@Friendly It is not that easy. SotN runs on emulator created by Sony on the modern consoles. I guess there are probably MANY obstacles, but money is the biggest one.
I think we underestimate just how GREEDY companies are They do not care about fan wishes. They probably did the math, and it is still not enough for them ...
@FunGuy Yes, Sony paid for Requiem themselves, and they do not want it on any other current platform. The SotN version in the Requiem collection is the PSP version with the new voice acting. I think the same goes for Rondo. It is kind of exclusive and it is made with Sony's money.
Unfortunately, I do not see this happening unless someone throw a huge bag of money at them.
I am saying that one does not influence the gaming industry, and the other one is.
What a country is making in their own borders is none of my business. Even as horrible as it is.
It is in the human nature to be cruel and that will never change. And I doubt that Nintendo will let them influence their business. As I said they just want a good return on their investments.
UNFORTUNATELY the delivery of Echoes of Wisdom is late, and I will get it probably on Monday I wanted it for tomorrow as it is the second half of my birthday present from my wife, the first one being the Meta Quest 3 :
Anyway, this weekend I will juggle between Resident Evil 2 Remake VR and Half-Life 2 VR. Those experiences are fantastic! And I love playing them in little bites! Instead of worrying about motion sickness, now I worry about Mr. X chasing me
I will also try Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon as I saw that it is hilarious!
And last but not least, The Last Faith A good mix of Blasphemous and Bloodborne
I am a simple gamer. I need those things to enjoy a game:
1. Is the game playable even if it has frame rate stutters? 2. Can I finish the game without any post launch patches (just from the physical media IF it has one)?
This weekend will be exciting for me as I entered the world of VR, and my first experience was to find a way to conquer motion sickness And I can gladly say that now I can play with smooth movement without wanting to puke!
So, I am playing one of my favorite games EVER Half-Life 2 but in VR! I am about to enter the buggy section of the game! Short sessions in VR is the key to enjoyment!
In the meantime, I will continue with Resident Evil Village and Skyward Sword
@Olliemar28 Absolutely agree that it should be rare, and this collection deserves it, as those games were previously exclusive on a touchpad handhelds and are now tweaked a bit for EVERYONE to enjoy!
PS: I am overzealous Castlevania fan, but you already know that
I have started the Darksiders franchise again, so Darksiders Warmastered edition is first. Currently I am in the Iron Canopy making my way to Silitha. My plan is to beat all 4 Darksiders games on the Switch
I will continue my last playthrough of Resident Evil Village, this time on the PS5.
And a little dash of retro nostalgia with Faxanadu on the NES. This is one of the best hidden gems in gaming
I am once again thrown in the Souls pit. I started Dark Souls 1 again and I just beat Ornstein and Smough. Why are these games so damn good?!
The games I decided to play if master Miyazaki lets me are: Pokemon HeartGold (Totodile is chosen and ready to destroy some gyms!), Project Warlock AND after MANY delays the Claire A/Leon B run in Resident Evil 2 (N64)!
Yesterday I finally got Blasphemous 2 for the PS5. I already finished it on the Switch, but it is so good that I will 100% it on PS5 as well. The sculpture I made of the Penitent One completes my Collector's Edition
And on the side, I will play Kingdoms of Amalur, and I will start as a mage.
If there is time AND mood, I will continue my playthrough of Singularity which is a TRUE hidden gem! I highly recommend it!
@TYRANACLES I have only watched it and I must say I love the aesthetics of the game! It looks like Bloodborne from the N64 era
@Pastellioli I bought it from an online art store It is 30 pages, toned 275GSM paper and this drawing is just one of the 30 in it I love Alexander and I decided to dedicate a page just for him (it is not a cover art). I drew it with alcohol markers
@JohnnyMind It is a nice 3DS game. The 3D effect is there but it is not something immersive. Also, the opponent likes to talk about his/her every move, just like in the anime And it is not that expensive for a 3DS game I would recommend it to every Yu-Gi-Oh! fan.
Still my favorites are Legacy of the Duelist, GX Duel Academy for the GBA and World Tournament 2006 again for the GBA
Another week consumed by Elden Ring Finally started Shadow of the Erdtree and it is fantastic! The DLC alone is better than many Fully-fledged games out there
If my time permits (which is doubt) I will play some Nightmare Reaper and Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal
@Joeynator3000 Agree. I can even go further by saying that they benefit from non-profit projects and fan art as they could use it to their advantage. Basically, free ideas and designs.
Some of them even better than the original ones That is why some companies allow mods!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (12th October)
So, this spooky weekend I will start with Castlevania Order of Ecclesia
I will play some Resident Evil 4 Remake and also continue my playthrough of Echoes of Wisdom!
Happy gaming everyone!!!
Re: Feature: 10 Years Ago, Nintendo Launched The Very Best 3DS
Fantastic device I love all of the 3DS variants

