@ItsAlwaysSunnyyy Ah, I thought that was the case (think I read that article a while back?) But just wanted to double check. Great about VII, too- just added it to my wishlist! After beating the remake, and crisis core, I'm kind of keen to blast through all the originals again. Cheers!

Might just be enough to convince me to hop on board the sacrificial train...

Can you confirm if the extra options (boost mode, etc.) disable trophies? @ShogunRok

I'd maybe be keen to blast through the originals, but wouldn't want to lock myself out of unlocking any goodies!

Best way to improve it, would be to scrap it all and start again...

To think gamers the world over had held out in high hopes that this would deliver where 'Gotham Knights' failed, only to receive this tripe and realise it was actually that much worse!

How hard can it be to make a DC multiplayer/ squad based action-adventure rpg. Hell, there was already a fantastic ps2 era 'Justice League' game that did it pretty much perfectly. All they had to do was bring the environment, interaction and controls up to par with contemporary standards, swap the league for the Squad, and job done!

@Splat play Crisis Core Reunion, if you haven't already? Some similarities, (only 1 playable character, mind), but some cool twists with equipping and using materia. Feels like a solid middle-ground to me.

What I dislike about the recent spate of trime games, is they've severely nerfed the wizard and made him completely unviable for combat situations. In 2, he at least had ways of controlling enemies and potentially crushing them (with boxes), which was dropped (no pun intended) thereafter. I think the game plays better when you can, technically, stick to a single character and still solo every puzzle.

@Allfather it's true!

Cross-platform, hopefully can allow up to 4 people locally and online, and I'd love for coop support on story mode, but this is looking great! Had some fantastic times on bomberman on the ps3 with 7 controllers all synced up!

If it's not incredibly overpriced, looks nice and functions well, I may be tempted to dip on this! I do quite like playing games in bed on a lazy day, so actually being able to play my ps5 without moving room sounds good to me!

@ShogunRok so true! A solid 8 or so rounds, with each character facing their canon rival for the penultimate. Intros and outros, both, and this let's you unlock a new character. Classic Tekken.

@Unlucky13 It's so much better than it looks, and it looks like a charming, pixel castlevania. It's also free, so you may as well try it.

Classes seemed a bit dull to me... I did a quick run with barb and necro. The 1st was a bit boring, although I liked the use of 3 weapons for different skills, and necro was totally OP, plus quite similar to D3.
I understand D3 isn't much liked tonally, which I get, but felt the paladin and witch doctor were quite cool/ fun classes respectively, whereas here, things felt a bit bland after a few hours of using the same skills.

@Colour You had me at 8 hour plat 😉

@Keyblade-Dan the rules of Tekken know no bounds!

@Keyblade-Dan it was Gon, indeed! Haha...

That's a shame, but about as much as I expected 😅

@Uncharted2007 or the little dinosaur...

@munkholt seems they're trying to reimagine her with a new style (that appears to involve timed ground explosions and an energy field?) To separate her from Asuka, who, for all intents and purposes, basically is and plays like Jun. Or like Jun used to, at least!

I would love a snake eater remake! Poss. one of my favourites in the series, along with 4.

I miss the old Jack, when he had a much simpler design 🥲

Only watched the first few minutes, but combat looks like it's lacking some 'oomph'.
And who the hell was playing this? Talk about amateur hour! 🤣

Maybe dialogue is somehow contextual based on progress or player choices?

@tallythwack at least someone is appreciating all that hard work the devs put in! Haha

@Enuo always a nice surprise with each incarnation.

@Snake_V5 I haven't played the full game, but got the plat on Nioh, and played a few Ninja Gaiden games in the past- this is certainly the easiest of the 3!

@thechetearly You're right, all they need to do is make it half the size- barely been enough games that actually feel "next gen" to warrant a new pro console.

@ShadowofSparta I did just this! Keen to give the game a try

@Manboi16 I was just thinking the same... the animations are cool, and facially look more 'real' than ever, but at the same time, their expressions are almost more cartoonish, and with the muscular 3d models, reminded me of the way street fighter does cartoon characters 'realistically'... maybe we'll eventually see tekken x SF, after all!

