Here's hoping that the "remaster via asset swapping" patent is at play here - as an option. Jim would do well to use the launch to poke some fun at himself for the GT2 comment he made a few years ago.
1,2,3 is how the original PS was marketed in Japan because it launched on 12/3. Push square should know this stuff. This is a lot of effort to tease an ad. Just sayin'.
P5S and Dirt 5 were two of my favourite games last year so it's a great month, even though I have them already. Not too interested in DRG but it seems like something a lot of folks will "dig" (not sorry).
@The_New_Butler I played these years ago and don't intend to again so I'm not looking for an upgrade. These games could be patched to get some upgrades but these are remasters though, and also being ported to windows. That's different and to me that means probable engine and asset changes that wouldn't be possible on PS5 with just a patch. Do I think a free patch would make some people happy? Sure. Do I think it's a realistic expectation or business decision? Nope. Peace.
My goto no-brainer suggestion is that, as each game becomes eligible to be a "Greatest Hits" title, it goes on PS+ a month or two beforehand. We should have access to all the greatest hits, right?
I'll likely give Hunter's Arena a try at least and I was tempted to buy Tennis World Tour previously but didn't so I'm ok with these even though I can see a lot of people being less than enthusiastic.
Just a quick thanks to all of these devs and also the ones that tried and couldn't make the deadline. It's the last trip to Vita Island, but it's a good one. Cheers!
Looking forward to a plague tale and a bit of solo black ops. WWE games are the kind of thing to have a bestie over and play drunk for laughs. All good.
@Col_McCafferty Was looking forward to TES 6. The only way I'll play it now is via GeForce Now after it's free on Steam or Epic stores (no Windows or Xboxes here)
A shame. I remember seeing the initial trailer and just shaking my head. I never liked Nights much in visual design or gameplay and this seemed to double down on some aspects but with characters that just aren't compelling at all.
@Snick27 No. The CPU is the issue. Watch the digital foundry comparison of PS4 and PS4 Pro. I'd get it for a high end PC or wait for next gen native versions. I'm waiting for PS5 and only after that version gets reviewed.
I always saw this as a very pretty, simplified Monster Hunter, similar to Dauntless, and I'm enjoying it. My only real gripes are that there is way too much loot, after the devs gave the opposite impression in interviews, and that the elemental aspects of said loot don't seem to matter like they do in Dauntless. I bought it knowing mostly what to expect and am having fun. I will likely sell it when done though.
The "no titles" thing is pure BS. It's like they copied the worst feature of the eShop. I can't read a lot of them (I'm on mobile 90% of the time) I guess they want sales to go down? Because that's what's going to happen here.

Re: Will Call of Duty and Other Activision Blizzard Games Come to PS5, PS4?
I don't buy from either company so no change here.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy Call of Duty: Vanguard?
No to Tencent
Re: Poll: Are You Happy With Your PS Plus Games for November 2021?
I knew we'd get Amalur eventually.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy Deathloop?
That first paragraph says it all. Way too hard sell. If I was interested, I'd buy it used since I have no money for M$.
Re: GTA 5 Fans Are Not Happy with Expanded & Enhanced's PS5 Reveal
I'm curious why they even bothered with the single player game when all they really care about is GTA Online

Re: Fans Ponder Whether There's an Upgrade Path for Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection on PS5
These games are 4 and 5 years old.
Stop expecting everything for free.

Re: Pigeon Dating Sim Hatoful Boyfriend Being Delisted from PS Store
Everybirdy should try it out. Quirky fun!
Re: Rumour: PS Plus June 2021 Line-Up Leaked Ahead of Time
Damn! Hope this is true! Great lineup!
Re: Epic Games Offered Sony $200 Million to Bring PS5, PS4 Exclusives to Its Store
I still don't understand why sony is spending time and money porting these games instead of promoting access to them through PSNow.
Re: Housemarque Acknowledges Request for Mid-Run Saves in Returnal
Not even considering a purchase until this gets added
Re: Housemarque Thanks Sony for Supporting the 'Very Risky' Returnal
#ArcadeIsDead came after Matterfall had a terrible launch. Glad to see Returnal getting good reviews, even though it's not my thing.

Re: Outriders (PS5) - Great Combat? That's a People Can Fly Game
Oh damn! I didn't realize these guys sold out to Epic. Oh well, scratch another Tencent game off my wantlist.
Re: PS Store Discontinues Movie, TV Rentals and Purchases in August
Sony just started a new UHD service on their TVs
Re: The Division 2's PS5 Graphics Issue Will Be Fixed This Week
Good to see this getting fixed so fast!
Kudos all around.

Habroxia 2 for Vita!
Re: PlayStation Network Pioneer to Leave Sony Interactive Entertainment
Maybe now they can get someone who knows basic e-commerce to run the store.
Re: Talking Point: What Free February 2021 PS Plus Games Do You Want?
We still haven't got Killzone Shadowfall yet.
It would be killer for Sony to hand it out with a PS5 patch and watch the sequel speculation fly ^_^
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Hovers Around 720p on PS4, Drops As Low As 15FPS
@Snick27
No. The CPU is the issue.
Watch the digital foundry comparison of PS4 and PS4 Pro.
I'd get it for a high end PC or wait for next gen native versions. I'm waiting for PS5 and only after that version gets reviewed.
Re: Poll: Are You Buying Cyberpunk 2077?
It would have been good to have an option for waiting for next gen version launch

Re: DIRT 5 Dev 'Not Happy' with DualSense Haptic Feedback on PS5
It's a great game. Glad to hear they want to make it even better!
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Will Let You Turn Off Nudity

Re: Talking Point: Which Free December 2020 PS Plus Games Are You Hoping For?
Is it finally time for Killzone Shadowfall so we can play it at a higher framerate on PS5?
We should have got it soooo long ago.
Re: Godfall (PS5) - Good Combat Means It's Not Godawful
I always saw this as a very pretty, simplified Monster Hunter, similar to Dauntless, and I'm enjoying it. My only real gripes are that there is way too much loot, after the devs gave the opposite impression in interviews, and that the elemental aspects of said loot don't seem to matter like they do in Dauntless. I bought it knowing mostly what to expect and am having fun. I will likely sell it when done though.
Re: The Godfall PS5 Trophy List Is the Stuff of Nightmares
For quantity trophies, it depends on how close I get naturally through gameplay.
Re: Poll: What PS5 Launch Games Will You Buy?
Spider-man Miles Morales
Dirt 5
Godfall
I would have bought Outriders as well if it wasn't delayed.
Re: WRC 9 PS5 Trailer Shows Next-Gen Rally Gameplay
I'll likely be playing Dirt 5 instead.
Re: Persona 5 Scramble Localisation in Doubt After Title Is Missing from Koei Tecmo Report
Hopeful for spring once the PS5 launch window ends. I played the Japanese demo and am really looking forward to this.
Re: The New PS Store for Web, Mobile Is a Dramatic Downgrade
@NeuralDeclan same here. I have to jiggle the screen to make it realize I'm on a phone.
Just sad.

Re: Godfall's Loot and Upgrade Systems Detailed with New Video
I'm really looking forward to this. Will play as soon as I'm done with Miles Morales.
