Nei

I got the platinum for Hades, yay! Now playing Crisis Core Reunion to refresh on Final Fantasy VII lore before Rebirth.
Really impressed by the remaster 😯

@darkswabber love love XII, have fun!

Well this demo really convinced me! I will add it to the wishlist and will definitely buy it once it’s on offer. I do want to support it but they really chose a busy time to publish it!

@CWill97 the most similar thing is a “Tails of” game. The production values are higher though!

As expected! Now let me go back to my Peugeot feeling extremely middle class.

I hope you’re all right with these Astobot predictions 🤞🏻😍

I must say that I am pretty mid on this after playing this demo: it’s not bad at all but not as good/different as I imagined. I like the exploration with the chest mini games and the optional challenges but the combat hasn’t totally clicked with me, the graphic is kind of dated (even if the art style is gorgeous) and it is a bit too anime-trope heavy for my personal taste.
I will wait for the reviews and maybe pick it up after Rebirth, Dragon Dogma 2, Persona 3 Reload, Like a Dragon and Unicorn Overlord. Look at that list LOL

This looks so much like my cup of tea but ai am swamped in upcoming games 😮‍💨

Rocked Knight Adventure! I played this on Sega Mega-CD! No wait, this was still a regular cartridge, the Mega Cd tile was Wonderdog!

I am defeated! I will play the demo and if I like it I will play it after Dragon Dogma 2

But I want crazy taxi 🥲

He’s the executive producer of the last few Sonic games (that were cool in my book), seems to have it together. Good luck!

Also, as someone who was pivotal in bringing us both the PS1 and the Dreamcast, he’s so cool that I will forgive him for inflicting Kingdom Hearts on us.

I have never had problems with the current version tbh and when I finally have some time to play I play a lot! Just swap the controller after what it feels like a very long session of gaming (5-6 hours?)

@mariomaster96 yes but the switch pro controller really has nothing on the dual sense 5 experience inho. Not hating on its impressive battery life but Dual Sense is really a game changer when well implemented (and also has a very Nintendo-like whimsical quality) and its features will probably be the standard for all console makers next

Stellar Blade
And a big Astrobot game

I didn’t see this one coming.

I am actually happy they are keeping all this things for the avatars and the game aesthetic is kept in pristine form

Errr…not judging the quality of the game but I am sure this has an audience of about 23 persons on PS 🤔

Hi fi rush could actually sell a few copies

I haven’t played this and probably won’t be anytime soon with everything coming out in the next 2-3 months but it seems logic they are doing it with how successful part 1 and the tv show have been.

Guys championing Nintendo that gave us reworked WiiU titles at full price for a whole generation but think Sony is evil offering a 10€ upgrade path for this…OK 👌🏻

@Savage_Joe 😂 Oh no, the Wii browser! You win the contest. I once tried browsing the web on PS and it’s like making a PowerPoint using your smart phone: you can technically do it but it is probably considered a form of torture in some counties.

^I don’t know, I keep reading this but they already released quite a few first party titles - and we had the pandemic and all - we were just beginning to get some relevant exclusives in the ps4 era at this point.

Third party support is just amazing. And Relink and Rebirth are just around the corner too

@Savage_Joe hahah If I had that thing as the only access to the internet, I swear I would consider not browsing at all 🤨

I look forward to hearing how I could play Spider-Man 2 on my electric car if I was a billionaire

It kinda makes sense, it is not a console seller and is a GREAT game- would definitely buy it on PS5. I am still in shock they let Cuphead be published on Sony systems.

But MS is so shady and unclear about their partnerships I can’t really say anything. Persona 3 still hiding other platforms too 🥴

@Savage_Joe not really my business here, but I had the impression Apple laptops and smart phones were kind of popular

I have to go with Persona 3 FES because it is SO Persona. Love the original 4 and 5 intros as well!

I don’t think I need a demo but maybe it will help me to decide if I play this first or P3 Reload

It may not seem so from the reviews and online comments but Street Fighter 6’s brilliance is underrated. Probably one of the best fighters ever made

The art is wonderful! The fact that this is not using the usual SMT combat makes me look forward to it even more

She will survive the temple of the ancients but will get hit by a bus driven by the whispers in the closing sequence 😜

Complaining we get too many remaster and remakes - complaining if they are actually doing something new, some of you guys are really impossible! 🙈

The direction they are going is ballsy! I didn’t like the final segment of FF7 Remake (the way it was done - especially the big fight with the whispers - was too KH for me) but with Intergrade they really won me over, it seems like the know what they are doing, at least.

