Vol.2 never comes, Konami uses "poor sales figures" excuse
*in Patrick Bateman voice*
Hmmm, very interesting... now, let's see ABANDONED's gameplay....
How about no? This talk should be reviled. However "easy clicks" will always win out. Let devs be. Indie devs should be the ones who get to decide if they go full allegiance or not, otherwise it makes the "independent" part redundant.
Nobody should acquire them, and they, as an independent dev, should be allowed to choose which platform(s) to develop for.

Haha.
The dryness of this is so good. I'll probably remember this comment in the morning and chuckle some more.
Are you okay, Obscure? Is MS endangering you? Blink twice if you need help.

I really want to be excited for this. I well and truly do. However....
Perhaps because this is one of my top 3 all time best games, I have a guard up against this actually being more than a visual upgrade. As in, essentially the PS2 experience with a coat of UE 5 paint.
There's a ton of opportunity here. What I would like is more akin to MGSV's animation and game play, but then I see the CQC grab present in this video and it looks very much like t...
Gee whiz, what happened here?
In response to Crows90, I don't believe that I said there isn't any. I said they've been far and few between, a strong distinction.
In response to Rupee, again I didn't say that there wasn't any, or not enough. Perhaps you personally get excited for third party content and that's fine if you do, nobody's taking that away from you. But for me, personally, hearing there will be a showcase and then he...
Is this better than the previous nothing? Yes.
Does that mean this shouldn't have been done over with a fine tooth comb? No.
This was the perfect opportunity to present a nicely compiled collection featuring the additional bells and whistles for modern visual setups and QoL improvements as needed.
Imagine Konami announcing Silent Hill Master Collection and they use the HD versions of 2 and 3
The sad thing is that excluding Nintendo, this has been the third party generation so far because exclusives on both sides have been so few and far between. Something about the initial hype of "Xbox/Playstation showcase" and then the immediate deflation with "3rd party games"
Persona 3 is where the series started for a lot of people. It still maintained its niche status but exposure grew at P3, and then by P4 it was skyrocketing and became considerably less niche.
The first two did see more attention in their PSP releases, but I'm not sure if they sold well enough to warrant another attempt at re-exposure. There's also the problem now of SEGA having final say since buying ATLUS, and I would figure this is the true culprit behind where t...
Anything to not produce actual games the same way Nintendo and Sony do, huh?
I just don't understand. I mean, the ultimate goal is the quiet and slow conglomeration of the industry with them on top through buyouts and misdirection, obviously, but taking their statements at face value they look inept beyond reason.
You spend $69 billion dollars for a large scale acquisition, showing everyone in the process that money is not an issue, and then turn aro...
Apparently Phil won't force them to make any games at all, either.
Battle passes, always online, predatory microtransaction practices, focus on cosmetics and in some cases pay to win features over game balance and playable content, low effort and low output... pick from a hat, really.
A stupidly rich man gets richer and avoids serious recompense from very serious offenses under his tenure thanks to other stupidly rich men who also get richer.
Meanwhile, we argue amongst ourselves over trivialities and brand loyalties we foolishly think brings us the future we want... but in reality serves only the bottom line: money and greed.
And so begins the start of the "I told you so" era.
Friday the 13th, the day gaming changed.
A multi faceted statement as like most things, with time beholding the true answer.
Soulcalibur Broken Destiny, huh? Wonder if it'll have trophies.
I think this looks worse personally and it also further confirms that for whatever reason, the PS2 still reigns supreme in Sony's offerings because it had the best slim model and every slim after it didn't look as good as that one. Especially considering the size of the original PS2 to the slim.
But that's also more of my personal opinion.
