I have still yet to see a single explanation anywhere that explains how limiting the language of the console has any bearing on price whatsoever.

Stupid question, incoming...
How, exactly, does locking it to one language make it so much cheaper? Is there a specific language chip or other parts on the hardware side that limit/expand those capabilities? It seems like language would be a matter of software which, realistically, should have no bearing on cost whatsoever. This really makes no sense to me without additional details.

This is why physical copies are the way to go (for me, at least).

The only way I could beat Maximum Carnage was with a Game Genie on the SNES back in the day.

My top 5 in 2025 was:

1) Metroid Prime 4: Beyond
2) Donkey Kong Bananza
3) Doom: The Dark Ages
4) Ghost of Yotei
5) Mortal Kombat Legacy Collection

Settings, settings and more settings!
I still appreciate the times when we just popped in a game and played.

I've somehow managed to never create a Steam account.

Will there be a physical release of this on PS5?

I've never cared what Digital Foundry says about any system. They have clear biases and ultimately, if something is fun, that's all that matters.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Direct and am extremely excited for Switch 2. Also currently enjoying my PS5 Pro.

I will only purchase this game if it gets a physical release. Period.

I find it nearly unwatchable because of how bloated, self-indulgent and cringy it is.

Liminal space

Those launch day PlayStation demos stick in my brain to this day. The T-Rex, Manta Ray, the rotating 3D shapes…pure memory overload. Also, the game demos! Kileak the DNA Imperative, Jumping Flash, and the super cinematic voiceover for Philosoma - “Can you Survive?” - sends a chill down my spine. That PS startup sound!
I could go on and on and then the first two games I bought with my own money were Battle Arena Toshinden and Warhawk.I sold me SNES and about 15 games at a pawn shop so I’d have the money to pre-order the PS and waited in front of Electronics Boutique with my mom in Wichita, Kansas for the doors to open so I could get my day one preorder go home and take over the living room tv for the weekend. I really miss those days!

Pretty sure a big part of that PS1 startup sound was made on a Roland D-50 synthesizer.

Fool me once (PSP), fool me twice (PS Vita), fool me thrice (PSVR)...

Fans have simply never shown "enough support" for those extension devices in the Sony ecosystem so why would it be different now?

I haven't seen a collapse at Nintendo. Maybe there is a management problem.

I've been on the PS Direct site in the US for going on 9.5 hours. I was through and my "spot in line was secured" then the site refreshed and kicked me in to the waiting room where is said "the line is paused". 10 minutes after the sale was supposed to happen, my waiting room message changed to "Your estimated wait time is: more than an hour" and hasn't changed for nearly 15 more minutes. This is maddening.

@Leon_93 Same! I thoroughly enjoyed both of them!

I've tried a few times with this game and I just can't figure out why it doesn't click with me.

Can't stand the chibi aesthetic.

Are the Kameo characters playable? Looks like the MK take on Smash Bros. in a way.

Safe to assume redacted is only signed on for a few episodes in season 2 then, right?

Will I be able to use The Undertaker in his original gray outfit in WWE 2K23?

@BeerIsAwesome Well, played sir.

Unpopular opinion: I did not enjoy TLOU and by a little over half way through the game, I just wanted it to be over and finished out of stubbornness rather than enjoyment. I found the Uncharted games more interesting but even those got a little longing the tooth in the last third of the games.

Will I be able to use different era versions of the Undertaker? If not, I don't want this game.

I have never understood trophy and achievement hunting in games. Just play the game and enjoy the escape/experience. After all, isn't that the point?

Hopefully they use better running animations in the next game. Most games can’t seem to get that right.

I really hope there is a 30th anniversary PS5 console/dual sense that is all done up in the original Playstation color scheme. I love and miss the gray boxes of old!

The combat was so off-putting for me on the PS4 that I don't plan to repurchase on the PS5. With that said...the visuals do seem to look better.

Is there anything that I should NOT sell to Brock and Sindri? I'm about 2/3 of the way through The Path and I have yet to sell anything.

The blurry box behind the on-screen dialogue in this game is driving me nuts!

I would be more than happy to play a God of War 2D Metroidvania.

Sadly, a lot of my favorites from the 2600 on were made by Activision and others besides Atari.

Pitfall
Jungle Hunt
River Raid
Moon Patrol
Cannon Fodder
Kasumi Ninja

Original Playstation classic gray is the only extra Dual Sense controller I would be willing to purchase. Sadly, the 30th anniversary of PSX isn't until 2025 so I won't hold my breath.

Time for Sony to buy Rockstar and pull all of their games from Microsoft.

Is this game worth purchasing if I don't want to play online?

Unpopular opinion:
I didn't really like The Last of Us. I found it slow and tedious and really just wanted it to end by about halfway through the campaign. The story was good but definitely didn't make up for the slog of trying to complete the game.

I’d buy a classic PS1 gray controller and plates but no other color option.

A legit, full remake of the original RE game would be an instant buy from me at this point. Ditch the tank controls and go full out on 4K, HDR, Ray Tracing, etc. The Spencer Mansion would look amazing with modern visuals.

A 3rd Person, open world Resistance game would be awesome.

20 hours in and I can truly say that I simply do not like Elden Ring. I can’t get into the story, the systems, the mechanics/controls, etc. character movement is odd, and it’s not as visually impressive as I had expected. I get a similar vibe from GTA games.

I wish someone would make a Masters of the Universe fighting game with the mechanics and quality of a Mortal Kombat game.

Would have made more sense to use J.K. Simmons as Sully if they were so intent on using Tom Holland for his popularity (definitely not his acting ability). At least that way you could get even more Spiderman vibes from the movie.

If emulation of PS1 and PS2 games is easy, it's too bad games from that era couldn't be re-released on a Blu-ray disk in a way that is both affordable and seamless to work with PS5. Maybe a company like Limited Run Games could be the distributor. I know this all sounds dumb but I'd probably buy them.

@colonelkilgore I feel exactly the same.

I could care less about different endings in games. I just play the games as I see fit then move along when finished. If I absolute MUST see different endings, I'll spend a few minutes watching on Youtube instead of sinking another 100+ hours into something.

Classic Gray is the only color I want.

This game is all about the🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
