I wonder how this will release. I would love to see the Layton series on modern hardware. Maybe release them individually and digitally then physically as a collection on disc or cartridge?
I have been looking forward to this for a long time. For those interested, there are 2 novels (just a 2 part series, so it should have a conclusion) and multiple table top role-playing game books out (2 now with a 3rd on the way).
Yeah, I feel like I heard that as well. BUT... having no plans to remaster it back when they were busy with remaking W1, creating W4, updating CP, planning CP2 and planning some other new IP makes sense.
As projects release though, I hope that they remaster W2 and make it so save files from 1 affect 2 and save files from 2 affect 3. (I think that happened on PC? And the ability to choose the important decisions from prior games is always useful as well.)
I really loved Witcher 2 for its time. I kind of dig the fact that it was short enough to play through twice for different endings. That smaller game also made the story more interesting for me. That said, W3 might still be my favorite game ever. So far, that is...
Arrested Development. Great show in my opinion currently on Netflix (at least in the US). First 3 seasons are wonderful, the rest is worse but still better than the majority of sitcoms out there. At least in my humble opinion.
Man, I was expecting Fool's Theory to be far along in development of Witcher 1 Remake.
Kind of bummed that the remake will take longer now, but it is also kind of nice if it plays and handles similarly to Witcher 4. And kinda bummed that news of a Witcher 2 Remake/Remaster haven't come up yet.
But I am a physical collector and may be looking into what they release for Switch 2 by the time all of these are indeed coming out.
I'm certainly sorry that happened to you but I don't see how that has anything to do with the article.
Basically, people who already have physical copies would get a digital license. That's good. Not bad.
If their discs get stolen then they will lose their licenses. That's bad.. Not good. But also... the exact same outcome as if they lost their discs without a license.
So if you keep your discs, this is good news. Noone is stealing your license without also stealing your discs.
Then, one half of the scenario is good news. The other half is no change. So, overall, this is a bit of good news.
Been looking forward to this for a long time! There are 2 novels out and some Tabletop Role-Playing books for it already. The world building and lore look incredible to me!
Yeah play-asia has what looks like disc versions for Asia, Japan, Europe and North America. Unfortunately, I feel like those are placeholders for now. Thanks for the heads up, though!
Black Myth: Wukong's physical copy with an actual disc came out something like 4-5 months after the game's launch in North America.
I'd be fine with that for Phantom Blade Zero. Fingers crossed...
I remember hearing that The Witness was getting a physical release. That never happened, though.
I still think that had there been a Collector's Edition of The Witness, the box could have had some very creative elements to it. Like the perspective elements in the game. Or a papercraft that only looks right from a specific perspective.
At least in the US, the Day One edition comes with a steelbook, a map and an early unlock of some armor. Still only $70 and the retailer gives you a $10 gift card.
Just for comparison: Onimusha: Way of the Sword Steelbook costs $5 extra and the Control: Resonant Steelbook is $70 but doesn't seem to cone with any of the digital bonuses.
That guy/gal replied to me about a week or so ago. He/She/They just joined PushSquare June 30th 2026 and have no comments other than to defend a digital future for Sony. Probably a paid shill.
Just for some that I don't think have been mentioned: Legacy of Kain Blood Omen and Soul Reaver, Metal Gear Solid, Okami and Ghosts 'n Goblins/Demon's Crest/Maximo. G'nG is far from open world but its blend of cutesy/humorous horror works for me (like Medievil).

