@Magnus_Selene You clearly hate PlayStation, so why even bother commenting on this site? Wait, you're not an IonMagi alt are you? Oh, suddenly it makes sense.
The people who want Spider-Man to 'not be taken hostage' simply don't understand business in any way. Look at the sales for the non-Insomniac Spider-Man games and compare them with Insomniac's. There - that alone is reason enough to keep them with the developer and that's before we even talk about quality.
People will fondly be talking about Insomniac's Spider-Man games for years to come - who will look back on Activision's Amazing Spider-Man games and say 'wow, what a couple of absolute classics! They don't make them like they used to'? No-one, obviously.
I just want the best games to be made - if that means Spider-Man is 'held hostage', so be it.
I'm gonna double-dip on this one, I reckon. PS5 copy first for the full 60fps experience, then Switch for magic on the go (as long as it isn't a Cyberpunk-esque glitchfest)! This game is obviously gonna be a mega success, so I'm looking forward to a whole series of Hogwarts games! 👍
This game is ticking all the right boxes with me! I'll definitely be buying a copy at launch to show the devs and Rowling my support for this direction - more of this and less of Fantastic Beasts please ✨
Currently playing the Demon's Souls Remake. I've never beaten a Souls game before, so I'm trying to finally get one done! I'm seri enj the game so far - 4 bosses down, I feel like I might be able to do this!
If I can beat this, I'm gonna move on to Elden Ring next cos I'm hooked on that sweet Souls gameplay now!
It took me 41 hours to finish God of War: Ragnarok, but I'm definitely not ready to move on until I get the platinum. All the collectibles are surprisingly fun to get, they aren't a chore at all! I tried briefly going back to Ghost of Tsushima, but I was too used to the God of War controls and ended up getting killed instantly, so I'll put that on hold for now 😅
Gee, thanks, Push Square. I've already (much to my frustration) been forced to rush through the story for Ragnarok. I wanted to take my time with it, I waited 4 and a half years to see how the story would end, after all. I decided to not read any articles about, or reviews for, the game to avoid any spoilers and then you throw that line in there! I should have known that character would be in the game, but I'd have liked to have found that out for myself.
I'm gonna go all Game of Thrones on your *ss with my shame bell!
Playing Ragnarok, of course! Honestly, just 7 hours in, this already feels like it could dethrone Uncharted 4 as my fave game of all-time! What I absolutely love about the game are the centrale relationships between the main and supporting cast of characters - who'd have thought a game about a bunch of gods could be so human?
@Shepherd_Tallon I absolutely agree with everything you're saying 👌 I think both types of fight systems are great - I like that turn-based gives me time to strategise, but I also love the frenetic energy of action role-playing combat.
Funnily enough, I think the developers of Dragon Quest said they were gonna overhaul the battle system this time, so you might just get exactly what you want 😄
It's a shame articles like this get derailed so easily because it's full of interesting new information that we should be focusing on instead. I'm just gonna say it again, New Game Plus is always a win; having it at launch is massive! Good job, Square! I might still prefer turn-based combat, but this game sure is ticking a lot of boxes for me!
I don't really play videogames much anymore, but this game in particular has me more excited than any other has in recent memory. The cliffhanger ending at the end of GoW 2018 had me on tenterhooks and now I can finally play what looks to be one of the most amazing conclusions of all time?! What can I say to that other than WORD UP SON!
@naruball I was glad to finally see their account get banned. Criticism is a good thing, but that person would only ever criticise and flame and was always suspiciously quiet for positive news. That sort of behaviour is obnoxious and deserves to be called out. I just hope Ion doesn't create alt accounts and start spamming again or I might just leave this website for good.
Anyways, on topic again: I'm not really a VR guy, but I can admire Sony for sticking with their guns and putting their best foot forward with VR2 - the tech is great even if the price is a bit too steep for the vast majority.
@AdamNovice I'm hoping they'll do what they did with the first PSVR and tour it around the world. VRs a tricky one to show to people through videos, it has to be tried first-hand to really see if it's worth it.
@Keyblade-Dan Ahaha, yeah, sadly you're absolutely right. They've already messed things up - I was so disappointed when I saw the first game end with Sephiroth. No build up, no intrigue, no mysticism - what a waste, it'd be like having the shark present throughout all of Jaws!
I would have really liked them to just make a straightforward remake of the original, but I'm interested (and terrified) to see what they do with Rebirth.
It's gonna be great to see the world beyond Midgar - I just wanna see a Midgar Zolom. I hope they keep the horrifying scene with the impaled one, that really showed how much of a force of nature Sephiroth was. We definitely need to still have some of these iconic scenes even if they deviate in other places.
Ape Escape was one of my first gaming experiences - even now, it remains on of the most unique and incredible games I've ever played. It's just a pure joy from start to finish. Likewise with the second game - I never played the third, sadly. That said, I need an Ape Escape 4 on PS5 like yesterday please and thank you.
Could you imagine using the different gotcha gadgets and actually feeling them with the Dualsense?! The catapult, the dash ring, the lightsaber (I know it wasn't a light saber, but it also totally was)!
@HotGoomba Ahahaha! Thanks for the laugh - I was really getting tired of reading that guy's repetitive comments 😅
Also, it's good to see an anime game that isn't an arena fighter - not sure if Made in Abyss lends itself to that genre, but still, I wouldn't have been surprised to see them go down that route! I won't be buying the game cos the clips I've seen from the show freaked me out, but I'm happy for the fans!
I really hope we get a new Everybody's Golf game on the PS5. The PS4 entry was the first one I tried and I was immediately hooked! It's so simple, but I can't get enough of it.
I don't know anything about One Piece, but this honestly looks like it could potentially be pretty decent. The animations definitely are weird tho - really not digging the jump in particular.
That said, it's a turn-based JRPG, so they have my curiosity. I hope they release a demo because, while this game may look similar to Ni No Kuni and Dragon Quest XI, it really lacks their polish; I'll need to try before I buy on this one.
I really wanna try this one out, but I never beat the base game. I got halfway through the second isle and had to press pause on the game for a while. The clown and the dragon bosses will haunt my nightmares forever.
I did manage to get an A-rank on all the bosses in the first isle, though, so I feel like maybe I'm not actually the worst gamer ever, even if Cuphead makes me constantly feel that way!
@AndyKazama Good question! I could definitely see them doing well with the IP and since Fist of the North Star was sort-of a precursor to JoJo, they clearly already have a blueprint of sorts in place to make a great JoJo title.
It's cool that we're getting more JoJo games, but I can help but feel that a JRPG format would really suit the game! Personas are basically the same sorta thing as the Stands from JoJo. So why not make a Persona-esque JoJo game? I'd buy that in a heartbeat! Shame it's just a pipe dream right now.
The fact that the $450 doesn't include shipping just makes it so much more insulting. For that price, I'd expect free shipping and 200 $2 bills, cos that would at least be interesting.
Ah, the value of the words 'limited edition'. Maybe I should put some googly eyes on a rock and write a certificate of authenticity saying it's #1/1 available. I could put it on ebay and make an absolute fortune!
I'll believe it when I see it. Also, does anyone else always read the game's name as Skull and Crossbones? I guess it's like how I always read Balan Wonderworld as Wonderland.
Oh man! I saw the pic and read 'Jak and Daxter' and damn near had a heart attack! I seriously need someone - anyone (well, not anyone, but you get what I mean) - to make a PS5 game!
It's a shame Sony gets a lot of flack for the PS5's design - they definitely tried something unique. Honestly, I kinda love the design they went for; I can see why some don't, but I'd take a V-shaped monolith over another rectangular box any day of the week.
