@1UP-HUSKY The demo discs were absolute game changers growing up. At a time when I really only got new games at Xmas or birthdays, having something new to play every month was such a huge deal.
This is actually what I wanted them to do, but they've got to set guidelines for the art publishers use. The HoYoverse stuff works really well in this context IMO.
(I also think devs should be able to change the icons)
@RiverGenie Yes, but that's subjective isn't it. You're of course entitled to your opinion, but to act like Kojima's games don't have gameplay is just not true.
@Bobobiwan Why not just buy them when you're ready to play them, though? Even with Sony's games (which don't get discounted much anymore) you could still save £10-£20 by waiting.
@anoyonmus @Keyblade-Dan Devotion is amazing, but in the interview I did with them, linked in the article, it just seems like they were burned by the entire experience.
I doubt it'll ever get ported, despite being fantastic.
I mean, I think stuff like this just ends up being an investment, which kinda defeats the fun of it. Like, with these kind of numbers being thrown around, I wouldn't even want to take it out of its box. These will be worth easily $10k in a few years if they're in mint condition.
I managed to pre-order the DualSense, but I'm already wondering whether I should use it.
I updated the article a bit just to add some context because I do feel like that was missing from the original piece. My bad — it's been quite busy today!
I'm not really sure I understand the crazy backlash to this. I agree it's sneaky (I said as much in the subheadline) but realistically Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered is going to sell for $50 when it launches. This makes the game and $10 upgrade $50.
If you already own the game, which millions upon millions do, then you're only being charged $10 for the new version.
While I agree quietly increasing the price isn't the best look, it's really not that outlandish. Especially when you consider there are many other publishers and platform holders that would just ask you to pay $50 for the remaster without offering an upgrade path.
"Imagine if the new main character of Ghost of Yotei, Atsu, brutally murders Jin with a mastercrafted samurai golf club. The internet would hate that too."
@Boxmonkey She's got her tattoo, though? In fact, if you look at the scene where she's playing the guitar, you can see it's bandaged up (likely because she's just got it done).
(Also, isn't the whole point of the story meant to be about how her obsession does make her unlikeable?)

Re: PLAY, the Last Bastion of PlayStation Print Media, Has Reached Its Final Issue
Such a shame! OPM was my bible growing up!
Re: Microsoft Is Investigating Why Devs Are Prioritising PS5 Over Xbox
Isn’t it just as simple as games selling better on PlayStation?
Re: This Silent Hill 2 PS5 vs PS2 Comparison Will Blow Your Mind
I think the way they've altered the gameplay in this battle is really good. It changes the fight, but it still looks amazing.
Re: Mini Review: SUNSOFT Is Back! Retro Game Selection (PS5) - Archaic But Interesting 80s Bundle
@LuXifer I think it’s $9.99 actually!
Re: Sony Fights Scalpers in Japan By Demanding PS5, PS4 Playtime
I guess they could also look at how many Trophies you've got. A combination of playtime and Trophies would really weed everyone but fans out.
Re: Dragon of Dojima Roars in Official Like a Dragon: Yakuza Trailer
It looks very cheap, but a good time. I'll definitely be watching this!
Re: Sony Product Manager Urges PS5 Fans to 'Settle Down' Over Ads
Yeah seeing a lot of people saying it's already been fixed.
Re: PS5 Fans Want to Protest Against New User Interface Advertising
This is actually what I wanted them to do, but they've got to set guidelines for the art publishers use. The HoYoverse stuff works really well in this context IMO.

Re: Prospective PS6 Purchasers Would Consider a Portable Model
@McTwist Well, it should be able to run retro games and remasters as well!
Re: Prospective PS6 Purchasers Would Consider a Portable Model
@Sergo I suppose the theory is that games would easily be able to scale to the two devices. I trust Cerny but I understand your concern.
Re: Death Stranding 2 PS5 Will 'Come Out Next Year', Crazy Photo Mode Revealed
@RiverGenie Yes, but that's subjective isn't it. You're of course entitled to your opinion, but to act like Kojima's games don't have gameplay is just not true.
Re: Death Stranding 2 PS5 Will 'Come Out Next Year', Crazy Photo Mode Revealed
@Notzdarva Good thing the gameplay in Death Stranding is mostly excellent and very innovative, then.
Imagine making out like Kojima doesn’t design great gameplay with his resume.
Re: Death Stranding 2 PS5 Has the Wildest Photo Mode You've Ever Seen
The animations on the Photo Mode are absolutely insane.
Re: Underperforming XDefiant Pours More Misery on Embattled Publisher Ubisoft
@TrickyDicky99 PS5 sold incredibly well last year to be fair, though. It was always going to be down this year.
(But I agree, their inability to get the price down is becoming a problem.)
Re: Star Wars Outlaws' Rescue Roadmap Provides a Snapshot of Modern PS5 Gaming
@Ainu20 That's fair I suppose!

