I'm ok with it. Sony has been doing their own thing and it seems like they will continue that trend by not doing Gamescom.

JPN voices. ALWAYS.

Quick! someone tell Colin Moriarty!

oh isht! that's crazy! totes forgot.
not that I would have time to play around with it cuz I barely have time for games, but looking forward to it either way. why not.

Persona 1(st) comment.

• also super cool! I'd love to replay Persona 3. I didn't beat it back on the PS2 and would like to be able to finish it all the way through. P3FES was tough compared to P4G or P5.
• while Atlus is at it, they need to show love to Persona 1 and 2. IF they can remake those games to at least look like Persona 3?!?! that'd be awesome.

HYPE responsibly.

def buying this day 1. will likely preorder it too. comes out on Aug 26th - the day before my birthday!

I mean that is unfortunate in terms of the game's development cycle and seemingly the stop/start process of reveal, then trailers, info dump and the continued anticipation of the game releasing and then delay upon delay.
-However, on a personal level, I have alot of games to play that have release dates or at least coming in 2022 that I'm fine just continuing to wait for this game to finally come out at some point in 2023. AND it'll give me more time to get back into the anime.

So excited for this game! will definitely NOT play with English dubs though. anyway, yay JRPGs!

hot damm! next week!?!? WOW that'll be totally gnarly or bodacious, dude!
Cowwwaaaaa- bunga!!!

• Michelangelo
• Leonardo
• Donatello
• Raphael

Star Platinum - Za Warudo! ORA!

demo / beta - whatever you want to call it, I'm down. JoJo Eyes of Heaven was fun. I'm looking forward to this one as I didn't play it back in the PS3 days.

• down the line, they should bring back the 2D fighting game (developed by Capcom!)

@Voltan you should change that. if you're into anime - give this one a chance. it's fantastic!

YES PLEASE. this is one of my most anticipated games! Can't wait to see how One Piece (x Dragon Quest) plays out. Either way, it's a day one buy for me.
> We Are!

I'd rather have a showcase/presentation or whatever PR term you'd like to use that'll show games that are a year away instead of having an overproduced extravagant showcase and promise games that are 4+ years away, nowhere near done or simply just concept art thatll just be canceled a year later.

meh.

• but hope you Sonic fans enjoy!

my predictions?
>some exciting reveals from third-party partners, plus a sneak peek at several games in development for PSVR2<

• keep it simple, keep it humble and don't expect anything crazy or anything super hype. just enjoy it for what it may be and if not all of the games revealed are for you, then that's ok - maybe next time.

at this point, I feel like many folks are just anticipating the Extra and Premium tiers of PS Plus.
I'm down to try the Nick Smash Clone but other than that, I'm good. I did already play God of War like alot of us have and I'm not interested in Naruto. I do appreciate the anime representation but just not Naruto and that game in particular.

• Have a nice week everyone!

11 out of 15!
hire me Pushsquare! : )

it's almost like PS management listens to Colin on Sacred Symbols because he mentioned how a lexicon of gaming terms would be a good idea (since there's so many nowadays and the list of terms only continues to grow).

• sidenote: it'd be super fun if any of the Push Square staff gets interviewed by Colin. since he cites your site as a resource every pod.

so excited for this game! glad to see uninterrupted gameplay. can't wait for August!

Project Q...Q for questionable.

PS4 = Ni No Kuni II
VITA = Persona 4 Dancing All Night

@thefourfoldroot wow thanks for the thorough feedback. maybe when I feel the itch to play another Yakuza type game, I'll do FotNS first to get it out of the backlog, then purchase Judgement afterwards.

• Appreciate the response/review of FotNS!

@thefourfoldroot

• how is Fist of the North Star? that and Yakuza 6 were on the backlog and decided to just finish Yakuza 6 so I can close on Kiryu's journey. Is FotNS super wacky and fun? lol
  Tales of Arise is great. Combat is super smooth and story is pretty good. Ran a bit long in my opinion but fun overall.
  >ENJOY!

FINALLY finished Yakuza 6 - thank you for the memories Kiryu-san (since the PS2 days).

- I am going through my backlog and I'm torn between Ni No Kuni II OR Kingdom Hearts III (the trailer for IV got piqued my interest) = what would you all recommend?

As a father of a cat-son. I hope this game is good. will def give it a shot regardless of reviews (unless it's broken/unplayable).

• yay cats! 🐈😸

WHAAAAaaaa!??!!
We have a new game coming out in 2022?!?! that's this year!?! shock!

Dragon Quest style x One Piece?!?!

• so excited for this. today is a good day for both life and video games. Yahooooo!!!

