I recently traded my PS4 in for a PS5 when there was a special deal directly from Sony. I got a new PS5 Slim with drive and Spidey 2 code for $300. If not for this deal I would have probably kept waiting, but I am glad I did it.
If people want to stay on PS4 longer big woop. I wonder what the news reports and comments would be if Sony and publishers made more of the current PS4/PS5 games PS5 only. Probably not too happy.
I know it's a pipe dream, but I would like to see any of the good but expensive PS2 games available. Shadow Hearts, Haunting Ground, Steambot Chronicles, Wild Arms Alter Code F, etc.
@get2sammyb @trev666 I bought a bunch of the PS2 games that they made for PS4. So the emulation is really bad and they probably will stay that way? Are they any better on PS5?
Should be interesting with all the changes to the NCAA and college football. It's been almost 10 years since the last one. Hopefully it's a good game for people that want to play it. But then again it's EA and I assume they have exclusive rights like they have with Madden?
@Atreus97 Right, most of us are not investors and don't care. We're not in an era where a games company like Sony can go belly up and you're stuck with a console and no new games.
An Assassin's Creed in historical Japan is cool. Surprised there are two playable characters though. I wonder if you will be forced to play as both or can you choose? I will probably prefer to be the Shinobi most of the time.
Sorry I can't help but be cynical anytime someone uses the "I'm a huge fan" phrases when trying to instill confidence. Doesn't mean it will be good or bad, but who knows if they are truthful.
No predictions, but I am looking forward to learning more about what's coming. In the meantime there are plenty of other games to discover and wait for.
Please no, especially for the mainline games. The games need time to cook and that has worked thus far. When a Persona 6 teaser drops fans will be hyped.
AI could be used to help developers, reduce the likelihood of crunch or being over worked. But obviously it wouldn't end there with who is in charge at these big companies.
I get it if you want to see another game in a first party franchise, like Sly Cooper or something, but first vs third party, good games are good games.
Love the anime and will be watching this game's release closely. Would love to spend more time in the world via a console game. I like that it's not another fighting game too. The town building and other game play aspects sound intriguing. With the release this close I assume there will be no English dub but that's okay.
I don't mind paying for DLC that's worth it to me, and sometimes a Season Pass can be more affordable than buying each DLC by itself. But we are talking about a full price pre-order right now and this news sucks. I'm usually very late and the game's been out for a while.
Single player games are where it's at for me so I like this article. There's always a risk of failure with any game, especially if they have a huge budget. I assume making a Live Service game is even more risky. For every successful Live Service game, how many fail miserably?
That seems pretty high indeed. I've bought season passes before but they were always after the game was released. I compared the price to buying the DLC separately and in my case the content was cheaper already due to the age of the games. I know that is not the norm for everyone.
Good for them. It can't be easy to win gamers back. After issues at launch, so many gamers move on and never look back. Revisiting games after they're patched can turn out good.
Baldo The Guardian Owls is another, albeit smaller, example. They patched the game considerably and released new content for free. Now it's great.
@Melee_Ace I think there is merit in your feelings here. I personally would like a basic Mega Man Legends remaster / port collection. The PS1 / N4 games are pricey and could use a boost in look.
I wish we could fix it by telling rich companies/people not to be greedy. But they won't stop. Hopefully there are some big changes coming that shake up the industry as a whole.
Not going to read all the comments, there are 126. I agree this information should have been included or more obvious to people previewing the game. The fact micro transactions exist in DD2 is not that big a deal to me personally, I just ignore them. But I do understand the issues with them.

Re: Infinity Knights: Xross Is a Co-Op Action RPG Inspired By 90s Classics, Coming to PS5
Looks very cool, nice pixel art. Will wait and see.
Re: Ubisoft Pirate Game Skull and Bones Gets Trial Version, Price Cut as Player Count Reportedly Plummets
Yeah, pass. Would rather try out Sea of Thieves or play AC Black Flag.
Re: Rise of the Ronin Update Coming This Week, Adds Missions and Features
Most people I respect online enjoy the game. Getting it at some point.
Re: Interview: Capcom on Why Monster Hunter Stories Is Finally Coming to PS4
I wish we could get both games physical on PS4 in the US.
Re: Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered Earns Physical Edition, Out in September
The standard will probably be fine for me although I wish it had an instruction manual. I miss those things.

Re: Microsoft Leadership Reportedly Want No 'Red Line' Stopping Xbox Games Coming to PS5
Fable for me. Ports of the first 3 would be nice and the new one, whenever the H that is coming.

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Dated for 15th November in First Trailer
@Korgon Good to hear you can mostly play as the character of your choosing. Thanks.

Re: UK Sales Charts: Indie Hit Sea of Stars Breaks into a Top 10 Full of Juggernauts
Eager for my copy of Sea of Stars to arrive, which should be pretty soon. Meanwhile, are we still waiting for Chained Echoes from First Press Games?
Re: Sony Committed to Better First-Party Games, 'Richer' Experiences, More PS5 Users
No predictions, but I am looking forward to learning more about what's coming. In the meantime there are plenty of other games to discover and wait for.
Re: Vague Sly Cooper PS5 Game Rumours Debunked
I know it's not easy, but maybe we should just stop paying attention to rumors. All they seem to do is get our hopes up before they are dashed.
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows the Actual Name of AC Red, Reveal This Week
Looking forward to getting more details.
Re: Rumour: SEGA Wants Persona to Be an Annual Franchise Alongside Like a Dragon, Sonic
Please no, especially for the mainline games. The games need time to cook and that has worked thus far. When a Persona 6 teaser drops fans will be hyped.
Re: Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE Gets an Updated 'Plus' Version on PS5 in October
Good to hear the game is coming to more systems.

