Check must have not bounced.

Can you buy the updated Jean D'Arc without plus?

I'm going to chalk this up to my poor reading skills, and not lack of info in article, but can we buy this without a subscription and is there any more info on what the updates and upscale will look like?

As usual, the comment section doesn't disappoint. Worse than a bunch of old church ladies.

A 45 second video with less than 10 seconds of gameplay. Kind of makes me wonder if it's heavily story driven. That would be okay, if the story is good.

Gonna be 2024s biggest disappointment... so far. Can feel it in my bones. Love to be wrong but there are too many signs and definitely one I wouldn't preorder, even if I ever did such a thing. I wouldn't be shocked if this pulls a 7 in reviews, but we shall see.

Most surprising to me is Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake - at just 151 votes (2%)

What won't be surprising is one of the top 3 being one of the most disappointing games of 2024. Willing to bet money on it.

@GymratAmarillo Well, there's analysts saying all of us living near the coast are going to die of great floods too. So, I guess there's always other problems to worry about.

They misspelled "discless wonder", if you ask me. I know there are those that would argue it but I think digital only will be detrimental to consumers. You aren't going to convince me otherwise.

IGN and The Verge. Well, I don't know of two more reputable sources in the biz. (Meaning I know a lot more than two.)

I get the nostalgic value but just take some of those games like Nintendo is doing, along with everyone and his brother, and polish and shine them up for the PS5. Games you played on PS3 for hours and hours seem like a blast from the past, until you fire them up and none of the QoL or other more modern stuff is there.

Nope. Adulting is torturous enough for me.

@KillerBoy Well, the punctuation from, what looks to be, a teen (at best) should tell you something.

Was told the game wasn't for me by their community director. Who would know better? I'll take her word for it.

Hope I am dead wrong but this kind of out-of-the-blue pre-game hype usually leads to something like a ~7 score. I'd rather you underplay a game and then me get excited because it's an 8.

@Bamila That's probably 80 minutes, the way I play, but yeah.... short, either way.

Highly doubt it but try and surprise me.

@ShogunRok Ugh. Same feeling here. The rest of the year is going to be low on AAA titles, to begin with, so this makes it even worse to have to wait.

Winter is coming.

Was the kick off the great gaming drought of 2024. Stay hydrated out there.

What's the demographic they are aiming for here? Serious question.

@PuppetMaster Forgot about Death Stranding 2. Took me two years of having the first on my shelf before cracking it open. It didn't disappoint, and if anything was underrated.

The good news is it sounds like for the PS5 we got Astrobot, Astrobot, and then Astrobot to look forward to. Boy, the future of PS5 is so bright I might need shades!

I guess Sony didn't want the Xbox to be left in disgrace wearing a bag over its head and all by itself. I'd love nothing more to be wrong but gaming isn't looking so great right now and I'm looking more forward to the Switch 2 than anything on this list. (Provided they don't release a console with little to nothing at launch.)

Honestly, at least to me, this console generation started out with a bang and appears to be ending prematurely with a whimper. It had some barn burners and then used remakes and retrogades as crutches.

Go ahead and tell me how wrong I am, nobody wants me to be more wrong than myself. Nintendo proved me wrong because I thought the PiiU would be the end of their hardware days. I hope the rest of the industry proves me wrong and I'll eat that crow raw on a plate and ask for seconds.

@Deoxyr1bose Oh god, that sounds so dreadful it will probably be true and I'm going to blame you for jinxing us. (lol, jk)

Sounds completely un-mainstream, but I guess we'll see...

@IamJT Probably right and I may be one of those sales but have to see the launch games first. Seems to me like Nintendo does have a habit of hit and miss almost every other generation. So, I'll be on the sidelines until I see a must play game or two.

Despite any sales numbers I do feel like this generation of consoles was slightly cursed. Switch had already been fully established years prior to the pandemic.

Oh man, just think of what we may have missed out on for games that never got past this kind of rejection, and then on the other hand, the ones that should have listened.

@Steel76 I'm not sure Dragon Quest 12 needed announcing, either way. I suspected it was a forgone conclusion for most. That it would never be made, would have been more announcement worthy.

@Torque Had Stellar Blade until that b*tch harpy made me rage quit..

@get2sammyb Damn, I don't think I got anywhere near that and I'm nearing the end, I think. Always hard to tell in these games.

The Blue Monsoon one is better than these...

More 13 Sentinels type games, please kind sir....

I almost bit on this game but heard the single player aspect is less than stellar. I have no desire to play multiplayer anything...

Couldn't get into the first game, one of the few Steamworld games I can say that, this already looks better or maybe I'm just wishing it so.

I'm a 1000% convinced that statement did not put it to bed....

@Frmknst Or just try it for free, or the money you already paying for PS Plus. I did the Fallout 4 modern upgrade , and although it was only $10, wasn't worth it.

Playing like I'm doing something important outside, instead of listening to kids scream inside. Happy Mother's Day, everyone.

Microsoft is going the way of SEGA but it's not like anyone has to feel pity for Microsoft. Still a beast of a company with so much going on that the (almost assuredly) demise of their current console isn't surprising. If they can pull off a comeback, that will be more surprising.

@Northern_munkey It's 2024, if people can't find something to complain about within 5 seconds, they make stuff up. I couldn't care less what anyone plays on, or what games they play. It's the latest rage to find outrage wherever you can...

With all the other crappy games that come out, this is okay by me. Keep getting the feeling from some of the not-so-positive gaming news that we are headed into a horrible gaming drought.

I'm probably in a very small minority who the first game didn't click for. Not a big fan of rogue-type titles and definitely not procedural generated dungeons. I probably could have lived with one or the other. Is 2 basically the same combination?

@mariomaster96 Kept thinking this is all Cloud's fever dream. Whether or not, the events are real in that universe was certainly room for debate.

I always know corporate malarkey when I see it, it usually starts with "for your security and safety"....

Stellar Blade this weekend

My hones opinion, I like the game but also think it shows how much of a drought this console generation has been, that we thirst for almost anything with some action, at this point, and especially something that doesn't have that Western hemisphere 2024 filtering on it.

Microsoft gonna be the new SEGA soon....

I know a lot of gamers, not heard one of them who said have you played this game yet?

Yeah, already own it so upgrade was free on Playstation. Played it for an hour or so. Looks really good but same old same old. Sure hope Elderscrolls comes out soon and I live to see Fallout 5.

@Yorozayu Yep. Especially for a named brand gaming co. I notice indies tend to get a benefit of the doubt +1/+2 scoring. At least seems that way to me and I do get the "doing more with less" sentiment.

And for that reason, it's just a no from me dog...
