You know they are unhappy when they I follow some on social media that just makes the anger so official these days or something like that.

You would think with this new update and this new welcome screen on PS5 they would have integrated the Stars stuff into it. It's an optional rewards program at the end of the day and you only get anything out of it if you spend a lot so I imagine most people who are benefiting from it spend what they earn get fairy quickly.

I can see why they would want to focus on something they actually care about more and when you take into account that Killzone games didn't actually sell that well compared to other Playstation exclusives as much as people on here seem to like the games more than Horizon they are in the minority.

@Steel76 why would they sell the IP to someone when Sony owns it and could just put a new studio in charge of developing a new game?

I get the appeal of all digital for many people especially when it comes to not wanting hundreds of games stacked up everywhere. The one thing I don't agree with is the price of digital games on console often costing more than the price of the physical games. When you no longer have to pay for the manufacturing, distribution and the wages of the people selling it to you then it makes no sense to sell it at the same price digitally. It is price gauging at the highest level. You can argue development costs and what not are pushing prices that high but the development costs of most movies are still higher and even if they perform poorly in cinemas they are usually still a third of the price on physical media. So until digital game prices on consoles come down I'll stick to shopping around for physical and off the next generation is all digital I will finally stop buying consoles unless the prices come down.

Well since I didn't own any of them it was a good month and I used to buy ever WWE game at one point in time but got so burnt out on them and haven't picked one up or played any since 2k19 and after the disaster that was 2k20 i figured it was a good place to stop. Taking me a while to get used to the new controls and while I am having fun playing it I wouldn't have paid for it separately. Two wrestling games in a few months though is something I wasn't expecting. I will be playing Dead Space soon though as I loved the original and it was one of those remakes I never got the urge to buy again.

If a game isn't on Game pass then some publishers and devs will think twice about porting their games to Xbox since many have said in the past that the development cost even for a game already finished for another system may be higher than any sales revenue will make them back especially if their game is considered more niche in western markets.

I find my biggest issue is switching between Nintendo and Xbox controllers more than anything as the on screen prompts for pressing certain buttons momentarily mess with my instincts. Never really had that issue with PlayStation controllers as it's shapes rather than letters and always confuses me why people think the X is a letter and not a cross when the other three are shapes. Although being around from the early days and actually reading what the symbols were I guess I assume others knew and the information wasn't lost to history.

I probably wouldn't have purchased it simply because I already own all three systems and a gaming PC and as long as I get to experience the games I want I am not to bothered about a few extra frames while also playing on the highest graphical mode. As long as I get the same gameplay experience in a playable form I don't really care if it is on better hardware or not. Some people seem to equate having more fun with a game to how powerful the hardware is they are playing it on. There are also not enough games that take advantage of this generations hardware in the first place to warrant an upgrade since many games are still coming out on last generation hardware still which is crazy to think a decade later.

I do love Final Fantasy 8 and don't agree with the hate it gets because it was so different at the time from other Final Fantasy games. The series has been pretty known for changing the way they look and play throughout the years and not just sticking to the same thing the previous games did and from 12 onwards each mainline entry would have a drastically different combat system. Saying that though 9 for me is a better game and the best of the generation. With 7 being just behind it.

Yes to all of the above

@Dragon83 I didn't say anything about the story being bad in fact it is good but the gameplay is clunky and it was back then too. Saying for it's time it was one of the best games is definitely not true as it wasn't it was just one of the early PS2 games released in the west so some people have fonder memories of it because there was more of a limited selection of RPGs at the time. I am not saying don't enjoy the game for what it is but it is not this classic that you are making it out to be and its faults have aged poorly like many early PS2 games have.

@Dragon83 no even at the time for a PS2 game the visuals were considered poor and unpolished I am not comparing it to modern stuff but games released at the time. You seem to have convinced yourself this is a modern complaint at this game when it was one that was given when it was released and I would know I played it back that and read the magazine reviews. It now being an old game doesn't mean those standards should be relaxed and it should be considered somehow better in hindsight.

