@SuntannedDuck2 I think you would like Captain Tsubasa, it is more arcade than IE. Still has the flashy moves, great art style and a OTT story.

Also it is super cheap now!

@MightyDemon82 Yes, I hate football irl, but this is so much fun, it does have a lil learning curve, especially to get the flashy moves, but I think you will enjoy it!

@Meowmixes98 Same, I love it, I am bias as a huge Inazuma Eleven fan! But man it's so so great, after Expedition 33 this is my personal GOTY (I haven't played DS2 nor GOY as of yet).

I am a sucker for flashy anime games, so I am in, Day one, just like Demon Slayer HC2!

Looking forward to it!

Haven't played GOY or DS2, Expedition 33 is incredible, fingers crossed for them!

Where is this located in London?

DW is my guilty pleasure, DW8XL, DW: Origins are peak DW experiences, I am happy to see a traditional one using the scale and graphics of DW Origins. I'll be buying most likely day one!

The fact that I haven't purchased a new book in over 10 years, maybe I could splash out? It looks nice, but £95 is just ALOT

LOVE THIS ANNOUNCEMENT! Traditional DW experience in the Origins engine 🤩

@cburg Exclusives is how Sony sells consoles though? Marvel IP or not. I would not be surprised in the next decade or so Sony will become more multiplatform like Microsoft, but we are not at that point yet.

Insomanic is a 1st party developer, so that means it will be a PS exclusive 🤷‍♂️. Then probably comes to PC in a couple of years time.

@Propaperpusher Your loss, I gave up on Returnal for a year because I didn't like the roguelike aspects, but when you get into it, it is amazing. But each to their own, you can't please everybody.

I assume the PS5 Kiwami 2 port will be 60fps? It better be! I've been playing on my Steam Deck at around 40fps, would love this to maintain a full 60.

Also I wanted the anniversary one because I am a Yakuza fanboy 😭, probably gonna be expensive

This is the best one of the year so far.

SAROS - Super excited, loved Returnal, looks like a great continuation

DW3 Remastered - I wanted a traditional DW Experience in the new graphics engine, looks like that is gonna rock, probably should of been DW4 though!

Wolverine - OMG that looks amazing, Insomanic Games does not miss!

Ni-oh 3 - Looks great, love the over the top dub because why not.

EDIT: Crimson Desert looks pretty dope to

Solid 7 from me!

@Scottyy If it ain't broke don't fix it, Saros looks like a great continuation of the Returnal formula in a new world, hopefully crossing over with the first one, would love a Selene return!

@ThroughTheIris56 I think we are closer than ever before, due to the Astro Bot Level and re-inclusion to MGS Delta, fingers crossed 🤞🤞🤞

I wish they would add an English dub.

They did it for My Hero's One Justice after launch, why not this?

Either way, I feel like the next OP needs a dub (please 🙏)

I love Everybody's Golf, so I getting it day one and I managed to get it for 20% less than the launch price (thanks 20% off eBay code!).

Sad to see it is not higher, but EG has always been a hit or miss with around 6,7 or 8's usually!

I wish this had a Pro Upgrade, the game is so beautiful, but only 1080p for 60fps, let's get a 4K 60fps please CyGames!

SO HAPPY for Level 5, glad to hear this is doing well, I hope Inazuma Eleven does well in August, keep it coming 👌

My favourite Suda51 game, very underrated, love the style and combat of this game. The Gigolo missions were a bit weird, but nothing that takes away from the game.

Would LOVE a sequel!

Picked this up yesterday and I LOVE IT. DW was always a guilty pleasure for me, I love the scale of the battles, the story and it looks so GOOD on PS5 Pro. I wish they had more playable characters, but I can't wait to get stuck into it more!

@Splat I was literally about to say this - I am picking it up soon after release to support it - it looks amazing!

My favorite FF game, I'll see my boy Blank in HD soon 🥲🙏

@ShogunRok

That has changed It from "day one purchase" to "wait for sale". Maybe they will add these characters as playable in the future!

