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.

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!

@Sunraku

I would love to play Keeper. Especially a nice physical copy. That art should be on a shelf.

@Northern_munkey

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 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.

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.

Oh and Keeper for PS5!!

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.

Hopefully, they release a physical disc version later. That's what Black Myth: Wukong did.

@IntrepidWombat

I have been using videogamesplus for a bit now and I love them!

BioWare is toast.

Currently, physical copies look like they don't get the digital content. Hopefully, this delay canchange that.

$220!!! For desktop speakers! Good grief. Maybe they contain RAM, lol.

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.

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

I am not on Twitter and would not have even known about this had it not been reported here.

This feels like engagement farming.

If it isn't having an impact, then who cares?

Let people joke about the game ifvthey want to.

We are not obligated to make corporations succeed.

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.

Would love to get the conclusion to Darksiders on a disc. Here's hoping that it beata the deadline.

Been playing with 2 friends and it is awesome. My only conplaint is getting hung up on the terrain.

The biggest problem in Big Walk is the actual walking! Lol

But I seriously am really digging this one.

I have had it preordered for so long that the first oreorder was cancelled and I had to nake a new one. Lol

@PuppetMaster

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.

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.

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).

Gonna get confused with the UFO 50 game that has all the retro styled stuff.

That one seems quite cool and should come to the playstation.

BioWare is toast.

EA has a history of buying studios and ruining them. Now someone is buying and ruining EA. Karma.

I think Rayman Origins Enhanced is included with Rayman Legends Retold.

So they shouldn't be 2 separate things as far as I know.

Kinda looking forward to giving this a try with some buddies. The same friends I played Space Marine 2 with. It's cool to have mature friends who can recognize different types of fun and quality. Lol

The whales that they are making money from are typically "lifestyle" games. The kind of games that some people are super into and it is their primary or even only game because it takes up so much time.

Things like Fortnite, Apex Legends, Warframe, Gacha Waifu games, Free-To-Play, World of Tanks (and spin-offs), Sports (Soccer, Football, Baseball), MMOs and of course, CoD and Battlefield.

If you typically play just one game on PS5, how likely are you to upgrade to an enormously expensive PS6 to play your lifestyle game with minimal noticeable improvements? We are hitting a realm of diminishing returns and lifestyle games need to prioritize the next annual release and/or just making new content vs. overhauling the whole thing for a new console.

I expect a ton of players are not going to rush to the PS6. Sony KNOWS this and will raise digital game prices and PSPlus costs to try to make up for lost investments we have already seen (Concord, Bungie, etc.) as well as investments in PSVR2, PS6 and a portable PS6.

More and more players will play elsewhere such as mobile devices they already own, PCs and Switch.

XBox is already doomed unless they make sone drastic changes to get customers.

Sony had a Golden Goose. But they are killing it due to a complete failure to understand why people like Playstation and consoles in general.

Well, I don't have to play the sequel. The first one had a fun demo and is waiting in my enormous backlog.

But I don't have to buy, play or support their subsequent lack of efforts and (even cringier) sexualizations.

I can still buy movies on 4K in cool packages, often with digital codes included. I can still buy Vinyl, Cassettes and CDs for music, some of which comes with a digital version on Amazon as well. I can still buy actual, physically printed books, which occasionally come with digital versions.

All of the physical stuff can be sold on a second hand market or passed on when I die.

The all digital future is a corporate hellscape for customers and consumers.

Screw Sony and screw the PS6.

Personally, I would LOVE to see the Saudis and Jared Kushner lose massive amounts of money on this. And if the lenders lose money too, that might be fine with me as well.

@johnedwin

You should look this up (I don't have exact details handy or I would provide them)...

I heard that Richard Garriott (Lord British) has gotten some of the rights back to the game. I can't remember exactly what but I think it was something oddly specific... like he had rights to the stories and characters but not the name Ultima. Something like that.

The ability to pass your licenses on after you pass on would be nice.

It should have a physical deluxe version that matches Remake and Rebirth.

Control was fantastic! Hopeful thatvthis is as well.

@Relaxations

As an example, for the past few years as physical releases have shrunk, I have been buying games at launch since they may sell out and be harder to buy later. Getting a physical copy of Evil West proved pretty difficult after it had been out for a while.

When Sony goes all digital, that "buy at launch" attitude goes away as unless I absolutely want to play something on release day. There will be very few games like that I want to playbon release day.

@TheSingularity

Wanting a corporation to harm its users' buying options (including yourself) is the truly ridiculous thing here.

Where is the evidence of this figure? What does it include (dlc only available digitally & old games on deep sale)?

RE Requiem sold out physically because they didn't print enough copies. Then people who wanted physical bought it digitally. So, companies are intentionally making fewer discs while also making digital copies the only way to get extra content.

You have to compare apples to apples. If you had a physical game with more than enough copies available and the exact same game/value proposition digitally, I have no doubt that the digital would outsell the physical, but by how much?

Right now, the corporations are providing massaged data specifically to mislead you into accepting the future that they want. I am severely disappointed in PushSquare for not looking into these figures before reporting on them. At the very least, report what the corporations say but don't put your own commentary on it if you aren't going to do the slightest bit of verification and fact finding.

Sony's next console is going to have a very tough time if the economy doesn't have a massive rebound. I expect Xbox and Sony to continue to shed players while PC and Nintendo grow. This is bad for PushSquare, but you all should be doing more to fight for the players than succumb to the whims of a corporation. I am very disappointed.

Hopefully, could still come out and be super cool. Do we know what WayForward's current projects(s) is/are?

I think the dlc codes for something by CDProjekt expired in 2077.

Fascinating that someone here would defend this. The bootlicking & sycophantism is outta control.

@Killionaire

Yes. I think that this will have cooperative only multiplayer and everyone needs their own MS Account if I remember correctly.

In 2001 you got multiplayer with your shooter. And a game on a disc. Now, you get a key on a disc (until there are no discs) and no multiplayer.

At least the price is kind of less than it was back then thanks to inflation.

I hope the backlash continues. I hate the idea of Sony removing choices. I like physical games and have also bought digitally. But if you trust Sony (or any corporation) that is foolish.

I don't see the PS6 doing well with the current and likely future, world economy.

I just bought The Sexy Brutale on a disc. It came with a soundtrack CD and a booklet. I wanna say $40. Obviously more than digital, but there is a market for this kind of thing, and a company can be profitable satistfying that market.

Sony has lied and manipulated data before to make their point. Whether this data is true, misleading or a flat out lie is irrelevant to Sony's intentions.

None of this matters compared to Sony's goals. They know that consoles will be losing players, not gaining them. They know that their next consoles will be ridiculously expensive and will sell poorly. They are going to fleece existing fans who stick with them as much as possible.

Get ready for prices to be generally higher for software and definitely look for a PS Plus price increase.

If Sony doesn't have physical discs, then I won't be there for PS6.

It's 40 bucks for 2 games I haven't played. That seems pretty good to me. (Here's hoping the disc contains both games.)

Sam's Club and Costco (in the US) charge for memberships but provide good prices in return. It sounds like Sony/Crunchyroll are gonna charge you a membership for the privelege of buying overpriced trash products labeled as "collectibles."

Customers shouldn't have to fight for consumer protections and rights, but it seems we do.

I will not be getting a PS6 if there are not going to be discs available for it. Sony's PSN store is a travesty for customers compared to other digital stores. Sony is also killing a lot of businesses and jobs with this decision.