@Dragon83 Even when it came out on the PS2 this game was considered like it was outdated and the problems he mentioned were all ones mentioned back then. No where in the review is it being compared to modern games either. So there is nothing unfair about it. An old average clunky game doesn't suddenly improve in quality because it is now considered old.

Well the term functional is a bit of a stretch as Sony seems to have just left it to sit there and slowly fall apart and rot. They haven't maintained it in anyway shape or form and it's a pain to navigate also many of the games that are still on there are now more expensive than if you were to track down a physical version if there is one available that is. It would at least give people incentive to use it if they still did discounts on the store but they haven't in several years and probably wont again even before it closes.

I remember my brother picking up Summoner back in the early days of the PS2 and always remember it looking awful for the time with overly long loading times. I would actually probably get into it more these days now my tastes in games have broadened. For those who don't know it was also made by Volition who went on to make the Saints Row series.

@VeldinX That is what I thought when I read the headline and even the article makes it seem like SquareEnix had something to do with the game when they simply just own the IP and did nothing with it since purchasing it.

It would be nice for all these older PS2 games to get switched over to the newer emulator at least.

While I have enjoyed some of the stories of life is strange games due to the fact they are completely narrative driven and in no way difficult I have never even considered paying full price for them and definitely wouldn't pay more than 50% extra to play only two of the chapters early.

In a way it's not surprising there is no resolution boost since they didn't do anything with the PS1 games. That being said PS2 games really do benefit from these things more than PS1 games and at least 1080p should have been an option.

Not sure why anyone expected this game to suddenly make an appearance after 15 years. Ubisoft themselves have probably just forgotten to announce it's cancelation.

@RBMango definitely over reaction of the year by some people over a Lego game.

The most I seen last night although not much was one or two Xbox fanboys declaring Microsoft should pull all upcoming games on PlayStation for this since it's coming to everything but Xbox.

When they said Switch I honestly thought I misheard them. What parallel dimension have we slipped into though?

What a strange world we live in that this is news. I'll be interested if it turns out to be true as it will definitely show that Microsoft will be more of a publisher going forward that just happens to also have hardware on the market.

@nessisonett it seems to be what many are doing due to it being years between their next actual new releases. I agree with you that their are also more games from the PS360 era that could probably benefit from a remaster over games that are natively backwards compatible on current hardware.

Being upset that a feature you can't really take advantage of anyway is no longer advertised on the packaging is really just complaining for the sake of it.

I used to play wrestling games all the time and honestly got burnt out on them just before WWE 2K20 got released and turned out to be a disaster. Haven't played any new ones since and avoided Fight Forever since it got a lot of negativity not just from gamers but wrestling fans. So I will probably give it a play at some point and will definitely be playing through SoR4 again since I last played it on Gamepass last year so I know I'll love it.

@UltimateOtaku91 I wasn't interested when I first seen it and I am even less interested in it now reading what kind of game it is.

@themightyant that was exactly what I thought when I seen it's name mentioned in the headline. It's as of they chose the most random game that has never been officially cancelled it's been "in development" for more than 15 years and if it ever sees the light of day you just know it will now never live up to expectations.

Surely the ram itself shouldn't be much of a factor in the overall size of the game and that comes more down to storage space and how large the file size is? Unless it's only referring to the size of what can be loaded into the immediate area in which 25% larger seems like quite a significant increase.

I think it's more that people get themselves over excited for these live streams than anything and have expectations of thing being announced that are huge all the time and they after then go online and get upset it didn't go their way. Big games and other things like hardware aren't restricted to getting announced at certain times anymore and it can happen at any point of the year. When the industry heavily relied on trade shows to make these announcements like E3 then you could usually expect something big but they don't do that anymore. Maybe I am just getting too old to care but I don't have any expectations anymore with these things as it seems getting over hyped about something that probably won't happen is a waste of energy.

Definitely has me interested probably more than anything else that was shown so I'll definitely be keeping an eye on it.

I was slightly interested when I seen the trailer but less so now maybe if it survives a few years and has a decent expanding story I'll try it but the case with many games like this is most of the story effort goes into the initial stuff and the later stuff is just generic grinding quests.

