@get2sammyb I get what they try to do and I didn't want go sound negative, it's just I would personally prefer if the character faces, especially Peter and MJ, were more comic accurate.

@rjejr Releasing a new model a couple of days after this would alienate those who bought it though.
@hitmanfan47 I would love an updated slim model. I held back buying a second PS5 even though it was heavily discounted here due to those rumours

@KaijuKaiser I get that but thise characters are iconic and those designs seem different not only with how they are depicted in comics but also different from the first Spider Man game? I may be mistaken but the face models seem changed to me

Those faces are bad and somewhat away from the comic counterparts? Or it is just me?

So I guess this means no slim PS5 model until October?

The PS5 OS is still overwhelming and the games still do not update automatically if they are not in the home screen...
Moreover, you STILL cannot back up PS5 saves...

I have beaten this game in Steam Deck. It was fairly cheap! It is a bizarre game with good humor and pop culture references. I enjoyed it, although I loked Cosmic Star Heroine more.

I have the Game Boy game, it is basically a port of the NES game. However, I preferred the SEGA versions. SEGA stills owns those games, I don't see them included in this collection.

Wow, the first hour of the game does not good a good job of selling the game I think.

Anyway, I still enjoyed it this game. If you enjoy a good laugh, try playing the game offline from the PS4 disk without any patches. The game is hilariously bad without the first day patch. It plays in constant slow motion and has a massive input lag.

It is still on Steam. Apparently in PS4 it was published by Square Enix and was delisted after the contract ended.

It was a cool game but it had all the bad and good of the "Cinematic Platformer", very good visuals but junky controls. Still, this is not a novel idea, a Game Boy game or something like that. Why does it need Kickstarter and such a big amount in short time? I may have used Kickstarter to fund my projects also...

@BAMozzy I 100% agree. The only think physical has as an advantage it the sense of "ownership". You can sell or gift it etc. Most of the times a disk game is unplayable in an offline system which is one of the points of "videogame preservation".

The examples are countless. I have three PS4 physical copies of FF15 and not a single one has all the content in. The PS4 version of Callisto Procotol is full of bugs and the game plays in slow motion (!), Sonic Origins lacks the Plus content which is offered via ... a code, FF16 has a bug that shuts down the console.

As for the topic should I get a second PS5 for 450€ or wait for the new model? Surely though if I have bought my first PS5 with FF16 only to have a new model only one month later would anger me.

The games are OK, I always wanted to try Alan Wake, but I only have Plus because of cloud saves, I rarely play online or download the free games.

I am huge Final Fantasy fan it is my favourite series of all time. That said I didn't get a copy yet, I am traveling for work and PS5 is not a console you can put in a backpack. I hope everyone enjoys it, hope I will avoid the spoilers till I play it.

Preorder on Superstars, reminder that Origins Plus is in stores, Frontiers DLC... Lots of stuff to be somewhat excited about.

What I would personally love, that obviously is not going to happen, is another update in Origins Plus that adds the Master System games, the Knuckles game and the 16bit versions of Spinball and 3D.

Of course you need the power of next gen to play those old games. There is no way the games would run the the PS4. You need the cutting edge technology of the Switch and the SSD of the PS5 to play them.

I don't care for Spidey and Alan Wake, I am ready to return to Shadow Moses and in Russia with brand new trophies to collect. We don't have details yet on price and a possible physical version?

Edit: Just realized that my newest platinum trophies are in FF Pixel Remaster, Crisis Core and Sonic Origins... That's clearly not why I got a PS5 for but I always end up returning to the classics...

It looks cool. However, I know I sound like a broken record but why doesn't Sega simply port Outrun 2 to modern platforms?

@MidnightDragonDX The DLC code worked with my original digital version by the way. It surely kind of defeats the purpose of a physical version

I already have the game. The preorder copy arrived way early. The sound emulation has issues in the Game Gear games but playing as Amy is cool.

By the way the Plus content is a code in the box, it is not included in the disk!!!!

There goes my hope that the physical version would be bug free.

It happens. I already have the copy of Sonic Origins Plus. Many people got the new Zelda days earlier. You cannot control all retailers everywhere!

Can you talk about your former job and bosses that casually on Twitter though?

In any case I look forward to the game.

@mariomaster96 I meant in the default settings. In the default settings there is some sort of stutter in some indoor locations. I still have a blast though!

It is strange to see all those games that were only possible in the super mega force PS5 SSD playable on the micro SD of the Steam Deck. Final Fantasy 16 and Rebirth will be the next ones!

On a more serious note I love the Steam Deck and looking forward to more games. I played the Last of Us back in the PS3 but I don't really want to play it again. Now I replay on my Deck FF7 Remake, one of my favorite PS4 console exclusives. Performance is hit or miss but I have a blast taking Cloud and the rest of the gang on the road!

I love Ace Attorney. To be honest Apollo Justice is the weakest game in the series with unresolved plot points. But Spirit of Justice is a very good sendoff to the Ace Attorney cast and brings almost everything full circle, I love it and highly recommend it.

Just tell me the release date and the price! I will get the games day one.

@get2sammyb Isn't this different than the battle pass that has the DLC characters? I remember when I tried to buy the game it had an 100€ version with some pass with more characters. Or was this supposed to be a season pass?

It may be just me but the only multiplayer games I play are fighting and those very causally, I mostly stick to Single Player.

Capcom's confusing DLC method continues. In a year we will have the same mess as SF5.

I am not that a fan of Persona, I hate silent protagonists. That said I have played persona 1 up to 4 and I don't get why fans don't like The Answer that much. In any case, as others mentioned, Atlus will re re release P3 FES Remake to get more money from the fanbase.

