@Oram77 I think i will.

I'm excited for Onimusha: Way of the Sword and Nioh 3 despite over the years i already played a lot of Japan sengoku period + samurai games that looks and play similar.

But i'm not sure why you or some people in here shows negative reaction towards Chinese devs / games. Why are you complaining some Chinese games looks similar while ignoring the ones that looks and plays different?

And why Chinese devs can't have their own signature with Wuxia + classic ming / tang dynasty setting just like Japanese with samurai / ninja + sengoku / meiji setting or Western with cowboy & medieval setting?

Sidney is in? Well i guess i have two big reasons to watch the movie! 🤩

@Divergent95 What she does that made her a 'terrible person'? Does she killed babies and animals? 😆

Goof Troop was awesome. I owned Capcom Disney Afternoon Collection and a bit dissapointed it doesn't have Goof Troop. Although Dark Wing alone make the collection feels worth.

It's weird that Atari make these two games as Switch exclusive...

@Oram77 They used the same setting in classic China and Wuxia so obviously they have close similarities. It's like saying Call of Juarez, Red Dead Redemption, and Evil West looks similar because they used cowboy setting. But are all of them gonna played the same? I don't think so.

Blood Message and this game for example. The gameplay clearly looks very different. Blood Message looks more grounded with the combat + Uncharted adventure style while this one is leaning heavily on Wuxia style add with some fantasy of rewinding time.

Heck, this game and Phantom Blade 0 doesn't look the same from gameplay despite both lean heavily on Wuxia.

The thing is i think they still looks more fresh than the gritty-brown-military shooters that we got so many of them back in PS3/360 era.

@Silenos Yeah i remember when tons of games looks very similar with gritty-brown art style, generic soldier guy in the front cover, and FPS/TPS with regen health + cover based mechanic back in PS3/360 era.

Then people complaint they had enough of it and demand games to look more colorful. Now here we are with games looks more colorful, not FPS/TPS, not generic soldier guy, not cover based shooter with regen health, used Asian culture / setting, and we still have some people complaints 'boooo all these games looks the same!' lol.

I can only say good luck to the devs. But i hope they learn the lesson of how important beta test and players feedback for this type of game.

@Questionable_Duck "Sci-fi/cyberpunk would be good, too, I suppose"

• F.I.S.T: Forge in Shadow Torch and the prequel Zoopunk
• Anno: Mutationem
• Evotinction
• Hardcore Mecha
• AI Limit
• Parasite Mutant
• Will-Less
• Punishing: Gray Raven

Edit: oh wait, you want AAA so forget my list.

Graphic and combat looks solid. And i like the premise of playing as an ordinary boatman who forced to become an undercover agent, 'detective', and also martial artist.

I think this and Loulan are two promising games from China Hero Project. But the good thing is they not release this year or they'll lose the spotlight to PB0.

I'm...not feeling it especially with the character design and combat.

Rule of Rose remake? Lol nah. After the og got banned across Europe for stupid reasons, i doubt any devs wants to touch the IP and drag another controversy.

I really enjoyed the 1st game and the live act movie was great. So this one is on my buying list.

In the end, i think what Larian CEO asked is reviewers should level up and put more effort to produce fair and accurate reviews. The demands not just come from gamers side but also from developers side.

Heck. I think reviews can be educational too. I mean, a review that dive deep to the game design definitely looks a lot more interesting to read compare to reviews that just hovering the surface and write simple line like "graphic looks pretty" or "gameplay feels generic". But at this rate, i don't think i will ever see that type of reviews 😁.

@Drnsnsr Not just you missed my point but what's with this unnecessary personal attack?

I understand and pretty much agreed with his idea 🤝

We've seen some 'professional' reviewers came too personal and that leads them with yapping more about their personal politics rather than provide readers with solid, fair, and accurate information about the game like how's the level design, are the core gameplay really solid and fun, how long to finish the game etc.

Not to mention, a lot of reviewers got signed up for genre that they doesn't like or have little experiences. I've seen reviewers who clearly doesn't like or doesn't have enough knowledge for beat em up and character action game and they came up with bad / misinformative reviews. Case in point IGN God Hand 3/10 and SpikeOut 5/10 review, which gave a devastating effect for both games 😔. Oh, i almost forgot IGN Alien Isolation 5.9/10 review.

