I really like this remake and it's a shame it doesn't sold well enough to greenlight Medievil 3 or remake for the second game.

I think i have it at 78% complete and someday i'll get the platinum.

@Nyne11Tyme I don't remember Jason talked about that. I think you mistaken IGN article that claimed Neil pushed Amy and Bruce out from ND. That article already confirmed as pure clickbait without any solid source whatsoever by IGN writer.

I'm not gonna claim Neil as a snake just based on info from rumor monger like Jason Schreier who has mixed reputations when he worked at Kotaku for 9-10 years. People forgot Jason wrote plenty of slops and even defending mtx practice.

@somnambulance Funnily some people already not liking it despite they keeps asking for a new IP.

@Nyne11Tyme Neil didn't ruin Amy and Bruce.

I want this game to success and gets a couple more sequel. So hopefully the release date not in the same month as Phantom Blade 0, Wolverine, or GTA 6.

Playing a bit of:

• Suikoden 1 (Vita)
• SF Alpha 3 Max (Vita)
• Jetpack Joyride (Vita)

Have a nice weekend everyone 🍻

@UltimateOtaku91 Square really pumped out DQ like there's no tomorrow. DQ 1, 2, 3, and 7 re-remake back to back as well some spin-off.

The funny thing is when Square is falling behind and don't want to work closely with Sony anymore, Konami is rising up again and guess who's their close partner: Sony 😁

@cactuslick You're right. I just check the site and they listed Crimson Desert, 1348 EX Voto, Solasta II, and MH Stories 3 as their target.

Yes Square is full of crap with their multiplatform strats. But let them do whatever they want. If they think they don't want to work with Sony / PS anymore and see Nintendo or Xbox as a better partner then let them be.

Sony still have plenty of 3rd party they can partner with like KT, Konami, ArcSys, Acquire, Bamco, Capcom etc. It's not the end of the world for Sony if Square stop releasing their games on PS.

I personally not that interested with the current Square. The company output looks like a far cry compare to PS1 and PS2 era. Heck, nowadays they feels a lot more Enix than Square with the way they pumped out DQ games one after another and stay exclusives with Nintendo. Even Squaresoft IP like Front Mission got low effort remakes while Brave Fencer Musashi, Vagrant Story, Chrono, Tobal, etc are completely abandon.

Outside FF VIIR, KH 4, and possibly a new Nier, i don't see myself buying other Square games...

@LowDefAl "Can anyone clarify if this is playable single player?"

Similar to Tsushima Legend, Story missions can be played solo while Survival and Raid mode requires co-op.

@The-punishr Thanks for the info 🍻

This is kinda reminds me of that silly site that list "woke games". It's pointless but again anyone are free to make their own website 🤷‍♂️

If it's me, one of my bucket list is to make a gaming website that focus on educate and talks about games development or behind the scenes stuff like how to designed good level, gameplay, story, or characters. Or history for every genre like beat em up, shmup, FPS, RPG, survival horror, fighting etc and what gameplay mechanics they introduced for the 1st time. Or talk about motion capture in video games like what makes the tech impressive. Etc.

There's so many good stuff that can be talk rather than listing flop and woke games.

@Dan12836666 I love single player games but i also enjoyed live service games like fighting games. So instead of stop making live service games, pubs / devs should make better ones. There's a market for both single player and live service games.

Lolipop Chainsaw x Overlord vibe. It looks fun.

I guess Slitterhead sold well enough to recoup the budget and made some profit. I'm not yet played the game but it does looks interesting.

Vtubers is the current trend since they have big and diehard fanbase. Sony doesn't need to pay a lot for them to promote PS.

@INeedGoodGraphics The problems with Japan are very complicated from shrinking traditional home console market to weak Yen. For Sony, they can't rely a lot on Japan market anymore. Hence why they're focusing on bigger market like China, Korea, Asia, and the usual US and EU.

@Questionable_Duck Ok that makes sense why they are so similar.

