@LiamCroft Come on now, you could just put an update bit like you would do for any other article, what makes this so special? You may as well have wiped them with the redirect since the content is no longer accessible.

Also, just going to put here that I realise this comment will most likely be removed shortly after publication because it will most likely fall under the banner that should go through contact form...

Edit: Also, despite the language in my response I am not trying to say you are personally responsible for the decision Liam, so sorry if I come of as accusatory towards you, it is not my intent. But the decision is definitely questionable.

I thought I heard something about this being controversial; I remember reading these articles about the game published here, although curiously they have disappeared rather quick like. Totally not suspicious at all, or bad optics.

Also:

"The remake will not feature the popular Factions multiplayer, however I do find it understandable as it's still available via the PS4 remaster..."

...which you should probably just buy for the charming price of £16, rather than wait for a £70 release with slightly prettier visuals.

I'll be honest, I just read it as marketing since they are coming to Gamepass and Microsoft announcing this in the fancy-pants show, rather than native versions being built specifically for next gen, hence PS4 only for P3 and P4 as they will be playable on PS5 via bc anyway. To be fair, the graphic is from Atlus rather than Microsoft, but wouldn't surprise me if that is the case. The graphic itself has confused many people since P4G doesn't say Steam, making people who are unaware think it is not coming; they don't realise that Steam already has P4G.

But then again, I am still holding out for Switch versions.

Is it me, or have they made Joel smaller in the box-art?

I'd personally want to buy them separately outside of PS Plus, but that's the way of the world I guess.

That aside, this looks like a pretty decent wish list in this article.

Prior to announcement, never subscribed.

After announcement, still not subscribing.

Online is still not worth more money on top of ISP to play (applies to MS and Nintendo as well)

I really don't get Atlus sometimes. Since I cannot get on Switch, I will most likely pick up on PS4.

What the heck?

At least let Sonic 2 come out first for the love of heck.

I guess they announced this for the 3 and Knuckles meme.

@johncalmc Regarding Dominos, it's the Garlic and Herb dip. That stuff cannot be beaten. More in general, Dominos is just guilty pleasure food. =)

Now on-topic. Cool for the Switch. I still feel like the library leaves a lot to be desired as it is mostly Pokemon and Wii U ports from my perspective that makes it stand, but quite a few games have come out on it which I can easily recommend; Metroid Dread being the latest.

This thing never works for me. Will take a look in a bit, though I can't remember what I played last year.

@Ashina They have re-evaluated; they are no longer partners, but the boss. But yeah, companies love playing easy PR rather than doing anything meaningful.

@JJ2 Careful now, or you will end up like Alduin. He was basically saying the same thing... now to wait for my comment to be removed as we-

Don't suppose online can be free all the time now can it?

Yeah, I didn't think so. I don't know, you always supposed to be grateful for the free weekends, but realistically, because of how last minute they are announced, it is a pain to take advantage off as you somehow have to make room not only in your schedule, but in your friends as well for the limited time so you can actually play online together. Sure you can play with randoms, but where is the fun in that?

My relationship with trophies is wierd. I don't see the point in going for easy "30 minute" platinums as they feel worthless to me. I also don't feel like going for platinums for some games as I feel like the requirements are out of my skill range or they are too many bloat trophies with arbitrary requirements.

That said, when I feel like going for a platinum, I will binge the game until I have the platinum, or am very close to it. Each platinum I have, whether easy or hard is for a game which had the greatest impacts on me for one reason or another. Even on games where I am very close to getting the platinum, I may start a new game, but I guarantee you; I will be back to finish the job... looking at you Yakuza 0, with your ******* dumb batting cage completion list task of winning 5 million yen.

Just going to echo above comments that I am more than happy for SMT to come to other platforms as soon as mainline Persona games come to Nintendo platforms. It is only fair. =)

"If you’ve yet to download it and give it a try, then our question to you is simple: why?"

Because I don't have PS+ as I don't agree with paying for online?

@Xenomorph_79 Glad someone else said it. I do plan on finishing LAD, but the combat is a slog, and doesn't feel anywhere near as satisfying to me so I have yet to go back to the game (was on chapter 7 when I stopped).

Fun. Either way, thanks for the heads up.

I will get eventually, but since this seems to be the first game with major story DLC, I would rather wait to see if they eventually release an all-in-one release. I am looking forward to the beat-em-up style again though, I just can't be ****ed with 7 due to the turn based combat.

Not surprised it took a while for the story to grab; I had the same problem with Judgment, to the point where I stopped playing for a couple of weeks, but then returned and it just clicked.

Whatever it is, should be theoretically good either way. Sakura Wars Remastered Collection or a new Persona I am personally hoping for. I would hope for Yakuza, but I am still trying to convince myself to return to 7 and stick with the new turn-based system and characters (Love Ichiban, just not everyone else as of yet).

I can just imagine Nintendo doing this; when F-Zero finally returns after 17 years and it is just a mobile game.

