Jesus, what's with this negativity despite the game doing well, lmao

Just be happy for the devs that their game has been doing great for weeks now. The fact that they are going against the Japanese giant, that being Nintendo, Shift Up's first AAA game did very well for the Japanese market and that's still a good thing

Let's go! Vanillaware cooking another masterpiece! Definitely hoping it plays similarly to Odin Sphere and/or Muramasa

p.s.: Still waiting for that Muramasa Rebirth port to modern consoles

Leave it to Ubisoft to screw everything up as soon as the game gets officially revealed

Give me Ape Escape 3, ICO, Wild ARMS: Alter Code F and God of War 1 & 2 already, Sony.

Okay, I won't lie, that is a pretty sweet CGI trailer though we still need that gameplay trailer

@Frmknst Having a physical copy will always be better than having the game digitally. It seems people still hasn't learned a thing or two when it comes to games getting delisted by the publishers time and time again. And people cry about "video game preservations" but you couldn't even stomach the idea of owning a physical copy

I haven't played the game yet but I've seen some of the outfits and a lot of them still looks sexy and revealing enough that it would make modern Sony puke their guts out. These censorship outrages has been blown out of proportion

Either Nier or new Drakengard game would be fine for me

Sad that we're getting all these Castlevania cross-over contents but no actual new Castlevania games on the horizon.

Make more variety of games that aren't too cinematic feeling with realistic graphics. Make other games other than just 3rd person action. We need more in the lines of JRPG, platformers, fighting games, etc. and we don't need a million $ budgeted titles that takes years to develop. Also, less live-service games. Helldivers 2 is a great success (and all for the good reason but I'm hoping this doesn't go over Sony's head)

If Sony is commited with this "richer experiences" then I hope they would consider all those options

Remains to be seen but I am cautiously optimistic now that we have two new CEO

Wishful thinking but I hope they would do something for their Japanese devs. While Japan Studio is no more (and I'm still salty about it) they need to do something for Team ASOBI outside of just Astrobot

I want to be hyped for this since we're getting another game set in historical Japan to go with GoT, Sekiro, Nioh and RotR but it's modern Ubisoft we're talking about and I want to be cautious about this.

Not a huge Xbox fan but a console market being dominated by Sony would be bad as well. SEGA needs to make a come back.

So far, Wolverine is the only one I'm hyped for in terms of upcoming 1st party titles. Beyond that, I'm not sure but I would love to see what they're cooking (maybe Ghost of Tsushima 2)

The 3rd party support has been great to fill those gaps and quite honestly, I'm looking forward for more.

To anyone who celebrated this acquisition: this is your karma...

"All according to plan" - Sony probably

These 3rd party games has been great and I look forward for more. Sony's investment with Chinese and Korean devs has been amazing and as a result, we get variety of games.

tbh, much as I enjoy PS exclusives like Gravity Rush, GoT and Bloodborne, a lot of the 1st party exclusives that Sony releases nowadays feel very similar with each other, with their 3rd-person over the shoulder cinematics and the fact that Sony starts leaning more towards to live-service games

I'm hoping to see Sony to do more partnership with 3rd party devs

"Game is playable with barely any glitches and bugs
Great graphics
Amazing soundtrack
Unique boss battles
Amazing physics
Plenty of costumes to choose from
Appealing cast of characters
Gameplay is pretty reminiscent of the old games where you can enjoy it from start to finish

......But the game has censorship so 1/10 "

Do... fans of this game even play the game at all?

"83 score on MC? The game is literally unplayable!"

I might pick this up for my PS5 since the Switch version seems to have some problems at the moment (unless there will be a patch soon) but it may take some time for me to actually play the game.

Really a great game. I don't mind it being an action game tbh. I just wish more RPG elements were blended (status ailments, buffs/debuffs, etc.)

That aside, everyone has to start somewhere so good job to Yoshi-P and his team for introducing the game for newer audience

Had this happened to me at the final battle where I chose the 2nd option which took me back to the one before it and I almost threw my controller, lol. Glad they had the wordings fixed

I'm a sucker for anything that is based on historical Japan (GoT, Sekiro, Nioh, etc.) so Rise of the Ronin is my prefered game between the 2. Wasn't all that hyped for DD2. Not saying it's a bad game by any means but I'm just not that big of a fan of medieval fantasy games (with some few exception like Final Fantasy and a couple of souls-game)

Anyway, both games are great. The west seems to be more happy with DD2 while Japan is happy with RoTR. It's a win-win situation IMO

Gotta hand it to Sony for not completely demolishing this fan project. It's understandable considering Bloodborne is still their trademark. Nintendo would have nuked this the moment it goes public

I really need to get into this game soon. I'm not a huge Strategy RPG fan but I'd eat anything Vanillaware cook.

