I totally understand the desire to see what new things are coming from Sony studios and so forth, but I have a huge backlog as it is. There is always something to play while we wait.
@CWill97 I loved Dynasty mode as well and importing draft class into Madden. I think I enjoyed the offseason in both more than playing the weekly football games.
Love to hear about demos. Can't wait to check it out myself. If you prefer physical I suggest you buy the game sooner than later. Some NIS games, like Trails, seem to sell out and are hard to find later. That's been my experience.
I don't see TLOU being finished with the TV show doing well. Naughty Dog doesn't HAVE TO do a new IP either when Jak and Daxter has been MIA for so long.
@Martijn87 I know it's near impossible nowadays but I greatly prefer game announcements that are followed by a closer release date. Nintendo does this sometimes as well. Finding out a game is 2+ years away does nothing for me.
Looks nice, but free to play? Will have to wait and see on this one. Free to play isn't all bad but I would pay for the game stand alone if it was good.
If you prefer physical, don't wait too long because even the standard version might go out of stock. Trails of Reverie came out last summer and I cannot find a physical PS5 copy anywhere at retail. I think that's pretty standard for some NIS games though.
I recently traded my PS4 in for a PS5 when there was a special deal directly from Sony. I got a new PS5 Slim with drive and Spidey 2 code for $300. If not for this deal I would have probably kept waiting, but I am glad I did it.
If people want to stay on PS4 longer big woop. I wonder what the news reports and comments would be if Sony and publishers made more of the current PS4/PS5 games PS5 only. Probably not too happy.
I know it's a pipe dream, but I would like to see any of the good but expensive PS2 games available. Shadow Hearts, Haunting Ground, Steambot Chronicles, Wild Arms Alter Code F, etc.
@get2sammyb @trev666 I bought a bunch of the PS2 games that they made for PS4. So the emulation is really bad and they probably will stay that way? Are they any better on PS5?
Should be interesting with all the changes to the NCAA and college football. It's been almost 10 years since the last one. Hopefully it's a good game for people that want to play it. But then again it's EA and I assume they have exclusive rights like they have with Madden?
@Atreus97 Right, most of us are not investors and don't care. We're not in an era where a games company like Sony can go belly up and you're stuck with a console and no new games.
An Assassin's Creed in historical Japan is cool. Surprised there are two playable characters though. I wonder if you will be forced to play as both or can you choose? I will probably prefer to be the Shinobi most of the time.
Sorry I can't help but be cynical anytime someone uses the "I'm a huge fan" phrases when trying to instill confidence. Doesn't mean it will be good or bad, but who knows if they are truthful.
No predictions, but I am looking forward to learning more about what's coming. In the meantime there are plenty of other games to discover and wait for.
Please no, especially for the mainline games. The games need time to cook and that has worked thus far. When a Persona 6 teaser drops fans will be hyped.
AI could be used to help developers, reduce the likelihood of crunch or being over worked. But obviously it wouldn't end there with who is in charge at these big companies.
I get it if you want to see another game in a first party franchise, like Sly Cooper or something, but first vs third party, good games are good games.

Re: Black Myth: Wukong's Physical Editions Won't Have Actual Discs at Launch, Just Digital Codes
Indeed this is pointless. If they plan to make discs when they can ship them, just delay the physical edition.

Re: Many, Many More Major Xbox Games Are Being Plotted for PS5
I'd love a Fable Collection and would also go for Forza Horizon.
Re: There's a Damn Good Reason to Buy Astro Bot Physically on PS5
I generally prefer physical anyway so this is a sure buy for me. Can't wait to play it.

