@get2sammyb Yup only one volume. You're welcome 🍻

I just read the english scan and it's only one volume with 8 chapters. The artworks looks great with some action scenes from the movie looks more badass. Although i'm a bit dissapointed with the ending. I wish they expand a bit more with some epilogue.

I owned a complete set of RE: Marhwa Desire manga, which is canon and took place before RE 6.

Sadly my local book publisher didn't translate Heavenly Island manga.

I don't know if any of my local book publisher will translate Death Island. But i would buy it if they do since importing a book are expensive these days with the currency and tax 🫤

@RudeAnimat0r

Would a new IP from Insomniac sell? Yes, it would. Would it sell as well as Spider-Man? Of course not, but I was answering the question of what I would like to see them do, not what makes most financial sense for them

Are you sure people would buy Insomniac new IP when i just shown you track record of multiple commercial flops? Not break even, modest success, or reaching Spiderman numbers but commercial flops.

I would like to see them move outside of their comfort zone - I get that that won't happen as Sony's only AAA studio that releases games at a regular cadence.

They already tried moved outside their comfort zone like multiple times and it didn't work. People didn't show up for Fuse, Sunset Overdrive, Song of the Deep, etc. Even Resistance sold like crap. Now Insomniac are sticking with what works for them; superhero / Marvel properties and Racthet. This formula will not change until it stops working.

@ShadowRJ I'm sure those games can slot into top 10 PS1 games. I mean, they're quite unique on their own. And PS1 has like tons of great games to the point people have their own top 10 with some unknown or obscure titles in the list. I've seen some people put underrated games like Koudelka, Gallerians, Heart of Darkness, or Silent Bomber for their top 10.

And FF VII also has pretty bad translation like almost PS1 games from that era.

@RudeAnimat0r Will people buy the new IP? 'Cause last time i check, Insomniac created plenty of new IP before focusing on Marvel IP but most of them either a flop or pretty much forgotten by most people.

Like Sunset Overdrive for example which was a big flop and only made them $567 bucks.
https://www.levelup.com/en/news/insomniac-only-earned-567-usd-with-sunset-overdrive-an-xbox-exclusive/

Another big flop was Fuse under EA. Then there's some small and VR games that almost no one gives a damn anymore like Song of the Deep, Stormland, Edge of Nowhere, The Unspoken etc etc.

Even Resistance series wasn't sold that good with the last two final games Resistance 3 and Burning Skies ended as a commercial flop, despite the IP keeps being requested by some people in here.

In the end, Insomniac best and popular IP's are only Spyro which now owned by MS and Ratchet. But Ratchet has been squeezed pretty hard with 16-17 games (+1 Ranger Rumble still in development) in the span of two decades.

So...for now i think Insomniac did the right thing on focusing at Marvel properties and Ratchet once in a blue moon.

I get it Spidey, Venom, and Wolverine will print $$$$$. But i wish someday Insomniac would work on unusual / underrated superhero like Moon Knight. Or maybe Green Lantern, if they can get the license from WB/DC, which i think GL fits perfectly with Insomniac games that focus on creative weapons / gadget.

@ShadowRJ

I agree with you on the PS1. Sony didn’t have a bad first party lineup, but Parappa, Ape Escape and Gran turismo 1 and 2 were the only games that stand out as the system’s best.

Wild Arms, Legend of Dragoon, Alundra, Twisted Metal, Omega Boost, Syphon Filter, Medievil, Wipeout, and Legend of Legaia wasn't a stand out for you?

It's saturday 7 am in my timezone. So i'll play:

• Doom 3 BFG edition / PS3
  I'm enjoying Doom 3 slowly like finishing one or two level per day. Currently at level 11 communication tower.
• Sonic Wings Special / PS3
  I need some dose of good ol shmup :3

Also, watching Lanterns and Batman: Knightfall part 1. DC are knocking out of the park with the show and animation. And i didn't know Aaron Pierre is a Brit. He did a great job as John Stewart 🫡

Have a nice weekend everyone 🍻

Good news for Tokon in the US but i guess Europe aren't a fans of Marvel fighting games?

Also, Tokon only sold less than 3000 copies in the first week in Japan.

