feral1975

Not a fan of Horizon, GoW or Grab Turismo, and never finished Spider-Man, just got bored with it. The Square Enix game looks interesting gameplay wise, but the character art/animation was lacking.

New Wipeout hopefully.

@thefourfoldroot
Hmm, maybe just wishful thinking or I just took a quote from somewhere and read too much into it.
It would be good for everyone if that was the case though.

@thefourfoldroot
Didn't Sony say all future games will have VR baked in, in preparation for PSVR2?
If that's the case then they might be heavily involved.

@get2sammyb
You kinda need things like that, their loss is offset by profits from triple A games and then the best parts get integrated by the next generation of triple A games.
I suppose a sideways analogy in music would be bands or individuals who make groundbreaking music that push boundaries and don't sell well, but are kept on because they then help create the next generation of artists who take the ideas and make them more sellable.

@jokkp
I've no interest in the games, there's no sense in clogging up the library with them.
Plus it's a message, Sony will have stats on people like myself who have not only refused to download or add them, but have also turned off the auto renew.
I don't play online, have zero need of the cloud saves or plus related discounts and only subscribe for the games.
The games are not free, and if they're not up to a good enough standard then a message needs to be sent.

Won't be adding any to the library for the second month in a row.

I still haven't played my 360 copy I picked up a while back, but was thinking about playing it as I really enjoyed Control, should I wait it out or just play it now?

@Flaming_Kaiser
What about the people who only started a month or two back, not great for them.

@Milktastrophe
I don't necessarily disagree with you, at least the first part. But they worked faster in the old days because they'd bring the ideas in front of Sakaguchi and he was a powerful enough voice (for better or worse) to make a definitive decision and then they'd move on.
That's what has been their problem for years, and is documented.
Tetsuya Nomura was useful in pushing FFVII to another level, but since then he has become the antithesis of Sakaguchi, making fleeting decisions and reversing them based on popular culture, similar to heads of western studios ( FFXIII becoming a musical after watching Les Miserables for example)
Edit - I get your point about the transition to voice acting in FFX, though, it's understandable they might have lost a lot of story driven dialogue during that.

That was a lovely looking game, lighting was sublime, no idea what was going on though.

@Milktastrophe
Hmm...I disagree, FFX was impressive but it sacrificed freedom which was a large part of the appeal of the earlier games, but X-2 was awful, an example of Square changing to please journalists and demographics who had badly reviewed/played FFX who didn't even like the genre.
In terms of an FF sequel even Revenant Wings was better.
VII, VIII, XI and earlier iterations were done with a year or so between them. Unfortunately since then they've been chasing the whole photo realistic high budget format
Which isn't necessary a bad thing but they could release more story/character driven mainline entries that aren't quite as high budget, if well done they'd still hold up the franchise and sell well.

Wow! Some serious posts here, all I'll say is I'm glad my 2 year embargo on almost all new games seems sound.

I'm all for more people getting to experience Final Fantasy on whatever platform or service they use, but I really miss the days of almost daily announcements and a game every year or two. Ever since Sakaguchi left/was fired they seem to have dragged their feet on decisions that weren't necessarily much better than his bad ones.

"Death Standing"?

Out of that list, very few, and certainly not at those prices

Someone's not getting hired again 😁

@pip_muzz
The concept was sold on consoles that were available at the time, if they were aware of new consoles they would have had NDAs to not discuss them. Games are announced on older consoles all the time but get copies for old and new platforms on release.
If it was upgraded to Xbox Series X it should have been upgraded for PS5. The Xbox One owners are in the same boat as the PlayStation owners, if they want the best experience their only limited choice is to buy the Xbox Series version.

If a console manufacturer believes in their platform enough it shouldn't matter, they'll still get money.
It's a different matter for in-house studios that have been created from the ground up, while I think it's still unfair for the consumer at least they've put the effort and money in from the start.

The same also applies for any Insomniac games, or any other previously independent studios as I loath the idea of any console manufacturer buying developers up and keeping them for themselves.

@pip_muzz
I can't speak for everyone else, but I would have bought a Series X if it had enough games that interested me, at the moment one game does not justify that.

It IS a hobby and not everyone has the money to buy every console, even if there wasn't a global shortage.
Some people who are console biased for whatever reason are calling this a 1st party game, it's not, it was conceived and initially financed by gamers who represent both console options and PC.

