Definitely seems like a glitch. This system would exist on the operating system for PS Plus games, something has happened where it's being applied to all software.
@BearsEatBeets Jordan spent a lot of time on his MGS project and a live action Netflix Gundam film, neither of which panned out. He left the Gundam project and it's now moving forward as a series.
There are also allegations of misconduct that while unverified, would possibly have impacted his lack of feature film output. He's got a few TV episodes and advert credits but that's all.
@PuppetMaster Being slow to adapt to change is probably the biggest flaw in Japanese business, so it's nice when any of them are more flexible like Sony have been.
Concord sold less than 30K units. Marathon sold 1.2 million at the same price. Maybe not as high as Sony would've liked, but there's potential there, and I doubt it cost as much to develop.
Marathon is no Concord, so the people wanting it to fail and comparing it to that game are just being weird and bitter at this point.
Valkyrie description is still showing the old one for me, and Bluepoint is still listed, although the hyperlink to their website doesn't work. No Team LFG.
The Missing Link cancellation was a pretty big blow to their plans. I'm guessing KHIV will take longer because they're integrating parts of that game into it.
Had a look on Dekudeals and they've not put it on sale since late 2023. Maybe they'll do it one last time before the delisting but more often than not they don't bother. I'll wait, and if need be I'll bite the bullet and buy at full price.
I question anyone who was seriously concerned about this. Just look at the Switch 2 footage of Rebirth, obviously lower res and 30fps, but it's basically the same thing, but with come texture compression.
@Krlozgod That, and his comparison to Yakuza 3's remaster delisting is an apples and oranges comparison. MGS4 PS3 is being delisted to make way for a PS5 port, the exact same game on newer hardware. Yakuza 3 was removed in favour of a remake that makes substantial changes (and cuts substantial content), it's a different game.
Not shocked about MGO as it was shut down many years ago, and while great, isn't a key part of the game. Peace Walker is a fundamentally co-op game, and never had it's online support disabled.
@ProfessorNiggle Yeah that's the part that stings about this if it turns out to be true. I wouldn't mind waiting a bit longer for a typical home console, but I really want that supposed handheld version. For the Switch 1 I double dipped a lot, but with Switch 2 I'm holding off on multiplats with the expectation of playing them portably later on PS.
The Portal isn't viable for me based on my experiences with the remote play app either. Home connection is laggy and the workplace wifi blocks it entirely lol. Has to be a native handheld.
It's a Persona 1 PSP situation. They gave the game a new soundtrack based on the current musical direction of newer games in the series (Persona 3/Rayman Origins). It's not bad, it just doesn't fit the vibe of the game.
@belmont It will either be in Volume 3 (which will happen, because Revengeance isn't on PS5 or Switch, as is MGSV for Switch - Acid games too maybe) or it will be announced later. I don't think they revealed everything for Volume 1 all at once. Might be misremembering, but either way, Snake's Revenge came back, Portable Ops should have it's time.
You know what's funny? Yakuza 0 wasn't delisted in Japan. You can log into a JP PSN account and add it to your cart alongside the Director's Cut. The Japanese version of the series bundle also gives you both versions of 0.
I don't know if it will be the same for 3 Remastered, but it has me wondering...
@Fizza The whole "we hired a real creep" thing regarding Kagawa gives me that same impression. It's like when someone trips over and says they meant to do that.