Approaching Nintendo eShop level of cringe 😬 but somehow the switch is more suited to this mobile phone kind of games

Open world could be interesting for JSR as the areas from the previous games were pretty big

I have faith in this and Crazy Taxi the most, kinda worried about Golden Axe: it’s one of the titles that made me a gamer and I hope they do it justice (also please Sega publish Golden Axe: the Revenge of Death Adder on new consoles!)

Mmm I can totally understand him but he’s kinda chickening out 😉 and I’m sad we won’t have him for the next (inevitable) Mass Effect game

@Hundred_Hand_Slap That’s amazing! I need to turn on some sport channel in the background from time to time.

@thefourfoldroot1 toss in the DLCs maybe? If you were planning to buy them, so your second playthrough is even more refreshed (I must say I kinda liked my second time with XVI more than the first with more forging and more mini bosses)

@sanderson72 though we have some spammers (not talking about you!) posting this idea ad nauseam in the comment section of this post and others, I don’t think that many: games like Baldur’s Gate 3 and Spider Man 2 and Final Fantasy XVI and expansions like Burning Shores or VR game Call of the Mountain are all ps5 only and driving sales this year…the shiny new games that are selling consoles are ps5 only and they make the console desirable.
It’s continuing early next year with Rise of the Ronin and FFVII Rebirth. Also there was a pandemic and chip shortage and development cycles are getting longer and longer so it is perfectly natural that there have been some cross gen releases from PlayStation Studios (that also provided titles like Astro, Demon’s Souls, Rift Apart and Returnal for ps5 only…)

WoW 60 Hours of side content? That’s meaty (and probably 80-100 hours for me: I feel like I always get at least +10 hours on the time these “estimated time of play” predict)

Impressive, I’d say that now I need release dates for Death Stranding 2 and Stellar Blade but with all that is coming out in the first three months of 2024 I am covered for the full year already

It’s a good character that got somehow overshadowed by Rashid coming out for SF in the same era. I will surely play him a bit, he is fun

I couldn’t disagree more, Kratos is still who he is and he just grew in a very natural and convincing way that actually made him MORE interesting. But I mean he proceeds to force the gates of Valhalla open with his bare hands at the beginning of the new DLC …it’s not like he’s teaching gender studies in Athens.

Finished without noticing any problem TBH

What’s with February? I mean I know the fiscal year ends in March but these Japanese publishers are forgetting we have jobs and families 😅

This is great for the series!
But yeah they did force us to buy P5 2 times and the Xbox branding on the trailers of new Persona releases irks me: it’s not an exclusive and it’s not a brand that built Xbox identity , it’s just identity theft!

Time for a change of heart, Atlus!

@jedinite I wouldn’t say so: these games were heavily nominated and won categories and fared critically and commercially significantly better than the most hyped Xbox esclusive in history, Starfield.

I mean it’s perfectly alright to like a platform but why are you trying to gaslight the comment section? It won’t change reality! Stop caring about sales/popularity and enjoy the games you like 😉

I have downloaded the free version, basically a demo, and it seems good - can’t really say that I am thrilled to buy this after getting all the dlc for the original game…maybe I’ll wait for a sale but yeah it feels like a (good) premium re-release to me.

Yes I have loved every minute of this - easy 10 from me on account of being free and awesome. I am doing a cycle everyday just because now I want all the cosmetic armors

@gaston interesting post but imho pretty out of touch about exclusives. Sony is (and for a good reason) still perceived as the publisher with the best exclusive and just recently Final Fantasy 16 and Spider-Man 2 are really big hitters for different audiences. This kind of games drive sales, no matter how some enlightened Xbox fans try to spin it.

The most anticipated game of 2024? FFVII rebirth, another PlayStation exclusive…

Yoshimitsu looking good! The demo is really enjoyable too, though none of my usual characters is valuable

I just finished the story of Valhallla and wow were we treated to some meaty free dlc here! I will keep playing to get all the trophies and extra story bits

I’m a bit torn in this one, as while it didn’t necessarily end up being my favorite modern FF, I enjoyed 16 and I was surprised of how much I enjoyed playing through the echoes of the fallen dlc…I wouldn’t mind a couple more side stories in Valistea but I’m also curious to find out what’s next for the series.

Very good read and darn, can’t wait to experiment with the game.

I am absolutely loving it and yes, it seems that rare story driven, big budget roguelike experience we had with Returnal (🫶🏻) but fairly easier.

I just got past the first couple of bosses and the story bits are intriguing 🧐

@BIG3 At the end of the PlayStation Wrap up there is a picture of incoming titles and it features Stellar Blade, sooo…
