He looks like an alcoholic football manager, has been extremely anticonsumer in word and deed, when he could have struck a balance between appeasing shareholders and existing PlayStation owners but chooses not to.
That's a start.

Hopefully this is sending a message that current RRPs for games are overpriced, and that the remakes/remasters market is oversaturated.

The original and Wolf Among Us were their best games as far as I am concerned - and I'm a massive Monkey Island fan and loved the Sam & Max and Back to the Future games.
Really hope they release it fully on disc though.

Always disagree with online trophies, since you have to pay to go online.

Playable Teaser? Bit cheeky.

@TrickyDicky99
Well you can't opt out of them, so might as well get something worthwhile out of it.
The person with ocd would probably play the game they didn't like to get 100% of the trophies.😁

@get2sammyb
It's great, with new clips popping up more frequently now, was watching Paul Daniels talking about the magic of coding his own burgler alarm, that would turn on a video player to scare off potential thieves earlier 🙄🤣

Hope not, could potentially lower the worth of my pristine PAL copy😁

@TrickyDicky99
They begrudgingly allowed deleting of trophies at 0% for people who wanted an accurate record of their gaming, had looked at a game and decided that it wasn't for them.
But some games have trophies that ping just for starting the game, and then if you don't want to play further into the game if you don't like it, you're stuck with it showing 1% or whatever.
It brings down the grade average on things like PS profiles for those of us who care about such things.

And yet they don't allow deleting trophies on games you've tried and don't want to go further with (some hit you with trophies just fer loading the damn thing) or probably the new PS platinum trials (no demos for peasants now)
Yet they still allow this which totally skews normal statistics.

Was wondering how long it would take for this to appear on here.
Total blatant rip off.

Oh great! Online multiplayer co-op alarm bells ringing, so much for them tying it into the original.

It's been terrible anyway, doesn't load shows, but the ads play perfectly.

@get2sammyb
Normal people could have foreseen this all straightaway.
There are too many people pushing stats they know as incorrect to greedy ignorant shareholders for short term gains.

@theMEGAniggle
Exactly, should have put in extraordinary planning measures to deal with that.

It's almost like these companies expected the lockdown numbers to continue after it ended!

Predicted the see-through mode, but being able to definine the game area is a nice addition.

Origins got me interested in the series again, I had little interest in Odyssey and have stopped playing it for the far better collectathon that is Lego Skywalker Saga.
I've had no interest in touching Valhalla and this doesn't sound promising either.

Is the remake only there to remove stuff Bruce Straley can lay claim to?

@Th3solution
Clear the decks I suppose.
They've said there's no interest in revisiting the franchise, so I think it's just to make sure fans can access everything available.

I've had a few crashes to the menu, but nothing as bad as shutting the console down. In my experience it's the most problem free console certainly since the PS3 and maybe even the PSX.

Live service I'm immediately out.

@NEStalgia
I've honestly no problems if I don't overload the drives and delete and move regularly.
But then I jump between consoles, shows playing the the TV on a PC and various musical instruments as I'm easily distracted, but I'm never left without something to do in the meantime.😁

@Lovespuds
Yeah, the whole 'limited release' scene is very dodgy these days

@Keyblade-Dan
Sorry I meant to say if it gets ported to consoles.

A remake of a remake goes gold and still expecting patches, yeah that's not part of a continuing plan to make physical copies practically unplayable.
With that and the price gouging I don't know why more people aren't putting their foot down about this.

@NEStalgia
Yeah, a remote play install/delete function would be good using the PS app

@Keyblade-Dan
Well it's now clear it's a sequel, hopefully though, Ever Crisis will satisfy the people watching a straight remake.

Hope Forespoken's development has been a source they've used to expand on in terms of an open world.

@get2sammyb
And would be a real waste of talent if they're used to just copy things like Animal Crossing or Fortnite

@NEStalgia
Surely you (not you specifically) can just plan in advance and do something else while that's going on.

Nearly choked when I saw the prices, why bother buying these when you can get an ordinary external drive and swap games in and out?

@Mole17
Rhombus of Ruin had the first game included, it was a good bit cheaper than £69.99

Loved Kurushi!
Also love the album Kurushi by Salaryman, which I used to listen to around the same time, definitely worth a listen to if you haven't heard it before.

I'd normally pick a new one over a remake, but Rebirth pips it for me as I'm not a fan of the High Fantasy FFXIV aesthetic.

Final Fantasy VII
Regenesis

Final Fantasy for me, no interest in Dragon's Dogma. That said it's only 10 mins long, so unless it's 5 2 minute trailers that are all awesome with a surprise release date for something big, I think it's going to disappoint.
Edit: A 'World of Final Fantasy' sequel would be nice though.

The whole reason it came about was because SquareEnix (or soft if it was pre merger) shared a building with Disney and it all came about in a conversation in the lift with two of the top executives saying "wouldn't it be good to have a game with Disney characters and Final Fantasy characters?"
So that's EXACTLY the basic concept behind the series.
Nomura saying it wasn't is just him saying that he doesn't want to do it as it interferes with his convoluted vision.

@Kooky_Daisuke
I paid £38 which I thought was a fair price under the circumstances, just wish it had a physical release.

'Great' wee game, emphasis on the 'wee' considering its price point on release

@Postie85
Can't speak for others, but I clicked because it was a poll.

First game was ok, but had no interest in a sequel regardless of the story.

@WallyWest
Similar idea, you find something and it's a type of item/weapon/armour of varying power, usually something you've seen before.
Bring back the days of working hard on side missions to get a definitive upgrade.

The start of the loot box nonsense, but aside from that it was great.
Started Odyssey afterwards, couldn't get into it, no interest in Valhalla at all after that.

Oddly a bit disappointed by the lack of VR2 info, but overall very solid, and loved FFXVI and while I'm disappointed by the release date, I think they mean to stick to it.

@theheadofabroom
The point was if enough people start buying into the subscription model it would hasten the inevitable move to streaming terminals.
They would then have everything streaming including PS5 games with the money saved from having those units instead of chip heavy consoles.

Well If they can force production now, and lose a bit of money but get enough people on board PlayStation+ Platinum then I guess a future PS5 pro or PS6 streaming unit could cut back on costs and production of chips.
I'd hate to see that though

@PhhhCough
If enough people sign up for PS+ platinum then I'd say that's very likely, that's why I hope it fails.

Another reason for me not to bother with it, I'm regularly offline for more than a week.
