It's very easy to bash Sony after the fact for this. Demon Souls was brutally difficult for the time. They created a whole new genre of video games. How would Sony have known the impact at the time?
That was pretty dumb Gamestop and didn't help you. Gamers that prefer physical games, used or new, have many other online or retail options besides your stores.
Doesn't anyone want to see Heavy Rain turned into a comedy? A detective falling down during a chase scene in a grocery store. Another guy shouting "Shaun" over and over again.
I'm sure this has been said many times before me, but the games sell the system, not the other way around. Provided the hardware is good of course. Innovative hardware can help but it's not the only reason for success.
@McBurn Yeah. There is no mention in this article about how this will be available in Japan. It's just compared to Atlus and Persona. If there is more detail on how it will be available, they should have included it in the article.
This is just sad. I never gave much thought to the media players going away, more the media itself. Nightmare where I have all these blu-rays but the players are no more. Probably time to buy a backup or two. I usually rip them to my Plex NAS but still would be good to have one to hook up to the TV should the PS3 or PS5 stop working.
It's fine if you like TGA but I'd rather do anything else. Will watch the trailers later. I miss the olden days with E3 when all the game trailers would show up on Gametrailers.com. I'd stay up late watching them during the week, then be too excited to sleep.

Re: Bad Handling of Demon's Souls PS3 Meant Sony Missed Out on Dark Souls Publishing
It's very easy to bash Sony after the fact for this. Demon Souls was brutally difficult for the time. They created a whole new genre of video games. How would Sony have known the impact at the time?
Re: Highly Anticipated PS5 Console Exclusive Lost Soul Aside Will Get a Blu-ray Release
That's good to hear. Game looks like a winner so far.
Re: Reaction: Xbox Publishing More Games on PS5 Than Sony Is Not a Gotcha, It's Just a Sign of the Times
And the console wars rage on but who really cares? I don't give a crap.

