@themightyant Yeah I can get that. It doesn't break any new ground per-say, I just really like the creator Joakim Sandberg's other works up til that point, so I have some bias there.
@EclipseZero Iconoclasts is very charming in animation and storytelling. Gameplay is solid but never overly challenging.
Strider is also super cool, though very action-focused.
@danlk1ng It does make you wonder how different the overall plot will be considering the vagueness of part 1's ending...
It doesn't help that all we have to compare is Midgar vs og Midgar π Though "FFVII Alternate Universe" would have been a banger title π
The technical issues are disappointing, but I played enough of the early access on PC to know I'll still enjoy this one. Especially with SotC as an all-time favorite of mine.
I picked this one up for $10 with Steelbook and on PS5 I've had a blast so far. Very minor visual glitches occasionally, but never anything that halted my progress or pulled me out of the experience. Can't wait for the upgrade.
Yes please. Always considered trying this via PS3. I hear two players will have very different experiences due to the variety of potential party members.
I was very impressed by and immersed in this experience. I was only upset by the overall absence of my all time favorite Radiohead track -Life in a Glass House- from Amnesiac π
Nonetheless, as a Radiohead fan this release is one of my favorite experiences of the year.
The notifications for them are intrusive (by default), and for trophy chasers, they choose how you play the game and decide when your experience with a game is complete for you. Never been a fan.
Seeing PlayStation Home running again would be a trip. I didn't actually get to do a whole lot on it back in the day, but there's still some nostalgia there.
This may be a dumb question but why hold the game awards before the year is over and discredit games that release afterwards? Shouldn't this be held in January the following year?
The rush of playing Astro's Playroom and Demon's Souls for the first time was incredible. Then like others on the board, I largely went back to my PS4 backlog. I'm hoping for some more true exclusives, otherwise it may not stay on the shelf long-term.
I'm fortunate enough to have both, but I can see the appeal for switching. My rush to PS5 was purely for Demons Souls, now it exists to play through my PS4 backlog. With the Sony exclusives pool shrinking, you aren't missing much on PC these days.
The P stands for "Plagiarism" π Jokes aside, this looks incredible from this footage, so an even more polished product will be a joy. Keeping an eye on this one.
I enjoyed being able to see my park in first person via jeep/helicopter a little too much in the first game. I even made some dunes in a few exhibits to ramp off of. I might eventually give this a go, Goldblum adds value in my book as well π
I'm imagining the infamous scene in Spider-Man 2 where Tobey risks his life to stop a train. Except Tobey is this Spidey DLC and the train is full of very angry Marvel fans π Hopefully the wait was worth it.
Not surprised with FNaF being the most viewed for sure. It's a series with the largest crowd arguably being children. And many children (including my younger sibling) spend an unhealthy amount of time on YouTube.
These 'announcements' have all been pants, just in case anyone is wondering. One to go and I would be very impressed if it's even worth batting an eye at.
This makes me wish they had just put all of their Avengers eggs in the solo campaign basket. Would have saved a lot of scrutiny. Can't wait to play this one.
@Tharsman I'll have to give that a go! I was discouraged because my PSN was evidently linked to an old Square account that doesn't have permission to play for free. Maybe PC then...

I absolutely love this trailer. Can't wait to play this.

Re: Confusion Over Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin's Extra Missions
@RenanKJ Its because of this bizarre name I just call it "Final Fantasy Nioh".
Re: Soapbox: Vermintide 2 Might Be My Game of the Year (But It Released in 2018)
Really? I mean yeah as a Left 4 Dead with swords it's pretty good. I can never binge these types without getting bored, myself π

Re: Video: Reboot, Remaster and Remake - Whatβs the Difference?
@PSXDave Pretty sure Final Fantasy VII Remake is a remake, mate π
Re: Video: Reboot, Remaster and Remake - Whatβs the Difference?
Despite how easy it is to draw these lines between each meaning, these words get (incorrectly) interchanged frequently.

Re: Battle Royale PUBG: Battlegrounds Goes Free-to-Play Next Year
@BenGar97 I can't get over this. They named their YouTube channel the same thing...did they forget their own nonsense acronym?

