@LogicStrikesAgain I think the issue is that SIE doesn't want to make two SKUs for the set - one digital, one physical - because if it just had the game on disc, owners of the digital PS5 wouldn't be able to play the game. It's still annoying though, for $250 you really do expect the disc to be included.
Wasn't this supposedly an issue with FF16 for some players? Anyway, I played through that game with no issues on a base disc PS5, and hopefully no issues arise when I finally get to play DS2 on my Pro this Thursday.
This is welcome news. It always bothered me that Ninja Theory only made a Series X version and not a PS5, even though PS4 players helped that game reach one million copies sold.
I've learned more about Pragmata from this article than anything Capcom has shown since it was revealed five years ago. I didn't even know the protagonist's name is Hugh.
I really need someone, maybe a Jason Schreier type or whatever, to do an exposé about how these slop games sometimes even get promoted by PlayStation. I'm thinking of Life of Black Tiger, Flowers are Dead, and of course, Abandoned.
Over ten years ago, Insomniac decided to go it alone, partnered with EA to make....Fuse....then partnered with Microsoft to make Sunset Overdrive, and then finally came back and was acquired by Sony.
I finally got around to finishing season 1, and it left a lot to be desired for me personally. The overall story is the same, but so many sequences were truncated or cut out completely. The frantic run through Bill's town/Lincoln, Joel and Ellie's battle with David's men in the UEC science lab, and the amazing tunnel sequence in Salt Lake City to name a few. I haven't watched season 2 yet, but if it's anything like season 1, I'll probably be disappointed.
@Faraz27 I realize it's not a 1:1 recreation, I've played every modern GTA game. I was just noting how the rest of the trailer looks very much like Florida except for that one area. As I said at the end of my comment, the game looks incredible.
I have to say that nowhere in the real Florida will you find anything resembling Mount Kalaga, as the state is extremely flat. But everything else looks on point and the game looks absolutely incredible.
I wouldn't mind if they sold the campaign separately for $30 or so, as that's all I've ever been interested in, and there's no way I'm paying $70-80+ for one game mode that typically lasts about 6 or so hours.
I find it hard to be upset about this because both games have been discounted at various points since release, so if you wanted either one you could've got them for less. But Nintendo is still selling Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey - 2017 Switch launch games - for 59.99 in the US, and no one ever seems bat an eye.
@JuiceboxMeister Yeah it's unfortunate that we never got see it. When you think about it, Deep Down and Pragmata have a lot of similarities - both were announced around the time of the PS4/PS5 announcements and, in the case of Deep Down, never materialized. Hopefully Pragmata resurfaces though.
I've been looking forward to this for awhile. I like police sims but prefer something more gamey and story oriented, so I'll definitely picking this up. Glad it finally has a release date.

Re: Death Stranding 2 (PS5) - A Masterpiece in Every Sense
How's the photo mode? I've seen no mention of it in any reviews even though it made waves at that show last year.
Re: Delta Force Is Finally Set for Free-to-Play Return on PS5 This August
Has the campaign been properly balanced yet?
Re: 'This Isn't What I Expected': MindsEye Actor Weighs in on PS5 Flop's Shoddy Launch
@wildcat_kickz I actually liked Mafia III though many did not. Being able to take out kkk members was extremely satisfying.
Re: Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice PS5 Upgrades Are Finally Getting Parole from Xbox Jail
This is welcome news. It always bothered me that Ninja Theory only made a Series X version and not a PS5, even though PS4 players helped that game reach one million copies sold.
Re: Sony Hasn't Given Up on Adding More PS3 Games to PS Plus Yet
Don't settle for streaming. Implicit Conversions is ready to go - put them to work, PlayStation.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 2.3 Delayed Beyond This Week, Confirms 'Similar Scope' to 2.2
Third person mode or at least conversations would be great, won't happen though of course.
Re: There's a Lot of Hype for PS5 Horror Cronos: The New Dawn
Such a shame we're not getting a Dead Space 2 remake.
Re: Resident Evil Requiem Playable in 1st and 3rd Person, New Screenshots
Thank the Lord it is not strictly 1st person. Hopefully Grace is more of a character than no-face Ethan Winters.
Re: Rumour: Data Miner Claims to Have Found Evidence of Halo on PS Store
Forza Horizon, Gears of War, and possibly Halo on PS5 before Starfield is wild.
Re: Yep, PlayStation's PC Games Will Be Playable on Xbox's New Handheld System
It's basically an Xbox branded ROG Ally, and PlayStation's PC games already run on those.
Re: 'Good Luck with That' - The Outer Worlds 2 $80 Price Has Gone Down Horribly with PS5 Players
Has Sony raised the price of the first party games to $80? I thought that was just Nintendo.
Re: Black Ops 7 Will Be the 'Most Mind-Bending' Call of Duty Ever on PS5, PS4
I really don't want to hear "mind -bending", because it immediately reminds me of Black Ops III, and that's not a good thing.
Re: Xbox Teases More Forza for 2026, and the 'Return of a Classic'
Odd that there was no Starfield PS5 announcement, what with all of the reports of it's release this year.
Re: The Outer Worlds 2 Is an $80 Game on PS5, as Xbox Continues to Push Game Pass
@crackeastwood And on top of that, it was actually Take 2 who made the first move by saying NBA 2K21 would be $70
Re: Third Plague Tale Game Leaks Ahead of Xbox Show, Out for PS5 in 2026
I really liked Innocence, but not did not like how Amicia's accent changed from French to English in Requiem.
Re: End of Abyss May Fool You into Thinking It's the Next PS5 Game from Playdead
I too thought this was Playdead's next game. Actually, I was hoping it was a sequel to Inside.
Re: First MindsEye PS5 Copies Leak, Dev Stresses to Wait for Day 1 Patch
Was that twitter user comparing MindsEye to ME Andromeda gameplay wise, or performance wise?
Re: PS Plus Premium Games for June and July 2025 Confirmed, Resident Evil 2, 3 This Summer
Finally, the definitive version of RE3 will be playable on PS5.
Re: What Time Is PlayStation's State of Play for June 2025?
Maybe Deep Down will get a surprise re-announcement.
Re: Rumour: New Cyberpunk 2077 DLC Is Incoming, Developer Leak Suggests
A third person mode would be nice, or at least third person conversations
Re: Borderlands 4 Boss Writes Grovelling Apology for Implying 'Real Fans' Will Pay $80 for PS5 Game
I'm still waiting for an apology for the Aliens: Colonial Marines disaster.
Re: EA's Black Panther Game Cancelled, Studio Shut Down
Is this the game with Captain America that was shown off a year or two ago?
Re: Poll: Do You Care About the Death of PlayStation Stars?
It was a nice incentive/excuse to buy games digitally, so I'm disappointed to see it go.
Re: Neil Druckmann Confirms Involvement in Second Unannounced Naughty Dog Project
It's got to be Uncharted or TLoU related. I highly doubt Naughty Dog would have two new IP in development at the same time.
Re: Point-and-Click Classic Syberia Gets a PS5 Remaster, Out This Year
So excited for this, hopefully Part 2 follows close behind.
Re: Helldivers 2 Dev Breaks Away from PlayStation, Next Game Will Be Self-Funded

