"It wasn't a good game in 2015, and it's no better today"
I disagree with this part and all it shows me is the reviewer went in with the wrong mindset.
I love how some like to pretend we're paying more for Game Pass when in reality I'm paying less than what Now costs. This is one area Sony are far behind in.
@Milktastrophe The price Stardew is without a sale is more than worth it imo. I've put hundreds of hours into that game and it even got free updates for years after.
Why are some so angry at this?
I don't have PSVR and have zero interest in ever owning one but see no issue with Sony rewarding those that supported it with a nice bonus on top of the regular lineup.
I'm so tired of the entitled nature fanboys are getting.
Everyone saying they want Persona 6 should really consider checking out Shin Megami Tensei V when it releases in November. A game from the main series should scratch that itch while you wait for the latest entry in the spin-off series.
I was hoping for FF 16 or something from Atlus seeing as they apparently have 10 games in the works and we only know about two of them, SMT V on Switch and Project RE Fantasy which could end up anywhere. FF16 is pretty much the only PS5 "exclusive" that's a system seller to my personal tastes. Everything else looks cool but not "Oh man I need this console now!" cool.
Glad Sammy speaks his mind as always because I agree.
Sony had a good showing but none of this stuff drops for a while, some even years.
Meanwhile I have Metroid Dread, SMT V and Pokemon all before the end of the year on Switch.
All this event has done is confirmed, I don't need a PS5 till 2023 at the earliest.
Sony are becoming such a greedy company. I'm not supporting this or any of thier games till the UK gets a price cut to be in line with the US prices anyway.
@Residentsteven Pay more money? Nintendo games are £30 cheaper than PS5 games at retail. Plus sequel in a long running franchise does not equal same game again.
The only reason this game gor any hype in the first place was it being a PS5 exclusive and someone starting the rumour it's Silent Hill. go It looks so bland and generic to me.
I can't believe some in the comments are taking offence at you calling it an upgrade 😂 It's the digital version they ordered but with the added benefit of they now have the option to play discs and they got quite a nice discount too, sounds like an upgrade to me.
That's if they don't pull the same rubbish Sony did with FFVIIR and extend it last minute. Timed exclusives annoy me so much, they're literally paying to keep it from one set of fans.
My guess is THPS 3 DLC for 1+2 since this band was in its soundtrack.
The reason I think DLC is because 3 standalone after 1+2 would feel very lacklustre, 3 and 4 have a very different progression system so I can't see those coming together either, leaving only DLC as the likely option.
Seems the "it didn't look that good anyway" comments are already starting😂
I swear some people treat consoles like a football team. You're allowed to like Xbox/Nintendo stuff too guys, Jim Ryan isn't gonna come steal your PS5 Grinch style if you praise another system.
Seeing as the Persona team are currently hard at work on Project RE Fantasy I think P6 is way off.
As for the Worldwide release I hope this means more than Japan/America since Atlus regularly seems to forget about Europe, SMT IV didn't even get a physical release here.
I'm torn on Returnal dropping out the top 10, I really want it to do well but at the same time I hope this happens with all Sony 1st party games till they drop their ridiculous prices here.
I loved this game a lot but screw this. This is not anything to celebrate this is absolute bullsh*t. Shame on Sony and shame on SE for screwing over Xbox and PC fans.
@Intr1n5ic Or you know they could make the price actually match the US price rather than being essentially $30 more than there. Blindly accepting this isn't a good thing. I'd happily pay $70 but Sony can forget me ever paying £70.
Using no digital sales as an excuse is kinda pointless imo, so Pokemon Snap didn't also get digital sales? 😂
2nd is an amazing debut despite the doom and gloom here, remember it's a new IP and a niche genre.
Plus like 20 people could find a PS5 atm compared to the Switch install base.
@AhmadSumadi If I was American I legit would not care but cos I'm British that $10 increase is closer to $30 since apparently £70=$70 to SonyUK. £70=$98 in reality. We were paying £40-£50 for PS4 games so the new price should be around £55 here for it to be fair.
A £70($98!) rogue-like is still a hard pill to swallow so I'll pass for now with intentions of buying once it's drops to the more reasonable sub £40 mark. Sony are really at risk of pricing themselves out this gen, for my £70 I chose to get Pokemon Snap and Monster Hunter Rise instead. It's a shame too cos this looks really good.

Re: Fans Ponder Whether There's an Upgrade Path for Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection on PS5
Can't wait see those that crapped on the Skyward Sword remaster for being $60 praise this $70 remaster if Sony decide to be insane with the price.
