IDK about AI art in video games. But we've all seen AI art of our favorite characters from anime, cartoons and like. It might resemble Naruto but I think a Naruto drawn by a human hand usually looks closer to me.
I stream movies, TV and anime and buy the Blu-Ray of those I love. Games could be similar but there are some differences to how they are sold / distributed: ie. digital only at first before physical.
@Drago201 @Rob_230 Yeah this marketing is weird but happens often. I don't think Persona is really a casual gamer's cup of tea. They might be the market that wouldn't realize the series is multi-platform. The rest of us already know.
Awards aren't for fans, they're for creator recognition. IDK how much creators care but fans should not care at all. What's the diff if your favorite games win or not? I certainly don't care.
Seems like an over reaction, doesn't it? He didn't say the game was bad, just that the campaign was short. Not sure why COD even has single player anymore.
I didn't watch it. I watch the trailers on Youtube and be done with it. But I do agree that award winners deserve an appropriate amount of time to speak their minds during their time on stage. There has to be a balance somewhere.
Thankfully sounds like most people are reading the article and not just the headline. Bungie leadership suck at their jobs, leading them to be afraid of a Sony take over.
Crazy stuff for sure. IDK about Embracer selling vs shutting down studios, but the later sure makes no sense to the average person, especially considering many of these studios have pedigree.
Glad to see more coming westward (Ho!). Just wish that certain physical versions of their games were more readily available. Trails of Azure / Zero for example.
The previous slim models probably had zero technical improvements either. They were just made smaller to replace previous models. This PS5 should not be looked at as an upgrade.
Your poll could have just been "Do you own a PS5?" Yes or No. I still need one so next month might be the time.
Gaming "experts" are saying Sony should buy someone. okay then. Wonder who they are, if they know much at all. If Michael Pachter is among them you can flip a coin on his predictions and be just as accurate.
I prefer physical, especially for movies and anime that I love. I want to have the highest quality versions rather than compressed for streaming. I do prefer physical games as well. I think a lot of people are buying media online instead of walking into a Walmart, Target or Best Buy.
For those that prefer physical this sucks, pushes the trend that way. Although most people probably buy online anyway. For movies and shows, I'll stream it and if I really like it I buy the Blu-Ray sets if they are released.
Really looking forward to this one. Been meaning to get into the anime and will eventually, the games not so much due to their nature. But this game I will try for sure. Thanks for the review.

Re: FMV Mess Plumbers Don't Wear Ties Fixes PS5 , PS4's Piping in March
I would just like to watch the included documentary / making of video. That is it. Hopefully that will be out w/o the game.
Re: Sony Hit with French Fine for Allegedly Manipulating PS4 Controller Market
Strange news IMO. From a consumer perspective I would never want to use third party unless they were licensed. And bootleg controllers usually suck.
Re: One of PS5's Most Promising Action RPGs Is Getting a Playable Demo in January
Absolutely looking forward to trying the demo for this great looking game.

Good grief. I wonder how long it took them to decide on that phrasing.

Why not sell it in stores and Amazon right away? Why make it direct?

@Oz_Momotaro Too bad they aren't selling this in stores or online places like Amazon.

A deluxe edition for only $10 more than standard game prices? Good deal!

Re: PS5 'Slim' Is Now Officially for Sale in the US
Happy to hear it's finally out. Not much fanfare. Very tempted to get a PS5 on the way home from work since I don't have one.
Let's hope this isn't scalped.
Re: It's Clear to See Why Sony Isn't Calling the New PS5 Model 'Slim'
In the end we shouldn't be surprised. Take a look at the differences between the models of the PS4 and PS3. Are they that much smaller?
Re: Of Course Baldur's Gate 3 Will Be Heavily Censored in Japan
Is showing people's junk uncensored really an M rating for BG3? Sounds like XXX to me.
Re: New Sony PS5 Advert Designed to Set Pulses Racing
Still no news on an actual release date for the new models?
Re: Trails of Cold Steel 3 and 4 Double Pack Coming to PS5 in Early 2024
Too bad there is no part 1-2 release. Either buy it for $$ second hand or get them digital on PS4.
Re: The Next Shenmue Could Potentially Be a Prequel Story
@CieloAzure That's a shame. I heard it was very well received by anime fans.
Re: The First Photos of the PS5 Slim Are Circulating Online
"you’re going to start seeing it in stores very soon."
Why can't Sony give us a release date already? I figured we'd have a date by now if it's in November. I don't have a PS5 yet so this is for me.
Re: You'll Need an Internet Connection to Pair PS5 Slim's Optional Blu-ray Drive
That's weird if you buy the psychical version of the new PS5 console.

Very much interested in seeing a AC game set in historical Japan. Long overdue IMO.
Re: Veteran PlayStation Exec Has Allegedly Left Sony
"Booth has been with PlayStation since the beginning" if true that is almost 30 years. Maybe she's just retiring. A lot can change in 30 years.
Re: Is It Surprising that PlayStation Fans Don't Really Care About the PS5 Slim?
The previous slim models probably had zero technical improvements either. They were just made smaller to replace previous models. This PS5 should not be looked at as an upgrade.

Re: Rumour: Assassin's Creed Red Could Go Head to Head with Rise of the Ronin on PS5 in 2024
I too am interested in both games. Playing as an assassin in a historical Japan sounds awesome!

An important feature in the previous console not in the new one until now. What is it with UI and these game companies?
Re: US Retail Giant Best Buy Allegedly Binning Physical Media
