The first review got leaked and it's a 9.5 from dualshockers. It's looking really promising.
I know right?
Why do developers think to know what players want? What about asking, you know, actual players?
Playstation and Nintendo are not competitors. Totally different targets.
Each company just wants to make the most profit, and Nintendo is such a strong brand that can afford to sell games at full prices withouth sales.
Weaker brands need to go on sale in order to continue selling some units.
That's just how it goes.
"Old Scraps"? That's literally one of the best games on Xbox, even today.
Plus, Sony didn't ask for it. Microsoft begged Sony to publish their games, so...
Fair enough, the PS5 Pro is a niche premium product. Not everyone is going to see a substantial difference.
For me, on my Samsung 4K 55'' OLED, the PS5 Pro feels much better than the base PS5 I had before, at least on some games like FF7 Rebirth or Resident Evil 4. The only problem I have with it is the European price: 800€ + 120€ for the disc drive + 30€ for the stand. That's quite an investment.
I'm glad I preordered it. 4 days to go!
Looks like Bloober Team made it, eventually.
700$ is a little too much since it doesn't have a disc drive.
800€ here in Italy is... unacceptable.
1. That's not true, multiplatform games have reviews on both consoles even when they launch simultaneously. The platform of choice depends from the reviewer.
2. When a game is ported to another platform afterwards, it could perform differently or contain different content, so it makes sense to review it a second time.
3. Playstation is the more popular console, so game journalists are interested in writing reviews for more clicks.
You're talking about Silent Hill: The Short Message, which is a different title.
This is the remake of Silent Hill 2, it will be sold at full price.
@Tedakin
That shouldn't be the norm.
Games should release in a finished state, how someone can accept that a game comes out buggy and barely playable is beyond me.
I bought it two years ago for 80€... and I returned it after three days.
It's cool looking, but it's not a fridge. It's just a very small and weak air conditioner that keeps the inside cool. The drinks must already be really cold, and it doesn't keep the temperature for a long time. Completely useless.
MGS and Mario are popular, but they weren't upgraded... MGS collection actually runs even worse than the trilogy released by Bluepoint on PS3. And the Mario games on Switch were just emulated.
I really don't see the scandal about this remaster. Yes, it will probably be 70$ for the physical version, but that's just the usual price for the "director's cut" edition of other PS5 games. Also, you can just buy the cheap PS4 version and upgrade it, so... ...
MGS Collection was a cash grab.
Super Mario 3D all-stars and every other Switch re-release of older games is a cash grab.
This is just a 10$ upgrade for a very popular game, that also includes some DLC. And, quite frankly, I would pay even more if Naughty Dog continues to pull out games like this in return.
Get over it.
I'm a Harry Potter fan, but the game was nothing special... just an average ubisoft open world. I couldn't finish it, I got really bored after less than 20 hours.
It may deserve a nomination for "best licensed game", but nothing else.
@franwex
I disagree with your sentiment, I think Alan Wake 1 was great and memorable, and Control was not perfect but very enjoyable, especially the DLCs. Quantum Break was the black sheep, it was an okay game, and it's reflected in the mixed metascore.
@BanginTunes
That's your opinion and that's fair. I think FF XVI was an 8 at least, it had very simplistic mechanics but the story was awesome.
Still, we're not ...
@BanginTunes
They also gave Final Fantasy XVI a 6. Which is way under the metascore.
They're contrarians, not an absolute joke like Tom Chick, but they sure give low scores to a lot of well received games.
I didn't find a single bug in 10 hours.
Would make sense and would be awesome if true, I also hope they will seize the opportunity to patch the PS5 Pro version now.
