Sell it to Kojima Productions, that’s where it belongs.
Me as an MGS fan: Anniversary bundle with a remake of 1, HD collection 2+3, 4 for current gen consoles and 5, finished by Kojima.
Me as a realist: A new pachinko machine and a skateboard.
It’s nice to see Sony finally fully embrace emulators and the legacy catalog (especially after Jim Ryan’s comments about ‘old games’).
On a side note, emulator rewinds and save states really break some games as shown, like Abe’s Odyssey becomes super easy. But use is optional of course.
Overall though, looks good. The original ‘filter’ looks the best!
Agreed, the PSP not having dual sticks was brutal in some games, or it ended up dimming down the experience with auto aim mechanics etc.
E.G. the console ports of MGS PW are a lot more enjoyable than the PSP original.
Or perhaps people just wanted a similar service on their platform of choice? Nothing wrong with that.
I’d say it’s still not a true GP though until it has day 1 content.
But this subscription will be appealing to a good chunk of the user base.
Hell yes. Heck I’d settle for SH without trophies but with boosted framerate.
$5 isn’t bad at all. I don’t recall which PS1 games I own digitally but my current plan is to buy the ones I don’t (and am interested in) and skip on upgrading to a premium tier of PS+.
Can I view my old PS1 purchases without booting up my PS3?
Astros is still the best DS experience to date, nothing else even comes close.
They need to make Astro into a PS mascot and give us a fully fledged platformer.
Easily the best platformer in ages outside of Nintendo, and the recent 2 Crash games.
I wonder how much they’d go for. It’s a bit different from Activision too in that EA’s biggest revenue driving games are actually properties they don’t own or ones rely upon partnerships for like FIFA, NFL, Star Wars etc.
Although it looks like the FIFA one is already a solved problem given the recent announcements.
It’s also interesting that other bidders include Apple, Amazon etc - NBC is surprising but MS have been calling big tech out as their future ...
@Jin Yeah… they just have to bring Bank of America into the partnership and you’ve got the worst partnership possible 😂
I would be down for more TR for sure, remakes and new entries.
This wall of unformatted text just reads like a rant at this point.
None of what you said would suggest MS and Sony will or will not make more acquisitions in the future (obviously they will, they're both huge corporations and are now in an acquisition war).
Whether Zenimax and Activision is a show of strength or miscalculation is irrelevant to us as gamers at this point. The end result is the same, Most, if not all, Zenimax and Activision titles are ...
@Bathyj "Sony's clearly fine doing what they've been doing for 25 years. Selling games like the industry has always done."
Gotta future proof. I'm sure Blockbuster folk said the same thing about Netflix when it first came on the scene. Business models and consumer expectations change over time.
@S2Killinit Speculation. People said the same when Zenimax happened, and then Activision happened.
You and I would've both said they would never buy Zenimax, and definitely not Activision.
That being said, we won't see another Activision sized acquisition, or anything close, from both Sony and MS for a very long time, if ever. They will both make smaller purchases in the hundreds of millions to few billions max.
"But if you asked me to wager on what's more likely, Kojima Productions becomes PlayStation Studio or Kojima is making a Microsoft exclusive cloud game. Well, I'd put my money on Kojima joining Sony."
Why not both? Happened with Zenimax :P
If KJP is being paid by MS for an exclusive, and Sony were to acquire the studio, they'd still have to make the game / honor the contract.
So MS & Sony are never going to acquire anyone else? That seems very unlikely.
Well deserved. MGS, RE and SH are my favorite series of all time. Sadly 2 of the 3 are in Konami Hell.
Nothing to try. It's clear that both companies are going to keep making acquisitions.
By your logic of split resources etc, Xbox wouldn't have had $70bn to acquire Activision, same with PS & Bungie - but they both happened.
Yeah it’s not similar to the current system at all - I stand corrected.
Christopher also corrected me that on the site currently, increased activity does not grant a higher comment limit.
I’d settle for even just a port that can run at a stable framerate, if it’s 60 even better.
Visually the game still holds up well to this day, but the framerate and drops are brutal.