Hopefully a new Wipeout comes out for consoles soon.

Hmmm. Might wait to see if they eventually release a definitive edition of this. I'd rather it all on the disc.

@CynicalGamer Pretty much the same. I am only missing 1 item on my completion list before I can properly obtain platinum in Yakuza 0, and it is making ¥500,000 in the batting cage. Only Yakuza game I have got platinum for so far is Kiwami 2.

Nice. If I ever get around to owning a PS5, I might finally do that second playthrough.

I am still hoping for the day where we have modern day Asura in Street Fighter. That Epilogue in Asura's Wrath was a tease.

Nice to know where Sony's mind is at right now I guess?

I might of missed it, but if not, how many of those Spiderman sales were purely PS5? The way it is worded seems as if that is across both PS4 and PS5 in which case, how many PS5 copies have sold would be more interesting to know.

It was pretty great hearing Dragon Quest and Nier music. Also Chrono Trigger music (for the love of lavos, make a new one Square Enix!).

Maybe it will become a Yakuza game since Like a Dragon became a Dragon Quest game. =P

It might be quicker for EA to just say what is going to be at EA Play Live.

That would suck if true. I am still not sure if I would buy Yakuza 8 at present as I still can't be bothered to wade through 7 as I find the turn-based combat stale after a short while. To hear there wouldn't even be a spin off game with original Yakuza combat means I would pretty much be done with Yakuza series.

Nice opening. This should be good to jump into. It feels good recognising the characters this time around. I really think the original games opening was more stylish though, but this is really good.

@twitchtvpat Ehh, it's fine. I've misread stuff before, so it's easily done.

@twitchtvpat I urge you to take another look at my comment. You'll notice that it says "if this is true", before I say my piece. I would argue you're the one jumping the gun here.

@twitchtvpat Tsushima has barely been out a year. Sony closing the gaps in releasing "exclusives" on console, and then on PC does not bode well for any supposed PS5 "exclusives" (not that there are many in the first place with Sony turning around and making most of their upcoming releases also on PS4). It feels like they are trying to get games day and date on both PC and console. If that happens, what is the point of owning a PS5?

@Divergent95 To Sony: "You're going down a path I can't follow!"

Sony: "Because of Xbox?"

To Sony: "Because of what you've done; what you plan to do."

Okay, I'll stop now.

On topic, if this is true, why Sony are so keen on throwing away the main reason to get a PS5, I have no clue.

Not including PS4 versions of games listed in the poll, I have only played P5 Strikers so far this year. Definitely a few on here, that I would like to buy and play, but have not gotten around to it yet.

Elden Ring doesn't surprise me; the rest kind of do. Somewhat sad to not see stuff like Two Point Campus on here, but to be fair, not exactly the biggest game, so that is more a personal pick.

@get2sammyb You have a point. I guess it was just the way he worded it that came off wrong to me. But people really shouldn't need to ask this question.

What was the point of this apology? I am sure Pete intended to come off as being sympathetic, but this comes off as almost insulting. It would of been better to say nothing in this case I think. I am sure people understand why Bethesda games are exclusive given they are now owned by Microsoft and if they don't, that is on them.

If this is true, Sony are still adding to the reasons why I shouldn't get a PS5 (at least for a few years). Not like I needed more reasons at this point but whatever. I have never tried Demon's Souls, so I would probably pick it up if it did come to PS4 (depending on price).

@Mostik Nope, you're good to play this without playing any of the Yakuza games. The only things that are shared is the city and the major clan that controls it. All the story and characters are unrelated.

Probably would of done better putting the Dragon Quest presentation content in here, rather than doing a separate presentation... but then where would they put the mobile games?

This E3 has been a lot of meh for me so far. I think only Nintendo might save it, but given I have no faith in them at the moment, I am sort of ready to write off E3 at this point.

It feels like everytime Jimmy Jim opens his mouth, Sony as a whole becomes less appealing. They have certainly moved away from the "For the players!" slogan haven't they.

"This was a tough decision for us to make, but ultimately, we had to act in the interests of the PlayStation Community, and not knowingly sell a game that might result in a bad experience for them."

Are you sure about that Jim? I am more inclined to believe that it is more the fact it was high profile, and that CD Projekt Red asked customers to look to yourselves for refunds from PSN without consultation.

If you have not played, I certainly recommend. Feels weird to say that about an EA game, but I quite enjoyed this one. I might go back to try and get the platinum at some point in the near future.

I don't know about lying per se, more so misleading, but one thing is for certain:

I feel justified in not buying the PS5 when I had the opportunity to do so. I will continue to wait until it is either cheap (unlikely to be for a while given the manufacturing situation) or enough worthwhile games come to it that I can't play elsewhere.

Looking forward to this. My experience with VF has been an eye-toy minigame on PS2, and a bit of VF2 and VF5 via the Yakuza series. Will be nice to properly get into VF5.