Hoping for any of the following: >Judgement
>Bloodstained ROTN
>Nex Machina
>Tetris Effect
>Sakuna: of Rice and Ruin

YAKUZA 6 = chapter 9 (of 13, I believe)
> had such little play time recently : (

I'm enjoying the game and cant wait to see it through... but also ready to try something new.

MAIN GAME = Yakuza 6
SIDE GAME(S) = Bleach Brave Souls + Team Sonic Racing

Yes!!! another trailer!
this is my most anticipated game this year!
Glad that I don't have to play the first one to know this story. Atlus knew that they needed a new starting point. Kinda wish they could've just called it Soul Hackers.
Anyway, yay Atlus and yay SMT spin offs. They sure know how to make turn based combat look and feel exciting.

@arra1213 I mean...PS3 was many many many years ago. I'm sure alot of the folks over at Platinum weren't there when they had whatever petty thing there was with Playstation. shrugs

Time for Platinum games to join the Playstation suite of studios and be given a chance to (re)focus on a single player only, high octane and energetic action game - similar to how they did with Vanquish.
> it's too bad though, Babylon's Fall is kind of a dope title for a game.

@BrotherFilmriss just scrolling through the comment section and noticed that you're rockin' a Commander Keen icon. kudos to you! lots of fun memories playin' that game. have a good time playin' video games!

YAKUZA 6. Y'all know how long this game can take to beat...more mystery is building after my visit to Hiroshima and Kamurocho is once again in the center of it all (of course).

• be well everyone and enjoy!

Dotemu, Konami, Capcom, some developer - should make a new The Simpsons beat em up OR an RPG similar to the South Park games.

more JPN published games?!? sure I'm down to know more : )

the top 4 on that list is certainly my top 4 games from the SoP. makes total sense to me.
"Sticky Fingaz!...Arrivederci"

as a fellow cat parent to a cat-son --- as i'm sure some of those in the comment section are, I can't wait to see more of this game.

• only real question/wish i have is, can we customize the color of the cat's fur/patterns etc. guess we'll all find out PURR-eety soon.

Fantastic stuff. love TMNT in general. grew up playing some of these games. the Gameboy ones were fun back then, hopefully still as fun now.
Of course Turtles in Time is a classic amongst many folks.
> as for other games that should get this treatment? === the X-Men and Avengers side scroller beat em ups/platformers.

@RubyCarbuncle - i'm pretty satisfied. some folks in here set their expectations based on something that SONY literally said wasn't going to happen. SONY said it was a SoP focused on JPN publisher games --- yet folks come out and say "oh where's God of War, where's Spartacus etc etc" --- like, they literally said those ish won't be there.

> I for one am happy about JOJO, TMNT, FF Tactics but not FF Tactics, Valkyrie (not disco) Elysium looks alright (the Valkryie Profile games were fun back in the day) and EXOPRIMAL looks quite fun (if it's focused on single player). This SoP was alright in my book. --

Gundam Mechs have such cool designs and having it be through an First Person Perspective just totally misses the point...ugh - so disappointing. I hope it does well but I dunno; this is probably the most disappointing one in the SoP.

what was the chrono cross leak and that eiyuden Chronicles rpg? wasn't that a thing?

this is my kind of SoP = focusing on JPN publishers and their games.
It would be cool to see more in depth look at Soul Hackers 2 and Granblue Fantasy Re Link (possibly a release date too - though I know GB has some event coming up soon).
It would be cool to see a tease for Ys X as well.
Maybe more about SF 6?
Is there gonna be a Soul Calibur 7? - I hope so?
>>> possibilities are endless. ENJOY yall!

>>> NOT BAD indeed : )
You scored 9 out of 15.
= PlayStation Enthusiast - Hey, not bad, you know your PlayStation!

MAIN GAME = playing Yakuza 6. the gameplay loop is just so fun. story is ramping up, which means this ramp is barely an incline cuz i know there'll be more. what a series indeed.
SIDE GAME = N/A

I suppose remasters of the unreleased Yakuza Isshin and Yakuza Kenzan could be in the works because why not...
I hope RGG does a ground up remake of the PSP Yakuza Spinoff "Project K".
Instead of it being a fighting game, just make it like a typical Yakuza game, or I guess Judgement now, with it's focus more on action instead of turn based combat.
OR - make a side scrolling beat em up with totally different characters and lore.

finally playing Yakuza 6. been a fan since the PS2 days but just getting around to the final game for Kiryu-san. it's nice to be back in Kamurocho.
> after I'm done with the game (in a few weeks maybe months cuz adult-ing/parenting), I'll likely jump in to another backlog game (Nier:A / NnK2 / Batman:AK)

it's almost like Capcom should just remake Darkstalkers or something.
OR really go back and make some more beat em ups (that Capcom Beat em up collection was fun!) Dotemu can't be the only one carrying that torch.
