@PuppetMaster loved deadman and mama hope they are back in some capacity.

Kojima single-handedly justifying the pro purchase you love to see it.

@Shalooda Yea I'm 37 and comfortable I will buy what I choose and preordering the newest PS console is the top of my list 🤣 and I will enjoy it!

@Diowine I don’t think it’s dumb if you are enthusiast and gaming is your hobby. Buying a new console once every four years is not a bad investment when you think about the use you get from it. Factor in people with two homes or a cabin or whatever and now you don’t have to pack up and take it with you. Or people who will sell the PS5 for $400 and only have to pay $300 out of pocket, which I’m assuming is a lot of peoples plans. I think in general we are being way too harsh on people’s choice to upgrade. Shoot my PS4 pro is still running in the office I plan on keeping my PS5 pro at least as long.

@Sergo I would predict it sells comparative to the PS4 Pro. It’s a smart move on Sony’s part. As with the Portal, which has been a sales success, people are assuming because they are not the target audience the device is a mistake or failure. This keeps repeating itself.

@Titntin yea she has a track suit like thing that is much more modest you can unlock pretty early on I switched to and stuck with. Combat is great. To be fair she almost has an alien quality to her rather than human. Like a species Captain Kirk comes across and sleeps with or something 🤣

@Frmknst You really need the check yourself with this attitude. If we act/speak like this here this website’s comment section will become IGN. People have different experiences and wants/desires out of gaming. Your single point of view is just that… your single point of view.

People are so judgmental on here lately. Calling someone a mark or without sense is hilarious.

@nomither6 That’s more like it!

@The_Wailing_Doom The first time I have seen a positive and sensible comment about my state on the internet in a long time. We do bully other states with consumer protection laws but it’s for their own good 🤣

@RoomWithaMoose That wouldn’t be a license though.

@NEStalgia I’m not sure if Jar Jar was the biggest misstep in that movie or just making aliens based on racial stereotypes… either way there were a lot of questionable decisions. Midichlorians will always be my least favorite personally. “The Jedi are so cool and mystical like ultra powerful space monks.” “Yea but they get their powers through microscopic space bugs in their blood now.” “Oh okay… that’s cool”

@Balosi Astute observation. The more they tried to explain Star Wars (think midoclorians) the least mystical and special it felt. I do think there is a lot of the universe to explore and the aesthetic is top tier, but much of content post-original trilogy has been either misguided or half-baked.

@nessisonett Technically not a lie but functionally yes a lie 🤣

So far I have replayed Death Stranding and TLOU2 for a second platinum thanks to these remasters and the fair upgrade price. I will likely do the same here. This is a smart way to get an extra rip on these games at a time when profitability on single-player exclusives are at a low. I also consider it extremely fair to purchasers.

@Waitinonpsvr2 That would be a copyright and trademark issue not a patent issue. And it’s way to early to say they have no case.

@Ralizah Yea they get a lot of crap for being overly litigious but considering how much their IP is actually infringed I think they usually show restraint.

@jrt87 “Fish out of water” stories are pretty common in media. You place a character into a world/scenario they wouldn’t normally be in and they either sink or swim. Big Trouble in Little China, Elf, Army of Darkness, etc. Not to mention real world examples have been dramatized I.e. Lawrence of Arabia.

@torquex The key difference is Brits wasn’t a derogatory term used by other countries during a World War.

@Bobobiwan yes regardless of the veracity of Nintendos claims, which no one can actually speak to with any authority because not enough information is out, this game tried to copy Pokémon. It’s a weak move I’m not sure why people are defending it. This game strikes me as a lazy cash grab.

@CielloArc what are you basing the claim that the patent wouldn’t hold in court on?

@RubyCarbuncle It doesn’t help that patent litigation is some of the most complex there is. It’s way too early to say who is right/has the best argument. I will say Nintendo generally wins because they have the law on their side, not just because they have elite lawyer money.

@Dalejrfanfreak I think it’s way too early to call this “defeat.” If the game is up to Sucker Punch’s usual quality this will be a sales success with strong reviews. Choosing to go with an anthology style series for the IP will keep the stories fresh and interesting!