@sanderson72 I don't think it has anything to do with Hermen. But more on Square president who seems blame FF 16 and Rebirth low sales numbers on PS5 exclusivity. He then promise Square will do "agressive multiplatform release" but somehow the action doesn't match with his promise.

Sony probably okay with whatever Square wants to do since they can find other 3rd party companies like Konami, Koei, ArcSys, Capcom, etc who wants to do a collab with them.

I'll wait for physical copy.

@Leonardo_Turtles This is a Marvel beat em up collection and Turtles is not Marvel. And if you want Turtles in Time both Arcade and SNES version then you should get TMNT: The Cowabunga Collection.

Square full of crap aside...

I used to owned a copy of Bravely Default 1 on 3DS. While the artstyle looks gorgeous and the turn based combat was quite fun although kinda basic and a copy of FF: The 4 Heroes of Light, the latter chapters where you must repeat the same quest, dungeon, and boss for at least 4 times to advance the plot and get true ending was super annoying.

I personally not gonna miss this game on PS5. Heck, i rather have a port / remaster of Vagrant Story, Valkyrie Profile Silmeria, Brave Fencer Musashi, or Front Mission 4 & 5 over this game.

@Dogbreath "I'd remind all the people on this board, about how you all cried and refused to buy an Xbox to play their top class exclusives, many of which like Forza Horizon you are absolutely loving now."

I never cried nor asked for any Xbox exclusives. In fact, i said Xbox should keep their exclusives.

"He was told that if these targets weren't met, the company would "lay off a thousand people, and that's gonna be on you."

Dang. I can't imagine how toxic and stressful Acti-Blizz working environment for devs, especially when the big wigs keeps breathing on their neck and threaten to layoff as well washing their hands from stupid decisions.

@Propaperpusher "it feels like Sony has stopped making first party single player games"

What a weird statement since this game is developed by Sony.

Nothing change for me.

I rarely buy digital games on day 1 unless i really really love what i see and the game quite affordable like i did with Rain, Hotline Miami, Shinobi: Art of Vengeance, and NG Ragebound. Outside that, i always wait big discount for digital.

"No one buying this on PS5"

Bold statement when Returnal sold around 2 million copies and only 165K copies sold for PC.

Saros probably will do the same if not better than Returnal, especially with the game looks more easier for casual audiences and it have a popular actor like Rahul Kohli to boost the marketing.

@Areus Yeah Kojima also a scaredy cat and years ago he said he doesn't want to make another horror game. But somehow he make OD and Death Stranding also have some horror / scarry aspect with BT's.

@GirlVersusGame Yeah you right they already did Jumping Flash.

@AdamNovice Not yet for Arc the Lad 1-3. But they already did Twilights of the Spirit.

Wild Arms had 8 games but i guess Sony only did 1-3 because they're the most popular and sold well. I don't remember about The Getaway using real shops or brands though.

As i remember Mikami also didn't like horror movies.

But a mode that tone down the horror? Well, that beats the purpose of horror game lol.

@zidane4028 Oh really? I didn't know this. But i guess that's also explain why Onimusha english dub sounds British 😁

@JackiePriest Yeah they said the budget was around $60 million similar to Tsushima and that alone was "cheap" for an AAA game. I guess since Yotei already profitable, Legend is like a bonus for them.

@AdamNovice Outside PS3 games and GoW, ICO, and R&C, i think Sony can still add Alundra 1 & 2 (2 was bad though), Arc the Lad 1-3, Wild Arms 4/5/XF/Alter Code f, The Getaway, and Jumping Flash.

If you want only PS classic then you should just buy them individually rather than pay $160 /year for PS+ premium. The cost isn't that different if one game price is $10-15 and you don't have to worry for subscription time limit too.

I think what Sag Aftra did is damaging a lot to the voice actors livelihood who joined under their flag.

Oh well. There are tons of talented non-Sag Aftra voice actors especially outside US and Capcom can hire them just fine.

