And nothing of value was loss. Imagine spending hundreds or thousands on this game, and now it's all going to be useless. That's what you get for ever investing on any WB games.

Oh man, I really hope they do and make it stay permanently. I haven't changed my PS5 boot from the OG PS at all.

The nostalgia hits every time I boot my PS5 is f'in awesome.

***** finally! SEGA took way too long to do anything with this IP and it still has one of THE best airship turn based combat in any JRPG ever.

Really really high hope for it to be a remake instead of just a remaster, but I'll be happy with either regardless.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins still.

Really need to finish this before Phantom Brave next week.

Anyone who's been paying attention knows that the Console Wars has been over since Q3 2024 with their ongoing failure to penetrate the Asian market.

So this news is just the additional white flag cherry on top of the cake.

And as a PlayStation owner, I don't know how anyone with with a PS can be starved with games these days (even in 2024). Unless of course, they're just being dramatic for no reason but being antagonistic or craving for attentions.

February is draining my credit card man!

Absolutely loving this game—it's a brilliant blueprint for the future of DW titles.

• The new warzone map is excellent, especially during those intense clashes with massive armies.
• Combat animations are incredibly fluid, and the combat arts for each weapon are among the best I’ve seen in the series.
• On that note, The Wanderer’s ability to use multiple weapons feels seamless. Each weapon type is distinct enough that having just one playable character doesn’t feel like a drawback. In fact, it fits perfectly with the story's focus on The Wanderer.
• The new Musou and True Musou attacks are phenomenal. Even after countless uses, the adrenaline rush hits every time that cinematic plays. The close-up face shots add a real weight to the attack.
• The officer bond mechanic is vastly improved, with dialogue that adds depth and context to the war and the state of China during that era. For the first time in a DW game, I actually struggled to choose a faction to serve. The emotional weight is real, and the RPG elements here shines - I wished they gave your character choice more impact though.
• The one-on-one duels are a standout, now featuring perfect parries and dodges. The combat system strikes a great balance—easy to learn but deeply satisfying to master. Parrying Lu Bu’s halberd strike and countering with your own well-choreographed martial arts never gets old.
• On my PS5, the game runs buttery smooth at 60+ FPS. I’m using a TCL TV with a 144Hz refresh rate, and even in Chapter 4 where the combat starts to involve more and more massive armies clashes, I haven’t noticed any frame drops.

Now, a niche detail I personally loved: the "Bromance of the Three Kingdoms" vibes. Almost every warrior seems either determined to keep The Wanderer or marry him after the war. Some of the max bond dialogue had me blushing, especially Lu Bu’s... less-than-subtle interest.

If there’s one downside, it’s that the mini-battles can get repetitive, and the medium skirmishes are too rare. But overall, this game is a return to the classic DW 1 v Many experience that I love with an added narrative depth, and I couldn’t be happier they released it.

I am so ready for this!

Did they show you more of the RPG aspects during the demo? skill points? gears stats? all that good stuff?

I skipped Mirage because they went away with the RPG stuff that I enjoyed from Odyssey and Valhalla.

Why is this even news? Can you just stick with the higher standard news and reporting that we used to expect from this site?

I really wish we can block some of your staffs so I don't need to read unsubstantiated rumours like a cheap tabloid gossip, that's not what I'm here for.

MiHoyo's 2024 financial report showed a monthly average revenue of $633 million per month.

$20 million one time fine is a chump change for them.

Is this $100 for the base game??? then ***** no.

But $100 for digital deluxe or whatever with early access, sure.

Yup, just finished the Yellow Turban chapter. Absolutely one of the best Dynasty Warriors entry to date, especially once you hit the massive warzone. It's like a great crossover between OG DW and Total Wars. Having 10,000 units on the map clashing with each other managed to bring the chaos of war while still keeping the frame rate above 60.

One of the best and smoothest combat in the franchise too, absolutely love the change in musou and true musou attack to give it more gravitas.

"Are you looking forward to Trails through Daybreak 2? Will you give the demo a shot?"

Yes! and Absolutely hell yes!!

