@Porco I'm not talking about price but i'm talking about the function: a re-release for anyone who doesn't own the game or any fans who wants to double dipping because big chance this edition will have some exclusives goodies.

@Chupa_loyzer I don't know what's exactly that sounds horrible for you but not for me.

Suikoden 1 & 2 HD got my vote

I only got 4 or 5 games on my wishlist. I can't imagine someone had over 100+ on their wishlist.

Could be this is a hint for Akira, Batsu, or anyone from Rival School included as DLC season 3?

@Truegamer79 "nothing but delivering packages and looking ridiculous while doing it"

Delivering packages while:

• Traversing dangerous terrains
• Avoiding / fighting supernatural creatures and other human group who wants to steal the packages
• Build roads, highway, bridges, shelter, postbox, safehouse etc that can be used for yourself and other players
• Crafting new tech and weapons from power suit that can reduces the packages weight and give more speed, rifles & grenades, delivery bots, floating carrier etc which is really helpful

Oh you can also drive motorcycle or cargo truck to deliver the packages.

@Porco This re-release / reprint isn't new practice for Sony because it's been there since PS1 era with "Greatest Hits" or the PS4 rebrand "Playstation Hits" label.

They also did Greatest Hits special edition that includes CD soundtrack, some goodies, bug fixes etc. And actually enough people bought this re-release or the special edition which is the reason why Sony keeps doing it for decades.

Clearly this re-release isn't aim at people like you or the ones who already own the game and don't have any intention to double dip.

Nice to see Astro Bot at 3rd place. The game has long legs.

I guess DoAX3 is a better game than this one.

I'm curious why devs / pubs used players numbers and not sales numbers. Is it because their games released for subscription service?

But i'm happy for Kojima and Death Stranding deserved the success.

I've only played the first game on PS2 and it's pretty fun. And i remember both games got PS2 Classic port on PS3, which i think around 9-10 bucks on PS3 US store.

Probably just a bundle of Part 1 remake + Part 2 remaster with a bunch of some bonus like steelcase and stuff.

But i'm not sure why the hate comments. Feels like some of you guys never like TloU and needs to move on from this franchise.

It looks like a fun game but this is the 1st time i heard about this game.

The ads looks cool but if only back then Sony put the same effort to promote Puppeteer, Wild Arms, Soul Sacrifice, Patapon, Jeanne D'Arc, Folklore, and many games from Japan Studios that doesn't get proper marketing.

I'm not gonna judge what people do with their money. But this seems...too obsessive. But hey, more power to that guy 🫡

20 hours is longer than all previous games. But i hope Capcom still maintain high replay value with rewards from speedrun, higher diificulty, and especially Dark Realm arena.

And i hope they still give some references about characters from previous games...

@naruball My guess is only 1% from those 75% who will buy. The rest are just parotting what others said but they actually never vote with their money.

Man, 25 years. Times really flies huh?

I still remember playing this game on PS1 and the main ost, Melodies of Life, was beautiful which i still remember the lyrics and tune to this day. And while it's not my fav FF but it still a very solid FF to play or a start point for a newcomer.

Cool. More resources for Capcom to do Dino Crisis remake, new Breath of Fire, Viewtiful Joe remaster, or...Mega Man Legends 3?!

From a parent pov, Joel is right. But from Fireflies pov, Joel is wrong and they're right.

So for me, there's no wrong answer here. Joel had a strong reason and it's very understandable.

Fireflies also not wrong. Human is a social creature who thrives in social group / communal. But the virus destroyed the society and Fireflies wants to rebuild it again by finding a cure.

@tameshiyaku Meiji era is one of the most overused era in video games, manga, and anime. So i hope Sucker Punch keep the 1200-1600 setting if they make another Ghost game.

@Jorogumo Sony already made plenty of hidden gems and as you can see those games doesn't sell to the point Sony just licensed the IP's out to Bandai Namco for remaster.

But before you pointed the finger to Sony, did you even bought their hidden gems? If not then you don't have any right to complaint about Sony had a collab with Chinese devs.

"even new weapons for Atsu to master, including ōdachi, kusarigama, and dual katanas,”

Kusarigama and dual katana are hype 🤩

@DadJKP Doesn't look like he's try to being funny here. And his comment history showed plenty of comments removed by moderator.

@Magatsuhi You're spewing a lot of nonsense here.

The guy doesn't give credits to Shuhei Yoshida?

Wait, Netflix has games?! This is the first time i heard about this lol.

I bought Vasara Collection from PSN Spring Sale and i had a blast with it. Definitely some of the best shmups i ever played. Here's the trailer from Playstation channel if anyone interested to check out.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kal5jXHfvu0&pp=ygURdmFzYXJhIGNvbGxlY3Rpb27SBwkJYgAGCjn09Vw%3D

I also played Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves second beta. Sadly Ronaldo isn't playable lol but training mode is available and i got better & faster matchmaking compare to the 1st beta. I played ranked match from Rookie-5 and right now i'm at C-1 with my boy Rock Howard. I really like CotW gameplay and i'm considering on buying the game, but maybe not on day 1.

