Code Veronica would be a really cool remake, and it'd be really cool to see everything in the RE Engine.

I never played the first two games but always wanted to dive in. Should really get around to that lol

@11001100110zero Yeah, I definitely thought of doing that.

@Scottyy I really enjoy it! It has a lot of versatility in what you can do with it, which is really nice.

This is why I'm interested in getting the Steam Machine when it releases cause it uses Steam OS which is a proprietary of Linux. Really good opportunity to play around with it in my eyes without having to mess around with anything on my PC.

I know my Steam Deck has it too lol

It is interesting to read the nitty gritty data when it's laid out on the table regarding topics like this.

Also the comments are always fun to read on these articles.

@GamerDad76 It may be boring to hear about, but it's the only analytical data we can use to see player counts, where it peaks and how it trends. These numbers are completely unknown on console platforms.

If you want to play Bloodborne at 60 fps with 4k textures, just buy a PC or Steam Deck bro, it's not that hard. /s

Joking aside, at least Death Stranding 2 is coming to PC (yes I know Kojima owns the IP). I was hoping Ghost of Yotei and the Demon Souls remake would've made it to PC before the plug was pulled but ah well, I still have my copy of Demon Souls on the shelf and can just buy Yotei for my PS5.

I just like playing games with native ultrawide lol.

Hopefully they secure a publisher to help with funding, I was really looking forward to this one.

I still firmly believe, barring any sort of big change regarding part issues, that the ps6 will be priced similar to the Helix. I see both consoles being much more then the PS5 Pro, with the Helix being not that much higher then the ps6.

I've been playing it the last few nights and it's a lot of fun. Glad we got a new Scott Pilgrim game.

Also the pixel art is gorgeous and the anime's art style transitioned really well.

Really weird that Bungie asks for no reviews until they add end game content.

Should MH Wilds be reviewed when it's released, or when we get all of the title updates and the expansion?

I get the why, it's just a weird decision.

I plan on getting it on Steam sometime soon, I really like the first game.

I see a lot of talk regarding the pricing of the new Xbox but I can see the PS6 being close to that price as well. The electronic shortages will definitely be a big factor in driving the price up for both consoles.

I'm 31 and being in your 30s is definitely not old lol

I think with RE Requiem's success, they probably feel pretty confident in moving it up a bit.

The crossover art is always nice to see. The artists at Housemarque and Sucker Punch are genuinely really good.

Curious to see what happens with it.

But I could actually see Microsoft pulling back on releasing Xbox games on Playstation with this console, especially since they talked about PC directly in the tweet. Like everyone has been saying, strategies can change pretty suddenly, so I wouldn't be surprised if this happens.

Guess we'll see if the game has the legs to last. I have zero interest in playing it myself.

I forgot they did that Majora's Mask tribute video.

But hey, Switch players have a fun one to play.

Can't roll my eyes hard enough at him still going on about this whole conspiracy being the reason the game didn't sell.

I was hoping at least Yotei would've made the jump but at least Death Stranding 2 is making it over.

I'll wait for Yotei to go on sale and get it for my launch PS5.

It really feels like Prototype with the combat and Gravity Rush with the traversal.

But hey, definitely not bad games for Remedy to pull inspiration from.

I'm genuinely curious to see how Marathon will fare since Highguard is going kaput.

@graymamba I'm sure having PSN restrictions on PC games, which locked out a good portion of the world from buying the games on Steam, hurt them more then piracy, but hey, in the end Sony is a multi-billion dollar company so they don't need me to help them figure out how they can save money, that's what they have people hired for.

@graymamba The thing is, Sony pulling back on PC releases has nothing to do with piracy. It's not mentioned in the original article or brought up by Sammy here in his opinion piece, so there's no point in arguing logistics regarding it. The other reasons were already pointed out by Jason Schreier's Bloomberg article.

@graymamba Bloodborne was never released on PC but it can be played there. MGS4 was playable on PC before the official release.

I just find it funny when people talk about piracy like we the customers have to stop it. Piracy has nothing to do with Sony's strategy here, they're looking at their own brand and how they can keep the strength up.
I think the new Xbox being able to have Steam is what's moving Sony's hand here, cause they don't want Playstation games playable on an Xbox console.

