Disney being relaxed about the exclusivity in that recent interview would certainly start to make more sense. Hopefully means Blade would come across too
I have it - it arrived today. But not playing yet. Playing Yakuza / Like a Dragon first, then will be playing Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth - i do want to get to this as soon as possible - but given the speed i beat games, it will likely be may or June 😅
Reallycant ask for much more than that from a state of Play. If i had to nit pick id say rise of the ronin and Silent Hill 2 underwhelmed, but a release date for the fab looking Stellar Blade, footage for Judas, Sonic, Death Stranding, Helldivers, a little something for VR really made the show stand out. Well done Sony. Now off to download the Silent Hill Short Message which looks and sounds excellent
Great review and looking forward to this. I really must get around to the demo. The UI in the screenshots looks awfully busy which seems distracting - but i LOVE that this is a 20 hour game. More of this please
Im not bothered by them killing the justice league. I half think Rocksteady wanted to stop working on batman titles and this was one way to do it. And its not like they can't undo the whole thing through some narrative twist in the future (going to a different universe etc). Ultimately if this is their creative vision, then all power to Rocksteady for seeing it through - if indeed it was their vision
Unfortunately this game could cause much greater damage to the studio however as a result of being nothing more than incredibly generic and boring to play. Nothing i have seen appeals. Its like the game has been designed by a committee of people throwing out what they think are popular concepts / what will make them the most money, without any consideration of what made the arkham games fun.
Personally won't be playing this. I still think they peaked with Asylum (although Arkham City was solid), but i do hope that anyone that gives this a try gets some enjoyment from the game
Square's own HD-2D line kind of fills the gap Tokyo RPG factory was set up to fill, so i expect the staff will be migrated onto supporting those titles going forward
The banner image for this article says it all about the state of xbox given all the physical titles in that section are switch games.
Personally i exclusively buy games that have both a physical and digital edition physically - and i'll often wait on smaller digital titles where you know a physical will come later (have copies of things like Hades, Sifu, Tunic, Cuphead, and will soon have Sea of Stars on my bookshelf). The exception is if games are exclusively released through limited run games. Can't be bothered with all that, so if its not available at general retail, i'll pick up the digital version.
I have a few reasons for this:
Habit: I've been playing and buying games since Mega Drive 2. I have always liked seeing my library grow - and also where my money has been spent. I've found it difficult to move away from physical media - and whilst i did go heavily digital on PS Vita for convenience, i bought most of the games i wanted physically too.
Resale: This is a big one for me. I have aold on alot of my games - and probably missed out on a lot of money by selling to CEX etc - but having the option to sell on games i no longer want to play is important to me.
Cost- in the UK, physical gaming is much cheaper than buying titles digitally and its often not even close. You can easily save £20 on the PSN price if you shop around.
Ownership: This one is more contentious as i know many games these days are a licence on a disc and don't include the game but i feel more confident - rightly or wrongly - in having the game on my shelf that i can pull out and demonstrate that i own it. With a digital title, i dont have that option.
Deals and rare finds - Going into a game store is a rare treat these days, but when you do and manage to snag a bargin you do get a sense of elation that you don't get from buying a title on the store. I've managed to grab some decent bargins recently (on switch titles) that wouldnt have been possible otherwise
Other: I still feel the magic of opening the shrink wrap and enjoying the artwork on game cases - even if they often dont include an instruction book anymore. Some releases are very special. Just take the contents of the Tunic physical release as an example - its fab.
I've loved Tekken since Tekken 2, but this will be the first i miss at launch for quite some time. Not because i didnt love the demo, but there is just so much coming out and i simply cannot keep up. Like a Dragon arrived today so i'll be playing that as soon as i am over the Flu. I'll pick this up in a few months time.
Ironically they are making those same bloggers - that they claim to have brought down the game - more money.
By releasing statements like this, it will only provide more content for bloggers to farm for clicks.