Have a nice weekend everyone 🍻

@MrPeanutbutterz We're the same man. My Ed at Master and when i got 10 win streak suddenly next matches i got 10-12 lost streak. It's keeps going on for 2-3 hours and i like okay it's time to call it a day or i will get mad and bald lol.

Currently Mai, Bison, Kim, and Cammy are my kryptonite. But Rashid also still hard to fight and weirdly i didn't face many Rashid players these days.

@nomither6 If you don't mind, i have two reccomendation for you, which i also apply to myself.

1. Don't be too hard on yourself when you lost and made mistakes. Like dropping combo, wrong button input, or made wrong guess is normal in fighting games.

I mean, it's okay to have skill issues. Even the best players are not perfect and losing and make mistakes is part of the journey of getting better and why fighting games is fun.

But if you reach the point of "Ey, F* this game!" or "This game is trash!" after you got losing streak and you think you stop improving then it's time to cool down your nerve and take a little break. Don't follow youtubers like LTG or DSP who got malding after they lost and keeps trashing the game. You will not get better results when you let anger controlling you and blame the game for your lost.

After you got cool down, don't go straight to ranked match or playing against other players. But watch your replay matches and analyzed what's wrong and what you did right. You can also watch other players match and see what they did to solve the situations where you had problems with.

2. Reasses the main reason why you're playing fighting games.

It's okay if you're a "filthy casual" who only wants to have fun but kinda good at SF 6, Tekken 8, MK 1 etc.

But there's nothing wrong if you want to be a high level competitive player either, although the journey is a lot harder compare to casual player.

Decide which one is your first priority so you get the right amount of mental pressure. I mean, if you don't have any intention to become a pro player and reach top 8 / win big tourneys like EVO, TWT, or Capcom Cup then you don't need to grind extensively for 6-8 hours a day like pro players.

Anyway, i'm very sorry for my rant and if i'm too preachy 🙏🙏

I got burned out after finished Cold Steel 3. So i skip Cold Steel 4, Into Reverie, Zero, Azure, and Daybreak 1 & 2. That's 6 games and not counting spin off like Nayuta and Trails in the Sky 1 remake which i will skip it too.

And i feel glad that i don't play this series anymore. Less backlog, no more confusing story / world building / lore, no more asking "who's this character again?", and no more waiting between release.

But hey, i give salute to Trails fans who still loyal and closely follow the series 🫡. I hope Beyond the Horizon, which i read is the final chapter of Trails series, will satisfy you guys with a nice ultimate ending ...

@MrPeanutbutterz Taking a break from fighting games is a must especially if you played it quite often. Sometimes you got losing streak and feels really angry to the point you blame or hate the game. It happened to me and i bet happened with many people. So playing other games to cool off or calm down your nerve is the right decision.

And yeah, i agreed that Capcom did a great job with all SF 6 characters. They really improved a lot compare to SF 5 days where some characters felt unfinished.

@nomither6 I don't know what Drive mechanic that you always accidentally activated. But my guess is you didn't practice and played enough to let your muscle memory adapt to SF 6 hitbox / hurtbox, frame, button inputs, & mechanics.

That's why you always accidentally activated Drive Rush, Drive Impact, or Drive Parry because you played SF 6 with SF 4 in your mind. But you gave up playing before your muscle memory get used to the changes.

My other guess is your button map. You probably map Drive Impact or Drive Parry into one button from the default input HP+HK or MP+MK. You always ready your fingers to that button and accidentally press them when you got pressure. It happened to me and the reason why i used default button input for Drive mechanics.

And yes, SF 6 is easier / more friendly to play compare to previous SF. But the mental stack is a lot higher than before. Now, you must carefully manage your Drive gauge because when it's empty you will get Burnout and can't used EX moves + prone to chip damage, chip kill, infinite loop attack, and stun.

On top of that, there's:

• Drive Rush for skip neutral, mind games, and combos extension
• Drive Impact that can give Punish Counter + wall splat.
• Drive Parry / Perfect Parry that punish you if you're too predictable with your attack pattern.
• Drive Reversal for "get off me" option or you can used it to keep the opponent when they got corner. But if your Drive Reversal got block, you will get punished.
• The corner is very dangerous because every character has good corner carry combos and throw loop.
• Punish Counter which offers big damage from one whiff punish.
• Unlike SF 3 and 4 but more similar to SF Alpha, SF 6 has three Supers + Critical Art all available on your deck and they offers a lot of offensive (and defensive) options.

All these mechanics added a lot of mental stack compare to previous SF.

@Magatsuhi Offended because of what, that he flawlessly used a Shakuhachi flute?