Re: Saudi Public Investment Fund Considering Increasing Its Stake In Nintendo
Still better than Sweet Baby Inc.
I am sure that they will not do anything to the gaming industry. They just want a good return on their investments. Money is money.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (5th October)
This weekend the main thing is The Legend of Zelda Echoes of Wisdom! It is fantastic!!!
I am also getting addicted to Majesty 2 again and I managed to run it on the Steam Deck!
And I still did not finish Half-Life 2 and Resident Evil 2 on the VR.
In HL2 I am about to escape Nova Prospect and in RE2 I am in the sewers with Leon
Happy gaming everyone!!!
Re: Poll: Resident Evil 6 Turns 12 - Does It Really Deserve Its Dire Reputation?
Terrible RE game. I was not a fan of RE5 as well but compared to 6 it is a masterpiece!
The only saving grace is the first half of Leon's campaign.
Also, the RE6 logo is a giraffe forcing a human to do naughty sexual things!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (28th September)
@CazSonOfCaz I am playing Half-Life 2 VR not Alyx I waiting for Alyx, Skyrim VR and Fallout 4 VR to be discounted
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (28th September)
@Rockboy247 Actually Quest 3S is ready for pre-order and it is a lite version of the Quest 3. Really budget friendly at 299$ for the 128GB version.
It is not as good as the Quest 3, but many people are hyped for it, and it is a HUGE upgrade over the Quest 2!

Re: Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom's Frame Rate Is "Even Worse" Than Link's Awakening
I am a simple gamer. I need those things to enjoy a game:
1. Is the game playable even if it has frame rate stutters?
2. Can I finish the game without any post launch patches (just from the physical media IF it has one)?
This is it Those are my tech requirements
Re: Review: The Legend Of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom (Switch) - A Bold Blend Of Old & New That Ranks With The Series' Best
My copy will arrive on Friday
I loved Link's Awakening so I am sure I will love this too!
Re: Blasphemous 2 Expansion 'Mea Culpa' Detailed Ahead Of October Release

Re: Light The Beacons! 'Tales Of The Shire' Gets Cosy On Switch In March 2025
This looks like a game made with the Facebook avatars. In other words ... ugly!

