I got it, but mainly because I wanted a 2nd PS5. So might as well pay $250 more for the pro. Excited to see Rebirth and other existing and future games on it.
4 games in the span of about 2-3 weeks I'm excited for that couldn't be more different. Dragon Age, new playthrough of Stardew Valley 1.6, Planet Coaster 2, and Path of Exile 2. Been a long time since I've had a jam packed November like that.
400 million and doesn't even include the price of the studio? I always assume 100 million was low. 8 years (albeit not in full production) with a giant staff in an expensive place to live/work. But that's astounding
At this point a Sony remaster (not being Bloodborne) has essentially become a meme. I hope they lean into it. If Concord relaunches they should call it Concord Remastered!
For a full priced non Mario 3d platformer to do well is so important to the industry. My friends list is just full of Astro Bot all last week. I'm sure when the dust settles and the numbers come out it'll have very respectable launch.
Please hurry up and release this so you can work on DokeV. Made the mistake of showing my kids that trailer 3 years ago to hype them up and they ask me alllll the time when it comes out.
I deserve a discount after falling for their $600 PSVR2 scam. Oof $780 for a PS5 and disc drive to do what? Make PS4 games like tlou2 and got run better?
Dipped my toes in vampire Survivors on gamepass at launch and knew it was special but resisted the urge for the inevitable PS5 port. This game is sooooo special. 10/10 for sure. Put in about 12 hours already and have 102 trophies accumulated (for only 38% completed). Between finally playing this, Balatro, and Hades 2 my roguelike itch has been scratched many times this year.
Had my eye on this one since it was announced. Looks almost too good to be true. Would love some competition in this genre where you don't need to purchase 200 DLC packs to get a complete game.
Crazy that all these third party devs port their games to PSVR2. But Sony has no interest in reviving their classic VR1 games. Still no Astrobot Rescue Mission, Wipeout Omega Collection, Blood and Truth etc.
After battling with the terrible PlayStation direct website I finally secured one after 5 hours. Nothing like waiting in line for 2 hours, adding to your cart and then being unable to enter my Credit Card info because the text box doesn't open.
Truly amazing how popular this controller is. $80 and probably will sell better than a lot of AAA releases.
The combination of the fact that Sony does little to no moderation when allowing games on their platform and the fact that they don't allow refunds is going to haunt them someday.
Love stories like this. Solo Dev working after hours on a game. Expects to sell maybe a few thousand copies and go back to his IT job but instantly becomes a millionaire. Such a well deserved achievement for one of a truly unique game.
This seems inline with my expectations. Didn't see anything that elevated the bar up to Cat Quest 2 standards. Still excited and already preordered it.
Its not really Yakuza if you don't make plenty of time for Pocket Circuit, batting cages, Mahjong, Shogi, Dancing, and filming a music video with Michael Jackson.
Reminds me of FFXV. Game announced a decade ago, only to have a gigantic announcement presentation for their release date, which was inevitably delayed again.
Oh nice. Honestly might check this out in between now and Planet Coaster 2. Feel burned with the broken Parkitect port and been having the theme park itch since.
It's kind of a blessing in disguise that I need to replace my controller every few months due to stick drift so I can justify the purchase everytime a new one comes out. This looks fire!
Does this genre of games have a name yet? I'm gonna dub it "Kids beg their parents to buy it cause it's sooooo funny and then stop playing it after 5 minutes Game"

Re: Date the Girls from Dead or Alive in Venus Vacation Prism for PS5, PS4
Should make a PSVR 2 version and call it the Ultimate Cringe Edition.
Re: Talking Point: What Was Your Favourite PS5 Game from State of Play September 2024?
Ghost and soul reaver for me. Would have voted for VR Hitman. After the poor Quest port of Hitman 3, Im excited for a hitman VR game on PSVR2
Re: Ubisoft Board Orders Internal Investigation and Review into Company's Financial Woes
Wild to think you need 19,000 employees to type Ctrl C and Ctrl V a bunch of times to create their games.
Re: Your Horizon Zero Dawn PS4 Progress Will Transition to PS5 Remaster
All the trophy addicts will pay $10 just to autopop and move on.
Re: Superb Strategy RPG Unicorn Overlord Tops 1 Million Sales
Great to see a company take a risk and work out. This game should have a long tail. I'm a big Vanillaware fan and I still haven't bought it yet

