As long as those enhanced and super editions keep having commercial success Capcom and others will maintain their modus operandi just the same. Lets face it, it works for them.

Maybe if it was under $20. The timing of its announcement was abysmal.

I'll pass, was gonna get it but since I haven't heard anything about them allowing us to force people to use normal controls online I'll pass.

who ever wrote this article needs 2 slaps for each side of their face dont be an idiot the world is already full of them the "new" stages are a joke they are not new if they are just night versions to the originals, and as for dlc for this game Megaman will be used just cuz Capcom knows they will make more money on him as DLC than just putting him in the game and on top of that he probably is in the game just we gotta pay around $5 for a key code to unlock him -_-

Then theyll release another version

I'm waiting for the version that has Megaman in it. Game will be fun, but after Megaman Universe and Legends 3 I have to stick with the blue bomber on this one.

DLC for all 12 characters & 8 stages would of cost more than the 40 bucks that we're paying for the disc, this is the better deal.

I was supporting this guy's article until he called Phoenix Wright lame.

Still no Gambit , Megaman , Nightcrawler, Venom , Ken , Bison ? I refuse to waste money on this crap !!

Yeah.......Ill be buying KOF XIII ONCE instead. But I laughed at article when they said Megaman was canned because of his lack of variety in attacks yet Ryu is there with the same attacks he used from Street Fighter 2......

Needs more Phoenix Wright...oh wait...

Now that Jim Ryan is gone just need to remove Herman Hulst from his position! And maybe give Shuhei the position he deserved.

This gen hasn't been the best for games, last gen consoles are still out there and now there's been talk of the PS6 and Xbox Two for a year or so. Many games this gen will be ported to next gen and the cycle will continue. The re-release of the Neo Geo AES+, games on cartridge for £70 ($95), gaming is going back in time. Gaming has gone pricing mad with the high cost of games, consoles and controllers. The men and women at the top are clueless.

It’s always interesting to hear behind-the-scenes stories like this, especially involving veterans like Shuhei Yoshida and leadership figures like Jim Ryan. That said, there are usually multiple sides to decisions at that level. It could be less about not “listening” and more about differences in long-term vision for PlayStation. Yoshida played a huge role in shaping the brand, so whatever the reason, his impact is undeniable.

If true, and I'm inclined to believe it is, it goes to show that Sony lost their way when they became more western/didn't respect the PlayStation origin story. Andrew House and Jack Tretton did great work, but they also didn't try to fundamentally change the PlayStation DNA. Ryan oversaw the death of Japan Studio and a live service direction.

I already figured this, good lord imagine if Shuhei took over instead, would've been a platinum era 😩

I miss the first three generations of PlayStation. The way they turned PS3 around, we knew they meant business. We were all worried for a bit there around launch. Eventually from 2008 they started shifting slowly. But since Yoshida was fired, it's never been the same. Still enjoy my PS5 daily. I got a backlog dating back to PS2 lol So I'm fine but new games aren't as appealing anymore.

It seems like we were thrown on to the worst timeline possible where everything is too expensive and the wrong people were put in positions that makes the world a shitty place. We could have had Shu as the head of PS but we got the shitty alternative. Same goes for everyone in power around the world. Doesn’t matter the company or country the majority of us got the shitty picks and the world is declining like never before. I do think PS can come out of this because of their studios, talent and IP but they need someone more in touch with gamers leading things like Shu was. They’re still the best place for console gaming imo but it could be much better than it is especially without the massive live service failures. The rest of the world I have a lot less hope for right now. Hopefully the pendulum swings back towards the good ole days but I’m preparing for the worst.

There goes illuminati distraction story

So now there's certifiable proof that Ryan was in fact "fired", as opposed to when it was first announced that he "retired", in order to save face.

There's another guy who recently "retired" as CEO of another large gaming company, after doing a dismantling job as lead for well over a decade.

seems legit, the business man, fires the one who has ideas to move the business forward.

Jim Ryan is the reason why we are entering year 6 since the PS5 launch and many of us don't feel like the PS5 has gotten started as yet.

I hope going forward, we will see a return to form.
