I was perfectly okay to pay $500 for a PS5 with disc drive. $300 more for a Pro version is just too much of a bump. If Sony had come out at $100-$150 more for the Pro, I don't think we'd see this much backlash. This is only for the hardcore of hardcore. Casual fans and average consumers are not going to buy this.

That's cool. Hopefully there will be more characters added, including from 3rd party games.

Good grief. Can't we give Astro Bot some more time? The game just came out last week. And you state yourself in the article this is for "physical UK sales for Astro Bot." So no digital sales numbers, and just one region, in less than 7 days.

Yikes. The PS4 Pro was $399 when it came out, the same price as the regular PS4 when it was first released. The PS5 digital was $399 so it's $300 more for a Pro?

I hope Bend's next game breaks sales records and has great reviews. But I have a feeling that won't change his attitude.

There are only a few franchises I can think of that buck the trends. God of War and Ratchet from the PS2 era, Gran Turismo from PS1 era. Maybe there are some others as well. I do wish Sony would make more games using older IPs, and give them to a different studio. They don't need to be made by the original developers if they are busy. Does a new Sly or Jak game really need to be AAA?

I never knew there was a connection, that's really awesome.

Speculators will buy anything and send it to WATA games right away too. "enterprising individuals" Ha ha!

Great uplifting stuff, we need more of this.

Good grief they have plenty of IPs to draw from, some to bring back while they also work on creating new IPs. There are so many that probably would be welcome back by gamers and loved by fans that maybe never played them before.

Looks interesting. Never heard of it before I saw the trailer pop up today on the PlayStation Youtube channel.

Cool. There are quite a few titles that could be remastered / remade for newer consoles.

Nothing like muddy waters. Now we wait for more info and get worked up in the meantime. Hopefully we'll have clarity sooner than later. I'm super hyped for this game but would prefer it on PS5 right now.

Good news here. There are a few other Tales games that are still stuck on old consoles, like Takes of the Abyss, etc. Hope they make it some day too.

In an alternate reality PS5 gamers forget the game is on their console and don't buy it, hurting the title's sales overall. Warehouses full of PS5 versions collecting dust. Head scratching for sure. They think we're morons?

And if you blink at the exact wrong time you'll miss the PS5 logo.

I didn't need to see this, already plan to play as Naoe as much as possible.

I know it won't be, but I would love to see a Fable Trilogy Collection on PS5.

Looks and sounds great. I still need to play CrossCode too.

Congrats to all at Tango.

Sounds like good news. I wish the folks at Tango all the best and look forward to their future game titles.

And water is wet. Sadly this is how things will continue to be. Anything that is limited or even perceived as such is bought by "resellers."

Yup. Tried this morning but couldn't, but worked just a bit ago.

Sweet. I didn't need a demo but I am happy to have it.

Wait. You can't export/import your Draft Classes into Madden? Maybe they'll release an update for this when Madden is released. That seems like a big oversight otherwise.

Looks really nice. Hopefully I can get one. Then I'll get the Nendoroid ASTRO figure(s).

@tameshiyaku Agree with you there. Somehow I don't see there being much silliness and humor in this live action adaption. We'll see.

Okay then. Why is GTA6 "exempt"? Doesn't make sense to me why one game wouldn't be affected. At least w/o more info than is provided here.

If true this is great news. I would also love see the first Blood Omen remastered.

Hope their rights / demands are met. Human beings are more than capable of doing voice work, etc. and there are plenty of us. We don't need AI to do it for us, to replace us. We need AI to help us do what we are already doing.

There is a lot of stuff in the trailers for this game. Very curious to see the impressions of graphics and gameplay.

"93% of its overall sales come from digital games"

Does that account for games with only digital purchase options? Those titles should not be included when we talk about comparing physical to digital sales numbers. Kunitsu-Gami is not the only digital exclusive title from Capcom.

Super excited but not for that much. Even $70 is too much for me.

Looks pretty sweet. Interesting that you can switch characters on the fly. Life sim elements are always cool with me too.

Summoner was one of the games I bought on launch day. It was pretty good for the day. Still don't see it listed in the PS Store though.

Congrats for making some of us Google Poland Prime Minister and be confused as H. Then searching for Lidia Sobieska and we see the deal.

@IntrepidWombat I remember the Easter Egg too. Summoner was one of the games I bought when I got my launch day PS2 at Best Buy. I remember getting stuck pretty deep in the game and had to give up. I don't think it was a bug, just my bad gaming. Will check this version out.

There are people that still buy new games at full price, either physical or digital, but I don't know how any of these game companies can charge $15-$20 month considering the development costs. How many and for how long do subscribers need to pay to make up their investments? How are companies NOT swan diving into their money vaults to make up for the costs?

How about Sid Meier's Pirates!

Not really sure but almost all of them save #1 are playable on PS5 already.

While not the absolute worst, this is sad to hear. Does the average consumer care about PS2 games? There must be some demand from gamers like us, otherwise why would Sony even try at all.

Sweet. I wonder if we'll get Sky remastered someday. Also, NIS America, please print more copies of your physical games for those of us that miss out after like 8 months.

I look forward to hearing more whenever there is something.

We're talking about something so far in the future. A lot can change. What will be the state of gaming, consoles and the world then? Maybe there will be a medium entirely different form what we have now. Although we still don't have flying cars or robot maids yet, so IDK.

That's a great explanation. This sure doesn't seem to affect sales at all either so good.

Looks like it could be in Japan by the uniforms and overall setting. As an anime fan I'm interested.

Congrats, well deserved.

I first played this on the Xbox 360 and loved it. Good reason to play it again on PS5.

Seems like "manufactured outrage" is the order of the day on the internet. Very tiring. Add it to the pile.

It'd be great if they could all just start new studio but I'm sure that's easier said than done. The fact they can't keep their IPs like others have mentioned totally blows for them and us fans. Who knows what happens to them with Microsoft now.
