@JayCee-007 I am very late because I didn't realize you had commented, but I've thought about it more and changed my mind, I'm looking forward to the game. Bungie has consistently designed the best feeling FPS controls I've played, and although the trailer is CGI it's obviously representative of the tone, which I'm completely into
The gameplay is okay on the Spider-Man games, the combat really doesn't inspire me despite feeling very fluid, but I'm super excited for the story. MM wasn't great but it was a shorter and smaller can't, but I was actually surprised and impressed at how dark the first one was. Marvel obviously is removing some of the MCU barriers and allowing them to take some creative risks.
Never played the original but downed a couple collosi in this remake on PS4. One of the most beautiful atmospheric games I've ever played.. didn't know about this issue but I'm happy for the patch because I was thinking about picking it up again on PS5! Wish Sony would fund more games like this. Truly art.
As a Mortal Kombat fan since the early 90s, please be true! I love how Netherealm isn't afraid to experiment with the games then keep what works and change what doesn't iteration to iteration. I also hope Boon's teasing of a new Konquest mode is true - the Krypt seemed to be heading in that direction anyway
I hate that developers seem to equate throwing dozens or hundreds of millions of dollars at development with higher chance of success. Maybe it's true and I'm old and dumb, but the PS3 era had really good budget titles. I'm glad THQ Nordic are around - they must be successful considering how many old IPs they're reviving on an obvious budget that are faithfully done, fun, and affordable
@J2theEzzo it's been confirmed in another article that they do not. I recently finished the original FFVII on PS4 and the modifiers there didn't block the trophies either.
Never played the originals but have been itching for some 2D JRPGs. With the FF pixel remasters around the corner and a potential launch date announcement on this I'm going to be in heaven for the rest of the year
@Chaotic_Goat Sony made it very clear and it was widely reported that they do not want to add first party games at launch because it would "de-value" the games, so that's kind of on you for not researching.
That being said - I subscribed for the "retro" games and besides an odd few all they're doing is charging more money for the same games that were on PS Now, with a few decent extras that can be purchased separately. So maybe joke's on me
@NEStalgia what do you mean? It feels very much like another studio's take on Smash Bros.. battle passes are annoying but commonplace unfortunately, just like premium and.. extra premium currencies to unlock skins and characters. Normal for a free to play. What part is mobile that's different from other games with currency and unlockables? League of Legends?
@NEStalgia what are you talking about? It actually plays and runs pretty decently. It also looks pretty good for the type of game it is. Do you want Mortal Kombat graphics?
@TaMpA_bLaCk you're still talking about a modern version of a demo and mixing it up with the marketing jargon being used. In fact, it's probably even more affordable to release a demo now as it's essentially the full game with a timer, right? Back in the day they'd have to essentially make a mini game for people to try since they had no real way to timelock it. Saves carrying forward, trophy unlocks, etc are very much natural enhancements to the modern version of a demo.
@TaMpA_bLaCk the "trials" are an incredible insult to consumers and I'm not sure why people don't push back. Demos are advertising to convince you to purchase a full game. They should be free, not behind a paywall.
I really want to buy this, but the lack of reviews so close to launch tells me that Sony is worried about something with the controller. Will wait until they're a V2 that irons out whatever issues they are
Ugh I was actually going to start Bound by Flame next week. Last month I had just finished Mafia 1 and was ready to move onto Mafia 2. Little extra warning would be nice.
You've gotta be either crazy or have too much money to buy a video game controller that costs nearly half as much as the console itself, and over 3x the amount of a AAA game that spent years and years in development. Sony has been extremely greedy for the past several years in port much every aspect.
Really wanted retroactively added trophy support but obviously was always unrealistic. However, a big reason Xbox backwards vcompatibility is so amazing is because they were able to tweak a lot of games to really take advantage of the newer console power. If they do that then it's great, otherwise it's a massively missed opportunity

Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Director Ed Boon Can't Wait for You to See First PS5 Gameplay This Week
@Dange I am pretty sure it means a 2D plane like the last trilogy was. 3D would be more like Tekken or the PS2-era games.