Edit: In P3 if you go to have 2 girlfriends the one may catch you with the other in the mall and you can simply lie without any consequence! Not messed up at all!! In P4 you can have a harem without anyone noticing or caring and without any consequence. I think they should change this in the Remake

@MustachioFurioso I thought they were around the 20€ mark and you also have Microsoft exclusives, however few they are. The problem with me is that Cloud Gaming is not available with Game Pass in my region and, therefore, I cannot use the sub in the Steam Deck.

@SplooshDmg It is impossible to use USB to transfer PS5 only saves, only PS4. You also cannot move a save from PS5 to PS4 in cross buy games. If you could do it, I would have canceled PS Plus.

I get that they are afraid that you will use saves to hack the console but come on...

@ThomasHL From what I can understand they may have somewhat moved a part of the focus from casuals to sell PC games pass. There are a lot of potential customers out there.

To be honest I only pay PS Plus for cloud saves. I have had Game Pass from time to time.

I think Microsoft said that you will surely run out of people to sell subs to. So, after a while you may upgrade from a PS4 to a PS5 but you are not a new sub potential customer.

You can either try to increase revenue by tiers, like Sony, or try to go after PC users, like Microsoft.

I never thought Square would be casually trolling Final Fantasy fans in a daily basis. Or this is some kind of bad joke?

To be honest PSVR2 seemed like a PS Vita situation from the start, good hardware but not much first party content that will lead not selling good. I know that it has cutting edge hardware but it costs almost as much as a Steam Deck and a Series S combined. And if you don't already have a PS5 the cost in increases a lot. Therefore, I personally have no interest in one.

@Mad001 I think that both PS4 and PS5 don't play Compact Disks in a hardware level.

So, if we buy the games they will make sequels... Shocking!

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is 60 on Steam and 80 in PSN. I guess Green Man Gaming, Fanatical etc. will have it for preorder cheaper.
Also, and that is a literally question, how games that were possible only on the super fast PS5 SSD are now playable in mechanical drives and in the Steam Deck's SD card?
Seems like Final Fantasy 16 is now the one and only true PS5 exclusive.

@Impossibilium Thanks, seems that I just miss the Season 5 characters. I may get this on a discount or see if I have enough fight money.

Fighting games have moved to this "games as a service model". Mortal Kombat 11 was one of the worst examples with characters available only if you preorder, a bad in game money system, expensive characters from other media that the fan base did not want etc. At least they gave the PS5 upgrade for free.

Semi off topic, I went to check SF5 DLC characters that I may have missed only to see a total chaos!!! There are many versions of the game, tons of dlc that I have no idea what they are and they are so much that makes not wanting to bother to check more. I hope SF6 won't end up like this.

@get2sammyb Cool thanks!

@get2sammyb Thanks for the review! If am on PS5 can I play with friends that only have a PS4? Also, have you tried the game on the PS4?

@siofwolves Depends on where you live really. If you include shipping, I cannot find FF16 less that 70 euros.

@KidRyan It is a Peace Walker lite with a simplified recruit mechanism. I really enjoyed the story in Portable Opps. The story was not written by Kojima so some fans say it is not canon but it doesn't really contradict anything.

It is buffling if the collection is a PS5 exclusive. The classic games should be available in PS4, PC, Switch etc. That said I am a huge fan of the series and looking forward to play them again.

@Stormageddon Yikes, this is as much as a Steam Deck (410 € here). If this is indeed the case Project Q is dead on arrival.

I see people asking ask for Vita 2 but come on, as much as I would also love it, nobody would buy it and Sony would quietly abandon it.

A device like Project Q would make some sense if it was cheap and you could so cloud of 5g streaming or some sort of direct connection, without wifi, like the Wii U or the Vita.

@KidRyan Yes, it is very possible since there is not PS4 or PS5 version. Personally though I hate this game and I would very much prefer Portable Opps.

No cloud streaming or streaming via 5g network... It looks way bad though, no looking as iconic as the Vita. I am waiting for the price. One could argue that the Steam Deck makes those devices irrelevant, although I have not tried PS4/PS5 streaming on my Deck yet.

@OrtadragoonX I think they will base it on the HD collection that includes the MSX games.

It would be cool if the ports of the older games could be on PS4, Switch and PC/Steam Deck also.

Vol.2 Could have MGS4, Peace Walker and updated versions of the two MGS5 games...

Final Fantasy is my favourite game series of all time. That said I was hoping that 11 and 14 would not be main games since I have never played them and I will probably never play them. Sounds bizarre not having played main games from your favourite series.

@GeneJacket To be fair the discussion shifted from this but what I and some others said still stands. Guest characters from unrelated IPs are not needed in Mortal Kombat and a lot of fans don't want them since MK has enough diverse and iconic characters on it own. So, a part of the fans prefer characters from the series backlog and not guest characters.

@WallyWest I never really liked the Suicide Squad characters but it may just be me. The concept was interesting though. I keep forgetting that there is a second Suicide Squad film, I may have to watch it. I have watched the first two Guardians of the Galaxy films. I don't like them that much. I have not read the respective comics so I don't know if this is present in the source material but in comic book I don't like them being a joke when the characters are constantly joking and they don't treat a serious situation as a serious situation. The Avergers films, the Snyder films, the recent Batman movie didn't have this issue and I enjoy them a lot more. I don't like this joking/self parodying/satirical stuff.

Amazon Prime is not available in my country but, starting from when Amazon released Lord of the Rings, they offer only the video service at a lower price. I am not sure if they have all their shows available since they slowly translate and add them. I may have to check them.
