As a day one PS5 owner, I suggest you should wait. However, at the end of the day it's your choice.

PhantomArtifice (58898520)

After three years, finally! Couldn't be happier, so glad they finally got in.

PhantomArtifice (55343350)

I had this happen with my Miles platinum and was super frustrated, but luckily it just randomly showed up and fixed itself a few hours later.

PhantomArtifice (53670001)

All I want is Rex & Pyra/Mythra, but I doubt Nintendo would announce them at TGA. Expecting 3rd party.

PhantomArtifice (53380642)

Very excited for this, looking really good.

PhantomArtifice (53380159)

Elden Ring. Smash DLC as well.

PhantomArtifice (53098356)

wow

PhantomArtifice (52860099)

Play it after you beat the main game. You will get out of Torna this way.

PhantomArtifice (46326893)

Best of luck y’all, hope you all snag one.

PhantomArtifice (52435193)

Awesome news.

PhantomArtifice (52072997)

Yes there is going to be a Dynamic 60FPS Performance Mode. Similar to what is found in Miles Morales, Spider-Man Remastered, and Demon’s Souls.

PhantomArtifice (51711794)

Try inserting the disc upside down.

PhantomArtifice (51651263)

Holy shiiit this is a massive leak. RE4 VR would be crazy. Rise going to PC is very interesting as well.

PhantomArtifice (51340168)

Feels like a no-brainer for Sony, I won’t be surprised at all.

PhantomArtifice (51124738)

Wow, this is looking absolutely incredible. Huge congrats on the launch, cannot wait to dive in! You all are amazing, thank you so much.

PhantomArtifice (50947483)

Tomorrow.

PhantomArtifice (50706172)

Hell yeah! So unbelievably happy this finally hit 2 million. Was stuck at 1.91 forever.

PhantomArtifice (49695751)

I think it’s definitely a possibility in the future.

PhantomArtifice (49559254)

Makes a ton of sense.

PhantomArtifice (49046200)

PhantomArtifice (46176005)

Arkane, MachineGames, Zenimax Online, Bethesda Game Studios, iD Software, Tango Gameworks, Alpha Dog, and Roundhouse.

PhantomArtifice (46943714)

So considering the Series S has a 512GB SSD, we’re looking at around ~330GB of storage for an all digital console? Yikes, you’re going to need more storage incredibly fast.

PhantomArtifice (46576544)

Looking amazing, cannot wait.

PhantomArtifice (46534355)

Definitely better than trying to transition everyone to the sequel.

PhantomArtifice (46534283)

Ignore the teraflops, simply put you’re looking at a console outputting 4k and one outputting 1080p (or 1440p in some cases).

PhantomArtifice (46450100)

Oh wow this looks awesome

PhantomArtifice (46487663)

It’s about getting in their ecosystem, that’s all they want, regardless of whether you play on PC or Xbox.

PhantomArtifice (46325051)

Wish they just ported the collection, but this is better than nothing I guess.

PhantomArtifice (46325837)

Microsoft will be acquiring the United States.

PhantomArtifice (46376951)

Lol

PhantomArtifice (46373942)

This generation is going to be crazy.

PhantomArtifice (46326734)

Microsoft will also announce they are acquiring Japan at TGS, cannot believe they did it!

PhantomArtifice (46311941)

Lol

PhantomArtifice (46213982)

They’re absolutely the king of Western RPGs now. Really crazy how massive they’ve grown in the past 4 years, huge props to Phil Spencer and Microsoft. I’m very excited to see how this generation pans out for them, and I’ll definitely be there to support on Steam.

PhantomArtifice (46207223)

Biggest Western RPG publisher easily now, actually crazy how stacked it is.

PhantomArtifice (46158881)

Holy. Shit.

PhantomArtifice (46020182)

XVI

PhantomArtifice (45881066)

Jim Ryan has been talking a lot lately, huh?

PhantomArtifice (45776030)

RE Engine is phenomenal. Insane optimization and graphical fidelity. All for it.

PhantomArtifice (45727943)

haha.....ha.....h

PhantomArtifice (45579944)

Well, I'm not getting a PS5 for a while then.

PhantomArtifice (45574805)

This will be a PC cop if it really is coming, that's incredibly exciting if so

PhantomArtifice (45663794)

It really sucks, but it was inevitable. I think as a result, I’m going to be waiting on a lot more games to drop in price now instead of hopping on them day one.

PhantomArtifice (45566477)

actually insane. Maaan I might have to buy in now

PhantomArtifice (45592385)

Nope. Delaying the purchase to Fall 2021 or really before God of War 2.

PhantomArtifice (45558620)

Knew it, nice pricing

PhantomArtifice (45560594)

HORIZON AND THIS NEXT YEAR? my god

PhantomArtifice (45580544)

And there we go.

PhantomArtifice (45541706)

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

PhantomArtifice (45465275)

Soooooo good

PhantomArtifice (45465797)

MEGALOVANIAAAA WOOO

PhantomArtifice (45464513)

Save the World was jaw dropping man, what an orchestration. Absolutely beautiful

PhantomArtifice (45463130)

This has been amazing so far, glad I was able to catch this.

