@Yousef- it's also on the square Enix music YouTube channel in its entirety.

Despite everything else, the soundtrack is epic!

@AndroidBango exactly 😂 though pushswuare really relies on Garvin's twitter to publish an outrage article about once a month, humouring him for clicks as if his opinions matter

@get2sammyb @DennisReynolds maybe it's not about adding something to the ps5 version but rather just removing Director John Garvin from the credits.

Concord is low hanging fruit, push square knows it

@RoomWithaMoose I wouldn't reduce it to only trigger and nothing else. There are lot's of fantastic studios that can do the cyberpunk universe justice. Production IG just delivered a fantastic Terminator anime (alongside their superb cyberpunk portfolio of psycho pass and ghost in the shell soc) or the studio behind megalobox. Of course trigger again would be great but there definitely are worthwhile alternatives.

@DonJorginho not pretending... I guess my algo just knows that I won't react to this kind of baiting and I'm not on X, TT or insta.
Man, the internet has become a rotten crap fest where anybody will be rattled up about some dumb "hot take".

The title alone, love it! I knew RGG was cooking up something good. I assume it'll be a smaller release like the man who erased his name.

@LogicStrikesAgain yes, it's a Sony first party, high profile and heavily promoted generic game that the community didn't ask for.

This is just my sort of game. Weird playstation at its best.

Ugh, guess it's time to put on our tinfoil hats because some people are trying to read some left/right agenda into this why this game flopped.
It's a well made, yet generic game that nobody asked for in an insanely oversaturated market.

I think Sony is to blame as it seems they (i.e. Hulst) commissioned this sort of game.

Also, shouldn't they have learned from the ps5 preorder!?
If you want to order anything from this it should be tied to an existing and verified active PSN account.

Just want the faceplates and the controllers, not that abominable cash grab of a console. No way on earth.

@Yagami I'd absolutely love traditional animation or CG movie/series adaptations but most western adults still consider animation to be inferior juvenile media.
That's why Hollywood mostly produces junk like minions and at best Pixar movies that have a bit more to offer than just tranquilizing kids for 90 minutes, but are still very on the nose in comparison to brilliant Ghibli or Momoru Hosoda movies that assume kids are smarter than what Hollywood expects.

As for Yakuza, of course it should be in Japanese, though I'm not such a purist to disregard English dubs completely. If someone enjoys it with dubs so be it as long as they have a good time.
After shows like Tokyo vice and Shogun I'm cautiously optimistic about the Amazon show.

@Yagami I've been hoping for years that Yakuza would get an anime adaptation since I feel it's best suited to juggle the action, the heartfelt drama and the silliness the games are known for. The reason I'm mostly excited for game adaptations (also live action) is that many games have great stories that I know my wife f.e. would enjoy, but I just can't expect everyone being willing to put the 60+ hours into it. Or an RPG where after a slow 20h start you're like "believe me, it'll get good from here on". Requirement is however that you do a good job and respect the source material which many just don't.
Witcher had an okay first season but just crapped all over the books starting season 2, just finished season 3 but there's not much to salvage. It also has a very cheap Xena era look about it which just doesn't cut it these days. Cavill was still one of the better aspects of the show.

Why are we so obsessed about sales numbers again?! FF7 remake/rebirth are absolute masterpieces. They'll still sell over a long period of time, especially when rebirth comes to pc and perhaps the trilogy on switch 2

@Yagami played it when it was free on psplus back in the days. I actually liked it and put quite a bit of time into it. Tbh monster hunter rise was the first MH I've ever played and it instantly reminded me a lot of when I played soul sacrifice. Perhaps reskin was harsh but instead of soulslike a hunterlike. I think it has similarities when it comes to combat, character creation and classes, upgrading, planning etc... but yeah, with a dark fantasy setting. Could also be that my memory on it is fuzzy as it's been many years.

It's just a reskinned monster hunter.

@McTwist agree, Titanfall 2 and the Jedi Series are amazing. They really nailed action paired with fluid motion.
All the drama and hate about how "unplayable" survivor was around release was blown way out of proportion. I had a great time playing it at launch with just a few minor hiccups.

Good to show off how you don't need to compromise fidelity or performance on ps5 plus... my goodness Sony, you're pathetic these days

The differences will be stunning at a 3x magnification!

Can't wait, surely one of the best star wars stories told in recent years.

THQ Nordic has a huge merch store in one of the most expensive spots in the city I live in. I never see anybody in there. I don't think anybody is wild about destroy all humans, biomutant, darksiders or elex merch... Unless it's a storefront to do a certain thing with money, I just don't get it.

Final Fantasy 16 Is F**cked... Period

Freedom fighters beware, censorship! Lmao

Anyways, was really looking forward to the original but found that it had some broken mechanics. Hope this makeover has successfully fixed those issues.

@TrickyDicky99 perhaps, I haven't payed too much attention which game belongs to which tier and I was mostly excited about the premium classics like jean d'arce, time splitters 2, etc and can't really remember what extra offered.

