No 40fps mode? Would be perfect for this game, it feels like Insomniac are the only devs to bother with it.

Would be interesting times to live in where Sony makes Halo, Sonic and Zelda adaptations.

@Hundred_Hand_Slap And at what point in my comment did I claim Sony made the Crash and Spyro remakes? I just said they should've followed the trend of other PS1 remakes.

@jFug @Llamageddon If you guys really couldn't tell that was obviously taking the p*ss out of people complaining about everything being woke (including the other PoP game that came out a few months ago) there's no hope I'm afraid. Like come on, the dude is purple. You thought that was a serious complaint about race swapping?

Anyway, for a serious comment. The game looks alright. Dead Cells devs is a good sign. Not interested in early access, but it'll be at least 1.0 when it drops for consoles so it's no bother for me.

Why are we rounding down from the bare minimum expectation though. 2.21 players, not counting people who bought it but haven't played it just yet. I pre ordered it, but it wasn't until a week ago when I started playing it for instance.

@LarsVerb my thoughts exactly. Player data and sales don't fully correlate.

In this economy? I doubt it.

@ThroughTheIris56 really unfortunate they didn't do them both ala the Crash and Spyro trilogies. Probably the only chance we had for a good while since the remake wasn't a big seller.

Poor MediEvil 2... you get no love from Sony...

Console players suddenly becoming frame rate elitist this gen is so corny. Yeah it's great we have so many 60fps games now, and even a selection of them targeting 120fps, but refusing to play a game because it runs at 30fps is silly. If the game is good and it pushes the hardware to where it can't be 60, so be it. A high framerate doesn't equate to a quality game. It can make a good game feel better, but there's a lot of crap out there that runs at 60fps too.

I like that Vanillaware typically does a brand new thing each time, barring ports and remakes. If a sequel wouldn't significantly take away from development of another game then I'd be okay with it. The nature of how they make their games means they take a long time to make, but if they can repurpose a lot of the established work done in Unicorn Overlord then it could make for a good side project to bide the time until the next new game.

Looking forward to playing TESVI on PS5 day and date with the Xbox/PC launch.

It's only 4 games guys, I promise!!!! Phil said so!!!

Good luck with that, Dragon Age seems like a mess of development. I think that Cliffhanger could do with a shake up too, if you get me.

The timing on them adding Kakarot is impeccable. I'm sure the additions are planned out a few months in advance at least.

Can Sony convince Capcom to add PS1 RE2 and 3 already? They're conspicuously absent.

@UltimateOtaku91 Why wait 7-8 months though, I'm wondering? Atlus have shown before they're not worried about selling major DLC content day one.

I got used to the design 4 years ago when Remake released.

End of an era in so many ways.

Dragon Quest XII in particular is likely going to be the last of its kind. Not that they won't make any more, but the series has lost 2 of the 3 people that shaped it's identity throughout the years, and will be the last time either of them contributed.

@B0udoir They did not say that, it's exactly as @NotGeno said.

@Tecinthebrain There's another player in the game you may be forgetting here.

Capcom keep doing this, the uncapped framerate thing. RE2 and 3 on PS4 would often dip into the 40s if I recall. Monster Hunter World and Stories 2 were other examples. At least give the option to cap at 30.

People need to read the room. Now would be the worst time for Sony to make an acquisition.

Wake up babe, new Playstation Remaster. What do you mean you still haven't had time to sleep after the last ones?

@nomither6 I would like to see another Crash Bash type game admittedly, but I think the original leaves a lot to be desired and is held up by nostalgia a bit. It's a good concept that could be built on.

Either way I'm happy they're keeping this game alive even if support is being cut. Too common for live service games to just shut down and become impossible to play. Just a shame they made a brawler Crash game and it stopped before they could add Crunch or Tiny (he MAY be in this last update). The original male N. Tropy isn't even in there.

For what it is, I think Rumble is decent. Lacking in content at launch and victim of the Battle Pass FOMO grind, but those issues are largely resolved now. Extra modes and characters (including Spyro crossovers), and you can freely unlock everything from all the passes.

With TfB going indie, it makes you wonder what the future is for Crash and Spyro now. Beenox is the only studio left at Activision that handled these franchises now.

Makes sense if TfB is going indie.

@nomither6 It's better than Crash Bash though.

