Don't care about the Pro but if this means that insider's (forgot his name) statement about Sony holding some event with new 1st party games later this month is true then great.
I can't help but find it funny that long before Jack Black was confirmed for the movie, he already made a Minecraft reference through Tenacious D's music video "Video Games" from last year (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNJtPFXUnm4), and even that "Minecraft model" of him in said music video (0:53) looks like it would have fit more in the movie then Black just appearing as himself. XD
Thanks for the review, I will get this asap because, while I watched the GK2/ Prosecutor's Gambit story before on Youtube, I have been waiting too long to actually play the game for myself.
I know MMOs can 'live on' for years and years (depending on the game), so Wizard101 still being active is maybe not that surprising. But why release it on consoles now after all this time?
With all due respect to Mikami I really don't get how he is thinking here. Outside of both Capcom IPs having the premise of hunting down reptiles what other key similarities are there even between the two?
I welcome a sequel, Lies of P is one of the better Soulslikes to come out in recent years. I just hope the devs tries as best as they can to avoid most of the open-world issues that are so common today.
@Jacko11 : You say that Sony is supporting Concord, a live-service game, in order to ”fund their future single-player games”, yet you don’t provide any valid explanation, let alone why people appearently don’t understand this.
If you want your statement to make more sense then zero here then back it up with proof.
I respect the PS Portable (never owned one myself) and I loved my PS Vita but lets face it, the idea of home console companies making a new dedicated handheld with its own games nowadays is practically dead and buried.
I have minor interest in the PS Portal but I rather prefer Sony makes a follow-up to it then make a Vita successor that they just support with minimal interest and then throw it in the bin in the long run. Its bad enough the Sony of today is barely (to say the least) supporting their own first-party IPs for the actual PlayStation home console brand.
Regarding Crash 5's selling point (as I wrote in the NLife article covering this); as great as another Crash & Spyro crossover would have been, it should have been just a separate individual spin-off and not the focus of a mainline CB game. Crash and Spyro need to be able to stand on their own.
The Academy of Evil's return and the "going into the baddies' mind" plot would have been sufficient enough imo.
Still sad news for the Crash & Spyro fanbases either way.
My experience with the first one is pretty much the same as deadfred77. The change to third-person in this sequel caught my interest so keeping an eye on this.
I'm keeping an eye out for Mega Man, Pac-Man, Sifu, and of course PlayStation (hopefully they got atleast Ratchet & Clank in there as far as PlayStation IPs I'm personally interested in goes).
@beltmenot : Here is the Mai Shiranui trailer (in both English and Japanese). Weird that @ShogunRok didn't include it in the article yet had Mai in the thumbnail.
Have to wait on buying Black Myth though as my wallet will be going to many other games down this later half of the year.
@ChrisDeku: As pointed out by a few members in here, China’s market is huge and the game was developed primarily for the Chinese audince in mind, not to mention its an adaptation of one of the most famous Chinese epic stories ever. Those definitely counts to all the key factors on why these numbers are as big as they are.
@LifeGirl @AverageGamer: Don't forget Twisted Metal. While I can't say its one of the top best adaptations (just my opinion), the show was far from a failure, atleast if you are fine with near mindless fun. Hopefully season 2 will be just as good if not better.
And to answer the latter's question: I haven't seen it but the Warcraft movie was very disliked from what I heard.
I’m a bit wary of Krafton but other then that this is a nice surprise. Would be funny to see a Hi-Fi Rush sequel release on all consoles save for Xbox lol.
Thanks for the review. Sounds like a 'good' FMV that is on the very cringey side (well granted all FMVs are cringey) but will still give me a nice laugh in the afternoon.😄
When my excitement side gets tingled by Fortnite it is because of these amusing, epic trailers and....hmm, nope, thats where it stops, just the trailers.

Re: Ubisoft Investor Calls for Company to Go Private, and CEO Yves Guillemot to Be Replaced
Personally Ubisoft already became history to me a long time ago. They released extremely few games in recent years that I enjoyed.

