By the way, that wasn't directed at you, danzoEX!

I was using the general "you" for people in general.

I had to look up what happened.

If you boycott a game cause 1 person says something you don't like then you will be boycotting every single thing that involves multiple people. Which is like nearly every business.

The CEOs and owners of many if not most businesses have probably said or supported things that you don't like or agree with.

My friend got it at launch and had Battle Arena Toshinden. I'm not sure what else he had.

I went for a vastly reduced in price 3DO. I remember doing that primarily because it could daisy chain so many controllers, had a ton of cheap games available by then and because of the M2 upgrade they announced but never delivered.

I got a PSOne when the writing was on the wall for the M2 and got the Iron & Blood D&D fighting game that was supposed to be an M2 exclusive. Also got Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain.

Eventually, so many classics on PSOne. Soul Reaver, Tomb Raider, FFVII, Metal Gear Solid, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Final Fantasy Tactics, etc.

There is a bigger audience for videogames now than there has ever been. I feel pretty confident about that especially when you include pcs and mobile devices. The PS2 absolutely dominated its generation and squashed the competition. But it didn't have any hits that stand out the way Call of Duty has in later generations.

I don't know much about Call of Duty, but as far as PS2 games on that list, I see Guitar Hero 3 (which was also PS3 as far as I know), GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas.

The rest seems to be PS3 and PS4 mostly. Some of these titles are cross-gen games. GTAV has been on the PS3, PS4 and PS5.

@Cavefish

How dare thee good sir!?!? The gauntlet has been tossed.

Prepare thineself for the Cantloupe - Watermelon War.

You shall choke on our seeds!

Keep in mind that the population has increased as well. This is why corporations love to brag about the most sales ever. Like there are probably more canteloupes sold than have ever been sold in history. Cause there are now more people who like canteloupe.

I don't like canteloupe. Canteloupe can suck it! As can GTA and CoD, lol.

I still remember buying Red Dead Redemption (PS3) and Alan Wake collector's Edition Xbox 360) on the same day. 'Twas a pricy day. But a good one!

I hope they release a PS5 demo for Adventures of Elliot around this show (or sooner!). That game looks really good.

Driving and shooting from IO Interactive?

So... it sounds like Minds Eye, amirite?!?!?

(I'm kidding, of course)

Switch 2 is very expensive now as well. Whole hobby is expensive as arecother hobbies.

IO Interactive... the notorius publisher of Mind's Eye!

@gamma64

I knew there were things that I was forgetting from the PS3 era! Nintendo had the Wii with their fancy motion control using 3 axes. Somehow, Sony upped it to SixAxis Motion Control, lol!

And then the Move controllers which had joysticks on them and were actually pretty good (I liked them at least).

Kinda sounds like it would get a better reception if it launched as a $40 AA game instead.

Not using Will Arnett is messed up. I wasn't buying it anyway, but even more not buying it now! Lol

@Boxmonkey Sony has made bank by copying and doubling Nintendo.

SNES -> 2 Triggers — PSOne -> 4 Triggers Baby!
N64 -> Analog Stick — PSOne -> Dual Analog, Baby!
N64 ->Rumble Pack — PSOne -> Dual Shock, Baby!
GameCube -> Long pull Trigger — PS2 --> All buttons pressure sensitive, Baby! (Not sure but I think PS2 actually launched before the GameCube...)
NDS -> 2 Screens, 1 with touch — PSVita 1 screen but 2 Touch capable things, Baby! (Ok, this isn't quite double...)

Now Switch 1 and 2 -> dockable and portable — PS6 compatible handheld -> dockable on 2 outputs at the same time and comes with a 2nd handheld device for twice the portabilty, BABY!!!

GO SONY!

LOL

Is Will Arnett still the voice of atman in this one?

It looks fun as heck. Hope the learnig curve is gradual.

@AaronBayne

Someone at PushSquare should ask Microsoft and Obsidian about 2 things:

1. Why hasn't the Premium Edition of the game dropped in price $10 to match the price drop of the Standard Edition? Currently, this means that the contents of the Premium Edition, initially valued at $20, has risen in price to $30 more than the Standard Edition. What is their claimed justification for this? Wll the price of the Premium Edition drop by $10?

2. How much data will be on the pS5 disc? Will it be just a download key or an actual build of the game?

Thanks!

@Quintumply

Hiya! It looks like you did the reviews for The Messenger, Ninja Gaiden Ragebound and Shinobi Art of Vengeance. If so, it might be a fun article to read your comparisons of the 3.

