Ready to spend the whole game blowing out kneecaps. They may never walk again, but they'll live.

200K copies seems very achievable for the next game from the Shovel Knight team.

I really enjoyed the demo, but even there with the abundance of flying enemies I felt almost required to bring a flying hero into the fight. I kept whiffing my air shots with Wolverine, but had an easier time lining up with Phylla-Vel once I had her fly up to their level.

@get2sammyb I think there's a place holder mistake in the second to last paragraph with "NAME HERE" in place of the shop name.

Been playing Rocket League on-and-off since it first released and finally got the Platinum last year, first trophy earned in 2015. 9 years of slowly grinding to earn it, I'm proud of that one.

I'd be curious to see if there's an uptick of disc-drive sales following this.

@Orpheus79V True, technically there's 3 different version of Persona 5 available in the store since Royal PS4 and Royal PS5 are sold as 2 wholly separate products.

Why remove Yakuza 0 availability on PS4? Enough people still play on PS4 to warrant keeping a version circulating on the store.

Could never get it to stop crashing on my PS5, even after I started a 2nd character to get the last few trophies for the Platinum (clean up of ones I had on PS4), but I still love it so much. One of my favorite games!

Craziest part of this is that OpenAI is deeply unprofitable while doing this, they do not have the money to gobble up 40% of the world supply of DRAM on top of their usual spending, but are doing it anyway.

It's a nice upgrade, just wish it actually brought some new content like an Egghead map to go with the DLC characters, or the missing pre-time skip Straw Hats from the older games.

Also copying forward the PS4 save data unlocks most of the trophies too, except like 6 gameplay ones you can easily get in like 20 minutes.

@nomither6 I wholeheartedly agree. Games shouldn't be announced if they're over 18 months out from release, maybe 2 years at most.

2026 is pretty packed for Playstation already. Saros & MLB in spring, Wolverine in the summer, Marvel Tokon and (likely) Marathon are due out 2026, then finally the GTA6 partnership means Sony will promote that in the Autumn. It makes sense for Intergalactic to lead the 2027 year.

MS for sure saw this coming, but they're really not in an "invest on side-business" mood, so Surface and Xbox aren't getting the funding & help to secure the extra parts (if Xbox seems help deprived, the Surface team has been on life support for years now). The whole operation is mostly spending money on AI hardware and software, so any extra DRAM would have been bought and hoarded by that division.

3 years, 3 wildly different Prince of Persia games. I hope this one is as good as side-scrollers were, would really cap-off a quality run the franchise hasn't had since the early 00's trilogy.

After only serving as set-dressing in the last Bond film, as Bond stuck to the Goldfinger and Living Daylights Aston Martin's throughout, it's finally getting it's time to shine in a James Bond project.

Played the PC demo a couple weeks ago and it's pretty good. It feels like an evolution of the Little Nightmares formula, while changing it up enough that it's still uniquely separate.

I don't like some of the changes to the game-play formula. Reduced interactivity is big making me feel less immersed in the world, like pushing a plank, operating a lever or opening a door is now walking up to the object and pressing "triangle" when it's highlighted to activate an animation rather than using physics to move the object.

Figured they would do this eventually, but a week after release seems real sudden.

Linus already mentioned in the LTT Steam Machine video that it's going to be priced competitively "like a PC", and gave his own thoughts on why that would be the case. This ain't exactly news-news.
If I had to guess it's going to be around Mac Mini prices, which is like $800 for the version people should buy. I can see Valve selling the 512GB version for $750 and then $1K for the 2TB version.

Not expecting something for free, but when I saw it on the store I hoped to find a 1-time DLC for older users, like 1 million credits for $10 or a discounted 2 million option.

I wish the color palette stuck closer to the series, it's throwing off the whole look. Game itself looks decent enough, the 3 modes seem like fun fits & varied.
Just need Whyte as Qwark's VA to be confirmed, this premise needs the voice to be right.

Please, please let it be real.🙏 CTR is my favorite kart game and building up on the Nitro Fueled foundation would be wonderful.

S-Snake? Guess they wanted the easy route reusing a bunch of Hancock's moves. Of the Seraphim S-Hawk would have been cooler, since Daz Bones has never been playable & they'd still get to cheap out reusing some of Mihawk's moves.

@PegasusActual93 Yeah I'm exaggerating for effect, but I wouldn't call the wait periods long either. Last time I went to a gun store it took like an hour at most, from picking one to walking out. For me at least, long would be waiting multiple hours or even having to return another day.

