But Sony hates innovation and only wants to put out sequels. They NEVER put out new ips anymore.

If you can't tell... that was major sarcasm

@nessisonett yupp sure because MLB choosing to publish the show on xbox means that all ps exclusives are going to go to every other console...

But... but... but... Sony has turned its back on the Japanese market...

@patronmacabre we'd be stupid not to call them that

@God_of_War_ I picked it up in a digital sale last year for 4.99.

@RudeAnimat0r exactly this... its bad optics and that's it. Could Sony have said something sooner? Sure

At the end of the day it's a decision made by MLB. Nobody here knows the specifics of the contract between Sony and MLB. Nobody knows what MLB told Sony it wanted in order to renew the contract for the game.

At the end of the day SONY didn't make this decision. MLB is publishing it on xbox. They hold the rights to the game. It's their call.

People getting up in arms over this need to really take stock of their lives. Because this just is not worth the energy that they are putting into it.

@VanguardKaiser still not worth it haha 🤣

Psn shows 120.8 gb download. I'll stick with my ps4 version that I don't play anymore... not wasting 120gb of space on this.

@Kang81 this is exactly why I don't want from soft touching one of my favorite game series. Let from soft keep going with their own thing and give castlevania to someone who can take it to the next level without causing people to want to biff their controller through a wall.

God is it too much to ask that Naughty Dog get their hands on castlevania?

So do we want to take bets on how many glitches this patch causes?

I actually may be one of the 5 people in the world that thinks Jack Black is not funny and just plain obnoxious.

@AlexSora89 I agree. She can play a wide range of roles and this is the first casting that excites me for this movie.

Side note I have actually had the pleasure of speaking to her on the phone at one point in my career. She is incredibly friendly and kind.

Looks like I'm gonna be sick while playing this! 🤣

Well this is a terrible bit of casting news...

FINALLY. This piqued my interest from the first reveal.

I should get my series x on weds. One day before this launches. This might be the first game I play on it.

...sigh... another talented dev relegated to obscurity...

Took me about an hour of trying to get in for it to actually load properly. Once the page loaded i was done in about 5 mins.

Pretty easy to do overall

Honestly I am so over CDPR at this point. I won't be buying any of their games again. Their "apology" yesterday was laughable at best. If you announce a game before the ps4 launches and then take the entire Gen to develop it, and release it on the ps4 you don't get to say it was developed on "old hardware".

They knew exactly what the hardware entailed. You also don't get to throw your QA team under the bus.

That was the last straw for me. I'm out on CDPR. They have squandered any potential faith I had in them.

I got the digital deluxe edition because it's currently only 5 dollars more then the base game on psn right now. If it was the full price I probably would have just gotten the base game.

Hitman Contracts was one of my favorite games just because the tone was so dark. The meat kings party was a clear favorite level.

Hopefully this game really embraces the dark humor that it has been known for in the past.

@madcow78 I don't think it's about dropping the ball, I think it's more around thinking of how much more work they would need to put in to create a whole new control scheme for essentially 3 full games.

This is basically just hitman in first person now.

Also you have to imagine that 2 move controllers would be absolute garbage for trying to explore the levels. This is a game that needs true locomotion not just pointing and clicking.

@madcow78 they have actually already confirmed its ds4 only.

I was stupid when I got my ps5 and thought "oh there is no reason for me to need a dualshock 4 anymore" so I sold them... completely forgetting about the light bars required for tracking. So currently I can't play games like Astros rescue mission or moss, or even hitman vr when it comes out. I'll need to get a new one soon. This looks too good to pass up.

They are grasping at straws trying to save face. Its just another half assed PR move.

This seals it for me. I won't be buying this game at all. Future CDPR releases will be heavily scrutinized before I even consider a purchase as well.

CAN NOT WAIT FOR THIS!

I was incredibly surprised by this announcement and it looks like everything i would want in a sequel/spiritual successor.

@GKO900 absolutely.

Nintendo, ubisoft, EA, Sony, Activision, and Microsoft would all crucified for this type of release.

Hell halo infinite was just showing gameplay and look what happened there.

The only reason this is any different is because all of the above listed names are big corporations and because CDPR is just an indy developer that self publishes so they clearly aren't out for people money and have everyone's best interest in mind.

Hey remember that time that the CEO of CDPR came out and said "crunch isn't that bad" and immediately needed to issue an apology? They clearly have everyone's best interest in mind...

@MisterWhen no it can also actually make the industry better. Everyone keeps saying vote with your wallet. Thats what I am doing. I want to play the game but I am not willing to support these practices.

In my instance the compromise is to vote with my wallet and buy used. Can I afford to buy it? Yes I am sitting on $150 in psn credit at the moment. Will I buy it new? No for the reasons outlined above.

Edit: posted this before I saw your response.

@nessisonett thank you for having a reasonable outlook on this.

@MisterWhen to be clear you are welcome to not like my stance on this.

However that being said i am also entitled to my own opinion and choices.

