nice.... I like the game. Lots of time wasted on it though.

@Jacko11 True.... he is just whining and whining about some of these prices and make it sound these games are doom because of it without no actual data to back it up. He will probably buy the next God of War as cheap as possible while also demanding for greatness from it.

Like it or not, he (and everyone else) will have to get use to the price hike, because most AAA games (from all big publishers, not just Sony; people seem to think it is only Sony that's going to be doing this which is really naive) are going to start selling their only next-gen games at £70 by probably next year (the only reason games like Resident Evil Village are still £60 is because the game is still cross-gen, simple as that).

Also, the comment section is awfully full of whining (I guess is usual for a site like this, which is sad) just for a games spring sale. The game(s) I wanted didn't went of sale therefore I will just whine (like it matters).

Nice. I will probably play it again later.

Looking forward playing it. It looks great

Yea.... by the time this game is fixed, it will be too late.... new games and experiences will be in the horizon to even care.

@LordSteev it is all sunshine and rainbows until the inevitable future subscription price hike (à la Netflix)...

@UltimateOtaku91 Yes.... I'm pretty sure that's what is going to happen if the merger goes thru. Funimation and Crunchyroll will merge into one App and Website and you will have accessed to all their licensed anime catalog (sub and dub) for an x amount of euros/dollars (probably between the range of 7-15). They will more likely expand to other territories as well... That all sounds good to me to be honest.

I do believe physical releases will stay the same though.

P.S. Just in case, this all about streaming in the west. Sony isn't buying other anime producers such as Toho, Pony Canyon, Twin Engine, Infinite, etc.... Anime will still be produced the same way as before. This does not affect that.

For anime, I want a single place where I can watch all licensed anime... not multiple ones I have to pay separately. Tired of that...

I couldn't care less about the "monopolization" of anime streaming here in the west to be honest.

Like you said these UK charts are for physical sales only, so is isn't as it is a huge deal when it comes to software sales in the long and short run (especially when most of PS games are now bought digitally).

A nice chart to see that amount to little when it comes to overall sales if digital sales aren't accounted for.

@BrettAwesome they could have just easily given you nothing instead, after all, they don’t have any obligation to anyone to give 10 free games. Honestly, I can’t believe you’re whining about it because some of these games are for VR... C’mon man.

For some reason the game I want to play the most (right now) from that list is Enter the Gungeon.... never played it, looks fun.

Great numbers, especially for a new IP.

Congratulations to Sucker Punch.

@Machines I will buy it if I want too, whenever I want too... don't tell people what to do with their money.

It is as annoying as those telling others not to to watch the Black Widow movie on release date on Disney+ because they are charging $30. If want to pay that because I'm really looking forward to it, I will, simple as that...

Congratulations to the whole team at Housemarque (and other parties involved).

Looking forward to this game when it releases. Gameplay looks really fun.

That's cool... I guess. How is it that MS is way higher than Nintendo? Not that it mattes in the end.

Also, using the metascore of Persona 5 Royal is kinda.... I mean it is the same Persona 5 (with extra content). But again, whatever... it is what it is.

Great interview. Good job!

I'll wait for Tales of Arise instead...

I'm interested.... the whole making a game "full of dark jokes" is 50/50 for me. You got to make sure the humor is at least decent in order for this to work.... we will see.

@Shepherd_Tallon yea.... also MM isn't going anywhere, they are one of their most critical acclaim studios (even if their games don't sell as much as wanted).

Most of their games usually scored really high and are critically darlings. Recently, MM's Dreams got nominated (as well won) to a bunch of gaming awards. A day ago, Siobhan Reddy (MM's director) received the BAFTA Fellowship. They are probably in the works on a new project as well.

This is just a rumor.... Discord will probably go public.... or it could also be bought by Amazon instead (or anyone other party interested in this)... who knows...

Don't care anyways since I have never used Discord...

The "no comment" usually means yes, but not right know... Got to wait until the MS deal expires.

It looks great.

MLB The Show 22 will be probably the game were you see a more graphical overhaul of the game.

I'm pretty sure having to develop for two consoles know got in the way of it (in some way or another). Understandable too.

@SurvivorGirl1 sad to see users like you.... and their usual childish name-calling.

@wiiware No one is saying is the best game ever here... it just gets tiresome when users like you come to topics like this and get all upset and whinny about that game (even when it isn't even mentioned directly in the article).... that's the different. Same old, same old with you guys, which is sad really... move on, but I guess you can't, which is sad as well.

@Dubbicakes you clearly don't remember how a PS3 game actually looks like...

@Brutal why are you laughing? Try to look at the bigger picture here instead of acting like a clown.... The EVO acquisition is a smart one that has much bigger chances of making Sony huge amounts of profits (in the shorter and longer term) than the Bethesda one for Microsoft... Not to mention it establish PS as preferred console for most 3rd party competitive fighting games (more than it already is).

