They're likely banking on GTA6 selling these console in droves, which isn't a bad bet.

Seeing the change on my iPad and Galaxy phone.
Kinda funny that not a single one of their own games gets this privilege, but the one game that's going sell by the truckload even if they never drop another trailer gets all this. I do get it, marketing loves spending on surefire bets that will easily recoup whatever money they put into it. But imagine if Saros or Marathon got a similar push on the app & console? Maybe it convinces a bunch more people to take notice & hopefully buy it.

Even small indie fighting games release with rollback netcode nowadays, there's no excuse for KT to do this. Also they can't possibly be making enough money from the MOUNTAIN of over-priced DLC outfits to justify porting it like this.

Please let this lead into a new BB game. 🙏
Also, please bring back the eng dubs for future entries or a re-release of this, they were great and it was a hard blow having to play #4 in jap after playing 1-3 in eng. It just didn't feel right.

Please let it be a new WipEout 🙏

I would guess they will do a release similar to RDR2, SP in November and MP in May-June. Get the kids hooked as soon as the school year ends.

So many people are going to spend the $100, but I'll happily stick to the base version and make do with what we get.

@MARl0 It is a subscription that gives you a bunch of benefits and advantages for GTA Online, plus access to a bunch of older Rockstar games.

Guessing no physical game map included either?
Take-Two are just doing it because they know they can get away with it for GTA6, they could smear 💩 in the box and it would still sell like crazy. Blatant anti-consumer behavior.

Damn, this is crazy expensive. Those versions without a controller are a nice gesture towards those that already bought the stand-alone controller and don't mind only having one.
AMD just released the FSR4 update for RDNA3 cards so it's at least getting a nice upscaling upgrade over PS5.

I absolutely adored playing this on Switch. It's a real blast, perfect for playing cozied up on the bed.

I hope Bosch is at least back for Adachi, he was such a great fit for the character. Persona dubs have historically been great, with great care going into them, so yeah the og cast will be missed a lot specially when no one is getting recast in Japanese.
That said, I think it's nice giving work to a younger generation of VAs like the OG's did 20 years ago, when Yuri, Bailey, Bosch, Mignogna, Ruff, etc weren't huge VA names and instead just the quality people you hired.

A smaller arcade game from them in between the bigger releases would be dope. I'm not a big roguelike/roguelite fan so I never bothered with Returnal, still considering getting Saros since it's meant to be more approachable, but I had so much fun with their earlier games.

For a moment I thought this was a remaster announcement and got very excited.
Really love Madness Return, though the levels tend to outstay their welcome and the gameplay isn't anything special, the game comes together to make something that's unique. Alice 1 is also a special experience. It's clunky and looks its age, but the story and world are still so wonderfully unique. It's worth pushing through what doesn't work to experience the whole of McGee's vision, plus it comes free with Alice 2 so nothing lost giving it a chance.

It was the big announcement of the showcase, makes sense to highlight it for a couple of days while the internet is still buzzing. Soon enough they'll move ahead to focus Wolverine and we won't hear about Laufey for another year, as it disappears into the ether to join Intergalactic.

Going the extra effort to design a whole 3rd-person mode, locked behind a Skull and that few people will use, is impressive dedication. Camera positioning reminds me of the SW Battlefront games.

An ICO remake from Bluepoint would have made so much sense, having all of Ueda's games playable on PS4/5. Maybe a TLG 60fps update to go along with it too.

It's an amazing game! Very happy it's now out of Wii/Vita jail, everyone deserves a chance to play it.

@GravyThief It is a really thought out naming scheme, relating to each game in the collection, to explain the numbers. For KH2.8 Final Chapter: the main game in 2.8 is Dream Drop Distance from the 3DS (hence the 3D name) which is KH 2.6 because it follows the 2.5 Remix, then the KH3 prologue has the "Birth by Sleep" name so it is 0.2 (because BBS is 0.1), and the KHX cutscenes included are 0 because no Sora. So 2.6+0.2+0= 2.8

They didn't change up Tartarus at all and I expect the same to apply here. There's bigger variety with each dungeon carrying a unique theme, so the graphical upgrade should be more impactful than it was in P3R.

A logo and revealing the main color will be green is more than nothing, I'm left absolutely whelmed. So the games go: purple, red, blue/pink, yellow, red again and green.

Smart move! Look generous and kind, get some good PR.
I think this wouldn't have happened if they did as other games do (eg Helldivers 2 & Astro Bot) and had the "Deluxe Edition Upgrade" as separate DLC people can buy if they own the base game, but you live and learn.

It looks glorious! Lost my ***** seeing Sapphire Weapon in glorious 4K.
I've always been loyal to fielding Tiffa as a monk, but that black mage outfit is too beautiful. I'll have to equip more offensive magic on her when I do use her.

Looks great! Can't wait to finally play a new Ueda game.

They improved visual resolution recently and it's so much nicer now. Game does need an easier way to farm super credits, it's a pain doing it alone on lower levels, specially if you don't get a radar side-objective.

It always felt odd to me that the Spider-Man games got NG+ after release given Insomniac's previous track record. Even Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart features the mode on the disc too and that released between Spider-Man games.

@tameshiyaku a big motorcycle is his usual form of transportation, when he's not lunging or getting thrown by Colossus.

Sounds great! I hope there's a couple of more open levels like Ratchet & Clank games have, would be cool to half some side missions where you're asked to track a target over a more open environment.