PhantomArtifice (45284036)

Lol. Evergreen title, lots of new Switch buyers picking this up.

PhantomArtifice (45120542)

Sticking with my original prediction still - $499/$399.

PhantomArtifice (45116288)

Nice.

PhantomArtifice (45121187)

Oh yeah. I remember switching to 144hz, was blown out of the water.

PhantomArtifice (45022385)

Lol

PhantomArtifice (45021062)

Tiger Woods PGA Tour.... ah those were the good days.

PhantomArtifice (44983748)

For sure. If I didn't have a PC, I'd absolutely cop a Series S as a Game Pass machine alone.

PhantomArtifice (45042029)

Ahh, good point.

PhantomArtifice (45039569)

Why the extravagance? This is ridiculous to have to individually list each game.

PhantomArtifice (44796794)

Wow that’s mighty impressive.

PhantomArtifice (44724515)

All Stars and Hyrule Warriors.

PhantomArtifice (44640896)

Very nice.

PhantomArtifice (44568107)

Wow that's crazy, can't say I'm surprised though.

PhantomArtifice (44609306)

oh boy

PhantomArtifice (44568983)

Galaxy and 3D World.

PhantomArtifice (44568665)

Love this game so much.

PhantomArtifice (44570138)

They decided to go one 3D Mario game per generation. (64, Sunshine for Gamecube, Galaxy for Wii, 3D World for Wii U). Really strange how they like completely disregarded it in the Medley compilation trailer they released though.

PhantomArtifice (44570300)

-Skyward Sword HD (Standalone release, 3D World style) -Twilight Princess/Wind Waker in one collection I doubt this we will get OoT and MM released as a collection though, more or less expecting them to get the N64 Online treatment.

PhantomArtifice (44568536)

No lol

PhantomArtifice (44569040)

I think it's going to be Sony this time around.

PhantomArtifice (44493341)

I'm jumping from a RTX 2060 Super to a RTX 3080, no questions asked. That performance is absolutely incredible.

PhantomArtifice (44529938)

Not surprised, makes a ton of sense.

PhantomArtifice (44493221)

Ended up going Physical, will be nice to have this on the shelf.

PhantomArtifice (44433359)

PhantomArtifice (44432594)

3060 will be in that $299-$349 price range, so I'd expect that to fill mid range.

PhantomArtifice (44432705)

Absolute incredible technology, it is mind blowing how well it works.

PhantomArtifice (44432840)

Definitely not, I just have been lacking desire to play recently. After playing through massive JRPGs back to back to back, I've just been playing some smaller titles lately. THPS just came out today, we've got coming soon. Cyberpunk, Crash 4, Miles Morales, etc all within the next 2 months.

PhantomArtifice (44382437)

It’s not a Ubisoft game if it doesn’t leak!

PhantomArtifice (44382113)

10 Million+ would be my bet.

PhantomArtifice (44289671)

Xenoblade X

PhantomArtifice (44229539)

XSX

PhantomArtifice (43962953)

LMAOO

PhantomArtifice (43962860)

It’s really not that hard to make accounts like these, we’ve seen this with the F-ZERO and Perfect Dark ones previously.

PhantomArtifice (43774775)

This is what we like to see.

PhantomArtifice (43774712)

Not surprising at all considering Halo 5 had a plethora of cosmetics

PhantomArtifice (43779965)

As much as I hate to say this, I miss E3. Everything being in one week was so much better.

PhantomArtifice (43693634)

this looks amazing

PhantomArtifice (43600469)

!

PhantomArtifice (42736428)

Seeing those reviews was a nice thing to wake up to, congrats to Asobo and Xbox! Cannot wait to dive in tomorrow.

PhantomArtifice (42856755)

awesome. Can’t wait to play once it finishes installing

PhantomArtifice (42740907)

Nice to see Nintendo announce this, should be a fun one. The storm of comments under the post is ridiculous as always lol

PhantomArtifice (32135283)

I've been playing Final Fantasy VII Remake still, but I've also started a replay of Final Fantasy VII on Steam. Going to replay though Crisis Core and Final Fantasy VIII after.

PhantomArtifice (39626854)

Yeah, that's realistic. Hope you enjoy your build!

PhantomArtifice (41821113)

Incredibly disappointing. After seeing how well Death Stranding ran, was expecting HZD to at least run well, but wow I was wrong. Feels like this was tossed aside and Sony doesn't even care, Guerrilla was the only one promoting this. Makes me worried about future PC ports, maybe sales will change their mind. Hope this gets fixed real soon, it's really unacceptable this was botched as much as it is. If they knew it was this bad, they should have delayed it.

PhantomArtifice (42078240)

Wow... Virtuos lol

PhantomArtifice (37608343)

Oh wow, this is super interesting. Very excited for the future.

PhantomArtifice (41963577)

As of now - no. And will it get announced? I doubt it. Nothing official has been announced, so unless Sony says something disregard any "confirmations". Miles Morales is its own thing, and while I could see a bundle for like a deluxe edition, I highly doubt they'll bundle them for $60.PS5 exclusive, will not be headed to PS4.

