I agree, I feel like it would have been really popular had it been sensibly priced. But the original story when it was cancelled was Sony gave considerable weight to Bungie's opinions that they should shut it down, iirc. No doubt we are missing a lot of information but I'm not convinced they made the right decision.
We will never know of course. They did not expect Helldivers 2 to have the success it did.
Congrats on platting the best psvr game. Happy to say I got the platinum here as well. What a brilliant game. You just knew it was going to be something special after playing the truly excellent Astro bot demo the headset comes with.
I don't think anyone saw this one coming, sad times. Surprised they weren't given Bloodborne to remake or something similar, considering their experience. Very strange.
@LifeGirl I suspect you're right. It's a shame it wasn't more popular as it was well made and excellent fun. Still great news this is no longer locked to the PS3.
If I was looking for a local co-op game, I'd check the product page and probably the trailer. For me, both point to the whole game being co-op. I would be disappointed if I purchased it with that in mind. If that makes me entitled in your eyes, so be it.
You usually show a lot more empathy in your comments, I'm a bit surprised by this one. Do you think Sony should ignore any feedback on what's been raised here?
I completely side with those expecting refunds here. Don't advertise it as 2 player co-op game if you're going to block people playing it that way from the start. It's a false equivalence comparing this to unlocking characters, sorry to be blunt.
An amusing game but I didn't take any joy in the platinum on this one. When it's this easy, it does feel rather pointless.
I guess making a platinum trophy fun and enjoyable to obtain is a skill in itself.
Definitely my favourite Souls game. After they made the excellent Demon's Souls remake a launch ps5 game, doing the same with Bloodborne for ps6 would be wonderful. Fingers crossed.
Don't get your hopes up. The original is great but it sounds like they have done a very poor job here. Be prepared for what looks like ai slop redoing the artwork, lots of bugs and plenty of other evidence it has been rushed, much to its detriment.
I can understand why open world games are so enticing for so many. I spent a lot of time playing Fallout 3 and Oblivion, lots of memorable moments in those games and it felt like an adventure. I didn't experience that in Fallout 4 though. Improved graphics but no real soul to it. It just didn't capture my imagination, however much I wanted it to. But plenty of people who loved it, so it must have done something right.
I love Furi, such a great game. I listen to the soundtrack all the time, easily one of the top video game soundtracks ever. I think they need a bigger budget to do a solid adaption but I wish them the best and hopefully they have fun making this.
Great to see this game still receiving the love and appreciation it deserves. I'm still waiting for Konami to remaster the original Vandal Hearts though. Maybe one day.
@KidRisky No problem. There's a reddit thread from 4 months ago that recommends games that still work. Not sure if I'm OK to share links but I'll risk it here. This is the thread.
I used the app to buy the games, no idea if that makes any difference. I'll probably buy some more at some point, I've popped skullgirls 2nd encore on my wishlist as that's had great reviews. Hope the above helps.
@KidRisky
It's brilliant to have some 'new' games for my vita, I'm loving it. Be careful though, many vita games have been delisted over the years, so it's worth carefully researching if certain crossbuy games will still be added to your vita download list before buying.
If I purchase Twin Breaker, can I download it to the vita? I thought the days of buying games for the vita were finished. Would be great if there is a work around here.
The first two games were fantastic, loved them. Will always have fond memories of those games and the community that existed for it. Was great being a part of it.
I didn't think much of Infinite, it was ok but very overrated. I appreciate these things are subjective and I'm happy for those who enjoyed it more than I did. Still waiting for the Bioshock game that was promised for the Vita!
@breakneck Interesting, I wasn't aware, I haven't played those games. Thanks. Also you have Sports games that make money from in game advertising on billboards such as Fifa, which has been doing that since 1994.
I guess that explains why the latest protagonist is wearing branded trainers while piloting a branded space ship. Curious on the financial agreement there and how much it will help fund the project.
Those classic Tomb Raider games take quite a bit of skill and perseverance to play through. Very impressive for someone not into video games. Excellent choice of game series though of course. Great read, thanks for sharing.
Agreed, Vandal Hearts is an easy 10. Would snap that up if Konami re-released it on PS5. Such a brilliant game. PS1 remains my favourite console, so many brilliant classics.

Re: LittleBigPlanet Dev's Next PS5 Game Could Have Open World Aspects
I do love Media Molecule games, especially the first two Littlebigplanet games. Absolutely wonderful. Excited to see what they do next.
Re: Helldivers 2 x Warhammer 40K Is a Match Made in Heaven
With the bugs feeling similar to Tyranids and the bots somewhat like Necrons, it makes sense. Fun mix for avid 40k fans.
Re: 'There's Truth to It': Sony 'Considering' Bringing Back Your Fave Franchises on PS5
I'd love another proper Littlebigplanet game. And more PixelJunk games, those are great fun. Maybe one day we will see more Bloodborne as well.
Re: Castlevania: Belmont's Curse Is Shaping Up to Be a Bloody Brilliant Series Revival on PS5

Re: Forgotten PSP Strategy Spin-Off Gets Expanded PS5, PS4 Revival This June
I was curious but that's possibly the worst video game trailer I've ever seen.

Re: The Original Space Invaders Blasts onto PS5, PS4 on Xmas Day
A bit too expensive, I think. Still, always pleased that the option is there to play a classic on a modern system.
Re: Tekken Mega Music Mix Dropped by Series Boss Harada, and It's 30 Years of Pure Nostalgia
That's great, looking forward to listening to the full track. My favourite soundtracks were from Tekken 3 but Tekken 2 had some nice ones as well.

PS1 remains my favourite console, so many brilliant classics.
