@get2sammyb I’m shocked Ubisoft didn’t give up on Rocksmith. But this model and targeting all those app based guiar learning tools seems perfect.
It really is an amazing learning tool. It’s taught me so much, and got me playing guitar. I’ve since started real lessons as well, but as a song learning tool it’s unmatched. I was fully playing stuff like Cheap Trick’s Surrender at 100% before ever having a teacher.
Was Demons Souls open like that? I thought you could pick the world you wanted to go to in the hub area? But it’s been 10 years since I played it haha. And never got very far.
@ElMarko Depends what your definition of complete is. I’ve beaten it 3 times and still don’t feel anywhere close to ‘completion’ These games are built for repetition and NG+ imo.
I loved it. It might be my favorite, except for the nostalgia that 5 has for me because it got me into the series (besides failing miserably as a kid at 3)
Perfect length, never stayed in one place too long. Nice side stuff and backtracking. Perfect imo. Also nailed the story and I loved all the villains
How scary is this game? I love VR games and loved RE7....but generally I’m a scary cat. Quit doom VR instantly due to pinky charging at me (and the awful controls) lol.
I’ve bought a PS1/2 and BC PS3 as a spare for my ancient PS3 just to keep my library alive. I’d gladly pay for an emulator. If it carries over to PS6 etc I’d happily pay 100$
@J2theEzzo There’s a polygon article that says they may look into adding Split Screen down the road. Could just be PR mumbo jumbo but at least they’re aware people want it.
You made a really good point. I thought I was just getting older and that’s why the news seemed less interesting, but i honestly question why I log into PS 4 times a day anymore. Sony just isn’t doing anything exciting and when there is news it’s a quick burst that lasts for a day or two.
I love Gravity Rush but their content over the past few years has been kinda bad. Hopefully a restructure and investment will help them grow back up to making great games!
This would be a day one purchase from me if I had a PS5. Price point is whatever, lack of people owning consoles for people to buy the game is what really sucks.
It’s the only one I haven’t played (shocking I know).
But I’m glad they’re giving it to the mainline studio. Their track record has been really good! So I’m sure whatever direction they take will be well received!
4-6 players has me hopefully it’s not another asymmetrical type of deal. Hope it can celebrate the franchise and put iconic hero’s and villains against each other in scenarios like Outbreak.
I did enjoy Resistance for the first two or so weeks but once Masterminds became leveled up and you got a noob on your team, it was miserable.
I had to quit playing PVZ Battle for neighborville for this exact reason. I loved the game but then it started to become a chore for me to complete dailies etc and I started to get stressed out by it!
I’ve switched to SP only games mainly now because I know I’ll feel the same way with so many games going the live service/battle pass route.
3 hours of my life gone to trailers for kinda mediocre games.
Then quickly shoved in awards for 10 min...
I def overhyped myself for it this year tho. I thought with the lack of conferences this past summer there would be some cool announcements, especially with PS5 now out.
This is the game that makes me want a PS5 in March versus next winter - but even I’m unsure if I’d pay that upon release.
Fantastic article and I hope well written articles like this can help some change happen with regards to how Sony prices games - having a spectrum of prices would be nice, and unproven new IP without a huge amount of hype shouldn’t be priced to fail at 70$
It stinks this happened to you, but for others that had the same thing occur, it’s good to have someone with a bit of PR weight to their name in the same boat.
If I had this and called Amazon US they’d be like ‘sorry, can’t help, anything else I can do for you today?’
Jim Ryan got the job because the last dude move into heading up PS Now - to me, that screams they have BIG plans for that to be the future of PlayStation, or else why would you demote yourself.

Re: Game of the Show: Top 5 PS5, PS4 Games from E3 2021
Rocksmith+ that was the biggest for me by a mile.

Re: May 2021 NPD: Resident Evil Village Is Second Best-Selling Game of 2021
Glad to see how well received this RE has been. Hopefully they keep pushing for this type of quality in their RE games.
And stop these half baked MP spin-offs lol. Let’s have another Outbreak game lol.
Re: Rocksmith+ Jams on PS5, PS4 with Subscription Teaching Tool
This is awesome!!! I LOVE Rocksmith and this is a great idea.
Rocksmith is an amazing teaching tool.

