Yeah, I learned not to play fighting games online during the PS2 days. I've never had time to hone my skills enough to be Kompetitive. MK Chess was the most I've ever played a fighting game online.
I'm disappointed the Game Gear games aren't on the disc but I'll still move forward with picking up the physical version as planned. If worse comes to worse and I eventually lose access to Origins Plus DLC, I still have my original Game Gear copies.
Given the lack of anything else that's interesting, if I like the demo (downloaded but haven't had time to play it), I may just buy the game because of the dog.
No thanks. I know exactly what to expect from a GTA game. 90% chance this offers nothing new. The game will get boring after a dozen hours then players will move on to causing mayhem.
This will be the 2nd PS5 gen only game that I'll be buying. I'm happy to finally be continuing the story after my PS1 copy wouldn't let me past the world map area from disc 1.
As someone who buys physical most of the time... I'm pretty sure people that still have it downloaded will be able to play their copies. What this does prove is that digital only will... 1. Make it impossible to attain/download the game should your copy get deleted or corrupted. 2. Destroys the ability for gaming enthusiasts to preserve games they've truly enjoyed.
For the digital only people who have a bone to pick with our concerns... we're all well aware in this particular instance, physical copies were more prevalent so Soul Calibur 5 will not be lost. It's the present and future digital only releases that concern us.
@ShadowofSparta Look, if you're not willing to see the damage that's been done to these cities from policies that spawned from the Defund Police movement, then there's no helping you see the side of truth. If you don't think rampant crime where small businesses have been shuttered, sometimes burned to the ground, the spike in physical assault, theft so bad even large stores are leaving these cities.... then maybe you have a different definition of crumbling. But go ahead. You do you.
I'm just surprised that Microsoft still hasn't shown off the Indiana Jones game; especially with the new movie about to release. I'm betting it's vaporware at this point.
@Tharsman Fully agree. I don't think there should be 3rd party exclusivity at all, regardless of platform. I would hope that Xbox and Nintendo fans are angered at Sony when they pull something similar as seen with FF7 Remake. I would hope they let their voices of concern be heard.
@ShadowofSparta *Looks at all the cities across America [San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, New York] that have backed criminals over law and order and continues to watch them crumble.
Dude... people have outright admitted that Defunding the Police is exactly what they want. They want zero law enforcement. Time to wake up. The ideals were taken over by the ideological zealots that are destroying western society.
In today's political climate of Defund Police and anti-law enforcement in general, I don't see this game doing very well. I expect that it will be attacked mercilessly in an attempt to shelve the project and an expectant apology will be demanded for ever considering this project be created in the first place.
@IAmAshCohen17 Fully agree. Especially after Sony's interference with the Activision buyout. It would have to be something written in the licensing contract before all the drama occurred. I would just like an answer instead of being left in limbo like what MS did with the second Tomb Raider game around 2015.
Honestly, just hoping to see Indiana Jones from Microsoft. I'd love to see confirmation (sometime this week) that it either is or is not coming to PS5. I expect it won't and I'll be waiting to play until I eventually upgrade my PC in a few years. Still, with the new movie just around the corner, it would make sense for Microsoft to finally show the game.
Great to hear. Hoping they release a demo because Sonic 4 looked great until I played the physics were way off. Think I'll hold off until others get their hands on this and can compare the physics.
@SirMarshmallow Correct. Those are all slated for PS5. Given what's been shown outside of those I listed, have proven to me that PS5 should be my last game system for keeping up with modern gaming. That means when PS6 releases, I more than likely won't bother purchasing one.
@SirMarshmallow I'll happily be "left behind" as I won't buy a digital only game system. Besides, the way modern gaming is, there's almost no reason for me to stay up to date anymore. I'll wait for games like Instinction, Mass Effect 5, Witcher 1 and 4, and the new Tomb Raider, and then I'll bow out of modern gaming.
The best that gaming has to offer has already been made.
@RBD I get what you're going for there but Ubisoft Montpellier is developing it and they're located in France. It's not even the Canadian studio.
As for my take, it's not the Prince that I'm used to seeing. The music was horrible. Gameplay looks more akin to what the series was originally which I never enjoyed.

So that's their strategy with Spiderman 2 and possibly Wolverine even. 🤔 Interesting take Sony.

I'm not surprised given that Amazon is paying for Tomb Raider. Still, glad that CD will continue on the project without being hampered.

@Flaming_Kaiser Yes. That means the IP isn't potentially on the chopping block.

@OrtadragoonX I'd be happy with 20 hour games. I honestly get board of the bloatware we've been hammered by the last 10 years.
Re: Sorry, But Games Are Probably Going to Take Longer Than Ever to Make on PS5
So PS5 streamlining development, making it easier and quicker than ever to get the game done was a falsehood.
Unfortunate.

Sad for all the people wondering if they'll be cut or already have been.
