Color me shocked at no crunch when we didn't get official word of the game's existence & release date until 3 months before release.

@KidBoruto Oh yeah, I totally see this happening. We got a good 4 months before the game is out, plenty of time to refresh our memories and stay hyped with whatever else they show until then.

@jmac1686 I fear this to be true. It'd be nice to see a return to the overworld, even in the same scale as Ghost of Tsushima's map traveling.

Funnily in the Syphon Filter demo Lian Xing is named "Mei Xing" an obvious ode to Mei Ling in MGS1 but clearly they couldn't keep that in lol.

Without prior knowledge I would've considered Syphon Filter a Sega Saturn game, it sort of has that look to it that I can't describe that reminds me of Resident Evil & Tomb Raider's Sega ports.

@KundaliniRising333 Snap, are we in August now? Anyways, I think you're reaching on this one. This is probably the most neutral article if I've ever seen one and reads more as a repost. Speaking as someone who isn't getting this remaster day one. I'm expecting a nice soapbox article once its out.

@Uncharted2007 I recall this game being featured in a video before and it was compared to a real life situation with the 1972 Andes plane crash that happened between Chile and Argentina. But outside the plane crash and location everything is its own story as @get2sammyb pointed out. Very cool to see this gem of a game finally make its way overseas.

Man, this game has such good memories for me. I didn't own the complete game as a kid, instead I replayed the demo (which had the first two levels & 2-3 gadgets) over and over until I was able to get it finally in my collection in my late teens.

Have to say this definitely aged better control-wise compared to the other PS1 titles, especially since the D-pad for once wasn't used solely to move the character around and instead it's the left analog stick. As for the camera... oh yeah, it's awkward, but overtime, I've gotten used to just spamming L1 at every turn and just going about as usual.

The trophy hunting, oh this was an easy one. You can platinum this in one go without going for 100% competition for the true ending. It also looks amazing with the Retro Classic filter in 16:9. Definitely worth the two platinums (PS4 & PS5 version) if you want an easy going run.

Pawsitively ameowzing

@UltimateOtaku91 Especially when the image gives it away lol

Now that the cat's meow

I don't get how this could be spun into a negative, assuming this is true. These are some solid reviewed games and fits into catering a good majority who had enjoyed them. Like them or not, this is reminding me of how good PS+ was back on PS3 with decent titles being added again versus the luck of the draw from PS4 era. There's more reason to be optimistic, we just really need more classic titles before PS3 again, pronto.

Since the Ezio Collection didn't have the multiplayer trophies attached, I may actually revisit those games for the platinum (well, for Brotherhood & Revelations mainly since I did get AC2's platinum). AC peaked during the Ezio fandom for me, I never cared for the ship and sailing additions in AC after and AC3 was a letdown from its hype.

Great, now where's the showcase with the in-game footage? Nah, I'm kidding. This looks sick, I'm hyped now and can't wait to pre-order.

Some of these comments are like stepping into the DailyMail... anyways, while I'm fortunate enough to be able to buy any game I want day one at full price, I know my limits. I'm paying for a game that I expect to return to overtime versus the subscription model caters more to those who are fine with playing a game once and being done and over with it.

The $10 increase seemed fine to me since we were fortunate enough to not have the expected $10 increase during the PS4 generation. $40 for a new PS1, $50 for PS2, $60 PS3... not to mention the inflation, we could've been at $80 now if the record kept going.

But... we're getting games less frequently now and it seems like with the subscription model being the most economic sense we might be seeing more games in a smaller scale or larger titles less frequently since the $70 was meant to even out the developer's work more so versus Microsoft's money making up the loss for developers. I'm not feeling so optimistic with either outcome. Maybe games should revert back to $60 or less since Nintendo & Xbox are going to remain that price as an edge over Sony.

@MFTWrecks Haha, I wonder what the comparison would be on the Xbox side. This is definitely how early 3D gaming was hyped up to be.

Ah, the rewards of being patient pays off again. Looks sick.

I don't recall ACII having online multiplayer, unless they're talking about the UPlay connection for extra stuff. Brotherhood I have fond memories where it went from people following the rules on remaining stealthy for the kill to just people wreaking havoc chasing each other on first sight.

All these PS3 games having online trophies tied to getting platinum sucks since it'll be impossible to platinum them now once the servers are shut down.

It makes sense for PS3 and older stuff to eventually work with PS5, was anyone else shock at how plugging the PS5 controller into the ps3 read it like normal (aside from the PS button)? Especially when you needed to go through an extra step to get the ps4 controller recognized?