Re: Sony Exploring Ways to Bring 'Wonderful' PlayStation Franchises to Mobile
Give me a PlayStation hero collector game like SWGOH, DSA or MSF.
Re: Talking Point: Should Sony Have Its Own Controller Design Lab?
It would do so well. They could easily charge 25% or more on top of the base cost and it would sell like hotcakes.
Like many others, I want a classic themed controller with the classic color face buttons.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Resident Evil Village?
I loved it. It might be my favorite, except for the nostalgia that 5 has for me because it got me into the series (besides failing miserably as a kid at 3)

Re: Classic PS2 Action RPG Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance Is Being Re-Released Tomorrow on PS4
NO WAY!!!! I just bought this on PS2 on ebay to help introduce my wife to easy RPG’s. If it’s co-op I’m picking it up even tho 30$ is dumb
Re: Don't Forget to Download April 2021's Free PS Plus Games While You Can
@Turismo4GT I just got my PS5 and it was really nice to have a few games waiting for me to play. (Especially after I dropped 150$ on Returnal and RE8)
Re: Leaked Document Reveals Xbox's Opinion of The Last of Us 2
The combat was some of the best of 3rd person games I’ve played, weird complaint. Leagues ahead of TLOU 1.

Re: Resident Evil Village Resurrects The Mercenaries Arcade Mode
YESSSSSSSSS
co-op or online??
Re: Sony Wants to Bring PlayStation's Most Popular Franchises to Smartphones
@get2sammyb Lol I came here to comment the same thing. Maybe there’s hope for more PSAS! Haha even if it is a dumb mobile version.
Re: You Can Try Out Resident Evil Re:Verse on PS5, PS4 if You Dare
JUST DO RAID MODE AGAIN! And Mercinaries!! Everyone loved those.
Re: Sony Suggests MLB Made the Decision to Include MLB The Show 21 on Xbox Game Pass
This is bonkers. What was once a console selling franchise for Sony will now sell consoles for Xbox if it stays on Gamepass.
Sony needs to renegotiate or get out of this deal and use the team to make system sellers for itself.
Re: Ace Infographic Is the Master of Unlocking 25 Years of Resident Evil X PlayStation History
Please Capcom. More ports/remakes. I want to experience all the old titles on a PS5 with non tank controls.
Re: Talking Point: Would You Buy a PS1, PS2, or PS3 Emulator for PS5?
I’ve bought a PS1/2 and BC PS3 as a spare for my ancient PS3 just to keep my library alive. I’d gladly pay for an emulator. If it carries over to PS6 etc I’d happily pay 100$

