Zero tolerance is definitely the best approach for this.

I won't be touching these demos since I always like to wait for the full release with Trails games.

Two things here. 1, for the love of gaming please stop announcing your games so flipp'n early. It doesn't help anyone, and only puts even more pressure on the dev team to crunch and get the game out as soon as possible. And 2, stop the damn crunch! It's unhealthy for the dev team and everyone involved. The more I hear about that crap, the less interest I have in a game.

Ace Combat 8 babyyyy!

Wasn't able to vote since my PS5 game of the year (Trails Through Daybreak II) wasn't listed. womp womp

It will always be in the poor to awful range for me simply for how disrespectful they are to the awards and winners. The gaming industry still doesn't have a proper awards program that treats the industry, and the people who work in it, with respect.

@Kienda But John Romero is a Miyamoto/Kojima level figure...

@Kienda What gamer doesn't know who John Romero is!? But yes, they should at least mention that he is a co-creator of Doom in the article.

Sad to see a studio close, but they only have their colleagues who used the gen AI to blame. Anyone trying to put blame on "cancel culture" and the people who rightfully called this out is just being disingenuous. Put your disgust in the right place.

And yes of course people shouldn't go to extreme lengths like death threats and harassing individuals at the company. 100% that is a huge heck no. But that's not why the studio had to close.

Would love to see Capcom take a crack at Dead Space, but I'm sure they would only want to devote resources to Resident Evil. Honestly not sure who else I'd trust with the series though.

Haha, love to see it!

I've had this game on my Steam Deck for some time now, and it is quite fun! It's no Sega Rally though, as it has more jank than I'd like.

@Slayer25c Damn, insulting much?

I said this elsewhere, but I'll say it here as well. Unfortunately, this isn't surprising. Shovel Knight suffered from the usual Kickstarter scope creep bloat, where all the stretch goals forced them to work on that game for ages before really starting anything new. And you can't survive on one game and its expansions forever. People can only buy and re-buy Shovel Knight so many times. And now Mina is taking forever to launch as well.

I'd rather someone else handle it honestly. Delta's performance is abysmal, making the old HD remaster the better experience.

This is absolutely the case. With Falcom being the latest offender with Ys X Proud Nordics. I was not happy when they announced it only a few weeks after the original game launched here in the west. I had only just finished the game two days before they announced Proud Nordics. I 100% would have waited for the upgraded version had I known they were going to pull that. They hadn't done that with any previous Ys games, so I had no idea it would happen this time. Let's just say that I won't be buying the next Ys game on day one this time. Or even year one for that matter.

2029 at the earliest for a PS6 for me. Would prefer 2030 for the launch. With diminishing returns for new consoles these days, the PS5 is just getting started as far as I'm concerned.

Didn't they pitch saving the project to the publisher though? I heard that in the latest What Happened? video.

Definitely getting Neon Inferno. R-Type Delta is incredible, but I already have the PS1 version, so no need to get that one on my end.

This is an actual god-like sequel. The first game is great, the sequel is a masterpiece.

No HDR is shocking. Tetris Effect had HDR even on the PS4, and it was a defining feature of the game's visuals.

Either way, Lumines just isn't for me. I bought the original on the PSP way back when it launched, and again on my Switch. But I just can't get into the game. It just isn't a very fun puzzle game in my opinion. Especially compared to Tetris and Puzzle League/Panel de Pon.

Not even remotely surprising unfortunately. With 3 of the 5 being based on movie properties, it shows that they still aren't ready to consider video games as art.

Oof. Expect some F'd up SquareEnix games in the future then. 😬

@get2sammyb Needing to set the display options for every single game in every single mode. Including online, which only allows you to set it after an online match starts—forcing you to scramble into the options menu and fix it before the round starts. Set it for offline arcade mode? Great!...now do it again for offline training. And again for offline fatality training. And then repeat alllll of that for every single game in the collection. It's insane that issues like that were overlooked, not only by the developers, but also by reviewers.