Re: Just Like the Game, The Last of Us 2's TV Adaptation Is Getting Review Bombed
I finally got around to finishing season 1, and it left a lot to be desired for me personally. The overall story is the same, but so many sequences were truncated or cut out completely.

Re: GTA 6's PS5 Open World Looks Like Rockstar's Best Ever
@DennisReynolds Careful, some of these commenters seem to get bent out of shape if you make comparisons to Florida.
Re: GTA 6's PS5 Open World Looks Like Rockstar's Best Ever
@Faraz27 I realize it's not a 1:1 recreation, I've played every modern GTA game. I was just noting how the rest of the trailer looks very much like Florida except for that one area. As I said at the end of my comment, the game looks incredible.

I have to say that nowhere in the real Florida will you find anything resembling Mount Kalaga, as the state is extremely flat. But everything else looks on point and the game looks absolutely incredible.
Re: Concern Call of Duty Could Be About to Paywall Gameplay Modes
I wouldn't mind if they sold the campaign separately for $30 or so, as that's all I've ever been interested in, and there's no way I'm paying $70-80+ for one game mode that typically lasts about 6 or so hours.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for May 2025?
Isn't Balatro a card game? I don't like card games.
Re: Rumour: Oblivion PS5 Remake Releasing Next Month Appears More and More Likely
I meant that Bethesda/Activision games would've been on PlayStation as usual had Microsoft not purchased them.
Re: Microsoft Makes PS5 Pro the Best Place to Play Indiana Jones
More like Bethesda, who is already used to developing on PlayStation, makes PS5 Pro the best place to play Indiana Jones.
Re: The Last of Us Complete Out Today at $99.99 on PS5, Physical Collector's Edition Drops in July
I find it hard to be upset about this because both games have been discounted at various points since release, so if you wanted either one you could've got them for less. But Nintendo is still selling Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey - 2017 Switch launch games - for 59.99 in the US, and no one ever seems bat an eye.
Re: You'll Be Able to Transfer Your Cyberpunk 2077 Progress from PS5 to Switch 2
I already played through large portions of it on my Portal, thank you very much.
Re: Oblivion PS5 Remake Rumours Are Relentless, Claims of April Shadow Drop
@JuiceboxMeister Yeah it's unfortunate that we never got see it. When you think about it, Deep Down and Pragmata have a lot of similarities - both were announced around the time of the PS4/PS5 announcements and, in the case of Deep Down, never materialized. Hopefully Pragmata resurfaces though.
Re: Age Ratings Suggest Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and 3 Remasters Heading for PS5
It's about time, honestly. It never made sense for Activision to remaster MW 1&2 but not 3.
Re: Oblivion PS5 Remake Rumours Are Relentless, Claims of April Shadow Drop
Next Jeff Grubb will be saying Pragmata and Deep Down are releasing next month as timed PS5 exclusives
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Is Teasing Something, But No One Knows What
@Oram77 Exactly my point 😂
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Is Teasing Something, But No One Knows What
It's probably a board game that they're teasing.
Re: The Weapon Durability Debate Is Back with PS5 Action RPG Blades of Fire
The weapon durability system was one of the many reasons I stopped playing Breath of the Wild.
Re: PS5 vs Switch 2: Full Tech Specs Comparison
You guys should do a game price comparison next.
Re: PS5 Exclusive Ghost of Yotei Still on Track for 2025 Release
I'm thinking July, just like Tsushima five years ago.
Re: Preview: Being the Good Guy Is Fun for Once in Classic GTA Police Sim The Precinct on PS5

Re: Killzone Remasters Would Be Cool, Says Series Composer, and We Completely Agree
I think a reimagining of Killzone would be great - there is so much lore that Guerrilla created that was just left out of the games.