Would have been much better off apologising for the state the game launched in and promising to rework it to make it something they - as a dev team - can be proud of
Also, whilst there are indeed bad faith content creators out there, video footage doesnt lie, and it doesn't take much information to form an independent opinion on the title 😅 and its not a positive one
@atthegates if you have uninstalled games on your home screen that sounds like you have a bug on the system. I'm sure you have tried this already but a couple of things to try could include:
1 . Go to settings, users and accounts, other and select “restore licenses” (some have said it worked for them online)
2. Kick off the download for the game in question again. Pause the install and try deleting again
Im not overly fussed about this given its music tracks and costumes - my biggest concern is that they release Persona 3 Sapphire in a years time - which given past performance is most likely - particularly given content is missing.
Yakuza Tuesday, Persona a couple of weeks later, final fantasy 7 late feb....yeah, this one will have to wait. I do want to play it at some point though!
As i said previously on a suicide squad article, Rocksteady is not the same company that released the arkham trilogy. With lots of its senior talent having left the studio you have to ask if WB had been pushing the studio in a direction it didnt want with SS and the live service model. I'll watch the work of hundred star games with interest.
Sonic superstars seems to be 32.99 or less at retail and has been since launch 🤔 dont think i'll be picking up much in this 'sale'. Just as well. Like a dragon next week and persona 3 / FF7 in Feb
Really dislike the Remedy logo, but Rockstar are on a hiding to nothing with this. They look nothing alike. I thought the new Remedy logo had their name written below the letter R though. At the most i can see them being obligated to do that in future to avoid confusion
Surprised by this. Given the money GAME makes selling second hand titles, you'd think they want to retain this revenue stream. I guess they lose money buying too much tat few people want to buy.
I was fairly surprised at GAME the other day. Cardiff store was closing down and had 20% off everything (granted it had been picked almost clean when i got there). Was able to trade in WWE 2k22 (for £7.50 - not bad given i paid about that for the game from CEX - had been expecting 20 pence and some string) against Luigis's mansion 3 (plus the 20% off) so only paid 25ish for a nintendo first party release which seemed like a good deal.
Was a really good game. The setting was captured brilliantly and it had some really good ideas. I think the story could have used more work and there are loads of areas for development (greater enemy variety, quidditch etc) - but as a first attempt it was a fantastic attempt to deliver a game that many of us had waited years to play
Ive already got Like a Dragon, Persona 3, and Final Fantasy Rebirth preordered. I'll get Tekken 8, Prince of Persia, Dragons Dogma, granblue, and Rise of the Ronin at some point depending on reviews and sale
Its still mad when you click through to the official Atlus channel above that they are pretending this is Xbox only.
Yes i get marketing contracts, and having the xbox splash screen at the end of the trailer makes complete sense (as with titles with playstation advertising at the end).
But not listing the PS5 and Switch versions in the description below the video is classic Atlus. Bizarre.
Cant wait to see the platform sale stats on this one.
FWIW i have this preordered on PS5 and i am looking forward to playing it, but the whole marketing situation with this, P4G and P5 Tactica has been very odd to say the least
Very excited for a female lead. Will be a refreshing change for the series and i wouldn't be surprised if she appears in future 'best of' lists for the series.
My only concern - as i have said before - is that with many of the creatives who made the previous games we have loved in the past having left Rockstar Games, we risk getting a watered down product lacking the wit and satire of previous releases.
Very excited to see how this turns out either way. It will no doubt be a fantastic sandbox to mess around in
2020 was better imo. Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Ghost of Tsushima, Last of Us 2, Persona 5 Royal, Like a Dragon / Yakuza 7 (albeit only on PS4), Resident Evil 3 remake, Streets of Rage 4, Fall Guys (given the period we were in), Tony Hawks 1 and 2 remake, 13 Sentinels, Astros Playroom, Demons Souls, Miles Morales, PS5 release - to name but a few.