PhantomArtifice (41944788)

After like 10 minutes of constant crashing, finally got the game to run. Was worried, but I'm getting a solid 90FPS at 1080p Ultra, with VSync off. Still, I'm the minority it seems so I really hope they iron out these issues quick, disappointed that there are so many.

PhantomArtifice (41756571)

Was really excited for this, but seems that there's a lot of performance problems unfortunately. Death Stranding blew me right out of the water, it was an absolutely incredible port done the right way. Sucks that this doesn't seem to be the same level of quality port wise, but hopefully it can be fixed with patches. I wish this had DLSS 2.0 support as well, Decima worked with it amazingly in DS.

PhantomArtifice (41763336)

3 months and 10 days later, over 33% of Switch owners have Animal Crossing: New Horizons in their library. What the hell man, what a beast.

PhantomArtifice (41757645)

Very unfortunate the port is a mess. Looking forward to your analysis though.

PhantomArtifice (40983555)

Finally.

PhantomArtifice (40938417)

Oooo, this might be part of tomorrow's presentation with Geoff if the Indie dev is indeed Studio MDHR. If it is MDHR, hope we get some news about The Delicious Last Course.

PhantomArtifice (40173933)

Yeah I really don’t know what the hell they’re doing anymore, their communication has been baffling. I just don’t understand how holding their titles for this year is a good thing, like it’s quite the opposite.

PhantomArtifice (40802178)

I would absolutely go with PC, you’ve got a rock solid setup and with a 3000 series card you’ll be set. Every game at the Xbox Showcase will be on PC day one, and all future titles (unless specified) will as well. Plus, you said your friends are already in that ecosystem, which is a huge plus.

PhantomArtifice (40614762)

This is absolutely insane and looks amazing. Figured I'd hop on PSO2 and play tonight as this really got me hyped, but seems it's been deleted from my PC for like the third time... Really hoping that Steam release is soon

PhantomArtifice (40647747)

If multiplayer isn’t shipping day one, they absolutely should have delayed this.

PhantomArtifice (40650318)

Yes, but not only that.They more so care about everyone playing their games, regardless of platform. They’ll worry more about shifting everyone to Series X when exclusives start rolling out.

PhantomArtifice (40610751)

Steam

PhantomArtifice (40497267)

Nice, totally wasn't expecting that!

PhantomArtifice (40388181)

Please please please be good. This looks amazing.

PhantomArtifice (40363944)

Final Fantasy VII Remake for me.

PhantomArtifice (39790438)

Been an absolute blast so far, really cannot stress enough how amazing this looks with DLSS 2.0, it's absolutely incredible. Excited to hopefully get all of the Half-Life cosmetics soon, the Gravity Gloves seem super slick.

PhantomArtifice (40166922)

NINTENDO IS INSANE LMAOOO THANK YOU KELIOS

PhantomArtifice (40165365)

Bakugan 2 is going to be heat!

PhantomArtifice (40161531)

OT11 is here way quicker than I expected, woah now

PhantomArtifice (40078704)

Devil May Cry V.

PhantomArtifice (40079181)

Final Fantasy VII Remake Part II Anything MonolithSoft Cyberpunk 2077 Granblue Fantasy Re:Link Cyberpunk 2077 Tales of Arise Ys IX Trails of Cold Steel IV Final Fantasy XVI Elden Ring

PhantomArtifice (40079568)

So hard to pick one, but to name a few... -Final Fantasy VII -Metal Gear Solid -Breath of the Wild -Xenoblade 1/2 All seem to have been listed, haha

PhantomArtifice (39883284)

Ohhhhh man

PhantomArtifice (39711547)

Amazing stuff, never thought I'd see the day. Mine has been switching between Halo 3 and Death Stranding for the top banner all day, so surreal. We've seen Sea of Thieves and Persona 4 in the past month too, with HZD coming next month. Amazing time to be a PC Gamer.

PhantomArtifice (39644719)

My god the game looks unreal, thanks DLSS 2.0!

PhantomArtifice (39625054)

So excited for this, cannot wait to run this at 4K60 and play through it again.

PhantomArtifice (39624970)

Man this takes me back, feels amazing.

PhantomArtifice (39626800)

I'm guessing 87, that's what I'm feeling at the moment.

PhantomArtifice (39385075)

No, they're waiting until 2025 probably.

PhantomArtifice (39008731)

Holy cow that all looks amazing

PhantomArtifice (38912563)

Nope, will be picking up the games I want from Xbox via Steam or Game Pass.

PhantomArtifice (38470588)

Going off of usual reveals, expect either in 10 minutes or 2 hours.

PhantomArtifice (38469274)

I’ve got this feeling it’s Nintendo related for some reason, no idea why. Logically I think it could be WBI being bought, or maybe Persona related if it’s as big as they are making it seem.

PhantomArtifice (37594786)

Holy crap this thread.

PhantomArtifice (37431610)

Wild.

