Thank God they are taking time to give this timeless classic the remake it deserves. It was looking hideous, which is not acceptable for one of the most beautifully designed games for its time.

Up. Down. Left. Right. Chu. Chu. Chu.

Skies of Arcadia. Not only is it the best JRPG ever made in my opinion, it is the very best game to ever come from SEGA

The thought of Microsoft buying Squeenix scares me, as every studio they buy ends up turning to ***** every e.g. Rare, Lionhead, Bizarre Creations, or ends up just releasing the same generic shooters like Gears over and over.

It absolutely gets better after the blimp level, which was awful. However, the Mudokon AI is what makes this game worse. The should have kept it simple and made it a similar remake in the same vein as New'n'Tasty was for the original, with the funny Gamespeak and amazing puzzles.

In all fairness, it wouldn't be so hard to outsell any of them in the UK.

@ApostateMage Best Post ever lol

It has to be different. Just like translating a book to film, some parts of a game are not going to translate to a Film/TV show

I played it to the end the first time, but then couldn't get through the 2nd time when it became even harder with less retries.

I thought it was an early April Fools joke. What is going on with all the publishers and their awful showcases. First it was the rubbish Nintendo Direct, then the Sony livestream, and now this pish.

I mean where is the return to her roots game for the 25th anniversary, or even a Tomb Raider 2 remake. I was really thoroughly disappointed.

Demon's Souls requires online play to get a Platinum also...

Tomb Raider please.

I like games to be released in a finished state personally

Apart from Oddworld Soulstorm being free (and it is going to be amazing), and Kena, nothing else was really that great.

Well there goes my hopes of Tokyo Jungle 2!

@Jayofmaya It was a character from a comedy sketch show my parents watched when I was a kid

After the utterly abysmal Nintendo Direct, I want Sony to show Nintendo how to appeal to long term fans.

As long as the keep giving core gamers fully fledged gaming experiences like God of War, Demon's Souls, TLoU2, Sackboy, Bloodborne etc that are full games on release, they can throw whatever microtransactions they want elsewhere. I love the fact Sony 1st party games are not normally plagued by them, and often come with excellent dlc. Here is hoping it stays that way.

The best just got even better.

A patch for The Last of Us 2 next would be awesome as I keep holding out to play it.

I hope Tomb Raiding, loneliness and puzzle solving are the main concept for the games again. It would be great to have a natural evolution for the old Tomb Raider style, say that Zelda has had over the years, rather than the big budget brainlessness of the main section of the reboot games.

Kena looks great. I hope it has some nice puzzles

Looking forward to a mostly generic new gen as well then I imagine.

So much quality PS5 games, like Demon's Souks and Spiderman, and apart from Nintendo games, the UK charts are made up of generic 3rd party games like Just Dance, Fifa and Assassin's Creed.

@Mysterio There is plenty of beautiful scenery. In fact it is one of the most beautiful games I have ever played. Sadly the Challenge Tombs are rubbish compared to the previous game, as the puzzles are .inimal and it is mostly basic platforming in them.

No Ni No Kuni 2?

This has just went to the top of my most anticipated list.

I absolutely agree. I have multi-player games i play, but nothing beats the experience of a well designed single player experience with great gameplay, puzzles, level design, graphics and sound.

The PS5 is just out so we can't expect the best PS5 games yet. Its library needs to build up. We also just got the PS Plus collection which are some of the very best games ever made.

My Sony logo is perfect centre. I will swap him lol

@youngbossrd Hearing things 8n your left or right ear is just stereo sound. 3d Audio is supposed to be like surround sound, so you hear it in the exact location it is supposed to be coming from, like behind

Sony more so than any game company gives nice things to its fans.

I can't believe they are just up-ressing the Swiych graphics instead of giving us the same absolutely gorgeous graphics of the vanilla PS4 version. There is no denying it is an amazing game, but I will be skipping this version.

Hollow Knight is a 10/10. It is easily the best non-Metroid Metroid game I have ever played.

What I really need to know, as Sony customer service does not even know, is more about the 4K. Blu-ray player. I know games are not Dolby Atmos/Vision compatible, but will the 4K Blu ray player have Dolby Atmos and Vision, and also HDR10+ compatability?

Also, as the games won't be DolbybAtmos compatible, will there be any surround sound in games for my current 7 1.2 set up, or is it only those with the headphones that are getting any surround sound?

@dancingstar93 I hear you, but Tina is referred to as Terra here, And Cecil Harvey still sounds more fantasy like that Clive lol.

@ApostateMage lololol

@jmac1686 Jesus. You are telling me to get a life, when you are getting offended by my comment about a video game character name?!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. There is more to life than video games. What a shame for you 🤣🤣🤣. If you are an adult and not a child god help you in life.

Clive Rosfield? There is nothing epic about that. It does not have the same Fantasy feel as Cloud Strife, Squall Lionhart, Zidane Tribal, Titus, Vaan Smith?, Lightning or Noctis lol.