Also, still hoping for Muramasa to be ported on modern consoles.

I'll give this a try. Not exactly something I'm hyped for but Stellar Blade is something I've been keeping my out eye on since the last State of play presentation

Release date for the Rising Tide DLC is sooner than what I expected but it would be nice to go back to FFXVI while taking a break from FFVII Rebirth

I know it won't affect your playthrough that much, can be earned just by playing and are completely optional, but I still think games at full price should NOT have any kind of MTX in it.

Pokemon + waifus but will be gacha mechanic? Sounds ridiculous!

I'm in...

No Gravity Rush either. We GR fans are also getting snubbed by Sony

IX is still my all time favorite. VII comes close in 2nd as my favorite but IX just hits differently with its story, music and characters

Wow, reviews are already coming out. Square is really confident on this one!

Can't wait for the game to drop! Already had my vacation leave scheduled

It's helping Sony, the same way Mario Kart is helping Nintendo. It's their own IP. Uncle Phil sure loves calling out one company but loves playing buddy-buddy with the other.

I'll only listen to his words by the time Xbox releases all of their games in all platform. Until then, his words means nothing

Can't really make a statement without throwing shades to your competitor eh, Phil?

Seriously, let your business strategy do the talking and see if it works and stop with the nonsensical "eww, exCluSiviTy!" PR talk B.S.

Between the recent big hitters like Tekken 8 and upcoming games like FFVII Rebirth, I'm happy that Relink did very well. I'm really enjoying the game despite not knowing much about GranBlue's lore. This might become a sleeper hit and will be buried under these major releases but nonetheless, kudos to Cygames for hitting a million. We jrpg fans are eating good!

I'm not a big Xbox fan but I don't want them to stop making consoles. Much of a PS fan I am, I don't want for Sony to dominate the whole console gaming. Competition is necessary for growth. I know Nintendo will also be around for much longer but they're not even bothering with competing and just doing their own thing

lmao, already a day 1 buy for me even before Rebirth was announced. Already pre-ordered

P3 Reload and Granblue Relink are both amazing. But damn, Square shadow dropping FF7 Rebirth demo will take most of my weekends. Might take a while for me to get back to those two games

Love the phasing and pretty much gameplay focused. Kinda spent more time with Kojima near the end though but it's all good.

This SoP made me hyped for Stellar Blade more now

Surprised to see this in today's CES. Pretty skeptical about the movie but I do hope this sparks some interest from Sony to greenlight any potential Gravity Rush 3 or at least remaster Gravity Rush 2

This is my personal goty this year, though it was a tie between this and AC6 but I'll give it to FF16 since I enjoyed the story and characters in that game. On the other hand, I'll give it to AC6 for having a fun gameplay overall

I know people love longer games nowadays but I hope the length of the story doesn't drag far too long and that the pacing wouldn't be slow because that's where I'll be focusing on in Rebirth

1. FF7 Rebirth
2. Grandblue Fantasy Relink
3. Persona 3 Reload
4. Rise of the Ronin
5. Visions of Mana

Also, Tekken 8, Eiyuuden chronicles, Alone in the Dark, Blue Protocol and Unicorn overlord

This year is for us JRPG lovers and I'm so excited.

Open-world doesn't always mean the game will be great. In fact, JRPG works well if they're not fully open-world, but rather, with large open areas. Case in point, DQ11, Ni No Kuni and Xenoblade

I'm all for this and will definitely get Visions of Mana once released.

I"m so excited for this. I was worried that this was going to be a gacha mobile game but I'm glad it's a proper JRPG. I grew up with Legend of Mana and while it's not the best in the series, it's the Mana game I remember fondly and replay countless of times. I hope I get to enjoy this just as much as LoM

I love Kojima for MGS, ZoE and Death Stranding but man those memes are just funny.

At the end of the day, I just think Geoff don't want a repeat of Judge's speech last year and I'm sure it's not his intention to disrespect the winners

This year had been an amazing year for games in general. Regardless of which game won, I think we had plenty for 2023. I'm just happy that there's a lot of great games for everyone to choose from for this year

Gotta thank Rise for finally getting into the MH games so I can look forward to this as well.

Looks like Capcom will be skipping Switch and that's to be expected. Nintendo might want to announce their next gen console if they want that new MH sugar

Early 2024 is already packed. P3 Reload, Granblue Fantasy Relink, FFVII Rebirth and now Rise of the Ronin. My wallet is already crying and my backlog is not looking good lol
