Mixed opinions on these. I was excited for a Persona Tactics game but I pictured it looking more like FF Tactics with cool sprites. And as @Judal27 says Persona 3 remake looks good but It looks a lot like Persona 5 and will likely reuse the demon models.
Not to sound too debbie downer I'm just hoping Atlus isn't getting complacent
@Dloki it is a big deal. It's the principle. 1. Nobody wants advertisements in their purchased games. 2. They've updated a 4 year old game with an advertisement for the already best-selling game of 2023.
Also, like every scummy practice in gaming you can expect to see more of it if people don't push back.
@Hydra_Spectre I disagree with Illumination being anything other than a mediocre-at-best studio. They make shallow, colourful movies for very young children and the Mario movie didn't change that. A far cry from Pixar quality, even at their worst
I enjoyed the PSP remake a lot, I played it on the Vita a few years ago. As far as I know it's the DS remake but with a bunch of quality-of-life improvements. I highly recommend it.
Will give this version a try one day and see how they differ 😀
It's insane what Media Molecule were able to make on a technical level. But at the end of the day I just wanted to play levels rather than make them, and I think a lot of other people felt the same way
Yeah but, did she receive hate because she's Asian or because her voice acting was bad? I don't know if the comments she received were racist, but if not, this seems like a deflection.
This is actually quite a good little game, I completed it a while back. Some of the trophies were a bit buggy though so if you care about that stuff I'd advise making a few separate saves 👍
@DrGonzo who cares about either of those? Why is everyone obsessed with what wins game of the year?
As for not out-selling Elden Ring, you mean the biggest selling game of 2022 that sold 20 million plus across 5 platforms? Yeah, probably not. But why does that matter?
Game looks awesome but I'm a bit burnt out on the Soulsborne/brutally hard genre. I'm sure I'll love it when I finally get round to it, however right now I'm in a very rare "let's just put this on easy mode" phase 😆
Sony should have taken better care of this launch, even if its a niche title. But at least they've been quick to patch it, unlike Square Enix with Chrono Cross
I think Larian are one of the best developers in the industry right now, they've been quietly making top-tier games for a while. Divinity Original Sin 1 and 2 are the best in the genre in my opinion.
If you're interested in the PS1 classics some of them can be had for cheaper if you buy them on PS3/Vita. Wild Arms 1 is £3.99 on PS3/Vita and £7.99 on PS4, for example
Not a chance I'm buying this at £70 when Monster Hunter Rise launched a month ago at £32.99. I also watched some gameplay and was a bit underwhelmed, it comes across quite low-budget.
I welcome more games in the genre. They don't need to be as good as Monster Hunter to be worthwhile, but I'm not sure on this one
It'd be a mistake not to, especially as this is one of the more requested PS1 games. Excited to play it as we never got the game digitally in EU for whatever reason

Re: There's a New JUMANJI Game Coming to PS5, PS4 This November
The first was one of the worst games I've played in a long long time. I'm actually disappointed to hear it sold so well
Re: Final Monster Hunter Rise Event Will Stream on 7th June
I was waiting for a physical version with Rise + Sunbreak bundled together but it looks like that might be a lost cause at this point 😔
Re: PlayStation Showcase Completely Divided Fan Opinion
It was disappointing but it wasn't the disaster people are claiming it to be
Re: Sony's PS5 Remote Play Handheld Will Have Haptic Feedback, Adaptive Triggers
It's a smart looking device but I just don't want to stream games