@ShogunRok

Thanks for the reply! So you can only play as 10 charaters!? No playable Lu Bu etc.? If so, that is pretty disappointing, I love the variety of characters movesets and special moves. I hear there were like 44 characters, but they must be NPC's?

Hey @shogunrok

Great review, sorry if I missed this (I am skim reading before a meeting!).

How many playable characters are there? Can you do free play with them? Is there any other modes? I know in the demo you could control them briefly.

Thank you in advance!

@DarkTron @riceNpea @Yousef-

The demo only has Japanese Voice Acting - I doubt there will be a dub

If a physical copy comes, I will buy for the PS5 exclusive collections, this looks fun, a bit bland and already done, but no one will know until it releases.

@Pepsiman_100 They had a lot of "Tanjiro (Entertainment District) or Tanjiro (High School).

But they did at least provide the Demons for free and then some decent characters as DLC.

But I'll wait for 2, I loved the story mode though!

@get2sammyb

I had a couple of game testing opportunities in The London Studio also, very sad day indeed for the employees

Just gimme Hi-Fi Rush physical copy either on PS5/Switch and I can be happy

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I SMELL BULLSH*T

Another option:

"To see console fanboys cry"

I played and completed this the OG way, so I am kinda proud of myself 😂, but in all seriousness I enjoyed it even it was janky as hell! Sometimes very unfair, but it was a fun playthrough!

Unpopular opinion, but I liked GAME.

I got some fantastic deals on the 3 for 2 pre-owned (eg. Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, Divinity Original Sin 2 and Immortals of Aveum for £36)

I got a lot of games for "free" as some where underpriced and part of the 3 for 2, so I will miss that for sure!

And going in as a kid in GAME and GameStation was fantastic, missed those times!

I am usually a sucker for these games, I have been Day one for all the games since Storm 1.

But I think this will be the first time I wait for a price drop, just not enough content for full price, but I will pick up eventually.

I have all of them on Switch physical (even the STORM trilogy Japanese cart), so this may be a buy physical for Switch and digital for online fighting for PS5, we shall see!

If this had an English dub I would buy this straight away, but I can't do a long visual novel in full Japanese only.

Danganronpa, Zero Escape Games, AI all have fantastic dubs and I would more inclined to buy these with a full English dub.

Kenzan and Ishin double pack remasters, DO IT SEGAAAA!

@MS7000 I can see these coming cross-gen like latest Yakuza game

I have been hoping to hear this! Please do it SEGA!

@Keyblade-Dan Samurai Warriors/Dynasty Warriors are very much different, in terms of gameplay mechanics and story.

Also Omega Force have made many great Warriors games after DW9 - Warriors Orochi 4, One Piece Pirate Warriors 4, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity and most recently Persona 5 Strikers, which have all reviewed very well and have been fantastic warriors games.

I think KT have learned from DW9, so I feel Samurai Warriors 5 will be great, if not fantastic. Fingers crossed regardless!

Finished the main Control game a while ago, but now to play the DLC! One of my favourite TPS games!

@shonenjump86 Definitely try the demo, I think you will be pleasantly surprised! It follows some arcs of the manga pretty well also.

Also a huge single player campaign with your OG character!

Underrated gem in my opinion, definitely for those who love crazy and lovely looking anime games.

Best football game I have played!

Where is that SLY COOPER MOVIE SONY!? You know the one announced that was suppose to come out in 2016?

Bit I suppose the R&C one tanked, so not holding my breath!

Sometimes I am glad I only play and love one sport... volleyball! At the moment there is no EA Sports: Volleyball, because if it played well I might do the same!

But I am glad I have no interest in sports games generally. Only the over the top anime ones like: Captain Tsubasa and Inazuma Eleven.

@nessisonett Also based in Glasgow, I am that bored inside after work that I might go on a stroll and try and find them haha! But probably on a motorway, like you said, so nahhhh.

Good luck all!

So happy about this, love Scott Pilgrim, the graphic novel, movie and this is one of my favourite beat-em-ups of all time! Fingers crossed for a physical release!!

@Anguspuss There are 'Card Packs' all earned just by playing the modes, so no 'Preminum' currency.

@Gatatog Haha I can agree with that!
