I can still get into matches in any of the game modes pretty quickly, so there's still a decent number of players. How many? Is it enough? I dunno, but it's no wasteland yet.

I recently managed to download an archive of every issue of the official UK PS2 magazine. Very nostalgic to go back and read the issues I remembered owning, and checking out the ones I didn't own. Just wish I has the physical set.

This looks cool though, I may have to check it out.

@Ludacritz To be fair, it seems like Resident Evil does well releasing all their games in Q1 now.

@MagisterMagi He definitely didn't say he was assuming.

@Dragon83 Death's Door is great, and the servers for Dreams won't close in October, they just aren't updating the game anymore.

Golf game is whatever, good if you like the sport and you don't already own it, but not of interest to many others. I wouldn't call it a terrible game, it's probably well made, just doesn't have wide appeal.

Imagine a King Kong x Spider-Man game.
The headline made me think of that.

@UltimateOtaku91 Personally I'd put money on an acquisition not happening. Sega Sammy's already said they're not interesting in selling. These Game Pass and marketing deals look like a consolation. I'm not sure how making Atlus games multiplatform is shafting anybody.

@Olmaz I would assume this is a situation unique to fighting games, they tend to rely on framerate consistency more than most genres. There may be some stray examples in other games though.

The poor people blocker

Not really missing anything by not including Portable's female MC, that's why they ported that version to modern platforms. Pretty much everything from FES that isn't The Answer is included, plus the confirmation of brand new events unique to this version.

The Answer is divisive for it's dull gameplay and questionable story choices, and they even avoided adapting it for the series of Persona 3 animated movies. But we may get a new epilogue as DLC.

I can understand this not having everything from every version of P3 plus new stuff on top, because it's a remake of a near 20 year old game with a runtime of 80 hours for it's base version, let alone Answer's extra 30 and the entire second campaign from Portable. You'd be looking at a doubling of development resources for an already large project. Focus on the core that people like the most, then maybe add more later.

@DennisReynolds The fact that this guy was making physical contact with Geoff is a huge problem. He is so lucky it was just a guy being stupid looking for attention.

@Grumblevolcano Gears? Missing? Gears 5 and Tactics came out only a few years ago, and there's no doubt the Coalition is working on a 6th game for Series X.

Didn't we already know this?

@vrubayka They're ports. They've made a handful of changes fixing minor glitches from the HD Collection release, switching out some of the stock footage with similar clips because they couldn't relicense the originals because some of the companies don't exist anymore, etc.

And the Switch just doesn't have the guts to run emulation of 360/PS3 games, regardless of it's lower framerate.

This might be Lance Reddick's final acting gig, he's playing Hellboy.

Might get the Pulse Elite and the Portal.

@vrubayka 1080p is fine for PS2 games, more than fine actually - it's way higher than they were designed to be seen at. Would 2160p be better? Yeah, of course but it's not a night and day difference in visual quality. I can load up any PS2 game on PCSX2 and it looks a bit sharper, like applying a high level of anti-aliasing, as opposed to medium on 1080p. Not exactly a dealbreaker.

I'd even say the difference in quality between 1080p and 2160p for PS2 games is smaller than the difference between 720p and 1080p, and especially between 448p and 720p. Diminishing returns, innit?

Becoming a huge problem for this site.

The more realistic art direction was definitely a mistake, especially if it was a key factor in it's cancellation. The first game looked fantastic as it was.

Shame that we won't get this, but know of at least 3 Assassin's Creed games in development (NOT including Mirage).

@adit365 That probably isn't coming out either.

Nitroid on Twitter has 1080p footage from Konami

Damn I kinda don't care.

@Grumblevolcano Plus Gravity Rush and apparently maybe Wipeout too. Give it time and we'll be seeing Sony Pictures Animation pumping out Ape Escape, Parappa the Rapper and MediEvil films.

This sounds like a total ***** post. Sony Pictures moment.

The more pressing issue that needs fixing (and likely will never come) is the broken online. If anyone in the party is playing on PS5 and a person skips the track intro sequence, the race will never start, and there's a 50/50 chance someone will be impatient and skip it. It's bad enough having a low player count.

In terms of content, this sounds pretty standard for Saints Row DLC. I remember the add ons for the previous games being a couple of hours at best each. Of course, nowadays the expectation from people is to get something more substantial from DLC, especially for the type of price they're charging for the pass.

@MagisterMagi It's PS4 Pro enhanced, so it'll be higher than 1080 on PS5 anyway. The trailer is 2160p, did you even bother to check that?

60fps would be nice, but I also don't care if it has to be 30 for technical reasons (RDR code is supposedly messy). Sometimes giving old games that ran at 30 before an unlocked framerate causes problems.