It really is about the gun culture aspect imo, even places with plenty of guns like México don't revere ownership or make it as easy to buy a pistol, much less a large gun. In the US you can go into a large store like Walmart and walk out with a rifle in like 10 minutes (may take a bit longer in some States), you just can't recreate that truth in another country.

It looks pretty nice for it being early days. A lot to still do obviously, but not bad at all.
It's weird that Aang seems to only be using air bending to fight, I'd expect him to mix in the other elements, like Korra's doing. Her main combat element is fire & it's reflected properly here with most of her combo's opening with a fire attack.

Remembered P1 & P2 exist! I think remasters of the PSP versions could be very doable, like P3P got, PSP EP deserves a worldwide release after all these years. Would be nice to give them more voice acting, but I wouldn't expect Atlus to invest that much into such ports.

I'm way more sensitive to motion sickness with first-person games so I'm very happy for this mode. I'll likely get the complete edition once the new expansion is out

@nomither6 CTR is also my favorite karting game of all time! While I despise Jak X, LBPK is a very fun karting game.
What I mean is that it was the last Naughty Dog Crash game and after that we only had Crash bash before it went multiplatform. Similarly the other 2 franchises also had 1 more game, The Lost Frontier and LBP3, before Sony lost interest in continuing them (for various reasons).

The most shocking thing here as that TheChineseRoom made a competent combat system.

I think the money route is plushies, rather than plastic figures, with Astrobot wearing different outfits from other 1st and 3rd party games.
Just never release a kart game as that was the beginning of the end for Crash, Jak and LBP as mascot properties.

Rest in Peace

Gameplay has always been the weak point for the studio, & one would think they're cognizant of this. Hopefully they don't throw a gazillion dollars into it and budget it responsibly, like Remedy did for Firebreak.

It's a neat piece of tech, just prohibitively expensive.
I wish the comparisons were clearer here, it would be good to at least know the power profiles used for both machines.

@B_Lindz probably a lot less, Sony would undoubtedly subsidize it & cut some corners to hit closer to Switch 2 price. This is sold at $1K for profit with both Asus and MS taking a bite of that margin.

A full-on remake makes sense if this is meant to target everyone & isn't just an excuse to put the game on PS like GoW1 was.

@dancingstar93 thank you! I have to get around to playing FFV.

3rd person melee action and puzzles? ICO remake incoming!

This is why they have Nixxes and Bluepoint as in-house solutions. With plenty of 3rd parties like Sabre & Panic Button that can do the work too.

Cheaper than a PS5 Pro at launch is interesting given PS5 prices have only risen with time. Would PS6 launch at $600 while the PS5 Pro is still $750 and the PS5 Slim $550? If PS5 prices drop $100-150 next year across the line we'll see some validity to the rumors.

SE usually hits in the art department, specially for FF games, but I question Kain's fit, I would never have recognized him in that without the pic showing his dragoon armor in the back (the rest are fantastic). Though it doesn't really feel like Dissidia without the playable big bads.

Who's the kid between the FFXIV(?) goth and Cloud?

I put an ungodly amount of hours on this game and a fair amount on the Vita version too, rough as it was. I'm surprised other kart racers haven't copied the weapon system, allowing you to stack & make more powerful weapons.

Girl from tropical island is wearing a bikini, short-shorts & has a tan, then throw in some fighting gloves so you remember she's here to fight. It's about as generic as can be, with only the thick bracelets standing out. Her costume 3 look is much better, and color matched to her powers. All that said, she does look fun to play.

@4fold did you watch the trailer? You can see plenty of jiggle in the victory scene over Zafina, and a tasteful amount when talking to Sergei & during her ultimate move.

Just drop Duodecim on the PS Store like they did for Resistance Retribution please. I don't even need trophies, I just want the game to be out of PSP hell.

There's really no need to be cheap on a "Deluxe Edition" of a game.

@PuppetMaster Sorry to intrude, but Remedy is doing all that too just at a smaller scale given they're not Capcom sized. They're making a Max Payne remake and Control 2, so they are giving their fans what they want while making new things. To continue your Capcom comparison this is their Exoprimal, a multiplayer shooter that tried something different & failed.

It's wild that you'll now be able to have a complete 3v3 all Goku fight without a single repeat character or a fusion, count is at 6 Goku's & 4 Vegeta's (counting Super Baby 2).

The eventual Trilogy pack is where it's at for physical collectors, or maybe a special 4-pack that features Reunion as well with the classic Buster Sword menu screen as box-art.

Time for the expanded version that adds a ton of content and leaves people that already got the game without an upgrade path.

I still wonder what Sony-Bungie's expectations of it are to quantify a success, it's a niche extraction shooter where the biggest player is something like Tarkov.
