The game looks great in my opinion, but it seems that the way to defeat enemies remains the same as the rest of the other 3D Sonic games, one of the biggest criticism I have of these games is the combat.
I hope they release a No More Heroes Compilation with 1 and 2, because Heroes Paradise on the PS3 is not the complete story. I also have both on the Wii, but I´m strugling to even think in start the game with the WiiMote control. haha.. also no HD or trophies.
This game proves that you don't have to have super graphics for a great story or gameplay.
I like this quote from Kondo-san:
"The games’ content and graphics might feel like they’ve come from another era, but I'm extremely confident that Falcom games retain their quality through time and remain as fun and engaging. We hold to this philosophy when developing today."
The games of the previous generations are always (with a few exceptions) inferior. If we're going to use this as an excuse, then we're just going to do remakes from now on.
Wow, this got me pumped. It´s how I play Doom sometimes. I wonder if some kind of action will appear on the screen, indicating the exact moment for the best shot, or if we're going to have to memorize the songs.
@AndyKazama This game, despite being pretty bad, also has an interesting story. The game's actress turned out to be one of the Glow women's wrestling actresses, the same one the Netflix series is based on. And I also agree that´s important to preserve it, even if it's horrible. It´s like a time machine, a relic from another era, and also very rare.
@Areus "revealed effort from South Korean publisher".. Yeah, I should have paid more attention.. haha.. but you´re right. I personally know very little about SK, so this is indeed a nice change.
@shadow2k This game is absolutely incredible, best one about time travel that I know, and Hououin (Hoooououin) Kyouma is awesome! Very nice idea for a tattoo, which numbers are in yours?
I guess they run out of games for the launch window / stream. If this is the route they are going, with nes games, they should really go after the rare ones. Like Bubble Bath Babes or Wacky races from Atlus.
Apple are slowing picking up several japanese developers, and it´s kinda sad actually. I really wanted to play Fantasian, looks really cool.. haha.. who´s next? Koji Igarashi?
@UltimateOtaku91 Yeah, actually they're filming the third season right now, but I don't know if something will be shown, or if it will be TV related, it was just a hunch. But I think it makes sense.
@UltimateOtaku91 I think they'll show a trailer for the Sonic series, and maybe something about The Witcher. I don't know exactly which one, but I think it will be focused on the live action game series/movies.
@thefourfoldroot1 "The disdain and clear embarrassment with which they treat traditional Japanese output has made that quite clear; as has the pandering to consumers who mindlessly champion their censorship policies.... Shame they no longer have the diversity they once did..." This! The rest I couldn´t care less.
Looks great, really looking forward, it´s nice to see they are trying something different with the 3D Sonic. For the purists, myself included, they should release Sonic Mania 2, everyone will be happy that way.
@Justjuzy Yes, I know. But SIE is in California. Nowadays Sony (gaming section) is japanese only by name. This was already discussed is this comment section.
A car movie doesn't seem to fit Blomkamp's style, but I'm curious. If the tone is more serious, without cringe characters trying to crack jokes every minute, with great practical effects, more like Top Gun (planes, I know) than Fast and Furious, I think it could be good.
@Golem25 My thoughts exactly. In a perfect world, I wish SEGA remains independent, I don´t want neither Microsoft or Sony put their western hands in them.
Come on Sony, 28% of unsatisfied people is a lot of people. It´s like they are satisfied with this result: "look, it´s a 7 out of 10!". It´s almost 6 million people.
@theMEGAniggle Thanks for the reply, yeah makes sense with this explanation, but still it´s a bummer. Next year, when PSVR2 and Oculus Quest 3 releases, it´s something to consider.
I mean, I recently just bought a PS5, so I´m not abandoning Sony any time soon, and I still have an incredible backlog of games from the PS4. But if this trend continues to grow, next gen I´ll go with the Switch 2. It´s not only the live service games, but the censorship (while allowing it in games like Last of Us 2) and lack of support/abandon (in my eyes) from/of indie, A, AA japonese developers are killing it for me.
I won´t buy the older PSVR because I`m saving for the PSVR2, but kinda stupid to not let older games be compatible (I read somewhere about this), I mean, PS5 already has retrocompatibility with the PS4, they just need to add support for the camera and the ps Move, with such a large library of games it will be kinda stupid to not do this. But knowing Sony they will likely release remakes of the older games.
@BartoxTharglod Nintendo is breaking record sales with the Switch, focusing on single player experiences, ps4 broke records last gen, focusing on single player experiences, so its clearly not a vocal minority. Live Services games, in this day and age, are clearly important, but it seens that Sony, for me personally, are slowly abandon what made then cool in the PS4 era.
I think Capcom will release all of their classic PS1, PS2 games, not just Dino Crisis, maybe they just need more time to adjust some things, like trophy support, this will be a good test for them to see if this franchise still has fan support and maybe in the future release a RE2 treatment.
I really don´t like Soulslike games, but EVERYONEs talking about Elden Ring. I always looked at these kind of games as niche. Maybe I should give it a try.
I really like platform games, so the inclusion, as bad as it is, of Balan is a nice surprise. It's a game I would never have bought. For me the only omission is Knack 2, I really liked the first one. Unless I missed it on the list.
Hum, solid start (for the extra tier), if I`m correct , Gamepass (the direct competitor) lauched with only 100 games, and Sony will include even more games in the coming months.
@Korgon @KayOL77 I did the same, i got through the first one, barely, because the story was intriguing enough, but the gameplay was.. well, not for me..
Nothing against a sequel.. on the contrary, I wish there was more games like this in the industry, people trying something new. But they won't always be able to please everyone.
I didn't really like the game that much, but I have to give it to Sony and Kojima to finance such a different and expensive game, in an age of only Battle Royales and safe bets.
@RogerRoger Yes, nice to meet you! Shadow of The Tomb raider is, in my opinion, the closest to the original games we've ever had, it's beautiful, scary and awesome! (thanks, I really needed to get this off my chest..haha)

Re: Next Ys Game Teased with Artwork, May Have Soulslike Elements
I don't think this is good news, the best thing about Ys, and one of its main features, is its fast-paced action combat.
