Yeah, I guess I'm done with games.

Hopefully the execs at Sony all get fired for being complete b******s.

Yet another studio to add to the Sony kill list. They're getting as bad as EA or Microsoft.

Sony are simply scum now. Just like the other shareholder-run "AAA" 3rd parties that shut down multiple studios because they made one less than perfect game. They've shut down so many studios. Countless jobs lost because some idiot at the top made terrible decisions, and now the workers pay the price. I won't be supporting this company anymore. They do not take care of their employees or customers.

"Forward-Thinking PlayStation Gamer"

That's a funny way to write 'idiot'.

@AndyKazama I hope we're the same. Tend to get the same as Aus.

@AndyKazama Isn't the box art the same in all regions for these new releases? Those are the Australian versions in the picture above. They look the same as the JP boxart on the Bic Camera link.

Come on, Sega! Give Europe a physical PS4 release too!!!

Having an optional disc drive you can swap out is a fantastic idea, but not for £100. Sony's prices are taking full advantage of the customer at every opportunity.

Reads like an ad. How much did Sony pay you?

I wish they'd give Europe a physical PS4 release, like the rest of the world.

Roll up! Roll up! Get your overpriced Remasterstation here!

American censorship has been ruining games for years. We often get the same censored versions in Europe too, even though we'd have no problem with the content here.

I'm very used to playing on a PlayStation or Nintendo controller (I grew up with them), but I always have to think for a second if I'm playing with my Xbox controller on PC.

Most physical copies still work without internet. If a disc requires the internet to function, then don't buy it. It's quite simple. Most Nintendo Switch cartridges read from the cartridge without the need for internet. If it's one of those that requires a download, I just ignore the game. There aren't as many games that are simply digital keys as people think.

Sony really are a scumbag company these days. Increasing the price of literally everything they think they can get away with. No goodwill left at all.

RGG Studio just don't miss. I cannot wait to play this!

If "PCs are difficult to set up" is the best argument you can come up with for people to buy your console, then that's not a good sales pitch.

Sony always won before by offering unique, fun games with an affordable console. But now they've totally lost me this gen. I'd need to spend around £500 just to essentially play PS4 games with better performance. My PS4 was £250. The PS5 is simply not worth double the price.

I guess record profits isn't enough for the scum.

You're starting to sound a bit obsessed, Push Square.

Apart from Astro Bot, Sony simply don't publish games I'm interested in anymore. I'm not buying a PS5 just for Astro, and the 3rd parties are still releasing their games on PS4, so Sony have lost me as a customer, after owning and loving PS1-4. Plus their scumbag practices of closing down their studios and laying off hundreds of employees, whilst recording record profits, hasn't exactly helped them to ingratiate themselves with me.

@cjay_001 That's great to know! Thanks for the info!

Is the 3rd game, releasing this September in Japan, going to be the last game in the current arc? I've held off buying Daybreak so far, because I want to ensure the full arc comes to PS4 first.

Just a small correction to the article. The Wii and Wii U eShops were different. The Wii eShop closed in 2019 and the Wii U eShop closed last year.

I can't believe we've got to a point where changing a disc is too much hassle for some people.

It can't be installed without an internet connection. So I'm not even looking into it.

Phew. No Ape Escape cover, or else I would have had to buy a copy!

@LowDefAl I think you're confusing "subjectively" with "objectively" here. I love the Xbox controller's rolling d-pad. It reminds me of the d-pads on Sega Mega Drive and Saturn controllers. Makes playing something like the original Streets of Rage trilogy (especially 3) much better. The PS4's d-pad is pretty damn great too, mind you. It's just Nintendo's d-pads that are absolutely abysmal right now.

Don't buy anything from T2. They're a greedy, scumbag company who fire employees to maje their shareholders a quick buck, and treat players like utter garbage.

Is the physical version only for Switch?

The poll is too simplistic. It depends on genre, and how skilled I am at it. For example, I know I'd be awful at, and get frustrated by, FtomSoftware games, but I absolutely love Hollow Knight. It's a deliberately difficult game, however I'm much better at 2D Metroidvanias than parrying and blocking in 3D environments. So I can't really answer your poll.

That seems to be Sony's thing this generation. Make lots of hardware, but no software to support it.

I didn't realise this is coming to PS4 too. Thanks for the heads up!

I'll just not buy it.

Not putting it on PS4 is a scummy move, if the Switch can run it.

Sounds like a good thing I was asleep. I appreciate checking the headlines on Push Square though. The Lego Hotizon game looks neat.

I love that poster! The comic strip also doubles as instructions telling the player what buttons to press to play!

Will the teasing for Ape Escape 4 ever endddd?!

@ED_209 Okay, fair. Sony simply aren't making games that interest me anymore, I guess. I loved those more experimental titles.

Aside from Astro Bot, Sony simply aren't making unique, interesting games anymore. They closed down all the studios that did that.

Astro Bot looks great!

...

That's it. So, "poor", I guess.

Finally a great exclusive for PS5! Rescue Mission was wonderful. If I ever get a PS5, this is top of my to buy list.

Yep, firing employees, closing down studios, and jacking up prices will do that. I'm so happy for those shareholders.

A good time to stop buying games, if this is the way things are heading.

@nomither6 It doesn't need to be a substitute for a console, because it is a console. A handheld one, granted. And you're right, without my PS4 I wouldn't enjoy gaming as much on just the Switch. Shame about the current boxes from Sony and Microsoft though.

@nomither6 Exactly. Doesn't compare in what, though? Power? Obviously. I thought the conversation was about sales?

Wow, these are the "sale" prices?

@nomither6 A handheld what? That's right, a handheld console.
