Re: Like a Dragon Gaiden's Controversial English Dub Is Selectable on PS5, PS4 Now

Didn't hear his works myself yet, but if it's that bad then it's more the fault of the director of the project. The director approved of the work and claimed as good for the project. Same with movies, if the acting is bad there's one person that said it was great.

That said I believe studios should really invest in great voice talent and don't underestimate it's effect. The quality is fantastic on the big titles these days.

Re: The Last of Us 2 PS5 Remaster Announced, Has a Brand New Survival Mode, $10 Upgrade Path

@DennisReynolds @OrtadragoonX I agree completely. It would have been much better to start with Abby. Now she was the big bad straight from the start. It would have made the point where they were aiming for much better, that both are good and bad. I do recommend a second playthrough for everyone, I for one enjoyed the story the second time I played through it a lot more.

I can't wait for this version, I am most interested in the new survival mode. It looks like a mercaneries type of mode, maybe it's a test to see if it would work for a multiplayer mode.

@GamingFan4Lyf I don't think anyone defends Sony on this, but it does seem that only Sony is being bashed on it. This is the first gen that upgrade prices were being done. There were alot of remasters of old PS2 games on PS3, nobody complained. There were alot of PS3/360 remasters on the PS4, nobody complained. I know the prices were cheaper, but so was everything unfortunately. In other words if Sony didn't do backwards compatibility and cross gen, this would not be a issue.

Other developers do the same with older games and most of the time put less effort in it. Switch first party lineup excists for the biggest part of Wii u ports. Xbox gives free upgrades but most likely to promote game pass. I do agree this should not be full price, I think 40 is a great price, if there is no extra content.

So much negativity over a remaster release that no-one forces you to buy, and it's not even known if it will have extra content or not. It just gets a release because a PC port is coming and to fill a gap in between newer games that will be released in 2024. It's time Sony just announced all the games they are working on so some can start complaining the games are announced to soon, because they don't release within a month.

@AhmadSumadi yes they could have put the money in their playstation division or in the film studios they own instead in a video streaming service expansion. Video streaming is a already to crowded space. And it's not like it's that much of a great business improvement that brings alot of money. Disney, hbo and Netflix are more losing money with it then earning.
