Jesus. Watching that gameplay preview on top of the prior trailers, Forespoken feels like someone watched half an hour of Horizon Zero Dawn gameplay and then pitched something to a marketing team with the word "technology" replaced by "magic spells", along with a list of what they thought the marketable successful parts of HZD were.

I'm going to instantly bookmark the new thread and continue to read it all even though I haven't played my PS4 in ages and don't have a PS5.

Hope I can get a PS5 next year or whenever it has games lol

I MAY LOOK LIKE SHIT BUT IM ALSO DUMB AS FUCK



The combat/traversal part of Forspoken looks great, but I'm completely cold on the narrative trappings.

They showed a sort of sphere grid for the spells and there are like 100 spells, it's quite cool.

NES still got actual games 3 or 4 years after the SNES but not really. Full BC and diminishing returns on graphics has destroyed the concept of generations.

Like A Dragon: Ishin - Feb 21st release date in the West (22nd in Asian territories)
Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name - 2023 release date, game that explains what happened with Kiryu to fill in the gaps between 6-7-8. Will be about half the length of a normal Yakuza game.
Ryu Ga Gotoku 8 - 2024 release date, RPG, both Kiryu and Ichiban will be protagonists in it

To be fair you could entirely turn down the dialogue volume in Borderlands, and this was in fact extremely recommended

This is absolutely my fear. People not wanting to post at all and not speaking up. The PS4 thread had a lot of different posters and the start of this thread the same. Maybe it is the lack of PS5s and people feel they cannot post here if they only have a PS4 but that is not the case. Any Sony Console enjoyer and player of Games Available on Sony Consoles can post here in the Sony PlayStation Threads.

I want a refresh to encourage this. :hai:



I also want everyone to leave their beefs in this thread. You do not have to like every poster, you just have to post alongside them. You do not have to reply to every poster. You do not have to reply to anyone. If you wanted to just post into a void and never respond to anyone and just keep doing your thing here then do it. Just be funny and/or interesting.

Genuinely if you are tired of Too Much Yakuza, look into Judgement.

It's the exact same format as the earlier action Yakuza games, but with brand new cast that you don't need any info on previous characters going in.

Borderlands at least tries to have a consistent unique identity and it's down to individual taste if you wind up enjoying it or not.

Forespoken just feels... tepid. I'm hoping it's just a dud preview for an otherwise great game akin to HZD's leadup to release, but something's just not ringing true on this one and I can't quite place what.

Nah I've never been able to get into the series properly. Played Y0 and liked the characters and story well enough but hated the gameplay and wasnt interested in the substories. Tried Yak LAD hoping a change up in the gameplay would help but found it uninspiring. It's a good time to be a yakuza fan but I cant find that hook to become one

Not to this extent, the next-closest anomaly I can think of was something like Persona 4 on PS2, which released in like 2008 and was a full year after Sony stopped selling PS3s that could run PS2 games, so if you weren't an early PS3 adopter you had to have a PS2 for it, although those were available for like $129 new at the time and I think everyone still had one if they didn't specifically upgrade to a backwards compatible PS3.

I think the big difference now is all the tools for developing a game including the official Sony SDK and stuff like Unreal Engine make multi-generation and multi-platform development way easier than it's been in the past. As long as the game you're making isn't trying to do something that the PS4 explicitly can't do, like ray tracing or some form of game design that heavily leverages the SSD speed, it's trivial to make a PS4 and PS5 version of the same game. Like, it's not free, there's still some amount of work to put in, but you might only have to sell a few thousand copies to make it worth your while, and with the sheer number of PS4s out there it's a no-brainer and effectively guaranteed to sell some respectable number of copies that wouldn't have purchased a theoretical PS5-only version due to not having the PS5 to play it on, even in 2024.

Back in the day due to entirely different architectures you were largely reprogramming the entire game to make a multi-generational, and this was a lot of work to the point that it was very frequently outsourced, and it made for very quick plans to abandon ship once the new generation got underway, not to mention that more often than not the generational leap was enough to really transform games on a fundamental level, like you weren't back-porting GTA3 onto a PS1 no matter how badly you wanted to.
