It's disappointing and as much as I like trophies it will never put me off buying a game.

@TasteMaker It's more of a joke because I don't think he's used it for any other game.

My nephew got a Series S just for Starfield. I hope he kept the receipt.

@LowDefAl The thing is the DF guys should be seeing what everyone else is seeing in that nearly every example shown just completely destroys the atmosphere that the games intended while giving every character the Instagram filter.

Yeah I wasn't impressed and Digital Foundry hasn't covered themselves in glory with their article. John Linneman even mentioned on BlueSky that he wasn't even told about it.

@HRdepartment Oh wow I didn't know that.
I suspect that this will be more like their movie soundtracks rather individual NiN songs.

@Enuo Yeah I think it's their first gaming soundtrack.

Blasphemous and Tekken make it a good update for me.

If they really are releasing PS6 next year then I wonder if games like Intergalactic will be cross gen?

@PuppetMaster I forgot about Alundra sadly. I think the first Arc the lad is on there and I wasn't aware that Wild Arms had that many entries.
I would love The Getaway to come back but I remember that game had real world shops and brands so it's probably a licensing nightmare.

I was kinda shocked that Sony didn't make it a standalone release. Though I suppose if they did that it would set the expectation that they planned to support it for a long while.

I think Sony does care about retro releases, they went to the trouble of building a new PS2 emulator because the previous one wasn't good enough. And that wouldn't have been cheap. But if publishers and rights holders aren't interested then there isn't much they can do.
As for their own games, there isn't really that many left that they can realistically add (if we leave out PS3.)
Wipeout and Gran Turismo is off the table because of licenses, so the only ones I can think off is God of War, Ratchet & Clank and Ico.

Sorry folks for my comment that was having a dig at game pass. I was in a bit of mood so I threw out a comment that wasn't really adding anything to the conversation other then negativity, so I've deleted it.

@Questionable_Duck I made a mistake on Sonic there, thought it was day one.

I think it's obvious now that Sony only have Disney and Bandai Namco that are willing to have their old games emulated.

It's crazy to think that Fortnite would have probably died years ago had they not made the free BR mode.

I don't think anything would be cozy with Daxter.

It has its place but I think it's still computational expensive when it comes to performance. I think AI upscaling tech like PSSR and DLSS are more potential game changers.

I mean you could only review what was available. I remember Cyberpunk got a 3/10 on here I think and while the game is truly great, it was a correct score for the state it was released in.

@Rich33 100% agree.

@Rich33 I don't know how often the term is used in France, I remember looking it up because I wanted to know what it meant
It does remind me of the time when King (the company behind Candy Crush Saga) sued an indie studio because their game called The Banner saga had the word saga in it.

The directions that the major companies are going in is interesting.
Valve - Traditional PC gaming but also offering console like hardware in small quantities.
Xbox - Blurring the line between consoles and PC.
Nintendo - Continuing on with the hybrid handheld/console approach.
PlayStation - Traditional console experience but with much rumoured Steam Deck like handheld.

Kind of respect LRG what they try to do (bringing back old games or physical releases) but if you can't do it to consistent quality standard then what's the point.

Clair Obscur is a French word to describe an art technique. So its bloody cheeky of them to think they own that term. These kind of lawsuits are usually enacted to scare people off, especially if they know the opposition can't afford the legal fees.

I'm glad Sony delayed it to add voice acting because it does so much more for the story.

@Balaam_ Just be grateful he didn't mod it just to play Doom.

@graymamba Exactly mate.

@HRdepartment "4 big games in two years is pretty sad tbh." That cadence isn't much different then the PS4 era really.

I just don't see a situation where anyone can release next gen hardware at a competitive price for at least two years.
I still think Sony should focus on their handheld first then release PS6 around late 2028 at the earliest.

No Ringo, no go.

@PuppetMaster Absolutely right. I remember been disappointed that Marvel Tokon will only have 4 characters in it's first season but the cadence lines up with most other fighting games now.

@HRdepartment And I'll vote outstanding to balance it out.

I found out recently that it takes Capcom around three months to make a new character and then another two months to make costumes. Also I think they lost some external developers too which slowed things down. That's why it'll be 5 months between C-Viper and Alex releasing.

@PuppetMaster Yeah that's pretty cool. I just unlocked Elena in World Tour mode tonight.
I suspect they might be saving an Ingrid teaser for Capcom Cup.

It's sadly not doing much for me. I think I find there's just so many hack and slash games in that kind of setting now that I need it to stand out more. But I hope for those that I have wanted Onimusha to return will enjoy it.

@LogicStrikesAgain I hope you're right mate. It's just after the Bluepoint closure (despite understanding Sony's reasons) was a shock especially for me who's a big fan of the idea of Sony having a large family of studios that make a variety of games.

@LogicStrikesAgain Oh I agree 100% and I love that Sony are allowing a game like this to happen. I just worry that the general audience will not be interested. Returnal only sold about a million copies and not many more after that. Maybe I'm just being negative.

That's good for Saros because I think it's going to be a tough sell as it is without other AAAs coming out at the same time.

Good luck in trying to get that 30% take of every game sold when everyone just buys on Steam.

I find it interesting that the game carries the PS Studios brand now. I wonder if Bungie have fully transitioned into a 1st party studio now.

The only game I played from these was God of war. Up against tough opposition this month.

After years of putting up with PC port beggars for games like Bloodborne. I do find this a bit funny.

I was a bit bummed out that Lucy didn't get a moon stage, seemed like a no brainer...oh well.

People wanting games to fail will never not feel asinine to me.

@PuppetMaster Yeah probably. Would like to see more costumes though.

Hopefully they tease Ingrid for SF 6.

@PuppetMaster Same thing happened to Concord as well. You can only get so much feedback from friends and peers, actual players will tell you the main problems.

Wish MS can get Iron Galaxy to port KI to PS5.

@nolifebr What I tend to do is get the game day 1 (If I wanted it) and just get season passes when they get discounted.

That's good to know. A lot of the common criticisms was that auto combos were too good and that there wasn't much incentive to tag other characters. It's always going to be a tricky balancing act between being a 4v4 and a 1v1 with assists.
