My god this is the best line-up by default. Idk why Sony decided to give us 5 full games here but I'm definitely happy to see it. Neon White is definitely the highlight for me but Killing Floor 3 could probably be fun and very curious Synduality since I've never heard of it before but look cool from the screenshot here.
It does suck that the live service hole of games is just keeping kids away from new experiences, but hopefully if I'm reading this correctly, that the 37% of kids that want a new physical game is part of the overall sample in comparison to the 3/5 kids the specifically want a video game related gift. Because maybe at least then kids are asking for either currency and a new video game. But even if it is a proportion of the proportion then that's at least still pretty good. Hopefully all those kids get the games they want (and that they're picking out some cool titles as well lol)
@Flaming_Kaiser Fair, but my point is that game difficulty doesn't feel like a good excuse for a refund. They have a game that probably is eligible ror refunds in some way, but not for the game difficulty, because that's the way its always been. Never saw people getting mad at the SF 30th Anniversary Collection for the original bugged difficulty of SSF2T, it's just how the game has always been
Well I think that's unfair to the collection, because Digital Eclipse just wanted to reproduce it as accurately as possible. Like imagine if someone said that Elden Ring was too hard so they had to pester Sony for a refund, everyone would say that's not the best reason to refund it, unless you for some reason didn't know it would be ahead of time and thought you weren't going to beat it in a manageable time schedule, but even then these arcade games.
It sucks that the ESports division couldn't be swayed, but I guess they saw the money that Japan is willing to pay for SF and didn't want to back down until at least this CPT Season is over. Hopefully after that point they are able to walk it back
I mean I know the people at Halo Studios don't want it to be, but Microsoft definitely want it to be. They would of just brought over the Master Chief Collection if they wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder, but a good preexisting collection doesn't make people do nostalgia orgasms (sorry PushSquare I couldn't think of another way to put it) by saying a remake is certified "awesome" with "awesome" graphics compared to just playing the original that is actually awesome and important for a reason
@Stepan Already said but Sega does consider 1 million copies to be pretty good for Sonic games especially in terms of spin-offs. I would probably assume they're expecting this to be a title with good legs, just as most of their other Sonic games are so it'll probably get higher as the holiday season rolls in
Xbox is definitely sabotaging Onsidian with how they're marketing the Outer Worlds 2, which is funny considering they've arguably have been the studio that has produced the most stuff since they got bought out
Man it feels so quaint to hear DotEmu getting excited about 200,000 copies when most companies can't even be happy with a few million and even DotEmu having SoR4 and Shredder's Revenge both selling at least a million each. My guess since DotEmu needed to license out different IP's and this is their first original title, they more so were just hoping it had any type of success which is nice to see it's doing well for them so far
Really glad to see this coming. Have been wishing the PS Store would get this for a long while. Hopefully even if we can write reviews rn on console that hopefully we can view them on console
-Waits multiple months after digital release for physical release -Physical release still requires an internet download Like that stuff is just annoying why even wait to release a physical version if you don't get everything on disc? Just don't bother or wait to drop the digital version with the physical?
I wonder of this will affect live-service games as well with new updates once this releases, because if so I bet we definitely will see many of them announcing support ending for last-gen systems soon as Sony makes these public.
Considering Clap Handz has done every thing possible to try and avoid Sony out of spite it does suck that they have to be the ones facing issues for a game they didn't make.
The track they showed off of Wily Castle looks so good, probably the best one they've shown. Just looked like they really took the time to get a lot of the animations down and looking clean
She's looking so very cool! Definitely seems like they're trying to keep her SF4 identity in tact so it's going to be very interesting to see how technical she is compared to her in SF4 and even MVC3
Playing through Returnal rn and very much enjoying it so I'm very excited to see what they're doing with Saros. They're probably Sony's only western based studio that's making games that are unique and interesting right now.
@Dudeitsme Actually it's already a thing as a part of the Sega Ages line. Normally cost about $8 but can be had for cheaper regularly since Sega does a lot of sales
@Questionable_Duck Ok that would make sense. Feels a little strange it wouldn't be in the English one but hey maybe Japan gets along more with the RPG's than us in the west
@seinfeldfanatic I know I'm just being hyperbolic. It just feels strange they wouldn't have this in a Nintendo Direct because I know most people ain't playing Mega Man on PlayStation
Man they are just drip feeding games worse than Nintendo now for PS Plus Premium. Sony has so many first party games they could do but they're just so slow trying to drain people of their Premium subs lol
I don't think Sucker Punch needs to do a Sly Cooper if they feel like they wouldn't want to make one, I just wish that of they wanted to do so, they could make a new games in a different styles from what they've been doing for the past 2 decades or so, at least visually.
Gotta respect them for picking Joe of all characters for the line up. That's a deepcut stupid pick made for weirdos like me. Idk who Don Savage is though. Feels like a made up character like Sawada to get Eric Andre in the movie
All of the titles in November I want aren't coming out on my birthday but COD is 😭. Very excited for this when it comes out. Still have a huge backlog to work through plus college existing, but I'm very excited to try the demo
I thankfully bought Dragon's Crown for super cheap many years ago but still gotta finish it. Oden Sphere I tried on PS Plus but I do want to get a physical of because I did really enjoy it.
We already knew this was coming, but I couldn't help but laugh during EVO when they showed the costumes. People must of been getting real partched in the arena
Xbox is 100% going to try again when they can. Like I bet if they're able to they would go back and make an exception for COD this year and it would do gangbusters at $80
It's kinda funny this comes out after the devs say that they have big plans for GG, but I gotta wonder if true what this was and why it was cancelled since GG is at it's highest point ever in notaritaty
I'm still waiting to hear a sales update on Versus Rising, because that's one I feel like people have really overlooked, at least in terms of more mainstream players.
I do always like PS Plus when I get Essential and get to have a selection of games every month that I can play through, even if they aren't games I'm excited about all the time, I still claim them since even after that month, if I want to maybe play it later I can, and so I've been able to play quite a few titles I've wanted to play for a hot moment (doing that rn with BRCF and going to for KOF 15). I mainly have the problem with the service because of online multiplayer. Like as it got more expensive, and probably will get more expensive, it's just annoying I gotta pay more money to play online in games that I also paid for in order to have the complete experience to enjoy, let alone play at all in certain cases (which is why I don't buy games of the ladder camp). It's honestly the reason I sold my PS4 copy of SF6 when the Switch 2 released because I get to actually play online more in it than on Playstation since online is only $20, and I can play it anywhere.
@Oram77 Tbf I think he means just on a usual basis yeah Nintendo is mainly advertising Mario Kart rn, but we have Donkey Kong coming next month, Drag X Drive coming this summer, new Hyrule Warriors coming this winter, Pokemon Legends ZA coming in October, Kirby Air Riders and Metroid Prime 4 still coming this year, the Switch 2 versions of Kirby & The Forgotten Land and Mario Party Jamboree which basically act like new DLC for those games, Splatoon Raiders which is probably coming soon, not to mention they'll have a Direct sometime soon that will announce even more games I'm sure
Oh damn. That's actually crazy Game Freak is working on a project like this. I know better than most about all of their other games they've put out in the past few years, but I didn't expect anything like this.
I wondered the same thing for the past how many years, and in the back of my head saying that a fighting game would be the easiest lay-up ever for Sony to have a good live service title. I guess all I needed was a little patience as I see they understood the assignment
If this is actually true, that would actually be super cool. More 2D projects is the type of smaller titles I would want to see from Sony so I would actually be very interested in this off of principal of this is real
