The outrage was a bit ridiculous for sure. Was I planning to play a little SF6? Sure but I just continued my game in Persona 3 instead.

I don't know Gamestop. My digital copy of Persona 3 Reload worked just fine.😄

Such a damn shame. Resistance was a fantastic series. I think the reason 3 didn't sell as well as 1 and 2 is because they went away from the chaotic 40-60 player multiplayer matches to a more frankly boring COD clone style of only like 16 or so.

I remember playing the multiplayer beta and seeing they turned the Auger into a killstreak as well as having a martyrdom-like perk where Leapers would spawn out of a player who died. It had me thinking "They really just CODed my Resistance up!" It just didn't have the same unique feel Fall of Man and 2 did.

They also took out the unique 8 player co-op mode 2 had. It was awesome! Basically felt like a small Destiny raid before Destiny raids were a thing.

The single player was fantastic though on 3. My favorite of the series probably. Unfortunately that just wasn't enough to get people excited enough to buy it. I can see why we never got 4 but damn do I wish we could anyway. Resistance will always have a special place in my gamer heart as that was really the first series I ever got into for online multiplayer.

It's down for me at the moment but I can still play offline thankfully. Persona 3 it is!

I personally wouldn't buy one as I just don't like that method for gaming but I don't see any harm in allowing it to be supported if the devs want to use it. In regards to game balance with shooters for example, it is a bit complicated. I know cross play is a thing more games are making optional so as to not have pad users going up against PC players specifically for this reason. (Though avoiding cheaters is another)

If this would become a thing in console then they need to be able to seperate based on the user's input method as opposed to hardware. I'm no game designer but I would imagine that would be pretty difficult to do.

I'll be there for both! I loved Hogwarts Legacy and could see the sequel being even better. If they improve on the few issues the original had we could be looking at an all-time great!

Sounds good to me. I know people are skeptical after Suicide Squad which is fair. However, I have hope for them yet. They made a mistake with Suicide Squad. Mistakes happen but everyone deserves a second chance.

And just because the original creators aren't working there anymore doesn't mean new talent can't rise to the occasion. It's happened before and could happen again here.

And even if it is bad, it's not like the older games are going anywhere so what do we got to lose?

Nice. AC actually has some really good stuff in some of their comic book runs. AC The Fall in particular is a favorite of mine. I'll definitely give this a read whenever it's available.

Agreed. I love DMC3. It's easily one of my favorites of all time and my favorite PS2 game. The amount of hours I've put into it at this point across all the versions I've played has to number in the thousands!😄

Tried the demo and really enjoyed it. I'll be playing later in the month.

Usually I can finish a big RPG in a little more than a month though it obviously fluctuates depending on the amount of time I have. I'm about 3/4s or so through Persona 3 Reload and I started that around the middle of December so it's taken a bit longer than normal due to the holidays and whatnot.

Basically I just take my time and don't think about it really. It's not like the next RPG I play is going anywhere!😄

DMC3 still holds up very well so I would prefer a DMC1 remake as the combat for that one does feel a bit dated by today's standards.

That said, Virgil doesn't really have many lines in DMC1 outside of like one very small flashback sentence from when him and Dante were kids. So if this is a remake I would bet that it's more likely to be DMC3.

Honestly I'm fine with just more DMC in general though. It's the peak of action combat for me.

He's joking right!? He must be joking! Ha! Ha! Good one Wilson!...

Please be joking.🙏

Very excited to jump in next week. I need to finish P3 Reload before then!

Is the world just out to get this game or something?

Bad Company 2 was the last Battlefield I enjoyed so needless to say I'm going to need some serious convincing to be excited about anything Battlefield related. I wish them well though.

Sad to see. I really enjoyed my time with it personally. I even think gameplay-wise I prefer it to Smash Bros slightly. It certainly had much better online support than Smash. Multiversus had its issues but overall this was a pretty damn solid platform fighter that just couldn't keep up with the demands of its audience.

It put Player First on my radar though at least. I'm interested to see where the studio goes from here.

I'd love for this to be a hint that something, anything Bloodborne related is coming... but I'm not holding my breath sadly. Would love to be wrong though!

I've never clicked with R* games in the past when it comes to multiplayer so I wouldn't really mind. I can't see them doing this at launch though either. While there are many that are also only interested in the single player content, having the multiplayer included increases the chance that an originally single player only player might give it a try and end up sticking with it.

Sure you could sell multiplayer separately for cheaper but just about everyone is willing to pay $70 (or more depending on who you ask) anyway so why bother?

Would be great to get Sleeping Dogs back. Such a fantastic game. The movie could be a fun time as well but a sequel would really get me excited.

While 60 is certainly preferred and should be the target for most games these days, I can still do a stable 30 just fine. The tech that is going into GTA6 pretty much guaranteed it wasn't going to be 60 so I'm not really expecting it anyway.

Plus I don't play R* games online or anything and GTA isn't really a game that relies on pinpoint accuracy or reaction speed. So I'm fine with 30 for it.

I liked Beyond well enough at the time although I haven't played it since it first released on PS3. I still need to get around to playing Detroit Become Human at some point but I absolutely love Heavy Rain. A stone cold PS3 classic in my eyes!

I could see Beyond translated to a show pretty well actually. In fact better than the game since it did quite literally have the most blatant example of "plot armor" ever seen. 😄

I'm not even a Dragon Age fan really but I bought a copy of Veilguard just to support the studio in the hopes that we get the next Mass Effect. I love the series that much.

