Just here to say that you've seemingly used that pun at the top there a total of 8 times (technically, however, one was just an extremely similar variation), 4 of which are in articles about Tekken 8. There's just no imagination in it anymore.
Edited to say "anymore" at the end of the last sentence. Meant to say it initially, sorry.
As someone with a sibling who owns pretty much all the Kingdom Hearts games they can get that also is a My Chemical Romance ultra nerd, the overlapping fanbase seems about right.
If they wanted to do a poll like this and want it to be at least slightly respected, they should perhaps have brought more attention to it. I for one didn't see a single mention of it anywhere. And even if you don't like Mario, I know I don't, he's still more iconic than Lara Croft. And the less said about the rest of the list, the better. Characters from games less than a year old probably should not have been eligible for the thing, when it comes to things like Baldur's Gate 3, I can't even match names to faces.
I always loved the Persona one, the one for the remake. The song is really catchy, I could listen to it for ages (On a side note, it's pretty much a perfect length to time how long to brush your teeth for, if you don't have a timer. Short and sweet). And I mean, it's just a really nice looking opening cinematic.
Everyone keeps talking about an ultimate edition with all the content of all the versions, but I think it deserves mention that going by the release date of Portable, 2009 being the earliest regional release date, there's probably been people waiting for the complete edition for 14 years or so. I'm just going to say that with that in mind, people are no doubt going to waiting a long time for such a thing. I don't know about anyone else here, but I'm just going to wait for a deep, deep sale on this version, if I even get it at all. My siblings have both the other versions anyway, but I really want dual audio.
I just saw the original PS1 version going for £150 a couple of months ago, seeing that made me rather glad that they decided to remake it. I've been after playing a game or two in this series for a while, so the timing's good. I still need to get the 1st one now, though.
I can't really see there being another release of this game, I mean, with this it's got 2 more different versions than any other in the series. With that being said, though, I don't doubt that some of the things people are complaining about the lack of will probably just be DLC. It's Atlus after all. This is just my 2 cents on the matter, though, which will probably be proven wrong. Also, this title seems a little confusing at first glance, but that could just be me.
@huyi Neither the Metal Gear Solid or Silent Hill HD Collections had the first game in their series in, which is a pain. I can only assume the reason for that is cause it would be too hard to bring the PS1-era graphics up to scratch. Just a guess, though.
Really hate all this exclusive marketing rights thing. I mean, from a business standpoint, it kind of makes sense, but it just leads to a lot of confusion. I'd rather they just were either exclusive or that there were no exclusive marketing rights. Give everyone an equal chance. Main thing, though, I hope that this remake actually functions as a definitive version.
Maybe this is because all the versions on the other consoles have dlc included? That seems unlikely, but perhaps. Hang on, it's just Europe, it's even less likely.
15/15, using logic, guesses, and pure dumb luck equally. I was also looking into the series on Wikipedia recently in case I might want to play it, so that came in helpful.
I just started playing Silent Hill 2 via the HD Collection on the PS3, and whilst the fog doesn't seem quite right, the rest, including the atmosphere is top notch. I didn't realise quite how incredible it was, and I doubt this will measure up to the original.
I just gave up and bought the HD Collection 2 weeks ago as I don't have the right consoles for any other, but still, this kind of thing keeps happening!
I just wish I could get Etrian Odyssey 3. A dual pack of P2 and better P3 would be nice, I suppose. Digital Devil Saga is a bit of a hassle to play on PS3, though.
What I don't understand is if they are just straight-up ports, then why are they taking until next year? I don't know how hard it is to port something, but don't they normally take less time after announcement than this?

4/10. I did not do very well on this one. 2 or 3 of those were guesses.

Re: Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection: All Games Included and What to Play First
Doesn't it have the MSX version of Metal Gear as well as the NES one? Is there a difference? Am I just misremembering this?

Re: Silent Hill: Ascension Streams Online Later This Year, Influenced by Fans
I doubt this one'll be any good, and I also doubt I'll even be able to watch it, but it's an interesting idea.

Re: Insider Says Silent Hill 2 Remake, Townfall, and Ascension Trailers Incoming
@huyi Wasn't even a trilogy, there were only 2 in that collection.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 474
Silent Hill, and maybe Digital Devil Saga 2 on PS3 (I don't know what I'd do without backwards compatibility), and Danganronpa on Vita.

Re: Classic RPG Remake Live A Live Coming to PS5, PS4 on 27th April
Good, this game is awesome. More people should play it. It excels in almost every category.
Re: Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse (PS5) - A Warts and All Survival Horror Remaster
If I can stand Silent Hill, I can stand this. Even so, I'll probably only end up buying it in 3 years.
Re: You Can Become a Millionaire by Winning the Next Capcom Cup
@Voltan I know, that's probably why there's an article on it, but even 1,000 would be a lot to me. The most money I've ever had to spare is about 300.
Re: You Can Become a Millionaire by Winning the Next Capcom Cup
Things like this make me wish I was actually capable of playing fighting games properly.

Re: Test Your PlayStation General Knowledge - Issue 22
13/15. A fair few of these were guesses, though, and I thought it was going to be a lot worse.
Re: Test Your PlayStation General Knowledge - Issue 21
6/15. I did so badly at the beginning, I thought I wasn't going to get any right.

And to think you could get a Switch Lite for less. I did not realise it would be so expensive.

11/15. Not bad, but I missed a few obvious ones.

15/15, my best was just a bunch of lucky guesses.
Re: No Free PS4 to PS5 Upgrade Path for Persona 5 Royal
@PJ5 I'll be honest, I kind of assumed that's who it's for. After all, who would buy exactly the same game twice?

6/15. Yet again.
Re: SEGA Considering Movie Adaptations of Persona Games
@Korgon I'll be honest, I would think it would work better as a tv series.