In the grand scheme of things, this is a really smart move... one that will probably pay off in the long run.

£44.99/$49.99 for an HD remaster (a poorly one to say the least) of an 18 years old game is a robbery.... this game should be no more than £15.99/$19.99.

If you are going to charge that much then at least remake it instead.

For anyone that doesn't know the reason for this acquisition (even though it is kinda obvious).... you can read this:

@Col_McCafferty DLC? for HZD? It says there that they are giving the Complete Edition of HZD (includes the Frozen Wilds expansion)... isn't that the DLC?

Anyhow, great offering of free games...

Looking forward to whatever they are cooking over there...

Always nice to see more new IPs in the making...

@2cents vice-versa... I'm more interested in Returnal than this. Returnal's atmosphere and frantic gameplay speaks a lot more to me... this looks OK though.

@Kidfried they already revealed the PS digital store sales for Feb (US and Europe)....

As far exclusives go, both Spider Man Miles Morales (PS5) and Demon's Souls Remake (PS5) did really good. Spider Man Miles Morales better since well... it is Spider Man. Demon's Souls Remake is more of niche game, but did great as well. If the game is good people will pay $70 simple as that. The same way they did when they were $60.

You don't need to be a wizard to know that most of the games being sold right now (physical and digital, full price and discounted) are coming from either PS and/or Nintendo platforms. The GamePass model is hurting the Xbox sales of those games in general. Anyone thinking otherwise is just being delusional... you just can't sustain the whole gaming industry via a GamePass model (subscription based) only.

@Fenbops you got to be delusional if you don't think most if not all big publisher (that includes MS and Nintendo) aren't going to rise the game prices to £70 by next year.... also this isn't even comparable (subscription based services VS owing your game).

Stop living in LaLaLand already... for god's sake. And prepare for a price hike in subscription services in the near future as well (à la Netflix).

@malbhet this is such a naive statement of someone that knows nothing about the matter and Japan Studio's situation as a studio.... From some time now Japan Studio only saving grace has been their collaborations projects with other studios, not their own original games. They were giving the chance to change that multiple times, but they didn't took it.

Also, Gravity Rush 2 was a commercial flop, so you weren't going to get Gravity Rush 3 ever...

I does sounds interesting.... now we just need to wait for 2023 to come. Hopefully I won't forget about it by then or, even worse, it gets cancel (for whatever reason). You never know with this stuff.

Honestly, the project was announced way to early, but I kinda know why he/they did it....

@Hyperluminal yea... I guess now paying a monthly/yearly subscription equals "free".... the world we live on is becoming a sad one day by day.

Honestly.... I didn't even know this game even existed until today....

Why are Starfield and Indiana Jones up there? None of those games have been release yet. They aren't even established game franchises. We also know so little about those games too to even care....

@__jamiie Why? There are actually people out there (not fanboys) that do not like those games....

Looking forward to whatever they are cooking over there... It is also nice to see a possible new IP in the works.

@itsfoz Agree.

@Fenbops I believe you are just being sarcastic, but... you don't need a high-end PC to play most of Bethesda's games.... a decent PC built should be good enough to play them.

@mucc agree. The fact that most didn't know this was already on the PS4 too tells you a lot...

@KnightRider1982 if this isn't small for a AAA game, then I don't know what it is...

27gb for a AAA game like RE is small....

Here is the reality.... most users out there only care if already established multi-platform franchises like Doom, Fallout, and Elder Scroll will still come to PS (and Switch), that's all. And for the wording in that statement, that might be the case.

Honestly, most users do not care much about any upcoming-unproven future new IPs from them not coming to PS.

I think they could have made that clearer in that statement, but sadly that wasn't the case. Can't do that! lets make everyone guess which games will come and which ones won't...

There are plenty of bad HD Remasters out there.... and sadly Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne is one of them.

If I ever get this it will be when its dirt cheap...

@Nexozi hell no.... if my workspace look like that, I wouldn't want to work from home.... buy hey! to each their own.

Nice to see Miles Morales (PS5) and Demon's Souls Remake (PS5) doing well in the digital charts.

Last New Game+ Expo was pretty mediocre.... so yea, not expecting much. Just want to see what Atlus/Sega end up bringing...

@Loftimus where? 1 month is priced at £6.99 in the store...

@Kyevo8814 keep reaching.... and be careful not to to fall and hit your head in the meantime.

@RBMango just like presenting God of War: Ragnarok or Horizon Forbidden West gameplay would have make Sony's State of Play better.

C'mon.... of course showcasing gameplay of any anticipated big game would do that to any presentation. Your statement is kinda silly and obvious, no offense.
