@Loftimus Probably because it'll be unsupported in 2 years.

@phil_j I felt it was a good game and certainly not the worst FF.

The story was a bit off (apparently fixed to an extent once id already finished and plat'd it) but there was a really good game underneath. Id say stick with it.

Really doesn't sit right with me with the voices in English.

Assuming we'll get the choice of Japanese voice acting as normal?

Knowing its coming to Gamepass at some point in the distant future is an odd one to bother about. You can almost say the similar things about any title.

"Ohh it'll be 20 quid in a years time at black Friday sales, ill better not buy it day 1"

You either want it or you dont.

If you can afford it and really want it, buy it day 1. If not then hold off till sales. Odd to be put off by a game going free in a years time. Clearly must not be that bothered about it in the first place.

Id understand if it were a simultaneous release but its far from it.

Assumed this game was dead. The last time I went on it took quite a while to get a game and even then im sure it wasn't full.

@ShogunRok "It's always been fair to assume that Remake's sequel till expand and evolve"

U wot m8?

RIP PES

Surprised FIFA hasn't went down this route yet tbf

I bought it on sale a good while back although I've still to play it. 60fps mode and I'll absolutely get involved with that.

Phil should spend more time brushing his teeth and attempting to get decent first party titles out before taking aim at others tbf.

@Flaming_Kaiser Yep, you just know most of the sites including this one sympathise with the whole.."were barely making profit, we have to do this" nonsense yet the financials tell that's complete and utter nonsense.

@MFTWrecks Whats the point when gullible fools are happy to part with their money?

@KundaliniRising333 What reviews talk about bugs and crashes?

Cant seem to find anything on this other than a Gfinity review which I trust as much as I can throw it.

Jesus, a lot of upset people about what's a great score. If its not genre defining then its a fair score for a game that does everything solidly.

@Weebleman i'd agree with that, too many people have these ideas that if a game isn't a 10 or a 9 at a push then its not worth playing or someone is being unfair. @get2sammyb

Just go for a simply review score, something like:

Essential
Recommended
Decent
Poor
Rise of the Robots levels of turd

You'd think half of the folk on here are getting a bonus from Insomniac based on the review score.

Performance RT all the way.

60fps and most of the bells and whistles.. no brainer for me.

Its not a good idea to let a Li-Ion battery almost dissipate before charging. The instruction to charge "early" will be to preserve long term battery health.

Also by the same token its not a good idea to leave a battery fully charged and unused for long periods.

Keeping a battery between 20% and 80% is roughly the best place to keep a battery for long term health

@Blacksmith1985 @get2sammyb - Personally, i'd edit the article before people start thinking they can ignore the advice and play till the charge runs out and long term, it shortens their battery life/capacity.

Its well documented by device manufactures guidance to not allow devices to completely dissipate to preserve long term battery life and charge capacity.

Feel sorry for the devs on this one, they've took a whole load of stick for issues only the higher up's themselves brought about.

The clips were no doubt made early on in development and nothing to suggest its from code near, or as it went "gold"

The leak however suggests that its came from someone disgruntled. Management are the only ones to blame here and you can see with the amount of staff leaving that the company is in a bad way.

@Loftimus Cheers pal. Couldn't seem to find that info.

Have they said how much the upgrade from the PS4 disc version to ps5 is yet?

@ralphdibny Its a good remake - mostly online orientated (ive had 1 laggy fight out of 4 so far) with an arcade mode for offline play however the Quest mode from the original Virtua Fighter 5 is absent which is a shame.

Plays exactly as you would expect and as far as I can tell the movesets, balancing etc is exactly the same as 5 Final Showdown.

Brilliant PS plus game which will get tonnes of hours from me and I ended up buying the DLC (think its about 7.99? It's basically some of the items from the Quest mode from VF 5 as far as I can tell) to hopefully push Sega in to making a VF6

@JohnnyShoulder Also worth noting that PS Now is the same price also.

Plus stacked to 2025 and Now stacked to 2023

From the PS5 footage its clear they're using SSR and not Ray Tracing which, for a cross gen title is a little disappointing to be honest.

Something seemed off with the visuals, like a plastic toy look to everything from the foliage to Aloys face and the weird glow around her head when in 3rd person.

Its early code and while the game looks very dense, something seems odd with the visuals for me even with it looking good otherwise.

I'll absolutely be getting it regardless as im sure it'll still be good regardless.

