Perhaps this just means they'll be focusing much more on software.

HELL
YES

And $15?! Worthy of a day-one buy, IMO.

As long as it played the Pac-Man death sound when the character was defeated and there was also a power pill/power-up based special attack!

@Porco I'm loving this generation, but I don't limit myself to just a single company's games.

I always like to at least try critically panned games for myself. Best Buy had Starfield and Redfall on clearance for $25 and $10, respectively, so I jumped and got both. Redfall is, unfortunately, as bad as everyone was saying (if not worse in some areas...), but I'll be trying Starfield next to see if I'll like it. Then I'll trade the Xbox version for the PS5 release!

Suikoden 3 and 4 are already on the PS3 store for far cheaper than any remaster would cost. Same reason why I'm not getting the SMT Devil Summoner games because the originals are $10 each.

@Dodoo Found the article. Hermen Hulst himself mentioned something during a conference call:

"While Sony rarely comments on rumours or speculation, PS Studios boss Hermen Hulst did say in a recent video for investors that his company needs to be “very thoughtful” about where it ports its first-party games so it doesn’t water down the appeal of its own hardware."

@Dodoo I thought they did clarify it somewhat recently. There was an interview clip posted on this site where someone said they'll be working on more multi-platform projects and bringing live-service titles to other consoles while keeping their core single player games exclusive.

Crazy how much a simple emoji post blew up! And I thought Xbots didn't want our "cinematic shooters" and "sad dad sims!"

Can't wait for Over Day Out-Death!

Should be fun beating up Ronaldo with Ken!

Can't wait to finally try this generation-defining experience!

@Anya-chan I think that's on the way

As a JRPG fan, this Direct was pretty good!

Day one purchase! Great time to get back into fighting games.

Overreacting on the Internet?!

Looking forward to not have to use an Xbox controller for these!

And PC gaming is awful, I'd rather play nothing than have to bother with that @##$ again

@MidnightDragonDX I have a feeling about this game, same one I had about Forspoken, Duke Nukem Forever, and various other critically panned titles. I don't trust reviewers at all!

Down to $35 at GameStop. I'm not going to jump until it's closer to $20, though.

Come on, Quantum Break with Pro Enhancements!

Let's not forget that their publisher was suddenly shut down and the game's full release was on shaky ground for a while. Prioritizing the market leader makes perfect sense.

Huh, I've been constantly told there are zero!

@AdamNovice Noticed that, too! Looked through the "Explore PlayStation Studios" section on the PS Store and saw a ton of small, artsy games from the PS4 era that no one liked.

So I've got the original Persona 4 on PS2, Golden on Vita and PS4, and now a re-remake is coming out?

"Ugh, more remasters for the RemasterStation 5!"

~ PushSquare comment section if this collection was announced

@Northern_munkey I'm talking specifically about how they're spinning the multiplatform push and push for branded hardware. The gloom and doom PlayStation "fans" who apparently refuse to play anything that isn't developed by Sony and act like the company is failing drive me up a wall, too!

@Northern_munkey How so?

Would all five games even fit on a disc?

Company C working with Companies A and B who have significantly larger customer bases makes sense. The inverse, not so much. It's crazy how many Xbox fans refuse to admit the company's position and try to spin all of this as innovation.

Can't have any edgy humor in a skateboarding game, apparently

Pro bundles are down to $2,800 USD on eBay, for anyone interested!

Great, the physical PS1 copy is $70-100.

I'll check it out. $15 cheaper than on Switch and hopefully performs better

Seems like there are a lot of missing level assets, NPCs, altered goals, etc.

Loving Xbox games coming over with Pro Enhancements

@AhmadSumadi Absolutely. Same can be said for all gaming spaces: fan sites, reddit, Facebook/Twitter/other blog/YouTube comments, etc. A lot of times, it feels like the bad actors significantly outnumber the actual fans. Maybe that's just me being cynical!

I was interested in THPS 3+4 when it was first announced, but with the changes made to 4, I'll just hold on to my PS2 copies. Those still look fine to me, run perfectly smooth, and have the full soundtracks.

Was this part of the China Hero Project? That could explain this deal.

@UltimateOtaku91 Sony's first-party stuff never factored into my decision to choose the platform! I'm a JRPG gamer first and foremost, and it (plus Switch) are the premier platforms for that genre. I see PS Studios games as a nice bonus, but not mandatory.

The sky is falling!!

But seriously, I'm not bothered because I don't play Helldivers or any multiplayer games to begin with. Arrowhead has always talked about wanted to port it to Xbox, and they don't want their next project to be exclusive.

@rjejr Not my style. I enjoy having multiple consoles, each with different libraries and technical capabilities. Plus, streaming is a long way away from supplanting native rendering. Too much lag and artifacting, not to mention internet issues. Google Stadia learned that the hard way!

@rjejr I have a phone and (mini) PC, but I sure as hell don't want to play games on them!

Not even an article about the most recent, 8GB patch?! I'm disappointed.

@Questionable_Duck Everybody's Golf, Patapon, and Freedom Wars are all licensed to Bandai who decided to port them to Switch. Lego games sell the best on Switch, so when Sony approached Lego about the Horizon game, it's possible they wanted a Switch version.

Don't think it's a shift in strategy, per se. Will be interesting to see sales figures since it won't be on GamePass.

And the uproar is amusing because I was told by several people here that Helldivers II doesn't count as a first-party game!

@Questionable_Duck Helldivers II was a huge hit for Sony. Arrowhead was already talking about their next project not being exclusive and had leverage.

@Questionable_Duck Can't ignore the ecosystem 3x smaller? More likely this is a negotiation tactic to appease Arrowhead.

Is this the "gaming on the go" that I hear so much about?

@RobN Microsoft has been doing that ever since Windows first came out. It's their MO
