I'm not too worried about the specifics. If I can get something that lets me play the game, looks nice on my shelf, and can be sold or traded, that's a good deal.
@DarthAmmii Lots of people made their minds up as soon as this was announced. Now they're celebrating being "right." 😆
Not saying that this is some diamond in the rough, but it will be a nice bargain bin purchase like when I got Forspoken brand new for $13. That's another game where I'm glad I ignored the online hate-jerk!
I think something like 7 out of my 115 Xbox games are Play Anywhere, so this handheld makes zero sense for me. And I'd hate to see how low someone would have to crank settings down to get stable performance from current PS5 ports...
The Xillia games would be interesting because both are double-buffered (30fps overworld, 60fps combat) and have a darkening filter on the graphics. PS4/5 has kind of a spotty history with old double-buffered games. If they keep all that the same, not much reason to upgrade IMO.
Best case scenario would be a Destiny/Destiny 2 (Tales of Eternia for our friends overseas) double pack. Would save people $300-400!
@Oram77 People make no sense. I try to focus on what's actually announced at these shows, but I can't imagine sitting through 2 hours of SGF for what was shown.
Excited for the new RE, Code Vein II, Atomic Heart II, Stranger Than Heaven, ILL, new Onimusha, and End of Abyss. Blighted and Snap & Grab are in the maybe pile.
I still don't understand the utter obsession with first-party games. I chose PlayStation because the vast majority of what I want to play is there; Sony exclusives are nice bonuses.
Just reading through the rest of the announcements and am blown away. Tons of good stuff on the horizon and plenty that's right up my ally. Great time to be a gamer!
Looking forward to MindsEye, Death Stranding 2, Star Overdrive, Wuchang, The Alters, Mado Monogatari, Mafia: The Old Country, and Death end re;Quest Code Z, and Antro.

"Why didn't we get a review code?!"

@darylb24 Why? Sony is not in Xbox's situation at all.
Re: Digimon Story Time Stranger Disappointment as 30FPS Cap Is Confirmed on Consoles
Don't mind! Sixty is nice but is in no way a requirement for me.
Re: Sounds Like Switch 2 May Have Obliterated PS5's Launch Record in France

@Ilyn Came to post the same thing!
Re: MUDANG: Two Hearts Brings Call of Duty, Splinter Cell, and Blackpink Energy to PS5
Wasn't this the name of some feisty hippo?
EDIT: Apparently that was Moo Deng and this is completely different.

Re: Directive 8020 Will Let You Fix Your Bad Decisions with Turning Points on PS5
Great, because I tend to make a lot of bad decisions in games
Re: Reminder: Look Out for PS5 Logos in Today's Xbox Showcase
It'll be interesting to see this show get praised for third-party games while Sony's get torn apart for the exact same thing. 🍿

Where were all the Summer Game Fest exclusive games?! I didn't spend $500+ on the SummerGameStation just to play.... ugh.... multi-platform games!!!
Re: PS5's Brilliant New State of Play Breaks Records for Sony
@SMJ Maybe those are different people?

Romeo is a Dead Man, Pragmata, and the new Bloodstained!!
Re: No, Nioh 3 Isn't Open World, Despite Team Ninja's Rise of the Ronin Experiment
@LogicStrikesAgain I feel like Sony owns the Nioh IP, but am not sure.
Re: Reaction: Sony Finally Understands the Assignment with One of the Best State of Plays of the PS5 Era
@HonestHick Maybe buying a console only for games developed and published by one company wasn't a good idea.
Re: Reaction: Sony Finally Understands the Assignment with One of the Best State of Plays of the PS5 Era
Probably one of my favorite SOPs ever. Hyped about nearly every announcement.
Also want to point out that Cairn, Sword of the Sea, and the new Marvel fighting game are console exclusive.

A new Bloodstained on top of everything else?! I can't handle this
Re: Ghost of Yotei PS5 Gameplay Showcase Confirmed for July
@Scottyy But then people here would be all "Why didn't they announce this at the State of Play? Can't Sony do anything right?!"
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced During Sony's State of Play Livestream for June 2025?
So... much... gaming goodness... can't keep up!

Re: Sword of the Sea Looks Like a True Journey Successor, Surfs to PS5 in August
Were the people behind Journey also involved in Abzu? Love both of those games and am definitely down for more beautiful artsy stuff.
Re: No More Heroes Maker Reveals the Uber-Stylish Romeo Is a Dead Man for PS5
When the world needed him most, Suda51 returns. Even though he never technically left... But anyway, I will never get enough of Suda/Grasshopper jank.
Re: Nioh 3 Announced for PS5, Demo Out Now for Two Weeks
I think Sony owns the Nioh IP, but am not 100%.

I watched Poofessure play this forever ago and it was hilarious
Re: Reaction: There's Never Been a Better Time to Buy a PS5
@LogicStrikesAgain I agree, I'm loving this generation and PS5 in general. Guess that makes me in the minority here which is very sad.