I dont care about titles going multi platform but seeing Sony wanting to push GAAS makes me feel uncomfortable.

I'm more than happy with VF 5.

Pretty much worth the PS plus sub for me if it's true to the original release.

I'll be getting involved with that!

VF 5 is a great addition as I would have likely paid full price for it.

@Ben7982 Its because COD (im assuming you mean that) isnt optimised for PS5 so the devs HAVE to duplicate textures all over the place to allow texture streaming to appear as smooth as it can be with the lowest common denominator in mind (spindle HDDS).

No doubt cost near 20 quid.

Pass.

Companies love patents.. doesn't mean they'll be used.

Especially given the current investigations by governments in to loot boxes.

Bet365 have took bets for LoL, overwatch, dota2 and csgo along with other matches for a while now.

Hopefully this move crashes and burns.

tbf, generally I hope Ubi crashes and burns so my stance hasnt really changed there.

I'll no doubt be a day 1 buyer.. Just hope that they do their best to tackle motion sickness as I was pretty bad with it on occasion.

Thats an absolute nonsense why it isnt on the disc for 2 reasons..
1 So you cant resell it
2 When Sony pull the servers (they will eventually before anyone try's to kid themselves) that'll be that content gone forever

Yet again game preservation takes a hit to save potential sales.

This digital only future is bleak.

As someone who's always enjoyed being able to buy a Yakuza game complete on day 1 this is really crap news.

70 quid for a game then another 10/15 to complete the story means I'll be a hell of a lot more selective going forward.

As I said earlier today..
Yakuza turn based
Judgement beat em up.

Same cities but completely different playstyles.

IN!

I like the way RGG is going to keep things fresh.

Yakuza - turn based - Judgement - beat em up.

Both wacky, brutal, interesting and very much have that Sega DNA of old but above all else.. Fun. So many games these days go for the gritty gameplay, story and completely lose any semblance of fun, the whole reason video games took off.

They always seem to manage to keep them fresh even though its just technically a lick of paint here and there with a new story.

Good. It's about time those with the wool pulled over their eyes thinking PSN etc will be competitively priced like on the PC space with steam and the various storefronts that fight it out

No coil whine but usually on startup you get a buzzing sound as something is vibrating about.

Hand on the console stops it.. I'm suspecting it's the stand not being a snug enough fit.

How is the online anyway busy enough? Don't think I've ever seen a single friend play it... I assumed it was dead.

@StartWars that's excellent news.. I was close to the plat and can't be bothered going through most of it again to finish it off.

Downloaded it but noticed I can't transfer my PS4 save.

Tad annoying that.

I expect it to somehow be heavily locked down given there's grot discord channels etc.

Stop releasing call of duty games on a yearly basis.

Better yet. People need to stop buying games from Activision.

Mark Zuckerberg is a bug eyed freak that just wants to sell adverts and your personal data. He can get tae.

Excellent.. I'll be all over that.

Maybe that's the new way forward for the studio.

Yakuza - turn based RPG
Judgement - beat em up RPG

I can deal with that.

@tinCAT-zero mm-hmm...that's why I said "personally"

I'm not sure what you are having difficulty in understanding. I thought that was crystal clear?

@AdamNovice once PS Now moves to Azure I think that barrier will be largely knocked down barring a few special cases.

@BoldAndBrash I think you are over reacting a bit and blowing my comment totally out of proportion for bait.

I'm not asking for more games I'm personally already a Plus and Now subscriber. Just merge them and be done with it.

PlayStation is the eco system here. I don't want a movie streaming service and I doubt I'm in the minority saying so, there's already more than enough services for that before adding yet more fragmentation to the movie streaming market.

If you aren't going to add anything constructive you might want to get your shine box back out and be useful.

Do you genuinely think it's gonna add much value for gamers as a counter to game pass?

Personally IRacing would be a much better fit for the Motorsport category but atleast it's not Forza.

I'll be honest personally I'd rather have gaming benefits over a handful of movies.

How about incorporating ps now with plus?

Gonna wait for reviews from a few places before I make the plunge (money in my playstation account ready to go) but I'm pleased to see the hands on seems to be going good.

@Korgon get more or less most of the Yakuza games.

They often come with virtua fighter in the arcades in the city.

For example.. with "Yakuza like a dragon" you have fully functioning arcade version of virtua fighter 2 and 5 along with super hang on, space harrier, fantasy zone and out run.

The Yakuza games are the dogs danglies!
