@Ooccoo_Jr The audience makes him king. Most publishers and devs prefer the convenience he provides in the post-E3 world.
It's the only thing these days that comes close to causing the same excitement as an E3 Big 3 conference day. Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft all pulling out the big guns plus dozens of show-stoppers coming out of nowhere. E3 was great...
With a new Dragon's Dogma on the way, a new Street Fighter and the obvious follow-up to Monster Hunter World, Capcom's best selling game ever, I think it's safe to guarantee this streak will continue.
Franchise revival wishlist: Dino Crisis, Power Stone, Rival Schools, Darkstalkers, Strider, Breath of Fire, Megaman Legends (Man, Capcom has a treasure trove of IPs to rival Nintendo)
Well, its looking better than the first trailer and that harpy-looking monster was pretty awesome. Would've preferred they kept the sidescroller RPG style tbh but this is better than nothing I guess.
Getting this just to show support for a never-happening DarkStalkers 4. Capcom could at least give us an all-star fighting game without needing to crossover with another IP.
"biophages"....emm guys, really should think about a name-change before the social justice warriors weaponize this and make a ***** storm out of nothing.
@Jaberwocky It affects gamers by stiffling competition, and by consequence innovation and creativity.
As a gamer, I may get a series X if the good games are there, same reason I got a PS5 or a Switch. But the Microsoft ways always leave a bad taste in the mouth. I hope they do great things with the ip they've been acquiring but their history doesn't give me a lot of hope.
An interesting asymetric response could be to start working on PS Home/Metaverse together with Epic. Add value to the PS ecosystem and hit MS where they can't compete: innovation and creativity.
Petty Microsoft has been holding a grudge ever since Sony made fun of their Xbox one reveal fiasco. Small dick energy for sure.
@Ryguy2784 Completely agree. How can you not be angry when you pay at least $70 USD for a broken alpha?
Don't condone any threats or insults but it just feels like they are deflecting away from the fact that Battlefield 2042 was pretty much dead on arrival.
Not the devs really fault but EA's and DICE management. EA now has to greenlight Titanfall 3 to make up for it. #LoseWin
I hope they can turn it around. The concept had potential. Maybe add PS IP characters, bigger arenas ala Twisted Metal Black Making it more like a classic car combat game is not a bad idea. Maybe as a game mode?
If access to the classic catalog is not half-assed then I wouldn't undersestimate its ability to stand against gamepass. Sony has way better classic IPs than xbox but they have to work with publishers in order to get the strong third-party titles.
Not full on remake but R* did charge full price for them, huh?
To think they were one of my favorite devs of the ps2/ps3 era.
Happens to all game companies. They become successfull and transition into becoming soulless corporations that milk their own content to death until every unit of value has been squeezed from them.

They could ask the guy that blew $100k on Diablo Immortal.

Re: Sony Sounds Shook by Xbox's Activision Buyout, Says Call of Duty Has No Rival
@mrtennis1990 Talent-wise no problem, it's Microsoft's deep pockets that makes this an almost impossible uphill battle.
Re: Sony Sounds Shook by Xbox's Activision Buyout, Says Call of Duty Has No Rival
IMO this is the reason they bought Bungie. Destiny is the only game to can even come close to posing a minor challenge to COD.
Last COD game I bought was World at War way back in the PS3 era but I'm a little intrigued with what they'll do with Warzone 2.0
Re: PS5, PS4 Finally Go Portable with Officially Licensed PlayStation Backbone One
Bring back the PSP, Sony.

Re: GTA 6 Has a Female Protagonist, New Report Claims
Can't help but think of the new Saints Rwoke. I hope I'm wrong but this Rockstar from the last decade doesn't inspire much confidence.
Re: Action RPG Valkyrie Elysium Gets September Release Date, New Gameplay Trailer
Well, its looking better than the first trailer and that harpy-looking monster was pretty awesome. Would've preferred they kept the sidescroller RPG style tbh but this is better than nothing I guess.
Re: Capcom Fighting Collection (PS4) - A Superb Compilation of Classics and Oddities
Getting this just to show support for a never-happening DarkStalkers 4. Capcom could at least give us an all-star fighting game without needing to crossover with another IP.
Re: Reminder: Final Fantasy 7 and Dragon's Dogma Events Are Happening at the Same Time Today
DD2! Make it happen, Capcom!
Re: PS Plus Re-Launch Triggers Modes and Events for Destruction AllStars
Just rework it into a 3D arena smash brothers with cars wtih Playstation characters.
Re: Persona 5 Royal PS5 Remaster Seemingly Confirmed, Releases 21st October
Well, the Persona 25th anniversary has been a MASSIVE letdown.
They only had to announce Persona 3 and/or Persona 4 remakes but, Atlus being Atlus, we get ports, cafés and f*cking concerts.
Re: Aliens: Fireteam Elite's First Expansion, Pathogen, is Coming to PS5, PS4 in August
Needs a first person mode. AND couch co-op.
Re: Tetris Effect, Rez Producer 'Very Interested' in Making a PSVR2 Game
YES, PLEASE!
A Rez 2 made-for-PSVR2 is what I imagine virtual tripping to be like.

