@ShogunRok Yeah I still prefer the PS4 interface.

@zhoont Yeah I can't see why I would play this as opposed to replaying the original (not that I replay games).

@Dominator2885 DD's narrator pretty much makes the game — he's that good.

Tailby has it right!

I'm one of those who hasn't played Borderlands 3. In fact, I haven't played any of them . I don't find them appealing in any way, from the art style to the general vibe.

@Shepherd_Tallon Yes! We NEED King's Field.

Played them all and beat them all, including all the DLC, but I've always said the games would be better if they were about 15% easier, and I stand by that. Also nothing wrong with offering difficulty options for people who are not as skilled or who are disabled.

I would be really excited if it were Horizon gameplay with Lego characters and sets; but I'm sure it features the usual Lego gameplay, which I'm not a fan of.

Had no problem with it before, have no problem with it now.

Awesome update. Unfortunately, I rarely go back to a game once I've closed it out. And my backlog is insane. So probably I will just wait for the new one, which I'm pretty excited about.

@Olmaz My thoughts, as well. Good for you.

Just hoping Keighley can find the class to wear shoes, rather than his appalling sneakers. with his odd suits.

So many of these Sekiro/GoT clones now or upcoming; going to have to rely on reviews before getting hyped about most of them (Wukong does still have my attention, though!).

@Deljo Yeah, the head of Naughty Dog clearly has nothing to do his team being successful. Lol

Declining attention spans, instant gratification culture, and the dumbing down of society are the likely culprits.

Way to ruin a franchise, Atari! Why can't somebody just make a decent Yars' Revenge sequel?

Don't care. Have had zero interest in the entire series since day one.

Another awful selection.

Great news. The more they fail hopefully the more they push companies to stick with single player games.

@ShogunRok Bicorn Overlord would be more "correct", but Duocorn definitely sounds way better!

Please make an actual tactics RPG next instead of a micromanagement sim.

This sounds like DD1. It was so hyped to me as an amazing cult classic must-play, and I put in a good number of hours trying to find the fun. Eventually, I realized it just wasn't. I think all the above comments have convinced me to pass on DD2, which I was already leaning toward doing.

Not interested, tbh. Not a huge fan of parrying as a primary mechanic, the creatures are gross, and the world is apocalyptic/destroyed and depressing; as a result, it's not a setting I want to spend time in.

@CrackmanNL He may have done some good things in the past, but it's pretty obvious with the timing of everything that he was asked to leave. He pushed all these live service games and put the company in a serious hole. He oversaw the awful Bungie acquisition. There are almost no PS5 first party exclusives. He has no respect for classic games and Playstation's history (he has been quoted on this), and the PS Premium lineup has largely been a joke. He has no gaming sense, and most of us are thrilled he is gone.

I found the demo dull, but they obviously put a lot of effort into it, so I was generous and gave it a 5. If you actually fought the battles, I think it could have grabbed my attention. For background, I'm a huge Vandal Hearts and FFT fan, so it's not like I don't enjoy Tactics RPGs.

Celebrating the man who helmed the ship and crashed it into an iceberg feels really odd. He set PlayStation back a decade.

I think this looks pretty amazing and is a very creative take on the genre. Hopefully the gameplay lives up to the promise shown here.

Majora's Mask for the first time ever. I was never interested in it, but a friend encouraged me to try it. I beat Ocarina of Time for the first time last year, even though I have owned it since release.

I recently wrapped up FF 16

Hope she doesn't ruin her beauty to get all jacked up.

Amped about this. The only negative is it is lacking TR4.

No issue with this. Naughty Dog makes elite single player content, and many of us want more of that.

@ItsBritneyB_tch Didn't disown them, that's the part that sounds silly. I also don't tell them what to enjoy, which also sounds silly. But I don't have to pay for their bad taste.

I just get them gift cards now.

I bought my nephews and niece a Switch years ago, along with Mario Odyssey. Months later, I found out my youngest nephew only was using it, and he was only playing Fortnite with it. No one had touched Mario Odyssey. That was the final time I bought them any gaming items. It was a sad day.

Would be ironic if we got former Intellivision Amico games Cloudy Mountain and Night Stalker (developed by Digital Eclipse) published by Atari...

New King's Field — please!!!!

@OmegaStriver Ah, I read you now. Well said.

@OmegaStriver $60 is long gone. It sucks, but inflation happens.

Hoping it all goes to crap and they get back to focusing on what made Sony great in the video game marketplace — single player narrative-driven games with strong gameplay mechanics.

We got Ryaned.

@Nem I'll praise the non-fictional Lord instead but not for something like Jim Ryan leaving.

@Tielo Sorry, but I just don't see it. There are almost no first party exclusives on PS5, PS Plus is just a rehashing of PS Now, and games as a service is now the dominant focus. On top of this, Ryan has alienated his competition while making Sony look weak and whiny. I feel like literally anyone could have run the company better. Ryan stood on the shoulders of Layden while pulling the rug out from under true PS fans.

The company has felt aimless under Ryan's leadership, and his lack of respect for the hardcore fanbase will be his legacy.

The right choice!

@MattBoothDev Yes, you are entirely correct. This is the exact point I have been trying to make from the start. I apologize if this was not clear.

@MattBoothDev i understand your points; you and I seem to be talking about different things when we talk about speed in this discussion. To explain it yet again, I have a friend who thinks the game characters literally move twice as fast across the screen at 60 fps as compared to 30. This is what some people here also seem to think. I was trying to correct that false perception.

As it relates to your example, let's say Spider-Man swinging from one end of the city to the other at 30 fps takes 5 minutes of gameplay time; at 60 fps, it also takes 5 minutes of gamelay time to do so — not 2.5 minutes.

If I'm mistaken about you and you DO believe the above is true, please go time it yourself before replying again, and you will see I am correct.

@MattBoothDev I don't want to keep arguing this point, so this will be my last post on this. Try playing Spidey or something at 30 FPS, time how long it takes you to di anything, and then switch it to 60 FPS and time it. It will be the exact same. Modern frame rate, in which physics is not tied to FPS, will not change the speed of the game. Input lag will be improved and things will look smoother, but nothing about the actual speed of gameplay is any different.

@MattBoothDev FPS is not speed. If you play a game at 30 fps and have a character run across a field, taking let's say 10 seconds, it will take you the same 10 seconds to run across the field at 60 fps. Higher frame rate simply captures more frames of that movement to smooth that motion. The only exception is in cases where the physics of the game is tied to the frame rate, which is suboptimal at best.

@Ainu20 Having never really played it, I'd prefer a 60 fps treatment, given today's expectations. I find 30 fps pretty painful nowadays.

@Ainu20 Fair points, yes. I'd like to think they could put in the effort to make them run at 60 fps, but maybe it's too much to ask for.

@c_monster That's a fair point. But I would think they could put some time into it and fix it, as many other remasters have done? (Some above were confusing FPS with speed of gameplay.)

People need to stop confusing frame rate with speed; the game would be no slower at 30 FPS, just much less smooth in motion. That said, I'm not happy with this news and may just not bother.
