I think that Sony should release an official portable PS4. I still think they'd make money off it, despite there being fewer and fewer PS4 games releasing.
I did the tutorial and played a full round with randoms, it's pretty decent I thought. Nothing amazing, but I don't think it's worth all the hate it's getting.
I am playing a few games from SEGA's latest console, the Dreamcast. I'll be dipping in and out of Space Channel 5, Headhunter, Phantasy Star Online Ver. 2 and Jet Set Radio.
@KundaliniRising333 You do know this is remake right? It's running on a different engine than the original game and Okinawa doesn't show up in any of the recent games, so RGG Studio would of had to make that area from scratch. This is nothing like the situation with the GTA remasters.
Tried it and uninstalled it 30 minutes later. It looks nice, but I'm not a fan of the setting. It just seems boring after playing Zenless Zone Zero and Wuthering Waves. I also wasn't too keen on the combat, mostly because I found it hard to see incoming attacks, which made dodging them a pain.
I have Ghost of Yotei and Trails Beyond the Horizon on the go, so I will be rotating between them. Probably not the best decision to play two big games at the same time, but here we are!
This is weird to me. Having two versions of the same game up at once would surely mean more money for RGG Studio. Persona is another SEGA property and the original Persona 5 hasn't been delisted, despite the release of Royal.
I find it kind of amusing that this game has been in development longer than the amount of time between the release of the original Resident Evil and its GameCube remake.
@Rich33 A shadow drop doesn't always mean a bad game. Hi-Fi Rush and Metroid Prime Remastered were both shadow dropped. As for Oblivion, sure it had its technical issues, but it was far from unplayable. I bought it the minute it became available and I enjoyed it for the most part.
@themightyant Most people browse the store though? They don't just stick to the front page. If someone wants to browse the new games they have to scroll through a lot of junk to find a legit game.
@themightyant Go on the "Wishlist" section under "Collections" and most of it is shovelware. Also, when I go on "New games for you" the majority of games are shovelware.
@themightyant Have you been to the PlayStation Store recently? It's pretty much in your face, to the point where there's nearly as much shovelware as there are legit games!
@Hootnoodle I played through that for the first time a couple of months ago and really enjoyed it. One of those games that made me wonder why I didn't play it sooner. I don't get all the average reviews at all.
I'm playing through a game called Blood of Mehran. It's sort of like Assassin's Creed meets God of War, except with a fraction of the budget. It's definitely got it's problems, but I'm enjoying the gameplay enough that it doesn't feel like a chore to play.
Hopefully going to also be cracking on with Borderlands 4 and Coral Island, both in co-op.
Currently playing through it as I type this. I haven't played any of the previous versions of VII, so this will be a day one buy for me if I've finished Trails Beyond the Horizon before then.
PS5 has a massive library, so Sony are never going to pick 3 games that everyone is happy with. They could add God of War Ragnarok or Spider-Man 2 and you'd still get people complaining. I'm looking forward to trying all 3 games.
@Zeroo I just find it to be a very pleasant looking game. Bright, colourful, picturesque towns, green fields, blue skies, detailed characters. I've always liked how Falcom games look and this takes it to the next level.

Dreamcast for me. Going to carry on playing Phantasy Star Online Ver. 2.

I downloaded it and tried it for a couple of minutes yesterday, but I'll have to give it a proper go once I've finished work.

I'm glad to hear this. It's my favourite card game after Triple Triad.

Re: Anime-Infused Arcade Racer Screamer Just Looks Better and Better Ahead of PS5 Release
I have no knowledge of Screamer, but I'm looking forward to this purely based on how good the Hot Wheels Unleashed games are.

No waiting for reviews for me! Day one buy. Looks awesome.

Is there any single player content or is it all online?
Re: Two Classic PS1 Beat-'Em-Ups Will Throw a Punch at PS5, PS4 This Week
I was hoping this would be a proper remaster with online co-op, but it looks like it's just the an emulation of the PS1 games.

Re: 'We Will Give Our Utmost': The Seven Deadly Sins Dev Delays PS5 Release to Make Improvements
Coming straight off of Wuthering Waves, I found the beta quite disappointing, but I might give it another try once the full game releases.

Re: You'll Be Able to Try Yakuza Kiwami 3 Before You Buy It on PS5, PS4
As a Yakuza fan, I'd like a demo of the beginning of the game, but it's probably not the best way to sell people new to the series on the game.
Re: Amazon's PS5 MMORPG New World: Aeternum Delisted, Will Be Shut Down in 2027
I played it through PlayStation Plus Extra with my brother and we both had a good time with it.
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Remake on PS5 Gets Bonus Switch 2, Xbox Features Next Week
I'll replay it on PS6 when Square-Enix release it and it's two sequels as one big game.

@themightyant It's on the "Latest" tab, just above "Pre-Orders".

@themightyant The homepage is mostly curated. Go on "New Games" and it's a different story...

Oh good, although I do wonder how Sony will decide where the line between shovelware and a poorly made game is.
Re: Code Violet (PS5) - Gooner Shooter Can't Get It Up
Not gonna lie, I actually like what I've played of it so far.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 615
@Perturbator You should look into modding it. It'll save you a fortune on games.

Re: Mini Review: Yakuza 0 Director's Cut (PS5) - A Questionable Cash Grab of a Classic
I enjoyed playing through this again on Switch 2. My biggest issue with this release is the delisting of the original version.

Just started it now. I always like playing a new Trails demo, you never know how long it's going to be!