@WanderingBullet she shoots a long arm at the end of the trailer! Gonna add a little variation to the gameplay. I’m hoping it’s realistic in where you basically have one shot and a long reload so you can use it strategically.

@AhmadSumadi Also like the portal it will sell out and be hard to get for a while.

@NEStalgia data harvesting, especially right now, isn’t just valid criticism it’s the best valid criticism.

@Gamer83 they have the 13k+ Patreon most of which are at the $5 or higher tier and it’s the largest PlayStation podcast. I doubt that’s the motivation.

@get2sammyb Also, to be fair, I can only think of one time in like... 15 years... when his source was wrong. I believe that was the Bloodbourne remake.

@torne Not really. It’s a license and likely barely anyone is using it. One of the main premises of a license of any kind is that it isn’t perpetual. A movie ticket is a license to be in the theater. An invitation to a friends house is a license to be their. A software license follows the same premise, you can use it while it’s available unless you break a term of use.

@LowDefAl 100% agreed. The reason this took so long is because Nintendo did their homework and feels confident in a win. All litigation is dangerous (I think my firm has been in actual trial once in the last two years) which is why most people settle. Patent litigation is especially dangerous.

@get2sammyb Its demonstrably untrue. There have been many, many massive sales successes.

@naruball my least favorite is the YouTubers face with “Is iT AcTUalLy GoOd????” Or whatever in the thumbnail.

@LikelySatan Yea this pretty much cuts my interest in the game.

I am excited for this game and will buy once I get through the games I am currently playing. Loved the original!

Is it censorship if the creator chooses not to include content from the original in the remake? I would argue no. Especially, if that removal is to avoid pushback from part of your audience. This was a calculated business decision, not censorship. The original and remaster are uncensored and still available. The remake does not match the studios current values and business climate. They calculated higher sales by removal of small amounts of content. That’s just good business, especially if sales are high and they can avoid the constant articles about how problematic parts of the game are.

@LifeGirl maybe the next movie to make a billion dollars that movie is gonna be huge

Cleaning up the last few trophies today. Luckily, I have not experienced any of the bugs that have been described, and this game has been an absolute delight. Most of the levels are fairly easy but still felt satisfying to complete. The challenge levels have posed some greater difficulty than I was expecting which was a pleasant surprise.

DOOM was not great but it was entertaining. The FPS scene was very well done, good casting with Urban and Richard Brake who is always a fantastic character actor. The movies real mistake was casting The Rock and trying to be something it wasn’t. Borderlands was just a cynical cash grab.

@StonyKL I fixed the drift with cheap thumbsticks from Amazon.

@gollumb82 actually, we don’t know who decided to include deacon in Astro Bot. They probably gave Asobi a list of available IP they owned, and then a secondary list of IP they could license to use. There is actually a fair amount of non-Sony owned IP in the game it’s an interesting case of licensing because we know the budget of the game wasn’t very high and they did have to license a lot of likenesses.

@the_sultan999 hey just wanted to say thanks I have used the site many times it’s been a great help!

@Legacy2K have they ever done that when a game goes offline?

@Loamy Steven Seagal is still alive 🤣

@KundaliniRising333 It’s gonna make a billion dollars regardless based on the target audience and IP recognition.

The only real question is whether Jack Black writes and performs a song. The Mario movie wasn’t great, but Peaches was a banger.

This whole “controversy” feels completely fabricated. I think what likely happened is a small dev team was struggling to meet the release date on both PS5 and Xbox and Sony gave them cash/resources to hit the release date in line with the China Hero Project. The devs accepted knowing that Xbox would be an extremely small portion of their overall sales. No controversy there.

@LikelySatan I hope this game is good but the dev does not have a good track record. I do love the stupidity of it.

@Arnna you’re using that word wrong

@BetaRabbit64 it’s gonna be a rare platinum

@Wardenknight133 I don’t know if it’s even possible to save this game by pivoting to F2P. It’s narrative is so overwhelmingly negative at this point that good will and interest from the audience might be impossible to gain.