I'm just so happy that NISA is catching up on Trails localization and I honestly can't wait till Kai made its way to the west too!

FALCOM SUPREMACY!

Huh? Nintendo never attempted to compete with PlayStation ever, and not that ever need to.

They're doing well with their own games and market share.

Absolutely the right move.

After spending a significant amount of time with this game, I can confidently say it’s one of the best Dynasty Warriors experiences I’ve had (and I played all of them)

The combat feels buttery smooth, and seeing over 100,000 characters on screen without any frame drops is nothing short of impressive. The character interactions are engaging, the new overworld map movement is a welcome addition, and the RPG elements with skill points add a refreshing layer of depth.

While this isn’t a numbered entry, it’s a true single-player RPG, and Omega Force never marketed it as part of the main series.

Still, this game marks an incredible return for Dynasty Warriors. I really hope they use it as a blueprint for future numbered titles and the Empire series, because it’s absolutely phenomenal.

I couldn't get over how much of a clunky mess the first game was, literally quit as soon as I hit the first castle. Probably won't be picking this up.

That's a headline I never thought I'd read ever.

Yes, I will still buy a PS6. Unless Sony started to magically somehow managed to reign in all the JRPGs studio to also release their games day 1on PC, a PlayStation will still forever be my JRPG go to gaming system. Even if I own a beefy PC to play other games with.

Preloaded with early access, can't wait to jump into it tonight!

The Black Flag sequel we never know we needed.

Damn, RGG studio really cooked with this one.

The bitter irony of a series built on critiquing capitalism’s excesses being reduced to a tool for corporate gain is almost laughable. Instead of a coherent, self-contained story, we’re left with an unfinished tale, a dangling thread that screams “watch the next installment” rather than providing any real closure.

Squid Game has lost its edge, trading its incisive social commentary for the empty spectacle of a franchise being milked for all it’s worth.

@Shinnok789 This.

I do the same way, always been a rest mode for both my PS4 Pro and PS5 ever since it was introduced and have had no issues whatsoever. The remote download command when I bought my games online was more useful to me and that can't be done when my console is fully turned off.

@Jay767 Sony making millions despite him in his role. His first few days also cost Sony milions because he was the biggest supporter of Live Services and pushing trash like Concord as the next "PlayStation evolution"

Herman Hulst needs to go.

Maybe another million dollar loss would see him finally axed.

Are we finally out of beach episode???? Are we????

I can't believe I'm actually saying this, but, Zenless Zone Zero.

The game is much more fun being played on a PS5 and the new update is awesome.

I got the Christmas off last year so I'll be working this year since our IT team is 24/7.

Then again, I'm a remote worker so I'll be gaming anyway.

Sony is not leaving the console market any time soon if their hardware sales are any indication.

Microsoft however...

Push Square needs a feature to allow users to mute certain topics so I don't see this tabloid gossip level of "news" on my feed this early in the morning.

And going through the comments on these where people are calling each other names already breaking the comment section rule, you got your toxic engagement. Congratulations.

How do I block Push Square writer?

I love Falcom but this is not cool. I kinda expected this move from ATLUS but not them. The only saving grace on this news is the fact that I haven't purchased the original YS yet because of Metaphor (ironically), so I guess this is a welcomed news too.

@ChrisDeku It's the same combat from Daybreak.

Falcom's first ever simultaneous global release!

With the eventual remake of the other 2 Liberl arc, all Trails of Heroes games are now on a modern platform. I wonder if they'll extend the remake to Crossbell arc too.

Marvel Rival has 0 barrier to entry in its free to play model. People can just jump in and out of the game to play a quick match with no risk.

Add that to the powerhouse that is the Marvel brand, you'll get this winning story.

The game is actually so much chaotic fun that I haven't had the joy of playing in a while. I don't really care about the competitive aspect and ranked match, but rotating my favourite heroes and listening to their banters before the match begins actually gave me joy.

And that's what video games are supposed to do, isn't it?

We should include Spellbound on that list too. I was really looking forward to this Harry Potter inspired RPG and it just...never been mentioned ever again.

