What was interesting was when I was playing Serious Sam 4 with my dualsense routing audio to my headphones, the haptics did the bass frequencies through the controller. Felt so cool!

@vapidwolf I don't see that happening. They are spending A LOT of money on these free adapters in shipping alone. This method is costing them millions of dollars. If it were as simple as a software update, they would have done it already. There is no way it was cheaper to send out hundreds of thousands of free dongles than it was to pay a group of engineers to make this work at a software level.

I'm certain there's a reason for it, but dang.... seems like this was all such a costly move vs just supporting the PS5 camera.

I always really preferred Penumbra Black Plague over the Amnesia series. I wish it could get an HD re-release or something.

Launch date + 2 years.

@Broosh It really wasn't really a spiritual successor though. It was inspired by Jet Set Radio, but shares very little in terms of similarities. Hover was still enjoyable for its own merits. Just somewhat glitchy/buggy and weird difficulty spikes.

@Milt Me. I planned on buying one for me and one for my wife. Split screen is dying/dead and we still want to play games together.

Yeah, I dunno about this one. Plenty of limits everywhere for people to point out. Easily target is going to be framerates as it seems many titles will STILL be limited to 30fps.

@vegeta11 That is my guess too which is a little annoying because a disc drive/license isn't $100 but I'm sure they'll use the disc version to subsidize the digital version. I only 'want' the disc version for bluray, but at that price point it wouldn't make any sense.

Hopefully.... $499 for digital and $449 for disc version. Wondering about PS5 VR too. No info at all makes me think it won't be ready to bundle at launch...

FFXIV certainly deserves to be there. The levequest portion is BRUTAL because not only are they time limited as you mentioned, but they are basically outdated. There's little reason to do them these days. I think I'm at like 2k hours in that game, but I'm only around 900 or so. Should also mention there's no easy way to see how many you have.... there are like 4 categories you'd have to look through and add up.

Honorable mention for this list: Farpoint. These Challenge medals are no joke. Not a super grindy plat or anything, but getting three medals on some stages takes a huge amount of skill/practice.

I recently played it for the first time. It's certainly a great game that still holds up. I'm on the side that hates the combat though. It's unresponsive and clunky imo. Not in a 'fun' way at all. In terms of world building and quests, it's still the best RPG imo. Side quests in the Witcher 3 are better written and more fun than most main quests in other RPG. Graphics/performance also seem a little dated imo, but not distractingly so.

@TrueAssassin86x I dunno man. THPS 5 and THPS:HD were both so rough. I'm worried about the music licensing and the Activisionness of microtransactions. For what it's worth, I didn't pre-order Crash

If there was ever a pre-order game I didn't trust.... this is it

Just stop using slowed down 'dramatic' versions of songs from the 80s/90s and I'll be happy. I hate that so much. It kills me that a game like FFVII's trailer felt it needed a crappy/horrible version of a Smashing Pumpkins songs while FFVII already has AMAZING music. Really grinds my gears.

@kyleforrester87 That is kinda what I'm thinking. I haven't played two much because Mr X seemed more annoying than anything.

I'll probably grab this one when I finish Persona 5 again. Seems more up my ally than RE2

@NorrinRadd When I connect to the Data Centers in the midwest (NA), PSN claims my internet speeds are too low to stream games. I have extremely low latency gigabit fiber to the house...... If i use a VPN to connect to other PSN data centers, it's fine. Issue seems to be with them not load balancing very well.

@NorrinRadd From my experience, they can't handle the bandwidth at some data centers for PS Now as is. Opening it up to everyone sounds like a disaster.

Would be nice if they enforce or allow us to completely disable messaging on PS3. Everytime I log into mine (like once or twice a year) I get a thousand notifications of messages from PS4.

Maybe I'm just a nerd, but I thought it was really cool to see more of a deep dive on their choices. I loved the presentation but can see why others could feel let down.

Personally, It looks like it's going to be amazing, but (potentially) so close to PS5, it's hard for me to get that excited yet. I'm sure it's being developed for both, so I'd rather wait and play the best version.

Good. More people need to enjoy this amazing game.

Still feel a 5 or 6 is more fair, but meh. Certainly feels like an average game to me.

Two good games I already own! I know Sonic Forces got a lot of flack, but I really enjoyed the gameplay and music.

I just need fullllllllllllll VR support. The very limited VR mode in GT:S already spoiled me from ever enjoying a flat racing sim ever again

It kind of makes sense to wait on Dreams in general. The longer the game is out, the better it will be

@J2theEzzo Agreed. Great game! Some of the best boss music in any game ever too. I'm not sure Konami would be into the idea though.... they don't seem to like any good ideas

Let's all be real. The movie was excellent.

It's just crazy that this game will only get better with time. I'll admit, it's a little underwhelming for someone who doesn't like to create right now. Lots of "demo" and "WIP", but so much promise.

Yeahhhh that's a hard pass. Raging Rajang fine, but I don't think I want to deal with an even more annoying brachy. He's just the worst.

I love it. Everything about this movie is so amazing

@gaboice Looks like this one requires you to register while psnprofiles doesn't.

My poor brother simply cannot play this game often because of these updates. He lives in the country where his internet is sold at 2Mbps down/500k up. Thats bits not bytes. It takes him weeks to download these patches. He even went as far to ship me his external hard drive to download the patches for him.....

