@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.
@Flaming_Kaiser Aspects like graphics and gameplay are good, but the story was poor, which is important in a game that's sold on it's story. Overall, it's just very disappointing.
14/15 Best I've ever done. I could have sworn Cutter had a fear of heights as there was that scene were he was hesitant to jump, but I guess that's normal in that situation. Now that I thing about it, he didn't like tight spaces.

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?

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: Platinum Trophy for Imminent PS1 Game MediEvil 2 on PS Plus Premium

Re: Platinum Trophy for Imminent PS1 Game MediEvil 2 on PS Plus Premium
@AK4tywill I'm pretty disappointed that they didn't remake the game along with the original.

Re: Shuhei Yoshida: If You Want New First-Party PS5 Games, You Should Support Remasters
@themightyant Supporting means more than "don’t rubbish them".
Re: Shuhei Yoshida: If You Want New First-Party PS5 Games, You Should Support Remasters

Re: Shuhei Yoshida: If You Want New First-Party PS5 Games, You Should Support Remasters
@glennthefrog Absolutely mental isn't.
"If give us money for this old game you already have, we might consider thinking about making a sequel. Which you'll also have to pay for."

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.
Re: Vive La Return of Castlevania: Nocturne, Season 2 Is Almost Here
@homelesscretin The only season I wasn't a fan of was 3, I remember it feeling really slow. I loved season 4 though, picked it up again.
Re: British PS5, PS4 Survival Game Atomfall Could Be a Great Alternative for STALKER Fans
Not really 100% sure about the gameplay, but I absolutely love the look of the setting so I'm definitely interested.
Re: You'd Better Believe The Last of Us 2 Demands a PSN Account on PC
Requiring a PSN account for an offline game is mental.

Re: Rumour: PlayStation Is Working on Reviving Some of Its 'Deep Cut' Franchises
@UltimateOtaku91 A remake would be cool, but I'd really love a sequel.
Re: Random: Kanye West Is Playing The Last of Us 2 on Survivor + Mode, Says It's the Best Game Ever Made
Nut job says a bad videogame is good, I'm not sure if I'm shocked or not.
Re: Ring in the New Year with a Reborn Tango Gameworks Inc
Really glad to see some positive news for once, wasn't expecting this. Personally I'd love something like The Evil Within, but anything is good.
Re: Squid Game Reaches Critical Mass with Playful Call of Duty Crossover
COD is a joke now.
Re: Sony Promises It Hasn't Abandoned the Famous Franchises from Its Past
Awesome, can't wait to see these old series return then. Looking forward to a new Ape Escape.
Re: Push Square's PlayStation Quiz of the Year 2024
12/15 through some very lucky guesses. Glad to see people mentioning Kutaro when possible.
Re: PlayStation Thanks the Fans with Emotional 30th Anniversary Montage
As much as Sony has annoyed me recently, I think we all have countless great memories because of Playstation.
