I enjoy getting trophies but an older game not having them won't stop me from playing it either way. Would it be better if they didn't release it at all?
Really not shocked. Look at the WB movie, TV and animation catalog. It's a way bigger deal IMO with classic IP all around. Really hope Netflix doesn't lock this all behind streaming, especially media that still hasn't been brought to home video. Maybe not the same thing, but worth mentioning that Netflix rarely lets an exclusive show out of streaming jail. Look at their exclusive anime properties. Can't think of one western blu-ray release.
Holy crap this is nuts. Video games are one thing but the movies and TV IPs is huge. Not a fan of this at all. So now Netflix owns all WB owns, DC, HBO, Warner Bros Archive, the classic cartoons from Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, Hanna Barbara, etc. Might have to kiss all future home media releases good bye. How can "they" allow this?
@FinneasGH Same here. And at first I was confused with 2 racing games published by THQ with Wreck in the name. But obviously they are not related and are different devs.
Even 2027 seems too early for a PS6. Some gamers are still on PS4 and the PS5 has plenty of life left in the tank. Why do we need a new console every 7 years?
At this point it should be free to play games and save online. But I think we should have to pay for other perks. Then let people decide if they need them. I don't play online games but enjoy said perks. Others are the opposite.
Happy 25th Anniversary PS2! Instead of focusing on negative let's focus on positive, like our memories of the launch. I camped out overnight at my local Best Buy. It was the first and last time, but it was great.
I remember looking at gaming mags in the summer of 1995. Should I get the Saturn or wait a couple months for the PS1? I preordered Sony's first console from Toys R Us. The PS1 got me back into gaming after I graduated high school. I love it. My PS5 grey controller just arrived today. I want a set of PS1 themed shells for the PS5 badly.
This seems to put the focus on prospective PS5 console purchasers affecting the games sales. What about everyone that already owns a PS5? There are a lot of them already.
I love animal companions in games so this trust mechanic sounds awesome. I'll be freeing every wolf I find. Maybe we'll get to see a wolf pack in combat along side Atsu.
It does suck, but not having an upgrade option seems to be more common these days. If the price for the trilogy is around $60, that's a good deal for newcomers like me. Wish it wasn't digital only, but that's also becoming more common.
This really sucks. Feel for those looking for work. I wonder if anything would be different if MS hadn't bought so many big publishers / studios in the last few years.
Live service at the expense of better single or traditional multiplayer games is an issue. Just imagine if instead of Concord or another future title, we had gotten a new Sly Cooper or Jak and Daxter game. Or a new IP in your favorite genre (JRPG, Action, Platformer, etc.). Ugh.

Re: Western Sales Have Saved the Trails Series, Falcom Boss Suggests
I'm very glad the games are available here and are selling well. But I wish they would also do well in Japan.
Re: Disappointment as PS2 All-Timer SoulCalibur 3 Launches on PS5, PS4 without Trophies

Re: Terminator 2D: No Fate (PS5) - A Brief Blast of 16-Bit Nostalgia
Too bad they didn't release a standard physical for the same price as digital. Not every collector cares about extra stuff.

Next on the list: Friday the 13th for NES and Jekyl and Hide for NES

@FinneasGH Same here. And at first I was confused with 2 racing games published by THQ with Wreck in the name. But obviously they are not related and are different devs.
Re: The Game Awards Hype Video Is a Nice Reminder It Isn't All About the Trailers
I won't sit through that. Not my cup of tea. I'll just watch the trailers later when they drop online.
Re: Switch 2 RPG Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma's PS5 Release Could Be Imminent
That's good to hear. Hope it does well. But I wonder why Rune Factory 5 skipped Sony consoles altogether. Can't figure it.
Re: Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter Dev Not Quite Sure Which Classic RPG to Remake Next
I haven't played Trails in the Sky, but if part 3 completed the story, WTH would they skip it's remake now?
Re: Tales of Berseria Remastered Set for PS5, $40 Game Out on 27th February
I already have the PS4 version so probably will skip it and wait for an older game.
Re: PS5 'In the Middle' of Its Lifecycle, Claims Sony
Even 2027 seems too early for a PS6. Some gamers are still on PS4 and the PS5 has plenty of life left in the tank. Why do we need a new console every 7 years?
Re: PS1 Minigame Compilation Milano's Odd Job Collection Makes Its Western Debut Next Month on PS5, PS4
Glad to see this is coming soon. Hoping for a physical but will get it either way.

