The Vita was such as awesome product. A few shortcomings and bad vision did it in (much more the latter).
The lack of L2 and R2 buttons and the expensive storage options were the only downsides to the hardware. The OLED screen was magnificent, and it is my favorite way to play PSX classics.
I still hold out hope that we'll get another handheld from Sony that corrects the hardware problems and comes with another amazing screen. I know it's next to impossible though. Until then, My Razer Kishi on my Note 20 U with Remote Play will have to suffice.
This game is way better than I expected. Several times this game has made me giggle with glee as the top two racers get T Boned on a crossover clearing the way for me to take first in a tough race.
Good times, and good on Sony to send this one our way. For the peeps not giving it more than one shot, give it another go, some of the tracks are brilliantly designed.
@Loftimus You can find the PS4 paid version for way less than that. It's a free upgrade to PS5 from there and then you'll just have to pay for the Yuffie DLC if you want it.
@sanderson72 I'm aware of the age, but in my opinion, it hasn't aged as well as a lot of other classics. For example, Symphony of the Night has aged extremely well and released in 1997. Final Fantasy IX, in 2000. If you want to go same genre, Diablo II has fared better. All my opinions, but wasn't trying to hurt feelings. Hope you enjoy it
@OmegaStriver Appreciate that feedback. This is the reason I didn't get it. I don't really like playing the same things over and over just so I can memorize them.
@Spoonman-2 I wasn't talking about the sequel, just the original game update, the one we got for free a few weeks ago. Or maybe I'm confused and only the sequel has a free upgrade?
I swear Sony has turned the service from a side thought to a must have in less than a year. I remember early last year the games were pretty cruddy each month and a lot of complaints. Ever since the PS5 came though they've really upped their game. I appreciate the free games and am subbed for a couple more years.
Not surprising around 40% who visit here are getting it day one. I'm worried about the non ps blog visitors though. I'll wait for reviews and a sale. This isn't the game that will make me shell out $70. If this was a massive game then I get it, but its kind of a tight loop from what I've seen. I do think they've done a great job on presentation and it looks interesting. We'll see.
Add me to the waiting for price drop crew. A demo prior to release could help get people hooked and willing to spend 70 bucks. Well, if you are confident in it I guess.
Hey everyone. Buy physical. Don't give into the convenience of digital, because when these stores go tits up, you're left without support. I know that they'll eventually pull all of this stuff off the servers and if you don't have it downloaded anymore, you are s.o.l.
Half the games needing day one patches to be playable is another story. But surely people will be archiving patches for use many years down the road.
I guess when all of this goes down, which we know it will, people will be forced to pirate games because they can't get them anywhere else.
@awp69 Its all wrapped in the same thing. The app is called Game Pass and there are Cloud/PC/Console options within the Gamepass app. Yeah you can download it, but I don't have a dedicated Xbox and the point for me was to stream the games that were included in Gamepass. Which sucks compared the Nvidia and Sonys versions.
I won't be buying The Show for PS5 until it's 40 or 50 bucks (and physical). I get why everybody is upset but Gamepass isn't that great to be honest. I had a 14 day trial recently and had performance issues on my gigabit internet, and twice the whole thing was down and I could not stream games. It was a bad experience and I will not be going back.
@tinCAT-zero haha you need to chill and not be so offended by a video game commenter. Do you not see the irony in your comments? Actually I don't care what the answer is, I'm done. Sorry my one line comment of the game being overrated ruined your day

Re: Sony Extends Final Fantasy VII Exclusivity, Intergrade Won't Appear Anywhere Else for Six Months
Sony should try and make the next Call of Duty timed exclusive lol
Re: Sony Extends Final Fantasy VII Exclusivity, Intergrade Won't Appear Anywhere Else for Six Months
I don't get why people don't understand timed exclusivity. You may not like the practice, but its effective.

Day one if I can get it <60, otherwise waiting for first sale. Looks phenomenal though!
Re: Submerge Yourself with Subnautica: Below Zero PS5 Gameplay
@Bunchesopuppies Oh, so the issues you are having are playing the PS4 version on the Ps5?
If so, hopefully the upgrade fixes everything.
Re: Submerge Yourself with Subnautica: Below Zero PS5 Gameplay
@Bunchesopuppies I didn't think the PS5 version was out until May 14?

Re: Sony Suggests MLB Made the Decision to Include MLB The Show 21 on Xbox Game Pass
Wouldn't put it past Sony to let this play out, collect the pre-order and week 1 sales, and announce it as a PS Plus title in May or June.
Why say theyll give it up now and give up millions of pre-order and early week sales?
Re: Sony Suggests MLB Made the Decision to Include MLB The Show 21 on Xbox Game Pass
@CosmicFuzz Pre-order lesson learned my friend. Never pre-order (ever).

And calling a game overrated is crapping all over it? Maybe you're being a tad dramatic?
