Jaffe is dead wrong; Sony and Jim Ryan DO owe somebody — namely, the people who invest in PlayStation through console and game purchases, as well as investors in the company.
The game looks just awful. It's pretty much in line with other Yuji Naka games, as far as I'm concerned. The only game of his that I have liked is Girl's Garden. Sonic and Nights are two of the most overrated properties ever, imo.
It is unofficially (soon to be officially) OVER for EA and their loot box/micro practices. This will cause major action by multiple government bodies and will induce a ripple effect to include 2K, Activision, etc. What a fantastic day!
From what I saw of my friend streaming FF7R, it was largely a cutscene-heavy walking/running simulator more than anything, so I'm not interested. The others don't appeal to me at all.
Sifu was the only thing shown we had not seen before; a couple other new announcements would have made this show so much better. I'm glad I didn't watch it live and could fast forward through much of it. Kena still looks cool, btw.
@get2sammyb @MichaelHawj Actually, I personally was really upset when they removed the full season mode years ago (and haven't bought The Show since they did). Not all of us like franchise mode, it's unnecessarily complicated.
@ShogunRok I have no interest in Mass Effect, but the original has much better lighting and more realistic facial features. The remastered characters look cartoonish... I also recall you prefer the replacement Peter Parker, so I'm not convinced that your perspective is on target to start with.
Wow, that's extremely disappointing news — would have loved a DD reboot. There still is nothing like the original on PS1 — I STILL play it today now and again (and I very rarely replay games of any nature, other than old arcade games).
Wreckfest was boring as all get-out, and we need a better option.
Loved: Star Wars (A New Hope), Empire, Return
Liked a lot: Mandalorian

Disliked: Rise of Skywalker
Really disliked: Attack of the Clones
As for Lego games — I don't really find them interesting. If the gameplay loop were to be different, I'd potentially be very interested in this game.
I really like several (but not all) Housemarque titles. I am not a fan of rogue-likes. Perhaps most importantly, it looks too busy/fast for me to follow in places. I think I will pass on this one or wait for an extreme discount.
@TG16_IS_BAE You’d have to think it would be crazy of Sony not to, right? If From weren’t willing to (and I still hope they are), I wonder if Team Ninja or Bluepoint would be able to do it justice?
@TG16_IS_BAE I didn’t like it much at first, but it grew on me after a second try a year later. I’d love it if they made more good Soulsborne games instead, though.
I can’t see how anyone could rate this show any better than “poor”. Keighley’s shoes alone were a fiasco, and nothing of note was announced except Perfect Dark.

Re: Days Gone Director on Skipped Sequel: 'If You Love a Game, Buy It at F***ing Full Price'
What a jerk. Hey — make a better game and maybe I’ll be motivated to buy it day one.

Re: Returnal Gets New PS5 Gameplay Footage in Another Housemarque Dev Diary
This is looking rather interesting to me — for the first time. I'll wait for reviews and may grab it.
Re: Sony Suggests MLB Made the Decision to Include MLB The Show 21 on Xbox Game Pass
I think Sony is badly missing Shawn Layden right now.

Re: Mini Review: Kaze and the Wild Masks (PS4) - A Tough But Fun 2D Platformer
Not huge on the art style; will give this a pass.
Re: MLB The Show 21 Dissects Gameplay in Extended Livestream
Alfonso Soriano isn't remotely close to a legend though...