And that white guy, Cornelius Boots, is a master when comes to Shakuhachi flute.

@DadJKP There's no "this is just the beginning" from both ending. Both ending pretty much closed Jin character development because he resolved to protect the island with any way necessary, even if the method doesn't fit with samurai code and cross way with the shogun.

And Iki Island DLC ending even gave a final confirmation that Jin story arc is complete. He found the person who killed his father but he forgave them and understand his father faults.

As for changing from Jin into Atsu just for "diversity sake" and Sony Japan isn't pleased, sorry to say this but i think you eat too much BS from those grifters. You don't even know Atsu character and how her story gonna play.

No choice for "it's okay"?

From the 12 games, only Robocop and TMNT that appeals to me and i already own TMNT. So i voted "meh". But i think last year was pretty good...

@MrPeanutbutterz Nice. I got more than 1000+ hours in SF 6 and i'm also still actively playing it. And with the incoming Elena and season 3 major balance patch, i'm definitely gonna playing a lot of SF 6.

@nomither6 Because unlike T8 Heat system, SF 6 Drive system has pretty solid balance all around. Sure the system is not flawless and a little balance here and there could make it more solid. But people who thinks Drive system needs a big overhaul are people who can't properly manage their Drive gauge and thinks just spam Drive Rush and you will win the match lol.

I'm curious if Japanese gamers gonna buy Yotei just like they did with Tsushima...

Not a fans of Zelda so I don't have any expectation for this movie.

But. I'm curious with the re-reboot of RE movie.

Lol Mihoyo be like "So you don't want this job? Alright, we're searching for a new VA. Thank you and good bye" 🤣

I played and enjoyed a lot of RPG since PS1 era. But lately, this is possibly because i reach 40 + i grew up with arcadey games, after almost 3 decades of playing RPG i feel like i had enough of grinding levels, looking & comparing stats, manage item / equipment / skills, decide which character that i must put in my party, and check list all the side quest. Playing RPG feels more like doing a job than playing a video game.

It's the biggest reason why lately i prefer games like shmup, beat em up, TPS, fighting, or character action games. These game feels a lot more straightforward and i don't feel like i'm wasting my time with them.

I'm guessing August-September

This game looks fun. But i heard it doesn't have rollback netcode so yeah this is a skip for me. I don't want to stuck playing against CPU over and over.

@UltimateOtaku91 "And which of Sony's teams would you want spending their time remastering these games?"

There's Nixes, Bluepoint, and every month Sony can port multiple PS1 & PS2 games for PS4+5 by their own. So i'm sure Sony have enough resources to remaster these games. It's not like Sony is a small company lol.

"these games will struggle to reach a million sales and that's with them being multiplatform"

It will struggle to reach a million if Sony didn't properly advertised them.

"otherwise it's not worth the time, money and effort for Sony to do themselves"

Thanks for reminding me that the current Sony doesn't care that much when comes to their classic niche IP's. For them either AAA and live service games or gtfo 😔

X-Men arcade + Captain America and The Avengers vibe. It looks fun too.

Dotemu, keep em coming 🤩

It's just sad and ironic how Totoki claim that Sony "lack of original IP's". But now they're too lazy to remaster their original-unique IP like Freedom Wars, Everybody's Golf, and Patapon to the point they licensed them and made it as a multiplatform.

And i don't know who's idea is this, either Hermen, Nishino, Totoki, or maybe all of them.

Fans who's angry or confused needs to understand that SNK needs City of the Wolves to sell well.

Fatal Fury franchise is niche af and doesn't have brand power and recognition like SF, Tekken, or MK. Not to mention the last game in the series, Mark of the Wolves, was released almost 25 years ago. In that time period, Fatal Fury franchise is pretty much dead and forgotten by many people. I doubt there's many young gamers this days who knows Fatal Fury franchise. Heck, i doubt kids or people who played Terry in Smash Bros knows what franchise he's coming from.

So if SNK wants City of the Wolves to sell well, they can't rely solely on the small Fatal Fury fanbase. They needs to do something drastic to make people outside Fatal Fury community aware of the new game and also attract them to buy / play the game. Ronaldo, Terry and Mai as guest character in SF 6, and Ken and Chun Li as guest character in this game is a necessary.

If City of the Wolves failed to sell well then don't expect Fatal Fury will receive another game.

From Schrier "insider" report, it seems like the game is still in Alpha stage and far from finish. But from Neil words, it feels like they already far in development and at Beta stage. I take Neil words since he's the director of the game over "journalist" like Jason Schrier.

@Glorioso Yes they did.

Feels like the TV series will outpace the game and i don't have problem with that.

And I can see Druckman, ND, and Sony are tired from all TloU 2 discourse. They're tired with all the hate and death threat messages, the whining from people who thinks the story should be this Joel should be that etc etc. So they like let's focus to complete the Tv series and when it's finished they will closed the book for TloU and then moved on to Intergalactic.