Might I have been foolish? Probably if I'm being honest with myself. Regardless I'll continue to hold out hope for Mass Effect to succeed. I'll gladly don the N7 armor once again when the time comes.

Good for them! The game is looking really good from all that has been shown. Great to see turn-based RPGs getting more and more popular again.

I like GTA but I don't hold it in such high regard that I'd pay $100 for it. I would wait for a sale for sure. They'll probably just do the different editions approach and call it a day.

The amount of pressure on AC Shadows is borderline unfair. That said though, I think it's going to deliver. The game is looking really great!

It's sad to see these layoffs but let's face it. Ubisoft does employ a lot of people. It was bound to happen sooner or later. They just simply have too many people to make a profitable business. Hopefully these folks can land on their feet wherever they go from here.

I wouldn't say I'm highly anticipating her as I don't really like SNK games but I'll admit she does look fun to play. Much more interested in playing as her than I ever was with Terry or Bison. I got plenty of rental character tokens to burn so I might as well give her a try.

I'm mostly just happy we are one step closer to a hopefully more appealing selection of characters for season 3 as none of the characters in season 2 really speak to me personally.

It's an odd way to look at it for sure. Like it or not exclusive games are the main thing that set consoles apart from each other. Fancy features here and there are nice to have but to say that will be the main selling point? I really doubt that will work out for them.

I didn't buy a PS5 for the dualsense features or graphical prowess. I bought it because it gives me access to the most games that I would be interested in playing. It's as simple as that really.

That's too bad. Censorship never makes sense to me. Hopefully for those interested they can import our something to get around it.

I hope it's true! I never played it but I've always wanted to.

Oh thank goodness the purple mist of Sigma 2 is gone. Will definitely be picking this up!

Definitely playing this one right away. Looking really fantastic and unique. Looking forward to it!

Wow! Looks fantastic! NG4 will definitely be one to watch this year.

I really hope this game blows people away after all the nonsense leading up to launch. I can't wait to play Shadows!

I'm really looking forward to this! I don't know if I can think of another game that I'm rooting for more at the moment. Knock it out of the park Ubi!

I'd put right in line with Galaxy 1 and 2 which were the best 3D Mario games. Definitely liked it better than Odyssey myself.

Confusion is the word that comes to mind for me. I mean Bluepoint...expert remake/remaster studio...making a live service GOW? Such an odd choice. I must admit I'm curious just what the heck they had in mind with it.

I wonder if there were staff at Bluepoint who were like "Okay! We are a 1st party Playstation studio! So what are we making 1st?...what's that?...a live service modern GOW game?...ummm...sure I guess..."

Overall just a truly baffling story.

Good for Ted. Needless to say he has had a heck of a run in the industry so I wish him a well earned retirement and look forward to where Insomniac goes from here.

Quite looking forward to this. I had a blast with 2k23. Still a shame they can't get the Masters but at least they got the other majors covered.

I don't really care how far away it is. As long as the quality is there then I can wait for however long it takes.

Poor Bend studio has had such a rough time lately. They just can't seem to catch a break right now. Hopefully they come back stronger than ever.

I like GTA but for $100? Not a chance. I'm not that big of a fan. The only series that could potentially get me to pay that price as a start would probably be Persona and even then I'd have to think about it.

I hope this game lives up to people's expectations after all this time.

I finally got into VR last month but I went with the Quest 3 instead. It just has better exclusives (Batman is fantastic), backwards compatibility (big miss on PSVR2's part there), and it's portable which is very nice for VR.

A God of War live service game? Seriously? From either Bend or Bluepoint? What are we doing? Just so much wasted time, money, and talent.

@Mikey856
Exactly! The PS3 has so many games that I think people would love to see come back. Motorstorm, Killzone, Resistance, the PS3 Ratchet & Clank games, Infamous 1&2, Folklore, Sly 4...I'd be all over all of these!

I'm not wholeheartedly against remasters/remakes. I just would prefer they pick better choices than the ones they have chosen. I look for three main points when considering buying one of these.

1. Is the game already easily available on modern platforms?
2. Does it play well by today's standards?
3. Has it been long enough to really make a difference?

That's been the problem I've had with Playstation's remakes/remasters this generation. Horizon 1, TLOU1, Uncharted 4, Until Dawn...all games that fitted none of these criteria.

But on the flip side you got something like Persona 3 Reload recently. That one fit all of these criteria pretty much. And so? I happily supported it.

It's really not that complicated. If it's a game that makes sense to receive the remake/remaster treatment then I'm cool with it. If they are looking for ideas? Hey! There are plenty of choices from the PS3 generation! Look there!😃

He pretty much nailed it on every front. I would say the memory cards were the main reason though. There was some solid 1st party software on it even if it was abandoned after a couple years. Those memory cards though... that was a problem that plagued the system for its entire life cycle.

I still love the Vita though. It's still my favorite handheld I ever bought. I personally preferred the separation of game libraries for handheld and home console. I liked having games developed with portability in mind. Just don't get that anymore with consoles like the Switch.

I'll probably skip the demo since I'm playing through P3 Reload at the moment and I'm not totally sure I'll have it finished by then. Very much looking forward to Daybreak 2 though!

I love Black Flag but I would have preferred they remake AC1 instead of they were going to do a remake.

Still, I won't say no to more AC.
