Just saw Across the Spider-verse recently and gotta admit, the movie got me excited to play this and will keep me busy until the sequel
Anyway, both characters will be great and can't wait to play as both. Peter as the more veteran Spidey and Miles who is still getting the hang of being a Spider-Man
tbh, if I still didn't have a PS5 until now, I would have been salty about this news lol. Well, I'm glad that it's full PS5 now so there's nothing holding this game back.
As someone who enjoyed the Spider-Man 2018 game, I wasn't all that hype back when this was announced in 2021 and I wasn't one of those who have been eagerly asking for a gameplay reveal prior to the last PS showcase but after seeing the gameplay, I am now excited to play this.
@ShogunRok Usually, I would prefer the turn-based mechanic of the older Final Fantasy games but XVI's gameplay looks very fun and polished and I am all for it.
They're probably waiting at least until FFXVI gets released since marketing has been focused on that. Still excited for Rebirth and I don't mind waiting a little bit more. FFXVI will keep me busy until then
It was pretty mid and not worth the hype build up. Overall, there are some great games announced that I liked. There's just a lot of CG trailers there. Understandable for game debuts but you'd think Sony would do less of those
Give them the benefit of the doubt. Take all the time they need to make a great game. With how many games coming out unfinished recently, it's good that some devs are taking their time to cook their games. 2023 is already packed with games as it is and should keep many of us busy anyway
Will try this once released. I'm getting kinda burnt out with Genshin. Still waiting for Honkai Star Rail as well and I know the games are available on PC and mobile but I don't have the best PC specs and mobile gaming really isn't my thing.
This was one of the games I was hoping to be shown in today's presentation. Too bad the release date is still not specific but I am hoping that they stick with the winter 2023 release
It was okay, so many shooters but they don't appeal to me personally so they're pretty meh in my book. MGS3 remake + HD collection was the highlight for me and while the release date wasn't specified, I'm glad Grand Blue Fantasy Relink will finally get a winter 2023 release (I hope there are no delays).
Tower of Fantasy coming to PS5 seems to fly under everyone's radar but understandable and lastly, Spider-Man 2, which looks really good.
Overall, this was a pretty mid presentation. Lots of games but not really worth the hype.
insert Obama giving Obama a medal meme Man, Sony is really showing off, though they do have some numbers to show for it.
I expect that the Switch's momentum will slow down a little after ToTK. There's really no big Nintendo game around the corner after (unless by miracle, they finally announce Metroid Prime 4).
Still, I wouldn't underestimate Nintendo. You never know what they have under their sleeves.
As expected from ToTK. Amazing game, already spent so many hours yet there's still so many things to do and places to explore. What's insane is that Mario Kart 8 is still selling this much.
I was expecting a MK1 trailer in the PS showcase since Sony loves to show fighting games. Even if this won't be in the showcase, there's going to be a fighting game related trailer there. Since this is already very unlikely, my money will go to another Tekken character reveal (possibly Yoshimitsu).
lmao, they really are avoiding the FFXV situation.
Well, as long as the game will be able to tell a great story without any loose ends, then it's all good for me. Sekiro also didn't have any DLC despite fan requests but overall, it was a great game with enough lore to tell. No need to expand its story
No game is perfect and there will always be bugs and glitches but as long as they're not game-breaking nor they hinder the gameplay experience, I'm fine with it.
It's just sad that we're at a time where day 1 patches are a norm for AAA games and this is kind of a news. Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate the devs wanting the game to be playable with almost no issues upon launch.
@OrtadragoonX voice acting in X is fine. The problem is the voice direction. XII's voice acting is probably one of the best in the franchise. The only problem with it is that the sound seem compressed, likely due to the limitations of the PS2 back then
Keeping my expectations low. I'm not gonna expect any MGS remakes or anything Bloodborne related but if either one happens, then I'll be screaming of joy
Finally. I'm hoping to see something from Wolverine (I know Spider-Man 2 is what many are expecting but still). Also hoping to hear something new about Pragmata
I'm sure Phil is a great guy but he sure sounds like a poor car salesman right now. Pretty sure his narrative will change once Starfield comes out and it impresses everyone (assuming that it will actually meet expectations that is).
Never heard of Redfall until recently so all I can say is, I really don't care if this game is playable in Ps5/PS4. I've checked the gameplay and looks like another generic shooter to me
As someone who grew up with FF7, FF8 and FF9 onwards, I missed out on any of the SNES FF games, particularly FFVI. I finally gave this game a shot recently and I can finally understand why so many fans loved this game. The characters are so endearing and are quite unique with Locke and Celes being my favorites so far. I only knew what Kefka was like thanks to Dissidia and I got to say that he is exactly how I imagine him in this game, he's pure chaos and I love him for that. But really, each characters so far are so endearing and likeable.
The soundtrack is so good and again, Locke and Celes' themes are by far, my favorites alongside Terra's theme.
Sadly, I've never had the chance to finish the game (not yet at least) but with the pixel remasters, I'm willing to finish this because it's so good.
I love XII and Basch is a badass. That said, I was never under the impression that he was supposed to be the main character. The journey is mostly about Ashe and her quest for power to save Dalmasca. Basch is just there to protect her (much like what Steiner does for Garnet) so him being the supposed main character wouldn't make sense either.
It was excellent though I feel like there's so much that they've shown in this presentation, particularly the Eikon battles. I feel that those could have been more epic if we experience them 1st time. I know I should've just avoided this but was tempted to check this presentation and it's still going to be epic once I get there though. My only disappointment is that no demo was announced but that's just a personal gripe.
I feel like that presentation by Yoshi-P during PAX East already gave enough about FFXVI. I don't mind getting more from this SoP though. Only hoping a demo gets announced after this
I played the remake without noticing any difference in Ada's voice. I guess the VA just fits naturally for me. RE games aren't really known for having over the top voice acting in the 1st place anyway and harassing the VA is so stupid and unnecessary. Capcom hired them and they did their job. That's all there is to it. No reason to take this personally.
Persona 3 still to this day is my all time favorite game in the SMT franchise. For how good it is, the gameplay does feel outdated compared to P5 and was hoping one day, the game will get that P5 treatment. I guess now's that time. C'mon Atlus, announce the remake already.
XII's gambit system is so damn good when it comes to managing party members. Probably one of my favorite mechanics in pretty much any JRPG. I definitely would love to see something implemented in FFVII Rebirth.
I love that he slammed both parties on the first tweet and love the way how he shuts that one tweet asking for rollback. We really need more direct people like him.
I'm fine without XI and XIII. XI is an outdated MMO and you're better off playing XIV anyways. As for XIII trilogy, it can rot in hell for all I case. Worst FF game ever
Assuming that this is true, I understand if PS5 and maybe some PS4 will require remote play but give us the option to play older titles natively. No excuse to not allow us to play older games, especially PS1 titles without having to stay online/stream via remote play only. Give us the option to play games offline

Re: There's New Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PS5 Footage in Across the Spider-Verse
I just thought it was a fun little easter-egg for the HD Remastered Spider-Man when I saw it. Didn't thought it was a small teaser for Spider-Man 2.

Glad they are included. They were also in the HD collection for the Vita and would be disappointing if missing in this volume collection.

Re: Rumour: Persona 3 Remake Reveal May Be Coming Next Month

Re: Rumour: Unannounced Sony Hardware in the Works, Releasing Before PS5 Pro
