There were a few diamonds in the rough: Dragon’s Dogma 2 and Revenant Hill were the only things that got me rising up from my coma. Release date for Alan Wake 2 was also neat and I’m honestly more excited for the classic MGS games than the actual remake.
I can’t believe I’m saying this but there’s a decent chance Summer Game Fest might beat this presentation.
Kinda wish Sony would just let everyone know their schedule ahead of time like Microsoft did for their showcase. It would certainly make taking time off less of a hassle…
Definitely keeping my eye on it but I’ll refrain from preordering. I can easily see this getting headlines of either being fantastic or a garbage fire.
Yep, got it and managed a couple of levels before work. The combat is really fun once you get your kit and I adore the setting. If the quality is consistent throughout the campaign then this might be top 5 for me this year.
I’m on the second island clocking at 5 or so hours and I’m really digging it. The combat could use some tuning, and the cyberspace levels are definitely the weakest bit, but zooming around the open zone is really fun. A real good 7 out of 10.
Crazy to think a 1080/60 option is something to moan and groan about nowadays. I thought people were more than willing to cut resolution to get those frame rates?

Re: Final Fantasy 16: The Rising Tide DLC Is Designed to Be More Challenging
Looking forward to it.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing the Stellar Blade Demo?
Something about attacking and defending feels off to me. I dunno if it’s input lag since I don’t see anyone make any mention of it.
Re: Game of the Year: Top 10 PS5, PS4 Soundtracks of 2023
If there was one thing FF16 got down without any issue it would be the music.
Re: Here's Another 20 Minutes of Fantastic Granblue Fantasy: Relink PS5 Gameplay
Seeing that I have no friends I’m hoping solo play is a viable option.
Re: Game of the Year: #5 - Final Fantasy 16
The game is better when playing FF mode and skipping every cutscene. Seriously, FF mode should’ve been the standard difficulty.
Re: Final Fantasy 16 Dev Team Disbands, Making Sequels or Spin-Offs Unlikely
I’m not the biggest fan of FF16 but it’s a shame that we might not see what improvements they could’ve made for a sequel.
Re: Kratos Voice Actor Underfire for Roasting New Call of Duty Campaign
I saw it more of a jab at Activision than their devs. And yeah, people get to clown on you passing a dlc pack as a new release.
Re: Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Spotlights Its Brainwashed Heroes in Latest Trailer
It looks like a fun time, but I can’t get behind the tacked on online crap. Maybe if an offline mode is implemented I’ll bite.
Re: Final Fantasy 16's First Expansion Out Now on PS5, Second Arrives in Spring 2024
Uggggghhhh I have to admit the environments in the first DLC look pretty dope. And hey, more Soken music!
Re: Alone in the Dark Delayed Once More, Now Out in March 2024
Take your time. Lord knows there is plenty to play fist half of 2024.
Re: Feature: Predict The Game Awards 2023 with Our 20 Question Quiz
Geoff and Kojima will definitely bro it out on stage. I do think Baulder’s Gate 3 will take GOTY no contest.
Re: GTA 6 Skips Last-Gen PS4 Version for PS5, Xbox Series X|S
Ah man I wanted to see PS4s explode.
Re: PlayStation Users Set to Lose Hundreds of TV Shows They Paid For
Annnnd this is why I buy my movies on Blu Ray.
Re: Final Fantasy 16's First Expansion Should Be Revealed This Month
Maybe this go around there will be actual dungeons that aren’t just a straight line.
Re: Promising Detective RPG Decapolice Gets a Huge Delay to 2025
That is quite the delay.
Re: Sony Delays Six Live Service PS5 Games, But Company Remains Committed to Model
You can keep your live service games.
Re: Sony Will Help Fund and Distribute a Live-Action The Legend of Zelda Film
If it’s funded by Sony Productions would that mean it will be available on the PS5’s movie service? If so than that would be nutty.
Re: Development Cancelled on Promising Indie Title Revenant Hill
Yikes, that sucks to hear. Health is more important video gaming.
Re: Hideo Kojima Missing from Metal Gear Solid Collection's Credits on PS5, PS4
C’mon I thought y’all are better than this. This is such a non-story.
Re: Final Fantasy 14 Is Getting Final Fantasy 16 Crossover Content, Including a Torgal Mount
If it means more 14/16 music I’m all down for it.
Re: Honkai: Star Rail (PS5) - Impeccably Executed Live Service Where the Best Is Yet to Come
Gacha is an immediate turn off.
Re: The Last of Us 2 PS5 Remaster Seems to Be Real
And Bloodborne continues to collect dust in the corner.
Re: Baldur's Gate 3 Physical Release on PS5 Might Be a Possibility
Good thing I kept putting off purchasing the game! If there is a physical I’ll just wait and buy that version.
Re: A Video Game Actors Strike Could Happen Following Union Vote for Action
It’s pretty clear some people here have no respect for the craft of acting and just want more content to consume.
Re: Poll: Was This Sony's Best PlayStation Showcase Yet?