Not my kind of game at all but I don't want to see it fail.
Re: Halo 1 Remaster Being Considered for PS5, New Report Claims
I really only want a Fable Remastered Trilogy Collection on PS5. Maybe one day.
Re: Feature: Predict Summer Game Fest 2024 with Our 20 Question Quiz
Why does he say anime in his events? Is he a big fan or does he use it out of context?
Re: Square Enix Drops OG Octopath Traveler, Available Now on PS5, PS4
Sweet. Hopefully people that missed it will dive in. Hoping for a physical copy too.
Re: Batman: Arkham Dev Allegedly Enlisted to Work on Hogwarts Legacy After Suicide Squad Flop
Why is a new version needed already? And more importantly, why can't Avalanche Software do it on their own? Let Rocksteady focus on something else?
Re: EA Sports College Football 25 Looks Like the Best PS5 American Football Game in Ages
@CWill97 I loved Dynasty mode as well and importing draft class into Madden. I think I enjoyed the offseason in both more than playing the weekly football games.
Re: Talking Point: What Are Your PS5 Predictions for Summer Game Fest 2024?
Why should we get anyone's hope up about anything at all? Lower your expectations so you are not disappointed.
Re: Just Cause Developer Avalanche Announces Closure of Two Studios, Layoffs
Sorry to hear that. Avalanche also developed Renegade Ops for PC, PS3 and X360. A great vehicular combat game published by SEGA.
Re: Trails through Daybreak Demo Out Now, Progress Carries to the Full RPG
Love to hear about demos. Can't wait to check it out myself. If you prefer physical I suggest you buy the game sooner than later. Some NIS games, like Trails, seem to sell out and are hard to find later. That's been my experience.
Re: PlayStation Studios: All Sony First-Party Developers and What They're Working On
Time to refresh the story and the comments. 2018, really?
Re: Astro Bot Is the 'Biggest' Game Team ASOBI Has Ever Made
Looks incredible. Cannot wait.
Re: Naughty Dog Won't Be 'The Last of Us Studio Forever', Says Neil Druckmann
I don't see TLOU being finished with the TV show doing well. Naughty Dog doesn't HAVE TO do a new IP either when Jak and Daxter has been MIA for so long.
Re: Reaction: PS5 Livestreams Are No Longer Speaking to the Fans Who Built the Brand
@Martijn87 I know it's near impossible nowadays but I greatly prefer game announcements that are followed by a closer release date. Nintendo does this sometimes as well. Finding out a game is 2+ years away does nothing for me.
Re: Astro Bot Looks Absolutely Glorious, Lands on PS5 This September
Definitely getting it. Glad we don't have a long wait.
Re: Ballad of Antara Offers 'High Fidelity' Free-to-Play RPG Action on PS5 in 2025
Looks nice, but free to play? Will have to wait and see on this one. Free to play isn't all bad but I would pay for the game stand alone if it was good.
Re: Open World Martial Arts RPG Where Winds Meet Announced for PS5
Looks pretty nice so far. Will wait for more info.
Re: PS5 Platformer Astro Bot Will Have 80 Action-Packed Levels
Looks so good. Day 1 buy for me. A flying PS5 console. Will we see a PS2 or PS1 ship in the game?
Re: Big Trails through Daybreak Demo Drops a Month Before Release, Progress Carries Over
If you prefer physical, don't wait too long because even the standard version might go out of stock. Trails of Reverie came out last summer and I cannot find a physical PS5 copy anywhere at retail. I think that's pretty standard for some NIS games though.
Re: PS5, PS4's Brand New PS2 Emulator Features Up-Rendering, Rewind, Quick Saves, More
@get2sammyb "the (PS2) emulator (on PS4) was a bit of a disaster and the platform holder eventually pulled support"
Can you elaborate? Were the issues mostly performance and bugs on certain / all games?
Re: Legendary Phantom Thief Arsene Lupin Plots Stylish Heist on PS5, PS4
Not to be confused with his grandson Lupin III.
Re: Sly Cooper, Tomb Raider, Star Wars Revealed as Surprise PS2 Games on PS Plus Premium
@get2sammyb I hope the new emulator does a good job with these. Hopefully Digital Foundry or someone will release a video on it.
Re: Story-Focused Indie Game Until Then Hits PS5 on 25th June
Looks very interesting. Gives me anime vibes with the setting and story.
Re: Infinity Knights: Xross Is a Co-Op Action RPG Inspired By 90s Classics, Coming to PS5
Looks very cool, nice pixel art. Will wait and see.
Re: Ubisoft Pirate Game Skull and Bones Gets Trial Version, Price Cut as Player Count Reportedly Plummets
Yeah, pass. Would rather try out Sea of Thieves or play AC Black Flag.
Re: Rise of the Ronin Update Coming This Week, Adds Missions and Features
Most people I respect online enjoy the game. Getting it at some point.
Re: Interview: Capcom on Why Monster Hunter Stories Is Finally Coming to PS4
I wish we could get both games physical on PS4 in the US.
Re: Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered Earns Physical Edition, Out in September
The standard will probably be fine for me although I wish it had an instruction manual. I miss those things.
Re: A Lot of PS4 Owners Have Yet to Upgrade to PS5
I recently traded my PS4 in for a PS5 when there was a special deal directly from Sony. I got a new PS5 Slim with drive and Spidey 2 code for $300. If not for this deal I would have probably kept waiting, but I am glad I did it.
If people want to stay on PS4 longer big woop. I wonder what the news reports and comments would be if Sony and publishers made more of the current PS4/PS5 games PS5 only. Probably not too happy.

