I have no interest in this, but coincidentally, I just beat Blood & Truth, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It's evident from that title that London Studio was a really talented team. It's a shame the game is stuck on the clunky PS VR with its outdated tech, which definitely holds it back. It really deserves to be ported to PS VR2 and/or PC. Same is true for all of Sony's other VR exclusives, such as Astro Bot Rescue Mission, Farpoint, Iron Man VR.
@LiamCroft Is it safe to say that the campaign would have been better if it wasn't a CoD title?
It sounds to me like the devs at Raven/Treyarch are desperate to flex their creative muscle to craft a standout sci-fi campaign, but are constrained by the need to do so under the CoD banner.
@PerpetualBoredom "racism"?! If that's racism then this article is also contains racism. The only difference is one's fictional and the other is real. But for some odd reason you'd rather devalue a serious term instead of educating yourself through a simple Google search. Anyway, go ahead, have the last word and carry on.
I don't understand what the devs are thinking with the way CoD is handled on PS5, or how Sony allows it. I recently got a code for BO6 and I don't even know how to play the game because it appears in my collection simply as "Call of Duty" with the BO7 artwork. When I select it, it then prompts me to select either the PS4 or PS5 version of "Call of Duty Zombies". Meanwhile, all I care about is the campaign mode. It's so unintuitive. And the trophy situation is absolutely ridiculous. How do the devs not know that no one wants this?
I got tired of waiting for a PS5 option and finally played it on PC over the summer. Truly an incredible experience; I never experienced that level of immersion in a game world before in my 30+ years of gaming. Unforgettable. I would buy it again in a heartbeat if they released a quality PS5/6 port.
I wish Bluepoint would patch Shadow of the Colossus to run at 60fps in its 4k mode on PS5. There are also some lingering graphical issues that need fixing.
@Midnyte-Monkey That's exactly what I did and it only showed the two anniversary editions and the new demo. I just went back to the PS app on my phone and it was still showing the same thing, however, I then refreshed the page and the $35 standard edition is now showing, but the demo isn't there anymore. Not sure what's going on.
Is there seriously no standard edition of this game? The PS Store currently has the 1 year anniversary edition for $100 and the 2 year anniversary edition for $130 (on sale for $90). Where's the standard edition for $60-70?
I enjoyed the original so much I platinum'ed it. I would double dip if they offered a discounted upgrade. Otherwise, maybe I'll pick it up later on when it's on sale.
I would be surprised if even one user enabled power save mode on their PS5. This is definitely all about a future handheld device and has nothing to do with saving the environment.
I've been playing this recently. It really does deserve a 60fps patch, but I found that after a few minutes of play I got used to it. It seems like the 30fps in this game is a lot smoother than other games; I'm not sure why. What was more noticeable was the long load times and even the 1440p resolution. I'd be more than satisfied with a PS5 frame rate patch, but a native PS5 version that offers 60+ fps, 4k and eliminates loading would be really great. I would just hope it would be discounted for owners of the PS4 version.
I wish they would release a Pro patch for the first game in the meantime. That game could really benefit from the Pro's claim to eliminate the visuals vs. performance compromise.
@Cambrius That's not how remastering works. Developers don't remaster each old console version for their respective modern console counterparts. They choose one version and use that as the base for the remaster for all modern platforms. Additionally, remastering one console version of a game isn't inherently more difficult than doing so with another console version. I think you are confusing remastering with emulation.
I gave up waiting for a patch and finally played it on PC instead. Incredible game. I don't think I could go back to the PS4 version even if they did add 60fps because the game looks too amazing on PC. If they release a native PS5 version that holds up to the PC version then I'll definitely double dip for the trophies. Especially if the load times are improved.
Good news that Gears is finally coming to PS, but it's disappointing that it's not a collection. I played Ultimate Edition a few years ago and I was planning to play all the sequels on XB1, but once Microsoft started going multiplatform, I decided to wait for them to release a remastered collection on PS5. So I guess I'll continue waiting.
A Pro upgrade would be nice to eliminate the quality or performance mode compromise, but that's extremely unlikely considering how CDPR are not even updating Cyberpunk for the Pro.
PoP was my favorite IP back in the PS2 generation. I'm looking forward to the Sands of Time remake, but I truly hope we get a new 3D entry at some point. A sequel to PoP 2008 would be cool, or even another reboot. I'd also take another entry in the SoT story line, but the last one, Forgotten Sands, had a pretty underwhelming story, although the platforming gameplay was top-notch.
It would be nice if they patched Returnal with PS5 Pro support. The upscaled 1080p resolution could really benefit from PSSR, or even just a higher render resolution. It's strange that it hasn't been patched by now. I think it's one of the only first party PS5 titles to not get a Pro patch (alongside Sackboy and a few PS4 remasters).
