Wether Sony tones down sexy time fun time here, or CERO tones down gory time fun time in Japan, can we agree that censorship and stripping away choice over some sort of misplaced moral high ground sucks?

I gotta pay extra to Morb!?

They know what they’re doing.

It’s time to let Obsidian make another Fallout. Them + Double Fine are honestly the best developers Xbox has.

All he’s saying is that Gamepass grew the popularity a bit. Which makes sense since right around the series becoming multiplat it debuted on Xbox with gamepass and has consistently been on the service for 2+ years.

He isn’t discounting how 0 blew up in the West, followed by the remakes. This is mostly about PC and Xbox players. I’d also take the word of someone involved with the series over conjecture from users on a console specific website.

It’s so amusing that certain members of this community get up in arms over the games they love reaching a wider audience.

Just think, if only it weren't a PS4 exclusive a way better version would already be available on PC or Xbox because they actually bother to enhance their older stuff.

But i'm sure Sony will give it some texture and framerate updates to sell back to you for $70 as a 'remake' in about 2-3 years.

It’s okay when Sony does it

I mean, lots of people decrying cloud gaming, digital gaming, or saying just hook up your old ass PS3.

Meanwhile I can stick my 360 disc of Red Dead I got 12 years ago into my series X and play the way better version of the game with improved framerate, resolution and load times effortlessly.

Sucks to suck I guess.

I don’t know how people can stomach the glacial pacing or wonky off model animation of the anime. The manga however is a masterclass.

It really is a shame the PS3 was built so weird. But yeah, the big feather in Xbox’s cap for me is backwards compatibility, and examples like this are why.

Just because some of you don’t care about having older games available to play in a convenient and simple way doesn’t mean everyone is like that.

Nope, don’t believe it. No faith. Not until it’s in front of my eyes.

This makes so much sense to me. One is my favorite manga character of all time and the other is my favorite modern new video game protagonist.

Glad Insomniac is holding down the fort for Playstation. They’re pretty much the reason I’ll get a PS5 when this comes out.

…unless there’s a PS4 version 😉

@MUG3NHC it’s not pointless though, it largely exists to put on Xbox, PC, and Switch.

It’s a PSP and Vita game. I doubt there will be a difference between the PS4 versions being played on a PS5, and the X/S versions.

The tantrums and hypocrisy from Sony and Jim is getting pathetic at this point. Also love them complaining about anti-competitive practices that they themselves engage in with timed/exclusive content on a game incentivizing one version of a game on a different console over theirs.

Revisiting previous locations is nothing new for One Piece games, but I gotta give credit for how in depth this is. Cannot wait to play this game, and fingers crossed we revisit Water 7/Enies Lobby and we get some nice friendship moments with Usopp, Robin and Luffy considering how heavy that arc was for all 3 of them.

On an unrelated note, booked me and my friends tickets for One Piece Film Red next month, cannot wait!

Give it a few months and they’ll be remaking God of War PS4 next

The Dreamcast games are worse than games like Generations and Unleashed and I’m tired of people pretending they’re not.

Good, Nintendo and Xbox are vastly outpacing Playstation when it comes to indies so if they fix that it’s a step in the right direction.

This is my most anticipated game at the moment. Cannot wait.

I feel like they should’ve at least given Ichiban at least one more solo starring game before bringing Kiryu back, but I’ll see how it goes before rendering full judgment.

This is a brand new self contained story, though i'm not sure how much Oda is actually involved with it. He did design the characters and monsters though.

I'm cool with this delay, it's near the top of my list of hyped games, but it gives me a bit more breathing room.

Would probably be the best move in the long term, especially with how many titles they're putting out on both dated and modern hardware for PC, Playstation and Xbox.

Yakuza really is like a Dragon Warrior

Er…I mean Like A Dragon really is like a Dragon Quest.

It is a damn good time to be a Yakuza fan.

@Tharsman That I can agree with, SE are definite fans of whoever is giving them money to make an exclusive or timed exclusive.

@Snake_V5 You know there's plenty of SE games not only on Xbox, but on gamepass too right?

Hell, it has Octopath Traveller, an SE game not on Playstation. Pretty sure your claim of SE hating Microsoft and Xbox is bunk.

@Agramonte I'm really only missing Final Fantasy with my Xbox + Switch combo tbh, and considering my low opinion on that franchise for the past decade or so, that ain't much.

@WadeIsInsane I'm not really mad at Xbox for not making more JRPGs, if anything I want them to invest more in the IPs Rare has (which they've been doing, still looking forward to more on Perfect Dark) and get Obsidian making Fallout again. They're getting a lot of the JRPG multiplats, and what isn't on Xbox is more than likely on Switch and I can play it there. Also not mad about Sony moneyhatting Final Fantasy that much. If it were Dragon Quest, the far superior JRPG that was exclusive to Playstation i'd be more mad, but I haven't liked a Final Fantasy game since XII.

What i'm mad about is when people make broad claims about Xbox players as a whole not caring about a very popular game genre, and using it to complain about MS making games exclusive to their ecosystem in one breath, and justifying Sony doing it in the next.