Doublefine was scooped up while it was late in development.
It's unfair that an equal experience isn't being offered to all interested gamers and also that it's being tied to digital only to try and sell gamepass.

People complaining is how companies know how share prices will react, if enough feel strongly about something then they can choose to amend their original plans, and sometimes that benefits everyone.

Double Fine games have been the only games I've bought digitally, to support them to hopefully get a Psychonauts sequel. That said I do find it a kick in the teeth after that to not get the best version released for both Xbox and Playstation.

If you want to talk about settling for an inferior version, I would have been happy to have the game without the Microsoft funded extra bosses etc. As long as everyone was able to enjoy it equally.
But they sold out, and you can bet a third full game won't be available on PlayStation in the future.
With that in mind I sure as hell won't pay £50 for a digital copy.

If that's true it'll be another month I'll not even add them to my library.

@fR_eeBritney
I almost tried it a few times myself, managed to hold off instant diabetes though 😆

@get2sammyb
I agree, it would be good to go in, fix up old deteriorated roads and ziplines etc. and try out the new toys. But I wouldn't want to fork out for it unless it was a whole new game. Does appear to have deviated from its original idea of encouraging the player to avoid fighting though.

@PlayNation5
I don't have broadband, just limited data on my phone, so streaming wouldn't be an option for me.

Good thing I've cancelled my PS+ then. I was mildly interested in this and
Scorn out of all of Xbox's previously announced games and I'm really rather annoyed they get the best version of Psychonauts 2, but that's definitely not enough to justify me buying an X Box Series X, pity, wish they either had more to offer or let Double Fine release a physical PS5 copy of Psychonauts 2.

Psychonauts 2 🤣

Still subscribed to Play, as long as they have exclusive interviews and in depth articles it's not changing any time soon.

Honestly, I don't care how well these end up, they've been wringing GTAV to death, and with certain people leaving and suddenly re-doing these it makes me think they're trying to get as much money as they can before they unleash a GTAVI that they already know will fall on its arse because of the current climate.

Well if it's not a scam, then it's different from the previous trailer as it is actually happening on the viewer's PS5, theoretically they could have any code in there to mess with it later and not play the same way. It's got to have some weird twist like that or what would be the point of having a real-time app over a standard trailer.

@Bamila
No disrespect, but that response is part of the problem.

Oh God no! Clunky gameplay with shinier graphics!? Yuck! No thanks!

Considering the last 2 months games offerings, they should include it at no extra cost.

Don't think I'll bother.

That's good I'm sick of having to go online to compare trophies to a friend just to get a better view of trophy progression.

Woeful selection.

@wiiware
You can still get it for that £40, that extra money doesn't get added into making the game.
Publishers will allow the same budget either way, they still make huge profit at either price.
You're just petitioning to give them extra money for nothing, and it's not like the developers get rewarded and see a bonus if the game price is increased, it just goes to shareholders. 😆

@theheadofabroom
In the mid 90's the publishers tried to charge up to £80 for some games, and people stopped buying them new and they had to reduce prices, it was still the same AAA titles.

Price does not dictate the quality of the game, publishers have historically tried every now and then to try and push the boundaries to see if customers are stupid enough to fall for it. They need to be slapped down each time, they still make plenty of profit on £40 games so don't help to pedal that misinformation.

@theheadofabroom
Total nonsense, stop enabling greed by normalising overpriced games.

@wiiware
I hope it's a full £40 or less game...talk about turkeys voting for Christmas 🙄

Two online games, one that should probably be free to play and a bloody tennis game. Terrible month.

Is it getting a physical release?

What is the thing with Japanese games and words beginning with Re!?

Fingers crossed for a Christmas release

Really hope this doesn't cause problems for Lego Star Wars or end up with Microsoft or Sony blocking Lego games from appearing on other consoles, I really dislike the chomping up of games developers that seems to be the current fad.

Good thing I didn't buy it when it came out, might still wait until it's on sale though.

@Areus
Yeah, that was the vibe I've been starting to get from reading the comments, sounds good if that's the case.

Haven't played it and won't do until it's £40 or so.

@LiamCroft
Well if it's not they're doing a good job, must've put a lot of work in, worth checking it out at least 😁

The channel's now called Adandonedthegame

There was a stream earlier with Morse code. Go to the Blue Box YouTube channel (Abandonedthegame), the video 'Till Death Do Us Part' looks totally like it's the PT corridor, and the logo is slowly starting to change, like it might become the PlayStation studios logo.
