Official cover of Harvest Moon: The Winds of Anthos PS5 version according to play-asia.

Made it to the moon lab in Jedi Survivor, and am glad it's a relatively "smaller" more contained map compared to Koboh & Jedha. The "Metroidvania" style progression really clicks when it's not stretched thin like it is over the latter two worlds' massive maps.

To be fair, Jedha wasn't too bad on my first visit, but I was only able to explore a little over 20% of it, and I could see from the lookout at the base's back that the next area is going to be a massive open zone (like the one Koboh opens up into) which just doesn't mesh too well with the basic gameplay loop & makes getting around a bit of a chore.

3pm CST for today's Playstation showcase. An hour long presentation. Should be a dandy. I'm hoping to see Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Metal Gear...anything, and Wolverine gameplay. I won't lie, I have been exceedingly tempted to order that FF XVI PS5 bundle.

I'm on the ragged edge.

Predictions for the Showcase:

• Spider-Man 2
• TLOU Factions
• Stellar Blade
• Rise of the Ronin
• Final Fantasy XVI
• Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
• Silent Hill 2 Remake
• Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake
• Castlevania
• Crash Team Rumble
• 2 or so live service 1st party games
• PSVR2 titles from 3rd parties, one 1st party
• Western 3rd party titles that I'm not gonna predict... probably something Ubisoft
• Indies

A GTA VI reveal would break the internet, but I'm not expecting it to be here.

Ok I’m seeing metal gear remake pop up EVERYWHERE. Is that game even confirmed to exist? Only some of these games that people predict have actually been announced, such as Crash and Spider Man 2. I’m not saying these announcements won’t happen, I’m just surprised people place so much faith in random folks on the internet. Remember the September Nintendo direct where Metroid Prime Trilogy HD, Wind Waker HD, and Twilight Princess HD were supposed to show up because Jeff Grubb said so? Right, because I do. Every single gaming news outlet including Nintendo Life reported on it and it never happened, not one of those games. I just don’t want anyone here to be disappointed like those poor twitter folks who are very disillusioned and out of touch with reality, that’s all.

Metal gear was so unexpected! And the foamstars fighters thing! I real,y would like more splatoon like games! And it seems vary creative to boot!

And the one game by the Journey devs, definitely playing that.

And spider man oh my god I can’t wait for Spider-Man!

Overall there were a lot of games that I personally interested in, but the ones I were, were vary good! 7/10

God, that sucked. Capcom and Insomniac were the only developers pulling their weight, and the Spider-Man stuff just doesn't do it for me, personally.

At least I can play MGS1 on a modern platform now.

Yeah, that wasn't very good.

Spider-Man 2 & Granblue Fantasy looked good, but we knew about those. Phantom Blade 0 (?), that Chinese action game, looked promising too. Nothing interesting other than those though (outside of CGI trailers).

Super disappointed that there was no new Stellar Blade trailer.

That showcase was pretty hard to watch. Fine for folk who like to gawp at graphics, but not much gameplay for me to hang my hat on. Even less actually captured my imagination. Still...

...DRAGON'S DOGMA TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@RR529 I was looking forward to seeing more of Stellar Blade and Silent Hill 2. Why was there no footage of MGS 3?

Sony is really fumbling the ball.

I'm glad I didn't even watch the showcase since I knew I can trust my instinct that there was NO upcoming kids games shown from the showcase.
Oh, well.
Back to check play-asia for upcoming 3rd party kids games.

Wow, Spider Man 2 looks incredible. I thought the first game was a solid 7/10, but this looks like an improvement in almost every way.

And the MGS ports and MGS3 Remake are really good news to hear. It’s great to know that the series isn’t dead and that Konami still cares about it somewhat, even without Kojima. Hopefully MGS4 will get a remake at some point as well.

Funny that I called the older metal gear solid games getting ported a day or so ago. But what fascinates me is that the first three metal gear solid games are part of volume 1/2. If I were to guess, I’d say Vol 2 would have the spin off titles Portable Ops, Revengance, and maybe 4. Only Solid 4 if it’s a PS exclusive set. I haven’t played it, but people say Solid 4 used some PS3 exclusive features and that’s why it hasn’t been rereleased yet. Interesting. Might buy the Metal Gear Solid Volume 1 because I haven’t played a Metal Gear game before, but only if it is something reasonable for pricing like 50 dollars. It’s just a bunch of old game ports, not worth 80-90 dollars CA.

@TheBigBlue I can't find anything about the collection coming to any other platforms (only the MGS3 remake appears to be multiplatform). So volume 2 will probably be 4 and the PSP games.

Gimme that MGS1 Remaster !!!!!!!!!

Sword of the Sea was the highlight for me. Although I was hoping for Metal Gear stuffs, MGS 3 is my least favorite in the series, lol. Peace Walker was more my hope but...rip, I guess that's being held for volume two of the MGS current-gen ports. Other than that I thought it was a fine presentation.

I assume volume one will be priced at $60.

Mmm, no thank you.

@Magician $60 would be absolutely mad. Konami has been pretty good with their pricing on these collections, so I doubt that'll be the case.

@Ralizah Are you thinking more along the lines of $40? Hmm, I dunno, maybe. I think MGS is Konami's most well known IP. Volume one contains five games and I think Konami asking $12 per game isn't wildly out of line.

@Magician The Castlevania/Contra collections are full of games and cost... what, $20?

$40 is the most I'd expect this to cost if they want this collection to actually sell.

Physical release confirmed for MGS Master Collection Vol. 1.