PhantomArtifice (38256157)

Ehh not really. I had a blast 100%ing Xenoblade, the Switch game I was most excited for honestly. Also spent lots of time with Animal Crossing, good stuff. Origami King looks pretty good, and the rest of the year seems to have some exciting titles such as the Mario Remasters, Pikmin 3 Deluxe, and 3D World. I'd bet we'll probably get one more title alongside those, but we'll see. I've been playing a lot on my Switch, splitting time between it and my PC as of late. While the first party releases aren't as wild and slammed as previous years so far, we've had some great titles this year already.

PhantomArtifice (38255899)

Even if these Twitter handles are fake (which at the moment I doubt due to the emails being tied and other circumstances), The Initiative has Perfect Dark in the works and Playground Games has Fable. I'm personally very excited to see them in action.

PhantomArtifice (38058100)

This sale is insane, my wallet is about to be empty lmao That is once I can actually load everything, as it's overloaded right now

PhantomArtifice (37872541)

NICE Heard Time to Fight and was so mad, but luckily it's not just Time to Fight, with Mechanical Rhythm and You Will Know Our Names in there too. Definitely playing for this theme.

PhantomArtifice (37431478)

Looks great! Seems perfect for VR.

PhantomArtifice (37764688)

Enjoyed the reveal a lot, such a stylish trailer. Min Min looks like a ton of fun to play. So excited to see who comes next.

PhantomArtifice (37667458)

Of course not, I never will.

PhantomArtifice (37604932)

I'd love to see NRS work with Marvel properties, but Ed is definitely trolling here. I mean the guy is notoriously known for doing so, it's quite obvious.

PhantomArtifice (37635565)

Titanfall 2 on top, amazing. Currently at 8,500 players right now on Steam alone, MP is really active, makes me so happy.

PhantomArtifice (37594510)

Ryu.

PhantomArtifice (37608763)

Interesting, thanks for the find!

PhantomArtifice (37609258)

Ehh tough one but I'll say Xemnas, closely followed by Master Xehanort.

PhantomArtifice (37594351)

Indeed.

PhantomArtifice (37498324)

Biff is the best choice.

PhantomArtifice (37499047)

Love to see it, this game is a masterpiece and I'm so glad it's surging right now. Had hardly any wait times when I played MP yesterday. Also, seems the game is #2 (#1 game, only Index is in front) on the Global Top Sellers, which just makes me so happy.

PhantomArtifice (37499344)

Prowler!

PhantomArtifice (37433716)

Won't be surprised, but I have *some* hope it will hit November with what we learned about where the game is at today.

PhantomArtifice (37191667)

Still can't get over the fact that the sequel or game following KH3 is a rhythm game, Nomura is a mad man. Nonetheless, I'm quite excited for this. Seems to be packed with songs and I'm all for it.

PhantomArtifice (37445677)

I honestly really just miss the schedule. One week where was there, you weren't thinking "Oh, I wonder when we'll see this" all the time throughout the course of the 3 months that are the Summer of Gaming.

PhantomArtifice (37432279)

Now THAT'S exciting.

PhantomArtifice (37114102)

Game of the Year.

PhantomArtifice (37042744)

EA is actually learning, wow. Love to see it. If this looks enticing I will definitely pick it up on Steam.

PhantomArtifice (37019614)

Well now, that’s very exciting. Thank you SEGA.

PhantomArtifice (36979201)

Awesome stuff, you love to see it. Hopefully this gives Atlus the much needed shove to put more Persona titles on Steam.

PhantomArtifice (36530560)

Next week. Think we'll also see Sims 4 at that point.

PhantomArtifice (36530884)

ARMS character during the Sony Presentation with announcement of Smash to PS4, that's why it's now 2 hours long. Being serious though, I expect next week for ARMS.

PhantomArtifice (36531088)

I doubt it, but if we do get FFXVI, I expect just a logo at this point, game is not coming out for a long while.

PhantomArtifice (36258619)

I've got a NVIDIA RTX 2060 Super FE, mainly purchased because I planned on upgrading to the 3000 series relatively quickly and didn't want to make too too much of an investment. When the 3000 series drops, I'll be grabbing the RTX 3080 day one.

PhantomArtifice (36258427)

All I care about is launch titles. I won't be dipping into a PS5 until there's a game I want, price does not matter.

PhantomArtifice (35909604)

We shall see, exciting stuff!!

PhantomArtifice (35407446)

12 hours in, just entering Gaur Plains. Seriously having the time of my life with Xenoblade DE, unreal just how improved everything is from the original. I've done all the side quests up to this point, and they haven't seemed like a hassle, the new mechanics are phenomenal.

PhantomArtifice (35291847)

Enjoy it everyone, I'll be picking up my copy tomorrow morning. Unreal we're finally here after 268 days, memories are already flowing and I don't even have the game yet.

PhantomArtifice (35227074)

Damn....

PhantomArtifice (35237181)

Third Person Shooter with a multiplayer focus.

PhantomArtifice (35156292)

Oooo exciting!

PhantomArtifice (34926729)

Spent a good amount of time with this, really have enjoyed it a lot! Looks really good and plays great on the Switch.

PhantomArtifice (35086959)

XCDE deserves to beat its predecessor’s MC score of 92 with how much they’re fixing/adding, but generally reviews on JRPGs are much more strict nowadays, so I’m torn. From what we’ve seen, I think this deserves a 93-94, but I’m expecting it to review around 88-91.

