Smaller packaging, less waste.

My only real complains with the game were map design was sometimes a little weird and no coop. Otherwise, it's such a fantastic game. The Surge 1 had some amazing DLC, so I have high expectations for this one!

Seems like it's not really news worthy, but I'm afraid I'm already sick of seeing it everywhere on all of the internet. Did anyone really expect anything else?

Hella excited to replay Bayonetta. I only got to play the crappy PS3 version, so I'm excited to see the good version. Vanquish is a nice bonus too!

I liked the show enough to try the game again. Still don't really like the wonky as hell animations/movement and 'go here, watch cut scene' game design, but I enjoy it more knowing a bit of the back story.

They saw you gave Death Stranding the #2 GotY position and they rage quit.

No Monster Hunter World Iceborne in the top 10? Invalid list. Best game of this generation/decade. It's an expansion, sure, but still. Surprised to see Days Gone up there too.. I went in with no expectations and was still let down.

@ztpayne7 Ah that's a shame, but I suppose if you aren't used to MH, things like the controls might feel strange and take getting used to. I can agree that the story mode join coop design is awful until you finish the story stuff.

It's my game of the decade by a wide margin. I think I have like 700 hours in and still find a ton of enjoyment in it.

@ztpayne7 Wow, that's the first time I've seen that opinion. Maybe MH just isn't for you? Nothing wrong with that, just curious as to what disappointed you about it.

@kyleforrester87 OLED are actually pretty good on battery since any of the black area is effectively using no electricity. It looks like a SUPER low resolution screen too, so b/w OLED is probably about as efficient as it gets in terms of a display (except maybe e-ink)

About time. I've been dying for one of these. I wasn't willing to pay the outrageous prices of the SCUFF or other modded brands and all of the weird official 'pro' controllers aren't as good as the DS4 imo.

Destiny was one of, if not, the most disappointing games I've ever played. I would also say it was the perfect example of how not to run games as a service. I don't even think it had too significant an impact on the market considering I can only think of a couple games that tried to emulate it. All in all, I couldn't disagree more with this one.

Warframe is great example of how to run a game as a service. You also have WoW, DoTa 2, LoL, Rocket League, Fortnite (which is probably the best example of a GaaS right now), Diablo III, and FFXIV... to name a few. Personally, I feel Destiny had little/no impact on most of these.

I still think Demon's Souls was a better game, but that's just like... my opinion man. That was 2009 though, so a technicality.

So is this an "Xbox One 2" or just an updated version of the Xbox One X?

@GodGamer Exactly. That was my point.

Well let's be honest, if Stadia did everything it said it would, that would have been somewhat scary considering how poor PS Now would have been in comparison. Since Stadia absolutely did not live up to it's claims (at least yet), it puts it at about par with what Sony offers.

@Gmork___ Thanks! Arrow 1000. I prefer the Alexi 600 model, but this thing rips too

I want more details on what OS improvements they are making. Hardware is going to be close enough to the same.

I think PS3 was my favorite. It pulled me away from the annoyances of PC gaming and introduced me to the qualtiy of blurays. In general, I have great memories of the library. It also felt like the first major step up in consoles since the Dreamcast or Xbox.

Similar stories about PSP. I skipped the PS1 in favor of the N64, and I skipped the PS2 in favor of Dreamcast/Xbox.

Vita was awesome, but we all know where that went. PS4 has an amazing and probably the best library, but it didn't feel as big of a deal as PS3 did. There are still somethings I prefer to the PS3 over PS4.

Makes perfect sense. Personally though, I wonder what else that studio has to offer. Beat Saber has a ton of room for improvements, but has been stagnant since launch despite it's (what I would interpret) #1 position in VR.

Pretty sure the dual blades from that guy hs dual element thunder/dragon? Or maybe it was paralyze/dragon... either way.. I WANT

FFXII and The Talos Principle. How about a VR game too?

Anyone who has played this and Beat Saber, how does it compare in terms of physical activity? From the videos I've seen, Audica looks very chill/low energy, but I guess low level beat saber would look like that too

Nice. I've been wanting a game like this. I was thinking the Zero Escape series would hit VR by this point; but VR seems to have lost a lot of steam.