@Nei I totally get where you're coming from on your points.

The thing about PC releases is the game should be optimized for a general range of PCs, and that's why Steam does hardware surveys a few times per year, to help devs figure out what they should shoot for regarding minimum/average hardware. When Sony's games were optimized well, they played really good on a wide range of PCs, even the handhelds (Steam Deck, Legion Go etc) ran them really well without compromises.

I've already said what I said regarding releasing older or newer releases so I don't want to be a broken record on that topic lol.

But piracy well, there's nothing you can do about piracy. People are always going to crack any kind of DRM a game has and put it online.

I think the biggest reason ports like Spidey 2 didn't make a big financial splash is due to the port having a ton of issues when it was released, which makes people hesitant to buy it for full price and would rather resort to buying it on a sale. Like people say, there's issues in a few of the ports that were never fixed and likely never will.

Tsushima and Stellar Blade's ports were masterfully done and word of mouth that they're well done helps a ton for sales.
If the ports are poorly done, they're going to sell poorly.

I've said on this site way, way back that Sony putting their older games on PC, after the initial sales for a said game are really low due to it being out for a few years, is the best move to help generate more sales for the game. I don't think it hurts their overall brand when it's older releases.

Granted this is my own 2 cents on this whole debacle lol, I'm not a gatekeeper when it comes to game releases. I mean, I still think Valve should've released Half-Life Alyx on the PSVR2 cause it's one of the best VR titles out there.

From what I've heard about the game, it sounds like a real treat. But if the game leverages PSSR then I'm sure it'll run fine on the Pro.

Kinda funny since Capcom said over 50% of the 5 million sales for RE9 were on pc and they're glad they're shifting more towards pc due to how strong the sales are there.

But I guess this means Nixxes will likely close due to them being bought to help with pc ports.

Game got Concorded.

Anyways, feel bad for the devs since all that work is for naught.

I was a big time physical buyer for many years but I switched to digital a few years ago. Physical games just take up so much shelf space and I got tired of dealing with retailers/shipping companies taking a week to get a game to me that's supposed to be "guaranteed" on release.

My internet speeds have gotten a lot faster over the years which helped with my decision to switch. I also play primarily on pc so there's sites that sell Steam games with discounts.

Bandai Namco publishes so many games it's really tough to guess who it could be from. Be really cool to be a From Soft game but ya never know.

I still need to try the demo on Steam but this game really does feel like something on the Dreamcast.

The fact that the game is running on an in-house engine gives me hope it'll be well optimized. A lot of UE5 games can look great but will have persistent stutter issues in it.

I think I commented on another Shift Up article, but they seen how to develop and publish a non-mobile game so the devs feel they can do it on their own and more power to them!

Studios are hiring all the time for projects to fill in any sort of vacancies that crop up.

With Barlog working on it, it makes me optimistic and curious.

I'm all for new content for the game. Might have to replay it again when the expansion does drop.

Being able to toggle it in any game once the option is added will really make the Pro stand out from the launch console.

I'm curious to see more details about this, like the reason why FromSoft were against it. To better understand the reasoning on their part.

The pic looks like a dad and his son doing a cosplay shoot in the woods.

Of course, it may look different in motion lol.

I was surprised by good the first game was when I played it. Really excited for the sequel.

After closing Bluepoint, I feel worried about Nixxes now. Sure they're also a support studio but they were bought by Sony to specialize at PC ports/optimization.

I just hope Ghost of Yotei has a PC port since Death Stranding 2 is out on PC next month (I know DS2 isn't a first-party game per say since Kojima owns the IP, but Playstation is still publishing it on PC).

I do feel like it's pretty mia since the support for it has been almost nonexistent for a while now.

Kinda crazy how much stuff the game has and how much polish it all has. Probably the most polished looking gacha game.

I do really like how the water looks on the statue and the art on the box is pretty good.

I'm really excited for the game, Capcom have been on a great streak with RE games.

Honestly the specs aren't that bad, and knowing Kojima and his team the game will be really well optimized.