Re: PlayStation Studios Celebrate Astro Bot's PS5 Arrival with Awesome Artwork

Re: Sony Execs Seem to Think the Company Doesn't Have Enough Original IP
You do have more then enough IPs within your games catagory Sony, you just pretend they are not there.😒
Re: Astro Bot (PS5) - One of the Greatest PlayStation Platformers of All Time
Thanks for the review, I really needed something positive after the bad day I had today.
Re: Astro Bot PS5 Is the Best Game of the Year So Far
If only Sony could see how much respect Team ASOBI deserves.
Re: PlayStation to Mark 30th Anniversary with New Gran Turismo Demo, Merch, Soundtracks
It would be really cool if Sony announced atleast one new title in one of their dormant first-party IPs.
Now I just wanna laugh🤣 and then cry.😭
Re: Minecraft's Weird Live Action Movie Is Going to Be Massive, Isn't It?
I can't help but find it funny that long before Jack Black was confirmed for the movie, he already made a Minecraft reference through Tenacious D's music video "Video Games" from last year (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNJtPFXUnm4), and even that "Minecraft model" of him in said music video (0:53) looks like it would have fit more in the movie then Black just appearing as himself. XD
Re: Minecraft's Weird Live Action Movie Is Going to Be Massive, Isn't It?
Yeah...no.😑
At the very least this looks like it could preform relatively better compared to the Borderlands movie, not that that is saying much.😩
I'm admittedly a little bit curious though on who will play Alex (assuming she appears).
Re: Romancing SaGa 2 Remake's Overview Video Is How All RPG Revivals Should Be Marketed
That video did its job more then well because now I actually have some interest in the game.👍
Re: Ace Attorney Investigations Collection (PS4) - Solid Spin-off Series Is Probably Just for Existing Fans
Thanks for the review, I will get this asap because, while I watched the GK2/ Prosecutor's Gambit story before on Youtube, I have been waiting too long to actually play the game for myself.
Re: Legendary Devil May Cry, Dragon's Dogma Director Hideaki Itsuno Leaves Capcom After 30 Years
I did not see this coming, hope all goes well for him from here on and forward.
Re: Vibrant Magical School MMO Wizard101 Will Enchant PS4
I know MMOs can 'live on' for years and years (depending on the game), so Wizard101 still being active is maybe not that surprising. But why release it on consoles now after all this time?
Re: Let the Astro Bot PS5 Launch Trailer Tide You Over Until Release
One of my top priorities for planned video game buys. Lookin great.
Re: Visions of Mana Dev Basically Shut Down Just as the RPG Releases
God lord what a world (of layoffs) we live in.😞

Re: Not Much Space for Dino Crisis After Monster Hunter Success, Creator Says

Re: Mark Cerny's Feedback on PS5's Astro Bot: 'Now This Is a Game'
I will preorder this one for sure.👍
Re: Online RPG Blue Protocol Shutting Down, Western Release Cancelled
No surprise there at all. From what I heard the Japanese playerbase was VERY negative towards this game.
Re: Date More Beautiful Women Out of Your League in Ridiculous PS5 Romance Sim Superscout
Time for some more research.
Re: Workers at Greedfall, Steelrising Dev Spiders Are Striking, Calling Out Nacon in Public Letter
I forgot Steelrising existed and confused the thumbnail with Lies of P for a few seconds.
On-topic, I hope things goes well for the workers.
Re: Lies of P Sequel Jumping Straight to Elden Ring, Neowiz Seeks Open World Experience
I welcome a sequel, Lies of P is one of the better Soulslikes to come out in recent years.
I just hope the devs tries as best as they can to avoid most of the open-world issues that are so common today.
Re: Stunning Crossover Compilation Marvel vs Capcom Makes Its PS4 Digital Debut Next Month
Finally the release date is officially confirmed.
Re: Capcom Fighting Collection 2 Is the PS4 Compilation of Your Dreams
The lack of original Rival Schools game is a bummer but aside from that this is a great collection. (Power Stone!!!)
Re: Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Movie's Debut Trailer Shows Off Shadow, Voiced by Keanu Reeves
I like how Carrey finally got his fat suit.😄(Atleast for the meeting with Team Sonic. He then looks 'normal' again?)

Re: Rumour: Sony Paying Close Attention to Handheld Market After PS Portal's Shock Success
I respect the PS Portable (never owned one myself) and I loved my PS Vita but lets face it, the idea of home console companies making a new dedicated handheld with its own games nowadays is practically dead and buried.
I have minor interest in the PS Portal but I rather prefer Sony makes a follow-up to it then make a Vita successor that they just support with minimal interest and then throw it in the bin in the long run.

Re: Lara Croft Continues Her Tour of Other Titles in Naraka: Bladepoint on PS5
I don’t suppose Matari can carry dual-firearms of any kind, if there are any? (I don’t play Naraka so zero knowledge here.)
Re: Lara Croft's Working on Her Sh*t in Netflix Animated Show
Animation style looks nice, thats about the only positive thing I can say right now. I guess I can binge watch this on a day off.
Re: Surreal Turn-Based JRPG Bloomtown: A Different Story Begins in September
Hmmm...not bad, color me intrigued.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Black Myth: Wukong?
The second option for me. Like I mentioned before, my cash is going too much towards other stuff at the moment.

Didn't quite expect that kind of outfit for Garou-era Mai but fortunately she still looks good overall.
Re: Terry Bogard Looks Both Rad and Mad in Street Fighter 6 PS5, PS4 Gameplay Reveal
Man, Terry's face.😬
Gameplay looks good though, can't wait to see Mai.
Re: Black Myth: Wukong Is Blowing Up Big Time on PS5, PC
Another epic win for single-player gamers.👌
Have to wait on buying Black Myth though as my wallet will be going to many other games down this later half of the year.

Re: Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus (PS2) - Charming PS2 Platformer Can Still Steal Our Hearts
Still one of my favorite PS2 games of all time. Always happy to see Sly.
Re: Never Has a Game Looked So Good Yet So Jank as PS5's Neo Berlin 2087
Game looks fine overall and the jank is not a dealbreaker imo since this is made by a indie team after all.
Whether the actual gameplay and the narrative will be good or not remain to be seen, frankly I’m not impressed in those departments.
Re: Square Enix Has Got Fans Talking About a Final Fantasy 13 Remake, Not a Remaster
Please no, just remaster the FF13 games and call it a day.

Re: Hi-Fi Rush Developer Tango Gameworks to Be 'Revived', Acquired By PUBG Publisher