I mean, at that point, it's going to be a PS5 game for me anyways

@leucocyte That's exactly the growing problem with streaming though. It used to be that 'everything' was on Netflix and everyone rejoiced that they no longer needed 15 different cable packages. Now we are getting back to that point where you have to sub to so many streaming services. They all start to lose value at that point. Piracy is back on the rise because of it.

I get that business models have to have SOMETHING unique to offer these days, but all of this exclusivity is a horrible way for them to treat consumers. There are other more consumer friendly ways to demonstrate service worth.

@WildStrike Not always though.

There were many cases with this when it came to Fortnite and Minecraft. Consumers felt they had to invest in a separate platform just to play the same games they already own with their friends. Some people were stuck playing (as you call them) inferior versions of these games because they wanted to play with their friends. Isn't this still devaluing a platform because others might not own it? I could be playing Monster Hunter World in 1440p/120hz, but because all my friends play on PS4, that's where I play. Sounds an awful lot like that devalues my PC. Plenty of MH fans bought PS4 JUST to play this masterpiece back when it was console exclsuive. That seems extremely unfair to ask them to spend $200+ sub fees. Once it finally hit PC, they were still 'stuck' on PS4 since there is no cross platform save or MP.

It's anti-choice and anti-consumer. Forcing consumers into bubbles might work well for businesses now, but it's not what is best for the consumers.

@Odin1985x Likewise. I think you missed my point.

I'm saying to me and my uses, PS4 releases are superior and PC versions are inferior. Console experience is by far better than PC gaming experience for me.

What makes you think PlayStation versions will be 'crappy'? What makes you think PC versions will be 'top notch'? There are plenty examples where console games port to PC and have a ton of issues/bugs/performance problems. If you value frame rate and resolution so much, you should be thrilled Sony is releasing more games on PC because it sounds that like is where you want to play. Currently, you don't have a choice. If you want to play HZD, you have to deal with 30fps.

If Sony releases previous exclusives on PC, they will simply be respecting consumers choice.

@WildStrike The consoles worth is what the market makes it. If you plan to buy/play on PS4 anyways, why would the inclusion of a PC or Xbox version devalue the console for you? Exclusives insensitive console sales at the cost of consumer choice.

In the past, exclusivity was more important due to differences in architecture and optimization. Console exclusives might have more time to put into fine tuning and optimization rather than spreading workload to other platforms. Now that all platforms are basically the same (except Nintendo), it just makes sense to spread the love.

The whole idea is we as consumers should have more choices. This idea of exclusives is outdated and just seems to lead to toxic fanboy/girl-ism. This is the same reason why people are pushing for cross platform play. Do you believe in cross platform play? Wouldn't that also devalue the console by your definition?

@Odin1985x It depends on what you value. To me, a PC version is always inferior for my use. Sure, graphics, framerate, and features are all 'better', but I'm done dealing with PC gaming. I deal with computer/application/server/network issues all day for my job. When I get home, I want to push one button and start playing a game. No dealing with drivers, updates, launchers, peripherals, etc. I did the PC gaming for 15 or so years, but I'm done with it.

You don't have to pay full price on games either. If you aren't happy with performance, wait for a sale (unless you're a Nintendo gamer...). Buying a brand new game doesn't really make much sense most of the time.

I wouldn't imagine console vs PC programming is all that different these days. Both are x86 and a lot of API/engines are shared. I would imagine if you know PC, you can quickly earn console and vice versa.

Also, adding PC versions of a game isn't a bad thing. If you love something, wouldn't you want more people to experience it?

At this point, might just wait around to see if there are PS5 versions of any of these and just wait a few months.

If Gran Turismo 7 is a launch title, I will look forward to playing it two years after launch.

I've only played Golden Abyss, 2, and 1. That's also my order from fav to least fav. Story in 2 was fun, but wasn't a huge fan of all the climbing everywhere. Gun play also didn't feel great on harder difficulties. 1 just hasn't aged well imo.

Have mine on pre-order. Playing the Witcher 3 is a great use case... Holding X to sprint means no control over camera. Can't wait to test these

Prob just cause I'm getting older, but (until the last couple of years) I still looked forward to and enjoyed E3 stuff. It's true, it's not nearly as important or valuable these days though.

I like the UHD bluray style colors. I also wish they were smaller with less waste. I haven't bought a physical game in years though.

I never really caught the Last of Us craze. I just hate the actual gameplay so much that I never was able to finish it. Certainly willing to accept being in the minority there though. I wish I liked it.. I really do

Monster Hunter must be criminally under-rated to not even make the top 20. It's easily top 5

As much as I'm liking the Witcher 3, I'm not sure it's aged well. Combat and movement is so .... muddy? Clunky isn't really the right word, but it's not responsive and just weird. I wouldn't disagree with it being in the top 20, but maybe not 3?

@Amplified k... AMD FreeSync™ Premium Pro then. Seems like the exact same thing as 2.0 only with an annoying rebrand.

After playing it in VR, it's absolutely ruined flat racing games for me. There's no going back from good VR racing to flat racing.

I just want 4k, freesync 2.0, and high refresh rates. 8k is stupid for gaming.