I do not like how two faces cdpr were regarding crunch culture. The publicly came out and stood against it and then FORMALLY enforced it on their employees. That's strike one

Strike 2 was when the game was deemed ready enough to go gold and then a week later they needed to delay it to prepare for their 43 gb patch. If the game needs to be delayed after going gold then it isn't gold

Strike 3 was their review practices. Telling reviewers and members of the community that they could only use b roll.footage from their trailers and only review on pc is ridiculous. The console versions were hidden until launch. This shows that cdpr knew the game wasn't ready. B roll footage is polished footage from a controlled environment that just wasn't used in a trailer. This is not indicative of being honest.

I buy 98% of my games new. I believe in supporting developers. I have almost 300 digital games across ps4 and ps5 with maybe 20 physical all of which were purchased new. Forgive me if I decide to take a hard stance against a developer who has shown that they are not prepared for this launch and that they don't actually practice what they preach.

TLDR honestly I don't care if my stance is unpopular its my stance and I am allowed to take it.

The thing is that if this were ANY other company not named CDPR the backlash would be insane.

This is not a good look at all. CDPR has been talking out of both sides of their mouths with all of the hype up to this game. From crunch culture, to the game "going gold" only to need another 43 gb patch, to the review codes and embargos being insane. I saw a reviewer say that they were not allowed to use their own footage for the review and was required to use CDPR "b-roll" they loved the game apparently but couldn't put out a review because they were prevented from using their own footage.

This is not a good look at all. I WANT the game, and I have a PS5 so I am not worried about the hitches shown here, but given everything that has happened ill wait for a used copy and get the free ps5 upgrade.

I'm not going to actively support cdpr here.

@Mpquikster considering its the ultimate edition coming with the season pass and extras and its the same price as the regular edition. Yes that is a sale.

@TheIdleCritic i loved bloodstone! Easily my favorite bond game.

I was not expecting this announcement but I am pleasantly surprised.

This has SO MUCH potential!

@SilkySmile89 i would love this but I believe legacy of kain was Eidos and that is currently owned by Square enix

I mean games have been steadily increasing in cost here in Canada for years. Even before the ps5 gen.

During the ps4 gen games went from 69.99 to 79.99 and similarly in ps3 gen they went from 59.99 to 69.99.

Now we are at 89.99 plus taxes here which takes us over 100 dollars Canadian for a game.

I guess I am just used to the price going up and me being able to buy fewer games each gen.

@TheIdleCritic 1000% agree.

I made the mistake of posting a playstation themed tattoo to the ps4 subreddit once and was torn to shreds for it. God forbid i be happy with a choice I made...

I am usually very hesitant to call myself a gamer despite the fact that I have been gaming since the NES, because I dont want to be lumped in with the insanely large amount of entitled jerks there are out there these days.

I have a very close circle.of friends, and even some of my family I refuse to speak to because they all exhibit behaviors that are incredibly toxic. I don't have time for it in my life.

Even on push square I don't participate in a whole lot of conversation because I just can't bring myself to deal with the entitlement. I think its because I have gotten older and I have seen the dramatic shift in this social media culture but I just don't have the time or the patience for it anymore.

@TheIdleCritic Haha touchè... maybe I should have said the covid crisis reinforced it for me.

I have always believed humans were selfish its just only gotten worse in the age of social media, tack on the covid crisis and you see peoples true colors.

@InsertUsername its true, if there is one thing that I have learned from this whole Covid 19 mess its that people of all walks of life are selfish and entitled and only want things that benefit them. It doesn't matter if it has consequences to other people.

@BansheeNorn not sure why you felt the need to come at me... I wasn't saying you can't plan your purchase.

I was saying maybe we shouldn't be happy that peoples personal information is being plastered across the internet.

All these hackers are doing is causing Capcom to now have spend more of their resources on containing the information. Resources that can be spent on other things like you know finishing development on that game you are so clearly excited for.

Trying to justify the fact that people who really have done nothing wrong now have a bunch of their personal data in the hands of someone they didn't approve makes you no better than those that caused the issue in the first place.

How would you like it if all.of a sudden you went to work and got an email that said " hey sorry, someone hacked us and now they know all about where you live, your phone number, and a bunch of other things that can be used against you, such as government identification?

@nessisonett I have a feeling this will get worse before it gets better.

And the fact that people are celebrating the leak is beyond irritating.

@BansheeNorn while you are entitled to your own opinion. I fail to see how anything coming out of this is a positive.

As excited as I am about Village this isn't a positive when peoples personal info is at stake.

This is ridiculous. People like this are garbage and the reason we can't have nice things.

@God_of_Nowt honestly same...

First it was the puddles
Then the upgrade of peters face
Then the save transfer(warranted)
Then there wasn't "enough" work done to justify a remaster

I am over it

"But they didn't do enough to justify charging $20 for this" - basically anyone online the day it was announced...

Seriously though, good for insomniac showing what they have done and how it affects the game. Can't wait to play it again on ps5.

I went from 34 to 454. Must have been those 57 plats that bumped me up.

But my battery life!!!! /sarcasm

@NEStalgia nowhere in my quote did I imply that this was the cap. I simply implied that the free upgrades for existing ps4 games are meant to improve framerates to 60fps and are not the same as a remaster.

Whether you think this remaster is worth it is again your prerogative and you are entitled to buy or not buy it. Claiming this should have been free or not exist at all is nonsense because this is not the same as the free upgrades being provided.

Thats it, thats all there is to it.