PhantomArtifice (35087340)

Yeah it sucks honestly. Modern day reviewing of JRPGs is so much different now, and even though it deserves to beat that 92 I doubt it will.

PhantomArtifice (35058099)

I do miss having everything announced during one week for sure. Surprise reveals too. At least we're still getting news, hopefully it's more unified next year after this pandemic has calmed down, but we will see.

PhantomArtifice (35050032)

Back when I had Gamepass, stuff like this happened all the time. Now own Halo MCC and KI on Steam, so much easier. Hope they fix Windows Store at some point.

PhantomArtifice (35086647)

Straight to part 2. Spin-off stories can be made once the full game has been remade.

PhantomArtifice (35059626)

Seems they really only care about mobile these days outside of PES. Their other IPs are just being licensed at this point.

PhantomArtifice (35010246)

Injustice 2 and MK11 are great, NRS makes great stuff.

PhantomArtifice (35009727)

Absolutely. I just picked up the Aftermath Collection tonight, have been holding off for this. Of course we're probably getting another Kombat Pack after this though, so I'll probably wait for a sale on that pass personally.

PhantomArtifice (35009748)

Disregard this, apologies.

PhantomArtifice (34926882)

Pretty excited for this title, I watched the previews from GameXplain & GoNintendo and it looks very promising! Definitely will be picking this up at launch.

PhantomArtifice (35010138)

Wow I was not expecting that, looks amazing.

PhantomArtifice (35008260)

It's the Unreal Engine 5 tech demo, must be true!1!1

PhantomArtifice (35009418)

Absolutely stunning.

PhantomArtifice (35008362)

Square, their output was ridiculous. Nintendo wasn't too far behind though.

PhantomArtifice (35008614)

Will never understand it, and its sales are honestly is part of the reason we're probably not getting a Titanfall 3 anytime soon. Such a good game, I wish more people got to experience it.

PhantomArtifice (34955421)

Oh my this thread.

PhantomArtifice (34929555)

Breath of the Wild and Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Would throw NieR: Automata up there as well.

PhantomArtifice (34950147)

Both are amazing experiences, you really can’t go wrong here. FF7R will go on sale at some point unlike Xenoblade, so I would dip into Xenoblade first. You’re going to be diving into one of the best JRPGs of all time, with an amazing cast, story, soundtrack, and fun combat system.

PhantomArtifice (34929240)

Wow, nice deal here.

PhantomArtifice (34900449)

I've listened to Engage the Enemy, Unfinished Battle, Mechanical Rhythm, You Will Know Our Names, and The One Who Gets In Our Way and man.... they really knocked this out of the park, bringing back so many memories of XC and making me so excited for Friday. Perfection improved. Won't be looking at any spoilers, just wanted to hear a bit of the soundtrack.

PhantomArtifice (34890447)

my GOD this sounds amazing

PhantomArtifice (34918941)

As much as I love her, yes they have to. Later events in the story depend on this event happening. Definitely can see them making her die at a different point or a different way though.

PhantomArtifice (34919154)

MPT is definitely happening sooner rather then later, but that date is absolutely not happening.

PhantomArtifice (34826511)

Absolutely lol

PhantomArtifice (34760442)

I loved her a lot in FF7R, they did a great job with her character.

PhantomArtifice (34696257)

I can't believe we'll all be playing this in one week, these look gorgeous.

PhantomArtifice (34402308)

1 is good, however I do feel that 3SE on Switch is much more appealing with the real time style switching and additional features not found anywhere else.

PhantomArtifice (34402218)

Unfortunate that this bug is here, but it definitely won't be an issue for the PC release of the game. So excited for that

PhantomArtifice (33825132)

Honestly I'm going to be pretty surprised if it doesn't surpass 90. It is improving the issues the original release had (which still got a 92 on MC). After preview events I feel I'll be able to solidify a personal prediction on the score, but with everything we know so far I really do think this might beat that.

PhantomArtifice (33812625)

Yeah anytime in that range I'd expect these previews to drop.

PhantomArtifice (32377929)

Tonight’s been a blast, I’ve been amazed seeing all of these screenshots. The whole cast looks absolutely phenomenal, truly been a trip down memory lane with all of these screenshots.

PhantomArtifice (32376165)

I am losing my mind, these screenshots look absolutely incredible. Everyone is so crisp and I can’t get over the lighting.

PhantomArtifice (31702644)

Yeah I'd suspect so. I think they'll give us something, could be a Direct, could be a final trailer, whatever. Following what they did with Xenoblade Chronicles 2, a Direct really isn't that far fetched, and personally I think it could give them a chance to sell the game to those unfamiliar with it while everything is going on in the world right now. Exciting stuff though, really excited to play this when it drops. Truthfully this was my most wanted Switch "port" or remaster of sorts, and MonolithSoft delivered in a huge way remaking it with a brand new epilogue.

PhantomArtifice (33855573)

As a Xenoblade fanatic all this info is like Christmas, losing my mind seeing all of this lol

PhantomArtifice (33856020)

Excited to try this out at some point. Won't be picking up at launch but definitely sometime in June/July. Looks pretty good!

