wheel of Time.

@AndyKazama What could go wrong putting Adol in charge of a ship?

Nordic, again? every franchise has to use this setting at least once it seems.
And sad that they changed the clothes from Ys I and II for this modern one (Adol looks like a kid from the 90s), since this is the next story in the chronology.
But I trust in Falcom, they almost never disappoint.

@themightyant Thanks! It's been exhausting, but for them it's totally worth it.

I thought the medium was pretty cool, and the observer is pretty good too. I think that as the Silent Hill team no longer exists at Konami, or Kojima, the next closest studio (for this type of game) to take over a franchise like SH seems to be Bloober Team. Hoping the game to be a huge success and maybe after this, who knows, another game with a original story for the franchise.

In a way I'm glad another studio is doing Uncharted, I really don't like Druckmann. Hopefully it's not a reboot but Chloe or Sam's next adventure.

@sanderson72 oh well, you ruined my dream. haha.. jk, thanks for the reply!

Would be cool if down the road they release, for collectors, disc drives for other console generations, like the PS3. One machine for all the Playstation history. I know it conflicts with the more expensive ps plus but at least the ps3 games won't need to be streaming. I know it´s only a dream, but...

It´s almost certain that GamePass will increase it´s price too. A Microsoft spokerperson said about the reasons for this new $70 game price: "This price reflects the content, scale, and technical complexity of these titles."
So, if almost everyone are already a GamePass subscriber, the only way to help fund these complex and technical games are increasing the price of Gamepass.

Very happy for Falcom and the series, extremely deserved. But what worries me is that with the popularity of the west, over time Falcom may feel obliged to change some things, and make the series less Japanese. I don´t know, ending the turn based system, or changing some anime tropes. I know I shouldnt be complaining about that..haha..sorry. But I hope they never change, the series is so charming.

I find the story of Americanism influencing the English language in the UK interesting. I'm Brazilian, and I dont know if its true, but a Portuguese friend of mine told me that in many places in Portugal kids are talking with Brazilianisms, and he doesnt like it at all. haha. I think the Portuguese of Portugal is very beautiful, so I understand him. The colonies eh.. anyway, looking forward to VR2, as someone already said, hope is backward compatible, Sony knows the tech, so hope they make it happen somehow.

Hope they can improve the app on the consoles now, i dont know if anyone has those issues, but for me it crashs all the time, even on my PS5.

@IonMagi yes, it's bizarre, everyone can see the hypocrisy on Sony´s part, no wonder many developers, mostly Japanese, are abandoning their preference for Sony when developing games.

@IonMagi Yeah, they censor a butt in a game - DMC 5 - but leave a sex scene in a first party game - Last of Us 2. This is one of the things, as an adult, that bothers me on Sony, even Nintendo is better than them in that sense, and has less censorship than Sony.

@Milktastrophe Yeah, same about AC Valhalla.
