Is this a port of an old PS2 game?
The graphics looks horrible.

I'm just burned out on this genre.

Loved the darker and more serious tone.
I often find modern JRPG to be too cringe and annoying.
But this felt like a more grown up FF.

They should just release a next gen patch, to render the game in 4K and boost the FPS to 60fps. No need for a remaster or remake.

After all the "Souls" games that followed, inkl Elden RIng, Sekiro etc. Bloodborne, just feels sluggish in comparison. Felt like it was overrated, even when it was new.

Too be honest. Except for Astrobot, I doubt my PS5 will get much use this year. Since I mostly game on PC and Switch, the PS5 is just a dust collector now. Maybe next year will be better, but I've been saying that to myself, for four years in a row now. I know some are very happy with the games released on the console. But I guess I'm just not interested in the type of AAA games, that Sony makes today. Their focus on third person cinematic games, like Horizon, God of War and Last of Us, are just boring to me now, compared to back in the PS3 era, when games like Uncharted felt fresh and exciting.

And then GTA7 will follow in 2047, due to multiple console generations of GTA6 ports and remasters.

It's been so damn long now, that I lost all excitement for the new game...

Xbox wiped the floor with the rest of the shows.
I always expect these events to be massive disappointment, but the Xbox show, is the only one, in MANY years, that was actually exciting.

@NattyKing

I know they're going multi-platform.
But it wasn't long ago fanboys said they had no interest at all in Xbox games, but now suddenly, they do 😂

So the fanboys went from "We don't want Xbox games!", to "Give us all Xbox games!"
Interesting how quickly things change

This blew Sony out of the water.

I hope we see a return of old-school hack n slash, in the near future. I'm beyond burned out on the "Souls" genre...

Fanboys must live a miserable life, to get upset about stuff like this. Talk about first world problems...

I didn't watch it live. I waited until it was over, and then skimmed through it on youtube. I always do this, so I don't have to suffer through all the boring ***** live.

There was maybe 2-3 games, that was interesting. The rest was just the same crap, we've had for years now. CGI trailers should be banned...

My girlfriend have been waiting for a new Lego game, but she doesn't own a Playstation. So happy she will be able to enjoy it on her Switch

All these MP games, looks the same to me.

Not a fan of the Horizon games.

Something set in the Astrobot world, would have been more fitting for a Lego game. Throw in Ratchet and Clank in there as well.

Wonder if the infected will show up.
I think we saw them for a total of 15 minutes, in the first season.

"Great", more F2P crap...
I fear what the industry will look like, 10 years from now...

Bought the original on PC, a while back, and the artstyle still looks great, especially in 4K.
Even the PS2 version still looks great on a CRT.

That's why I prefer games with artstyles like this, instead of photorealism, as they age MUCH better.

A remaster of the original version, with some QoL improvements, rendered in 4K, would have been enough.

Already got SoR4 on release.
Still nothing to make me subscribe again.

I can seriously not think of any game, that I'm truly looking forward to, this year, except for Astrobot.
I'm just so damn tired of boring cinematic games, Souls-likes, post apocalyptic misery simulators, military FPS etc.

Too me, the world is a total mess, so it's the perfect timing for a game like Astrobot to cheer us up a bit.

Please, no more TLoU.
The first one had such a great ending. They should just have left it there.
I'm so damn tired of sequels, both when it comes to games and movies.

And I wish they would try something different now, instead of making more cinematic third person games. So many other genres they could try out.

This really is such a first world problem.
I'm more worried about what Putin will do next, than what will happen to my video games. 😂

Ah, forgot to add, that I meant downloading digital backups on PSN. I changed the post.

And about not owning digital.
I can download backups of Steam games, and save them on a physical device forever. Same with GOG etc. Been digital on PC for 18 years now, and I haven't lost a single game. Even if Steam lose the license for a game, if I bought it, I can still download it from them.

Edit: Though sadly you can't make backup of digital games on PSN, to keep them safe on external storage.