He just sounds like someone you could bump into in a local pub. 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

Hollow Knight us the best non-Metroid Metroid ever made. Play it if you have not.

I would be expecting it to be in resolution mode at 60fps on PS5. Surely the PS5 is powerful enough for this.

@3Above Where DOD you read the complaints about nothing new for the genre, as most reviews stated it reinvigorated the genre by not holding your hand and allowing you to think for yourself.

I would love to read the review that stated that.

@3Above Assasins Creed as a yearly gaming franchise. Golden Standard games are usually those that are every several years. Ones that push the boundaries and do something new. Games like God of War, BotW, Grand Theft Auto, Super Mario Galaxy come out once in a blue moon and sell millions, even way into a consoles lifespan after they are released, because they are incredible and take years of planning, research and production. Assassins Creed games are just churned out, like CoD games to appeal to the masses. Many get enjoyment out of these games but they are hardly gold standard.

@3Above I am not arguing that. And who said I didnt like those games so your point is completely irrelevant. This conversation started when you made the sweeping statement that Japanese games are no longer relevant. But you are completely wrong and I have proved you wrong. You also said that Nintendo games are not good, or insinuated that, and I just pointed out that millions of people would disagree, critics and gamers alike. The opinions of hundreds of critics, and millions of fans means more to me than yours. I personally love games of all kinds. Westetn and Japanese. There are good and bad on each. I prefer games that are more gamey and less movie like, and you are the opposite.

I absolutely love Playsyation, I love Nintendo too, I also loved the Original X-Box. But dont claim Japanese games are not relevant just because you are not a fan, and say they are not selling anymore when facts and figures would state otherwise.

@3Above I played Horizon Zero Dawn and loved it, but it is nowhere near as varied and challenging as BotW. I am sure if it came out any other year, it would have win some game of the year awards. It is just a shame it came out the year as the same game many believe to be the best game if the past 20 years. If it were not for the combat, it would just be another generic open world game. Breath of the Wild had no pointers, you literally just got yourself lost in the game world and solved hundreds of puzzles. It was exceptionally varied, enormous and amazing they created such an open World that left you just to figure out everything on your own. Horizon was a movie like experience with cool combat and great graphics, but BotW was a thinking man's game. Do you own a Switch? I get the feeling that you don't. I love my movie like experiences, but I love my games more.

@GADG3Tx87 And lack of exclusives is on of the reasons Microsoft has failed this generation.

@GADG3Tx87 And people bashing games because they are not on their favourite console or continent. I just love games, and raging fanboyism is just petty and they give us gamers such a bad name. They almost make me ashamed to be a gamer at times. A good game is a good game. Simple as that.

@3Above Bayonetta 2 might not have been impactful to you, but that does not mean to say it was not a phenomenal gaming achievement. Many incredible works of gaming art have not sold well; for example, The Last Guardian, Shadow of the Colossus and Okami.

@3Above LOLOL.

Have you actually played BotW. It deserves every Game of the Year award and perfect score it got in my (and millions of others opinions). The open world was revolutionary. Their big games (Zelda, Mario, Metroid) are actually games, and are not trying to be movies, and often tell a story through visuals. They are video game art in its purest form full of intelligent level designs, challenge and often clever puzzles. A lot of big Western games are repeat quest A,B and C over and over and over, or shoot, shoot, shoot smash its face in. However you do get some incredible creativity such as God of War and Dreams. Games like The Last of Us are amazing, and I love them being a huge Sony fan, but they are closing the gap between movies and games. There are more ideas and clever level designs in one level of Super Mario Galaxy 2 thsn the whole Last of us experience (amazing as it was). Nintendo games are that and that only: Games.

Nintendo games are adored by millions, and for very good reason. For example, Pokemon, like it or not, has an exceptionally complex battle system and trying to play it online is a science, one that people still find new tactics for to this day. Their games are the most emulated, and their designs are ripped off more than anyone else's. Every game is influenced by Nintendo sone how, and many of their retro games have stood the test of time, and are just as playable now as they were on release.

Their games may often be cartoony, they are like the Pixar of video games and are universally loved by millions of children and adults.

@3Above Japanese games have been the best this generation, and gaming is all the better for it. I love my Playstation but look at the strength of Nintendo's brands. No gaming company achieve sales like Nintendo do for single console games. The attach rate of games Like Mario Kart, Pokemon, and Mario is just incredible. I am sure if these games were on all consoles they would be even bigger sellers.

@3Above Bayonetta 2 received many perfect scores and is considered best in its class. Zelda BotW has more perfect review scores than any game in history. Dark souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro, DMC 5. In fact, when did a good action game like this not come out of Japan? I am glad Microsoft lost this console generation, as gaming was becoming stale during the 360 generation with all the generic gung ho Americanised shooters. We have seen so much creativity and have had a new golden age of gaming this generation. And Japanese games have become more relevant.

Japanese games are still highly relevant. However, Japanese people work long hours and live very fast lives, so portable gaming works better for them.