@anoyonmus @Keyblade-Dan Devotion is amazing, but in the interview I did with them, linked in the article, it just seems like they were burned by the entire experience.
I doubt it'll ever get ported, despite being fantastic.
Re: Kojima's Next Big PlayStation Game Physint Will Take Some Time to Complete
@adit365 To be fair, Kojima is pretty efficient. But yeah, you're probably not far off really.
Re: Kojima's Next Big PlayStation Game Physint Will Take Some Time to Complete
@TheElectroFunky He talks a little bit about OD in the interview. It sounds very unique.
Re: Poll: Did You Pre-Order a PS5 Pro?
@Blaze215 I mean, even for a fan site, not everyone will want it. Not everyone wanted the PS4 Pro either.
The attitude has definitely changed compared to when the system was announced.
Re: Genshin Impact's Rollerblading Waifu Will Bankrupt Whales on PS5, PS4
@RoomWithaMoose Just a bit!
Re: Random: Xbox Boss Complains About X Button After Being Handed PS5 Pad
@Frmknst I mean, the article says many times he's just messing around. It's all tongue in cheek!
Re: Date the Girls from Dead or Alive in Venus Vacation Prism for PS5, PS4
@Czar_Khastik I knew you'd be excited for this one! Great family time awaits! Unforgettable memories!
Re: Date the Girls from Dead or Alive in Venus Vacation Prism for PS5, PS4
😲😲😲
Re: Eve's Outfits Reveal Even More in Surprise Stellar Blade Update on PS5
@Dodoo Yes, it was announced at the State of Play this week.
Re: Eve's Outfits Reveal Even More in Surprise Stellar Blade Update on PS5
@Oram77 It was limited to Korea, but I was lucky enough to be gifted it at the launch event in Taiwan.
Re: Eve's Outfits Reveal Even More in Surprise Stellar Blade Update on PS5
@Oram77 Stunning soundtrack. I was lucky enough to get the vinyl.
Re: PS Store Confirms Lots More PS5 Pro Enhanced Games with New Tag
@JalapenoSpiceLife Obviously not. There's a full list here: https://www.pushsquare.com/guides/all-ps5-pro-enhanced-games
And expect many, many, many more to be announced before launch.
Re: PS Store Confirms Lots More PS5 Pro Enhanced Games with New Tag
Pretty exciting list of games there. I imagine this is going to just grow and grow and grow in the weeks before launch.
Re: PS5 Pro's 30th Anniversary Bundles Are Getting Flipped for $5,000
@Medic_alert Is that true? I thought the 500m PS4 Pro was worth more than that. Looks like it fetches around $700-$800 on eBay.

Re: The Last of Us PS5 Is Available Now with PS Plus Extra, Premium
"Imagine if the new main character of Ghost of Yotei, Atsu, brutally murders Jin with a mastercrafted samurai golf club. The internet would hate that too."
Yes, and it's ridiculous.
Re: The Last of Us Season 2 Debuts in 2025, Here's Your First Look
@Boxmonkey She's got her tattoo, though? In fact, if you look at the scene where she's playing the guitar, you can see it's bandaged up (likely because she's just got it done).
(Also, isn't the whole point of the story meant to be about how her obsession does make her unlikeable?)
Re: The Last of Us Season 2 Debuts in 2025, Here's Your First Look
My body is not ready!
Re: Horizon Zero Dawn PS4's Price Doubles After PS5 Remaster Announcement
@PsBoxSwitchOwner I'd recommend people grab it quickly before CEX catch on. That will almost certainly increase in the coming weeks.
Re: In the UK, PS5 Pro Has Already Completely Sold Out
@RubyCarbuncle You need a PSN account to pre-order so it's a little more difficult for bots. (Not saying it's not happening, though!)
Re: In the UK, PS5 Pro Has Already Completely Sold Out
Well, that didn't take long.
Re: The Last of Us PS5 Is Available Now with PS Plus Extra, Premium
@Keyblade-Dan I mean, to be fair, they did introduce a new character — and the Internet collectively cried about it.
Re: Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Looks Sublime on PS5
@Hairy_Potter No date, sadly.
Re: Capcom Peddling Pricey Monster Hunter Wilds Ultra Collector's Edition with Foldable Bike
@Matroska Underrated comment.
Re: PS5's Ghost of Yotei Triggers Social Media, Ex-Sony Exec Says 'If You Don't Like It, Don't Buy It'
@Americansamurai1 They're definitely out there!
Re: 'PS5 Pro Is a Really Good Investment,' Argue Tech Experts After Hands-On
@Maubari Our game database clocks PS5 at almost 2,000 games, and we definitely don't have everything listed.
That's a lot of video games!
Re: 'PS5 Pro Is a Really Good Investment,' Argue Tech Experts After Hands-On
@Nem I'm sure they will!
Re: Your Horizon Zero Dawn PS4 Progress Will Transition to PS5 Remaster
@Fiendish-Beaver You don't have to transfer your save if you want to start over.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Sony's State of Play for September 2024?
Ghost of Yotei looks absolutely ridiculous!
Re: Sony Appears to Leak Many Games from State of Play
@Americansamurai1 That's a good shout.
Re: Rumour: PS6 Could Span a Console and Handheld Device
@Enigk PS6 is definitely deep in development now, though, as confirmed by the Reuters article on Intel.