@MagisterMagi what, you think this is going to run at 720P? Good joke.

"Not a remake or remaster"

Good. A faithful port is all it needed.

Some might say it's "giving Danganronpa"

I'm guessing most of the gameplay will be walking to places, as in Skywalker Saga then.

(side note, TT probably isn't making the footy game, 2K has it's own Lego license, the racing game was by Visual Concepts)

Here's the combined numbers for the major RE games, based on Capcom's data, if anyone is interested.

RESIDENT EVIL 1 - 5.08
RESIDENT EVIL 2 - 4.96
RESIDENT EVIL 3 - 3.50
RESIDENT EVIL CODE VERONICA - 2.54
RESIDENT EVIL 1 REMAKE - 5.25
RESIDENT EVIL 0 - 5.05
RESIDENT EVIL 4 - 12.80
RESIDENT EVIL 5 - 13.90
RESIDENT EVIL REVELATIONS - 3.80
RESIDENT EVIL 6 - 11.10
RESIDENT EVIL REVELATIONS 2 - 4.60
RESIDENT EVIL 7 BIOHAZARD - 12.40
RESIDENT EVIL 2 REMAKE - 12.60
RESIDENT EVIL 3 REMAKE - 7.60
RESIDENT EVIL 8 VILLAGE - 8.30
RESIDENT EVIL 4 REMAKE - 4.90

RE2 Remake still has a little way to go before it really becomes the highest selling entry.

Once all the updates are finished I'll check it out on a sale

@Wakozako 140% overthinking this. As several others have explained, black humour is used in place of black comedy (does it REALLY matter whether Sammy used humour or comedy, they mean the same thing), and it's probably meant to double as a reference to Twisted Metal Black, cause you know... it's a Twisted Metal TV show? You had to reach so hard for this racism angle I'm inclined to think you're just ragebaiting/trolling.

Persona fans won't use this. They don't even shower.

The Ratchet baiting wasn't really needed.

Well, now that's a whole lot of removed comments.

@UltimateOtaku91 The C in CRPG is taken by Computer. Maybe MRPG, or MandoRPG, for Mandarin - CantoRPG for games from Cantonese speaking regions?

I'm guessing it's either Resistance or a new IP, and they'll get started on a new Ratchet and Clank after finishing either Spider-Man 2 or Wolverine.

@Bez87 VERY important detail not mentioned in the article at all.

"Definitive Edition"
Play the originals on PC 👍

@HotGoomba @Constable_What Yeah it's a little embarrassing seeing people defend Sony's policy by putting down well received games like this.

You don't see Sony doing this with the big publishers either, it's basically bullying smaller teams. Or their own studios. I'm sure if Neil wanted to put a depiction of underage alcohol or cigarette consumption in TLOU Part 3, or any other taboo subject matter, he'd get it.

"This new one's led by Sledgehammer with support from Infinity Ward, Raven, and others"

Funny, this will be the second time that Modern Warfare 3 will be primarily developed by Sledgehammer after the first two were Infinity Ward joints.

@LifeGirl User reviews are famously reliable and have never been exploited for any agendas.

I dunno it sounds like a good idea to me, Part 2 is currently kind of inferior on a technical level to Part 1 based on the Digital Foundry coverage. Give it the Director's Cut treatment, $10 upgrade for current owners, plus a shiny new PC port for the people who just got in with Part 1 this year. Wouldn't be a terrible amount of work for Naughty Dog (some will still complain about it taking time from new games as with every re-release).

New marketing tactic: say your highly anticipated game won't have DLC, then announce DLC plans when it inevitably sells well.

Hogwarts Legacy, FF16, who's next?

I wonder if we'll get options to use the European voice overs

@mikeawmids Konami do good work when it comes to releasing their back catalogue. A Vandal Hearts collection would be pretty cool.

@Cashews I think @Constable_What named a few

Most people leaving Twitter will probably be back after a while. Remember those other "exoduses" to different platforms? Mastodon? Minds? Gab?

Doesn't sound right. That Daryl guy sounded more fitting, though like many others I'll be sticking to the Japanese VA.

I'm going to use this comment section to say that people who claim that FF16 (or any other) isn't a true Final Fantasy game because of the combat are missing the forest for the trees. Final Fantasy has been reinventing itself in various ways every time since the second entry. There are many classic hallmarks that still persist from game to game though, and 16 has many of those. The story and characters are FF as hell, you have the chocobos, moogles, summons, etc. The spirit of FF is there from what little I've played, and from what I've heard, it gets very FFIV later.

As for the turn based side of the equation... only FFI, II, and III can truly qualify as turn based if we're being picky about things. Maybe X?