So, there should be a site that show good and bad reviewers. And the ones with bad track record shouldn't get review copy again 😊

It's kinda weird to see Silent Hill x Fatal Frame collab. But i guess it's nice to see survival horror games support each other.

@Krlozgod Well you're free to find a store that will gladly trade your flawless PS4 Pro + 1 controller with a brand new PS5 or hundreds of bucks 🤷‍♂️. I mean, the point here is Sony did have the trade in program.

@Krlozgod Go back to that site and read carefully the price is just an example, not the real value.

Beside, i don't think there's any sane gaming store who will accept a trade in & trade up for an old console like PS4 that has been used for years and they give you hundreds of bucks close to a brand new PS5 + $50 voucher lol.

But if your PS4 is rare / special edition + in very mint condition or brand new then i'm sure you could earn a lot of money.

@Krlozgod "If you are going to encourage PS4 users to upgrade at least offer them a discount or something"

They actually did with the trade in & trade up + $50 voucher program

I already put my og PS4 back inside the box. Mine is 10 years old and it deserves a long rest.

@get2sammyb Their digital release for PS store Asia also looks abysmal. So far they only released one game; Tomba 2 special edition.

I just watched a video about how messed up LRG quality and service over the years
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fjh5fitTKCQ&pp=ygURTGltaXRlZCBydW4gZ2FtZXM%3D

I hope more publishers choose company like Fangamer or iam8bit over LRG for their physical copy.

I think this game is cooked. Even dunkey video can't make it looks fun and interesting lol

@scottXedgar Crash Bandicoot, Jak, Uncharted, and TloU all have tight gameplay and mechanics. It's one of the biggest reason why plenty of people loves ND games.

But i get it. Nowadays it's trendy and cool to sh*t on ND.

Nice to see another beat em up sold well.

Wait, he's in Hawkeye and Daredevil Born Again? I watched both but i don't remember his character.

I don't hate it but i'm not interested to play it.

The future for this game looks grim though. I don't think there's any popular streamer who plays it. More reason why this type of game needs multiple beta test instead of rush it to release without any feedback.

@Batesy125s For Rival Schools, i think Capcom need to give it the same marketing effort that attract casuals like SF 6.

But again, i'm not sure if that enough to secure a success considering right now fighting genre is very stack. People usually stuck playing one or two games that have nice graphics, big playerbase, and good contents. It will be difficult for Rival Schools to come in and grab people attentions who already commit to just play SF, Tekken, MK, or KoF...

UE 5 is a failure and i think the majority of devs should abandon it.

Not a fan of MonHun but hey congrats to Capcom.

I wish other niche Capcom games like Darkstalkers, Rival Schools, Strider, God Hand, Haunting Ground, or Breath of Fire have the same popularity and sales numbers as MonHun...

This is probably the best looking game from Chinese devs that show off Wuxia at it best. So yes i'm hype.

@Neonix Disc isn't the only physical medium. There's also cartridge. PS Vita and Switch are portable and they can play cartridge. Even PSP also can play mini-disc (UMD).

But why are you so sure that the next PS portable can't play physical games? The rumor didn't say anything about the portable version can only play digital games.

Eh, it's okay. It's not like we badly need PS6 either when PS5 games are looks and plays great.

Looking good and it's nice to see Crimson Head mechanic again. It adds more gameplay depth and more reason to blown up the zombie head with a shotgun / magnum. But i wonder if lighter + gasoline also make a comeback.

@Thelegend159 Leon already John Wick zombies in RE 4 and CG movies before RE 6. He's been like that for years.

Possibly Take2 wants people to double dip buying both digital and physical. The ones who can't hold up will buy digital on day 1 then buy physical copy again. Fking nasty 🙄

"a convoluted mess of unresponsive third-person shooting"

Possibly because the PAL version only support 50 hz and run at 25 fps compare to NTSC version that support 60 hz and run at stable 30 fps. I played NTSC version and it's pretty responsive.

Anyway. The game isn't that bad and the hate is overblown. I personally give it a 6.5/10. Square learnt the mistake from it which is why Crisis Core was a lot better.

@Oram77 Yeah it's been like that for years.