PhantomArtifice (33260967)

Very interested to see Robocop's moveset, crazy that Terminator vs. Robocop will be a reality this month.

PhantomArtifice (31952808)

I loved the ending a lot, and I'm glad that they're making FF7R its own thing. The original is phenomenal, but in all honesty I'm so excited to see what they change and add to in FF7R-2 and beyond.

PhantomArtifice (33261330)

I luckily haven't had any drift somehow after very intense use of 3+ years, but sooo many people I know have had to send these in for repairs.

PhantomArtifice (32912454)

Wow this is crazy, super interesting to see.

PhantomArtifice (32852124)

WOW that 3080TI.

PhantomArtifice (32267676)

Final Fantasy XIV.

PhantomArtifice (31643250)

Soon enough.

PhantomArtifice (32028231)

Change was absolutely inevitable, there was no way this game was going to be 1:1 with Nomura at the helm. I’m honestly really happy with where this is going, I know a lot of people aren’t, but to me this is super exciting.

PhantomArtifice (32028750)

Yeah I totally understand where you’re coming from, I’m hoping the time travel shenanigans won’t be too prominent but I have my doubts. It’s definitely going to be divisive, I mean it already has been since FF7R launched, but personally I don’t see any side as wrong. No one has to feel a certain way, everyone is entitled to their own opinion on this.

PhantomArtifice (32209416)

Materia for sure.

PhantomArtifice (32136393)

It still holds up real well.

PhantomArtifice (32140167)

Very specific wording of "remake" and "remaster" makes me wonder. Honestly I'm going to guess this is a mistake, but who knows. It seems really likely we're getting the Anniversary Collection in some form though.

PhantomArtifice (32134818)

Yeah this was fun for 5 minutes lol

PhantomArtifice (32140347)

Balamb Garden for sure.

PhantomArtifice (32135571)

It's a very solid port. Picked it up at launch back in November of 2018, enjoyed a lot back when I played it.

PhantomArtifice (31713084)

Super excited to pick this up on PC when it drops, and I'm also very curious to see how the Switch port runs. I'm expecting it to be a quality port with it being in the hands of the folks over at Saber Interactive (Ported The Witcher III: Wild Hunt, also bringing World War Z, etc). I'm really excited to see CRYENGINE in action with their software based ray tracing, the demo they showed off last year with the drone in the city was insane.

PhantomArtifice (32123043)

Better melee combat. Also would like to see some more diversity in the enemies.

PhantomArtifice (32044236)

Nice deal.

PhantomArtifice (32042487)

Yeah it definitely cracked top three for me.

PhantomArtifice (32028576)

Yeah same, they’re both great. I luckily snagged my Smash pair and imported them back in November of 2018. Quite surprising that they are ending production of the standard Grey Joy-Con honestly, pretty interesting decision on Nintendo’s part. I won’t really be bothered by it though, as I’ve already got some and I’d much rather have colored Joy-Con, but still intriguing.

PhantomArtifice (32020431)

Yeah looks like Valve has given the all clear for the time being.

PhantomArtifice (32053278)

Oh MAN this is exciting.

PhantomArtifice (32025768)

OP you did a fantastic job covering it all. Truly a lot of innovation this generation.

PhantomArtifice (32008818)

I have a 512GB card I got on sale for really cheap a while back, works flawlessly. 256GB should be more than enough, and SanDisk makes great products. I’ve never had any issues after 3 Micro SD cards I’ve bought from them for Switch.

PhantomArtifice (32009097)

I enjoyed playing this back when it came out in August of 2017, really an underrated and overlooked game. The DK DLC was a nice full addition as well. Game sold pretty well too. I definitely can see it happening, Ubisoft has been quiet ever since Starlink. I feel they’ve got to have something up their sleeve.

PhantomArtifice (32011074)

8bitdo has a wireless adapter that works quite well.

PhantomArtifice (32025603)

I mean honestly I don’t really care, I’m just happy to have more characters coming. Sakurai and team will make all characters fun, and new content is new content. Sure third parties might be cooler at times, but after all Smash Bros. is a Nintendo series. If this does end up being the case, I’d really love to see Rex & Pyra/Mythra from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 get in.

PhantomArtifice (32018676)

That's unfortunate, sorry about that. I would try to get it replaced if it's still under warranty.

PhantomArtifice (32018283)

Absolutely insane. Even with estimates, the actual numbers definitely won't be that far off.

PhantomArtifice (31990956)

Really great effort, very impressive.

PhantomArtifice (31986282)

With good combat absolutely.

PhantomArtifice (31988394)

Launching at the same time on both PS4/Xbox One and PS5/Xbox Series X.

PhantomArtifice (31866198)

OP is really getting me excited to see this game.

PhantomArtifice (31864074)

Nice update here, the worlds feature is real neat! Unfortunate this is the last major content update, but hey we did get two packed updates.

PhantomArtifice (31987581)

Yeah this was wack, I remember everything seemingly going great with Battlefront II and they just never made a sequel.