Re: Vanillaware's 4K Remaster of Stone-Cold Classic Muramasa Carves Out February Release Date on PS5
This release means that most of Vanillaware's games will be on PS4/PS5. For that alone I am stoked!
Re: Dawnwalker Dev Gearing Up for Sequel After Promising a Franchise
I am concerned about the sequel being modern day. Gives me Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2 vibes.
But I'll just have to wait and see. Probably 3 years away at least.
Re: Capcom's Focused on Reviving Dormant Franchises, and That's Got Me All Excited About Ace Attorney
Man, a new Gargoyle's Quest/Demon's Crest ... side scrolling Metroidvania maybe with some top down or 3/4 view flight around the world.
I love the Ghosts 'n Goblins world aesthetic and want more.
At the least Capcom should make a collection of Ghosts 'n Goblins, Gargoyle's Quest and Maximo.
Re: Exodus on PS5 Could Be the Mass Effect Replacement I've Been Waiting For

Re: State of Play's Live Chat Was a Total Mess, and I Wonder What Sony's Going to Do About It
Remember that you do not owe any corporation loyalty. Loyalty is a two-way street and no corporation is loyal to you.
They all seem to want continual subscriptions. Vote with your wallets when the PS6 comes out.
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Will Ship on One PS5 Disc, Digital Download Required
This is a lame decision from Squenix. The previous Deluxe Edition cost the same and had 2 discs. God, I hate corporations.

Re: Double Fine Bringing Xbox, PC Game Keeper to PS5
I wish that the update listed the price. At least for the biggest markets to give everyone an idea.

Re: Square Enix Denies Rumours of Being Bought Out
As an armchair analyst maybe they should release physical versions of a FFIX remake/remaster and a Vagrant Story remake/remaster.
A remastered Bushido Blade 1 and 2, plus Einhander while I'm at it.
Re: Big Walk (PS5) - An Ingenious Co-Op Experience Unlike Anything Else on PS5
I love this game.
Unfortunately, I feel like the review gives away a bit too much.
Honestly, this is a relaxing, coop puzzle game. Aside from that, I think it is great and you ABSOLUTELY SHOULD NOT communicate outside of the game.
Other than that... go in blind and have fun!

Personally, I am glad that trophies carry over.

Re: Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy (PS5) - Solid Story Game without the Rats
Hopefully, framerate issues can be fixed with a patch.
Lot harder to fix a slow opening. Doable, but a lot more work.
Re: Microsoft Confirms Xbox Disc-to-Digital Program in the Wake of Sony Decision to End PlayStation Discs
@lacerz
As easy as stealing their disc ever was. How is this easier than that?
And if someone did steal your license and you put the disc in, it sounds like you would take the license back from them.
So you know... keep your discs.

I'd be fine with that for Phantom Blade Zero. Fingers crossed...
Re: Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 (PS5) - MGS 4 Is Finally Free from PS3, and It's the Best It's Ever Been
I just want proper controls during cutscenes.
Let me fast forward, rewind, pause and save the game. Let me return to where I was in the cutscene later.
It is 2026!! Let's get some cutscene control.
Re: The Blood of Dawnwalker Won't Have 60FPS Mode on PS5 or Even PS5 Pro
I would prefer 60, but solid 30 is fine if the game is immersive and fun.
And as said above, they may continue optimizing it.
Re: Psychonauts Dev Double Fine Reveals Its Future Plans Today
Oh and Keeper for PS5!!
Re: Psychonauts Dev Double Fine Reveals Its Future Plans Today
Hopefully a proper Psychonauts 1 and 2 for modern systems and Psychonauts 3.
A Brutal Legend remaster and sequel would be cool. Seems unlikely with EA, rhough.
Re: PS5 Console Exclusive Phantom Blade Zero Poised for Gargantuan Launch
Hopefully, they release a physical disc version later. That's what Black Myth: Wukong did.

Black Myth Wukong released digitally before eventually getting a physical disc release. Maybe that could happen here as well.

Re: Still Not Sold on Dawnwalker? Dev Presents 'Everything You Need to Know' About the Open World RPG

Re: Disc-Based PS5s Now Warn Buyers About the Impending Death of Physical Games
I am gonna be done with Sony and Playstation. It is a shame since I have been with them for a long time.
It will be interesting to see how consoles fare with a new generation of gamers who grew up with free ganes on their phones.
Personally, I think that the next XBox is dead on arrival and the PS6 will be similar. But time will tell. Switch 2 is gonna clean up this gen.