@invictus4000 if you have a ds4, it should connect to your phone just in the same way, (Bluetooth on, push the 'share' and 'ps' button together till the controller flashes) and so long as you aren't trying to play actual ps5 games, the controller should support them?

@Cherip-the-Ripper "hard/ tough as nails", I.e. difficult

I'd think a 9 is a little high. It's good, but doesn't really do too much to differentiate it from previous entries (Nioh, I mean). A solid 8, which is in no way a bad score, but not fresh enough (in my eyes) for a 9.

Hmm... Paul's fighting style just looks a bit dull. I swear he used to be better than this? Doesn't even have his signature hair style to make him look more interesting!

But did they make it so completion trophies aren't locked behind single player? Most confusing decision ever...

This works great for me! Hoping to trade nioh 2 in for Wo long, now I have the former downloaded on plus, and the disc! 😈

@jrt87 that's because playstation is trying to be nice, and cover up for all the times you failed and died to Margit, before you beat him.

Looks good. I like the wafty way he waves his arms as he walks (a lot of 'w's there), but probably not for me.

@ShogunRok better this honest (albeit busted) reflection than, for example, playing God of War on 'give me God of War' difficulty, thinking Kratos is the biggest baddest guy in the whole Greek pantheon, only to come to Denmark and get slapped and killed by a nameless draugr in 2 hits.... 😱

@RemembersGems All of this! Such a great game and totally unlike any other fighter out there. I would do something similar, playing as Cooler, and transform for every fight. And if I lost a match- oh well- he'd have his spaceship come resurrect him into metal cooler and I'd surprise my friends with an extra life! Superb.

Tenkaichi 3 was one of my favourite fighting games back in the day- a huge roster (admittedly, not always perfectly balanced, but great nonetheless!) And so many great mid-game/ fight mechanics. I hope they bring this all back, plus the customisation and rpg aspect, rather than just 10 different Goku forms. Let us transform mid-match!

Such a useless waste, they should have just given this stuff to children for free.

@Bricktop33 My friends and I still talk about that to this day! Perhaps they will just make him push it... let's hope it remains unchanged 😉

Ooof! Yet to beat the REmake2, but this is the game that really cemented my love for the series. Gonna have to pick it up- also, can't wait for a ps5 remake of resi 5!

@burning_as_souls I felt the 2nd boss phase was a bit of a joke, but the 2nd level of the demo was considerably easier! I think the real key is that they're trying to plug the necessity of learning when and how to parry- after using it a few times to counter, the boss went down pretty quick.
Otherwise, it's a bit of a dance of using quick attacks (square) to power up your martial arts (r1 + square) and using power attacks (triangle) to lower the enemy stamina bar.
More sekiro, in a way, than souls.

Got the plat for both Nioh 1 and 2. You bet I'm gonna gun for the plat on this baby, too! 👶

Nothing for me, but satisfied with having time to clear up the backlog! Will add Code Vein, and maybe dip into it one day...

Jin's moveset looks a bit reminiscent of Lars', with all the flips and somersaults. And whatever happened to Lars? Wasn't he pegged to be like a new protagonist in a past title? Seems he's been swept under the rug since! All very Final Fantasy with that 1 wing, too!

@WallyWest Except for Paul's rivalry with a grizzly bear, that just so happens to be Heihachi's personal bodyguard, whom he once (non-canonically) blasted into space on a giant rocket, along with 2 generations of his own family. And why does he even need a bodyguard?! The dude literally has electricity charging through his hands and can punch through robots...

Reminds me of FF Crystal Chronicles. Nothing too groundbreaking, but it looks like it could be fun with some friends to play locally.

After the let down of Arkham Knights- a possibly fun game, but not really what people wanted- this just looks like an even further step in the wrong direction, aping the live service model that people are increasingly falling away from. They pioneered a great combat system, and then they give us lots of jumping and shooting...

@NinjaNicky the champions games were fantastic, and I've also eagerly awaited a more modern conpetitor- hoping diablo 4 will fill that gap!

@NinjaNicky the ps2 re-releases are hack and slash games (dark alliance 1 and 2), this is more of your pc style, top down, strategy type rpg with either real time and pause, or turn taking. More like the original dragon age game, than DA inquisition, if you will.