Re: This Is How MLB The Show 21's Stadium Creator Will Work
@GamesVanDerBeek That's really cool. It's amazing what people have done with rosters.
Re: This Is How MLB The Show 21's Stadium Creator Will Work
@GamesVanDerBeek Yeah, I just wish people could focus on the positives. But I can understand some degree of disappointment.
Re: This Is How MLB The Show 21's Stadium Creator Will Work
@GamesVanDerBeek That would still be a great feature for PS4 owners, though. I'm just as excited about trying others' stadiums as making my own.
Re: This Is How MLB The Show 21's Stadium Creator Will Work
Absolutely stoked. Unique features and dimensions make things more interesting. I wish modern baseball had more of it.
Re: MLB The Show 21's Stadium Creator Is Exclusive to Next-Gen
Woooooooooooot!!!! Finally a reason to buy The Show again; last purchase was the first one on PS4.
By the way, that ad is awesome.
Re: First Free Play at Home Game Available Now on PS4
It was pretty good till the drowning stage, where I gave up after numerous tries.
Re: Soapbox: Man, Remember Black?
Played it recently on Game Pass. First several levels were great but it got repetitive and crazy hard, so I left it there.
Re: Soapbox: Man, Remember Black?
@MFTWrecks Never noticed it lol
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Games for March 2021?
From what I saw of my friend streaming FF7R, it was largely a cutscene-heavy walking/running simulator more than anything, so I'm not interested. The others don't appeal to me at all.
Re: Worry No Longer, Kena: Bridge of Spirits Is a $40 Game
A $40 price point for this kind of indie game is ridiculous.
It should be at least $60.
Re: Interview: Returnal PS5 Developer Housemarque Talks Story, Replayability, and Value
@sajoey Hmmm... encouraging words. Maybe still a chance for me to get into it.
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced During Sony PlayStation's State of Play Livestream?
Sifu was the only thing shown we had not seen before; a couple other new announcements would have made this show so much better. I'm glad I didn't watch it live and could fast forward through much of it. Kena still looks cool, btw.
Re: Interview: Returnal PS5 Developer Housemarque Talks Story, Replayability, and Value
No one here has addressed the gameplay, which looks incredibly busy — hard to follow what is going on a lot of the time. Hard pass.
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Expect from This Week's State of Play?
It was the one-armed man.
Re: Jeff Minter Returns with Moose Life, Available Now on PS4
Minter is extremely overrated imo. He's largely known for ports or games derivative of other more original games.
Re: MLB The Show 21 Brings Back Truncated Season Mode March to October
@get2sammyb @MichaelHawj Actually, I personally was really upset when they removed the full season mode years ago (and haven't bought The Show since they did). Not all of us like franchise mode, it's unnecessarily complicated.
Re: Mass Effect Legendary Edition Graphics Comparison Shows a Significant Step Forward
@ShogunRok I have no interest in Mass Effect, but the original has much better lighting and more realistic facial features. The remastered characters look cartoonish... I also recall you prefer the replacement Peter Parker, so I'm not convinced that your perspective is on target to start with.
Re: Interview: An Exclusive Chat with Lou Studdert on Crash Bandicoot 4's PS5 Upgrade
Great timing — it was something I was going to start up in a few weeks; now I can play the PS5 version, instead.
Re: MLB The Show 21's Jackie Robinson Edition Will Bundle PS5 and PS4 Versions, Sony Will Make $1 Donation for Every Copy Sold
Beautiful. Now Sony needs to work on making the gameplay as fun as the Super Mega Baseball series.
Re: PS5 Owners Confused by Incorrect Profile Listings for Games
Happening to me too. No idea why. Can confirm it's not related to the REVIII demo, as I have not downloaded/played it.
Re: Destruction AllStars Launch Trailer Hypes Up PS5 Multiplayer Mayhem
Not impressed with this one.
Re: Destruction AllStars Commits a Cardinal Sin with Voice Chat
Unfortunately, I find the game really simple and uninteresting, so I won't be affected by voice chat.
Re: A Potential Destruction Derby PS5 Revival Ultimately Became Destruction AllStars
@Voltan I see. Thanks!
Re: A Potential Destruction Derby PS5 Revival Ultimately Became Destruction AllStars
@Voltan Thanks for your feedback. How is the single player content?
Re: A Potential Destruction Derby PS5 Revival Ultimately Became Destruction AllStars
@Brasilkilla I'm totally with you!

Re: PlayStation Studios Poised to Publish First Ever Xbox One Game
@AdamNovice MS had better think twice before it considers extending a curtsy — Phil Spencer might pull his gracilis muscle or something.
Re: Next Tomb Raider Game to Blend Originals with Reboot Trilogy
YES!! The original games were the best!! This news made my year!

Re: Talking Point: How Often Do You Use PS5's New UI Features?
Prefer the PS4 UI by far thus far.
Re: Shadow of the Tomb Raider - Sloppy Story, Fun Puzzle Platforming
This one is fine. I prefer Rise overall, of the new three. The original Tomb Raider (PS1) is still the best by far.
Re: PS Plus January 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Announced
Played Shadow already. No interest in Maneater. Greedfall is a maybe but seems a little dull.
Re: Returnal Looks Super Cool in New Gameplay Clips
I really like several (but not all) Housemarque titles. I am not a fan of rogue-likes. Perhaps most importantly, it looks too busy/fast for me to follow in places. I think I will pass on this one or wait for an extreme discount.
Re: PS5 Hardware Trailer Is Completely X-Rated
I literally thought it was NSFW. lol
Re: Ubisoft Shoves XP Boosting Microtransaction into Assassin's Creed Valhalla a Month After Launch
@Jimmer-jammer No, I don't think he is better than that.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Guide: Tips, Tricks, and Strategies
@Kidfunkadelic83 Sorry, I don’t get it.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Guide: Tips, Tricks, and Strategies
Tips, Tricks, and Strategies:
1. Don't play this game.

I hope Keighley was paid a LOT to wear those blue high top sneakers with a suit. What a cad.

Re: PS Store Game Awards Sale Has lots of PS5, PS4 Game Deals
@thefourfoldroot I mean, it IS a PS Store sale. They are generally good deals for digital games; no more, no less.
