I'm so tempted to press play on the video and watch it...but maybe I shouldnt?!?
...hmm maybe I should.
Decisions, decisions...aahh!

@patronmacabre

• then those that only play Royal will pick up Persona 5 Strikers and be like "I thought this was a direct sequel to Persona 5?" - they'd be confused because Kasumi is missing in P5S but that's because P5R isn't canonical.

Persona fans definitely...saw-this-comiiinngggg!
Congrats to Atlus!
Now please tease us with an image of Persona 6 - like a color scheme and any sort of item to give us a hint of something.
(I'm thinking they'd go with Green this time)

Fantastic News! I know it'll be a while but it's nice to know that something new is coming in the future. Trials (not Trails) deserves more love and glad it's getting it!

@Olmaz
I think it's CyberConnect2 and Sega, not BamCo.

We all should practice our water breathing technique.
Predicting that this game will get a 6 or a 7 (typical for most anime fighters, esp its first entry) but hopefully its fanbase will make it sell well at least.

some fans can never be satisfied...it's either:
> Sony is too quiet, how come they haven't said anything OR
> Sony is giving us too much info/exposure about their games, it'd be nice if they left some mystery about it OR
> Sony is totally gonna release (insert Sony 1st party top tier game here) and if they don't by this specific date that I want them too then they suck and I'm gonna be super pissed.

- let's all just be patient and play some awesome games.

I'm not a Trails fan...I assume I'd have to play Trails of the Sky, of the Azure, of the Cold Steel, of the Dark Mountain, of the Giant Robot with Swords and I can't forget about, Trails of the School with powerful students but don't call me Persona - to fully understand Trails of Nayuta?

I'm messing with you guys! but glad to see games that have similarities to Ys combat. That's one of my favorites!

my most anticipated game.
hope more folks jump on board.

Tetris Effect (PS4)
Bloodstained ROTN (PS4)
Plague Tale Innocence (PS5)

fans that are mad about this are making the PS fanbase look whiny and (insert crying meme of your choice here).
who cares, there are so many games to play. play something else...like play Skyrim for the 746th time...
MS made a business decision, nothing people can really do about it.

I'm not interested in Bethesda games but good for the MS players if that's what they're into.

Yay video games!

Tales of Arise / Guardians of the Galaxy / Legend of Mana

that piece of information is utter "CHAOS!"

@Rob_230
facts on facts.
I dont play Life is Strange but the VO for the main character of True Colors is gorgeous and as a person of Asian descent
1) representation is a real thing
2) helloooo nurse!

GotG looks fun and totally agree that Avengers should have been more focused instead of trying to be like an online microtransaction multiplayer w/e it's trying to be.

FF Origins has terrible voices because it's ENG, I'm sure the JPN voices would be better...although the game itself seems kinda boring at best.

I agree that Sony has a State of Play in the works, either end of this week or maybe next month to showcase more ish (including FFXVI and other exclusive stuff)

[Main Game] Persona 5 Strikers (about to beat the 3rd jail)

[Side Game] Vasara Collection (bought this shoot em up for $0.99 on PSN - fun, but challenging)

so freakin cool! I'm so excited for this game! Tales of Arise looks great and will likely play well too.
Watch the JPN trailer! The ENG voices just don't do games like this justice.

it's cool. let the execs at MS XBox One series XYZ 720p ABC 123 talk the talk.
let the Studios at Sony walk the walk.

I love JRPGs, but this isn't doing anything for me. I hope it does well though!

1) Persona 5 Strikers!
2) maybe dust off the VITA and continue my Ys Seven playthrough.
3) Have a nice weekend to all!

I'm setting expectations low.
As a PS supporter, I look forward to the games that Square Enix, Capcom and Bamco could/would/will reveal or continue to show off.

SONY: we are about the next generations
MICROSOFT: you can play any of our old games on the new XBoX One X-YZ 720p 98 degrees - we'll call it smart delivery...it's really just backwards compatibility but it sounds cooler right?
GAMERS: Yay! MS is so consumer friendly - I wish Sony did that. Sony sucks, they hate me as a consumer....but man, I do love my PS exclusives...
SONY: ok, so while we did say we believe in next gen - the fans are pretty loud, maybe we should cater to them...why don't we make our exclusives playable for both PS4 and PS5? - sure let's do that. that way they can enjoy our games on whichever system they have.
GAMERS: boo! Sony are a buncha liars!

Hype indeed.
I'm not sure who to side with. It depends on the other characters that side with either Oda or Mitsuhide to see which play style/weapon style I like more.

wow! that art style looks stunning!
the relaxing gameplay is something that i can get into.
how long is the game? less than 10hrs i assume?

All the 4k 60 8k 360,7289p 96 f p s etc etc. doesn't make a difference to me when it comes to whether or not I want to play the game.
The Tales of/ Tales series is always a must play in my book. The new style looks good, the older style was great too.
Yay JRPGs!

any news is good news for the SW series. thanks for the reporting Push Square! : )

I'm happy with it continuing to be turn based combat but perhaps speed it up and make it more dynamic like Persona does. I hope they keep with the Toriyama art style because I'm worried that they'll change it to appeal to western audiences...
: (

If it's tastefully done, then I'm ok with it. I don't usually play mobile games but sure why not.

one of my most anticipated games!
love me some SW!
this is my favorite franchise (next to One Piece) in the Musou genre!