I have almost completed The Messenger (getting all of the collectibles was a bit of a struggle, but I did it; just gotta finish the last level and then do Picninc Panic DLC). Really looking forward to Shinobi, but feel like Ninja Gaiden may be a lot like The Messenger in some ways.

Anyways, it is just an idea for ya!

@Jammer Resistance Collection with all 3 PS3 games, the PSP and even the kinda trash Vita one would be sweet.

I enjoyed that series. I could NOT believe how much I liked part 3 with the Move controllers! Once I dialed in their sensitivity and settings for my tv and distance to it, it was AWESOME.

It really feels like more games sould have been included in this package. Even if it was just the latest PC versions ported over without a full remaster treatment.

Well, hopefully I can't get downvoted into the negatives, but here goes... lol

Currently, the game has an 86 average on Metacritic. Seems to me that if you wanna play it, you are likely to enjoy it, as the reviewer here did.

I watched the Digital Foundry review. They enjoyed the game! They then went and spent 30 minutes or so telling you its technical issues. Many of those you won't notice much while playing (some you will, for sure). I intend to play it and I am openminded enough to say later if the issues impacted my enjoyment and if so, how much.

If all you want to do is complain about something and dogpile with other people, that's your prerogative. In my opinion, people are taking this too far and blaming the reviewer which is unfair. Digital Foundry liked the game and did an exposé on its faults. So if you watched it for 30 minutes and saw nothing but negatives then you really aren't seeing the forest for the trees.

People complained and dogpiled on Concord and honestly that game seemed fine for the little bit I played it. Not amazing, just totally fine and very polished. It is a shame to see so many people rage about something like this without having played the game and seen for themselves whether or not it is that severe.

Regardless, I hope it gets patched and the PS5 Pro version improves. In the meantime, the game seems fun as heck.

This sale looks super familiar. Is it the same as the last or next to last sale?

Don't forget the whole Digital Eclipse interactive museum bits. That (and nostalgia) are what is interesting me the most about this.

All these great looking beat-em-ups and I just want Dragon's Crown 2!

This is the only game that I can think of where watching trailers of it starts to give me a verrrry slight headache.

Kind of interested in it, but the effects make me cautious.

@PuppetMaster LOL
But also there is Lost Soul Aside, Tides of Annhilation, Where Winds Meet and Blood Message.

So not everything starts with Wu. Just like half of em. Lol

@throwmeaname It definitely reminded me of the witcher trailer with the Bruxa "A Night to Remember."

I might also be very ok with Korean Witcher. But there is a ton to see and find out about the game.

I'm still confused by Where Winds Meet. Some of what I have read about that one sounds Witcher-y and some sounds Free Game-like.

@thechetearly Yes, you do. It looks like the stages each have 1 playable character. Some of them are Arnie's T-800.

Hoping for a physical PS5 version one day.

This is mostly for archival and history purposes to me. I am looking forward to it mainly for the video histories and a nostalgia hit.

The 3D PS2 era can be volume 2 and NEEDS Shaolin Monks. To be honest... NRS should make a Shaolin Monks 2.

I am old and watching some of the videos of this are close to giving me a headache. Never experienced that from a game before. There are just way too many effects happening.

Other times the game looks pretty cool, imho. So, kinda on the fence about this one.

100% agree, Sammy!

As a physical game collector (and old man) this is disheartening but expected.

Here's hoping that Microsoft actually changes course and puts Outer worlds 2 on the disc rather than just a download code. And off-topic, but the last time I checked the price of the deluxe version had not decrased by 10 US dollars like the price of the standard has.

Days Gone has ben out for a long time and is the kind of game that feels like it would do well on XBox to me. If Sony porting it helps give money to Bend Studios for their next project or even helps stave off layoffs, then I am all for it. It is on PC and has been exclusive for long enough.

Reminds me of another first person fantasy game from back when... maybe Dark Messiah of Might and Magic.

From the Playstation Store page, it looks like it has a single player offline mode. Which makes me think that you swap out the characters when needed or wanted.

There is also a 2-4 player co-op mode, but we don't know yet if that is playable for the entire game or if it is just a separate online portion.

But basically, there is just a lot we don't know yet. I remember people asked for a co-op game with all 4 horsemen (horsepersons?) for years.

Personally, I prefer a single player romp like Darksiders 1 or 2; less so for 3. Gotta go find and play Genesis now... Excited for any Darksiders news and honestly, this seems like the big budget title we have wanted for the franchise ever since 2 was released!

Also, the PS Store says Online Play is optional.

@FinneasGH

The playstation store lists this as 4 player online with PS Plus.

It also shows as 1 player. So I suspect 1-4 player OR a single player mode with a 4 player online mode. Would love to find out more info.
