Was going to a preorder, but them forgetting to put the game on the disc has made me decide they don't deserve my money, so I'll get it used. Looks great though.
@GirlVersusGame @GirlVersusGame Because I think Intergalactic is just a cheesy word to name an IP, regardless if it's relevant. If you think it sounds good, power to you.
That's such a Sony thing to do, realising they haven't made a LBP/Sackboy game in a while, so remove Sackboy from the opening instead of giving us new content.
Isn't that the second price increase this generation? Weird how USA isn't listed, I wonder if they're getting an even worse increase. Also strange that the disc drives consoles aren't affected in Europe.
@nomither6 Didn't play lots of the MP, but the only only problem I really had was quick matches and long wait times. Other than that it offers way more than MK8 in terms of single player content.
Unbelievably happy that this is still happening. The J-horror vibe is awesome, and the good reviews of Silent Hill 2's remake, and the creator for this game's previous work make it look promising.
Bit concerned there's no release window after 2.5 years, but I'm excited regardless. Hope it turns out well.
@get2sammyb It's kind of worrying/frustrating because it just seems like Sony is barely making any 1st party games this gen. At least there was tons of good first party stuff.
@themightyant I agree it was pretty solid. Wasn't exactly blown away (as per), but that was quite a bit of stuff shown that interested me. Particularly Tides of Annihilation, Stellar Blade DLC, Darwin's Paradox, and finally a release date for Lost Soul Aside.
Some seemed fairly logical, but I'm pleased considering I started the series fairly late, have only played any of the games once, and haven't really played any spin offs.
@MrPeanutbutterz Those are all absolutely fair points. My favourite Platinum is CODWAW, because it was very challenging but straight forward and really rewarding. Astro Bot is also great for this. And 100%, MP and trophies don't go well together, unless MP trophies aren't required for a Platinum.
@MrPeanutbutterz Thing about boring trophies is that you can ignore them if you're not going for the platinum. In any game you choose how many trophies you want to go for, and what game you want to Platinum. If a trophy list is fun enough, then I'll try, if it looks tedious then I'll just play the main game and maybe get some trophies along the way. Either way, having a game isn't necessarily worse off for having boring trophies. I completely some trophy lists need to be revamped, but that doesn't mean trophies are inherently a bad idea.
@MrPeanutbutterz Gotta disagree. Trophies can provide great replay value and some fun challenges to games. And of course they completely optional. Also provide a consolidated list of all the games you've played.
@themightyant "if remaster naysayers "like first-party's output, the big single-player games, they should support Hermen doing these porting and remasters so that he can keep investing in these great new games".
The problem I have is that this quote makes it sound like Playstation is some charity, and buy remasters solely to allegedly fund new games that are not guaranteed, instead of buying a game based on it's merits. If an individual wants to buy a remaster fair enough, but any notion we're obligated to is silly.
Absolutely not. I've got to have a very good reason to buy a game I already have. Any idea that we're obligated to buy remasters that they're essential is laughable. I prefer playing the original versions anyway.
Make new games, and I'll buy them. I love Yoshida, but this isn't a good take.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing DOOM: The Dark Ages?
@GirlVersusGame Snap, for the most part it is absolutely my type of game. But I can't support companies giving out blank discs.

Re: Even More PS5 Price Increases Being Considered by Sony
When they say producing PS5s in the USA, is that an additional factory in the USA, or will that involve giving up on global factories elsewhere
If that latter, that's a slimy move.