Re: SNK Announces ACA NEOGEO Selection Vol. 1 And Vol. 2 For Switch
Why no Magician Lord?
Re: Review: Castlevania Dominus Collection (Switch) - The Strongest Konami Compilation Yet
@Antraxx777 Yes, the 4 levels are reused but they have different atmosphere about them.
So, I agree to disagree
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (31st August)
This weekend I will pick up Resident Evil 8 Village again.
Some Castlevania Aria of Sorrow will also be played yet again!
And for some retro vibes StarCraft 64 and Resident Evil 3 Nemesis!
Have a nice weekend everyone!
Re: Review: Castlevania Dominus Collection (Switch) - The Strongest Konami Compilation Yet
@Serpenterror Sony paid for SotN and Rondo re-releases and they want it only on their consoles. This is the sad truth
Re: Review: Castlevania Dominus Collection (Switch) - The Strongest Konami Compilation Yet
@Olliemar28 Absolutely agree that it should be rare, and this collection deserves it, as those games were previously exclusive on a touchpad handhelds and are now tweaked a bit for EVERYONE to enjoy!
PS: I am overzealous Castlevania fan, but you already know that
Re: Review: Castlevania Dominus Collection (Switch) - The Strongest Konami Compilation Yet
It should've been a 10! Are you telling me that IF OG Haunted was NOT in there and ONLY the Revisited version it would have been a 10?
Come on
Re: Castlevania Dominus Collection Physical Release Confirmed, Pre-Orders Open Next Month
@EarthboundBenjy Something must've happened on the way because I received my Ultimate edition months ago!
Open a ticket immediately!
Re: Castlevania Dominus Collection Physical Release Confirmed, Pre-Orders Open Next Month
Ecclesia cover for PS5.
And for the Switch I think that they will give us ALL of the covers in the Collector's Edition like in the previous releases!
Re: 'Castlevania Dominus Collection' Brings Three DS Classics To Switch Today
Waiting for the inevitable LRG release. I want another Castlevania Ultimate edition!!!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (24th August)
@Tasuki If you do not mind, please let me know, when you try Horn of the Abyss, and tell me if you liked it
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (24th August)
@Tasuki WoW and HoMM should be considered highly addictive drugs!
Still I love them both!!!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (24th August)
I will have a nice relaxing gaming weekend with:
1. Heroes of Might and Magic 3 Horn of the Abyss on the Steam Deck
2. Machinarium - such a wonderful point and click adventure
3. Post game web swinging in Spider-Man 2!
Happy gaming everyone!!!
Re: Blasphemous Dev Reveals New Tactical Stealth Adventure For Switch
@Pipulitoch The regular retail version HAS a download available for it.
Fixed the phrasing because reading it people might think that you can't play the game if you do not download the patch.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (17th August)
After Darksiders 1 and I am steadily progressing in Darksiders 2! Currently on a hunt for dead lords that went rogue!
Short bursts of Baldur's Gate 3, still feels weird to play that game when I have played so little of 1 and 2.
More short bursts of Painkiller as I absolute LOVE the atmosphere of the levels!!!
And finally, just a small game time dedicated to Pokemon FireRed in memory of Rachael Lillis.
Happy gaming everyone!!!
Re: Random: Donkey Kong Country 3 Fan Creates Incredible Epoxy Resin Statue

Re: Rachael Lillis, Voice Actor For Pokémon's Misty And Jessie, Has Passed Away

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (10th August)
@Grail_Quest yes it is one really special game

Re: DOOM Is Getting A New And Improved Definitive Release On Super Nintendo
I have the SNES PAL release, but I am interested in this however I do not have a US console
Re: DOOM Anthology Revealed For Switch - Includes Six Games And Replica BFG, Pre-Orders Now Live
I have ALL of the DooM games on physical cartridges for the Switch so that is of NO interest to me.
The BFG replica is cool
Re: Round Up: Every Nintendo Reveal And More At THQ Nordic's 2024 Showcase
I am hyped for Titan Quest II! I loved the first one. And I see they have included 2-handing weapons!
More Darksiders is always good!
Gothic Remake looks amazing as well!
I was hoping for a port of Sacred 2 Ice & Blood
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (3rd August)
@Yousef- Thank you! Steam Deck FTW!!!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (3rd August)
@Yalloo Thank you! It turned out it is a nice tradition here and in PS
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (3rd August)
This weekend I will relax with some Heroes of Might and Magic V on the Steam Deck. I love all HoMM games, so it is a hard choice to pick just one
I will beat couple of bosses in one of my saves in Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow for the 1000th time It is Castlevania after all!
And finally, I will continue my playthrough in Blasphemous 2 on the PS5
Happy gaming everyone!!!

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Gargoyle's Quest II: The Demon Darkness
The JP one is a mess. You have to look closely to see what is happening. My vote went for the NA/EU.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (20th July)

Re: Video: Mojang Reveals What Goes Into Making A Minecraft Painting
I do not get the Minecraft hate. This game is special. It is creative and wonderfully relaxing.
Is it the graphics? Graphics are a low priority for true gamers.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (13th July)
@CRB1984 I was banned and that is why I was late. And I was a little angry about it so let's leave it at that
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (13th July)
Pokemon Leaf Green as I have not yet finished it.
Starting new run in Bioshock 1 and I will try Super Mario 64.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (6th July)
@Pastellioli Aren't oil pastels messy? And you have the chance to smudge your art or they dry and become solid?