• CAN'T WAIT!

it's too bad about this game...when it drops to $20 or below then I'll cop it.

• Marvel should really share out their characters to Koei Tecmo and Omega Force to make a Musou game (comic book, not MCU) and just go bananas.

I don't have a PS5 but uhhh....YES!

Golden Week Sale is my favorite sale of the Year. Can't wait to see what's in store.

I hope this isn't true. I don't want to play a slow, stiff moving fighting game with Marvel Characters in a dark, edgy atmosphere.
I'm good. Just let Capcom figure it out again and go from there.

I am looking forward to seeing video game news from Playstation, regardless of it's going to affect me right away or down the road...

I am kind of curious and ready to do an eye roll at what the complaints are going to be about already...such as:
"oh, the State of Play is not long enough / oh why are they showing R&C gameplay, i've seen enough / oh, they're doing this before Returnal; that's dumb, Sony is stupid.../ oh great, more indies, who cares, we want AAA games all the time but we dont want to pay for it, so just give it to us for free.../ oh, another State of Play? i don't care, i'm just going to keep yelling about how PS doesn't have GamePass. / oh, a State of Play? it's been a while, why don't they have a State of Play every Tuesday at 10am when the sun is out and birds are chirping and the outside temperature is to my liking - that's how it should always be / etc. etc. etc.

not disappointed at all. shouldn't be an issue. it's rare to be playing a JRPG in a co-op way anyway. i have done so in the past for a few moments but overall i do think JRPGs are meant to be played solo.
let the development team focus on what they want to focus on and deliver the game in the best way possible.
so excited for this game!

Streets of Rage 4
Bloodstained: RoTN
Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin
SW: Jedi: Fallen Order (seem to be in the rumor mill -so yeah, that'd be cool)

Looks cool! Outside of the One Piece Musou, Samurai Warriors is my favorite.
I appreciate the new take of going back in time to the younger versions of Oda, Shingen Takeda, Uesugi etc. as they rise up and take charge of their respective regions.
It was cool to see what we know of Oda to look like now at the end of the trailer, plus his voice changing to a more serious tone is good to hear.
Excited for this one in July 2021.

Been one of my most anticipated for years now.
So excited for this. It's my only non-Japanese studio made game that i'm really looking forward to.
Good luck to Experiment 101 and THQ Nordic.

@Asthmalxrd if you miss or want more obnoxious guitar shredding during battles - make sure you check out the Ys games (if you havent already)

OMG SO EXCITED FOR THIS! finally a release date (sept 10 2021) and some gameplay.
YAY JRPGs!

whoa-whoa-o-oohh! * Guitar Riff *
not interested in a mobile type game on console. i think i might've played it a few times and was like eh. The Bleach Heat the Soul games on PSP were quite fun though.

• as @Judal27 said, hopefully the "new" anime will do the series some justice and I would gladly take a Bleach Musou game similar to a One Piece Pirate Warriors OR if they do an Arena fighter, then do one like One Piece Burning Blood.

OMG. THIS LOOKS AWESOME! glad they put out some gameplay footage. CAN'T WAIT : )

I like the App and use it often. It's become part of my social media scrolls when on my phone. Improvements and additions are always welcomed.

@nicc83 THANK YOU.

@BrainHacker sure, that's a fair gripe. that sucks to lose save files. although it has been known for a while that you'd need PS+ to do cloud saves (i think)...but i suppose that is certainly something Sony can address.

@Robinsad ...
and MS has done what? talk about GamePass ad nauseam and put a trailer out for a Perfect Dark game that probably won't come out for another 2 years or more and Halo Infinite isn't out either.
I don't follow XBox coverage religiously so I'm probably missing something, but i'm quite sure i'm not missing anything mind blowing.

I can only speak for myself but just based on observation, some folks seem like they're too hung up on what MS/XBox is doing.
Can Playstation improve on some things?! sure. But i feel like there's a swell /pressure from the PS fanbase that is clamoring for a response to MS and I don't get it.

If GamePass and playing old games/3rd party titles are so important to you, then just buy an XBox or subscribe to Gamepass and play on your PC.

Sony and MS seem to have different philosophies when it comes to running their video game side of things and maybe that's okay. They don't have to go tit for tat if they don't want to.

I prefer QUALITY over QUANTITY.

But hey, complain away I guess...

Finished YS IX Monstrum Nox (highly recommended)

• I'm off to my backlog and decided to jump into...
  = Rise of the Tomb Raider.

Debating whether or not to buy Streets of Rage 4 (which is from the $20 and under Sale)...
From the Spring Sale, maybe Catherine, Sakura Wars, GhoTsu, TLOU 2 or 13 Sentinels...though honestly probably none. I have so many JRPGs left to play on my backlog.

@Fight_Teza_Fight
if you enjoy the One Piece manga/anime...play the game. it's just nice to be with Luffy and the crew.

YS IX MONSTRUM NOX
on the second to last chapter.

• will probably move on to P5 SCRAMBLE after.