I wouldn't mind if they move on from Kratos, Valhalla seemed to close out his story really well.
Only thing I could see is him returning to Greece to fix what he broke. I felt like Valhalla was asking if making amends and being better™️ really counts if you're doing it far away from the people you hurt, & your amends do nothing for them. Which I think is a really strong point. He's always been good and helpful to the people of the 9 Realms, only killing in self-defense. Obviously that story was never going there & I don't see how you move from Valhalla's ending to traveling to Greece without another massive time skip, which would then beg the question why Greece couldn't get better on their own after so long.

It's an uglier version of Legends, with a camera tilt gimmick and some on-rails levels bolted-on between worlds. The extra world and musical stages sound great, though! It's still a very pretty game, but it cannot match the style Origins and Legends went for with UbiArt. I'm sure it's going to be a great game, because Legends is a great game.
Seems to me like all that effort should have gone to making a sequel to Legends instead. It wouldn't be the end of the world to remix stages & carry over stuff from Origins and Legends to fill up the level count in a Rayman 6.

Green Goblin! So very happy to finally have him in a fighting game.

Origins is such a fantastic game, glad more people will get a chance to play it on modern consoles.

Also, why can't they just upload the original asset they got? This is the 2nd Ubisoft leak, after the Assassin's Creed MP game, where the leaker AI upscales the assets clearly changing parts of the image (poor Betilla).

It's a whole different look, and a worse one at that. Almost as if someone grabbed Rayman Legends key-art and told a chatbot to make it 3d. The characters already had 3D models in Legends, while the world was still mostly 2D like in Origins, which makes the complete change in art direction even more senseless.

EDIT: the art being upscaled by AI would explain what happened to the poor fairy in the background. Though I don't remember them being in Legends, probably a sign that it includes the Origins levels.

@AverageGamer it's been a long time since they last tried variety. When MW4 releases 8 of the last 10 games while have been either MW or BO, with the 2 WW2 games rounding it out. It's time to try again, who knows maybe the people that grew up during the more creative phase will be more receptive to it than the older core were back then.

3 Modern Warfare games in 5 years is way too much, they really need some variety in the line-up.

I'll try to make some time for it and dip in for a while, see how it's changed since the beta.
I wish they could have a permanent demo for it. Maybe make one of those PS+ Extra 1-hour game trials, but available for everyone to play? A way for people to dip their toe in whenever.

@SoulsBourne128 rpgsite has more pictures and they show MC kissing one of the guys, looks more intense. MC's an equal opportunity kisser.

I hope they at least called him into the studio to try doing a different voice before going for the more expensive recast option. I'm glad the studio is listening to feedback to get things right!

This just made no sense for a studio like Quantic Dream. They're a NetEase subsidiary so it made even less sense to push them in this direction, they have enough successful live service games to subsidize and keep the single player studios running while they make less successful single player games (that still make plenty of money).

I really liked this feature in GOW Ragnarok, but that failed to hide the compass as well. I had it as a swipe down on the touch pad which was perfect for it. Great for a quick picture or to capture a clean short video.

This could be really good, the team is a good fit for the world, but the focus will be very important. Especially what story they want to tell and which part of Middle-Earth will they focus on, we getting a Rohan game, a Gondor game, we going someplace new?
Hoping for the best and they create a banger!

Crazy choice to show the whole game in the trailer.
Xbox gets the free upgrade regardless of what they originally paid for it, but if anyone wants to buy the game new, it's cheaper on PS than on Xbox. nobody wins. Should have just been free for everyone with no price bumps, like the upgrade for Darksiders 2.

I've always thought a more horror themed Resistance game set in Russia could be interesting, but it might feel like it's aping Metro if done at this point.
Agree about Jak 2 being the worst of the main trilogy, the driving is unacceptably bad for such a major part of the game. Thankfully X and TLF are both awful, so it ranks middle of the pack in the whole series.

@PuppetMaster I hope that's true, I had a blast with it.
I adore that it gives you the og game to play at the end. It's such a nice little bonus! I wish more remakes/remasters followed it's footsteps with that choice.

• Medievil seems obvious with a remake of #2, the team that remade #1 is still around, just get them to do it.
• Soul Sacrifice, I've been playing Delta on my Vita recently and it's such a fantastic concept and fun to play, though the execution isn't amazing. Could do with a rethink to elevate it.
  Other: Puppeteer! Remaster the game for PS5, it's a legit treasure that didn't get a proper chance to succeed.

AWS makes good story modes for their fighting games, though they've simplified with time I'm glad Strive's long movie isn't the new standard for them. They are mostly thick visual novels with some fights between segments, seems this is doing that again just in comic-book trappings.
I remember in BB1 you actually had to lose an early fight using Carl to reach his true ending, not super hard considering his puppet style is rather complex.

I like the coin from 1 one, it looks fine. Shame they didn't include the medallion from GA, the gold and blue look would pop as an icon.

I'd guess the point is to bring back the UbiArt engine with fancier features, but basically every game made using that engine is still a stunner over a decade later so I don't think any of them really benefit from a remake. On that topic, I'd love a new Child of Light.

I hope they take the opportunity to expand the Back to Origins to include the full game, making it a proper 2-in-1, and maybe change the hubworld. Those 2 things would make it worthwhile.

They just can't win, there's a subset of the community that wants the game to be tougher and the one represented here that wants it closer to a power fantasy, even on the toughest difficulties.

I do agree that the decision to put the new mechs behind a paywall is bad and shouldn't be rewarded. They're the one consistent thing added to the free ship store over time, rewarding both long time players and newer players, as unlike free Super Credits getting every other resource is much faster and also hard capped. It's been my long held opinion that the resource caps should be raised by a lot.
