Probably gonna suffer from the same problem that basically all modern tv-shows does now. Focus too much on soap opera nonsense, and just sprinkle in a minute or two of action in the beginning and end of the episodes. And then it will go on for too many seasons, with worse and worse quality.
I don't feel any excitement for tv-shows any longer. Same with the trash that is released in theaters.
I'm bored by modern AAA games. Cinematics and realistic graphics don't impress me anymore. I rather they would make more AA games instead, with fun artstyles, and new ideas/gameplay. With smaller budgets, they can take more risks again, and focus on actual gameplay. Plus they don't take 5 years to make.
I'm bored of mega budget AAA games. They play it too safe, and focus too much on cinematics and realistic graphics. Sony could have made those studios make lower budget AA games instead, to fill in the void between their AAA releases. This will generation have been a huge disappointment, both from Xbox and PS. And from now on, I'll stick to PC and Nintendo consoles.
"Excessive padding at times
Some truly crap side quests"
Same as the Remake then. (And also the genre as a whole)
I don't have the patience with yet another one of those games, where 2/3rds of the game, is a chore to play.
**** Limited Run... Often we get standard retail releases over here in Europe, of titles that LGR got their nasty hands on, in the US. So hopefully Hi-Fi Rush, is one of those titles, that gets a standard physical release over here.
I'll just keep playing the original on the PS2. I'm done with all these remakes. They should have re-released the PS2 version in the PS store, and made a brand new game instead.
Visuals are okey (though looked a bit last-gen), but the game design feels very dated. And those sequences, when you have to push L2 and R2, to crawl and turn the valve, just felt like something that should have died, in the PS3 era. The demo for the Remake was much better paced. This felt kinda boring, to be honest.
Hope you can turn of the motion blur in the full game, as it gave me motion sickness. Something I rarely get, even in VR games.
I hope they make something totally different, and not yet another cinematic game. They made some excellent platformers in the past, and wouldn't mind a new one.
It's funny how, having a hot girl in a videogame, makes the internet rage. But having a hot shirtless guy in a game, and noone cares. Western developers: Sexy girls = bad, Sexy guys = totally okey.
I don't have the body of The Rock, but that don't make me go mental on social media about, how bad it is with muscular men in games/movies.
@ajbrasel Sony should focusing on making some new single player IP's on smaller AA budgets (like in their early generations), so they can start taking risks again, with new crazy concepts, and fill the void between the AAA games, with new games, instead of remakes/remasters.
This has become the most boring console generation, when it comes to proper new first party console exclusives. I hope this remaster/remake trend dies soon. Or the PS6 gen, will be just as bad...
I'm actually having more fun discovering games I haven't played yet, on the PS2 and PS3, than I do with this one.
@OldGamer999 I wish they would focus on some AA games as well. Games that don't need 5 years of development and a 300 million dollar budget. I miss the PS2 and PS3 era, when we got multiple games in the same series. PS3 got 3 Uncharted games. It takes way too long to make AAA games now...
Finally a JRPG, I might actually finish. I usually get bored after about 20-30 hours, so this will be perfect length for me 😁👍 I wish there were more shorter JRPG's out there, as I can't stand all the unnecessary fetch and side quests, and other fluff, killing the pacing for many hours, until you can continue the story.
@Casco Yeah, we're half way through this generation, and it still feels like it hasn't started, with most of the first party games, being remasters/remakes or cross-gen... Probably gonna continue like this, during the PS6 gen as well.
How about remastering PS2-PS3 games instead?
Oh yeah, that would take some actual effort to make, instead of just rendering a PS4 game at a higher res...
Some of us have a life, and don't have all the time in the world, to waste on walking for 30 minutes to reach the next quest location, and then 30 minutes to walk all the way back again.
I miss the Japan game industry of the 80:s-00:s, when they really where on the top.
Especially JRPG:s were so much better back in the PS1/PS2 era.
There where so many new and interesting ideas back then. Hate how modern gaming is stuck in cinematic, open worlds and service games...
Yes I know indies exists, but it feels like they are also mostly recycling old ideas.
It's kinda interesting, that I'm replaying Zelda 3, for the first time in 30 years, and I'm having more fun with that, than I ever have with most modern games. Most games today are so bland and forgettable. And I just can't get into cinematic games anymore. I miss the PS1 to PS3 era...

Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's Graphical Problems Are Clear in Digital Foundry Report
@Splat
It's not a proper open world. It has open areas/regions.
And FFXVI, which also had open areas, like this one, looks MUCH better.

Re: 900 PlayStation Employees Laid Off, London Studio Closed
They need to stop wasting hundreds of millions of dollars, making a damn video game.
They have gone too far with this whole AAA thing.
I really miss the PS1-PS3 era of Playstation.
The magic is gone...
Re: Video: One Year Later, Is PSVR2 Doing Enough?
I finally got someone to buy my PSVR2.
Good riddance.
Re: Random: Tipsy The Last of Us HBO Star Pedro Pascal Secures SAG Award
I would also get drunk, if I had to sit through one of these boring award shows.
Re: Poll: What Do You Think of PSVR2, One Year Later?
My PSVR2 is gathering dust.
Not even RE4 VR could hold my interest long, due to the janky controls etc.
I'm having much more fun with Quest 3.
Especially since I can also play PCVR games wireless.
Been trying to sell my PSVR2, but so far noone is interested in buying the damn thing...

Glad it finally gets a release on more powerful platforms.

Re: PS5 Exclusive Stellar Blade Will Feature a Trio of Graphics Options
So balanced is 40fps?
I wish more games had a balaced mode.
FFVII Rebirth, would be a perfect choice for that.
Re: Bloober Team Insists Konami to Blame for Ill-Received Silent Hill 2 Remake Trailer

Re: PS5 Is Entering the 'Latter Half of Its Life Cycle', Says Sony
Feels like the gen has barely started, thanks to all the damn remasters, remakes and cross-gen games...
I hope the next gen, doesn't pull this s**t again.
Been playing more and more PS2 and PS3 games lately.

Make more AA games, not infested with boring cinematics, and move PS HQ back to Japan.

Re: 13 More Games Coming to PS Plus Extra, Premium This Month
I wish we got more PS1-PS2 games.
Premium just isn't worth it, for me.
I ended up getting FreeMcBoot and a HDD for my old PS2, instead of waiting for the classics to come to the service.
Re: Sony Predicts Slide in PS5 Sales with No Major Existing IPs Planned Before March 2025
Whatever comes next from Sony, it better be a new IP's. I'm so damn burned out on anything Spider-Man, Horizon, God of War, The Last of Us, etc.
Or bring back Jak and Daxter, Sly Cooper, Resistance, Killzone and Astrobot, if you can't come up with a brand new platformer or FPS IP.

Re: Stellar Blade's Protagonist's Body Is Based on This Real-World Korean Model
Wish western developers did this.
Sony uses beautiful models, but then change them to make them ugly/less attractive in the actual games.
I wish I could have seen the reaction, from Alex at DF, when these photos showed up. Because according to him, girls like that don't exist 😂
Re: When Is the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth State of Play?
Not gonna watch this.
Too many spoilers these days.
I already pre-ordered the game, and I wanna go in blind, not knowing anything about it.
Re: The Last of Us 3 Probably Happening at Some Point in the Future
I wish they would make something fun again, like they did, during the ps1-ps3 era.
TLoU is just too damn depressing and boring.
They should start making some AA games, in between the AAA games.
Re: Rumour: A New PlayStation Handheld Console Reportedly in the Works
If the rumors are true, which I doubt, I'll bet Sony supports it for the first 6 months, and then no more first party games...
