Wild how the worst version of the game is getting loads of extra accessories.

Must be trying to sell it harder

Sounds like this announcement wasn't meant to happen yet due to obligations with other partners.

Elongating via honkais eh?

They want similar profit margins to Nintendo (20-30% over the Switch generation) even though Microsoft has much higher revenue and costs.

What does this mean? Copy the Nintendo playbook: lower budgets, smaller teams, more games, sell your hardware at a profit and not a loss.

Next Xbox will be over $1000, and the games? Not sure if they can manage that one. They haven't got over a decade.

@cainhurst94 I remember when Breath of the Wild had to sell 2m units to break even and be profitable after 7 years of dev time.

It's western developers who have the issues with unrealistic expectations.

And SquareEnix.

With a soundtrack by one hit wonder Neil Diamond!

The only way it could be more anime is if it was an actual anime.

At which point it would be owned under Sony's anime monopoly anyway kekw

@SuperSilverback 7 discs and its own SSD.

Anyway, $60 for both games? That's a better deal than the $40 for the one coming in January.

This is gonna be a fun comments section. Where's my popcorn?

If acquired, they'll be closed within three years.

Hilariously, this might be why CoD is now exempt from the Day One on Game Pass thing for up to a year post release.

NSO looks even more like daylight robbery now. Good heavens.

Then again, anything looks like theft compared to 30 a month.

Can't wait for The Last of Us Day 2026 where we see Intergalactic: A The Last of Us Story release.

@Jrs1 They're saying thanks for supporting our new game and we didn't have anything to do with this other one with big issues, sorry we can't help and your response is....that?

Comes out later than the Switch 2 versions and also don't have an upgrade option like those versions.

Sonic Racing Crossworlds had a digital deluxe version on Switch with no early access but every other platform did.

SEGA needs to...I dunno....be consistent?

It's not "so-called" Directors Cut.

That's what it IS called.

I'm not paying £80 to have Mega Man appear in a game when Capcom had Mega Man 11 outsell every other individual release in the series and then do sweet FA with the IP after that.

After Sony started charging £70 minimum for games I tuned out.

No Sony, £70 is not the same as $70. £50 is the same as $70.

Which means even back in the PS3 days we were being overcharged.

I played the demo on PC and apart from the laughable graphics options (mostly yes or no) I found the best way to stop the game looking....well, a mess, is to disable anti aliasing entirely. No matter which one you use, it absolutely smothers the screen, add onto that all the visual noise and even at native 1440p it looked far far worse.

Which might explain why all the trailers never grabbed me, and the gameplay snippets. I thought it was compression and streaming quality making it all pixelated and low resolution. Turns out no, it's the UE5 special.

Every UE5 game gets a UE5 special. Spin the wheel and find out what easily fixable visual problem you get today!

So not only has the price gone up several times in Europe, now that new higher price stays while paying for less.

Shame they're such a key partner that the Switch version doesn't get early access, nor have we had a single screenshot of the mythical Switch 2 release.

In fact, they're such a good partner that despite historically having the highest per platform sales for the series, they take the laziest route to get the games working on the hardware and are by some margin the worst versions, even when it's proven they don't need to be.

Never forget Sonic Generations being manually coded to run at 31.5fps on Switch for literally no reason.

@nessisonett My TV is at the end of my bed so.....uh.....hm.

@Oram77 Oh yeah, you put out max settings on PC, or even on a mid-high tier PC like my 4070 Super, and it runs rings in many games around PS5. PS5 Pro....not as much. Plus it gets pretty much all the same games.

But we can see SW2 can do...a lot...for whats in there. The fact that Star Wars Outlaws is similar resolution to Series S with more raytracing and very sensible nips and tucks at the same, more stable, frame rate....is weird for something so low power.

But also the fact that this is what we are doing under this article, comparing hair and lighting when it is the exact same game running on a tablet....yeah I think these kinds of comparisons are valid, but ultimately moot: its the same game, at similar quality.

This aint the Wii and PS3 anymore.

And at 11, water is wet.

And saying Sony republished it, is a bit wrong. They simply uploaded their version of that content.

To republish would be to remove Nintendo's and replace it with theirs.

Cant believe Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is coming to Xbox Series later this year.

On January 22nd! Didnt know we had a new calendar

I'm still waiting for a Soulslike or Samurai based game with its own unique personality but here we are still eating em all up.

How does it have FMV cutscenes if its also fully playable on an NES?

I very much doubt it's a Mega Man game. It took them years, several times over, to make a new one, both in 2008 and 2018, when a small team in Capcom decided to do it.

Worse still, 11 sold the most of all of them, and we've had some collections, and then the guy who was shepherding the series to these new highs....just upped and left Capcom.

So there goes all of that, I guess. NFTs!

Get ready.....to be ready....to get ready.

Lemme know when they finish it.

We're today announcing the announcement of the release date of the pre-release period of our live service game with no release date.

Unreal Engine 5 is a blight, and should have been seen coming after the mess that was UE3, and the overcentralisation that was UE4.

It cant possibly live up to the hype.

Feel bad for the devs.

Jill sandwich with extra buns and baps as per gacha gooner bait tradition.

Make it rain lads. Make it rain.

You've never felt rain have you?

How much more Wu can games have?

Also, none of us here are aware of what Wuxia is. The article doesn't say what it is.

Congratulations or sorry to hear that, regardless.

Now stop giving me the weebie jeebies.

Who, who, and who?

Also, only $20m? What a shame, cant afford that next mansion.

East is relative.

Anyway, now I just want an Eeveelution called Joseon that I can nickname Woochi.

Wukong? Wyvern? Wutang?

Yes, and I'm the King of Siam.

Company wants to make more money but doesn't want to invest in it.

And Sony went on and said "yep, we'll have you guys".

Only 1440p? God. It's an old UE4 game. What is this, the Switch 2?

Oh no.

Anyway.

I expect this to be a repeat of the SNES PlayStation, where Sony would have to be paid by Nintendo to release games on their own hardware, just because of how the rights would have worked out.

This is Sony's movie and movie IP now.

Does Woochi die on the way back to his home planet?

Given Sony has their hands in a majority of anime distribution and production it's weird to say that it's not already exploded.

I suppose if they acquire the last few stragglers maybe

A practice that could do with going away.

It's quite sad they want access to it so they can destroy it. Hardly preserving of others work, even if somewhat derivative.

Can't wait for release day on the 26th. Shame it's so expensive though.

"To reiterate, our policy is to only ever review PlayStation code."

This is good, but developers also host previews on other builds that your sister sites have played, and then published thoughts on for other games, so is this just a PS thing, or overall?

Also, does that include PC reviews, because saying ever implies you won't review Sony's PC releases.

How on earth do you guys keep dropping articles in the future?

A restaurant in this game?

Nice buns.

@get2sammyb Tell a lie actually, the press release states PvZ is exclusive.

Which is bizarre because that's EA. They must be feeling ill.
