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.

Certainly looks interesting, but I wish there were some gameplay shown.
I could see Focus Interactive throwing Cyanide a lifeline since they've worked together a lot in the past.

I'm not necessarily against doing skimpier armor sets specially if it works both ways, a good barbarian build wearing a leather diaper and boots is classic fantasy stuff, but I feel like this doesn't really fit the grimdark tone of the franchise.

The cartoonishly small head on the big woman is sending me. XD I dig the artstyle, though it's a big tone shift from the rather serious main games.

Famous last words lol

They both look really fun! Solid additions, and nice to see an alt BP get some love.
My wild guesses for the remaining teams are Doom, Green Goblin, Enchantress and Mr Sinister. Then Ghost Rider, Man-Thing, Blade and Moon Knight.

@PuppetMaster Colossus was wish casting rather than me expecting him to show up in the baser roster, just love that character.
If Hulk isn't a grappler, guess there won't be any, as he is closest to the mold ArcSys likes for them. Uncommon for ArcSys but I think FighterZ doesn't either.

Never got around to playing Guacamele 2, but had a blast with the first one on Vita. Drinkbox makes fantastic games.

Credit where it's due, French Bread manage to make an enhanced release without making the name longer and more incomprehensible.

I hope they reveal Colossus, the game needs a good grappler like Tager and Potemkin.

@j2c buy the most-complete edition 2 years from now and you'll have both asks in there. They added 1v1 in FighterZ after a couple of years so the option will likely arrive here eventually, just don't expect them to balance it like Skullgirls did.

If they want to go nuts they'll release it at $60, but it will most likely be $70 keeping to the current standard. They want to sell shark cards and maximizing good will with the initial price will help towards that, along with maximizing the install base larger.

@TimeDelayedGamer True, but he looked older.

Wonder if it still comes with a physical map?

So now the only value of making a console your primary is for playing purchased games in alt accounts? This is just creating friction for friction's sake again.
There wasn't anything wrong with the old system of no checks for the primary PS5/4 (it's been my primary PS5 for 4 or 5 years now, why does Sony need a monthly check in from me?). Nor even with the old-old system- where as long as your system was registered to your account you could play any installed game offline (still how it works on Vita).

He's 31, right? He's on the younger side for a movie Bond, but I could see it happening, it's been long enough since the last Irish Bond.

I played it on Vita many years ago and had a blast. It's one of my favorite FF's along with 4 and 7, and it takes the top spot in story.

@Athrum they will be edited out with pick-ups after Miyazaki sends his formal complaint.

@PuppetMaster I see the resemblance! Dokuro was gorgeous, if only it weren't so annoying to play due to the careless princess.

Nos surprising with Namco having a death grip on all the major anime video game licensing.

I get TCR got stuck with this mess of a game, but I would like to see what they could do with a clean start on a World of Darkness game. Something that plays to their strengths in storytelling and game design.

Need a wallpaper of that shot of The King in Yellow (?) looking majestic on his throne at 0:44.

I don't think saying this publicly was the right move. While I'm not against Xbox having exclusives again they really should only comment on it if there's going to be a change.

Please let it be for AC1, it needs it the most.

@Yousef- Yeah, I'm fine with either option at this point as long as we get some decent QOL improvements in them. The first game in particular needs a way to adjust the encounter rate, having a fight every 4 steps becomes annoying real fast.

Great addition, I stopped playing fairly early into the game because I felt like I was missing important context. Decided I should watch the anime before returning to the game and never got around to doing either. lol

@nessisonett hoping and praying that they do. It's like they exist just to show us things can get worse than the land tailing missions.

I'm really happy to now finally be able to play as base GT Vegeta in a Tenkaichi game, before it's only been SSJ4 with every other Vegeta being the Baby possessed versions. Hope the mustache is added as an accessories!
Glad we're finally getting Kami's Outlook and Kame House, which really should have been in the base game.

I think there's some real truth here. Just wonder if they'll get new remasters with new music and scripts (like they got on PSP), or if Atlus will give them the P3P treatment where it's just the PSP game with trophies.

Black Flag is a great pirate game and a mediocre AC game, it's probably going to be a hard balancing act if they're adapting the game to the modern AC style. Ideally you'd want to enhance the shore leave sections of the game with better combat, stealth and movement, but without keeping people away from the more memorable sailing side because you made on-foot things harder to get through.
If they don't take this opportunity to make the "follow this guy to eavesdrop" missions much less of a pain to do it will all have been for naught.

@Oram77 I'm getting Battle Angel vibes myself

Glad that she's healthy again.

@PuppetMaster Dhalsim is only 44 in SFV (born in 1952 and SFV is 1996) even though he looks ancient.

That's great! I think Ubi was too hopeful in their expectations for this, given the franchise had been shelved for like a decade before this and the last few games weren't super loved. They needed to build back brand trust, which IMO Lost Crown and Rogue have done.

There's really no saving that he married his adoptive sister, blood related or not, that's just weird. Changing his previous 2 main-game appearances to make it a "childhood friends" situation rather than a "adoptive siblings" situation is just going to make another part of the lore loving fandom mad.

@PuppetMaster They will never mention that she was 17 ever again. If for whatever reason it's brought up again they'll just quietly bump her up to 18, or do 27 and claim the old 1 was a misprint.

@KundaliniRising333 Where can I read about the reason for the director leaving? I've never seen that story about Capcom denying him resources as the reason for him leaving after finishing the game or I guess publishing it, if we're calling it unfinished on release.

I really need to get around to playing it, specially now that DLC seems to be in the horizon. I loved the first one on PS3, and even bought the Switch port years ago to play it again.

So this is being made in-house by Sony Animation, the Spider-Verse and Demon Hunters people? That rules

This makes it even more baffling that they didn't make Bluepoint remaster or remake the game for PS5. lol

MS would have to be wiling to take a big hit not porting games to PS and Nintendo, which by all accounts has been very profitable. Like with Sony, I don't think it would count for live-service games so we'd still get Forza, Halo MP and COD so there's some safeness there.
I just don't see MS taking the hit they would need to take to do this while Nadella is in charge. They're already throwing all the spare cash & more into the AI blackhole, so maximizing profits everywhere else is paramount for them.

Call of the Sea was a lot of fun and really stuck with me so I will for sure play this.

A cleaner look fits the Bond brand better, just keep the 007 logo in the touch pad and let the gold/black colors make the statement. Having the game's name in the back seems mandatory for some reason, which is fine I guess.
Great work on the header image!

I was hoping the city would take up a much bigger portion of the map. It looks huge in comparison to older maps, but still positively tiny overall.

Hope there's some improvements there for the base console too.

Still wondering who though putting Quantic Dreams into a live service action game was a good idea. lol they're cooked if it all hinges on that wizard game doing well.