That 10 minutes of FF VII Revelation gameplay isn't in the top 5 most viewed videos? Wow i'm shocked. Like what happened? Did people lost interest with the game or what? 🤔

Anyway. From 5.1 million views to 2.9 millions views is pretty significant drop. I think safe to say the culminations of Sony unpopular decisions like killing physical games then goes long silent before came out arrogant "it's not gonna affect our business", closing down PS3+Vita store, closing down Bluepoint studios, removing purchased movies from customers library, heavy focus on live service games etc are starting to show some effect on the brand status.

That said, despite this SoP has some interesting new IP's like Rhapsody in Scarlet, Uncanyon, Daba, and Where the Seeds Fall, overall it was a pretty mediocre show.

I mean, started the show with Resident Evil movie trailer instead a game was a lame decision. Then wasted time on selling an expensive Lego PS1 brick and GTA 6 controller is just like come on man. The western side ended with a whimper with 10 minutes of FF VII Revelations that looks eh for me and also comes with the facts: if you want complete experiences then you need to pay more for two story DLC + still need to download a huge chunk of the game because it's only one disc.

@TheDarts For the note, i don't hate Pro Evo. In fact i'm one of longtime fans since International Superstar Soccer and Winning Eleven era. But i feel the franchise already left the glory days long time ago and the current Konami doesn't have the right talent to revive it. I mean, just look at how bad eFootball is.

So, it's okay if Konami took a detour with new IP's until they get the right talent to revive Pro Evo.

I like the simple but interesting idea of heading down the terrain. And it's only 3 hours long too which is a good fit for me who's tired with a lot of games these days that got unnecessary bloated and overstay their welcome.

@TheDarts I'm glad Konami didn't make another Pro Evo and decided to invest on new IP like this and Rev Noir.

This controller should be digital only 😄

@belmont I believe games that released in 2027 still can get physical release in 2028. But like i said, if Revelation didn't receive Intergrade / Complete edition then i'll get a second hand copy or maybe i just skip it and spend my money on other physical games. Beside, i already owned FF VII on PS1 and i feel i'm losing a lot of interest with this remake trilogy.

@Gunbeld Nice info 🤝

Tibetan mythlogy is really interesting and i wish more games / movies / anime use it. One of my favorite manga, 3x3 Eyes or Sazan Eyes, heavily used Tibetan myth such as Three-Eyed deities / Sanjiyan Unkara and Kunlun. Although the author mixed it with Hindu and Chinese myth.

I think i'll wait for "Intergrade" edition like they did with Remake and i bet there will be Trilogy bundle edition too. Just like Atlus, Square loves to re-release with complete edition and bundle.

But if there's none then i'll get it second hand. It's not like i'm hype with the game.

@FreasurePlanten

Where is Laufey? Intergalactic? God of War Remakes? They really need better PR rn.

• Laufey already got 20 minutes of gameplay demo + devs interview back in SoP June. It probably will have a dedicated showcase next january.
• They already said GoW trilogy remake development is still early. So we will not see it for a couple of years. At this rate it's safe to a assume they're aiming to release it for PS6.
• Intergalactic just wrap up all mo-cap session. Maybe we will see in december SoP?

@Grumblevolcano I don't think it's Sony fault since the same case happen for Xbox version and Switch 2 version is game-key card.

@Grumblevolcano That sucks. They didn't bother use two disc like they did with Remake and Rebirth. And then there's two DLC not in the base game.

@ElPenitente

Why does China only know how to make one type of game?

You can check these games:

• Into the Breach
• FTL: Faster Than Light
• Xun-Yuan Sword
• Wondering Sword
• Hardcore Mecha
• Anno Mutationem
• Honkai Rail Star
• FIST: Forged in Shadow Torch

The first time i watch this i thought it's For Honor sequel.

Barbarian and Weapons was great so I have faith with Zach Cregger.

But, as much as this movie looks promising for me and i get it Sony wants the synergy between Sony Pictures + SIE, started SoP with a movie trailer is just a really lame decision.

I'm not yet played Exodus but is this one still Artyom or a new protag?

@Atreus97

Something darker, grittier, and I guess less 'modern Marvel'. Watch the initial teaser trailer from 4 years ago, then watch everything they've shown since

The initial trailer, you mean this one?
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AF_f8kl8lJQ&pp=ygUbV29sdmVyaW5lIHBzNSBmaXJzdCB0cmFpbGVy

The initial trailer doesn't look "darker and grittier" and the current trailer still have the same vibe. I think you mixed up with Logan movie.

