Big uproar here and yet we accept criminals, sexual predators and nazi sympathisers in the white house and other places of power.

Remove Kagawa Posts ring as hollow as 6-7, cause gamers love to shout in the echo chamber, with nothing behind it.

The exp33 part looks like mid fanart straight off of deviantart.

Both great games in their own way, so why the tribal banter?

@DennisReynolds the only "3D gameplay" games were deadly alliance, deception (as in Tekken style) and special forces and shaolin monks as spin offs.

MK9,X, 11 and MK1 are in that sense also 2D gameplay, and should be in this Collection if 2D gameplay were the determining factor.

I would of just done a clear break between everything considered retro (which PS2 is by now, arguably also PS3) and MK9 which was a reboot of the series.

@DennisReynolds yes, but by that logic special forces and mk 4 shouldn't be there either.
I think a clean cut can be made with ps3's MK (9) and onward.

Looks great but why only a Gameboy version of deadly alliance? I was hoping for that deception and shaolin monks. I assume it's some licensing nonsense. Did any of these have characters from other IPs?

Looks very promising. I'll check it out for sure.

Also, who here finished Killzone 3 with the sharpshooter in coop? So much fun!

Loved Killzone, especially that weighty, grounded feeling and those PS3 graphics were way ahead of their time. Way better than the resistance trilogy where movement and shooting felt so impactless. Killzone's story never amounted to much however and Halo is generally the better game.

If only they wouldn't have blown all that money into bungie they could have had ownership in Square enix and perhaps WB games. Square especially with Sony's push for anime.

@Questionable_Duck I'm aware it's not the main cause, there were a bunch of factors, but I do believe that image was stuck and they only got rid of it recently thanks to game pass and indies.

However, as a RPG player I knew already with the PS3 that I'll be eating better at Sony and later down the line on PS4 and switch, while Microsoft still prioritised an American mainstream market.
Since they fumbled the xbone so badly, some casuals have crossed over to Sony and Nintendo, but also just lost many into other diversions like f2p, twitch, gambling etc. It's not like Sony swallowed up that entire market share.

Sure, actual media and art like proper video games, movies, books and music are all competing with social media trash and AI slop, but that's not why Xbox failed.

Xbox fostered a culture of toxic bro gamer that isn't invested in the medium, but rather just dabbles in the "normal" stuff like sports games and military shooter while neglecting the experiences unique to consoles. A broad user base jumped ship at the next distraction like phone games, insta, tik tok, crypto, fantasy sports, maga, etc... while gamers interested in the variety and niche are well fed on other platforms.
However, that's just one point on top of a bunch of poor decisions made by reality detached CEOs.

@Northern_munkey plain and glazed for me please 😜

Would have been fine with the master chief collection, but this remake is looking mighty fine. More of that please.

Said it before and will say it again. Uncritical and mindless ps5pro buyers will be the reason why we'll get to pay premium for ps6. Sony will know that it'll get away with unreasonable price hikes.
That's why I don't feel one bit sorry that you're not getting your money's worth. Power and performance is not what makes a console good, but ya fanboys won't get it in your thick skulls.

I was nervous about it possibly missing split screen co-op, but thank goodness it's there! Best memories beating this on legendary with my best friend. Time to get on the couch again next year!

@Andy22385 nevermind him, I've been trying to explain it, but he's caught up in trying to be right. Couldn't care less.

Game deserves the accolades and good sales. No reason to get political on it.

@Dogbreath I found the sp Dev comments cringey, however: western game devs... Extremists (with burner accounts)... said victim and the movement he promoted... benevolent... mhm

@MrHabushi I can run a low spec game on a PC, lower the TDP and keep Res and framerate the same until a certain point.
Of course that won't work on a AAA game that fires on all cylinders but as the other user said, simple games shouldn't show an impact, but that's up to Devs on console, unlike users tweaking these things on PC.

@Ludacritz yeah, shallow virtue signalling sucks, but that usually comes from corporations who use it mostly as PR gags, though in this case I think it's more about prepping for portable hardware.

However, government regulation in the EU has led to some consumer and environmentally friendly decisions, like usb c Standard, changeable batteries, right to repair and required updates and product support for 5 years starting at production end. These are just a few positive EU laws that come to mind.

Shuhei's got a good point. Why is any innovation that isn't base gaming performance considered a gimmick!? It's all about the implementation. That's why the ps6 should just be a single handheld device with a dock.
Maybe the true innovation is bringing in all current device functionality into a single device:

• Portal: PS6 is a handheld
• Home console: Egpu dock for handheld
• VR/AR: detach controllers and put the display into an optional affordable headset. Works wireless or over cable.

Best part of this comment section is how many don't get czar's sarcasm.
More mindnumbingly stupid is how somebody wants to make a boogeyman out of ESG.

