You know people would always say sony isn't the same and they lost their identity and all that (I was one of those people I admit) but at the end of the day these games just don't sell like that anymore. People don't buy em. They all want the same stuff. Its almost as if a dev has to get lucky for their new IP to sell well. And that's for any company really.
Fromsoft keeps doing souls games cuz that's all people want. Sega keeps doing yakuza cuz that's all people want. Capcom keeps doing the same RE's, Monhun, and Street fighters cuz that's all people buy. If they made a Rival school with as much love and budget that sf6 seems to have I bet it still wouldn't sell enough.
Platinum has mostly put out various unique bangers their whole career yet they're still struggling to this day.
Sony is still a business at the end of the day. They're just doing what brings in the money. It's very unfortunate especially for people like me who love Japanese games and variety but it's just how it is.
I've been watching this game since it leaked before its announcement. It looks so good. I'm glad soleil is giving us the more arcadey action games since team ninja doesn't seem to want to do anything besides nioh type games nowadays
Hopefully she'll have much better lines. I remember when everyone hated how aloy sounded during the gameplay reveal of the first Horizon game but she sounded great in the final game. Hopefully it'll be the same case here. Regardless of how bad the writing may be the gameplay still looks incredible
Regardless of any survey results or feedback they're still probably gonna do NFTs. Surely they've seen the backlash against them and I hardly even see nfts being brought up anymore yet they're still here like "you guys interested in nfts? Are you suuuuure? Are you really really suuuure?? Breathe if yes, recite the Bible in Japanese if no"
I think the digital figures sound pretty dope. Would be a cool reward for getting a Plat. Maybe give the figures different poses. 3 or 4 poses should be fine. They can have some kind of virtual display too like how smash bros melee and guilty gear Rev 2 had.
I would like to earn credits for games and dlc but I'm sure the requirements would be insane. Probably earn 1,000 platinum trophies or having to have been subscribed to ps plus since it first came out or some ridiculous bs
Lol well it about time. I've always wanted something more for when I plat a game instead of just a trophy. Like an avatar set or theme or something. The digital figures sound pretty cool too
I'm still hype but man I wanted this to be more character action than another soulslike. But things like adding a jump, less loot, and hopefully no stamina make it sound much more exciting.
I know the FF characters weren't that important to the story, but it was still cool to see them there. All you need to do is just give them a world where they help sora with whatever enemies would be there to push the plot forward a little bit just like they did in traverse town and Hollow bastion in KH1 and 2.
They could be party members and sora and cloud could have a double omnislash limit break. COME ON NOMURA. COME ON.
But fr even if you don't wanna include them in the story how about just giving them cameos? Making them summons maybe? Secret boss? There was no need to completely scrap them. To say that the basis of the series isn't ff x disney is silly cuz we all know about the elevator conversation all those years ago and how the series came to be.
I just hope this isn't another nioh. Let it be closer to ninja gaiden or something different. I don't mind a few similarities but I just don't want yet another nioh type game. At least drop the loot system. Kinda weird that they said they were done with nioh but make 2 games which are basically just that 😅
Had my eyes on this since the first trailer and man the team has come a long way. It looks so much better.
And with this game, samurai jack, Vengeance is mine, and the new valkyrie profile game, Soleil seems to be coming up. Platinum may have some competition
@MFTWrecks Yea it's been a while since FF was turn based. I think the last turn based game was FF13. But the last few games FF15, FF7 remake, and now FF16 are all action RPGs.
@RubyCarbuncle they've said several times that it's up to nintendo to release anything bayo 3 related.
Also quite a lot of people still care for April fools since a buncha devs are joking around with it. It's pretty fun to see which announcements are fake and which ones are actually real projects
They did say the neo classic thing was gonna be a series of games so I doubt this is actually an April fools joke. Just hope we'll be able to see em all come to fruition. I'm also glad the next one will be a brawler
So is no one else even just a bit concerned that Microsoft is spending literal billions buying companies that have some of the most popular games ever? Or is everyone just saying "haha more exclusives for microsoft"?
Long answer: Uncharted 2. Uncharted 4 could've been the best but it's story kinda sucked. First off Sam should've been teased in an earlier game. Maybe he was and I just missed It but it felt weird that drake suddenly has a brother. The story should've been Sam actually needing drakes help to taking care of the cartel dude or whoever he was and taking the treasure for themselves instead of it being a whole story Sam made up.
Then there was their name change. I was hoping it would be more along the lines of them being related to some infamous treasure hunters or something so they changed their names to be safe. Or maybe they did some real messed up stuff in the past and changed their names to stay safe from the public or something. But the name change didn't seem all that big a deal. I expected much more from their backstory
And rafe just sucked. He was a lame ass villain. And I also kinda wished they went into more fantasy territory like how Uncharted 2 did with those huge monster things and the shandorians. I think that's what they were called.