Now they are probably in a position where it's not worth the time to fix it. It already has a spoiled reputation and probably didn't sell all that well. It will probably just get brushed under the carpet to be forgotten until the next game.

Looks like a great design in term of thermals. The center might be an intake with the exhaust on the sides and two giant heatsinks on either ends of the V. Could be nearly silent.

Still working on Iceborne... I'll probably grab MediEvil on discount (prob Black Friday)

I just got an promo email about Concrete Genie. Your soapbox worked

Warframe took this route too. No plat though

Still surprised AND PLEASED that Iceborne got it's own platinum.

It wasn't really a game I was excited about anyways, but still a big bummer depending on how it runs. As long as it's stable 1080p/60fps, enhancement shouldn't matter much.

Great article, but I do wonder if it would even make a big enough difference. Marketing or not, some of these are niche games. Dumping money into marketing for a niche game might not be a wise investment. If they did pump a bunch of money in and lost it, how would that be better than making it and letting the word spread for free?

Don't get me wrong, Sony has a ton of improvements to make via the PSN and it's recommendations. I'm sick of being recommended the same 10 AAA games that I clearly have no interest in playing. They need to improve the AI behind the recommendations rather than just 'playing it safe' with AAA games recommendations for everyone.

The last point I'd say is that I wonder what the overlap is for gamers interested in niche games, and gamers who don't follow 'the market' on their own. My guess would be individuals interested in these smaller titles will already learn/know about them from their communities.

Demon's Souls will always have a soft spot in my heart. I had more fun in Demon's Souls than Bloodborne, but I'd probably agree it's bloodborne is better.

The one thing I didn't like...... the 3 NPC battle near the end. I always hated when these games make you fight multiple npc at once when the camera and controls just don't feel suited for it. Honestly, I think I stopped playing after that part because it was just annoying. Multiple boss/bad guys was done in other areas of the series so much better. That 3 npc fight just felt thrown in for the sake of it.

Looks like The Sims.....

Well now I can't buy it. I refuse to buy devices with logical naming. It should have been call PlayStation or PS1.

@Splat Pretty sure Monster Hunter World is my favorite game of all time. It's just so amazing.

As long as it's not used for PS5 VR tracking......

@rjejr PSP Go was still completely playable during those 23 days. It wasn't an "always online" device. You just couldn't purchase games during that time

@KALofKRYPTON I wish for whatever reason, that PSP Game just isn't downloadable. I even have it on my PS3, but it cannot be transferred to the Vita for some reason. It seems like it was blacklisted for whatever reason.

Maybe late gen PS5 games. Sony is all about higher resolution displays right now.

3D was hella cool despite all the hate it got. It's still hella cool to play 3D Blurays in PSVR. Certainly not a game changer, but I still miss it.

Freesync 2 with 90+hz/fps > any sort of 3d though.

I loved mine, but it was uncomfortable. MH claw technique was super uncomfortable....

Still have it though! My crazy GT:PSP save is still on it. Those Phantasy Star PSP games too... they were excellent but taken off the store so I can't play them on my Vita

They still need to upgrade their infrastructure for me to pay in. There is far too much latency still AND their 'network tests' are garbage and claim my connection isn't good enough half the time. I have a gigabit fiber to the house connection, all wired cat7/8 and setup for 10Gb (I know ps4 is only 1Gb, but just saying, my router/switch are 10Gb).

I wish all games were split vertical. I hate longboi horizontal splits.

Sonic's looking a little different these days

Hopefully, they just start making games with the idea that they could benefit from future hardware. It doesn't make much sense to release remasters if originals could just take advantage of additional processing power.

Well deserved... it's a masterpiece of a game.

Re-release it with updated models and exciting new brands: Firraro, Morcudes, Vilkskagon, Auty, DMW, and Hindo

It's a shame Sony doesn't have someone like me around to solve all their licensing issues.

Seems like the tracking was really improved. The new songs seem great too. I stopped playing since the (imo horrible) Imagine Dragons pack because it (imo) the songs sucked and the tracking seemed to get REALLY bad.

Coop RE are my favorite RE

@KALofKRYPTON but trophhhhhhies

This is one of those games I know I'd love, but I have such a hard time buying it because of the time sick I know it will be....