Re: Rumour: Looks Like PS1 Classic Dino Crisis Is Joining the PS Plus Premium Lineup
Capcom needs to bring her back to lead exoprimal. The game literally has a dinosaur crisis, the portal theme fits into dino crisis.
Perfect opportunity to bring back Lost Planet's gameplay mechanics AND bring back a severely underused character.
Re: WipEout-Like Racer Redout 2 Hits the Brakes Until June on PS5, PS4
This is not WipEout.
Re: Sony Reveals Vision for the Metaverse
We just need PS Home-in-steroids tbh.
Have any game you buy act like an amiibo that unlocks different things in PS Home-verse whatever for a player's avatar to use.
I see it kinda like a Virtual Dinseyland with a an evolving map.
Re: Preview: New Saints Row Looks Like Fantastic Fun, But It's Also Distinctly Last-Gen
So gamers are better off just getting the REAL Saint's Row games.
It´s one of those games that looks like it was made using Activision's diverse-o-meter xD.
Re: Dreams Update 2.44 Brings Big Improvements to Create Mode, Available Now
If Sony wants to unlock this game´s potential they should include it free of charge for every ps plus user, any tier.
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced During Sony's Latest State of Play?
Exoprimal looks interesting but I still have no clue why Capcom did not call it Dino Crisis. It's literally one.
Missed opportunity to bring back badass gal Regina imo.
Edit: That said, I hope this is as much like Lost Planet 2 as possible.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Elden Ring?
@Hibari89 Now is the perfect time for them to revisit Armored Core if you ask me.
Or Cookie & Cream.
Re: So, Beyond Good & Evil 2 Is Probably Never Happening
It's for the best. The game was nothing like the first one.
Just remake the original in 4k and ray tracing and be done with it.
Re: Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition Remaster Is Real, Adventures to PS4 in April
Tbh I expected it to look a "bit" better. I think this is a game that could have benefited from a total remake.
Re: Sony More Likely Than Microsoft to Acquire a Japanese Game Company, Analyst Explains
@jFug This or Square Enix would be big wins in my book just for the huge amount of valuable IP they come with.
Between the two I would prefer Capcom. Just imagine: PS Allstars VS Capcom.
Re: Bungie's New Destiny Expansion Amasses One Million Pre-Orders
Nice to know 1.2 of those 3.6 billion are towards the people actually making the games.
Regarding Destiny, I played it back when Forsaken released but never really got hooked.
Re: Interview: Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin Devs Talk Inspiration, Difficulty Options, Chaos Memes, and More
There's going to be a "chaos!" achievement, right?
Re: Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Is So PS2 It Hurts
I think SquarEnix is taking the Deadly Premonition route of "so bad it's essential" school of game design.
And it's working. Full on cheese with a side of CHAOS!
Re: Talking Point: What PS Plus Games for February 2022 Do You Want?
@Danloaded Nier Replicant would be awesome!
Re: Forgotten PS5 Crash-'Em-Up Destruction AllStars Refreshes Scoring in Update

Re: This Is Why PlayStation Wants to Make Smartphone Games
Completely forgot that WipEout Rush existed. Hope that Sony recognizes the potential of a new gamer as a flagship for PSVR2.
A proper new WipEout with racer-like ship customization and licenses/cups, etc. would be insane. VR would be icing on the cake.

Re: Showa American Story Is a PS5, PS4 Action RPG Straight Out of the PS2 Playbook
Jiggly boob physics completely necessary? I thought the industry had grown beyond this but it seems the DoA spirit lives on.
Beside this it looks like a decent "7.0 score" jank of a game.
Re: Summer Game Fest Will Return This Year
Does enough to fill the E3-sized hole left in the summer but I still miss those big old events that felt like gamer christmas.
Re: Konami Pisses Everyone Off for Castlevania's 35th Anniversary
I wish Konami would sell some of their franchises to Sony. At least one of the big three: Metal Gear, Silent Hill or Castlevania.

Re: Destruction AllStars January Update Will Make Key Changes to Gameplay, Presentation

Looking great but MC is kinda annoying.
Re: Naughty Dog's Neil Druckmann to Present at The Game Awards
Some Factions 2 crumbs, please.
Re: PS Now's GTA 3 Is Available to Stream Only
Broken game. Who cares.
Re: Rumour: New PlayStation Subscription Will Give Access to PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP Games
If true I hope Monster Hunter Freedom Unite makes the cut for the PSP classics roster so I don't have to get a Vita.
Re: Reaction: Merging PS Plus and PS Now Makes Sense, But an Xbox Game Pass Competitor Can't Be Half-Arsed
If access to the classic catalog is not half-assed then I wouldn't undersestimate its ability to stand against gamepass. Sony has way better classic IPs than xbox but they have to work with publishers in order to get the strong third-party titles.
Re: Battlefield to Become a Connected Universe with Multiple Games and Experiences
This is how the Battlefield franchise finally dies, chasing trends. Feel bad for BF1942 which as a bonafide groundbreaking masterpiece.
Re: Fanatec's Gran Turismo 7 Racing Wheel Available to Pre-Order from $700 Now
Can't wait to see an Elden Ring GT7 wheel no-hit run.
Re: Kojima Productions Expands into TV, Film, and Music
This man is the greatest snake oil salesman the game industry has ever seen. Molyneux pales in comparison.
Re: PlayStation Studios Has More than 25 PS5 Games in the Works, Jim Ryan Reiterates
I hope one of those 25 is a new Bloodborne or a Demon's Souls 2 following the "pure" souls formula.
Re: Here's the Obligatory GTA Trilogy PS5, PS4 Bugs and Glitches Compilation
Crazy to think that it was Rockstar that pulled this year's Cyberpunk.