It is horrendous. I haven't touched it since launch night, and won't until they fix it. The input lag makes the games feel "sticky" and unresponsive. The online audio issues made me mute the game during the handful of matches I tried (which took forever to get matched up with). You have to set your display options for every game in every mode. Including online where you can't change it until after you've entered a match with someone online where you have to scramble to fix it before the match starts. Just atrocious. I was stunned by the review scores I've seen for it after playing it myself.

@aj21009 Agreed. I hate Burnout Paradise. The open world format ruins Burnout. Give me Burnout 3 or Burnout Revenge any day.

Happy? Heck no. I doubt anyone is actually happy to pay it. The biggest scam in gaming has always been having to pay to play your games online on consoles. We pay only because they force us to, not because we're "happy" to do it.

Yeah, online was severely broken in my experience yesterday. I had to mute the audio, because the audio stuttering was unbearable. And the input lag was atrocious. This should not have released in this state.

Need to see how well this is implemented before I consider buying the game. I was excited for it when it was announced, because I love MGS3, but I specifically did not buy it when it released in such a bad state.

I remember when everyone was happy for the Hi-Fi Rush devs when they were "saved" by this company. Well that didn't last long...

Rest in peace legend.

Considering the problems I had with Rebirth, I find that highly unlikely.

@CutchuSlow What a strange comment. They don't this game on consoles. They want a good Dissidia game on consoles.

Forever avoid Forever Entertainment. It's the only way to happiness.

I'm making my way through Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter. What a great remake! I played through the original back in the day on my PSTV/Vita TV.

@CielloArc Not even close. Animal Crossing has always had a very distinct art style for its characters.

Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter for sure. And it isn't even close!

Really sad to see. Xbox was absolutely massive during the 360 era. And they have never been able to recover from the damage done during the disastrous lead up to the Xbox One. Really makes you wonder what could have been if that didn't happen.

Wow, just how unoptimized is this game? With visuals that are clearly not pushing any limits, this should be an easy 120fps game on PS5. I'm currently playing Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, and it easily runs at 120fps on my PS5 Pro.

I can't even remember the last EA game that I bought/played, so it'll be very easy for me to never touch any of their games going forward. I miss the old days of EA, when they made incredible games like Road Rash on the Genesis and 3DO.

Genuinely one of the most tone deaf, bone headed decisions that Capcom's e-sports division has ever made. Absolutely wild. I have always watched this event, but I will not be watching it this time around. This is Street Fighter x Tekken levels of Crapcom idiocy.

It's important to understand that while Clap Hanz did indeed make most of the Everybody's Golf games, it is actually not the original developer. That would be Camelot Software Planning.

I'd be interested if it wasn't free-to-play. That alone instantly killed any and all interest I had in it.

@brakeman90 Just depends on the settings. In handheld mode at 720p, it's okay, but it does drop some frames (targeting 60fps). I've tried it in docked mode as well at higher resolutions to test it, and it definitely gets hit pretty hard even at resolutions like 900p. That's with visuals settings at their lowest.

Though I have missed a few updates, and it's possible that it has improved since I last played it.

Dang, do I get it on Xbox now, or wait for PS5 since it'll likely get some Pro upgrades.

Been playing this one on my Steam Deck throughout the year, and it's great. Might double dip on this one.

Too many games to play and so little time! I really want to play this one, but I'm still making my way through Silksong, and then have Trails in the Sky to play after that.

There absolutely is a problem with developers releasing worse versions on the Pro. But there are also a ton of games that benefit from it. I personally haven't played one of the games with issues (just games that don't appeal to me), so it hasn't been an issue on my end thankfully.

I have long since stopped caring about how realistic games can look. Just give me better frame rates. Like Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter looks amazing while also running at 120fps. Give me great art direction with great performance.

It's an amazing remake that fixes pretty much all the issues I had with the original (which was also great in its own right). The Trails series is easily my favorite modern RPG series after Xenoblade. And no RPG series does world building as well as Trails.