2023 has been very good but a tad overated in my opinion
Happy new year team! Thank you for a brilliant year of content in 2023, and looking forward to what is to come in 2024. Hopefully playstation comes out swinging with some big surprises
Happy new year to the fantastic Push Square community too. Hope it brings you all much joy and success.
The countdown to like a dragon infinite wealth and Final Fantasy 7 rebirth is officially on
I wouldnt normally do this, but Final Fantasy 16 absolutely should be on this list for 'Away', 'Find the Flame', No Risk, No Reward, and 'To Sail Forbidden Seas' to mention but a few. The soundtrack is phenomenal.
If nothing else, Theatrhythm Final Bar Line - released in Feb - celebrating 30 years of final fantasy music also deserves an honorable mention
That said, ill have to check out the games on the list because if they top FF16, then i will be in for a treat
On the soundtrack (which is fantastic), i dont think i've seen it reported here, but the latest dlc / season pass for Theatrhythm Final Bar Line added 11 songs from FF16 as part of the content drop in November
Will possibly pick up Rogue Legacy 2 but dont think i will be spending much given my backlog.
I guess i might get cars 3 for my son given he's currently big into lightning mqueen, and its only 3 pounds. I'll have a look through the full list though.
The leaks are one thing (it sucks) and i feel bad for Insomniac and Sony that their roadmap and communication strategies are disrupted, but MOST IMPORTANTLY , i feel bad for all the Imsomniac employees whose data has been compromised. Absolutely terrible. Happened to my organisation this year and it sucks! I hope all affected get the support they need
I love these every year. I did find it amusing that Square Enix has 2 and both are just blatent adverts - and spike chunsofts is of a game only available on switch 😅
Should have made factions 2 for Pt 2 Remastered and be done with it. Its massively frustrating because it likely means we'll only see 1 new title from naughty dog for the whole of the PS5 generation - and thats if we're lucky at this point. And this is a story that will be repeated across many other fp studios. Its a gamble that clearly hasnt worked and ultimately has left the mid life period of the console feeling light from a first party perspective.
With that said, i have full sympathy with all who worked so hard on this title. I hope they can turn their frustrations into something even more rewarding in their next release
It is disapointing given this game was in development as a multiplatform title prior to the bethesda buyout (albeit no platforms were announced), but i guess its no less exclusionary than spidey exclusively releasing on playstation. Despite the debate, id be genuinely shocked if blade is not also exclusive. Will be interesting to see how well they perform at market
Microsoft needs the exclusives and competition is good for Sony. It might prompt Sony to get the hammer out and break open the case marked Uncharted 5 which at this point would be a good thing
Digital only means lack of eyes on the product in stores thus lower exposure - even for those that might purchase digitally
released at a busy time when many were playing spiderman 2
digital is expensive. Physical release = increased competition and opportunity for resale. Im another that probably would have bought day 1 if a disc was released. Instead will wait for a sale.
personally didnt love AW1 (remastered) despite the hype and loving Remedy's other output so valued the opportunity to trade in when i was done.
For what its worth i do want to play the game, but not until its either on a deep sale or releases on disc.
Yep as others have said, dont give this story any oxygen here. Not interested in giving it any exposure.
First and foremost, I hope that Sony and Insomniac are able to quickly identify the full nature of the leaks and the risks to personel and put the security and wellbeing of their staff front and centre
I guess online platforms like youtube giving publishers and developers greater reach to their community for significantly lower cost, and the likes of Summer Game Fest dealt massive damage to E3 (pun intended).
I'll miss it, for all its issues. I have great memories of getting hyped for various showcases and i liked the reliability- you knew what month Sony would be announcing the latest and greatest releases, whereas now its a lottery and we are at the whim of when they randomly decide to announce stuff.
So its farewell from me and a thank you for the memories. It had lost its way and it was probably its time - but while it lasted, it was fab
