@Ravix are these pics for real? The remaster does lack details and looks unnatural. Have to watch comparison videos and see. Either way not willing to spend more money on them. Horizon are very impressive games, however it left me cold on an emotional level. Just couldn't care about anything happening, not for a lack of wanting to.

@OthmaneAD Maybe we should care. I read so much complaining about the lack of original games, but little engagement when there's something new. If that's really such a problem as many say it is then we should pay more attention to games like this.

Both games look amazing. The metaphor demo got me hooked and I hope to continue it soon.
As for silent hill 2 remake, I really hope for bloober that the purists and harassers get to eat their own s**t.

@Sequel absolutely a pc handheld game. Best way to play.

@Cloud39472 I never find these jaded fanboys talking about any other original media like indie or foreign films. They just latch on to the most commercial entertainment and complain about it, but don't appear to support anything lesser known either. It's just very cringe worthy how many find more enjoyment in online bashing and hate watching rather than actually engaging in the medium and find the good. Lives to short to be so bitter and find so little enjoyment.

Star wars fatigue yada yada yada. Edgelords like saying it to appear cool, but we had some pretty good star wars media along with some duds. Mando is for the most part very engaging, parts of boba Fett, Andor was awesome. Elements of acolyte were interesting but sloppy, however the anti-woke crowd wrote it off immediately. The Jedi games were amazing. Haven't played outlaws yet, but I will once it's patched up and cheaper.

What I'm trying to say is, Star Wars has always been a sloppy space fantasy made for kids. "Grown ups" judging it by proper sci-fi standards are barking up the wrong tree and making themselves look silly in the process with the amount of tenacity and hate they throw around.

For that money they could probably fund 1;2 indie projects

@bindiana true, that would actually signal that Sony is actually celebrating with those that have been along for the ride the longest in an actual provable way. Celebrate and reward those who helped them to their success (and also making a boatload of extra cash and unruffle some feathers from the ps5pro price announcement of course)

@Number09 Actually I meant it mostly humourous, but also that a 1000$ special edition set just wasn't created with someone's first PlayStation in mind, not to gatekeep people from playing.
No need to get hostile unless you have a little Tommy in the family that really wants that specifically. If so then I apologise.

Just don't get why the slim version has to be so limited. Sony can shove the pros up their U know what's.

@Number09 I don't think little Tommy is awfully nostalgic as it's most likely going to be an overpriced way of playing Fortnite, Minecraft and Roblox

@Kidfunkadelic83 I'll invite my wife to play doki doki with me. Better to be disturbed together I guess.

@Yousef- personally was hoping it to be an anime series that keeps the story intact, yet condenses it to the essentials (with perhaps a nod to a sub quest every now and then), but if it's done well in the drama format I'm all in.

I guess the show is more for the crowd that's not just there for yakuza's meme value (I know that's rich when having an Ono Michio gif), but rather the actual gritty yet heartfelt crime drama and I'm definitely onboard. It's that dynamic between Shintama, Nishiki and Kiryu that really gripped me when I first got kiwami 1 from a bargain bin, and the series has had me hooked ever since.

A handheld is most definitely the way to go. Paired with a egpu dock for home cinema use it would be a great setup.
As for the vita's misfortune, it came out in this strange time where everyone thought playing on mobile phones can cover that, but I think with the switch and now pc handhelds even more casuals should have finally figured out that handheld gaming and mobile gaming are two different worlds.

@MARl0 agree as that was my only gripe with this game. I really loved the characters and writing. The gameplay was also fun throughout.

@NEStalgia fair enough, just checked and it's not completely out. Still, every sale is a vote to be screwed in the future.

I'm fine for early adopters of new technologies that bring innovation, even if it doesn't always pan out, but the ps5plus definitely isn't that. If it would just take the original ps5 price point while that gets reduced, as they did with the ps4pro/ps4, fair game.

@Northern_munkey ads are usually more aggressive in the US compared to many European countries. Where r U located?

@PSme yup, people here prove once again that brand loyalty and fomo go beyond any reason or solidarity as a good chunk of enthusiasts have their pros pre-ordered, despite everything speaking against it. Sony gets away with every bs for now.

I pity kojimas co-screenwriter and editor. He doesn't value the power of brevity.

No biggie... just pay 3€ more per month for the new ad free tier ps plus premium plus, problem solved!

Wasn't it recently reported that there are about 400 million reasons that speak against it?
I guess we'll foot the bill with psplus price hikes and more expensive future hardware.

Lost cause really. Break to fomo at the first sign of (orchestrated) scarcity. People really don't know how to spend their money wisely.

@Czar_Khastik maybe koei tecmo can do a strangers of paradise crossover as well. Then Jack can yell at me about chaos during our beach side stroll. Lovely

Great header! Phil's still one of the more tolerable big heads.

