@get2sammyb we’re certainly getting a second retro collection as they usually do 2 yearly and something tells me Ace Attorney fans won’t have to wait long for a new game anyway.
@Dman10 it took me 9 hours to beat the game (ingame time. Switch 2 says I played for 15 hours and I think that’s because the ingame timer doesn’t track menuing and cutscenes) and I felt like I was quite thorough with exploring everything. I’ve heard people take them as long as 12-15 hours however (again, ingame). There is a speedrun trophy for doing it in 4 hours but that probably requires running past everything.
This game is already gorgeous on Switch 2. Can’t imagine how beautiful it would be on Ps5 Pro. Sadly I don’t own a pro and will likely never buy one as I don’t use my Ps5 enough these days.
I beat Yakuza Kiwami 3 literally while Resident Evil Requiem was installing yesterday so I’ll be playing that one. Also I’ll be running through another Capcom Belt Action Collection Beat Em Up with an American friend of mine like we’ve done every Saturday for the past 3 weeks now.
@saffeqwe that pro and con do not contradict eachother One is about the quality of a gameplay type, the other about the quantity. Sounds like the quality is high but the quantity is low.
It’s weird how Nintendo had all Mina the Hollower marketing for years, game gets delayed 2 weeks before release, silence for 4 months and suddenly it reappears with PlayStation doing the marketing.
I started Star Wars Outlaws on my Switch 2. 18 hours in so far and really enjoying it. Besides that not much else. I’m planning on starting Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty soon.
After beating Quantum Break and Pokemon Legends Z-A this week it’s back to The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask. I’ve also been playing through Mega Man X and decided to finally give Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 a go after not playing Fortnite for a month now.
Besides those I’m debating on finally starting Metal Gear Solid 2.
Already pre ordered an NS2 copy. Beyond the arcade games and having played ps3 Y3 I’m going in blind. Also first time I’m not playing it on PlayStation after 11 years of playing them exclusively on PlayStation.
I’m still skeptical with Persona 4 Revival being the next big thing. My guess is we’ll get a final big P5 spin off, maybe a collection of the Q/Etrian Odyssey Persona games or the Dancing games and then P6 before the end of 2027.
Happy new year for everyone at NintendoLife, PureXbox, PushSquare and TimeExtension!
May GTA VI finally release! May Pragmata be an amazing new IP! May Ace Attorney 7 finally be announced! May we get some amazing first party games from Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony! And most of all, may we see little to none layoffs and may the AI bubble burst!
I’ve stopped caring about Ps+ value. I pay for online, I might occasionally play a free game, I’m satisfied regardless. (I know the free games is what we’re technically paying for since the ps3 days.)
EDIT: I do activate all games every month if I ever want to play it later.
Haven’t found a sidekick I want yet but Mothman Jr. came close. Each battle pass will have 1 side kick according to Epic so we’ll atleast get another “free” one next week.
@nhSnork XBC3 uses procedural generation which companies lump in with Gen AI these days but it isn’t Gen AI. Everything involved is still fully done by humans, they just make a code that puts those human made assets in a random sequence or order.
Minecraft uses the same tech and gen AI didn’t even exist in 2009.
Hopefull finishing Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter on the Switch 2 and starting Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance. Also some Fortnite with friends on Ps5.
So for digital it only counts the electricity cost of the installation of a once and done game towards the emission but for physical is considers everything from the extraction and refinery of oil to the hypothetical situation that people throw their games in the trash once they’re done with it making it landfill fodder
@Enigk Fortnite is generally known as the cheapest and most consumer friendly live service game due to how bundles work, how the game makes completing passes so easy and how the game showers you with Vbucks and free cosmetics and skins all the time.
Despite all that, yes, FN is still quite expensive
These pets/sidekicks are getting pushback because they’re as expensive as skins but have to be rebought every time you want to change their style. Something no other cosmetic in game has with the exception of a single 6 year old skin which is probably the most hated cosmetic in game to the point epic never tried it again until now.
@Porco between 0, 1, 5, 6, Code Veronice, Outbreak and Outbreak 2 we have a good 15+ years of remakes left and after those they can probably still do Revelations 1 and 2. By that time they can stop remaking RE games and just swap between mainline sequels, spin offs and spin off sequels.
@Dan12836666 that doesn’t even make sense as they keep rereleasing 5. And 5’s rerelease on Switch was during peak callout culture which we’re long past.
@Oram77 it’s great, people just want 0, 1 and CV to be playable as over the shoulder action horror games. It’s not really about what’s better, moreso about consistency between the modern games and the pre 7 games.
I’m excited for it personally but the expectations is that it’s gonna do numbers to the playerbase in a bad way. Ever since mini season 1 (Star Wars) the concurrent players has been dwindling and it’s been below 1 million for a month now which has never happened before.
Mind you 900k concurrent players is still insane for an 8 year old game and the daily unique players is still in the 10 million since its not the same people being logged in 24/7 obviously so the game is still healthy.
A bit mainly because I know Sony is capable of so much more and has done so much more. I do enjoy their modern stuff but I wish they never closed Sony Japan Studios.
At the end of Chibi-Robo on the Switch 2. After that I’ll try and finish Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice before Trails in the Sky: 1st Chapter releases. Maybe I’ll try and squeeze in Guacamelee.

Re: What Year Is It?! Neopets Is Coming to PS5 with a Minigame Collection This Month
This is genuinely gonna review so poorly because these games aren’t anything more than flash minigames.
However that doesn’t matter, this is for Neopets fans and people that grew up with Neopets. And I’m all for preservation of flash games.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 623
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, first time I’m using my Ps5 since I beat Uncharted Lost Legacy January 2026.
Besides that I just beat Azure Striker Gunvolt Enhanced Edition and Yakuza Dark Ties on my Switch 2.
I might also start Resident Evil Village or Street Fighter 6’s World Tour Mode.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask on Nintendo Switch Online. Also finally started Once Upon a Katamari on Switch 2
Still slowly working through Powerwash Simulator too. And been thinking about starting Resident Evil Revelations and Star Wars Outlaws.

Re: Embarrassing AI Art Plagues Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Launch
@Max_the_German the issue people have with AI isn’t that it’s poor, bad or low quality. It’s that it wasn’t made with intent and thought by humans.

Re: Fortnite's New Sidekicks Are Cute, But Fans Aren't Happy About the High Cost

@Porco between 0, 1, 5, 6, Code Veronice, Outbreak and Outbreak 2 we have a good 15+ years of remakes left and after those they can probably still do Revelations 1 and 2.
