It'll still sell like hot cakes. People are wasting over 1k$ for freakin' flip-phones these days. Don't see how $600-ish price tag would put anyone off. Let me take my dollar-drill out of the closet in the meantime
Please, no more zombies... Would love to see arcady adventuring like in Jak & Daxter / Crash bandicoot finally for the next-gen ... an answer to Astro...kinda
It's so funny when you think of it...each fw update during the lifecycle of the console says it improves system performance & stability...how super-broken must've the OG firmware been? How did SONY dare to release such a product to retail?
Honestly...who would this be for?
1) owners of PS4 system who upgraded to PS5 - they most likely played that already
2) fresh PS5-only owners/newcommers to the Playstation ecosystem - why would anyone be interested in a prequel to Forbidden West? This prequell would be largely inferior (combat system, map scale, story, enemies, etc.)
3) collector editions addicts - 299 for a shoebox with a download code - maybe
The sad thing is, it cannot even be coumunity-supported later on, like the Ouya is as this is "just" a controller. Oh well, time to migrate from Gmail somewhere else...who knows when they decide to shut down their email service
Dwarf-like characters hopping around a child-like main character hopping around in jungle hm hmm...where have I seen that? The question is ... Does the "ancient seal" open up the "bridge of spirits"? We're about to find out next year LOL (I can totally see myselft writing these articles for money ^_^)
oh, okay, so biased articles are still a thing in 2022...woke up too early from my grave it seems "You only jump and collect things and talk to robots..." ... hey, guess what...in Doom Eternal you "only shoot aliens in the head and jump and collect ammo". Is Stray perfect? Maybe not...nobody ever told it would be. With it's 29.99 release-day price tag does it rank among AAA next-gen titles? Not really, hence we should adjust our expectations here...
That's why I'll most likely never support either the Extra or Premium tier...just not really worth it. So many drawbacks. On top of that, I don't like the idea of paying extra for Sony to tell me when to play my monthly games before they get delisted from the service or before the streaming session gets aborted.
So far I'm enjoying it, I like Egyptian mythology. Not paying attention to trophies, as they're most probably tied to collecting every little thing there is, wondering how many will I have missed by the time I beat the game
@savarunl Exactly...but from the PS subscription perspective, I don't really need to pay for the top tier to play for fun. I can fire up my PS1 and have the same amount of fun. Get it?
I'm still missing any swan-song AAA exclusive title(s) for the PS4. You know...like we had for the PS1 back in the 2000-ish era ... Spyro 3 or GT2 for ex. Yes we had Ghost of Tsushima & TLOU 2 but ... eh ... still not quite there in my opinion. That cross-gen downgraded mumbo-jumbo doesn't really count. Before the PS4 retires (original or PRO) it should take one last hefty "breath of the wild" (LOL). An exclusive that would go down in history...that would be remembered with dignity. One last mega-title with which the devs would rush all-in...guns blazin'...utilising all the bells and whistles (60fps/HDR, motion sensors, gyro function, vibration, touchpad, camera/VR mode, Vita/mobile cross-functions, etc.). For that, even a 59.99 tag would be justified.
It may be remembered by gamers (or parents of gamers) aged 35+, not necessarilly meaning it would be enjoyed/bought by players aged 20+ #fortheclassesnotthemasses