1. Lost Soul Aside, 2. Onimusha Way of the Sword. 3. Shinobi.

We have no control over this, just accept things as they are, find something positive and move on.
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Is Simply Stunning in New-Gen Features Trailer
Playing as a ninja in feudal Japan. Yes please.
Re: Sony Reiterates Major PS5 First-Party Games Will Launch in 2025, Anticipates High Performance
"Sony Reiterates Major PS5 First-Party Games Will Launch in 2025" Isn't that what the Sate of Play events are for Sony? Good Grief.
Re: After Astro Bot's Success, Expect More Family PS5 Games from PS Studios
Welcome news to me. There were a lot of dark action games during the last streaming event. Nothing wrong with them, but variety is a good thing.
Re: PS5's Onimusha: Way of the Sword Looks Outstanding in New Gameplay Trailer
Glad I'm not alone regarding the bad sounding dub. Looks and sounds great in Japanese.
Re: Lost Soul Aside Finally Launches for PS5 This May
One of the best trailers of the show by far. Cannot wait.
Re: Like a Dragon's Ichiban Off on Fitting Dave the Diver DLC Crossover
Wow, this is a surprise. Everyone wants to work with Dave the Diver.
Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Has You Racing Across Dimensions on PS5, PS4
Can't go wrong with Sonic Racing. This looks fun. One of the few colorful games during the presentation too.
Re: Shinobi: Art of Vengeance Is the First of SEGA's Old Franchise Revivals, and It Looks Awesome
Looks awesome. Already sold. Hope we get a physical version.
Re: Octopus Platformer Darwin's Paradox Isn't the Next Game We Expected from Konami
This looks really good. Stood out to me among some games that felt very similar in look.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Sony's State of Play for February 2025?
Darwin's Paradox, Sonic, Lost Soul Aside, Shinobi, Onimusha Way of the Sword. Some of the other games look and feel so alike. And not one RPG.
Re: Dragon Quest 12 Still in Development, Dev Reassures
We don't even have a trailer or even a teaser. How can we predict a release date? Hopefully we get some footage soon.
Re: Embattled US Retailer Trolls Customers for Picking Digital During PSN Outage on PS5, PS4
That was pretty dumb Gamestop and didn't help you. Gamers that prefer physical games, used or new, have many other online or retail options besides your stores.
Re: Forza Horizon 5 Confirmed for PS5, Out This Spring
Looking forward to checking this out on my PS5.
Re: Rumour: Xbox's Fable, Killer Instinct, More to Join Forza Horizon 5 on PS5
Not sure I'm interested yet in the new Fable, but I'd take the first 3. Love those games!
Re: PS3's Most Bizarre Game Will Have Its Own TV Show
Doesn't anyone want to see Heavy Rain turned into a comedy? A detective falling down during a chase scene in a grocery store. Another guy shouting "Shaun" over and over again.
Re: Xbox Boss Wants to Beat PS6 on Hardware Capabilities, Not Necessarily Games
I'm sure this has been said many times before me, but the games sell the system, not the other way around. Provided the hardware is good of course. Innovative hardware can help but it's not the only reason for success.
Re: A PS5 Re-Release of SEGA RPG Classic Skies of Arcadia No Longer Seems Up in the Air
Hope it's true. The originals are a lot of money now.
Re: Fans Are Buying Fewer Boxed Video Games Than Ever in the US
Yup, we get it guys, digital is taking over. Still wonder if these reports take into account how many games have no physical version available.
Re: Here's How to Get a Physical Copy of Ninja Gaiden 2's Remake for PS5
@EVIL-C I'll check out PNP Games. Thanks!
Re: Here's How to Get a Physical Copy of Ninja Gaiden 2's Remake for PS5
Video Games Plus also has this available for pre-order.
Re: Preview: Assassin's Creed Shadows Is the Golden Ticket Ubisoft Needs
Love the setting, I'm still interested.
Re: Days Gone Dev Says It Still Plans to Create 'Cool Sh*t' for PS5 After Live Service Cancellation
Hope they can make the game they want. Live service crap.
Re: Anticipated JRPG Sequel Trails through Daybreak 2 Gets a Big Demo Next Week on PS5, PS4
Glad there's a demo so we can all judge it for ourselves.
Re: Lunar Remastered Collection Brings Two Classic RPGs to PS4 in April
Never played these but heard nothing but love. Cannot wait to preorder a physical version. Play Asia has a PS5 listing for NA and EU.
Re: Horizon Hatred Simmers Once More As Sony Announces Movie Adaptation
Old man yells at cloud, x1000. Why is PS reporting this?
Re: Your Sleeping Dogs Movie Is Sleeping with the Fishes
Would rather see a sequel to the game anyway. I'm sure there are plenty of movies similar to Sleeping Dogs, at least in some ways.
Re: 34 Under the Radar PS5 Games to Watch Out for in 2025
Good looking stuff. I'm most excited for InKonbini. Hoping for a release date soon with physical versions.
Re: Random: Former IGN China Editor Refutes Game Science Crying Claim
What in the world are we talking about here?
Re: Falcom Pulls an Atlus, Announces a 'Significantly Upgraded' Version of Ys X: Nordics
@McBurn Yeah. There is no mention in this article about how this will be available in Japan. It's just compared to Atlus and Persona. If there is more detail on how it will be available, they should have included it in the article.
Re: Stunning Trails in the Sky Remake Confirmed for PS5 Release in 2025
Was hoping it would be out sooner but at least we know more now. Hoping we get an update on Lunar soon.
Re: The Witcher 4 Announced Starring Ciri
Oh heck yeah that was an awesome trailer. Kinda wish the Netflix show was this instead of live action.
Re: Naughty Dog's New PS5 Game Is Finally Announced, Sci-Fi Action Title Intergalactic
They know cinematic trailers. Looking forward to more.
Re: Like a Dragon Dev RGG Studio Announces Brand New Game Set in 1915 Japan
Looks awesome so far.
Re: Ex-Telltale Talent Announces Dispatch, a Superhero Comedy Adventure Game
This looks very cool. I love the characters and setting.

Very well deserved.

Been a long time but still happy to see it. Look forward to seeing some of the gameplay.
Re: We Don't Want to Leave the Cosy Vibes of Japanese Shop Sim InKonbini on PS5
Very interesting. I would love to visit a konbini in Japan, this may be the closest I'll get thus far.
Re: Physical Media Just Can't Catch a Break Right Now
@Oxy How did vinyl make a comeback again? Could it happen to Blu-Ray in 10 years?
Re: Physical Media Just Can't Catch a Break Right Now
This is just sad. I never gave much thought to the media players going away, more the media itself. Nightmare where I have all these blu-rays but the players are no more. Probably time to buy a backup or two. I usually rip them to my Plex NAS but still would be good to have one to hook up to the TV should the PS3 or PS5 stop working.
Re: Poll: Will You Be Watching The Game Awards 2024?
It's fine if you like TGA but I'd rather do anything else. Will watch the trailers later. I miss the olden days with E3 when all the game trailers would show up on Gametrailers.com. I'd stay up late watching them during the week, then be too excited to sleep.
Re: You Can Get Excited for The Game Awards, Says Reputable Journalist
That did the complete opposite for me. I want to watch TGA even less now, if that was even possible. I guess I went from 100% to 110% not interested.
Re: Former Blizzard Boss Slams Marvel Rivals, Comparing It to Horizon-Like Light of Motiram
If you delete your post, maybe think before posting to begin with.
Re: Fantastic 2022 RPG Chained Echoes Is Getting a Big Expansion Next Year
Good to hear. I wonder if the physical version from First Press Games will be readily available by then, or if the dev dumps them for someone better.
Re: Insiders Are Already Hyping Up The Game Awards, Set to Be a 'Very Big' Show
Always just wait for the game trailers and news to drop after. Don't care about any of the other TGA stuff personally.
