This sounds like a statement intended for investors.

"there’s nothing here that will prove particularly problematic"

"you’ll need to finish Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero"

I think I'll pass on the platinum, thanks 😂

I could swear this shut down a few years ago, probably some Mandela effect going on. Like I think I remember a similar announcement in sites etc.

I am so in for this. Tokyo Drift here we fn go!!!

Having to unlock your team mates is a dumb decision, don't understand why you'd do that, I bet that gets patched out in a season 2.0-type patch.

Most other things look great, keen to try it.

I've not changed my avatar since the PS3. That angry wolf in a red background is too cool.

I will remind everyone that CSS, while cool looking, means nothing. Strive beta CSS was completely different to the final product, so I don't think it's any use trying to guess roster numbers based on that.

Yaaaaas Boltgun GET IN!!!

@Dalamar lol bro you are just making stuff up. It's well documented the game was developed by Platinum

@Dalamar Err what? They made the whole game, they weren't "just" brought in to do the combat. You actually think Yoko Taro was alone in a room writing, programming, testing every other aspect of the game, while an entire studio was only working on the combat? What are you on cause I'd like some for myself lmao

@arsmolinarc Really? Do you have a source for that? I'm not doubting, genuinely interested to read it! I remember around that time chat that Demon's Souls was not considered a success, which is why Atlus published it in the west and Bamco published Dark Souls.

Well Sony's taken 10 years and done nothing with Bloodborne, not surprised From turned to Nintendo to make "Not Bloodborne".

Same way Sony dragged their feet with Demon's souls, and From turned to Bamco to make "Not Demon's Souls".

@NeonTiger Nah. Never. Until they do something with it, I will keep being disappointed with SoPs, keep downvoting in polls, keep expressing my disappointment with Sony. Does that impact my life at all? Nope, it does not.
But until I see some life injected into the GOAT of IPs, Sony can't do anything, anything at all that will satisfy me. I simply care for very little beyond Bloodborne as far as gaming is concerned these days. And I'll never keep quiet about it.
You all can keep doing what makes you happy, and so will I 🤷‍♂️

GTA 6 can come out running at a shaky 25-30fps and it's still going to be the best selling game of all time. You overestimate how much the vast majority of this series' audience care about things like resolution and frame rates.

I know a handful of people that have not bought a video game since GTA5 and are on standby to buy a ps5 as soon as this comes out.

Oh come on, it will be more powerful than a PS4 lol. I know Nintendo hardware is usually a bit less powerful than its competitors, but saying it's gonna be weaker than 10+ year old tech is crazy talk.

@DennisReynolds nah I don't believe that. Adult videos are free and way easier to access compared to a £70 ps5 game. There's more to this game than titillation. Which is there, I'm not denying that, but saying that's all there is to it is a bit much.

@Cloud39472 I'll be honest, I fn wish the in game Adam had more interesting outfits in the game, considering how much work went in Eve's wardrobe, the supporting cast could do with some love.

@MrPeanutbutterz Well... Yeah. Yet another game in a sea of games starring gruff dudes would be more forgettable, don't know what point you're trying to make.

No way there's 3 games better than Stellar Blade this year. Not for me anyway.

Damn this is pathetic, it's been several hours now, how is this still broken lmao

@BIG3 Ha, as if I needed an excuse to do NG+4 LET'S GOOOOOO 😁

@Oram77 Fair! You know I really didn't like Revelations much when it first came out, not too sure why but it just didn't make an impression.

Then I replayed it years later and was like, what was I thinking? This game is great!

@Oram77 Woah that's crazy! I respect your opinion friend, but for me Syndicate is probably 2nd favourite, behind Black Flag.

That's fine, take all my money Shift Up. Literally cannot wait for this.

@colonelkilgore Not really, R* hired them and signed off on releasing these versions, they're the publisher. If they genuinely weren't happy with their work they would have asked them to address it before release, or take it to a different developer if they thought GS were not up to the task.

But that's not what happened, R* will have signed off on these remasters and released them anyway, so they're to blame imo.

No Stellar Blade?!?! Are they deaf?

Nah, I'm ignoring the haters, this is good news. F9 was not the best in the series, but still very enjoyable.

And there's no better fit for Mass Effect than a Fast and Furious writer. Action packed, dysfunctional family dynamics, cheesy one liners, you name it.

I'd say go one step further, get Justin Lin to direct it and Vin Diesel as Shepard and I'm there frame 1.