Re: Two Point Museum Will Hold Its Grand Opening in March 2025 on PS5
This is sooner than I thought. Obsessed with the Two Point games and this concept looks great so far.
Re: God of War Ragnarok PC Lets You Reduce Puzzle Hints, Option Also Coming to PS5, PS4 Soon
Much needed and waaaaay too late. I remember times I'm getting hints of a puzzle before I even realize I have a puzzle to solve
Re: Mini Review: Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars Reforged (PS5) - Wonderful Remaster of One of the Best Adventure Games of All Time
I see what you did there with that sub title. That goat puzzle still haunts my childhood.
Re: PS5's Astro Bot the USA's Second Best-Selling Game in Its First Week
For a full priced non Mario 3d platformer to do well is so important to the industry. My friends list is just full of Astro Bot all last week. I'm sure when the dust settles and the numbers come out it'll have very respectable launch.
Re: Blizzard Reportedly Made $150 Million in Diablo 4 Microtransactions
Dark patterns work. Loved seeing montages of streamers accidently purchasing season passes due to this practice.
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows' Japan Looks Stunning in New Open World Showcase
Come for the culture war stay for whatever the hell that horse animation was. Did feudal Japan horses have the ability to glide?
Re: Wow, PS5 Open Worlder Crimson Desert Gets 50 Whole Minutes of Gorgeous 4K Gameplay
Please hurry up and release this so you can work on DokeV. Made the mistake of showing my kids that trailer 3 years ago to hype them up and they ask me alllll the time when it comes out.
Re: How to Pre-Order PS5 Pro
Conversions are all over the place. So disc drive is $20 less but the vertical stand is $5 more?!?!?
Re: PS5 Pro Announced, Costs $700 and Out in November
I deserve a discount after falling for their $600 PSVR2 scam. Oof $780 for a PS5 and disc drive to do what? Make PS4 games like tlou2 and got run better?
Re: Sony Increases PS5 Controller Prices in US, Europe, and More
Gotta make up money after burning 9 figures with Concord.
Still would like a controller option without a speaker, microphone etc.
Re: Days Gone Director Roasts 'Small Game' Astro Bot PS5 for Deacon St John Cameo
If it makes him feel any better, not many of us would recognize the character.
Re: Gallery: Astro Bot Has the Best PS5 Controller Design Yet
Waiting for my delivery all day. Don't wanna start the game without this controller.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Vampire Survivors?
One of the best games in the past few years for only $5. Clearly a 10.
Re: Concord PS5, PC Scalpers Attempt to Cash In on 'Rare Collector's Item'
I don't have a single physical PS5 game, but I even considered buying a physical copy of Concord after the news yesterday.
Re: Mini Review: Vampire Survivors (PS5) - Indie Icon Should Come with a Health Warning

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 544
Absolutely addicted to Vampire Survivors and I don't see that ending anytime soon.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Star Wars Outlaws?
Too many amazing games to play to waste my time on unpolished and uninspired games such as this.
Re: Let the Astro Bot PS5 Launch Trailer Tide You Over Until Release
Predicting this game gets the first 11/10 in PushSquare history.

Monkey paw at it again. Really hoping it comes to PS5 at launch
Re: Photorealistic The Sims Rival inZOI Will Eventually Settle on PS5
Had my eye on this one since it was announced. Looks almost too good to be true. Would love some competition in this genre where you don't need to purchase 200 DLC packs to get a complete game.
Re: Until Dawn PS5 Is Priced at $60 / £60
Crazy that a game I bought eight years ago for $10 is now going to be $60. And honestly somehow looks worse than I remember.
Re: Arizona Sunshine Remake Resurrects the Zombie Shooter on PSVR2 This October
Crazy that all these third party devs port their games to PSVR2. But Sony has no interest in reviving their classic VR1 games. Still no Astrobot Rescue Mission, Wipeout Omega Collection, Blood and Truth etc.
Re: Poll: Rate Your Favourite PS5 Roguelike Games
Hades and Balatro. Returnal is a great game, but it's roguelike elements were it's weakest part.
Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard Release Date Dropping Tomorrow, BioWare Promises Loads of Gameplay Details
Excited for the announcement of a 2024 release date which will inevitably lead to an announcement of it being delayed into 2025.
Re: SEGA Announces Two Point Museum for PS5

@Almost_Ghostly Oops. I meant four. We aren't known for our math skills in the USA.

Re: Best Borderlands Games
Any game with Handsome Jack > any game without.
Re: Smash Hit Roguelike Balatro Has Sold Over 2 Million Copies, Free Major Update Incoming

Re: Cat Quest 3 (PS5) - Fun, Seafaring RPG Doesn't Quite Match Its Pawesome Predecessor
This seems inline with my expectations. Didn't see anything that elevated the bar up to Cat Quest 2 standards. Still excited and already preordered it.
Re: Yakuza Wars May Be the 'Surprising' New Game from RGG Studio
My mind went to an RTS like Halo Wars. Could be cool treating it like your clan claiming more turf.
Re: Like a Dragon: Yakuza Show Won't Have Time for Karaoke, But Singing 'May Come Eventually'
Its not really Yakuza if you don't make plenty of time for Pocket Circuit, batting cages, Mahjong, Shogi, Dancing, and filming a music video with Michael Jackson.

Re: Deals: Sony Goes for the Jugular with Humongous PS5, PSVR2 Discounts in USA
I didn't realize the digital edition slim is more expensive at its regular price than the original digital edition at launch.
Re: Yakuza / Like a Dragon Starter Packs Up on PS Store Now, for New Players Ahead of Amazon TV Show
Good idea, but when most of the older games are regularly on sale for $5, a bundle like this kinda defeats the purpose for me.
Re: Two Years Later, Blizzard Ponders a Return to 6v6 Overwatch
Overwatch Classic battle pass gonna do gangbusters. 6v6, Tracers old victory pose, and 10x the lootboxes