I do really appreciate day 1 Indies like this month as well as stray and sea of stars. Bad months for me are usually mp only or GaS stuff.

While some say it was a thought through strategic decision on Sony's side to purchase bungie it feels more like a shot from the hip panic reaction with ms getting Bethesda and Activision (see what that got them). Sony put too much money on the table making this very high risk.

Where was Sony with some spare change when Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montreal were up for grabs!? CD by then was even experienced (yet not successful) with the game as service model, since that was the big "strategy" Sony was following (which now hit the wall with concord). Beyond that both studios packed huge IPs that are so ingrained into PlayStation's DNA and they were sold off for Millions... not billions like bungie was.

@TrickyDicky99 why? It's a game nobody has yet that looks amazing and lot's of fun oddities worth checking out. Of course they could add a bunch of big name games that those who wanted to play it a release already have played and if not can be grabbed from a bargain bin for cheap, and where's the fun in that.

If Sony currently deserves critique it's for the horrible choices around the ps5 pro and concord.

Maybe they could mod some gameplay into this game.

@MikeOrator absolutely agree, short but sweet games that don't need to have insane budgets, but new ideas.

@CrashBandicoat of course that goes for every consumer electronic, but the crass difference between the PS4 to pro and the ps5 to pro is extreme, while this gen is not nearly being pushed enough so far. It will just set a bad precedent from here on out that shouldn't be supported.
Scalpers are bad, but people buying from scalpers, man... money can neither buy money or a brain.

I just want a portable hybrid console, so this makes pc more interesting for me in the future. Have a windows handheld on the go and a egpu dock connected to the TV. If Sony follows suit when the ps6 comes around that would be ideal for me.

However, with the arrogance on display we need to let Sony know that their priorities are set wrong. I hope the pro won't sell well, but I have the suspicion that despite people complaining it'll sell out anyways, because dunno... fomo? Just don't be surprised if the ps6 is a generational half step with a 1000$£€ price tag. Ps5 pro buyers gave Sony the okay for it.

Amazing selection, plucky squire as a day one, road 96 and Mr. Mosquito all make for some quirky fun gaming.

Seriously though, that quarter saying it's a crap selection are people who expect black myth wukong, star wars outlaws and astro bot in their subscription.

@ArcadeHeroes probably not the only plate they got spinning.

@Golem25 absolutely, team RGG are the most reliable in the biz, without making fans wait. Yes, they reuse assets, but always deliver great story and gameplay. Love them!

Wait what?! My head's spinning. Who greenlit this? I can already imagine the movie breaking it's back to seam hip with current youth culture and failing miserably, but maybe I'm wrong.

I'm excited that we get these oddities which show off Sony at its best, but after a long humid summer I need a break from mosquitos.

Wasn't that so spring 2024?

Oh, I guess push square wants us all to be outraged by something again, oh yeah, so very outraged, yawn.

Maybe they device has enough raw power for smoother PS2 emulation... baby steps, baby steps, baby steps...

@Pranwell haha. Sony made sure to build in all marginal returns promoted with the original ps5. I guess it's fine/ish if you didn't own a ps5 yet.
I miss the old kaz printing money gif days.

Looks bad and Europeans get f*** twice over. Last time I checked 699$ are 634€. Sorry for the UK gets they get f**** thrice. Screw Sony, I'm investing that money in a handheld PC or the switch 2 instead.

10 for the romance, 15 for the bromance

It would be more "pro" to utilize and enhance machine learning upscaling and frame generation in current consoles to achieve 4k/60/120 without needing brute force power. But yeah, can't sell us anything new if you'd actually do that.

The art is not good but legit... just cause kaz has his cig lowered doesn't mean it is growing out of his chin. The fingers are alright as well, which is usually what ai struggles with.

I'm sure we'll have a proper game announced around tgs. This might be a rehash of that Japan only mobile game, then again these licensed mobile spin offs all look the same.

Wow 130+ people got baited into getting worked up about some dumb throwaway tweet, as if someone insulted their mother. Alone me stating this adds another click for Sammy bait... yaaaaaye

I know it's 95 years after publication, but I find much of this should fall under public domain since it's mostly dormant IPs aka abandonware. Even on the off chance that someone would continue the IP, there's little to no money to be made and would serve better for promotion.

@NEStalgia haha, yup that's how it goes. Corps can take any positive social movement, pack it up and sell it back in some perversely warped way where it's lost all its meaning, except leaving a bunch of split up culture warrior shills on both sides who "define" themselves through there consumer habits.

Well that sounds like a waste of time...

@NEStalgia yeah, it's unfortunate.
I'm a huge overall pop culture geek, but the only place where you can tell that is in my movie, game and book collection, nowhere else. I feel like if I'd wear a marvel or star wars t-shirt then Disney should be paying me for advertising their stuff, not the other way around! I'm all in for stories and experiences, everything else is unsubstantial garbage, and the world has enough of that. But instead of acknowledging that they'll just virtue signal some bs green initiative rather than doing the one thing that could actually make a difference, cut down on capitalism.
