I only just started playing 4 for this first time last week. But already, this PS5 update is so much better.

Will this release before or after Deep Down?

@carlos82 I think it's a PS5 issue. We've seen a few games behave strangely on PS5. I don't think the DLC breaks on PS4. Bethesda should create a fix, but, being owned by MS, I'm guessing it's not a priority. I guess, on PS5, just stream the DLCs for the PS4 version?

@carlos82 Yep, the Automatron and Wastelander Workshop DLCs are broken. Classic Bethesda. Hopefully, that will be fixed with the PS5 version, but it's Bethesda. They refuse to give up on their leaky, broken game engine. So who knows?

@SirSephy Um, I've beaten RE7 several times. Never, once in VR. It's not required.

I'll definitely pick up physical versions of all 3 for PS5 if they become available.

Yay, more consolidation....I thought we were done with this.

Kind of shocked it's taken this long. I know Sony had a 2 year exclusive period, but that ended last year. Either way, this is a great game and it's great more gamers will get to play it. Though, Xbox gamers need to buy it. More sales means a better chance for a sequel.

@nessisonett I agree. I'd rather a mostly linear, narrative driven game than an empty, soulless open world.

I hope that Sony patches their other PC releases to support trophies.

@munkholt click the 3 dots next to the download/stream buttons, that'll bring up the options to buy

Watch out, Xbox fanboys are going to try to use this as evidence that the game is failing (it's not).

@Anthony_Daniels So, essentially, it tells that AT LEAST 2 million copies have been sold, but the number is likely higher.

@ShadowofTwilight I do wonder how much of the code could have been just removed. There's a mod for Uncharted on PC that cuts down the install by like 30 GB or something.

Glad to see Rise of the Ronin doing well. I'm having a blast with it and trying to finish it before April 26.

Is it too much to hope for that Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare is the PS2 version?

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, no question.

I was convinced that this game was cancelled (I'm still not entirely unconvinced it's not). Also, this is ubisoft the game is likely going to be filled with BS microtransactions.

I'm pretty sure more Xbox games are already in the process of getting ported over. Starfield will launch on PS5 in the not-to-distant future.

@mkr Well, I voted that I prefer 60, but can deal with 30.

60 FPS is notably smoother and definitely preferable. But my eyes will adjust to 30 FPS after about a minute and then I don't notice it. However, if the big companies promise 60 FPS and then fail to deliver, that's a problem.

I can see Lara Croft as number 1. She's one of the few video game characters that people who don't play games can probably name. Agent 47 at third though is just crazy. Baldur's Gate 3 characters shouldn't be on this list. True video game icons are missing: Donkey Kong, Samus Aran, Ganondorf, Bowser, Batman, Spider-Man, Commander Shepard, Luigi, Revan, Kirby just to name a few.

What will come out first: KOTOR remake or Abandoned?

@Czar_Khastik Critics didn't like it, but it appears to be getting a much better reception among the general public (much like Days Gone).

Kenzan should be the next game especially after Ishin! got an excellent remake. There are also a few more Japan-only titles that need to make the jump.

@jedinite No, they replaced it with Puerto Rican flag which is what it was supposed to be. Though, even if they did put in a pride flag, again, oh my god, gay people exist. Who cares?

Nah, I've got really no interest in any of these games. But that's okay, between Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Rise of the Ronin, South Park Snow Day!, Stellar Blade, Helldivers II, and Alone in the Dark, I've got more than enough to play right now. There's also NG+ in Spider-Man 2 and Alan Wake II for when I'm done with those.

@Jaz007 Xbox has continually promised first party AAA games day 1 and how many of those have actually released? Gears 5, Halo Infinite, Starfield, cough cough Redfall. That's about it. There is no way that Game Pass can pay for all of these massive games. MS would be laughed out of the room if they wanted to launch a game like Spider-Man day 1 on a subscription service.

@DennisReynolds Yep, people are dumb. They are still trying to claim that Abby is trans in The Last of Us Part II. And proving that, while they are complaining about it, they didn't actually play the game.

