@get2sammyb I mean if it only affects new games, developers will have to adapt to the new laws, developers comfortability cannot come at the expense of consumer rights.
@get2sammyb Stop Killing Games have been very vocal that the only games their fight will affect are new games that aren't released yet. So any online game that is already in the market whether paid or free to play can be shutdown without any offline mode.
What this means is that developers only have to worry developing their future online games in a way they can be played offline if the servers get shutdown.
I prefer Wild Arms 4 over 3. Wild Arms 4 and 5's Hex system is one of the best turn based systems in JRPG's history. 5's is better but 4's is also not bad, even though losing a turn when you move a character to another hex was a bad idea.
Happy to see Wild Arms 4 to come to modern PlayStation wasn't expecting it, but I'm glad it did. I hope we'll see 5, Alters Code f and XF soon as well.
Give us Shin Megami Tensei 1, 2 and 4 Remakes please ATLUS.
Persona 1 was my first Persona, but it would be hard to get back to. Persona 3 was the first Persona that actually made me care for the Personas even though they were not the main focus of the game, because with 1 and 2 I just called them without even knowing which persona is the best and I usually used the starter Persona.
I hope they get re-released on modern systems but I doubt I will replay them not because I don't like them but because my interest in the series is fading and I prefer Shin Megami Tensei.
@Porco The base PS5 is outselling the Pro and SONY said the Pro is for enthusiasists.
SONY knows that if they want to sell PS6s they will have to make the PS6 cheaper than the PS5 Pro, especially when this gen disappointed a lot of fans. They know most people will not buy a PS6 if it costs 700€-1000€.
@GamingGod When it comes to console, it is. Consoles are supposed to be the cheaper option from PCs, that's where the appeal is. If Consoles become as expensive as PCs more people would choose the latter even if they could easily afford the former.
@Porco No, I'm not suggesting the performance output of the PS6 will be worse than of the PS5 Pro, it obviously will better. What I'm trying to say is the PS5 Pro's price has been inflated to be more Premium, with people with alot of money to be the target audience.
Awesome games, I have pre-ordered them and was automatically downloaded today on my PS5.
Good review.
But there are still more Mega Man games to be released on modern platforms, like the Legends games, Misadventures of Tronne Bonne, the Platformer games of MegaMan.EXE or even the Wily Wars.
Funny that he said that, because the last mainline Final Fantasy is rated 18 and M and he was involved in that game.
Maybe stopping making every new Final Fantasy playing different from the past one and making it how it used to be might help.
I agree with him though that the games need to be released sooner.
"Final Fantasy needs its Resident Evil 7: Biohazard moment – an instalment that changes the trajectory of the franchise, and puts it on a more modern path."
Resident Evil 7 is actually a return to the series roots of being a horror survivor game instead an action game and that's why it sold well.
I said before that Square want people to stop see Final Fantasy synonyms to PlayStation and therefore will do less partnerships with Sony now, but people here were in denial (which I get why, this is a PlayStation centric website) and saying what I said is BS, but we are seeing Square less and less giving the PlayStation 5 importance and I believe Square will continue to do so.
But still even if SIE was American in the past, they are more Japanese now with Nishino who definitely cares about Japan, unlike Jim Ryan and Hermen Hulst.
And Japan Studio used to be called Sony Computer Entertainment before being renamed to the Japan Studio in 2006 which means anything they made Sony did as well.
The same I would say with Team Asobi as well since they are a successor of JS.
There are so many games from SONY themselves that they could release in the Premium Tier. Really disappointing that many of those are still not available.
Good that I only buy games digitally if they are on sale, which means they have to offer me games with a lower price if they want to convince me to buy them.
The moment PC players complained about being forced to login to PSN was the moment SONY realised they will not be able to bring PC players to PlayStation and have given up releasing their single player games on PC.
I do think we will see more AA first party games from SONY again to cover the cost of their AA games though and more of their Japanese games like Gravity Rush and Freedom Wars and who knows new Alundra abnd Rogue Galaxy games as well.
Definitely will play Pragmata and Monster Hunter Stories 3 will be a must buy and masterpiece.
I can't wait for Mega Man Dual Override I never understood the Mega Man IP is dead arguments but I'm glad we get to play another new game in the series.

I wish we would get a Sinner Bot from Freedom Wars.
Re: 'Absurd': Social Media Misquotes Journalist, Erroneously Claims Sony Is Angry at Naughty Dog
Can't wait for Sony's creative games to return and in my opinion it was obvious what Schreier meant.

Re: Like a Dragon's Majima Brings Another Yakuza Icon to Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds on PS5, PS4
Should have been Vyse instead.
Re: SEGA to Revive Old IP Like Outrun, Streets of Rage, and NiGHTS in New SEGA Universe Project
"We are not a retro company"
Well I'm happy those franchises are returning even though I would have liked to see Skies of Arcadia and Pulseman in that list too.
Re: Tekken 8 Fans Furious as Tifa Tipped for Street Fighter 6 Instead
A huge blow to Tekken fans if Tifa comes to Street Fighter.
Re: Sony Does Its Latest Retro Release Justice with a PS5, PS4 Trophy List
Seems good, seems like a very reasonable trophy list.
I hope when/if Wild Arms 5 comes to the PlayStation Store SONY doesn't force us to find every treasure in the game to get the Platinum.
Re: Wild Arms 4 Returns on PS Plus Premium, But Its PS2 Reviews Were Ruthless
I prefer Wild Arms 4 over 3. Wild Arms 4 and 5's Hex system is one of the best turn based systems in JRPG's history. 5's is better but 4's is also not bad, even though losing a turn when you move a character to another hex was a bad idea.