Re: Intergalactic PS5 Star 'Bootcamp-ing' with Neil Druckmann to Ignore the Haters
Too early to say how good the game will be, but honestly the worst thing so far is the title. It's really cringey.
Re: Reaction: Game Key PS5 Discs Are a Disgrace, and Sony Should Put a Stop to Them
It infuriates how people defend this. "PhYsIcAl Is DyInG AnyWaY".
Yeah, because publishers seem to be doing everything they can do make physical copies as worthless as possible.
Re: PS5 Fans Furious As Microsoft Ships DOOM: The Dark Ages with Just 85MB on the Disc
The game looks great, but this is a massive turn off from me getting it.
Re: Poll: Are You Hyped for GTA 6 After Trailer 2?
I have zero interest in GTA, but power to the people that do.
Re: EA to Properly Reveal New Battlefield Game This Summer
What are the odds it will be broken and full of bugs.
Re: Poll: Are You Disappointed by the GTA 6 Delay?
Not personally interested in GTA.
Bet game devs who are releasing a game this year are jumping with joy, and those releasing a game next year are snapped.
Re: LittleBigPlanet Erasure Continues as Sackboy Removed from PlayStation Productions Logo
That's such a Sony thing to do, realising they haven't made a LBP/Sackboy game in a while, so remove Sackboy from the opening instead of giving us new content.
Re: Nintendo Is Losing Its Identity, Says Ex-PlayStation Boss
I don't disagree entirely, but it's ironic that the ex boss of Sony is calling out another brand for losing it's identity.
Re: There's One Positive for Physical Fans Amid PS5's Price Increase Chaos
It's a weird day when physical media isn't screwed over and digital media is.
Re: PS5 Price Increases Announced by Sony, Affect UK, Europe, and More
Isn't that the second price increase this generation? Weird how USA isn't listed, I wonder if they're getting an even worse increase. Also strange that the disc drives consoles aren't affected in Europe.
Re: Poll: Are You Planning to Buy Bungie's Marathon?
It looks like it good be interesting, so I'll keep an eye on it. It can't sell any less than Concord.
Re: The Last of Us Has Been Released on PS5 Again, with a New Physical Collector's Edition Coming in July
@Perturbator Noticed that later. I guess having a faint silhouette is better than nothing.
Re: RiME Dev Tequila Works Forced to Auction Off Assets After Bankruptcy
That sucks, Rime was a really good game.
Re: The Last of Us Complete Out Today at $99.99 on PS5, Physical Collector's Edition Drops in July
They actually put Ellie on the cover twice instead of having Joel.
Re: PS5 Favourite Astro Bot Earns 5 More Awards, Including GOTY
It's ridiculous how many awards Astro Bot is getting, but I am all for it.
Re: Bungie Will Reveal Its Next PS5 Game Marathon on 12th April
Hopefully this isn't gonna be another Concord or Anthem.
Re: Best PS5, PS4 Games Like Mario Kart
@nomither6 Didn't play lots of the MP, but the only only problem I really had was quick matches and long wait times. Other than that it offers way more than MK8 in terms of single player content.
Re: Best PS5, PS4 Games Like Mario Kart
@species I think Crash Team Racing easily matches it. If anything I'd say it's better.
Re: Switch 2 Goes for the Kill in Japan By Massively Undercutting PS5's Price
Until Switch 2 undercuts the price of PS5 games, we're gonna have to wait and see.
Re: Almost All the UK's Boxed Copies of Assassin's Creed Shadows Sold on PS5 Last Week
Still yet to play Atomfall, but glad it's popular.
Amazed and happy Astro Bot is doing so well.
Kind of expected for a big franchise like AC to sell lots.
Re: Reaction: Sony's Licensing Strategy May Be the Best Route to Reviving Some of PlayStation's Lost Classics
As long as there is quality control, I'm all for it.
Re: Silent Hill F's Content Warning Demands a Strong Stomach
It is mental things like that need to actually be said.
Re: Silent Hill F Revealed for PS5 in Debut Trailer
Well this made my evening.
Unbelievably happy that this is still happening. The J-horror vibe is awesome, and the good reviews of Silent Hill 2's remake, and the creator for this game's previous work make it look promising.

Re: Devil May Cry's Netflix Anime Is Dividing Fans Big Time
Don't know what to think. I reckon it looks fun to watch, but not a fan of the art style.
Re: PS5 and Astro Bot the Perfect Match in New Console Bundle
Great bundle. If it was released before xmas last year and came with the special controller, it would have been perfect.
Re: Round Up: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Previews Say You Need to Be Excited for This PS5 RPG
Amazed previews are this early. Glad to hear it's good though.
Re: Sony Japan Studio Closed Because AA Market 'Disappeared', Says Shu Yoshida
Still sad, Japan Studio's games were legendary and really unique. Bad marketing didn't help either.
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced During Sony's State of Play Livestream for February 2025?
@UltimateOtaku91 May alone is looking stacked, there literally isn't enough time to get everything on release date.
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced During Sony's State of Play Livestream for February 2025?
I thought that was solid, particularly Tides of Annihilation, Darwin's Paradox and a damn Lost Soul Aside release date.
Nice that we actually got a new first party game as well.

Sweet Jesus, it's actually happening. Lost Soul Aside is actually coming out.
Re: London Is in Ruins for New PS5 Game Tides of Annihilation
Probably the highlight of the show for me, I'll be keeping an eye on this.
Re: Sony Will Bundle PS5 with 2024's GOTY, Says New Report
Pretty depressing that it's not even a physical copy of the game.
Re: How Well Do You Know Ratchet & Clank?

Some seemed fairly logical, but I'm pleased considering I started the series fairly late, have only played any of the games once, and haven't really played any spin offs.
Re: Ex-PlayStation Boss Says Sony 'Can't Get Away' with a PS6 That Has No Disc Drive
Console gaming is gonna get really bad when we are purely limited to the PS Store.
Re: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Is So Popular the Dev Can't Meet Collector's Edition Demand
Didn't even know there was a collector's edition, it looks cool. I hope the game is good, it seems really promising.

Re: Shuhei Yoshida: If You Want New First-Party PS5 Games, You Should Support Remasters

Re: After 31 Years, the Legendary Shuhei Yoshida Bids Farewell to PlayStation
Sucks to here, but he definitely deserves a good rest. Did an amazing job for Playstation, he will be sorely missed.