Project Century took the top cake for me. It's kinda unfortunate that this might be because Kimura was so done with Judgment series and are not renewing his contract. Judgment was a great side game for Yakuza universe because Yagami was a civilian. So you see a different side of the world compared to when you play as Kiryu (like the School Story was really great in Lost Judgment).

And after Cyberpunk 2077 disaster and how they lied about it, I'm not really hyped at all with Witcher 4. The studio is dead to me.

My answer for not watching reason of "I really hate Geoff's face and everything he stand for on his show" is not on the list.

@Deoxyr1bose exactly! Marvel already has a strong brand power backing it. Add the $0 price tag that effectively eliminate the biggest barrier to entry for most people, of course it's going to explode.

And Concord also had the audacity to put a price tag on their product when Rivals know that it needs to be free in these days and age.

Man I love Hoyoverse games but he's not really answering the question about balancing time commitment between their own games.

I dropped Honkai 3rd Impact when I started Genshin, and I dropped Genshin when I started Honkai Star Rail. Their games demands your time and the absolute grind that comes with it even as a paid player. One of the scummy practice I dislike from Hoyo is the fact that their Monthly paid pass currency does not get collected if you missed a log in. Unlike other games like Nikke or Azur Lane where your monthly pass premium currency is still delivered to your inbox even if you're not logged in. So you never feel like you're punished for missing a log in day.

This is not the case for Hoyo games, and as someone who tried their ZZZ during the first week of launch, I won't be leaving Star Rail to start ZZZ any time soon just because of the sheer amount of time and money investment I already spent on Star Rail.

That's the point he was missing with that question.

As it should NOT be. Good job, BAFTA!

Nope. I got the first game on Steam with a deep discount and asked for a refund after trying it. It was a buggy mess with one of the worst game mechanics I've seen in any game ever.

Good for you if you like that type of game, that's not for me. Life's too short to waste on a frustrating games like these.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!! what a clown show. I know it's Player's Voice or whatever but what the ***** is that list??

1 DLC, 3 F2P Gachas, and only 1 original IP new game??

I'm embarassed to be sharing the same entertainment space with these people who voted for those to have them made it to the final...

Imagine the sheer arrogance of thinking Black Widow is ripping off Widowmaker.

STFU Mike.

There should be an option for "Yes, but only for 2 hours then I uninstalled it"

Slow, tedious, boring, and they basically took everything that was great about POE and turned it into this garbage mesh up of Souls-like game ARPG no one asked and somehow managed to make the loot system also trash. I ran a dungeon with absolutely 0 drops for a full 90 minutes, not to mention boss fights that are 70% dodge roll with clunky mechanic that just doesn't work with a top down camera like this game. This is also probably the first ARPG I've played where your character somehow felt weaker as you leveled up because how your skill level is tied in to the loot RNG drop that never seems to be in your favour. Just plain not fun.

They keep saying end-game is where the game really shines, but when it's a slog to get there, no one will experience endgame. Diablo IV finally learned this and made early leveling faster, even Last Epoch knows this and made early leveling faster. Who actually asked for this game to be a Dark Soul mashup?

I want an ARPG because I sucked at Souls games, so I avoid those games or anything that pretended to be one.

They had a winning formula with POE and somehow they managed to ruin that with this Dark Souls wanna be game with one of the worst skill systems in any ARPG I've seen.

I'm going back to POE.

Definitely expected this, soured but I'm also glad for their success being one of the last few really transparent studio that connects with their players.

@themightyant Sorry but in the world where BAFTA exists, in what way is TGA celebrate games and game makers?

The show spent 90% of its time for advertising, celebrities cameo that has nothing to do with games, and the audacity to push Award Winners off-stage during their acceptance speech. How is it celebrating them?

"Members of Geoff circle-jerks are saying that the next circle-jerk is going to be awesome!"

Can't wait to catch-up on all the reveals from the studios own YouTube channels after the clown show. This guy is not getting my engagement anymore. After last year, TGA is an insult and an embarrassment to gaming.

Yeah after the beta and the abysmal launch quality for Dragon's Dogma, I'm gonna sit and wait for this one.