I think it looks incredibly underwhelming personally
Re: Japanese Retailers Appear to Know Assassin's Creed Mirage's PS5, PS4 Release Date
I'll be disappointed if there's anything to do with Assassins Creed at Playstation's showcase.
I know people like them but I'm starting to wonder if the franchise might actually outlive me.
Re: Latest PS Store Sale Drops 1,900+ PS5, PS4 Game Prices
@Cutmastavictory Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate is Mortal Kombat 11 with all the DLC. It includes the extra characters and the Aftermath expansion.
Its actually a pretty good deal, its a great game even without the DLC. But can be had for a similar price physical
Re: Clive's Voice Actor in Final Fantasy 16 Thought He Was Going to Get Fired
@OrtadragoonX I can't think of any bad voice actors in FF12. I'd even go as far as saying it's some of the best in the genre.
Re: Mini Review: Monster Menu: The Scavenger’s Cookbook (PS5) - Hardboiled Roguelike SRPG Serves Up a Fun Time
There is talent at NIS, but I wish they'd make fewer games and concentrate on one really good one
Re: Random: Like Clockwork, the Fake PS Showcase Leaks Are Back
@Grimwood if even this fake list doesn't excite you then yeah, you probably will be disappointed...
Re: Rumour: Ghost of Tsushima 2 Not at PlayStation Showcase
My only wish for this show is for one colourful platformer, preferably by Media Molecule

No.
Re: Horizon Vocalist Receives Abuse Over the Use of Her Voice
@KingPev Guys got a real chip on his shoulder about Horizon. He can't write a comment without moaning about it in one way or another
Re: Miles Morales Crosses the Spider-Verse, Winds Up in Fortnite
@KundaliniRising333 what's so lame about it? They're just teasing another character skin
Re: Mortal Kombat 11 PS5, PS4 Fans Can't Believe the Game's Been Filled with Hogwarts Legacy Ads

Re: Final Fantasy 16's PS5 Console Bundle Can Be Pre-Ordered Now
I was interested in this but not gonna bother if it's just a code in a box 😒

Re: Sony Estimates Record-Breaking 25 Million PS5 Shipments in the Coming Year
@Grimwood what's a "promising exclusive masterpiece" in your opinion? 🤨
Re: Horizon Forbidden West's Burning Shores DLC Is Getting Review Bombed on PS5
People have been hating on Horizon for the past year and a half anyway so it's just the same old at this point.
Re: Expect Some Animated Adaptations of PS5, PS4's Biggest Franchises

Re: Blasphemous 2 Fully Revealed, Continues the Cycle on PS5 in Summer 2023
The pixel art looks awesome to me. Also the first game was supported with really good updates. Will definitely keep an eye on this one
Re: PS Plus Premium's LocoRoco Midnight Carnival Getting PS5, PS4 Trophies
Wow they really made no effort with that trophy list. Better than nothing though I suppose
Re: Mini Review: Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster (PS4) - Job System Stars in a Solid RPG

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 472
I'm playing the hot new game everybody is talking about: Breath of Fire 3 on the PS Vita 😅
Re: Soapbox: Final Fantasy 16 Is the Most Excited I've Been for the Series in Almost 20 Years
Not interested in what other people consider a "proper Final Fantasy" or a "proper RPG". Final Fantasy has changed many times over the years.
I think it's going to be really good and I'm looking forward to it 👍
Re: Reaction: Dreams Losing Support Is a Sad End to PS4's Most Unbelievable Project

Re: Rumour: Persona 3 Remake Gameplay 'Leak' Is Going Viral
Might be something to do with that free-to-play mobile game. Wouldn't surprise me if old Persona characters were part of the gacha elements
Re: PS Plus Extra Adds an Unexpected Bonus This Easter Weekend
This is actually quite a good little game, I completed it a while back. Some of the trophies were a bit buggy though so if you care about that stuff I'd advise making a few separate saves 👍

Re: Crash Team Rumble Spins onto PS5, PS4 in June, Closed Beta Coming Next Month
I was hoping for a Crash Bash/Mario Party kind of party game.
This is definitely not for me and any talk of "premium battle pass" is an instant pass regardless

They can spin it all they want the dialogue really is terrible. They also never stop talking.
Re: Wild Hearts Confirms Free Post-Launch Content, No Microtransactions, Can Be Played Offline
Nice, I'm rooting for this game. I love Monster Hunter but there's definitely room for more in the genre
Re: PS5 Fans Speculate Uncharted Tease in New Ad Campaign from Sony
Tomb Raider is a mixed bag these days so I think a new Uncharted with Drake's daughter would be pretty cool