@STOBO just curious why shouldn't they report on it? Just because you didn't know it happened doesn't mean many others don't any that it hasn't be shared about too much to be kept secret. Them posting this article won't suddenly make it go away.

The Day After... it was all gone. Is a little bit suspicious that the guy has deleted any presence online too. Not sure what he was expecting after years of clearly fake trailers that promised a game that would never get made. Then when they finally release what is supposed to be early access then it is a completely different style of game that lacks most of what was promised and looks almost nothing like the early trailers. Makes you wonder in the 5 years they were developing it if they put as much effort into the game as they did making fake trailers they may have actually had something that resembled it at least visually.

I get it can be stressful making such a game on a tight deadline but it was a light hearted joke not actual criticism. Have game developers become so sensitive that they can't accept someone having a bit of fun at their expense? It doesn't have to be serious all the time.

I'll go with 31 December 2025 so still two years.

If only I had several hundred pound to spend on a gaming subscription up front rather than keep the money I do have the constant rising food prices and constantly high energy prices.

The biggest issue in a lot of this is parents link their cards in the first place to a child's account in the first place and leave them there so the child can start make impulse purchases and the touch of a button. All well and good putting these things in place but if they didn't have access to the money so easily to begin with it wouldn't be as much of an issue. Gift cards exist for a reason. Yes its not exactly good that children are constantly advertised digital stuff that unless bought then and there will be gone forever but limiting their ability to simply press by a button to buy also helps.

Honestly more shocked that Fifa 23 is still selling that much right before EA releases a new game saying that GTA5 is still selling better than most new releases too crazy when you consider its 10 years old.

@Tsushima I am pretty sure Nintendo fully owns it as even though it was in collaborations with Konami and Kojima they had nothing to do with the development and it was fully funded by Nintendo when then got Silicon Knights developing it.

@Savage_Joe You do know there will also be a third part too right? Should that also be in development for the PS4 even though it probable wont come out until 2028 at the earliest? They have made a decision to cut off developing their newest games on the last generation of hardware now the current hardware is more readily available.

The third part will be PS6 only at the amount of time it takes to develop the games now. Anyone complaining about this game not being on the PS4 are they really surprised? By the time that gets completed by around 2028 do the same people complaining about this not coming to PS4 expect the next part also to come out on it?

Since the early days of Sega doing any kinds of compilations when in comes to including any 8-bit Sonic games the have to my knowledge only ever done the Game Gear versions because there are all on that system so having them all display at the same resolution makes sense. Only 4 of the games listed were made natively for the Master System and one Sonic Blast was ported directedly from the Game Gear version in Brazil and as a result just displays a stretched full screen image not taking advantage of the higher resolution anyway.

Well since it is now pretty easy to get a PS5 they really should be focusing on that. It made sense when there was major supply issues but now that isn't really an problem. I often wonder how some games are even running on the base Xbox one when that still gets certain ports the one s versions seem bad enough. I am sure the ones actually porting them probably feel the same way as it makes their work look bad sometimes releasing a game on purposes that runs poorly.

Certain people would consider that stalking. Seems like some people have way too much time on their hands.

Seems like way too much work and effort to get a teaser for a cancelled game running.

I think my biggest nit pick is in order to earn coins from games purchased you have to actually have an active subscription and for the most part it seems that they are trying to make you buy specific games only to get any kind of rewards. Not really great at this point and launching it with no integration on consoles seems odd it's not like that haven't been working on it all for months. It's quite a disjointed experience as it is now.

@WadeIsInsane it's not a twist it's a simple and valid reason why there is no need to change it having a different meaning for some doesn't matter once the alternative meaning is explained. If it bothers people after an explanation like that then at the end of the day they just have to deal with it.

@WadeIsInsane no it's not understandable sorry the word simply has another meaning. It's not like the word is offensive in any way shape or form no matter what meaning used. So unless it was that kind of instance where it was seen as potential offense then that is the only time something should be changed. No need to change it simple because one country has a larger population so more of them could potentially be reading it.