Sony needs to do these already: Resistance collection Killzone collection Infamous collection Motorstorm collection Ratchet & Clank Future collection God of War Greek Saga
As for 3rd-party: Portal collection MGS4 GTA4
There are some more, but these are the essentials.
The original soundtrack was such an important part of those games, so replacing songs in the remaster is too much of a change. They could make the new songs optional additions, or put them in a new game, but removing some of the originals is a mistake. Nostalgia is a large part of the appeal of these remasters.
I would love remastered collection. Mercenary on Vita was also excellent; Guerilla Cambridge should have been given a shot at a full console title before they were shuttered.
It's pathetic how Sony has neglected their PS3 catalog. It's such a relatively small investment to contract a few 3rd-party dev teams to do the remasters. And if they release them on PC as well they would easily make a nice profit. It's also a very limited list: Killzone, Resistance, Infamous, Ratchet, Motorstorm. They did the same thing for PS2 collections on PS3, so I don't understand their staunch reluctance when it comes to giving the same treatment to their PS3 titles.
I loved this game on my LG flip phone back in the day. I kept it with the game installed up until the mid 2010s when a friend of mine desperately needed to borrow a phone. Never saw it again. I've always wanted to remake the game myself, but I lack the required dev skills, unfortunately.
I still don't understand why they chose to keep the area transitions in the game instead of making it seamless. It just seems like an obvious thing to eliminate in a remake on modern hardware.
@Richy2025 It definitely should not be free; the developers are doing a considerable amount of work to create this enhanced version, and they are a small independent developer/publisher, but they should offer a discounted upgrade price to those who purchased the original.
This post lists "Jak & Daxter Collection", but that is only available on PS3. The game that's on sale is listed as "Jak and Daxter Bundle" and are the PS2 emulated versions. However, these appear to be the PS4 versions that run on the old emulator. I believe only the first title has been re-released with the new emulator for PS5. Does buying this bundle grant access to the new version?
This is the series I spent the most time playing back on PS1 and PS2. 2, 3, 4, THUG, AW. I fell out with Project 8 at PS3's launch (don't remember why). I absolutely love the 1+2 remake, but this is exciting news for me because 3 was my all-time favorite, followed closely by 4. THUG was amazing too. Also THUG2 Remix on PSP.
I was expecting this, unfortunately. I don't understand why Sony changed the way trophy lists are handled on PS5. Why can't it be the same as PS4? What reason did they have to change it? How is it better? There are certainly improvements on PS5, such as trophy progress tracking, but this grouping change is a downgrade in every way and seems entirely unnecessary.
@Stale-Bread Oh. The 2 modes were referring to the base PS5, which has been the case with most games this gen. But the Pro should eliminate the need to compromise with the help of PSSR.
@Stale-Bread Why would you assume it can't run at 4k/60fps? It most certainly will run at 4k/60 with PSSR considering how every other PS Studios game that supports the Pro runs at those settings. I mean, the PS4 version already runs at checkerboard-4K/60 on a standard PS5. I honestly don't understand where you're coming from with that comment.
@Shad361 Ratchet and Returnal are not themed on PlayStation hardware and history. Additionally, Sackboy and Lego Horizon are their poorest performing titles on PC, so perhaps Sony realizes that family friendly platformers don't appeal to the PC market and porting titles such as Demons Souls and Bloodborne would be better investments.
@Grumblevolcano I watched that interview back when it was posted and just rewatched it. He was asked "Do you have a message for PC players who are eager to someday play Astro Bot", and his response was "well we want to hear from you... Absolutely, we want to hear from you". That's just about the most neutral answer he could have given, so I wouldn't read much into that. So the question is definitely not 'when' it will come to PC, but 'if' it will come.
@Grumblevolcano It's doubtful Astro Bot will be ported to PC; there's just too many references to PlayStation hardware. Also, Dualsense features are integral to the experience, but Dualsense support on PC is still not on par with PS5. I mean, it's possible, but I wouldn't bet on it.
Now that they're in the Nordics' Most Advanced Gaming Headquarters, maybe they can manage to release a PS5 Pro patch for Returnal because the 1080p native resolution could use a boost.
@LavenderShroud The PS4 remake is playable on PS5 if you have one. The PS3 also has a remastered version that's better than the PS2 original. If you don't have any PlayStation console, it's kind of odd that you're on a PS news site.
@Jayslow Seriously? You wrote the game off because they ran a beta test intended to help improve the final product. Do you understand what a beta build is? I can guarantee you that the game would be in a worse state at launch had they not ran the public beta test.
A beta is not a demo. If it could ruin the game for you, you're better off not playing it and waiting for the final release.