I only played Watch Dog 2 and i really enjoyed it. It felt like a GTA clone but it has its own spin that makes it quite different.

I rarely see games with Italy 14th century setting. But for $25 this looks like a kinda decent indie game, at least it looks better than Code Violet at $50.

Saros and Marathon will get new trailer for sure. But it's about time for Marvel Tokon new characters trailer.

Good luck to the devs. I'm not gonna try it though, not interested with hero shooter.

But this makes me feel a bit nostalgic that I used to spent a lot of hours with F2P games like Ace Combat Infinity and Tekken Revolution back in PS3. I believe i also spent a couple of bucks to unlocked a costume for Hwoarang. But Bamco shut down the server for both games back in 2017/18 and all my progress just gone :/

The other F2P that i spent enough time was Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising (got ranked A-A+ with Gran/Djeeta), Dead or Alive 6 (got ranked B with Diego), and Rocket League.

@Rich33 From voice act alone, Carlos remake sounds better. He's more charismatic and likeable than the original which imho was quite bland and meme worthy 🙏. I don't blame Carlos original VA though since back in PS1 era there's not many company who really knows how to do good english dub like MGS 1, Soul Reaver, and Brave Fencer Musashi.

And from story pov, Carlos remake was better too. His character development, role, dialogues, and interaction with Jill was superior compare to the original.

I think the general consensus also agreed that Carlos remake is one of the brightest point for RE 3 remake.

As for your second reply, i completely agreed that Capcom shouldn't rush with these remake and i think they already learnt the lesson not to repeat their mistake with RE3R. We can see from RE4R which came out without cut content.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mhi5YsZdyCA&pp=ygUKQmVzdCBzaG11cNgG-xI%3D

Some thread on GameFaqs also have good reccomendations
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/264562-playstation-5/81015227

I don't know if there's a dedicated site for shmup though...

@Porco "an overrelience on remakes and sequels is quite boring, regardless of quality"

Can't blame Capcom since the majority of the fans are asking for remake and sequels and it showed in the sales numbers.

Meanwhile the ones who's asking for a new IP mostly didn't show up. I mean, Exoprimal was a big flop and Kunitsu Gami missed the target sales (only sold 500K copies) despite it's a very solid game.

We can also look back at other Capcom new IP from previous gens who also a flop such as Haunting Ground, Chaos Legion, PN03, Remember Me, Asura's Wrath, Dark Void, and Ghost Trick.

Like it or not, in the end the majority of these remake and sequels are making good money for Capcom which is essential for a game company to survive.

I hope Pragmata will sell well though because it looks solid. But i have a feeling it will not do well...

@Rich33 "Carlos in 3 remake, who was a big downgrade"

I thought Carlos 3 remake was a big upgrade compare to the original.

Only Rayman 1 and not a collection?

I got this plat. Sure it's not hard to get but it was a lot more enjoyable than Arkham Asylum plat.

@themightyant "Why would I go to Game and pay full £70 RRP when i could get it for £55 on one of the online stores AND have it delivered to my door"

This 🤝

Online stores like Amazon, Ebay, PlayAsia, Blibli etc are thriving on selling physical games for years and i believe they also didn't have retail store.

I've been spending some time with my PS3 slim for FF X HD and Fatal Frame II. But this afternoon, i can't sign in to PSN from PS3. It showed error and this error block me from playing any games, digital or physical which is weird. The error showed 'this game have time limit' and ask me go to setting and set the time clock based on internet, which also showed error. I wonder if Sony secretly turned PS3 into must online console with their latest patch or there's something wrong with my PS3 slim 🤔. Anyone in here experience the same with their PS3?

Beside FF X and Fatal Frame II, i'm playing Ys VII on Vita.

Have a nice weekend everyone 🍻

@HonestHick "But to think it’s not on its way out is a little silly to think"

No it's not silly. But it's silly to believe physical is on way out just because digital doing better. That just as silly as believing paper media on its way out just because there's internet.

"But it’s never making a comeback nor is it the mainstream way gamers buy games now and it hasn’t been for a while"

A comeback? It never left and it will stay for years either you like it or not.

"Don’t shoot the messenger as they say these are just the facts in dollars and cents."

Yeah lets ignore the facts that physical media is still making $Billion every year and have good demands. Lol you're a silly guy.