@yazzika oh my goodness, so true lmao

@LastSaneManOnEarth there is lots of research that points to reduced work times increasing productivity. I can only recommend reading up on Rutger Bergman and from there you can find many references to such research. Very interesting.

@Troubbble please don't go there. Even Saint Kojima said he'd revise the story if he'd do it again. Change can also be positive.

I'm a longtime mgs fan and am looking forward to this, but in all reality, let's take the nostalgia goggles off for a second.
In a modern gaming context, despite how much I love it, the vo is just pure cheese and would have massively benefited from a rerecording with the original voice actors. I'm sure even Kojima wouldn't direct the vo that way if he'd release it today.
That and the lack of modernizations besides the visuals and gameplay improvements is very disappointing for me as a fan. And the sad thing is that it all comes as a reaction to a very toxic purist attitude amongst gamers who try to dictate to Devs what they should be doing.
Kojima even stated in his departure from Konami that if he'd remake the series he would revise story elements. Kojima was also ready to pass the torch.
I'm sick of gamers trying to prove their fine taste of fandom by glorifying everything past while hindering innovations.
Also putting Kojima on this god like pedestal is such a dumb form of fandom.

I would absolutely love if they'd do something new with the series, though instead of a sequel they could just make an overall game series of experimental slow burn j-horror games under the mantle of Siren. Sony could make them with moderate budgets and perhaps get acclaimed game and film directors to helm these one shots. The indie scene is booming with stuff like that.

@LifeGirl we'll see. I'm fine with minor changes as long as it's done well and serves the overall themes.

Isn't Disney plus the place where you send anime to die?

We already had a first look, so second look.

I wonder if TV audiences can handle the story better than gamers who latch on to male protagonists (see ghosts of yotei).

Fake scarcity. You vote with your wallet. If it does genuinely sell well then don't be surprised if Sony goes all digital and charge more for the ps6. As I said before, if Sony is giving up on hardware generations, then ps6 games are required to run on a ps5 pro unless the game is really that technically advanced that it wouldn't run. Basically like iPhones.

Physical and 2nd hand market will always be the king.

I'd love to see another game during the bakumatsu (though already seen in lad Ishin and rise of the Ronin, so might be overdone by now) or preferably the following Meiji era (rurouni kenshin, lady snowblood time for pop culture reference).
Either way, I'm happy to get off of the island.

@nessisonett Yeah, that's weird but we'll see where that goes. Hollywood already depleted half it's stock on Japanese actors they like to cast frequently. If season 2 has Ken Watanabe then they've depleted the entire pool.

It would be a good investment as long as it plays ps6 games at slightly degraded graphics. Since we obviously don't believe in generations anymore that boat should rock both ways, right Sony?

In my mind a direct sequel was never in the cards. It just wouldn't make much sense. That just proves a complete surface level understanding of the first game.
I wouldn't hold my breath on a direct sequel to shogun either.

Should have been on extra ages ago tbh

Doku Doku was free on steam for some time, but I don't mind the trophies.

White weebs, Guardians of true Japanese culture lol

They probably had some embarrassing Japan inspired dance routine with some hip french dance crew parodying every Japanese stereotype, to crossover with just dance until someone made them aware that that was a bad idea last minute. And of course yotei happened

Sounds game breaking tbh, but still cool what the mod scene is up to.

Sony also finally needs to have a psplus game streaming mobile app. Want to play Jean D'arc the go (and unlock trophies, otherwise ppsspp is far superior anyways)

@AdamNovice Japanese centric would be the best thing that could happen to Sony honestly. Maybe RE9 is in the cards. Square Enix and Sega could have a few nice things too I imagine.

If western studios I only really care to see what sucker punch is up to and naughty dog as long as it's not last of us related.

@Czar_Khastik Nice to Michi!

@Czar_Khastik ba da tsss...

If I don't sign up to my local supermarkets savers club they can't collect my data directly, but for that I don't get bananas with a 40% discount, and that's okay, because I can still shop there!
PSN accounts should enable perks like trophies and cross saves, but shouldn't be a gatekeeper to who gets to play.

Just sucks that another first party studio has to suffer due to Sony's poor decision making and the whims of the internet mob that always needs something to be outraged over in a disproportionate manner.

For me it has to be a single device meaning a handheld paired with a GPU powered dock (not just a hdmi connector) for more home performance. I won't invest in a home console and a handheld as separate devices since that would just be a plain stupid idea.

The time is ripe for this tech with ai upscaling and framegen assisting low energy consumption mobile chips!

If Sony comes with another boring home bound console that plays the games of two gems ago with slightly better graphics I'm throwing the towel on them.
