There is a possibility this will get a physical release via Limited Run Games because today I received their newsletter which accidentally stated in the summary I could preorder Darwin's paradox but when I opened the mail there was no mention of the game.
@CWill97 No problem, I just wanted to donate the code to a loving fan, but I get you. I'm also a PS only gamer, but a collector as well so I caved in on the PC version. Wish you all the best and I hope you're enjoying your Yakuza fix 😎
@CWill97 Dude, I tried to get a steelbook for the PS5 version of Kiwami 3 and all they got is a PC Steelbook so I'll be getting one of those. In case you need a Steam code (European), I'll send you one.
Here is a novice question since I'm a bit out of the know regarding this one: is this Kyoto sequel tied directly to Tokyo Xanadu and is Tokyo Xanadu Ex+ (I assume that's the first game) a game worth playing story/gameplay wise?
@Stepan THE CREAKING CONTROLLER! For some time I thought I was the only one having that since it never happened with my PS4 and PS5 controllers. And also what's weird is that a friend of mine gave me an original sixaxis controller and that old thing doesn't creak, but my barely used dualshock 3 creaks.
@Shepherd_Tallon Absolutely, glad we're in the same Sony OLED club! I mean, I expected the games to look better as you said, but when I booted up Tony Hawk 3+4 and kickfliped around Canada, I was blown away with how good it looks and sounds.
The PS3 was a also pleasant surprise: I knew Sony has some great image processing chips in their TVs but this I did not expect. Ridge racer always looked good, but the color contrasts and the audio are sick on the Bravia 8 II.
@Scottyy PS2 for me is a landmark and can't be beaten (maybe by the PS1 due to nostalgia) but I had to unplug it since the new TV is a bit larger than my old one, so the new OLED and the old CRT Trinitron could not fit on the TV stand. I will think of something, but I must confess that I was playing only the PS5 recently due to it having a rest mode which really comes in handy when you're a dad having an hour for playing games before bedtime.
A bit offtopic but it's always nice to give a little praise for the good old PS3: I bought a new Sony OLED due to some circumstances so I hooked up the PS3 just to see how it holds up. There was a Ridge Racer 7 disc inside which past me forgot to take out. After booting up the game I was blown away by the vivid colors, clean graphics, banging soundtrack and the classic addictive gameplay. Yes, half of this is due to Sony manufacturing great TVs, but still, that is one sick console packed with amazing games.
I would like to have a Pro, but I can't part with my PS1-themed Slim console. Silly, I know, but I'll wait for the PS6 since I'm fine with how my rig works.
@PerpetualBoredom I don't like to admit this, but I didn't play the game and I've been telling myself to do it for the past 20 years. To be fair, I purchased a physical edition of Okami HD for the PS4 and it's on the upper part of my backlog so I'll definitely get into it soon enough.
Even though I didn't play it yet, you can smell from a mile away that this is a cult classic and I'm really glad it's getting a sequel it deserves. I'm guessing you're a big fan?
@REALAIS Yeah, I agree. If the rumors turn out to be true, I'll dish out my money for the PS6 and the accompanying PS Portable. Which is why, for now at least, I'm skipping the PS Portal OLED upgrade and the PS5 Pro.
@Max_the_German I would settle for local play of PS1, PS2 and PSP games, those retro titles shine on smaller screen sizes when there is no CRT TV alternative.
@REALAIS Well, you're making sense which makes it difficult for me to respond. I personally would pay double the price of a standard PS Portal, but not triple the price. Even then I would explain to my family why we need to buy cheaper food for at least a month.
@StrickenBiged Thanks for the heads up, I'll send him my kidney for that piece of tech.
The colors on the PS Portal look great as is even without an OLED. On the other hand it would benefit greatly with at least being able to run a set of PS4 games natively (effectively being a digital only PS Vita). Now that would be a mid-gen upgrade I would be willing to pay for.
@Fluberuper Haha right? We'll let the good folks running this site review it and tell us how the story holds up. Otherwise I would have some explaining to do if I boot the game in my living room.
My uncle did some work on that game and the plot is actually that the streamer and blackmailer are the same person which describes the inner struggle of the streamer who tries to evolve her career and move away from Twitch towards Only Fans.
I've always wanted to immerse myself in a story which I handcrafted to my liking where I stroll around the town being recognized as the greatest hero wielding a legendary sword and then I kick a chicken in the air.
(No joke) 2 years ago I bought new PS2 games from the Canadian retailer VGP. Those were Digital Devil Saga, Katamari Damacy, Yakuza 1, Yakuza 2 and GTA Trilogy (3, VC and SA in individual cases packaged together in a outer box).
The GTA Trilogy is something I'll probably never unbox because I consider it a relic.
