I can see them ending that service on the horizon but I'm honestly just hoping I can at least earn trophies on the games I have installed on my ps3 and vita before time runs out lol
Rented Yakuza 1 on ps2 back in the day but never finished it, after hearing they'd all come to ps4 many years later, I played 0 and was hooked. It's definitely one of my favorite series currently.
I guess I can understand why they'd do that, the original being bought by mistake by an uninformed buyer etc. But I don't like some of the added scenes lol They do spoil things, at least on Majima's side.
I'd play it again if they released an expansion like Dark Arisen. Despite its flaws, Dragon's Dogma and Dragon's Dogma 2 have the potential to be the greatest games of all time, I wish Capcom would put some more effort into it and throw some decent writers in, add way more enemy variety and things to do outside fighting/exploring.
If it was a jointly made system by sony and valve to run both steam and Playstation libraries, i could see the appeal, but there's no reason to switch if you have a million trophies and games on your account or if you already just play on pc lol. Idk who this is supposed to be for.
@viccior Does it include the story and content from the original? Because I can't find that info. Everything points to it being a sequel, not an expanded rerelease. Kinda confused lol
I never bought into the boycott crap. Just sounded like wishful thinking from people who wanted the game to fail because some woke people worked on it lol. All I care about is if it's a good game, and it looks good to me.
I think the general concensus is if remakes or remasters are done right(retaining the look and feel while adding some qol features and improving performance, or adding new content to expand the original's IF it's the original devs). That's great, changing the atmosphere and sound or feel of a game is risky and downright disrespectful imo if it's not the original devs. Looking at you, bluepoint. Those mocapped animations and art style changes are embarrassing in Demon's Souls.
Better tech is a given at this point for better performance/visuals and backwards compatibility, but what I think Sony should focus on is keeping the UI simple and intuitive, I think it's pretty much perfect right now. Also curating the storefront and getting rid of the low effort AI plagiarized off of indie games slop.
Super 17 and og Dragon Ball characters are a given, maybe some henchmen characters from the movies (Bardock's crew, Bojack, Cooler etc.) and more stages. It really needs a ton more outfits and accessories from what I've seen, but that should honestly be free. Each character should have a few imo for this massive roster to shine.
As someone who hasn't played any dragon quest games other than 8, 9, and 11, I'm looking forward to any remasters that come out. Not a big fan of arbitrary censorship or changes though, hopefully they aren't a big deal.
Love suda51's work, still hoping for killer7 and no more heroes 1+2 getting ported to ps5. This will scratch the over the top and highly stylized hack and slash itch for me.
The founders and lead writers were totally ousted smh. After watching the trailer, the impression that they were capitalizing on Disco Elyisium's success was very apparent to me. Similar concept, different story, likely zero soul imo. Can't justify taking it seriously.
As long as it looks less stupid and is compatible with PS4/PS5 games I don't care. I honestly haven't used the disc drive once the entire time I've had a PS5 since 2022 lol
I plan to play them both someday, but as someone completely spoiled on the story, I think there was potential for 2 to be something really special, but the writing and characterization just wasn't quite there. It will probably remain a divisive story that will resonate with some people and not others unfortunately. It just didn't really do it for me.

I'm very much looking forward to a New Vegas Remaster, holy crap.
Re: Try the Spiritual Successor to Parasite Eve, Coming to PS5 in 2026
I get that it's a Parasite Eve inspired game, but doesn't it look and play a bit too similar?

Big promises, hope they do well.
Re: Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic Director Rubbishes 2030 Release Date Claims
I'm not getting any younger either, so I'd rather wait for the game to be finished and polished up instead of waiting for patches to fix it lol
Re: Tekken Director Katsuhiro Harada Announces Departure After 30 Years at Bandai Namco
Sounds like a good time for Bandai to make some HD collections of Tekken and SoulCalibur till the next thing lol
Re: Yakuza / Like a Dragon Celebrates 20th Anniversary, Kiryu Fans Won't Want to Miss It
Rented Yakuza 1 on ps2 back in the day but never finished it, after hearing they'd all come to ps4 many years later, I played 0 and was hooked. It's definitely one of my favorite series currently.

I'm all for game preservation, so this is a w in my book.
Re: Chrono Trigger Revival Hopes Have Been Reignited Yet Again
I'd rather get a Chrono Trigger rerelease over an FF9 remake tbh, not that I have anything against FF9.

Who wants it to be more westernized? They already botch the localization half the time lol
Re: Red Dead Redemption PS5 Another Subpar Re-Release from Rockstar
I never understood why PS5 versions of PS4 games had separate trophy sets. That wasn't an issue for previous gens. Pretty weird and confusing.
Re: PS5 Roguelike Let It Die: Inferno Uses a Crapload of Generative AI
I have mixed feelings about AI, but using it to fill in the artistic portions of your game doesn't sound very good lol

Re: PSA: The Original Yakuza 0 Will Be Delisted Forever When Director's Cut Drops on PS5
I guess I can understand why they'd do that, the original being bought by mistake by an uninformed buyer etc. But I don't like some of the added scenes lol They do spoil things, at least on Majima's side.
Re: SEGA Actually Admits Persona 5 Royal-Style Re-Releases May Result in Stunted Game Sales
Uh, yeah, they should stop doing that. Nobody wants to buy the same game twice, even if it has added content. That's what DLC should be for. Lol
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Sales Top 4 Million with Still No Sign of an Expansion
I'd play it again if they released an expansion like Dark Arisen.

Re: Yakuza 3 Remake Backlash Blows Up Again as Actor Guilty of Sexual Harassment Stars in New Trailer
Almost like they should just use voice actors instead of "real" ones. Og Tanimura was lame, guys lol. This guy also sounds like a dbag.

Oh no, we missed out on daily login battlepass slop from the people who made Demon's Souls look and sound generic? What a shame.
Re: PS6 Out 'in a Few Years' as Sony, AMD Discuss the Future of Games
Better tech is a given at this point for better performance/visuals and backwards compatibility, but what I think Sony should focus on is keeping the UI simple and intuitive, I think it's pretty much perfect right now. Also curating the storefront and getting rid of the low effort AI plagiarized off of indie games slop.
Re: Red Dead Redemption 2 Still Coming to PS5, It's Claimed
Was gonna go back and 100% it on PS4 so if none of that save progress or trophies are transferable then no lol
Re: Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero Tops 200 Characters, Teases Yet More DLC in 2026
Super 17 and og Dragon Ball characters are a given, maybe some henchmen characters from the movies (Bardock's crew, Bojack, Cooler etc.) and more stages.
