Good to know Sony has learned absolutely nothing. I'll probably wait 5 years before I grab the PS5, between their self-righteous desire to tell other companies what is or isn't appropriate without actually making clear guidelines, going all-in on expensive future-proofing hardware that will limit purchases for the average consumer (myself included, $400 was pushing it for the PS4 ffs. I looked online and I can't get even half of what they're saying they're putting in the PS5 for under $600. Even if they lose-lead for a few years, it's all but guaranteed to be a rerun of the PS3's launch), and now they're going to focus on big-budget AAA titles, while doing little to nothing to highlight the smaller titles that bring genuine creativity to this industry?
Yeah, no, call me when they've come back down to Planet Earth, please.
It's ironic for me to see upcoming PS4 games that match with my criteria.
I only can get these so far :
1. The Sims 4 Deluxe Party Edition & Cats + Dogs bundle in physical.
2. Portal Knights Gold Throne Edition
3. Dragon Quest Builders 2
4. Override Mech City Brawl
And with these games that i considered the Switch version instead of PS4 version.
5. Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD
6. FF XII TZA
7. World of Final Fantasy
8. Overcooked Gourmet Edition
9. Overcooked 2
10. Penguin Wars
11. Little's Dragon Cafe
12. Yonder the Cloud Catcher Chronicles
13. Youtubers Life OMG Edition
14. Chocobo's Mystery Dungeon Every Buddy
15. Crash Bandicoot N'sane Trilogy
16. Dragon Quest Builders 1
17. Poi : Explorer Edition (PS4 version doesn't have physical release)
18. 99 Vidas
19. Puyo Puyo Tetris
20. Lost Sphear
21. LEGO CITY Undercover (But missing Mario / Nintendo franchises due to licence copyright)
22. Super Bomberman R
23. Street Fighter 30th Anniversary
24. My Time at Portia
If i considered those 24 PS4 games above, it will make my PS4 slim very worthy. But alas.... I choosed those 20 titles for my Nintendo Switch. 😅
I've recently started up Knack, which I got on sale for $4 months ago.
I'm actually finding it to be a pretty nice time so far. It's no God of War or Spider-Man, but it's not a bad game, IMO. It looks pretty nice, and gameplay, while simple, is responsive & solid. If I had any complaints, it's that I think Knack's design is a bit ugly, and the medieval troll civilization doesn't fit the rest of the world, which has more of a sci-fi vibe (almost like they're leftovers from a time when the game could have had a different theme).
Currently Playing:
Switch - Blade Strangers
PS4 - Kingdom Hearts III, Tetris Effect (VR)
@RR529 The story is also terrible, the combat is repetitive, the main gimmick is either shallow or under-utilized, and the level design isn't very good, especially as you go along. $4 sounds about right for it.
@RR529 I enjoyed knack for what it was also, just a throwaway launch title. Was an overwhelmingly mediocre game but I had fun playing with my kids. Was one of the first games they beat! The sequel is definitely an improvement and is constantly on sale too. Not loads better but fixed some issues the first had.
@redd214 I swear you're such an optimist you make @JaxonH look like a pessimist.
@Ralizah I don't think it's possible for Sony to not get slapped hard. They've gone on full arrogant mode again, they've flipped off most of the industry. Even freaking Capcom debuts stuff on Microsoft's stage now, Squeenix made the entire legacy of FF multiplat the moment Sony sold their shares, the entire "core gamer" internet sphere is aware of Sony's crossplay and censorship shenanegans, and now the indies comment. I don't even like indie games more times than not and I'm offended.
Meanwhile Good Guy Phil has been handing out "everyone gets a new game!" Oprah style platitudes and buying up gamer cred in spades, and has now united Nintendo, XBox, and PC Master Race gamers as one happy friendly people while Sony walks around with double middle fingers and a tongue stuck out.
PS3 Repeat Awaits!
@RR529 Hey, I really liked Knack, but I still love Knack 2. I still don't get the internet fire breathing over it. It's a fun action brawler, better than Skylanders, has some modest puzzling...it's just a fun romp. It's not a seminal title people talk about for years....but it's just fun to play.
@Ralizah: That's a really great list....remind me never to buy Sony exclusives again
Displeased with their decision to change the game out. Maybe if I whine loudly enough they'll change it back lol.
@NEStalgia being an optimist takes less effort. The amount of time and energy people waste by getting all working up over something as trivial as video games is astounding.
@redd214 The amount of biting of one's tongue that most occur to be an optimist in the modern world is more effort than telling it like it is. I'm starting to picture you wearing one of those We Happy Few masks
