Love this! Day One buy if real. I played Persona 1 on PSP but gave up pretty early, in the SEBEC building iirc. The insanely high encounter rate drove me crazy.
No surprises there, after their CEO explicitly said their current goal was to extract the maximum money from their player base and monetize their customers as much as possible...
Thanks for the heads-up Sammy. This one looks very interesting. Still hoping Shuten Order and Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy make their way to the PS5 despite the low chance.
Played these games ages ago, just ordered The Old Country for less than £20 and am planning to replay the Trilogy in their Native PS5 versions as soon as Mafia 2's ready, such a brilliant gaming series!
First it was Grandia, then Suikoden and Lunar, after that Terranigma, and now Lufia. Amazing. The only one missing now is Breath of Fire. Please do it, Capcom!
"The Burbank-based outfit has gone from releasing Spider-Man 2 in 2023 — rated at a very impressive 90 — to giving us a 77-rated Wolverine four years later."
DAMN, I didn't realize we were in 2027 already, time sure flies!
Remastering them is not enough, they need proper remakes. The PSP versions of P1 and P2 are just too frustrating, those random encounters are truly unbearable.
FuRyu games are among the weirdest I have ever played. Crystar, Monark, and Varlet being some examples. Not brilliant, not rubbish, but weird and decent enough even if awfully repetitive.
Very happy thanks to Chained Echoes. There are hardly ever any JRPGs on Essential, the only ones I can think of are Persona 5 Strikers and Yakuza: Like A Dragon. The never-satisfied moaners are out in droves as usual.
@Krlozgod Eeeeeh, Zero and Azure Remakes would be pretty pointless since we've already seen over 90% of Crossbell in 3D thanks to Cold Steel III & IV + Reverie
@Rich33 It is a great game, but boy is it difficult, I'm not a Soulslike fan at all but keep persevering as I find the atmosphere, visuals, and lore excellent

Re: Sony Wants You to Trade In Your PS5 for $400 if You're Not Using It
"Up to" and "From" are terms that should be banned in advertising. We all know no one's getting $400 from this deal.
Re: Poll: Which PS5 Games Did You Buy During the Insane Pre-GTA 6 Rush?

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for November 2026?

Re: Conan Exiles Enhanced Is a Major Visual Upgrade for PS5, Free for Existing Players
@SinglePlayer49 Exactly the question I was going to ask, I'd guess probably not considering Mafia 1 & 3 via PS Plus don't grant their PS5 versions
Re: Capcom's Classic Console Games Could Be Coming to PS5
I'd like all Breath of Fire games, guess I & II is a good start
Re: Poll: Are You Taking Time Off for GTA 6?

I'm baffled as to why they haven't remastered Phantasia, I want to play the Tales series in release order
Re: PlayStation Celebrates 30 Years of Gran Turismo with a Stunning PS5 Controller
Tempting, but the design isn't good enough to justify buying yet another DualSense

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for October 2026?
@Djbeng2520 Hahahaha dream on mate. It's either Max's first win of the season or Kimi's ninth.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for October 2026?
If there ever was a reason to be happy about my PS Plus expiring, this is it.

Can't wait to dig into this once my Steelbook Edition arrives next month
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Marvel's Wolverine on PS5?
Plan on playing it after a heavy discount as it's defo not worth its full price
Re: PS5 Blackout Protest Made 'No Significant Change at All' to Player Counts, Says US Data
An expected outcome. Useless. Blackout should have been on Wolverine or GTA VI release weeks.
Re: Poll: 10 Years Later, Is Persona 5 a True JRPG Masterpiece?
"we poor fools here in the west had to wait nearly seven whole months for Persona 5's localisation on PS4."
on PS3 and PS4*
Don't forget the PS3
As for the topic at hand, Persona 5 is most definitely a masterpiece. I will never forget how playing that game made me feel back in 2017.

Re: The Witcher Remake Put on Ice as Dev Focuses on New Expansion and The Witcher 4
Yeah, no, I'd have preferred TW1 & 2 Remakes before TW4
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for September 2026?
Very happy thanks to Chained Echoes. There are hardly ever any JRPGs on Essential, the only ones I can think of are Persona 5 Strikers and Yakuza: Like A Dragon. The never-satisfied moaners are out in droves as usual.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for September 2026 Announced
Very happy with Chained Echoes. JRPGs are extremely rare on Essential.

Re: The Wolf Among Us Remastered Brings Back a Telltale Classic This October on PS5
Sadly no free upgrade for owners of the PS4 version I guess... Can't expect every dev to be as generous as CD Projekt Red...
