For PS5 being readily available at RRP price and bundles starting to be discounted to be a good deal is certainly a positive sign.

Hopefully come November it will be possible to pick up a PS5 below RRP price.

Ultimately, Microsoft buy activation won’t make it for largest gaming company or platform holder in the UK. Therefore, this deal will not lessen competition between platform holders.

Microsoft statements about what they will do are irrelevant because regulators always assume you will do the most anti-competitive thing you can unless stopped.

@Grimwood This website covers topics as diverse as TV shows and firmware updates. If it’s coming out on PlayStation, it’s in scope.

It’s all entertainment why attempt to silo it?

@Gamer_Guy Yes but if you don’t own them you can still buy the discs, even if they’re delisted.

I don’t think they should do it. Dividing the attention of developers makes game production slower.

I would get one for the best experience like I did with the PlayStation 4 pro but I’d rather just stick with my PS5.

As for timing, if we assume the PlayStation six is in 2028. Then 2024 is the halfway point. The PlayStation four pro released in the first half of the PlayStation fours live. If it comes out in 2025 or later, it’s too late.

I’ll be playing Trails to Azure during the daytime and project zero: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse in the evening.

@belmont This game came out considerably before cold steel so anything in it would not be considered a spoiler.

Looks very like YS origins. That is a excellent game. I will definitely play this.

Code Vein is a game I considered buying multiple times but never did and now I don’t need to.

@riceNpea The planet may continue to be a ball of rock that exists regardless of what we do. But how we go about utilising its resources collectively will determine how pleasant it is for us to live on.

Making stuff from non-renewable resources, then throwing it away makes our situation imperceptibly worse. It is therefore in principle is something worth being annoyed about.

@Olskeezy There are still companies making new third-party controllers compatible with it. Some of which are of acceptable
quality.

I have a vague memories of enjoying the first one, but can’t really remember what happened. So maybe?

@NEStalgia They hired them for a week to write a concept. By the time they decided to approve it, the writers had been hired by someone else to write something else.

It’s fairly conventional wisdom to back your winners. Scattering low quality double A content seems like a strange approach.

@yohn777 Tokyo Mirage Sessions was changed for its western release.

Short of bolting on the entire game is credits immediately after the episodes credits you’ll never going to recognise everyone involved. I can see why they don’t though. You’d be there for awhile after every episode.

I’ve always wanted to play tales of destiny. But that’s based on it being the one that I haven’t played rather than knowing that it’s particularly good.

@NEStalgia @nessisonett In the market YoKai Watch and Pokémon are in release cadence does seem to be important. Spend a long time to release something of higher quality and your audience grows up and moved on. Getting it out frequently even if it means the game doesn’t look AAA seems to be a better strategy. Development hell does not a profitable company make.

Definitely deserves its place on the list. It’s second for me personally.

@Cyberpsycho This was originally a PSP game. The later cold steel games that released on the PS3 had 3-D graphics. If they
actually look better is debatable. The problem with taking 12 years to translate a game if it looks out of date when it comes out.

@Sil_Am There’s bound to be a third premium console at some point it’s capable of 4K, 120 Hz.

@IAmAshCohen17 Given that it’s going to be a Harvest Moon situation. I suspect some people will follow the brand rather than the game.

Then some of those people will probably think that FIFA is now bad and stop buying it rather than move to be new EA brand.

Embracer Group seems to have no problem, finding the money to buy studios, but when it comes to actually funding games. They seem to want them to look for external publishers.

Embracer Group looks more like an aggregation of developers and IP than a traditional publisher. It does fund and publish some games. But a lot of the time it seems to do contract work and produce game for other publishers.

@sanderson72 In the UK, you can also buy a PS5 with call of duty or horizon forbidden west. The forced bundles shouldn’t determine the relative sale position of call of duty and God of war.

I’m going to be watching it Friday evening, Since watching life with being basically not sleeping that night.

@ppitchfork In the long run yes. But that won’t apply to Diablo 4. Microsoft assimilates company slowly so I doubt it will change anything for PlayStation owners next year.

Impressively fast turnaround. I enjoyed last one so I’ll probably give this a go.

Mostly Valkyrie Elysium with a bit of shattered.

I know of people who do this in order to run the game off a external hard drive.

Maybe it would be a good idea for them to think about whether they had a use for the studio before they bought it.

I wouldn’t assume a digital code would automatically translate into a pre-order. The only time I’ve managed to get a digital code early what is Yooka-Laylee and that let me play the game early rather than turning into a pre-order.

Given that they send digital codes to reviewers. They would have to have a mechanism to distinguish between review and retail codes. If they wanted leaked retail codes to become pre-orders and not grant early access.

Can we lower the difficulty in this game after we started. The last couple of Star Ocean games I played I got stuck to difficulty spike. Then found I couldn’t reduce the difficulty. Without starting again and replaying about 20 hours of game.

I’ve completed zero already and it’s my game of the year so far. Looking forward to the next part.

Trails from Zero it’s my game of the year so far.

3 games I never would’ve bought but now might play if I have time. So a good month.

Since I am incapable of playing two games simultaneously I have no problem with this delay.

@Athrum Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII- Reunion is set to come out on the 13th of December 2022. Final Fantasy 16 is next year.

It seems kind of counter-productive to show Final Fantasy 16 again before Final Fantasy seven reunion it out.

@Sil_Am In the current supply constrained market Sony almost certainly could’ve sold about 30% more PS5 if they had half a GPU size. The problem is that enthusiasts with both would buy games on the series X as that would have a superior version of most games.

Having 2 skews is a mistake because it slows game development. In the long run a better product is probably preferable to a cheaper one even if it doesn’t feel that way due to the current crises.

I like diversity of experiences offered by multiple engines. Obviously unreal engine is customisable. But too many developers leave things on the default leading to similar looking games. They certainly need to experiment to confirm that they can achieve their vision properly with unreal engine before committing.

I personally don’t feel the need for persona five royal once more. But it always makes me happy when publishes make the effort to have a native PlayStation five version. Rather than just rely on backwards compatibility

I still have my GameCube copy so I might as well just keep that rather than buying an inferior PS4 version. It feels like it’s coming up on time for a replay soon. But this version probably isn’t the excuse I was looking for.

@Ooccoo_Jr Money. I’m sure they can see the player retention metrics for those who bought the game. Being free would only cost the publish money if no one sticks around long enough to buy anything.

They’re attempting to combine products for three different markets into a single live stream. This leaves most of the people bored most of the time. They should’ve probably split it between console/PC , Mobile and TV.

@TowaHerschel7 in a high inflation environment. All we can hope is the increase in prices is less than uplift in our wages. Unfortunately for me it’s gone up twice as fast as my wages so far.

If this project was an experiment to determine whether unity was a good match for SMT style games I think we can say this project shows it isn’t. That said I’m playing it on PS5 and enjoying it.

@Widey85 It draws 20 W less power. So they can remove that amount of cooling without affecting the performance.

I’ve had a look at a Screenshots and I prefer the PSP style on the PS4 to the switch style. Aesthetics are subjective and technically better is not what I like in this case. Probably because I played other games in the series and the older style lines up with what I’m used to.

I’ll be continuing to place Soul Hackers 2. I like the rhythm of the combat and I am enjoying the story.

But given how much exploration there is compared to story. i’ve been putting a podcast on in the background and pausing it if something story related happens.

Does it draw less power?