PhantomArtifice (31988580)

Looks like reviews are generally positive, glad to hear. I'll be picking this up on sale most likely. Distracted with Final Fantasy VII Remake still, and Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition is coming out in just under a month.

PhantomArtifice (31990539)

Yikes. Interested to see Valve's approach.

PhantomArtifice (31979916)

Wow those ideal specs are quite intense, crazy stuff.

PhantomArtifice (31986183)

Looks fine, like the simple look.

PhantomArtifice (31947300)

Both.

PhantomArtifice (31960179)

I was so sure we were going to get Virgil DLC at The Game Awards last December, but honestly I don't think it's coming anytime soon if it does happen. Definitely feels like something we'd see next gen at this point.

PhantomArtifice (31960014)

Lite is very nice for handheld, personally think it feels better in the hand than the Switch. You don't have detachable Joy-Con, so with it all being one seamless body it's a very solid build.

PhantomArtifice (31960884)

For sure.

PhantomArtifice (31959879)

I've been using this ever since it released, actually been blown away. I personally have a Razer BlackWidow Elite for my desktop, which is quite audible when typing, but RTX Voice cancels out all of it. Used on Discord all weekend, works flawlessly. Props to NVIDIA, this is great stuff.

PhantomArtifice (31704018)

I'd probably say Jak or Ape Escape, though Dark Cloud or Syphon Filter would be awesome as well.

PhantomArtifice (31928301)

Reliability of source? I'd love for this to be real, but in all honesty I believe the Crash 4 Remake rumor before this. Any Crash is great, but I'm not believing some random dude on Twitter.

PhantomArtifice (31929498)

Honestly bad time to buy a GPU considering we're at the end of the generation. New cards will drop in August probably. I'd personally wait until then. I have a 2060 Super, which I only got because I got a really good deal on it. I'm definitely upgrading to the 3080 whenever it drops, but this is more than enough for now. You've got a 2070, it will be worth it to wait. That is more than powerful enough to run all the games releasing this year.

PhantomArtifice (31930029)

Glad this happened honestly, I'll be able to actually play it now. Currently have it pre-ordered already on Steam, but with Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition coming out 4 days before the original DS release date, was going to have to wait on playing it.

PhantomArtifice (31918725)

1 step forward, 3 steps back.

PhantomArtifice (31947861)

Xenogears and Metal Gear Solid for sure. Ape Escape would be cool as well.

PhantomArtifice (31930083)

Neat! Hoping this happens, I'd definitely be interested to try this out at some point.

PhantomArtifice (31946979)

Crazy to see Nintendo all of the sudden bring back ARMS and Splatoon 2 of sorts these past two months. Definitely will be participating in the Splatfest.

PhantomArtifice (31866009)

Yep.

PhantomArtifice (31839687)

Can't wait to pick this up, been waiting for Miku Switch for forever. Game looks fantastic, I really enjoyed the demo.

PhantomArtifice (31839966)

Got to say IX here. VI and XII are good as well.

PhantomArtifice (31844928)

Looking forward to picking this up and playing through it! Between this and the rumored 3D Mario Collection, seems we'll be playing a lot of 3D Mario this year. Of course this isn't definitive coming from Best Buy, but Nintendo bringing 3D World over to Switch was inevitable.

PhantomArtifice (31850706)

Absolutely. Pre-production in 2014 makes perfect sense, but full on production in 2014 seems a bit much and that was what I was referring to.

PhantomArtifice (31845015)

Large map?? Nope, this couldn't ever be true. I could never see Rockstar making a large map. Also I will say the recent rumor swirling saying Rockstar just started on GTA VI production is certainly fake, it's absolutely been in production for a while now. Back to this rumor though, I feel 2014 just might be pushing it a bit.

PhantomArtifice (31839468)

I fell off so much once FF7R came out lol Still playing FF7R even now, almost on my second playthrough

PhantomArtifice (31767186)

May is gonna be great, crazy to think we're almost there.

PhantomArtifice (31643427)

This is rough. My lobby (which absolutely needs to be reimagined lol) crashed and I got into 0 matches. Will be trying to play again tomorrow, let's hope it's fixed by then. Of course this is a beta, these are just first impressions. At this point with the feedback ArcSys will be receiving, I'm expecting Guilty Gear Strive to be delayed to next year.

PhantomArtifice (31767489)

A sequel to Bloodborne or Sekiro would be super cool to see. Demon Souls 2 would be nice as well.

PhantomArtifice (31767006)

Both were awesome, I think I liked VII just a bit more though as we kind of knew RE2 was coming.

PhantomArtifice (31703316)

At least a year, probably two. I've got quite a few to play through on Steam. Surprisingly, I have literally none on my Switch, as I've actually kept up on there, and on my PS4 I've probably only got 2 or 3 games left? I've got quite a few lengthy JRPGs left on Steam, so that is what I've been working on as of late.

PhantomArtifice (31689150)

P6. Don't see them making P3 Remake anytime relatively soon.

PhantomArtifice (31702866)

Honestly, I think all TTYD really needs is an HD remaster.

PhantomArtifice (31715319)

Absolutely agree.