@Krlozgod There's Psylocke in the trailer? I've only catched Jean Grey, Mystique, and Lady Deathstrike.

Is this the first time for a Gundam story / game where they fight big kaijus?

It looks unique for sure although i'm not that good with puzzles.

Yeah this is the highlight for me. It kinda reminds me a bit of Folklore.

Rhapsody in Scarlet is the highlight for me. 1920 New York with jazz, mafia, and magic looks pretty fresh. I think Konami have a potential with this game.

But there are others that catch my eyes like Uncanyon, Rev Noir, Daba: Land of Water Scar, Slash Zero, and Where the Seeds Fall.

Funny i just finished Dino Crisis 2 on Vita like two months ago. Definitely will get it again since it's free.

Is there a solid reason why they can't put these two DLC in the base game?

They made mistake of showing the monster / creature at the end of the trailer, which i hope they have some twist.

I'm surprised that i got bored watching the 10 minutes gameplay despite i enjoyed Remake (not yet played Rebirth).

Something really turn me off. Maybe because those gazzilions of icons filling up the map / screen? Or maybe i'm just had enough of FF VII? Hmmm.....

SoP western was kinda okay borderline mediocre, i give it a 6/10. But SoP Japan was pretty nice, i give it a 7.5/10.

This is just me but i'm more interested with Rhapsody in Scarlet over FF VII Revelation. 1920 New York with mafia, jazz, and magic feels pretty fresh idea for a Japanese game.

@CielloArc Yeah i believe he was a member of Team X and X-Force, both team deal with spec ops / black ops missions.

@Leinad7 Silent Hill 3, 4, and Homecoming took place outside Silent Hill.

The lore has been set since Silent Hill 3 that the supernatural phenomenon can manifest outside the cursed town.

@TheDarts

Wolverine and stealth? No thanks.

Stealth is one of Wolverine bread and butter. In the comic he trained under a master ninja name Ogun.

@TheDarts

I think the combat in this game is going to be very repetitive considering Wolverine doesn't use gadgets to mix things up.

In the comic he sometimes used swords and guns.

And the last gameplay video showed environmental takedown and stealth. I say as long as the core combat is solid with a good variety of enemies type including interesting bosses, the combat would be fun from start to finish.

Unlike in fighting games, i bet parry in this game will be easier to do for everyone including the ones who sucks at timing.

@ShadowRJ Nothing in the article that said only apply for people who spam customer services.

Holy s* Sony goes nuts!
https://www.polygon.com/ps5-disc-sony-harassment-policy-digital-games/

Sony really want to completely burn the last goodwill they have with long time PS fans who prefer physical over digital.

I don't have any prediction nor expectation. But can i get Alundra 1 and Legend of Legaia port? Although, i wonder if Sony still remember they owned both IP's...

@tameshiyaku

Japanese games are keeping this gen alive imo.

This gen has plenty of very solid games by western devs. And for Konami case, their games like SH 2 remake, SH Townfall, and Castlevania Belmont Curse are also developed by western devs.

Most people will not read that longass EULA pages just to find out that they spend money for a temporary license to play a game. They only understand if they spend $50-100 that means they buy + owned the game, not renting.

But this is why digital only future is wrong and sadly a lot of gamers agreed with that sh*tty future. They're okay losing buying options and spending $80-100 for a temporary license that can be revoke by publishers anytime they want.

sigh...

Can i expect a remaster for Mega Man Legend or some cult classic like God Hand, Haunting Ground, or Viewtiful Joe?

8 pm for my timezone. Hmm, maybe i'll watch it...maybe not.

@Sonofken I believes some of SE games like Dragon Quest and Octopath sold a lot more on Nintendo than PS.

And after SE president blame PS5 low install base for FF XVI & Rebirth missed target sales which leads to their full multiplatform route, SE games was completely absent at SoP February and June but they appeared at two Nintendo directs. It gave the impression that SE are done with Sony.

@DadJKP I'll tell an easy solution: if someone feel TloU 2 killed / burned every last hype and interest towards ND then it's time for them to move on from the studio. Just walk away and no need to look back while keeps acting as if ND slaughtered their family or forced them to vote for a dictator who bombed hundreds of innocent children.