1. Hogwarts Legacy
2. Crisis Core
3. God of War Ragnarok
4. Forspoken
5. The Callisto Protocol

@xMightyMatt14x Hey, so I checked for you on my PS5 and the Uncharted Nathan Drake Collection shows up under "Classics Catalog" but not on the default listing. If you're able to view "Classics Catalog" it should be there hopefully.

@Uncharted2007 MGS2 tried to warn us, but boy did we not expect it to this gravity. 😂

@Would_you_kindly Cory Barlog, as mentioned here and in the previous article https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2022/06/god-of-war-ragnaroks-ps5-ps4-release-date-reveal-was-delayed-from-today

@Would_you_kindly There is a recent tweet by Cory that says the game hasn't been delayed so far. I believe they already said God of War Ragnarok won't get the upgrade last year. Horizon got the free upgrade because it was promised back when its original target release date was in 2020. While they weren't going to offer it for Horizon after its delay, they eventually did so because they already promised it and had to honor that. If they do the same for GoW:R that'd be nice but I wouldn't expect it.

@LiamCroft Right? They're working hard on the game and get hate. They decide to finally respond after straight up harassment and death threats and they're considered deflecting? Crazy people online.

It's a tie between the SOP and Final Fantasy Celebration. SOP just because it blew the low expectations.

Yep, looking forward to rage quitting on Crash 4 with how difficult I've been hearing it is.

@WallyWest Yo, no one ever said it was without flaws and issues. You seem to be venting now and maybe we outta just agree to disagree at this point.

Your version of a "hot mess" and "broken" is different from our version of a hot mess and broken game.

You really outta re-read @themightyant's comments. You don't have to prove the game has issues, everyone already said that. We just don't consider it as broken as you're alluding to. Also, look at Horizon Zero Dawn's patch updates on the wiki and compare. This isn't the first open world to receive a lot of patch note updates after launch and still be considered polished. Whilst we already agreed HFW wasn't perfect and had issues, it ain't broken. It just needed tuning.

I think we actually outta wrap this up now cause this isn't even a Horizon article. So I'll leave it at... boooooy. 😂

@WallyWest The infamous "my friend did" experience holding over the people you're having a present conversation with. @themightyant already pointed out the flaws in your argument that you're conveniently skipping over just because. Now going back to equating Horizon as a "hot mess" when the most recent and valid example of a hot mess was Cyberpunk 2077.

As for why they needed a State of Play for performance mode. Uh.. because they made it look even better? To help promote people to replay the game and now get a newer experience since they were also promoting the new update of New Game+ and difficulty. On second playthrough those who played on Quality mode previously can now try Performance Mode and don't have to feel like they have to play an "ugly" game for faster frames.

Look at this image example right here prior to the update with Performance mode. I only went with the first article I saw for this image: https://cdn.exputer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Horizon-Forbidden-West-Fixed-Performance-Mode-1536x864.jpg.webp

Sony's been more silent this generation and letting announcements happen later than usual. Remember when the PS5 date/price was finally revealed? Least they're transparent and making sure whatever date they promote is their target. Ifit comes out this year, awesome. If not, fine by me. I don't have to know right now if they aren't ready to share.

All these negative spins on why we haven't received a release date and trailer just yet only dwindles the impact on the surprise Sony's been working to in revealing this game. The game's going to be fire whether it comes out later this year or next year.

@77dreams This lad understood the assignment and I hope this doesn't get removed. Adding to it, just because a certain situation doesn't affect yourself personally, doesn't mean everyone has to ignore it and "just move on" or the other argument of "I came here to escape it not be reminded of it".

Given the recent article on the developers being harassed for information on God of War, it's a sad state of gaming with the level of entitlement now.

@WallyWest I don't think anyone's arguing with you on Horizon Forbidden West not being perfect and glitch-free. Just you placing it with Cyberpunk in terms of broken and horrible is going to get you some major side-eye lol. Just speaking as a non-fanboy of the series.

@xMightyMatt14x As someone who also fell out of the original God of War games, the recent one is pretty good. If you're down with the third person narrative-driven games, this is up your alley. Like the others said, it's free, might as well give it a try.

A pleasant surprise. Guess I'll be playing more than Stray now next month.

Yeah, in this day and age of instant information, we need more than a "It's coming" teaser. The more posts we get, the more likely it is near ready versus the silence that just gets everyone assuming the worst.