@pyrrhic_victory Not even that, if one of these anti-wokers don't like anything, they immediately call it woke. Spider-Man 2 is woke all because there is a minor side quest where you help a high school student as his boyfriend to prom. Oh my god, gay people exist. The horror! Horizon Forbidden West is woke because Aloy has the OPTION to kiss a girl. Completely ignoring the fact that you don't have to do that.

@DennisReynolds I saw a reddit thread about someone who posted a tweet claiming Final Fantasy VII Rebirth went woke because it's about saving the environment. Like, did they not play the original game in 1997?

@Nei For the field intel in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth too.

Yay, another acquistion sigh. I guess it's better than Embracer shutting them down.

Ok, but when is Sony going to let me sort my trophy lists on PS5? It's still weird that PS3 is the device that alphabetizes the trophies. Neither PS4 nor PS5 do it.

I don't care about another subscription service.

@MomsSpaghetti Those articles are basically based on physical Japanese sales. A market where almost nothing sells physically anymore. Wait until the digital sales are reported. It's true that Final Fantasy isn't exactly the biggest seller these days, but Final Fantasy XVI and VII Remake both sold much better when accounting for digital sales. Rebirth is doing just fine.

@add286 If a game gets a 90+ for user score, then it has done something right. IMO, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is the BEST PS5-only game of this generation.

Please give me Quantum Break on PS5.

@Splat But did you tell them to inject bleach into their arms?

@AhmadSumadi I get that take. I still may play Skyrim at some point, but I've got so many games ahead of it in my queue. I avoided Final Fantasy XIV like the plague for so long because of my complete aversion to multiplayer. And yet, now, I'm about to start Endwalker and try to log in as much as possible.

@MomsSpaghetti Same. At various times, I've tried Morrowind, Oblivion, and Fallout 3. Never played any for more than about an hour. Even Fallout New Vegas, being an Obsidian game, feels much more like a Bethesda game than an Obsidian one. Never played Skyrim or Fallout 4.

I've never been able to get into any Bethesda game, be it Fallout or Elder Scrolls (and have ZERO interest in Starfield). It seems like every rpg from The Witcher to Final Fantasy to Zelda to even Yakuza/Like a Dragon of all games has left Bethesda games in the dust. I doubt, at this point, after the massive string of disappointments Bethesda has had ever since Skyrim launched, that there is any way TES6 can live up to it.

@Tecinthebrain Just remember, even if the game is an 11/10, it won't cause people to sell their PS5s to play on Xbox.

@savarunl I think the side content is intentional to really increase the bond between the characters and specifically the player with the characters. I think, there is the understanding going into the game, that most everyone knows about what is going to happen at the game's climax. So Square Enix devised a new way for that event to be impactful by making us spend countless hours with these characters to increase that bond.

I finished this game a few days and I can say, without conviction, it's a 10 out of 10. Everything is damn near perfect. The characters are livelier than ever. Even Cait Sith has been drastically improved. The graphics (even in UE4) are utterly gorgeous. The world feels lived in. The combat is a thing of beauty. I don't really have a bad thing to say about it. Maybe the moogle mini games could have been dropped.

No issues for me, been playing Final Fantasy XIV no problem.

Metacritic score is a bit lower than I expected. But I'll still be picking this one up. I learned a long time ago to basically ignore reviewers, the way they collectively decided Days Gone was trash from the first 5 hours of the game was the last straw for me. Not to mention, how many reviews of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth spent half the time whining about the ending? Play it and form your own opinion.

Nice to know Rockstar haven't completely forgotten about RDR2. For a game that has sold over 60 million copies, they sure do treat it like the unwanted step child in comparison their obsession with GTAV.

I honestly have been loving the way Arrowhead is marketing this game and how they are (cheekily) gas lighting all of the fans. Some other companies could take a hint.

I just finished Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (and haven't stopped thinking about that ending). Glad to see Rise of the Ronin getting a great review and hope the great reviews keep coming in. Though, I'm going to play it regardless.
