@kyleforrester87 Yeah casual audience was probably the wrong word. But looking back 15 was light on RPG elements. I presume alot could be down to which era you got into final fantasy. Me being the PS1 era when I got into the series clouds my opinions on other eras
I am glad I am not the only one not feeling this entry. Even from the first trailer something didn't sit right with me for this game. Doesn't seem like a final fantasy game to me maybe they are trying to appeal to the more casual audience.
I think the problem for me is Sony have been terrible about there first party line up for 18 months now so you get a state of play like this and you just come away with a feeling of " is that it?" I don't know if it is because Sony have nothing at the moment apart from Spiderman 2 which they haven't bigged up themselves or there playing silly games because of the Activision deal. It just seems Sony first party output is struggling especially when there are rumours of 10 live service games as well! I loved my PSVR 1 and have over 40 games for it but they have done nothing to convince me to buy the PSVR 2. It would just need a 10 second snippet of Astro bot or blood and truth 2 show that there is something cool coming.
As far as I know they haven't fixed the broken ps5 trophies since the ps5 version launched 8-9 months ago. Used to play this alot but since it went free 2 play not played a single game.
Does the end of the video say we are going to refund you for all the paid content we took away from players? I am gonna guess it will end with give us more money.
Sure these changes will lose players rather then gain players. There model is so messed up. darude it’s not just new players it’s returning players they have so many different currencies and systems it’s hard to start or go back to it. There onboarding is terrible.
What's the betting the survey was sent to people who predominitley play COD skewing the results in Sony's favour. Seems a thing that could be easily manipulated.
DMC 5 showing that not every action game needs souls like combat wish more developers would take note. Sayonara wild hearts has been on my radar for a while so get to try that.
@LordAinsley It was a lot more popular before there live service plan took paid content away from everybody I have spent over £150 on destiny 2 I can today only play about 2% of what I purchased.
Do like a bit of digital pinball now and then and never played this. It has an everybodys golf table so definitley on my radar. Has the game been updated graphically or is it still the original psp game?
I am surprised I had only played 4 on that list. Do have 5 in my backlog to play and will pick up God of War at some stage. So had to rank the games I had played!
@johnny30 Thats what I was thinking a lot of these "glow ups" as push square likes to call them just make everything look darker. It seems this generation is darker/duller colours in the games. Maybe we should change it to dull downs instead of glow ups?
@Bobobiwan The vaulting thing is one of the worst things to happen. I spent over £100 on destiny 2 and expansions and can only play about 2% of what I purchased. Its crazy how Bungie seem to avoid backlash for it!
I enjoyed the game but did become a slog for the platinum way to many collectibles. Least it was something a little different to your usual shooter and action games.
I love my VR but can't justify that price especially with no b/c. It would mean having two lots of headsets and controllers which take up space. Sony's marketing team since the ps5 has been abysmal how there was not a showcase with this news in is beyond me.
Poor selection for me personally but has been good to me the last few months so cant complain. But if true they have once again devalued premium by giving away Lego harry potter in essential.
I am confused have they delisted the game on the PS store and removed the Ps5 patch if not then anybody that hasnt played it can still play it. I havent played it (will attempt to at some stage its in my ever growing backlog!) and I think its a complete waste of resources
@Th3solution I do wonder what there plan is they lost a lot of customers when the vaulted old paid for content myself included. And as you said its very hard for new players and veterans like myslef to start anew or restart playing again due to the ever changing currencies, season and everything else. Think the do have a solid playerbase 1million plus but struggle to see how they can increase that by a significant amount.
@Ypmud I cant play anything for the £100+ I have put into destiny 2 because they removed it all! all I can do is crucible maybe one mission from what I have read maybe VOG but not sure how you get geared up for that when you cant do anything. It would be different if Destiny was a subscription but its not. You have just proved my point that people will blindly defend Bungie.
@TheCollector316 A little too late if they re-instated everything they took away would be a start but still wouldnt give Bungie any more of my money. It still baffles me how people give Bungie a pass for what they did.
Would like to see a list of what games have been released under the embracer group in the last year. Do wonder if they are just hording IP at this point.
Does seem to me with all these studios there output is severly lacking at the moment. I can't think of many games released under the embracer group this year.
Been burnt to many times before by his shows. With some refinements they wouldn't be to bad. As they are now they are just to long and to many random things that don't make any sense like awards for random games or The Rock promoting his energy drink.
@Fenbops Yeah Bungie deserves a lot of criticism but nobody should receive threats about it. It always feels to me Push Square are quick to praise Bungie but gloss over the fact they are one of the few publishers to take away content I have paid for and not a small portion about 99% of what I have paid for.
Looks cool then the dreaded words souls-like why does every action game have to be souls-like. So this generation is remakes, remasters, Sequels and Souls-like!
This is good news did wonder if Microsoft were trying to buy Sega as a lot of SEGA games were getting pulled from Now so this eases some worries for me.
My personal opinion on the whole thing is that it wasn't needed seems a waste of talent to be honest. I do feel this gen is all about remakes/remasters and sequels I doubt we will see many new IP's this generation. A lot of the discussion would be moot if they priced it reasonably. But I can see why they are doing it as from talking to a few people and reading the comments there is enough people that will buy it at full cost because its TLOU
@ShadowofSparta I still don't understand why there hasn't been a state of play for TLOU and God of War. I don't think I have seen any gameplay of God of war which seems strange unless it will spoil a big reveal like you dont play as Kratos

Re: PS Plus Essential, Extra Games for March 2023 Announced Early
Essential selection poor for me this month. Good additions for extra but played most of them. I liked Ghostwire and immortals is a bit of a hidden gem
Re: Poll: Did You Love Sony's Latest State of Play Livestream?
Personally thought that was quite poor as we haven’t heard from Sony for a while. Still no indication of what there studios are working on

Re: Bungie Has Multiple Unannounced Projects in Development with Sony's Support
If Bungie is the main lead on live service stuff for Sony then the live service games are doomed as Bungie are easily the worst in the business at it.