Uncharted 4 could've been way better but 2 still wears the crown imo
@Atreus97 I doubt it'd be any different from any gta. Or assassins creed. Just some AI walking around, maybe a few groups talking to each other, cars driving by, etc
I'm kinda stuck on this. On one hand I'm finding it very hard to believe this is actual gameplay, but on the other hand we've gotten some great looking games on the dated consoles of last gen like FF7 remake, gow4, last of us 2, dmc5, etc. So with these new consoles and having a huge Corp backing it financially, maybe this can actual happen
I'm definitely hype but I'm hoping this plays more like ninja gaiden or a new formula. It'd be weird for them to make 2 nioh style games after they already said they're done with the nioh series. Either way I'm excited
Hype! Excited to see the progress they've made so far. They did great with the fan feedback with nioh so I hope they do the same here. Not worried about the visuals either. Nioh 2 looked great on my base ps4 so I'm sure the final product will be great too. I just hope they add more color 😅
I despise the yakuza games for their platinum trophies. Especially judgment. I cam do the easier stuff like unlocking all upgrades, using whatever fighting style how many times, purchasing all items in a store. But the flippin minigames are the absolute worst. And some things are just so insanely tedious and time consuming.
Win the drone race. But my drone sucks and needs better parts. Go talk to this guy to get a better part. He wants a lotta money for it. Don't have enough money. I'll need a quick way to grind. Do vr missions. They don't give me enough. Oh there's an item that helps me earn more money in vr? It costs 10 tickets. 1 ticket is 2 million dollars and only available at this store. Another ticket is exclusively earned through getting 127 homeruns in a row at the batting cages. The batting controls are way too sensitive. Oh there's a golden bat that improves your performance. You have to defeat each member of the amon family at the same time to earn the bat...
Not gonna say it sucked but it was very underwhelming like it has been the past few years. Guess it's to be expected since Sony and Nintendo don't really participate in these events anymore and have their own showcases.
Like I've said before people didn't buy or support all the Japanese games we used to get. Everyone bought God of War and sushi ghost and Spiderman and whatever else. No one buys those unique Japanese games. Amd it's not just japan studio. There have been so many amazing Japanese games that didn't sell well over the years. Games that brought something new to the table or managed to make a done already thing feel new. God hand, okami, wonderful 101, The silver case, no more heroes, gravity Rush, vanquish, 13 sentinels, Jet set Radio future, etc. Its unfair
@sajoey same thing I've been saying. People didn't support those games. I mean I get why a golf game wouldn't sell much, but we've had games like gr and gr2, ico, Folklore, last guardian, etc. Great games that no one bought 🤷♂️
There's something about these Chinese games. Many of them look similar to me. Sure the graphics are nice, but then you have hits with no impact, jank animations, etc. Of course there are exceptions like that wukong game and FIST but still. I do like how you can traverse on the bamboo and also how he sliced the bamboo and kicked it into the monsters chest
Then just skip the pc version. If it comes down to it make a new protag cuz I really don't wanna see some new face for Yagami. I really like this dude.
But what will the gameplay be like? The parkour movement looks dope what but else will the game offer? Im pretty upset that game devs are still in the graphics obsession phase. Hopefully the game actually contains some cool stuff in it.
Instead of wasting it on pointless things, let's direct that anger toward nintendo for not remaking mother 3. Do you know how incredible that game is??? And it's still stuck on the flippin Gameboy in Japan. There are bigger problems that need to be addressed people come on
Nioh was amazing so its no surprise that the gameplay here was great too. They just need to work on the graphics and framerate. Also glad they added difficulty options so I dont have to worry about adding more holes to my wall
I remember when platinum said they're opening a studio for live service game back when they got the tencent money. Gonna assume that that studio has a buncha new less experienced guys doing this game while the veterans focus on bayo 3 and GG. I couldn't think of any other reason why this game looks so bad. Their mobile game looks way better than this
Part of me will always be excited whenever a major gaming event is coming up. You never know what will happen, but still I'm not expecting anything. I'm just happy to finally see a Platinum game
people really thought sony was just gonna ditch the millions of ps4 owners out there. The thousands who cant get a ps5 because of the pandemic and shortages that everyone seems to have forgotten about. That horizon footage didnt look held back in any way to me
@Ken_Kaniff I'd agree if most final fantasy games DIDNT have completely different stories, casts, worlds, and now different combat systems. They're almost completely different games from one another especially the more recent games like 15, 7 remake, and I'm sure 16 will be different too
Oh whatever. We've been through this already. Xbox simply does BC better than playstation. Oh freakin well. Once the new gen games really start coming in I guarantee BC will fade away in the blink of an eye and beat of your heart. Stuff like this makes me wish developers would just take a big ol hiatus from making games cuz some of you people are very undeserving
A Pinocchio souls like. Such a silly idea is very welcome. It just looks so extra edgy and weird. Pinocchio looks unexpectedly cool and the voice acting is extra cheesey. I'm very hype for this. I'm down for anything that dares to be different nowadays.
I keep seeing this game everywhere and yet I have no clue what it even is. Is there even gameplay? Any articles saying what it's about? What are people so hype about?

Re: Nioh Dev's Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Is Getting a Playable Demo in the 'Near Future'