There were a few diamonds in the rough: Dragon’s Dogma 2 and Revenant Hill were the only things that got me rising up from my coma. Release date for Alan Wake 2 was also neat and I’m honestly more excited for the classic MGS games than the actual remake.
I can’t believe I’m saying this but there’s a decent chance Summer Game Fest might beat this presentation.
Re: Feature: Take Part in the PlayStation Showcase Predictions Quiz
Man the poll results for a new Sly Cooper game hurts my soul.
Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Announced for PS5, Out 19th September
I wonder what lengths they go with the Switch version since there is no PS4/XBONE release. Color me intrigued though.
Re: Rumour: PS Showcase Could Be Around Two Weeks Away
Kinda wish Sony would just let everyone know their schedule ahead of time like Microsoft did for their showcase. It would certainly make taking time off less of a hassle…
Re: Hogwarts Legacy on PS4 Looks and Runs Better Than You Might Think
I have a bit more hope for the Switch version now. Hope they pull it off!
Re: THQ Nordic Dates Digital Showcase with 'World Premiere' PS5, PS4 Reveals for 11th August
Crossing fingers for Darksiders 4. Also be cool if they announce a remaster/hi-res port of some dusty old game they somehow own the rights to.
Re: Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's PS5 File Size Is Ridiculous
… Shoot. I guess I’ll do some purging on the storage when this eventually goes on sale.
Re: Ghostwire: Tokyo Is 'Quantifiably' Better on PS5 Than Xbox Series X|S, Says Digital Foundry
That’s unfortunate it runs so poorly on Xbox. I like Ghostwire but hoo boy it doesn’t run well wherever you play it.
Re: Final Fantasy 16's PS5 Collector's Edition Is Being Scalped to High Heaven
I don’t care much for anything “deluxe” but this crap needs to end. Scalpers are seriously the worst.
Re: Rumour: Sony's Big PS5 Showcase to Take Place in Approximately Two Months
I’d just like a first party game that actually doesn’t take itself so deathly serious.
Re: Silent Hill 2's PS5 Remake Is Close to Completion
I know people like to clown on Bloober but I’m really hoping they nail it.
Re: There's a New Persona 5 Game, But It's a Gacha for Smartphones
Gacha is an immediate pass.
Re: Hogwarts Legacy PS4 Version Delayed to May 2023
The Switch version is gonna be a treat to say the least.
Re: Ni no Kuni Dev Level-5 Reveals Crime Suspense RPG DECAPOLICE for PS5, PS4
If the Switch version holds up I’ll prolly end up getting that. Nice to have a back up platform just in case!
Re: Poll: Did You Buy Forspoken?
You’ll know if it doesn’t sell well depending how early it goes on sale. It doesn’t look “bad” but certainly isn’t worth $70.
Re: Preview: Forspoken on PS5 Feels Like a Weird Tech Demo
Yeah I’ll be snagging this when it’s $30 or less. Heck, I’m more excited for the Final Fantasy rhythm game than whatever this is.
Re: Atomic Heart Sure Looks Sick on a Superpowered PC
Definitely keeping my eye on it but I’ll refrain from preordering. I can easily see this getting headlines of either being fantastic or a garbage fire.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy Evil West?
Yep, got it and managed a couple of levels before work. The combat is really fun once you get your kit and I adore the setting. If the quality is consistent throughout the campaign then this might be top 5 for me this year.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Sonic Frontiers?
I’m on the second island clocking at 5 or so hours and I’m really digging it. The combat could use some tuning, and the cyberspace levels are definitely the weakest bit, but zooming around the open zone is really fun. A real good 7 out of 10.
Re: Evil West's PS5 Performance Mode Is a Bit of a Kicker at 1080p, 60fps
Crazy to think a 1080/60 option is something to moan and groan about nowadays. I thought people were more than willing to cut resolution to get those frame rates?
Re: Random: Kendrick Lamar Fan Goes Viral for Recording Concert on PS Vita
Man I miss the Vita. What a great little console.
Re: Final Fantasy 16 Is Exclusive to PS5 for Six Months, Sony Confirms
I would be over the moon if FF16 managed to land on Series X. Knowing Sony though that might not be the case…
Re: Silent Hill 2 PS5 Remake Announced as a Console Exclusive
I’d say give Bloober a fair chance. I hope they can pull it off!
Re: A Plague Tale: Requiem Caps Out at Just 30fps on PS5, 40fps on 120hz TVs
If it isn’t one thing to scream about it’s another. I like 60FPS but it’s not like 30FPS is unplayable.
Re: Rumour: Sony Will Flood Stores with PS5 Stock in 2023, Revised Model Due in September
2023 might actually be the year! Hopefully it’ll be as easy as walking into the store and picking it up from the floor.
Re: Bloodborne at 60fps Is Just Two Lines of Code Away from Reality
Bloodborne is like the best game out of the last console generation. Absolutely mental they still haven’t done anything with it yet.
