@resigamer28 Wow "I don't like sports games so therefore no one should derp" Please stop being narcissistic and understand that just because you don't like a specific genre doesn't mean that it shouldn't exist. I don't like ultra violent games too much, but that doesn't mean I think so highly of myself that I feel they shouldn't exist. Different people, different tastes.
Great update! I hope Polyphony continues to support the game through the latter half of next year when the PS5 is likely to launch. Because as good as it is now, it's still not quite as content-packed as GT5 & GT6, especially given the lack of a track creation tool.
@FullbringIchigo I just don't understand why the mods don't step in and stop Kyle's trolling. It's completely obvious that he's trolling all of us and is single-handedly creating a very hostile environment here sigh.
@3MonthBeef The biggest flaw of all is that the console would be a useless brick once servers shutdown and everytime a company goes under their games will be removed forever meaning that many of your favorite games would be forever out of reach if the company that developed or published it goes out of business...
@3MonthBeef If it is the future the industry will go the way of the dodo. For every gamer like yourself who accepts it there are easily 100 people who will quit gaming altogether if it happens because they want to own their purchases, plus regardless of internet speed there will always be input lag which makes fighters, platformers, and action games impossible to play.
@Areus That one was a straight port of the PSP game, while this is a remake. I wouldn't be surprised if Second Evolution also gets a remake for PS4 around or slightly after the PS5 launches.
@rjejr Also remember that as a whole consoles have been getting fewer games than pre-HD era due to increased development time. Usually releases increase exponentially during the final stretch of a console in this HD/4K era. Even dropping a year off of the generation could cause most of the best third party games to not be released and be pushed to next generation. It would likely cause most generational titles to be released once every two generations instead as well.
@rjejr Some of us aren't rich and wait 3-5 years to buy a console and would like to get it before it's yesteryear's news. With your logic it would be even better if Sony released a console every year like i devices.
I personally like getting both Nintendo's and Sony's hardware each generation which the past two generations has been 4 system's in-total. There's no way in heck the average person can splurge and get all 4 within a timely manner given the cost of living. 2018 would have been absolutely ridiculous and unheard of. Five years is the average, but consoles that sell well always last 6-8 years because why chance releasing hardware that might underperform when you have a console that's still selling like hotcakes?
@Nakatomi_Uk It's pretty much confirmed that PS5 is at least a year off if not longer since it has NOT been scheduled for release in the current fiscal year which literally just started.
So 12 months at least, not 12 months at most.
I'd say November 2020 since the system won't be releasing before May of next year and I don't recall any system besides the Sega Genesis ever releasing during the Summer months. At least I think it was? If not, scratch that lol. xD
@ApostateMage Western RPG's are typically hyper violent games with mediocre combat and a story shoehorned in, not exactly much quality there. @ShogunRok Also the vast majority of the games on this list aren't even RPG's they're action or adventure games FACEPALM.
I just spent my alloted spending money on Persona 5 and My Time At Portia $50 tatal and $1O on Rodea: The Sky Soldier for the Wii/WiiU. So it's safe to say I'll miss out on this month's flash-sale and possibly May's flash-sale as well.
@JJ2 It's more like BioWare grabbed a sleeping bag and decided to lay under the bus and now is defensive and pointing fingers when the bus plows them over.
@ShogunRok If you liked this game you'll love the second one! I gave the game a 7/10 at another website, but the sequel was given a 10/10. Are you going to be reviewing the sequel and the third game later this year? Excellent review btw!
@KingdomHeartsFan The thing is it wouldn't have been bad if not for the obvious shift away from traditional games. Way too many announcements were made for them to all have been PSVR games...
@Areus I prefer niche games, but as one of the majority who can't use VR I'm not happy that it feels Sony might be abandoning traditional PS4 games in favour of PSVR games that are as useless as cancer is to me and many others.
@jdv95 Agreed. There will never be enough people with sufficient speed AND reliable enough connection to make streaming viable over physical or even digital, at least not in our lifetimes.
@Quintumply There are worse things than download sizes such as 95% of all gamers being left behind if streaming only is already taking over. You guys all must live smack dab in metropolitan areas or wealthy high end areas if you don't get that dang near all gamers will be forced to quit...
You guys do realize the only way you get locked out of your digital purchases when PSN is being wonky is if you're stupidly sharing your account and your system isn't set as the primary system for your account...
@Cycologist Actually dual-layered Blu-Rays and triple-layered one's exist so Blu-Rays can hold up to 150 GB the only problem is that those multi-layered discs put a horrendous strain on the PS4's disc-drive...
@Matroska You won't lose your downloaded digital games when PSN shuts down, but you'll want to have your games backed up to a second HDD in case your main one dies, otherwise bye-bye games.
@carlos82 The difference is the install data is on-disc so for offline games you will always be able to download the game even after PSN is closed on PS4.

@Areus Yeah, but the PS3 version will suffice, though I will probably upgrade when the game gets discounted under $20.

@Rob_230 I rate it up there with Xenoblade Chronicles (Wii) and Star Ocean: Till The End of Time (PS2). The music is absolutely incredible!