Re: Dungeons & Dragons Action RPG Dark Alliance Adventures to PS5, PS4 This June
THIS LOOKS AMAZING
Dark Alliance 1 was my favorite GameCube game. I still remember the convoluted cheat code to skip to any level and max your stats hahaha.
Re: Reaction: What Next for PlayStation?
You made a really good point. I thought I was just getting older and that’s why the news seemed less interesting, but i honestly question why I log into PS 4 times a day anymore. Sony just isn’t doing anything exciting and when there is news it’s a quick burst that lasts for a day or two.
Re: Aliens: Fireteam Squads Up in 25 Minute PS5, PS4 Gameplay Demo
Pretty pumped for this. And glad they showed off gameplay! It looks solid and fun!
Re: Sony Officially Confirms Re-Organisation of Japan Studio
I love Gravity Rush but their content over the past few years has been kinda bad. Hopefully a restructure and investment will help them grow back up to making great games!
Re: Interview: Returnal PS5 Developer Housemarque Talks Story, Replayability, and Value
This would be a day one purchase from me if I had a PS5. Price point is whatever, lack of people owning consoles for people to buy the game is what really sucks.
Re: Call of Duty: Warzone Players Already Hate the New Intro Video
Lol I remember getting annoyed by Black Ops 1’s unskippable intro back in the day too. I can still hear that music 10 years later hahaha
Re: ANTHEM's Big Overhaul Has Been Cancelled
Wow at least many of the other big failure games ended up delivering down the road. But I guess people can’t really hate EA more then they already do.
Re: Sonic the Hedgehog Voice Actor Hangs Up His Red Sneakers After 10 Years
Return to Resident Evil please.
Re: Here's Resident Evil Re:Verse in Action with Five Minutes of Footage
Looks way better then the trailer made it seem.
Re: Resident Evil 4 Remake Targets 2023 Launch After Development Reboot, Says New Report
It’s the only one I haven’t played (shocking I know).
But I’m glad they’re giving it to the mainline studio. Their track record has been really good! So I’m sure whatever direction they take will be well received!
Re: Which Resident Evil Village Bundle Are You Buyin'?
200$ FOR CHRIS EDITION!?!?
I remember getting an enormous dragon statue with Skyrim and paying like 120$ or something. Dang.
Re: Pre-Order Returnal on PS5 to Unlock These In-Game Costumes
Pre order bonus should be locking in a PS5 order.
Re: Soapbox: A Resident Evil Outbreak Reboot Makes Far Too Much Sense
4-6 players has me hopefully it’s not another asymmetrical type of deal. Hope it can celebrate the franchise and put iconic hero’s and villains against each other in scenarios like Outbreak.
I did enjoy Resistance for the first two or so weeks but once Masterminds became leveled up and you got a noob on your team, it was miserable.
Re: Returnal Gets Brand New PS5 Gameplay Trailer, Details on Combat
I’d pay 70$ for it. Shame I can’t find a PS5.
Re: David Jaffe Has 'Zero Knowledge' on Cross-Gen God of War: Ragnarok
What has this dude been up to in recent years? Still making games?
Re: Game of the Year: Best PS5, PS4 Story of 2020
I haven’t played 13 Sentinels but keep hearing amazing things about it.
Re: Soapbox: I Can't Keep Up with Service Games

Re: Reaction: Sony's New PS Store Is Actively Preventing Fans from Spending Money
@Voltan Weird, I went on before posting my (earlier) comment to check and saw a bunch of the sale items. Maybe certain regions have more issues idk.
Re: Reaction: Sony's New PS Store Is Actively Preventing Fans from Spending Money
Use the App, it works great!

Re: Soapbox: PS5 Pricing Is Setting Releases Like Returnal Up to Fail
This is the game that makes me want a PS5 in March versus next winter - but even I’m unsure if I’d pay that upon release.

Re: All the Winners at The Game Awards 2020
It’s crazy to look back and see how well Sony did year after year this generation.
Re: Keanu Reeves the Latest Presenter Revealed for The Game Awards 2020
Okay. That list of guests is so random but makes me have to watch.
Gotta wonder if Eddie Vedder is presenting a Last of Us award - hope he plays Future Days
Re: Xbox Series X|S Runs PS2 Games Better Than PS5
I would happily buy the Series S or X or whatever if I could turn it into a PS2/3 emulator.
I just bought a B/C PS3 on eBay since mine took a dump but who knows how long it’ll last!
Re: Intriguing RPG Greedfall Is Coming to PS5, Also Getting an Expansion
YES!!! Picked this up over a summer sale and it’s been one of my favorites! Highly recommend!

Re: PlayStation Store Black Friday Sale Has Awesome PS5, PS4 Deals
Greedfall is back to 15$ - I bought it last time it was on sale and it’s become one of my favorite games of the generation!
If you like choice/story RPGs I highly recommend! Graphically it could use polish but if that stuff doesn’t bother you, you’ll love it!
Re: Sony on PS5's Response to Game Pass: There Is News to Come, But Not Today

Re: Project 007 Targeting Modern Systems, Will Run on Glacier Engine
I wonder if the character model will be based on the new bond, one of the classics or a totally new model.
Re: Sony Believes PS5 Game Pricing Is Fair, Denies It Considered Charging More
@get2sammyb I think it’ll depend if it’s a spoiler heavy title (GOW2) versus a lighter game (Sackboy).
I know I’d grumble, but pay that for something like GOW2 but will certainly wait on other titles until they’re on sale!