Re: Confirmed: Oblivion Remastered's PS5 Physical Edition Requires 'Additional Download' to Actually Play
Another 20GB "physical" release from Bethesda. Pass.
Re: PS6 Release Date Touted for 2027, Cheaper But Less Powerful Than Next Xbox
2027 feels way too soon despite the pattern of previous releases. Unless the PS6 plays all generations of PlayStation games I am in no hurry at all.
Re: Oblivion Remastered's Anticipated Physical PS5 Release Will Require the Internet
Two discs aside, does it really cost that much more to load an entire version of the game vs 20GB of data?
Re: Sony Is a 'Terrible Company' That's 'Blowing It in the Games Business', Says Michael Pachter
Based on his rationale, he could say the same thing about Nintendo, couldn't he? What a joke.
Re: Official PlayStation Art Book to Mark 30 Years of Gaming History
Pass. Nice design but wish there was an affordable option.
Re: Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined's PS5 Characters Are Based on Real-Life Models
I think the Re-imagined graphics and characters look great. They still look like the work of Akira Toriyama.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy a PS1 at Launch?
I remember looking at gaming mags in the summer of 1995. Should I get the Saturn or wait a couple months for the PS1? I preordered Sony's first console from Toys R Us. The PS1 got me back into gaming after I graduated high school. I love it. My PS5 grey controller just arrived today. I want a set of PS1 themed shells for the PS5 badly.
Re: Second Trails in the Sky Remake All But Confirmed by Falcom Boss
Hope the game does well enough so parts 2 and 3 get the same treatment. Would be weird otherwise.
Re: PS5's High Price Becoming a Serious Headache for Publishers
This seems to put the focus on prospective PS5 console purchasers affecting the games sales. What about everyone that already owns a PS5? There are a lot of them already.
Re: There's More to Ghost of Yotei's Mysterious Wolf Companion Than We Thought
I love animal companions in games so this trust mechanic sounds awesome. I'll be freeing every wolf I find. Maybe we'll get to see a wolf pack in combat along side Atsu.
Re: Hands On: Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter Feels Like a Huge Step Forward for Falcom's RPG Series
Very excited for this game. Hope it does really well.
Re: Ys X: Nordic's Controversial Re-Release Skips PS5 for Switch 2 and PC
I already have the base game on PS5. I wish they would give us an upgrade path or sell the extras as DLC, whenever they make a PS5 version that is.
Re: LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight Is a Movie-Spanning Adventure Coming to PS5
Sweet! I'm totally in on this. Movies 4-5 don't hold a candle to 1-3, but I'd love another Indiana Jones LEGO game too.
Re: No Plans for Yakuza, Shenmue Cameos in New Virtua Fighter on PS5
Ryo Hazuki would be cool. I'd love to see him take out his rage on someone for Shenmue III.
Re: These New PS1 Toy Capsules Are Worth the Price of a Flight to Tokyo
Maybe you'll be able to get them through Zen Market.
Re: No Discount for Atelier Ryza Owners Hoping to Upgrade to New DX Versions on PS5, PS4
It does suck, but not having an upgrade option seems to be more common these days. If the price for the trilogy is around $60, that's a good deal for newcomers like me. Wish it wasn't digital only, but that's also becoming more common.
Re: Microsoft Reiterates It's the Top Publisher on PS5 in Earnings Call
Congrats MS. Per the story, 5 of those games would have come out on PS5 already had you not bought their publishers. But I guess take a bow.
Re: Oblivion Remastered Still Broken and Buggy on PS5, Even After Patch 1.2
Passing on this one altogether.
Re: In Unsurprising News, Even More Xbox Ports Are Allegedly En Route to PS5
@Shadcai Would love a Fable Collection but I'm not sure yet on the new game.
Re: PS5 RPG Remake Fate/Extra Record Delayed Again After Years and Years of Waiting
Never played the original but very interested in this remake when I first saw it.
Re: Reminder: This Is Your Last Chance to Grab PS5's Glorious 30th Anniversary Collection
@ryan_nil PS1 themed plates makes too much sense. They wouldn't even need to be limited. I'd buy them for sure. So many fans already own a PS5. Ugh.
Re: Official Ghost of Yotei Popcorn Bucket Triggers Tedious Takes on PS5 Exclusives
@nicc83 They didn't have white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get were those big yellow ones.
Re: Atelier Ryza Trilogy Returns in Massive PS5, PS4 Triple Pack
It's digital only but if the price is reasonable it's a no brainer for me since I don't own them.
Re: Poll: Are You Sold on Ghost of Yotei?
Absolutely. Yotei looks amazing in so many ways. I only wish there was a less expensive special edition option, something around $120 or so.
Re: Rumour: Unforgettable RPG Dragon Quest 7 Tipped for PS5 Release
Hopefully this proves true. I'm especially interested in DQ VIII.
Re: Ninja Gaiden Ragebound Looks Ridiculously Good in This PS5, PS4 Gameplay
Is the Special Edition coming to North America? I'm only seeing the Standard ones for sale online.
Re: Mass Xbox Layoffs Begin, Everwild and Perfect Dark Both Reportedly Cancelled
This really sucks. Feel for those looking for work. I wonder if anything would be different if MS hadn't bought so many big publishers / studios in the last few years.
Re: Sony Hasn't Given Up on Adding More PS3 Games to PS Plus Yet
A remaster / port makes too much sense for GTA4.
Re: Actor Charlie Cox Feels Like a 'Total Fraud' After Expedition 33's Success
I really like Charlie Cox even more now.
But I'm amazed a game with 33 in the title sold 3.3 Million copies in 33 days.
Re: The Next Xbox Is a PC, So What Does That Mean for PS6?
Very confusing. Will have to see the different devices but wonder about the advantages of the new Xbox hardware over other PC options.
Re: Random: Official PlayStation Console Diorama Pieces Are on the Way
Those look so cool, and detailed. I can think of several anime that showed what looked like Sony consoles, Himouto! Umaru-chan.
Re: Rumour: Gears of War PS5's Blu-ray Will Include the Full Game on the Disc
I would like a full game physical of Forza and Oblivion remake. Doubt that's happening.
Re: 'We Won't Make the Same Mistakes Again': Sony Reflects on PS5's Catastrophic Concord
Live service at the expense of better single or traditional multiplayer games is an issue. Just imagine if instead of Concord or another future title, we had gotten a new Sly Cooper or Jak and Daxter game. Or a new IP in your favorite genre (JRPG, Action, Platformer, etc.). Ugh.
Re: Atlus Says It's 'Actively Preparing' for the Future of Persona as Revival Gets Rough Reception
Excited for the full trailer and to learn more about the game.
Re: Persona 4 Remake Announced for PS5
Cool. Hoping this is a 2026 release.