SP could charge it for $30-40 but they did it for free. I don't understand how they gonna recoup some of the cost considering all contents are unlockable without paying.

I've bought Shinobi on day 1 and love it. Been waiting for Streets of Rage Revolution, Golden Axe, Virtua Fighter 6, and Alien Isolation 2. Don't care for Persona, Yakuza, or Sonic.

Also, i would pay for Sega Arcade Collection that have Spikeout, Die Hard Arcade, HotD, Daytona USA, Sega Rally, etc. But Sega is too stupid to realize there's people who will buy their arcade collection 🙄

I never sold with ray tracing. It feels pointless cause it doesn't add anything for story or gameplay and it also dragging down performance.

I'm pretty sure i've seen some people who complaints asked Sammy / PS to write review in progress for this game. But now they're complaining this review in progress doesn't have score? Lol you guys are so unemployed and maidenless 😂

Anyway. I see the game isn't beginners friendly and that's probably intentional to separate it from other extraction shooters. Although, i wonder if Bungie gonna bend the knee and tone down the difficulty to get more players...

@Korgon Yeah i remembered back when people keeps screaming SF V is dead after the bad launch. But Capcom fixed it and it stays on for 6-7 years with the final season was pretty solid. Now, we have some people claim SF 6 is dead just because DLC's costume got slow down 🙄

I'm not sure how on earth BotW always get credited for climbing mechanic with stamina when Shadow of the Collossus already did it years before it.

Anyway. SP did the right decision to scrap the mechanic. You don't want an open world samurai game got dragged down by rock climbing.

@opo02 My eyes slip. I thought this is from the same devs and turns out they're different but with the same first name lmao. PocketPair and PocketGame 😅

Last year Epic generated around $6 Billion revenue from Fortnite alone and that's not enough to pay the bills? Goodness gracious 😮

It would be a PR nightmare if they didn't withdraw the legal action. But this case add more negative rep for Sandfall. I hope next they carefully think their moves before they completely tarnished their "humble indie devs" image.

It's sad how people who doesn't like this game put soooo much energy to dunk and wishing it to fail on daily basis rather than just playing games that fit with their taste. I guess it's true they're unemployed and maidenless....

Smh. This devs is a masochist isn't it? They loves being sued by Nintendo 😅

@naruball Yeah maybe. And Nintendo is older than Sony too which i thought Japanese workers would gives more respect and positive words for Nintendo than Sony. But i guess i was wrong.

@Oram77 What i mean, i never see Japanese say bad things about Nintendo workplace or like they got unfair treatment. It's like the company have super clean and perfect image. And the ones who worked for Nintendo, not all of them for sure, possibly bought and loves Nintendo products too.

I'm surprised. I thought Nintendo would be no 1 with how Japan loves everything about Nintendo.

@cainhurst94 I'm not yet played Ada DLC and Village. But i played RE 5: Lost in Nightmares which was a very solid throwback to RE 1 while Desperate Escape was okay. And RE 7 Not a Hero and End of Zoe was quite fun.

Looks like my decision to wait for Gold edition is right. Well it's not like i can buy the vanilla game either since every retail in my country sold out all their stock.

@MrPeanutbutterz Yeah the way the hardcore fans acting like the game is super original and change the whole genre is obnoxious. I'm not yet played it so i can't say it's a mid game or not. Although i've said before it doesn't looks fun or interesting.

And what's with the the bland characters design? 😅. Even a two and half decades old game like Vagrant Story has better and unique looking characters design despite the graphic looks jaggies af haha 🙏

My condolences 🙏

The remake looks rushed because Sony wants it out quickly before the live action movie released.

On top of it, they used the problematic UE 5 when the original game already looks gorgeous and used Decima which is a better engine than UE 5. So i'm baffled why they didn't used Decima again.

Is it just me who feels this re-remake looks too clean / modern? The original game has that grainy early 2000's Japan horror movies vibe like The Ring and that was one of the biggest reason that makes Fatal Frame standout among other horror games.