Re: 20-Year-Old Sony JRPG Makes Surprise Return to PS5, PS4 This Week, Free on PS Plus Premium
@PuppetMaster Yeah, Alundra 1 is better than 2. But wouldn't mind both to come to modern PlayStation.
Re: 20-Year-Old Sony JRPG Makes Surprise Return to PS5, PS4 This Week, Free on PS Plus Premium
Happy to see Wild Arms 4 to come to modern PlayStation wasn't expecting it, but I'm glad it did. I hope we'll see 5, Alters Code f and XF soon as well.
Also off topic. I hope SONY adds Alundra as well.
Re: 8 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for April 2026 Announced
Worth it, just for Wild Arms 4 alone.

Re: Looks Like SEGA Is Reheating PS5, PS4 Fan Favourite Sonic Frontiers in Definitive Edition
@Nakatomi_Uk Skies of Arcadia needs faster combat and no random encounters near discoveries, then it would be Golden.
Re: PS6 Could Be Cheaper Than Expected, Despite $1,000 Concerns
@Member_the_game Loading times are a bigger seller for me when ut comes to PS5 but yeah exclusives are important too and even more for the PS6.
Re: PS6 Could Be Cheaper Than Expected, Despite $1,000 Concerns
@Northern_munkey Thing is, the casual player doesn't want to invest that much for a console.
Re: PS6 Could Be Cheaper Than Expected, Despite $1,000 Concerns

Re: PS6 Could Be Cheaper Than Expected, Despite $1,000 Concerns
@Northern_munkey Most People would never pay the price of the PS5 Pro even launch price, the PS5 Pro is a niche system.
Re: PS6 Could Be Cheaper Than Expected, Despite $1,000 Concerns
@GamingGod When it comes to console, it is. Consoles are supposed to be the cheaper option from PCs, that's where the appeal is. If Consoles become as expensive as PCs more people would choose the latter even if they could easily afford the former.
Re: PS6 Could Be Cheaper Than Expected, Despite $1,000 Concerns
@Member_the_game I get that, but for me shorter loading times make a difference for me for my enjoyment.

@Porco No, I'm not suggesting the performance output of the PS6 will be worse than of the PS5 Pro, it obviously will better. What I'm trying to say is the PS5 Pro's price has been inflated to be more Premium, with people with alot of money to be the target audience.
Standard PlayStation's = Average costumers
PlayStation Pro's = People with a lot of income.
Re: PS6 Could Be Cheaper Than Expected, Despite $1,000 Concerns
@Member_the_game The PS5 has faster loading times.

Re: PS6 Could Be Cheaper Than Expected, Despite $1,000 Concerns
I will not buy a PS6 if it's more than 600€ even 500€ is too much.
That said, the PS5 Pro being as expensive as it is now is no indication that the PS6 can be over 1000€.
The reason why the Pro is this expensive is because it's a Premium device that is targeting the rich.
The standard PS6 will not be as expensive or more expensive than the PS5 Pro, simply because it's not a Pro.
Re: Looks Like SEGA Is Reheating PS5, PS4 Fan Favourite Sonic Frontiers in Definitive Edition
@Nakatomi_Uk And after the news thst SEGA renwed the trademark is really disappointing.

@Nakatomi_Uk SEGA didn't even acknowledge Skies of Arcadia's 25th anniversary.

Re: Looks Like SEGA Is Reheating PS5, PS4 Fan Favourite Sonic Frontiers in Definitive Edition
Expect the original getting delisted and Sonic fans stopping buying Sonic games at launch.

Re: Sony Decides VTubers May Be the Best Way to Save PS5 in Japan
@Questionable_Duck Wikipedia can be wrong though.
But still even if SIE was American in the past, they are more Japanese now with Nishino who definitely cares about Japan, unlike Jim Ryan and Hermen Hulst.

@Questionable_Duck Skny Interactive Entertainment is a Japanese company that moved to the US.
They started in Japan after all.
Re: Sony Decides VTubers May Be the Best Way to Save PS5 in Japan
@themightyant Sony didn't buy Aniplex. It was made in-house.

@Fizza Sony owns Grand/Fate order.
Re: Sony Decides VTubers May Be the Best Way to Save PS5 in Japan
Making exclusive games that appeals to the Japanese would make better results.

Re: Opinion: Sony's PC Pullback Is the Right Move for PS5
The moment PC players complained about being forced to login to PSN was the moment SONY realised they will not be able to bring PC players to PlayStation and have given up releasing their single player games on PC.
I do think we will see more AA first party games from SONY again to cover the cost of their AA games though and more of their Japanese games like Gravity Rush and Freedom Wars and who knows new Alundra abnd Rogue Galaxy games as well.
