@somnambulance Spin Master just recently started making figures of PS games. They're currently doing human characters (Aloy, Jin, Kratos the ones you'd expect to be made first) but they'll probably do other non-human ones if they sell well. Ratchet, Astro etc.
If Helldivers 2 bombed and didn't sell then I could see it as a possibility. But since it was a big hit I don't think there's any chance of that happening.
That's really sad to hear. I hope Lost Records does well.
But also... "They are creating an atmosphere of extreme violence"
I understand being passionate but that's a huge leap dude.
"They accused us of being too aggressive to speak with"
I wonder why ๐ค
Thank you Push Square, I was having a pretty good day until you reminded me Angel of Darkness was a thing. The 10 yr old me now remembers... I do love Tomb Raider though so I'll probably still buy it just for 4 + 5.
@get2sammyb Hey just wondering if this is the "complete" version. When the game originally came out they took a section of the game out to make it a pre order bonus (for whatever dumb reason) so just wondering if that was put back for this release. Thanks!
I've never understood why people even waste their time doing this. You changed the review scores on Wiki, great! That doesn't somehow erase the real review scores from existence.
I remember some players (me included) were hoping for an Until Dawn sequel back then. I'm not sure if they'd be able recapture what that original game had though. Even Supermassive has tried to ever since.
I like that idea way more than how it is over here. In fact, Sony was doing that initially during the PS5 shortage (that's how I got mine). But on the flip side, a new player interested in getting one will now be screwed.
I really loved the game but the performance was my biggest gripe. Although I do agree that it only being able to be fixed with the Pro is kind of a cop out; Especially when Sony's first party studios are already able to do it.
Sucks that they aren't even releasing plates for people with the original model. Oh well I guess us fat PS5 owners will be left out going forward. Still, good luck everyone. I hope everyone is able to get the stuff they want.
Oof. That really sucks to see, and also kinda surprising. When Astro launched I remember seeing in my feed how it sold out a few times at different Japanese retailers. So I guess they just didn't have that many copies available(?). Still, I'm hoping the little dude succeeds.
The price is steep, but the sticking point for me at least is that it doesn't come with the disc drive. Like they seriously couldn't have just thrown that in and given players the option right out of the box?
@Loamy If it's a pre order then they won't charge you until it's in stock ready to ship. At least that's how it is for games and peripherals. So hopefully it's the same for consoles too.
I'm genuinely interested in seeing what happens with the Pro. It obviously won't appeal to all of the players, but definitely will to some. Even though I'm priced out of it I'm not outraged at it either.
I too am really surprised at the level of support. I mean why aren't all the other studios more upset at seeing their characters reduced to cartoon shills being used to promote some small game? ๐
Just in case for those unaware who might stumble upon this comment; the Astro Nendoroid figure is also getting a re-release. So for those interested or if you missed out the first time pre orders are now up ๐ Happy launch day everyone!
"His hands appear on-screen when the whip is used or when he's running." I really wish I could be excited for a 1st person Indiana Jones game. I'm really happy for all the PS players that wanna play it though.
I guess overpaying for studios + their IP while expecting players to flock over to your platform afterwards and having it not happen would cause you to change your plans. I also don't get the whole "it's an industry wide thing". Like nah dude I'm pretty sure Nintendo and Sony are doing pretty well for themselves.
I use a 5TB external storage that works just fine for my purposes so this isn't for me. Plus I doubt I'd ever need that much space on my PS5, but good for those that would if they're willing to pay.
Not surprising to see. That'll always happen when companies put "Limited" on their products. I saw that it went back in stock a few times on PS Direct though so hopefully most of the people that wanted one were able to get it.
What's interesting is it actually selling that many. I know people that were interested in the PSVR2 but the price kept them from jumping in. Just shows that there's at least some interest there if it were more affordable.
Very nice ๐ That Aloy in particular looks pretty incredible. Also nice to see Jin in the line. To my knowledge the only figure he's had is the Figma and that's gone way up in price over the years. I'm curious to see how deep the line will go.
I wish everyone involved would just move on at this point. I know some people like/miss Days Gone but it's just not happening, which Bend has stated multiple times. For me personally I'm interested in seeing the new stuff they're working on.
Kinda weird considering there already is a PS4 version of Bounty Hunter available right now. Even just looking at this trailer I can't really tell any difference.
Really glad to see this release. MVC2 in particular has a weird time running on some emulators sometimes so it's great to have an official version readily available for players. Even if it took this long lol
I've never really understood that argument. Sony's studios do the more mature narrative games very well so of course they're gonna focus on those. But there's no reason why Astro Bot and Lego Horizon can't coexist with God of War and TLOU. It doesn't have to be one type or the other. I'm glad they're doing more games like this(will be buying both) but I also don't want them to do a hard shift either. Balance is nice.
Sucks that not everyone will get to play it right away. Remembering all the discourse a while back about the frustrations some devs felt about having to make their games for the S too, I'm starting to wonder how long it'll be until some just start saying "no".
Glad to see it's still getting updates. I really loved this game so I'd definitely be up for more content. Hoping for a future performance update though ๐
Atm, I'd say it's working pretty well. As their bigger games take longer to make it's smart of Sony to get a Stellar Blade or Silent Hill to help fill the gap during that time. I've been enjoying what the PS5 has been getting. Plus I'd rather have it this way than have their first party studios just rush games out unfinished. There's WAY too much of that going on as it is.
If it's anything like other past Ubisoft games the quest will probably be a small inconsequential bonus. For those patient enough they could probably snag one of the pricier editions for a discount depending on how the game does since Ubisoft tends to cut the price of their games pretty quickly.
I've really been enjoying my time with it so far. Nioh combat in a setting I always enjoy, plus beautiful ost ๐ What is there is fun. The open world isn't overly bloated either which I appreciate.

Re: Sony Fights Scalpers in Japan By Demanding PS5, PS4 Playtime
@Bunchesopuppies Just meant the concept in general. Like during the PS5 shortage; a new player interested in getting one wouldn't have been able to.