"The game is 24 years old! What even is there to spoil?" 🤓

Are we forgetting Remake made it very clear that this trilogy is more pseudo sequel than a straight remake, and that things can and will change, events that aren't in the original will be included? Or are we just being smartasses?

@Ravix Sony has a bad habit of being early to the party on these things, then dropping out too soon.

@Anthony_Daniels I'm guessing aside from the 2 upcoming ones officially announced the live service games are all facing the can now.

@StrickenBiged That Fortnite racing mode makes a live service TW a harder sell I'd imagine. £70 for that, or just keep playing Fortnite?

This industry is so cooked.

I didn't know seasons lasted for a single month!

@REALAIS Shopto is class. Don't get my gift cards anywhere else.

@TwoDents Makes sense. Tifa and Aerith are wearing a type of swimsuit popular in Japan, the game is developed in Japan, 1+1=2 and all that. This whole Sweet Baby kerfuffle doesn't really come into it. So the woke mob company is okay with the scene making a point to remind you that Tifa has a massive pair on her chest, but insist that the bikinis have some frilly bits on them? lol

@BeautifulCreatures This is seriously pushing it. What is being censored here?

When you consider Rebirth has a lot more reviews than IX, it's definitely the more acclaimed game even if the score is a point lower. One or two extra reviews for IX would've been enough to have placed it below.

@Czar_Khastik Claptrap really would be the perfect gig for Seagal, he can literally do the whole thing sitting down!

I'm not sure why we should expect publishers to release AAA games for below full price day 1. It's been so long and I was much younger back then, did people react this way when the price shifted from $50 to $60?

@Loamy Yeah, Doom's whole thing is being ported to everything - even things that it shouldn't run on but somehow does. Not just the classic games, but even the new ones with the Switch "miracle ports". Being exclusive kind of goes against Doom's identity.

@UltimateOtaku91 This quote says everything

"We want to make sure that the return makes sense. We want to make sure the audience that’s there has an appetite, maybe they don’t"

If the PS and Switch audiences show Microsoft they are hungry, there will be more. If the sales aren't strong, this will remain an odd experiment.

A lot of people saying she looks like a man. Look, I get she's not the stylised, ideal figure from the classics, but she's definitely not a man here.

It's giving transvestigators who "can always tell" but then get it wrong constantly. Taylor Swift is secretly trans guys trust me!

We're seeing the increasingly inflated AAA production cycle coming to odds with the typical console life cycle. I don't think it's terribly realistic to expect them to wait longer to release new hardware to accommodate this either.

I can believe this. There was a claim that they trailer they showed was cut together last May, which adds up when you look at some clips posted on the official Twitter after the State of Play that looked noticeably more polished than what was shown.

It better be an option, because playing at an average of like 38fps is actually not a good thing at all.

@BeautifulCreatures They'll make a big show about how objectified Lara is wrong, but then pull what they did in the 2013 game and it's attempted r**e scene to make the player want to "protect" her. Also both of their versions of Lara had daddy issues too lol.

Are they actually telling the truth about preserving the original games contents in unaltered form? They had the same warning for Destroy All Humans 2 Reprobed and that was a lie, they did cut out some offensive content.

Worth pointing out since both are published by Embracer.

@Nem Thing is though, Superstars seems to be doing better than Mania was sales wise. Sega announced Mania sold 1 million copies after a year, whereas the sales report mentions LaD Gaiden, Sonic Superstars and P5 Tactica sold a combined 3.6 million last quarter, meaning it's likely sold at least a million already.

It appears to be a sales letdown for Sega because they expected it to sell 3 million like Frontiers did.

@UltimateOtaku91 There won't be because they're doing DLC instead as per Sega mandates.

Pretty easy achievement to be fair, it's one of their first games to release for multiple platforms day one and a simultaneous worldwide launch. The only two games to precede it would be the more contentious releases of Soul Hackers 2 and P5 Tactica.

Still a great achievement though.

Microsoft is totally gonna save TFB from Warzone hell guys! They'll be able to keep making Crash and Spyro games! They can even make Banjo now!

@Kidfried Korean gender politics are fairly nuts, it's not like the west. I wouldn't consider the firing a bad thing.

@DennisReynolds Absolutely. Jim in particular is getting what he wanted during the ABK case.