PhantomArtifice (31707975)

Thinking we'll see most if not all of the remaining party members in FF7R-2. Could see a specific character or two be pushed to part 3 though. But being real, who knows. With this story becoming it's own thing, Square has the power to bring in any character wherever and whenever. It will be very interesting to see, but I'm pretty confident most of them will be incorporated into the next game. Also worth noting - I don't expect Vincent or Yuffie being optional this time around. Square will probably take this opportunity to flesh out their characters and stories, which will be incorporated into the story in some way or form.

PhantomArtifice (31703835)

Final Fantasy VI or Final Fantasy VIII.

PhantomArtifice (31707723)

Yeah I doubt it as well, just thought I'd throw it out there. Also an Octopath style remake would make a lot of sense for it if Square were to decide to do anything with FFVI. That would absolutely be the most they do with FFVI.

PhantomArtifice (31715223)

Oh man these replies are about to get insane

PhantomArtifice (31713258)

I've cleared 5 from my backlog, as well as beating DOOM Eternal and Final Fantasy VII Remake. I'm not sure if I will be getting back to my backlog anytime soon though, as all I want to play right now is FF7R lol

PhantomArtifice (31643778)

I personally wouldn't lump all of these characteristics under the term "JRPG" as there are absolutely games in the genre without these elements, but these are elements of Japanese gaming and anime, which therefore do pop up in some JRPGs.

PhantomArtifice (31644579)

Let's be real - I highly doubt they would be talking about this much of the game in a Zoom meeting. This is a massive amount of information, I don't see it. Fun read but yeah I don't believe this for a second.

PhantomArtifice (31643178)

I'd say most recently the entirety of Final Fantasy VII Remake lol

PhantomArtifice (30573926)

Hoping we'll get it ported to Switch although it's incredibly unlikely... Such a good game, the exploration was insane

PhantomArtifice (30561047)

I imagine we’ll see Part 2 or whatever Square titles it release in 2022/Early 2023. I would’ve just said 2022, but with the global pandemic occurring right now I just don’t see Square being able to push it out sooner than that. I truly do think it depends on how much they end up adding though. They can reuse some assets from Final Fantasy VII Remake, but there will definitely be a ton of new ones of course. I read somewhere earlier this week that almost all of the game’s environments are individual assets, hardly any were reused. It definitely will be interesting to see, but regardless I’m truly excited for this next part (and Friday of course).

PhantomArtifice (30581405)

nah I feel ever since VII the franchise has been really refreshing, excited for RE8 in the near future

PhantomArtifice (30583841)

I'm expecting we'll see some reviewers get very nostalgic and blame the game for "not being a full game" (even though it is a fully fleshed out experience), so I'm guessing Final Fantasy VII Remake will land somewhere in the 90-93 range. If I had to be specific, I'll guess 93.

PhantomArtifice (30560771)

I can see either two or three, depends on how much they want to add. Can’t wait for Friday, unreal the five year wait is almost over.

PhantomArtifice (30418524)

They really did that... lol should have expected this

PhantomArtifice (30400915)

Yeah I definitely agree. New Horizons came out at the perfect time, I've sank almost 75 hours into it as of today. It's been great to get away and just relax playing the game, had no idea I'd enjoy it this much.

PhantomArtifice (30400987)

I am so so excited to see what this announcement is. I'm sure it's going to be absolutely phenomenal, they're talking like this very very "Platinum" and as a Platinum mega fan I can't wait. It's gotta be a really big project. It's definitely not Bayonetta 3 though, that's Nintendo's announcement, and will almost definitely be saved for a Direct or something of the sort.

PhantomArtifice (30368764)

Ended up going with Switch over PC. Have a PS4 too but that was out of the question. Switch feels right. I'm really excited to dive into this.

PhantomArtifice (30234884)

If we're talking bigger, absolutely Master Chief Collection running natively. Portable Halo on Switch would be absolutely mind blowing and would drive sales. If we're talking what I'd personally want, definitely the Rareware Collection, as those are games I particularly really enjoy, and I'd love to get the chance to play them again on Switch.

PhantomArtifice (30234401)

I feel bad for those who seriously read into #3... lol

PhantomArtifice (30234148)

I'm really not going to be surprised if we indeed do see a Direct shadow dropped or announced to be airing mere hours later. This would be such a Nintendo thing to do, something no one expects. Jeff is insanely confident, and I don't think he would be unless it's really solid. We'll see, interested to see how tomorrow plays out. Worst case we'll have to wait a week or two for the Direct, but hey - it's coming soon.

PhantomArtifice (30234479)

Yep exactly. He's not a random anon behind the screen, we're talking about a reputation that will stick with him for good. With his confidence he's got to have some solid leads from his three sources, so we will see! Hoping it works out for him (and us).

PhantomArtifice (30234276)

Yeah agreed. With how confident Jeff is, there's no denying that March 26th was the date at some point. It could easily air anytime within the next few weeks, and with the investors' meeting on May 7th they've got plenty of time.

PhantomArtifice (30289439)

The Nomura Curse. Man can’t catch a break. Looks like it’s time to mute words on Twitter!