LET'S GOOOOOO!!

Jeeeeez nothing for Stellar Blade? Pretty outrageous tbh

Not to be that guy, but I will be that guy and point out it should be spelled Principal Photography 🙈

@OthmaneAD Oh, "just" a 4090?

Like, my man, I'm not a fan of PS5 Pro is not great and it is pretty expensive, but you can't compare a sole graphics card that costs x2.5 times the cost of the entire system and say "well that does it better". Well duh.

@RoomWithaMoose Agreed that it does sound a bit confusing throwing all those comparisons in, I guess putting all that together, to me it sounds like Hunt Showdown, but with a scifi setting and a faster/more action oriented gameplay.

Which I don't know, maybe it could work? I've not played other extraction shooters, but at least in Hunt the slow pace and tension is what makes it so enjoyable. Not sure how a game of that type would play out if everyone was mad dashing and gunning and throwing Supers all over the place. I'll wait and see.

Oh come on, I think this has been read completely wrong (or not at all) judging by the comments. Doesn't look to me there's any actual beef, I feel like Geoff is trying to banter with them and not being any good at it, which might be a bit awk but don't see any malice behind it.

Yes, yes it is. It's an absurd price point for a games console. If they did what they did with 4 (same price point as the base one, while the base gets a price drop) I would have considered it. I play on a 4K 120hz TV so would be up for the extra horsepower/visuals.

Not like this, I don't think the gains warrant it, the PS5 doesn't feel like it's reaching it's limits anyway, I'm happy enough playing at 60 at lower resulutions than 4K.

How does Bloodborne run? Still 30fps?

They did the same with PS All Stars, Cloud was the most glaring omission there. Although that game had many other obvious ones missing, so Square's absence is even more noticeable here.

I dunno man, seems a bit of a reach. To me anyway, service implies something you pay for. So like if something gets updated over time I consider this support, not service. Schematics, I know, but that's what I consider live service, either subscriptions, expansions, season passes, micro transactions, or a combination of the above.

@Toot1st Context is important though. MK has always had much bigger mass market appeal, but also MK11 was the follow up to MKX, which is considered one of, if not the best, MK games, period. That's from both casual and competitive audiences, so hype was a lot higher to jump on. By comparison, MK11 was not as well received, so not as many people jumped on MK1 and that shows.

SF6 got a great launch and reception, but it was also following up SF5, which had a troubled launch to say the least (even though it did turn things around).

Lastly that's MK11's lifetime sales, SF6 has only been out a year. Don't know if it's gonna reach those numbers, but can see it doing at least 8-10 million by the end of it's run.

Nice one, good selection. Love that they're including the odd sports game the last few years. Not for me, but that audience felt largely ignored from PS Plus in the past.

YAAAAAAAAAS!

F2P is the only way it might have a chance at resurgence, along with a re-launch, 2.0 of sorts, touting new features etc

Even then it will be tough, but there's no chance in hell it gains an audience at that price for entry. And without an audience, there's really no future for a MP live service game.

@Mortal Rollback is a big reason. Yes, Fightcade has been filling that gap for a while now, but a lot of people either don't have PCs, or don't want to mess around with downloads from odd sites, setting up etc, they'd prefer something that's just plug and play.

Fightcade is relatively easy to set up and runs on low end PCs, but it still asks you to download roms from what might seem untrusty websites and servers, so for people (understandably) uncomfortable with that, this is a great release.

@Rich33 Upper was just an updated version of it, the last version that was in arcades and Dreamcast. Has a couple extra characters in it.

@DualWielding Because I'm almost certain all of the included games run on the same arcade system (Naomi/Dreamcast). So there's probably a Naomi emulator running in the background.

OG Rival Schools was running on a Sony guy, essentially a PS1 in an arcade cabinet.

I honestly thought they'd break CvS and 3D fighters into separate collections. That's a cracking release.

10/10 game. No notes.

Revisionist history is punching down on Dragon Age Inquisition, what the actual hell? That was an incredible game.

CVS collection will be next I feel, especially given how they're still working with SNK. After that, yeah, Rival Schools/Project Justice makes the most sense

Anyone know if the eyes on the touchpad are lighting up? Or just painted on? Can't find any info online

It's a great idea, Steam reviews are one of the best things in the games industry, and also one of the few feedback systems out there that makes publishers listen and put things in effect quickly when there's issues with their games.

Also a very handy graphic here with UK times for anyone interested:
