Maybe I'm mis-remembering, but I thought DOA6 was trying to get away from this image so that it could be taken more seriously as a fighting game?

@Kiloman74 Trust me, I would LOVEEEE to be able to play my PS3 library on PS5, but from a tech prospective, I don't see how they'd emulate that cell architecture without adding an actual cell chip somewhere. Even high end PCs still can hardly run PS3 games via emulator. It's certainly possible Sony has some secret sauce to do it, but I'm skeptical. I mean just look at how terrible the PS1 classic was.

PS1 and PS2 are a lot easier to emulate due to a much more similar architecture. There's nothing remotely close to PS3 when it comes to actual hardware design. Even with the vastly superior processing power of a PS4 Pro, it's difficult to simulate the instruction sets of cell and costs a lot of overhead.

This is actually very topical with ARM and x86 architecture right now with mobile devices. Trying to get x86 applications to run on ARM requires either hours of optimization (re-writing applications in some situations) or a lot of overhead to convert from one to the other.

I couldn't imagine it being able to run PS3 games, but that would sure be cool!

My guess is we'll get a game from a series that has a Q1 sequel/prequel release this year (The Division, DevilMayCry4, Resident Evil 6, etc)

Remember EDF's pride!

@stevenfins I would guess we will start seeing more games implement KB/mouse controls in the coming future. Both major consoles now support it, so it's just a matter of devs utilizing it. The native kb/mouse drivers for PS4 are pretty poor in my experience (FFXIV, lots of input delay and the mouse appears to be a vitalized mouse, not really 'native').

Thank you for the write up! I never played one of these games, but the idea of playing in VR just seems all too tempting. I'm glad to hear about free flight mode too!

@get2sammyb Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Hey look, I'm in that first/last screenshot! (technically, that's from my wife, she plays on normal/hard)

I hate that song. It plays well, but I just don't like the flow of it all. Hard is ok, but on expert it feels messy. I'm all about Escape and Angel Voices.

Oh my gosh YES! These are the only games I still play on my PC from time to time. I always loved Serious Sam games but still haven't finished 3. I can't wait

I'd agree with Sony. The PS4 Pro was a great revision for those looking for a little extra. It didn't degrade the platform, only add to it. When you're trying to push a platform to last this long, it does make sense to do a mid generation update.

That said, I'd dare say I rather it be modular maybe. Not full gung ho PC gaming style, but it would be nice to be able to upgrade the CPU/GPU near mid generation without replacing the whole system. I wouldn't want to see a bunch of different SKU though... keep it simple like PS4 vs PS4 Pro. Two 'platforms' to manage/maintain.

Easily my favorite PSVR game ever. Addictive and insane fun. I only wish it had more songs.....

Beat Saber <3 (fluff text because I guess there's a minimum character limit now)

It's crazy how PS5 is going to double as a panini press

I really hope 4k sticks around for a while rather than trying to push this silly '8k' idea. Some people already can't see the benefits of 1080 to 4k. Even fewer will see the difference between 4k and 8k. I'm worried it's 'buzzwordy' nature will make that the target on new displays rather than focusing on improving current technologies like HDR improvements and higher refresh rates with freesync.

I was never too impressed with the actual gameplay of these games, but DANG is everything else about them just amazing.

That said, I'm not sure I can go back to any rhythm game after Beat Saber...

Thank you SEGA, very cool!

I don't really see this appeasing anyone. I mean... look at the rest of that game and tell me if anyone will feel better now that you can't see a little underwear or.... soften some boobies (wth is this even)?

Seems like this will just upset both sides.

The release cycle was enough for me to take a hard pass on this one. I'll wait for it to be $8.99 in a few months. Also, I miss 'modern' Battlefield. I never liked old timey weapons or settings. aka, BF4 still best BF

That's a pretty bad way to put it. There's no industry standard for most things in gaming....

Just because it wasn't in the dev plan or budget doesn't mean it should be brushed under the rug as "a strange request'. Just admit it wasn't part of the project and that you'll consider it for future projects and move on.

That engine struggles with one player... I'm not sure how anyone was surprised at this. I'm sure even the devs knew it would be a pile of hot garbage, but I'm sure these decisions were above them.

so if I already planned to spend $1,001 in the PSN (I wanted to be good at Destiny 2), I guess I might as well just get this PS4 bundle huh

........I just want a DS4 with paddles at a reasonable price..... $200 for a controller is insane. You can get a PS4 for less

As a gamer, the PlayStation platform feels better than ever to me. I don't really need to see the same 60 minute presentation showing 90% of games I already know about.

Times are just changing for news delivery in my opinion. All 3 platforms have had really weak 'conferences' this year. It's hard to shock and surprise when everything is announced immediately.

Man I hope they add PSVR support. I'm not sure I'd want to play this without VR.

I have two complaints so far:
1. There's something about the framerate or motion blur that makes panning the camera feel really awful to me. It feels like the game is running in slow motion sometimes (could be an unstable framerate)
2. You can't remap controls. It's minor, but unless you use retro controls and move the camera with L1 and R1, jumping puzzles are a pain because you can't move the camera and jump at the same time. Normally, I'd map jump to L1 in games with a floating camera (or first person)

Game looks great otherwise. They did a fantastic job with the art work and animations. I'm very happy with this one.

I really like this game, but I really wish the interface was snappier. I also don't know how I feel about the $16 price tag considering how little content was actually added ( and how unclear the whole add on is).

I'm pretty close to my plat though. Basically just have those stupid/annoying mini game trophies left.

Wow 9%? That's kinda nuts. I grew up around Chicago and love that city but dang....

Neat! I've been using the REZ one for the last year or two because the music/visuals are so good. This will probably replace it

I feel like I'm the only one with a quiet launch edition PS4 Pro... I've only heard it a few times when on the map of HZD ( where the framerate gets unlocked for some reason). I hear some people referring it to a jet, but the last time I've heard a console sound like a jet was my brothers early model Xbox 360. I heard that thing through headphones.

Monster Hunter World.

@naruball trophies are just part of a game. Im saying that calling video game trophies pointless is a slippery slope. Video games are for enjoyment and many people find enjoyment in trophies. same with multiplayer, crafting, leveling up, grinding, leaderboards, etc.

Just because I don't like leaderboards doesn't mean I think they are pointless and have no value.

@kyleforrester87 at least with digital, I can bench press ALL my games forever. Infinity gainz

@Tsurii If SOMETHING adds enjoyment to a groups of players, surely it has value to those players.

Trophies are entertainment as well. Dig deep enough and you can invalidate the entire video game/movie industry with that mindset.

GAMES OR MOVIES DON'T MAKE MY MUSCLES BIGGER OR MY BELLY MORE FULL SO THEY ARE POINTLESS AND HAVE NO VALUE

Character showcase - half the video was her getting beat up!

She was my fav in 5+. I always felt cheap using her though cause she seemed OP (note: not actually sure if OP, never played competitively)

I'm waiting to see if they 'fix' the controls. You can have the best car in the world, but if your tires suck, your car isn't that great.

This is the only inFAMOUS I didn't 100%. I'll probably boot up the ol' PS4 and give it a go again.

I would absolutely NEVER pay extra for the sole reason of playing early. Not even for a new EDF or Monster Hunter game.

If anything, I"m far less likely to buy a special version of game if it offers an early release. This is a stupid practice.

Look at it this way, you're either paying extra to beta test or the dev is purposely being anti-consumer and holding their game longer than needed.

I didn't really care too much for them. I bought into the hype and played through the original Walking Dead one, but didn't find it nearly as compelling as most reviews indicated. I assumed it was because I don't care for the walking dead.

The Game of Thrones one was a bit better, but I still felt like I was playing it just to finish it.

The stories aren't deep enough to keep me to care and the gameplay/decisions aren't nearly good enough to keep me entertained.

This was one of the first few games I played on PS3. It felt super next gen at that time. It needed a bit more polish imo (controls felt a little wonky), but it was extremely fun.

It wasn't MAG fun though

Ouch.

Truth be told though, I'm still not even 10% through last months games. They should have saved GOW3 for this month or something.

Until they improve PS3 streaming performance (since we can't download), I just can't pay/recommend it.

I found far too many games unplayable due to the unreasonable latency (server side latency, not client)

Vocals and mix ruin it for me. Vocals are way too loud in the mix and that draws out all the shortcomings of his singing. A more balanced mix would have gone a long way imo.

Song still sucks tho

I get it's a bit more for collectors, but only 20 games and no digital controls for $100? It seems a little steep.

Stings a tad seeing this released before PS1 classic support on PS4 too.

This was a really interesting game back on PS3. I didn't finish it, but I helped my friend get his plat on it. If the price is right, I'll pick this up while I wait for more Monster Hunter stuff.

EDF! EDF! EDF! Hoping for the EDF5 NA release date announcement too (even if it's TGS)

I never finished it, but I did really enjoy the setting/music of this one. I'd certainly give it another go

I'm looking forward to it. I bet I'm too spoiled from actual MH, but should still be good. I always liked the story/setting behind these games.

I don't remember anything about this game, but I remember playing coop with my friend and our GBA. I thought it was the coolest thing ever.

Hopefully they do the same with Vita (there's not a chance they will).

@Derpie1 Yeah, I wouldn't expect Narga until they release the Tigrex since they'll share a frame. IT WOULD STILL BE COOL THOUGH
