@PerpetualBoredom Because only rich people use AI for things?

What a stupid statement.

Studios just need to shut up and not tell people this stuff.

That’s it. That’s all. “It’s none of your business what tools we used to make this game.”

…I am HERE for this. Such a good game.

This remake is a masterpiece and I’m so looking forward to the next one.

Speaking as a series X owner who also owns Starfield on disc…we PS folk aren’t missing much. Unless you’re a massive, massive Bethesda fan, you’re honestly okay without this game in your life.

Can. Not. Wait.

Yakuza 3 was the first Yakuza game I ever played, and I am looking forward to this a lot.

@Nalim Well now you do, as I was able to upgrade for $1.99 the day it was released.

Marathon-in-name-only will be about a 0.4 on the Concord scale. Where 0 is a total and complete success and 1 is…well, Concord.

Update for physical owners as well? I can’t test at the moment as I'm at work!

Concord: “We killed a studio and cost Sony at least $300 million!”

Highguard: “Hold my mead.”

At least this thing is free to play. It’ll shamble on a while after release before collapsing. It won’t be a full Concord but it’ll be about 0.7 Concords on the Concord Fail Scale. Maybe 0.6 depending on the final budget.

“What gullible fools. We’ll release in December 2029, WELL before 2030!”

I read this headline without knowing what the heck a gong was. I VERY much misunderstood it…

@Balaam_ Unwarranted? That’s an odd way to describe a game that has near universal accolades, was made on a $10 million budget, is incredibly well done and supported and was worth every penny I spent on it.

LotF 1 (technically 2) has been on my backlog for ages, but dang 2 (technically 3) looks really good. Might have to move this up my backlog list.

If those non-limited-edition ones were mechanical, I might be tempted. Sadly the second hand points out that they’re quartz.

I’d love a PS themed mechanical but I’ve already got a ton of regular quartz watches, including a Pac-Man themed Timex. I’ll pass on these, sadly.

Hopefully this will be a movie-Sonic-result and the actual remaster will match the original designs. Because wow that trailer was god-awful in how it looked.

Picked this up for $20 on clearance at Target, looks like I was right to wait!

“Why is now the right time to tie the game into the movie?”

“Because a new movie is coming out.”

@Slayer25c That response couldn’t be any more stereotpically zoomer if you tried.

Also, saying that a reviewer or commenters that don’t like a basically 2d JRPG are “pass” their prime is rather hilarious, given that most of them likely cut their teeth on this style of game before you were old enough to walk.

I’ve been enjoying the heck out of this on my Switch 2 off and on. Really should pick it up for PS5, too!

It’s a resolution boost and image quality improvement for zero dollars.

Gamers are impossible to please.

@Drax007 A-freaking-men. Some of the English VAs are pretty decent but Kiryu is a COMPLETE miscast. That alone removed any desire I had to ever listen to an English LAD again.

@SeaDaVie There are western so-called “fans” who don’t understand why things in these games are the way they are and want them to be changed to cater to their sensibilities. This never ever goes well, and it’s usually people who don’t even play the games that are the complainers.

Damn right. They should make ZERO concessions to demands from the west for any kind of changes. Yakuza/LAD is great as it is and RGG knows what they’re doing.

@Vipor007 Let me know if you see an example sometime, then.

I was genuinely about to buy Lego Horizon for $19.99 on disc when I saw the announcement.

Saved me twenty bucks, so yeah I’m pretty darn happy with the games this coming month just for that!

@Vipor007 Which specific part of this article gives you that indication?

@JoeNobody …because this is a PS-centric site?

The fact that you can’t play Sky 3 in English outside of PC should make this a rather large no-brainer.

That said, I’m impatient and working on Zero right now, spoilers be damned. As much as I was left on a massive cliffhanger with Sky 1 remake, all the other games went on sale and I picked them up.

“Give us more money now so we can maybe make more stuff in this game that you can buy for even more money!”

Wow, way to sell me on buying your stuff, Ubisoft.

@themightyant …I have never heard that slang in over forty years on this earth as a native English speaker. Guess I live a sheltered life.

