@Dr_Derp I was thinking, maybe next gen they will move to memory cards for games, but that will screw up backwards compatibility, unless they will also sell some disc drives separately for disc games.
Will buy when it goes to around 20-30€ but only because I only have the Vanilla version for the PS4 and want to own a copy of Royal. Will leave it sealed though, the original has the actual canon story, evidenced by it's succesor, P5 Strikers.
Most TVs have around 100-150 W power on full brightness anyway, so another 60-80 W isn't a big deal I think. It's during gaming where the power rises substantially, to around 200 W.
@AndyKazama There is hope for Red Art Games to bring us a western physical release later. They released Relayer and will also bring Demon Gaze Extra next year. I would wait a few months. I imported F.I.S.T. and Raiden 4 and now they have western releases.
@BartoxAbrasiveness If it's costing more than 400€, Sony surely makes big profit on these. Remember that the Quest 2 has a processor, battery and memory, as the article above states.
@CaptainCluck Wow, very nice. Wonder what's the deal with that. I'm guessing Playstation already has a strong position in SE Asia, but maybe they are trying to attract Plus subscribers.
@MrXinaThong, You cand already play TLOU1 and HZD at 60 FPS and high resolution on PS5 if you own a PS4 copy. I don't plan on buying any of those 2 remakes until they are under 20 Euro. What I don't get is this ridiculous outrage on social media. Sony can remaster whatever they want, I don't care, but they are not forcing anybody to buy them. It's your choice alone. People should just stop crying about this.
@CutchuSlow is there any reason we should be interested in your obvious display of hate for PS5? I don't get these type of comments. Are you trying to influence people, trying to convince someone that PS5 is bad?
Everyone is so mad about this, but the same people are begging for a Witcher 3 Remaster? What gives? Both games released around the same time. Don't buy if you don't like.
Man, how much money is MS pumping into getting these games Day 1. I can't imagine it's cheap or Sony would also do it. The power of unlimited money, I guess. I'm still not tempted to buy an Xbox, though.
I was just thinking, what if Kojima started making a JRPG? That surely would be a AAA game. I think we need a competitor to Square Enix. They are taking too long with their Final Fantasies. The other AAA RPG franchise is Tales of from Bandai, I think, and maybe Persona.
I Sony were smart, they'd see the succes of companies like Falcom and acquire them and give them a good dev engine, training, some more money, and a translation team. Imagine an YS X or XI game with Horizon graphics.
Wanted to get a physical copy but the Online Only on the box just screams NO to me. What's the point of a physical version when the game is dependent on a server to be played?
Same issue with Babylon's Fall, ESO, Destiny, Gran Turismo 7 and Godfall, even weirder with this one, being a mostly single player game.
Anyway, will probably get the digital copy if discounted to ~10$.
@Shadcai From what I've heard, only Japan will get a physical release. Maybe someone like Red Art Games will publish it in the west later down the line, like they are doing now with Demon Gaze Extra, and previously Relayer.
@TheArt they stopped manufacturing and selling PS4s a long time ago. You can only buy a PS4 on second hand markets. It's a weird decision though. I think Sony should have made a PS5 S, 4.5 TF machine like the Series S. They would have sold 30-40 mil consoles by now. I guess MS were smarter this gen.
@Flaming_Kaiser, Well said, it would be nice to have a even just a digital version, but if they could also put the first one on the PS5 disc would be amazing.
So glad these IPs and studios got bought by Embracer and not Microsoft, that way they can remain multiplatform. Although, you never know when MS will throw 100 billion and buy whole Embracer Group.
I don't understand why there's no PS5 version. I have the first game on disc for PS5, would be realy weird to get the sequel on PS4. It's so backwards.
Already have the PS5 copy preordered. A local retailer is selling PS5 copies for 25€, if someone from EU is interested, I can link the store. I surely hope they don't cancel it before release saying it was a mistake.
@Constable_What Yea, PSVR not for me either. I would much rather they make new PSP with PS4 like power. I don't understand why Sony even bothers with VR, for the potential 5-6 mil clients, maybe 10 mil in the best case scenario.
@Milktastrophe Let's hope not Saber from Russia. I don't even know why they don't divest or shut that branch down, with the parent company being Swedish anyway. I will definitely not buy or play it if it's made in Russia.
Well, if you take away their cut of the sales, no platform can survive. No cut, means no console market. If they succeed with the case, only PC gaming will remain, unless Steam will also be targeted.
Sony, Nintendo and MS cannot survive on first party alone.
I think reveiwers are too spoiled by SMT V and P5. Also from what I understand all Persona games before 5 had bad dungeon design, so it's on par for the series. Anyway I will be getting a physical copy soon after launch. Most Sega games get discounted shortly after launch.
To all the PC elitists. I tried PC for about 2 years, but I am not loaded with money to upgrade my cpu, mb, gpu, ran, ssd every 2 years, so I sold it and returned to console. I prefer spending my money on games, rather than on PC parts to keep up with the newest graphical settings. I suffer from big FOMO, if I spend big money, I want to see all ultra settings ticked.
@PegasusActual93 I think it's very hard for people who haven't been watching subtitled movies since childhood, and very easy for us from non English speaking countries. In my country, if a movie is not a local production, it will always be subtitled.
The big problem with this is that publishers are starting to put much lower stock in store. I'm already seing this for a lot of games, which in the end means only one thing, the retailes will keep prices high for a long time, and if you wait a few months for a game to get discounted, you will not even find a copy available to buy anymore.
@sanderson72 I don't know why you say this, but every worthwhile indie is also on PS platforms, apart from that 2d isometric one, I forgot its name, sorry. I mean, every good indie that released on Xbox, also came or will come to PS, The Ascent, Tunic, Death's Door. PS still has some Indie games which are exclusive on the console space, The Pathless, SIFU, Stray, Salt and Sacrifice, etc.

Seems like a poorly optimised game, at least on PS5. I would have advised people to wait for some patches if I were the reviewer. Crashes are a no go.

Waiting until then, or when they will go cheap enough to buy digitally.
Re: PS5 Price Increase Confirmed for UK, Europe, Japan, Canada, and More
@naruball Not much I think, but It's the only market where Xbox is usualy ahead or equal to PS.
Re: PS5 Price Increase Confirmed for UK, Europe, Japan, Canada, and More
Well, as long as they won't see consoles stuck on stores' shelves unsold, they won't care what we say.
Re: PS5 Price Increase Confirmed for UK, Europe, Japan, Canada, and More
Glad I preorderd on launch. Since then, I think very few people bough it for MSRP anyway. Now it's going to be even worse.
Re: PS5 Price Increase Confirmed for UK, Europe, Japan, Canada, and More
@MidnightDragonDX because that's the market dominated by Xbox. Imagine increasing the price in USA, they would lose even more customers.