Re: Microsoft Leadership Reportedly Want No 'Red Line' Stopping Xbox Games Coming to PS5
Fable for me. Ports of the first 3 would be nice and the new one, whenever the H that is coming.
Re: EA Sports College Football 25 Kicks Off on 19th July for PS5
Should be interesting with all the changes to the NCAA and college football. It's been almost 10 years since the last one. Hopefully it's a good game for people that want to play it. But then again it's EA and I assume they have exclusive rights like they have with Madden?
Re: Reaction: Why You Shouldn't Worry Too Much About PS5's Year-on-Year Decline
@Atreus97 Right, most of us are not investors and don't care. We're not in an era where a games company like Sony can go belly up and you're stuck with a console and no new games.
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Dated for 15th November in First Trailer
@Korgon Good to hear you can mostly play as the character of your choosing. Thanks.
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Dated for 15th November in First Trailer
An Assassin's Creed in historical Japan is cool. Surprised there are two playable characters though. I wonder if you will be forced to play as both or can you choose? I will probably prefer to be the Shinobi most of the time.

Re: UK Sales Charts: Indie Hit Sea of Stars Breaks into a Top 10 Full of Juggernauts
Eager for my copy of Sea of Stars to arrive, which should be pretty soon. Meanwhile, are we still waiting for Chained Echoes from First Press Games?
Re: Sony Committed to Better First-Party Games, 'Richer' Experiences, More PS5 Users
No predictions, but I am looking forward to learning more about what's coming. In the meantime there are plenty of other games to discover and wait for.
Re: Vague Sly Cooper PS5 Game Rumours Debunked
I know it's not easy, but maybe we should just stop paying attention to rumors. All they seem to do is get our hopes up before they are dashed.
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows the Actual Name of AC Red, Reveal This Week
Looking forward to getting more details.
Re: Rumour: SEGA Wants Persona to Be an Annual Franchise Alongside Like a Dragon, Sonic
Please no, especially for the mainline games. The games need time to cook and that has worked thus far. When a Persona 6 teaser drops fans will be hyped.
Re: Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE Gets an Updated 'Plus' Version on PS5 in October
Good to hear the game is coming to more systems.
Re: There's a 'Real Hunger' for AI to Make Game Dev More Efficient, Says EA Boss
AI could be used to help developers, reduce the likelihood of crunch or being over worked. But obviously it wouldn't end there with who is in charge at these big companies.
Re: Rumour: Ubisoft Is Going All-In on Assassin's Creed with Black Flag Remake, Another Remake, Co-op Multiplayer Games, and More
I'm most interested in AC Red. Black Flag remake makes sense. Otherwise I think they could be overdoing AC.
Re: PS5 Fans Mostly Happy with Sony's Third-Party Deals, But PlayStation Studios Need to Step Up
I get it if you want to see another game in a first party franchise, like Sly Cooper or something, but first vs third party, good games are good games.
Re: Announced as a Switch Exclusive, Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE Is Coming to PS5 After All
What? You just never know about these exclusives, do you? We still have no Dragon Quest Treasures or Rune Factory 5 on PS5.