The other reason you might want to play the original version: If you don’t have a PS5.

Pretty big reason.

(Yes, I have a PS5 and own this game digitally and physically, so don’t hit me with “just buy a PS5 then!”)

These are all games I’ve considered but never purchased.

My patience has won out!

This sure is a change from the usual, “Sorry in advance, this next game is going to be a huge letdown.”

Refreshing honesty!

This pleases me. It’s a shame Sega couldn’t get the Switch 2 version to 60, but oh well! I’ll happily replay these in the very near future.

@FullMetalWesker Higher resolution, perhaps? And we still don’t know if Kiwami 2 will run at 60fps, nothing has been confirmed to my knowledge.

It would be utterly silly if it DIDN’T, but they couldn’t get it to 60fps on Switch 2 and you never know with Sega these days.

Who knows at this point? I just know I’m a sucker and will buy them no matter what because I’m an idiot!

Sega: “We want to offer our digital customers an upgrade and appreciate your business.”

Also Sega: “Eat s&$t and die, disc buyers lol”

Thankfully I own them all physically and non-PS-plus digitally, so the upgrade will be cheap alongside my preordered disc copies. But this is a pretty scummy move from Sega.

@LogicStrikesAgain Do I want Bungie in general to fail? Nah.

Do I want this game in particular to fail? Only because they used the name of a series I grew up with and loved as a skin suit. If they'd called it Jim Bob's Extraction Shooter instead, I'd feel nothing but "eh" for it rather than the annoyance I have at its existence. Pretty cringy? Perhaps, but I'd like to think that's the correct reaction to someone taking something you loved and completely altering it into something that feels utterly soulless.

As it is, I wish all the best to Bungie as a whole, but at this point my only interest in it will be how large Marathon's impact crater will be compared to Concord.

But hey, that's also just my opinion!

Given that the game requires a download, is the patch even optional when installing “from the disc” anyway?

@Kanji-Tatsumi Sorry to reply months later, but there IS a physical release for this game! I ordered it from play Asia, along with the Switch 2 physical copy as well! The import will play in English on both platforms.

Sorry, every other game. E33 is hopefully going to sweep every category it is in.

Bad year for Death Stranding 2 to come out.

“Interest” can mean a lot of things.

I sincerely doubt much of it is good at this point.

The harm is that it is Concord. Also, it still belongs to Sony and it is theirs to do with as they please.

Sony wants to forget it ever existed, and there are genuinely thousands of games worth play of before wasting time on dollar store Guardians of the Galaxy.

@AdamNovice It’s not the live service that’s the real issue. It’s releasing something like this and having the double whammy of “Oh, this PS property isn’t on PS, is that a problem?” and “Oh hell yeah, we AI’d the heck out of this game with AI!”

“How can we make people hate the idea of a Horizon mobile MMO that isn’t even on PlayStation even more?”

“Use AI to develop it and then brag about how extensively we used it?”

“BRILLIANT, get on that right now!”

Gamers: “Can we have a New Vegas port for our older systems?”

Bethesda: “Best I can do is a few tv episodes.”

I love the warped humor of the Disgaea series, and I’m definitely interested in this one for sure.

@KahnArtizt07 It did, as someone else also pointed out. I took advantage of it.

Doesn’t surprise me at all. Obviously Yotei will have technical improvements over its predecessor, especially being made for PS5. Sucker Punch obviously learned lessons with the first game and running it on newer hardware.

Story wise, it’s very hard to top GoT. Especially with Jin as the focus. Such a good character.

I’ll get to Yotei someday. Backlog is too high, and I’ll be happy with a used copy down the road.

Bungie does seem to be an albatross around Sony’s neck at this point.

It’s so deeply sad seeing the name that gave us the ORIGINAL Marathon, Pathways Into Darkness (deep cut for my fellow old school gamers!), Halo, etc reduced to this.

@Shigurui It did, and I took advantage of it at the time! It just blows my mind how Bethesda ever thought this was a good idea.

@LikelySatan Same. I want to like it but…I just don’t. I bounce off 4 every time I try.