Why the hell would I care, when I'm dead?
And same with physical. People can throw it in the bin, because I won't care.

Astrobot...and...that's it for me.

All these Falcom games, looks the same to me.
Especially the characters.

So yet another Souls-like.
I really miss old-school hack n slash games...

Yet another pointless remaster.
A PS5 patch, would have been enough.
Have Sony forgotten, that the PS5, can play PS4 games?
Enough with the damn remasters.

New Astrobot looks great.
Sooo...yeah, I guess that was it for me.

That new Astrobot game, will probably be the only game, at the moment, that keeps me from selling my PS5.
For the last 12 months, Final Fantasy XVI and Stellar Blade, are the only new games I used it for, as I'm otherwise playing on my PC.

If 2025, becomes just as boring as this year (so far), when it comes to exclusives, then I'm done with Playstation (and Xbox) consoles.

I wanna see that new Astrobot game.
Other than that, I have no expectations.

@naruball
The haptics is a bit stronger on PSVR2.
That's the only thing I miss from that VR set.
The Quest 3 controller are smaller and more comfortable to use. When you aim down a sight, or reload a gun etc. you don't have big tracking rings, getting in the way.

@tropeful
Quest 3 has higher resolution, using 2064x2208.
120hz as well, and no annoying mura.
And the pancake lenses, is sharp from edge to edge, compared to the PSVR2, where you have to be in the sweetspot, and it's still not sharp all the way to the edges.
Sure, PSVR2 has better blacks, but everything else, is worse.

@CutchuSlow
Only for the Quest part.
It's for the Quest store, and cloud save.
No need to add Facebook or the other crap, to use it.
I deleted my Facebook account, when it wasn't forced anymore.

If you already got a PSVR2 then this is great news.
But if you haven't gotten one yet, I recommend getting a Quest 3 instead. That way you can play wireless, and also get MUCH better resolution and sharpness. Plus you don't have to chase for the sweetspot, which is horrible on PSVR2.

I do miss the PSVR2 controllers though, which had excellent haptics.

At last! Been waiting a long time for a RE:CV remake.
If they also make Zero, they better make one for RE1 as well.

Love the movie. But they totally missed the mark with this one. Except for the clowns, it's barely resemble the movie.

When will they learn, to NEVER announce a game, when all you got is a logo or CGI trailer, and development barely has even begun.
Better to wait, when you are at least 75% done with the game. Otherwise we get a teaser and then we have to wait for 5-7 for the game to be released, incl delays.

I expect this to be yet another Metroid Prime 4 situation...

I hope we still get turn-based combat.

All these multiplayer games looks the same to me...
It's insane thinking of all the insane amounts of money, they just keep flushing down the toilet, making them.

More drama in the video game industry...

The Avalanche game is great as it is.
Kojima would only make it cringe, weird and pretentious.

"to immersive narratives that resonate long after the controller is set down."

Please don't get even more pretentious, Sony...
Focus on fun GAMEPLAY.

Can we have a new Resistance instead?

The last ND game, I really enjoyed, was Uncharted 3.
Cinematic third-person games, have gotten really boring now.
And way too pretentious.

So I really hope they try to make something different this time.
But... it will probably be more of the same.

Oh no...
This probably means we're only gonna get a two hour campaign, and the rest of the focus will be on multiplayer.

Hope I'm wrong.

@TrickyDicky99
The console gamers are just as bad.

There is a reason why I don't play online games, and it's been the same, since the early days.
I remember being told, by a kid, to go F myself, when trying Battlefield online on the 360 😂

I wish there was a proper single player mode, in the game. Yes you can play it alone, but it gets pretty much impossible to survive later in the game, going solo.

@MisterNintendo

Lol. Pc Pirate race? 😂You know it's not the 1990:s anymore? Game sales are doing big numbers on Steam. There is a reason why Xbox and Sony are selling games on PC now.