@Abeedo Ehh... as much as I'd love to have an Afro-fantasy our own western culture rarely even gets Afro representation correct without resorting to stereotypes and tropes. Maybe if it's handled like Afro Samurai & Yasuke.

I really don't have a problem with this game being offered on multiple tiers. But the complaints here do at least make more sense than the issue people had with God of War being added in as if every casual gamer in the world owns it when statistics say otherwise.

I'm excited to get Crash 4 though, it was on my list to eventually buy but you know, all the other gorgeous games that came out took a higher priority.

I thought this was going to be an article on PlayStation making up for the lack of promotion by spamming PS+ promotion emails to everyone. But uh... okay, thanks for the read here lol.

@gingerfrog You're focusing on the wrong part of my post bud.

An extra point to physical copies once again. Though now this creates more confusion since previously as long as you paid more than $0 for a PS+ game digitally, it'll always be yours after the subscription runs out. Will this also apply if say that game leaving the higher tiers, you pay full price digitally or will there be conflict with the license?

@Dezzy70 Uh... you know there was the big Pandemic that slowed game development down to a crawl by at least a year or two + the chip shortages that wasn't a thing in more recent previous generations. Next gen should've started this year instead of 2020 with all the delays and small amount of new releases.

Backwards compatibility didn't become an issue until PS3/360 gen when Xbox could only do a portion and Sony couldn't afford any longer to fully support PS2 compatibility in their later models. The difficulty with the Cell processor meant new software for the PS4 which meant bye bye compatibility overall. Now since Xbox filled in the gap that PlayStation was always known for it's time for a reminder of their humble beginnings especially with the slow rate of new games.

Nintendo however, has been consistent with sometimes offering backwards compatibility since the Nintendo Wii and the handhelds.

I'm on Premium. The Classic selection is... a start, for sure. I love the features with the PS1 games available currently, but they really need to add more.

@Areus Lol, It's amazing how far they leaped technically and graphically between each Tekken from 1-6. Having started with Tekken 2, Tekken 1 was painful to learn right after. Though TK1 did give us that Kazuya smile meme.

The very first PS1 game I ever beat at 6 years, it's quite a challenging game... until you realize how easy it is to break the AI when you spam low kicks (seriously, fight the Devil with low kicks makes it a tickle).

What's nice about Tekken is how easy it is to pick up casually and still have a good time.

@IonMagi They'll probably fix it stealthly if they don't ever address it. I think there were some that had the same issue when it launched in NA before it was resolved.

This is good news to hear for peeps overseas. Given the small catalogue of classic ps1 titles currently, they shouldn't take too long with offering the other versions.... Now I wonder if they'll also offer PAL version too for us with the other languages.

@UnlimitedSevens Man, Syphon Filter's controls bugged me even at first release thanks to Metal Gear Solid. 🤣 Ape Escape's only problem is the damn camera, I'll be spamming L2 every move just to see in front proper.

@Would_you_kindly Hey, maybe they'll stealth drop a new classic game in like they did for the North America launch having RE1 Director's Cut.

Ah, the good old days when there were 4-5 years in between each Sims installment and now The Sims 4 is approaching 10 years of nickle & penny "expansions".

Rebirth, just to see how else the story will be changed and what they decide to keep from OG FF7 in the next reimagining installment.

As a longtime FF fan since VIII, I'm a bit disappointed at what looks like it'll be a solo party adventure in XVI. But I'm sure it'll be great, from the team's history. We'll see if my opinion changes the more they show.

So this is the true Last of Us Part 2

@Col_McCafferty Here, here. In another twist, these story changes also give people a reason to still check out the OG FF7 if they want to with all the discussion going on. As much as I dislike how the final part of FF7Remake was, it didn't take away how good the rest of the game was overall.

I had a feeling when they announced it would be released in episodic parts, it would be 3 to match the original FF7 coming in 3 discs. But now all I can think about is how much of Disc 2 will be changed or removed since the end of Disc 1 was far from where FF7Remake ended.

@GorosBat You should probably look up the meaning of that word before ever attaching that to my name.

I said what I said. FF7 always released on PlayStation first, everything else later. Shouldn't be a surprise to see them bring it on the platform that helped bring each other the global success first. Remember how long it took Xbox to even get the OG FF7? That's all.

I never owned a PSP and missed out on this title, real dope to know it'll finally be accessible to play on consoles now

Alright, all I care about is getting the Barret Golden Saucer date and you can take my money on this new take of FFVII.