Agree that this was a good decision. However hope they ignore the unjustified complaints about the "padding" in rebirth and make part 3 just as expansive.

@Ludacritz so the option to save some power is a bad thing if I understand you correctly?

@MrHabushi not necessarily if the game leaves lots of headroom in the normal power mode.

Down with this sort of thing!

Why can Like a dragon have all the side content in the world, but FF7 can't!? It's optional yet still well integrated. If it would be gone people would complain about length or linearity. I swear people just love to complain and Square enix should just ignore these moronic unconstructive voices.

Amazing voice, lot's of melancholy, looking forward to hearing it.

Worst bond song ever imo: Madonna - Die another day

Well, maybe it'll be worthwhile if they patch it over the next 2-3 years, but I doubt it.

Wow, bloober ftw! SHf just as amazing. Konami should keep up the good work, even if it's outsourced.

Don't care for crossovers, but Yakuza characters are good fits.

@belmont it's a question of mass adoption. The gaming market is brute forcing graphics on PCs with unoptimized games, where so much unused power hungry performance is not properly used. Consoles are more elegant with a closed system that doesn't need to be scaled. But Arm can seriously be the future, perhaps even paired with beefy GPUs if one really needs all that performance when stationary. There has barely been a noteworthy leap within the x86 APU space as this video shows. The next step up would be that beefy amd ai max+, but that thing is too power hungry and doesn't go well with low TDPs. No, I don't want to see an apple hardware future, but open platform Arm is a good thing.

@nomither6 sure, there's always some captain obvious who looks at both and enlights us all how the switch looks like crap next to a home console or pc. But what should I say... twits.

I don't really get the pc handheld Vs ps5 comparison. It's like comparing a vespa with a muscle car.

What is however quite telling is the miniscule difference between the 3,5 year old steam deck and a new, 1000€, big company backed handheld. The pc handheld market has just pushing prices upward, seeing what they could get away with, and it's just sick.

Another point that irks me is just how ***** the x86 (classic PC) architecture is. You got arm (android) processors running more current pc games, emulated, at passable to well playable performance at good battery runtimes. Just imagine that! The average pc handheld will get you 1-2 hours with only slightly better performance. And we're still talking early days of android pc emulation. Just go check out some emulation footage on a snapdragon 8 elite via game hub... it's a game changer.

At this point, why are we still even considering x86 for handhelds, or even console/desktops.

If only we could get a sequel or spin off to sleeping dogs.

So glad SHf gets the love it deserves and even beats out silksong. Silksongs great and all, but I got so tired of the relentless hype around it asking about it. Just way out of proportion for a good Metroidvania.

I've seldomly been so amazed by a game's story as much as with silent hill f. Maybe not the story a manosphere infected gaming community can broadly digest but a relevant one for that, despite the game playing in the 60s.
And don't get it wrong, this is a silent hill game through and through that sits comfortably next to the best of the series. Silent hill is defined by it's themes and not by it's setting.

The possibility of an extended version kept me from playing it so far.

What about the swappable battery pack? Sony better move on to comply with EU law rather than just giving us colours that cause eye bleeding.

Ninja Gaiden 4 Black in a few years it is then... I'm in no hurry... you perhaps koei-tecmo?

This is a fan-film or perhaps an overreaching student project so just let it be. Posting this for indirect mockery is unprofessional.

The only time I felt that things felt samey was around the time of days gone and tlou2, there's plenty of variety though.
It reflects poorly when one just picks the examples that serves ones point.

@Flaming_Kaiser and the direct attack and your hyperbole is just a prime example of the healthy discourse in gaming. Congrats!

On base ps5 both sh 2 and f the graphics are sharp enough to look good on a big 4k TV and the frame rate's smooth except for a short stutter while auto saving.

Don't know what everyone is on about, but the obsessive scrutiny on frames and resolution is really taking the fun out of gaming for many it seems.

Glad that I just stacked game pass for another year in advance, but after that it'll be dropped like a hot potato.

If they're that desperate, how about putting it on patreon or onlyfans. Sheesh... You know these events are made to promote the game, right!?

Don't besmirch kpdh with Fortnite! Generally, crossovers in every game are very lame. I'm baffled people actually resonate with it.

If it gets a John Wick style shooting & melee gameplay right I don't care what other obvious inspirations it took.

The only true cardinal sin of games would be if the end result is boring, and this looks anything but that.

I seldomly buy digital (usually dlc), and I still managed to get 5€ vouchers multiple times, just by booting a few games via PS plus streaming. PS Stars was a good program which got me to play some games that I perhaps wouldn't have tried otherwise, though it didn't get me to buy more digital.

Well Pushsquare has really squeezed every sort of article out of final fantasy 7 and 15 sales, so who's making a big issue out of it.

The only game in 35 years... so here, exactly the same game... thanks!

The small niche who really care have already played it with the English patch. Of course they all also own an original copy, somewhere.