Re: Rumour: Ubisoft Is Going All-In on Assassin's Creed with Black Flag Remake, Another Remake, Co-op Multiplayer Games, and More
I'm most interested in AC Red. Black Flag remake makes sense. Otherwise I think they could be overdoing AC.
Re: PS5 Fans Mostly Happy with Sony's Third-Party Deals, But PlayStation Studios Need to Step Up
I get it if you want to see another game in a first party franchise, like Sly Cooper or something, but first vs third party, good games are good games.
Re: Announced as a Switch Exclusive, Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE Is Coming to PS5 After All
What? You just never know about these exclusives, do you? We still have no Dragon Quest Treasures or Rune Factory 5 on PS5.
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Sales Remain Muted in the USA, Compared to Past Games
@Yorozayu 100% agree. Feels like there is a target on Square Enix for some reason. Give it a rest.
Re: Funko Fusion Is Either Your Dream or Nightmare, Out This September
Firmly in the "can't stand the sight of them" camp. No sale for me.
Re: Sea of Thieves (PS5) - Xbox's Multiplayer Pirating Is Swashbuckling Fun with Friends
@Zanao Sounds great. Too bad they don't have options for CPU players in your crew. Fully multi-player games just aren't my jam.
Re: Metaphor: ReFantazio Says No to Romance, Unlike the Persona Games
That's too bad but I'm sure the game will still be very good.
Re: That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Is Coming to PS5, PS4 as an Action RPG
Love the anime and will be watching this game's release closely. Would love to spend more time in the world via a console game. I like that it's not another fighting game too. The town building and other game play aspects sound intriguing. With the release this close I assume there will be no English dub but that's okay.

Re: Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes (PS5) - Stars Align for Classic JRPG Adventure
I've never played a game in the Suikoden series so I hope there is a demo available. The game sure looks gorgeous.
Re: Sony Collaborating on SEGA's Golden Axe Animated Series
Really? I don't watch Comedy Central animation but this doesn't sound good to me.
Re: It Looks Like Kena: Bridge of Spirits Is Heading to New Platforms
Never played Kena but heard great things about it. Always loved the art style. Hopefully it also comes to Switch.
Re: Vampiric RPG V Rising Gets Gothic PS5 Gameplay Trailer
@Loamy Agreed. This reminds me of Blood Omen on PS1. Great game I spent a lot of time with.
Re: Sony Reportedly in Talks to Team Up for Paramount Bid
This is really strange news to me. I guess I thought Paramount Plus was popular?
Re: SunnySide Is a PS5 Life Sim Worth Keeping an Eye On, Out in July
I wish they'd gone with a more anime look but I'm on board with the setting for sure.
Re: Stellar Blade Director Emphasises Importance of 'Single-Player Games with an Ending'
Single player games are where it's at for me so I like this article. There's always a risk of failure with any game, especially if they have a huge budget. I assume making a Live Service game is even more risky. For every successful Live Service game, how many fail miserably?
Re: $130 Version of Star Wars Outlaws Under Fire as Ubisoft Prices Increase
That seems pretty high indeed. I've bought season passes before but they were always after the game was released. I compared the price to buying the DLC separately and in my case the content was cheaper already due to the age of the games. I know that is not the norm for everyone.
Re: Players of PS5, PS4 Racer Disney Speedstorm Are Seething with Road Rage
Sounds confusing but bad. Yikes.
Re: $70 Games Are Just a Phase, Believes Saber Interactive CEO
@StrickenBiged Agree with you.
Re: Games Industry Mass Layoffs an 'Avoidable F*ck Up', Says Larian Studios Publishing Director
Sounds like more industry consolidation is the wrong direction? Too bad it's too late for many companies.
Re: Random: Seven Years Later, No Man's Sky's Reputation Is Slowly Improving
Good for them. It can't be easy to win gamers back. After issues at launch, so many gamers move on and never look back. Revisiting games after they're patched can turn out good.

Re: Ubisoft Forward Is the Next Summer Gaming Event to Mark on Your Calendar
Hands down most excited to learn more about AC Red.
Re: Run a Cosy Convenience Store in Slice of Life Sim InKonbini, Coming to PS5
We'll see. Hopefully the game's a little more lively than the trailer. Slice of life doesn't mean boring, it's just chill.
Re: Grandia HD Collection (PS4) - Barebones Collection Bundles Worthy RPGs
@Melee_Ace I think there is merit in your feelings here. I personally would like a basic Mega Man Legends remaster / port collection. The PS1 / N4 games are pricey and could use a boost in look.

Re: Here's More Proof We Need a Honkai: Star Rail Anime
Didn't they announce a Genshin Impact anime in 2023? I hope it's still coming. Maybe they'll make a Honkai anime too.
Re: Pocketpair in Talks to Bring Palworld to Other Platforms, Potentially Including PS5 and PS4
I might try it if there is a demo, but it's really not my kind of game. Hopefully it comes to PlayStation though.
Re: Fishing RPG Moonglow Bay Docks on PS5, PS4 Next Month
@jolteon23 Same here. From a distance it looks sweet but zoomed in not so much IMO.