@stvevan At the same time, them highlighting Persona on their big showcase floor and talking about bringing more Japanese games, and specifically more Japanese RPGs to Xbox shows that while they won't make them, they do see enough cause to have them on their systems because there are fans of JRPGs on Xbox.

@WadeIsInsane I feel the rudeness is warranted at this point. I see it all the time on this site "They took THESE games away from PS!"

"Okay, what about these games that were paid exclusives for Sony?"

"Oh, Xbox players don't care about that so Sony did no wrong."

The claims that X failed on Xbox CONSTANTLY with no form of proof, still waiting on that Yakuza proof by the way, the assumption about what an entire playerbase is made up of. Yes, Microsoft tried to go all in with JRPGs in the 360 era and failed, (which is a shame since Lost Odyssey is still one of the genres best) Xbone was a failure too, but with the Series S/X on the upswing, bringing in a larger install base (especially here in NA, Xbox home and the region it is most popular in, which few on here acknowledges when they bring up how great Sony is doing in the UK, AKA, the region they're most popular in.) It's not something that should be written off.

There's nuance to this, and seeing Sony fans gatekeep and say that JRPGs don't need to be on Xbox because the player base 'doesn't care' is not only false, but hypocritical for all those complaining about companies taking away games from other systems.

@OneWingedAngel Sorry, this isn’t about a JRPG selling more on the console with the far less install base, nor is it a sales game, the burden of proof is on the one making claims about an entire player base which I see people do multiple times on this site. You cannot prove Xbox players don’t play JRPGs dingus, that’s the point I’m trying to make, so stop making baseless claims.

@OneWingedAngel So a 6 year old article based on physical sales only in the UK from a game from the previous generation is why Xbox gamers now don’t play JRPGs, why Yakuza failed to sell on Xbox, and why it’s okay for Sony to moneyhat Final Fantasy?

Some proof you got, wow!/s

Again, Sony fanboys should stop making stuff up about the Xbox fanbase, it’s getting tiresome.

@OneWingedAngel If that’s the case, why did the latest Tales game release on Xbox? Or Soul Hackers 2? Why is Persona releasing on Xbox? Why are you bringing up games from two console generations ago when talking about Xbox players now?

And again, where is the hard proof of your claim that an entire player base that you just painted with a broad brush doesn’t play a very popular genre that’s only seen more and more releases on Xbox, like I’ve seen so many Sony fanboys do?

Oh, and I’d like proof Yakuza failed on Xbox too please. Failing a lack of proof, kindly stop making stuff up.

@get2sammyb I fail to see the ‘timed’ part with FF

@OneWingedAngel Again with the claims of ‘Xbox players don’t play JRPGs’ to justify when Sony money hats, and once more with absolutely nothing to back up the claim except a flimsy ‘if people on Xbox cared they’d be on Xbox’ as if it worked that way.

Feel how you want about the companies, but PS gamers need to stop making stuff up about Xbox players to justify what Sony does. Japanese games are put on Xbox constantly these days and yes, they do get played. And yes, Sony is guilty of keeping games from other player bases just like MS is.

@AdamNovice ‘timed’ huh? Right.

Well considering people like to say Xbox players are Dude bros or only care about FPS, it might be beneficial on MS part to have CoD be a ‘timed’ exclusive when that 3 years are up. Makes about as much sense as the FF deals.

@Omnistalgic The people on these sites seem more like sports teams yelling about their favorite plastic box than meaningfully caring about the industry on the whole tbh.

@AdamNovice Sick of this played out and false narrative perpetuated by PlayStation gamers that ‘oh, Xbox players don’t play X’. JRPGs release and get played on Xbox quite regularly now, most are multiplat except Final Fantasy at this point.

Before this comments section inevitably deteriorates into fighting over their favorite game playing box once more, I need to know…

Does anyone on these sites ACTUALLY care about Call of Duty?

One Piece FighterZ please and thank you

Most exciting character of season 1.

@Milktastrophe Played many, it’s my primary hobby, if a level is presenting a challenge that’s different than some digital checklist that says ‘collect ALL the silver trinkets that only matter for a trophy!’

I think trophy lists are a waste of time personally when I can just play the game to credits, play the entertaining bits, and move on without doing the boring crap.

@Milktastrophe checklists aren’t game content and I’m fine reaching credits without a digital pat on the back saying I did it. Though don’t let me stop you from collecting useless bits and bobs that are just there for padding though.

Imagine caring about trophies and achievements

I quite loved the original when I was 14.

Don't know if I should go for the remake though, 16 years on and I do remember the very frustrating difficulty spikes of this game. Including the last boss.

A raging experience like that sticks with you sometimes.

I don’t see this affecting either much game much. Pretty sure Sonic was gonna sell best on PC and Switch regardless.

This game looked good once they started showing the cyberspace sections, and the things they’ve been saying on the story with Ian Flynn from the comics being in charge have piqued my interest.

I’m pretty excited to see more tbh, though the initial reveal of this was very poor, I’ll admit that, some of y’all are too down on the cartoon hedgehog.

In a year where SE released Triangle Strategy, this looks like it comes up short tbh.
