...to name just a few off the top of my head. I mean...PS1 and 2 are a near bottomless well of classics to pull from. For how much that tier costs, I'm still shocked they didn't do the "Netflix for games" setup everyone thought Nintendo would do with NSO. Am I crazy or is this a MASSIVE missed opportunity to do something revolutionary with legacy catalogs?
@Grimwood Had the exact same thought. I can appreciate the fact that Sony is being true to thier word and not leaving behind the PS4 players while stock is short but I'm still a little disappointed everytime I see that PS4 logo on the end of a trailer. I'm always like "oh, so this is last gen, then". Even Forbidden West, which looked and played amazing, I think could have been more if not held back to straddle both consoles. Ratchet and Clank and Returnal were both PS5 only but other than that...is there anything really big? Waiting for FF16 for this reason...
@themightyant Dang, sucks you had to pay so much for the import! I picked up an OG black label PS1 Japanese edition on one of my Japan trips a few years ago for 300 yen (roughly $3). Haha
Oh please...OH PLEEEASE be true!!! PLEASE!!! This is one of those lost gems Sony has sweped under the rug and ignored for decades. I'd never dare to dream for a remake or remaster...but am praying it comes to the PS Store even as just a ROM dump.
Hoping for a good price point obviously but I'd almost pay anything at this point. I'm so hyped! This is one of the main reasons I got a PS5.
My last hope is that it will be backward compatible and that the big VR1 games like Astrobot and Moss will have VR2 upgraded versions. No Mans Sky has already confirmed to be doing that so I don't think its too far fetched.
I just can't wait for a refreshed VR experience. VR1 was the last "magical" moment this aging gamer experienced but the tech is ancient now and I need this updated, high-res, feature-loaded headset in my life! Maybe it will even launch with another Astro Playroom which was a ball on VR1.
My wallet is ready, Sony. Throw it at me!
Yeah, not for me either. As cool as these game worlds look, I can't stand games that are hard just to be hard. I'll never touch a souls game. Any game that proclaims that its "souls-like" is an immediate pass for me.
I just need this thing to be backwards compatible. Pleeeease.
If it is...100% DAY 1. PSVR had its flaws, a few big ones in fact, but it was a revelation for what gaming can be. Hands down that Astro Bot, Moss, and No Mans Sky on VR are some of the most magical experiences a gamer can have right now.
I think its safe to assume that PSVR2 will resolve most, if not all of 1's flaws and if thats true its gonna be MIND BLOWING. Cannot wait.
Even though I'm fluent in Japanese, I still usually prefer the English tracks when I play RPGs. I mainly only play in Japanese to avoid strong language like frequent F-bombs (which I'm praying aren't featured here). Japanese doesn't technically have curse words the way we do.
@Ultrasmiles Please don't mention Kingdom Hearts in an FF16 article. Its bad juju. Haha. Let's keep those two things as far away from each other as possible! Lol
I never expected turn based combat to make a return (I wish) but the apparent absence of even so much as party members concerns me a bit. If you do only play as lone Clive the whole game, I feel like a lot of the FF heart and soul will be missing.
I'll be a day 1 buyer assuming its backwards compatible. Hoping the price is reasonable and stock is available.
I'm extremely curious about the details. We all expect it to be very expensive but will the fact that its still tethered to the PS5 help boost performance without jacking up the price? How much will the vastly improved resolution and frame rate help with motion sickness?
LOVED PSVR but I'm super over it and just want the PSVR2 now. I wanna play Moss 2 (and others) so badly but I can't bring myself to use those blasted ancient Move controllers anymore. The tech of the headset is just so outdated now.
YES. I've been waiting for this one forever and was just showing my wife the old trailer a few days ago. Hoping the PS5 version is a true PS5 game with full duelsense integration, 60 fps, etc and not just an upscaled "last gen" game.
@BigBoom3ai3 You're not alone. The things they did right they really did right but the things they got wrong were VERRRY wrong and basically ruined the game imo (the last few chapters were mind-numbingly stupid). I played through it when it came out and had very mixed feelings. Just this week I've decided I'm finally ready to go through again and its been a bit better since my expectations are in check. I'm finding I just wanna battle and grind and there are like...no enemies anywhere. Haha. Its very hallway simulator.
While I'm sure this looks good to some, this new format is about as far from something I'd personally want as you could possibly get. I likely wouldn't even sign up for any if it even if it was free. In the end, I'm praying they just release a bunch of PS1 classics from game prison for individual purchase.
There is hope! I for sure won't be subscribing to anything but will definitely buy a few PS1 games if I can individually like Megaman Legends, Legend of Dragon, Vagrant Story, etc.

Re: Soapbox: I Tried So Hard to Like Elden Ring, But I Just Couldn’t Do It
Yeah, not for me either. As cool as these game worlds look, I can't stand games that are hard just to be hard. I'll never touch a souls game. Any game that proclaims that its "souls-like" is an immediate pass for me.

Re: Final Fantasy 16's English Cast Will Speak with British English Accents, Not American
@nicc83 Oh, absolutely. From my experience I would say 90% of the F-bombs are not justified from the Japanese track at all.
Re: Final Fantasy 16's English Cast Will Speak with British English Accents, Not American
Even though I'm fluent in Japanese, I still usually prefer the English tracks when I play RPGs. I mainly only play in Japanese to avoid strong language like frequent F-bombs (which I'm praying aren't featured here). Japanese doesn't technically have curse words the way we do.
Anyway, VERY excited for this game.

YES. I've been waiting for this one forever and was just showing my wife the old trailer a few days ago. Hoping the PS5 version is a true PS5 game with full duelsense integration, 60 fps, etc and not just an upscaled "last gen" game.
Re: Final Fantasy 7 News Planned for Game's 25th Anniversary Next Month

Re: Poll: Are You Sold on PS Plus Extra or Premium?
While I'm sure this looks good to some, this new format is about as far from something I'd personally want as you could possibly get. I likely wouldn't even sign up for any if it even if it was free. In the end, I'm praying they just release a bunch of PS1 classics from game prison for individual purchase.
Re: PS Plus Extra, Premium Tiers Will Be Refreshed Monthly with New Games
As someone who only cares about the classic games and literally no other feature on any tier, this has so far been quite a hard pill to swallow. Lol
Re: You May Already Own Some of the Retro PS Plus Titles
There is hope! I for sure won't be subscribing to anything but will definitely buy a few PS1 games if I can individually like Megaman Legends, Legend of Dragon, Vagrant Story, etc.
