I’m down for a redemption arc! Platinumed the game last night, and I think there’s something worthy in this IP despite the jank and performance issues. Ironing all that out and completing/expanding the story would be great.
The company and executives seem like unmitigated disasters, though…
Read that playing on Switch 2 is the best experience for the first one since it ironed out the performance. I’ll check this out if I enjoy the first since negative reviews don’t deter me at all!
IMO, the theme(s) aren’t quite as important as the execution. Obviously, themes and plot devices will be reused, but that pales in comparison to the experience as a whole. Pretty shortsighted and clickbaity to say that these different experiences are all the same, but that’s IGN for you!
@B_Lindz Two to three hundred?! I’m seeing 141 total and that includes things like Minecraft, several HD remaster collections, rereleases like the Infamous collection, 14 SingStar games, 3 Buzz TV quiz games, 4 Dance Star titles, Everybody Dance, EyePet, numerous MLB games, and an Indian regional exclusive superhero game…
@wildcat_kickz From what I’ve gathered over the years, a game has to be developed and published by Sony, and they also have to own the IP. Insomniac and Housemarque already had games in the pipeline when they were acquired, so those don’t count, and Sony don’t own the IP to Wolverine.
And apparently, if a game is announced or showcased, it’s no longer new.
@Deljo You’re not wrong about any of that, but I guess I’ve learned to ignore it. PS2 is still my favorite game library of all time, and if I could only play a single console for the rest of my life, PS2 it is! But now it just feels like there’s so much more variety, even if it is less creative as a whole.
@Th3solution Six years ago, I was just going to stick with PS1/2/3 JRPGs and fighting games, but there’s too much fun stuff out there to resist. I’ve come to enjoy and appreciate nearly every genre (except for MMOs and MOBAs).
I was dubious about Wolverine... until this trailer. Now I'm all in. Also excited for Saros, Deus Ex Remastered, Nioh 3, Seven Deadly Sins: Origin, Crimson Desert, and Code Vein 2!
Don’t mind re-buying all these because I got them for dirt cheap originally. I love the series and they’re all easily 50-100 hours each, so it’s definitely worth it IMO.
Wouldn’t mind playing Kiwami again. I loved Zero so much and went straight into Kiwami which I think led to burnout. Kiwami 2 being enhanced is sorely needed, as well!
@sanderson72 PS5 Pro wasn’t as much about raw power as it was more subtle hardware and software architecture advancements. More and faster RAM (with dedicated RAM for the operating system), more storage, a textured APU chip to further combat liquid metal dry spots and leaks, Pro Boost for games lacking specific Pro Enhancements, 4K upscaling/sharpness filtering for PS4 games, and PSSR.
I paid $185 for my Pro after trades and incentives and it has been more than worth it. Any game that uses dynamic resolution scaling or unlocked framerates will see native improvements. Check out ResetEra’s gigantic list of games that perform best on Pro!
But I guess an article highlighting all the games that do benefit from the Pro wouldn’t get as much engagement as one complaining about it.

Re: Remedy Upgrades Control with PS5 Pro Support, New Patch Out Now
Might be time for play-through #3. This game is my favorite blind-buy of all time and helped me fall in love with Remedy as a whole.
Edit: The PS5 version also showed me just how nice 60fps is in shooters

Re: Sony Is a 'Terrible Company' That's 'Blowing It in the Games Business', Says Michael Pachter
@ilyn Yes! Also just remembered that having a PS4 version means a game can’t count for PS5.

@LogicStrikesAgain I feel like I don’t fit in here because I like Sony and enjoying playing games instead of whining about them. 🤣
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate State of Play for September 2025?
I don't there's been a single SOP/Showcase where there's less than 4 or so games I'm into, and this show was no exception.

Re: No Upgrade Path for the Belated PS5 Version of Yakuza 0 Director's Cut