Re: Former Silent Hill Developers Announce Slitterhead
This looks a lot like Parasyte in a way, and I'm all for it.
Re: Godfall's PS Plus Version Is All Endgame Content, No Story Campaign
@Esmerald Oh yeah, I'm not saying it's a bad month! Just an odd decision for Godfall. Mortal Shell is legit.
Re: Godfall's PS Plus Version Is All Endgame Content, No Story
This sounds a lot like free-to-play Destiny 2 versus vanilla/launch Destiny 2 and seems like a poor decision.
Re: Rumour: PS1 JRPG Chrono Cross Really Is Getting a Remaster
Yes please. Always considered trying this via PS3. I hear two players will have very different experiences due to the variety of potential party members.

Re: PS Vita Exclusives Freedom Wars, Soul Sacrifice to Have Servers Shuttered
It's unfortunate that neither of these received console or PC ports.
Re: Rumour: PS Plus December 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Leaked Early
This is the only way I'd play Godfall, so that's pretty cool!
Re: Soapbox: I Think I'm Over Trophies
@MakersMark Yeah I silenced all trophy notifications immediately, it was especially frustrating when they'd occur during or after cutscenes lol
Re: Tekken 7's New Definitive Edition Is Hilariously Overpriced
Tekken is my absolute favorite fighting game series. And this is a hard pass.

Re: Feature: PS5 Report Card - How Is It After One Year?

Re: GTA Trilogy Adds Iconic 90s Cheat Big Head Mode
On this note, do the classic cheats still work in general for these? Like flying cars and jetpack for SA?
Re: Marvel's Avengers Trailer Shows Off Spider-Man In All His Glory
I don't wanna hate train this. Maybe the gameplay is decent. But lordy that voice and choreography...
Re: Japanese Publisher Implies PlayStation Audience Is Transitioning to PC

Re: Glorious Final Fantasy 7, 8, 9 Bestiary Galleries Remind Us of Amazing Monster Designs
Shout-out to the triceratops tank hybrid from FFVII. I don't even think Hellhouse surprised me as much as that thing.

Re: Spider-Man Finally Swings to Marvel's Avengers on 30th November
I'm imagining the infamous scene in Spider-Man 2 where Tobey risks his life to stop a train. Except Tobey is this Spidey DLC and the train is full of very angry Marvel fans π
Hopefully the wait was worth it.
Re: FromSoftware to Share 15 Minutes of Elden Ring Gameplay Tomorrow
Thanks, but until that beta test, I'm good. I already know I'm buying on release π
Re: PS Store Remasters & Retro Sale Lists PS4 Games for Cheap

@ShogunRok Sounds right up my alley then! Thanks.
Re: Mini Review: Pumpkin Jack: New-Gen Edition (PS5) - Halloween Platformer Is Four Hours of PS2 Era Fun
@ShogunRok Would you say there's any comparison gameplay-wise between this and MediEvil?
Re: Five Nights at Freddy's the Most Viewed Trailer from State of Play
Not surprised with FNaF being the most viewed for sure. It's a series with the largest crowd arguably being children. And many children (including my younger sibling) spend an unhealthy amount of time on YouTube.

Dynasty Warriors 10 will be interesting.

Re: The Uncharted Movie Trailer Is Finally Here
This looks properly entertaining! I just don't think Holland as Drake and Wahlberg as Sully fit at all π
Re: Capcom Teasing Seven Resident Evil Reveals for Halloween
A classic trilogy would be neat! I doubt they would announce something huge like a Code Veronica X remake, but one can hope...

Re: Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Hinokami Chronicles (PS5) - Anime Fighter Is Barebones but Beautiful
Man I was really hoping they would knock out story mode stuff outside of combat. Oh well. Still a potential buy one day.
Re: Final Fantasy XIV Is Now the Most Profitable Game in the Entire Series, Surpasses 24 Million Players
Crazy how well they turned around a disastrous launch. Always wanted to play, but monthly subs just aren't for me π€·
Re: Rockstar Removing PS2 Versions of GTA from PS Store
@ATaco Pretty sure the PS4 games are PS2 ports.
Re: Rockstar Removing PS2 Versions of GTA from PS Store
@Jayofmaya Wait, wasn't the PS3 version just a port of the mobile game?
