@kyleforrester87 I'm not sure about Free Market, but rather than petition, just don't buy any forced online games. Not buying their games, is the only response a developer will understand.

As this hasn't worked, a more direct approach is needed. DON'T buy the game(s) to begin. It's the only way this will change.

Looks like I will be sticking with the original on my PS3.

@Haggis555 That's why I haven't bought one since TSW2, which has bugs that still haven't, and will never, be fixed.

You should have gone with Q'ute, (a substitute for Q in the John Gardner Bond books).

As a lifelong Bond fan, this is my most anticipated game for 2026. I like what I have seen so far.

I only just discovered this series about a fortnight ago. I downloaded the demo of Atelier Yumia, and I didn't even finish the demo, before I ordered a copy of the full game.

Finally, the scar makes it's long overdue appearance.

checks calendar So it's not April 1st.

They must be mad, expecting people to pay £60 for a 7 year old game. Especially when a pre owned copy can be got for a fraction of the price.

£80 for a game is enough of an incentive to wait for a sale.

I was interested, but the lack of a physical release is a deal breaker. No thanks.

And this is why you should always keep a PS2 (and a well stocked game collection) handy.

I will keep buying physical until the bitter end.

Probably spread by the same people who tried to petition the first game.

Is it expecting too much that Sony might have learned their lesson?

A remaster of a game from last gen, and can be played on the current gen console? I don't think so.

If a tax could be placed on the word 'grift', then that £22bn black hole would be filled and then some.

I might pick this up at some point, but only when the price is more agreeable.

I'm still a little concerned that this might get cancelled due to Ubi's recent troubles,

No, I will skip it, and go straight to the PS6.

Damn, this is.... sketchy. But this is why a digital only future is NOT the way to go. But I fear most gamers won't realise this until it's too late.

The textures are actually worse on the remaster (look at the sleeves). Not only that, but the OG is only 7 years old, AND can be played on the PS5. This is a pointless waste of resources, i'll stick with the OG.

So it's forced online, there's no option to race offline?

@Truegamer79 The original AC had its faults, but it far from sucked. It is still one of my favourite AC games.

I didn't even know this game had released. Not that it makes any difference, nothing about it appeals to me.

Not played it, not a SW fan.

At the current price point of AAA games, I tend to wait for a price drop. I have such a big backlog of games, that I don't NEED to buy a game as soon as it's released.

I never got around to completing the first game, I will need to sort that out before getting this.

I wonder if those predisposed to outrage, will try to cancel this one as well. Just another reason to buy it and support the Devs.

Welcome to Sir Kier Stallin's Britain.

Definitely will be trying this. As much of a fan of Sniper Elite as I am, it's nice to see Rebellion do something different.

I buy only physical games, but GAME make it tougher to support them, when they charge for delivery to store. I think it's around £4.99.

Have people forgotten the Fallout 76 debacle?

I still buy physical only, there have been some digital only games, that I would have bought on physical, but not many.

Here's a little advice for Sony, and this is free: show, don't tell. So far, it's the same old service, just dearer, and when my subscription expires in December, I won't be resubbing.

I would laugh if it wasn't so anti-consumer. It's so blatantly miserly, we can't even copy PS5 saves to USB, to force us to sub to PS+. No, no way.

@Nyne11Tyme The PS2 and PS3 doesn't deserve that disrespect. Going on what I have seen so far, this game looks so bad, that it must have been cobbled together to hold on to the rights.

No. Generation Zero, is good, but I already have it. Black Desert is an MMORPG, so that's a not for me. And the Saints Row reboot, is trash by all accounts. If this is a sign where the more expensive PS+ is heading, then I am glad that I will be letting mine lapse in November.

I won't be resubbing. Not having access to cloud saves will take some adjusting to, at first.

Does anyone want to tell Sony that they are a little early for April Fools Day?

The only real benefit I got, was cloud storage. Being able to redownload save data that I had deleted x months ago was handy. I rarely took advantage of the free games, as most of the time, I already had them, or weren't interested in the lineup. And I don't play online that much anymore. When my Essential subscription expires in December, I had been considering not renewing it. Thank you, Sony, you just made my decision all the more easier.

And here endeth my journey with the series. I'm not interested in digital only.

@rjejr Speak for yourself. When digital becomes the only option, I will stop buying games. There have already been digital only games that I haven't bought. It's quite easy when you have willpower.

I can live without COD on PS, but not Yakuza. I will give up on gaming, before I let myself be forced over a barrel by Microsoft.

Removing the names of those no longer part of the studio, that's not an accident. A ****** thing to do, as they each hand a hand in the games creation.

Firstly, I wouldn't have bought the digital deluxe edition, because it's digital. And secondly, the suits all look like crap. I'll stick to the standard suit this time around.

@AdamNovice - That would be something. I'd play this with the Last Stand suit.

Is there no physical release planned? 🤔

@Gamer_Guy I'll go with 'not', and stick to Disc.

Before you promote this game further, you need to look into the ties between the developers and the Russian government.

All the assumptions that this is a male. shakes head People from all walks of life can be *****.

I haven't seen that much criticism of this game. Other games have had a much worse reception from the gaming community. The suggested negative reaction in this article has been overblown.

Majima isn't actually crazy, it's all an act.

No more COD on Playstation, I can live with that easily.

But what about the price? Will it be cheaper than the current disk version PS5? I'll hold off on buying a PS5 until the price is revealed, then I will buy whichever one is cheapest.

Cue all the "screw PS4" trolls.

@jrt87 I thought that external drives could now be used on PS5. If not, then I guess that is Sony's way to drive more people to sub for cloud storage.

My PS+ Essential sub is due to expire this month, and I am questioning why I would need to renew it. I already no longer play multiplayer games, and with a couple of external storage devices at hand, I don't even need the cloud storage.

Also, Haunting Ground is one of my favourite (PS2) games.
