Does PS4 need more traditional RPGs?

Team OPM debate whether there’s a place for next-gen role-players. Should classic RPGs fade away or could PS4′s new tricks be somewhere they should flourish and enjoy a renaissance.

We need more RPG of any kind.

Pyrrhus3987d ago

If only we could have 1 rpg for every shooter....

Neixus3987d ago

we could use more western RPGs, games like dragon's dogma and demon soul's

TopDudeMan3987d ago

Uh, demon's souls and dragons dogma are both japan-made.

Neixus3987d ago (Edited 3987d ago )

i know, but they're catered for western people. and what's wrong with those games? DD and demon's souls are both games that focusing on gameplay, in comparison to skyrim for example.
Those games got the best combat in the RPG genre

TopDudeMan3987d ago

Yeah, I agree, they're both excellent games, but I was just pointing out that if they're made in Japan, they are JRPGs.

dafegamer3987d ago

Kinda Ironic, since Dragon's Dogma and Demon's Souls are made by Japanese Developers

Neixus3987d ago

the term JRPG doesn't mean where the game come from,jeez.

JRPGs = aka final fantasy, turn based combat.

Western RPG = Real time combat, more focus on action.

dafegamer3987d ago (Edited 3987d ago )

nope: JRPG= Japanese Role playing game
WRPG= Western Role playing game

Dragons Dogma and Demons Souls arent western role playing games, since they were made by japanese developers
edit: Monster Hunter is a jrpg and also has real time combat, so I dont get your point

rainslacker3986d ago

Can't we have more of both? I like both.:)

Final fantasy Should Be back to it's former Glory. get Rid of FF 13 etc etc. Sony and release the God Damn FF versus 13.

FF 12 >>>>>>> FF 13.

Persona 5 and Dragon Quest would be a pretty Sweet Deal for the PS4 :)

Pyrrhus3987d ago

Yea rename Versus to 15 (imo), then quickly get LR out of the gate so they can wash their hands off of the 13 franchise.

RiPPn3987d ago

Localize all the "Tales" games please!!!

wishingW3L3987d ago (Edited 3987d ago )

only Nino Kuni and FF13 has sold well, that's why there aren't many of them on consoles anymore. Jrpg's these days are just as bad as current anime because they only cater to moe fans and that stuff is not very popular with western gamers. So people only buy stuff like Demon's Souls which is not traditional in a Japanese kind of way.

I wish we'd get more games like FF6-7 and Xenogears in the sense that the story is a bit serious and the art-style is not just suggestive themes with girls on mini-skirts like: the new Atelier, the new Tales games or that new TLoH: Trails in the Flash... Final Fantasy Vesus is all I care about and that game's vaporware, and where's Persona 5? Catherine was good but not a Jrpg. Valkyria Chronicles was good but Sega killed it (not traditional though).

Don't mess with Atlus baby, They're Great. Just saying. You should Play a lot of Shin Megami Tensei games ;)

Fallout 4 is now available on next-gen consoles, but PS Plus users might be left disappointed

Fallout 4 is now available on next-gen consoles, offering 60fps gameplay and 4K resolution. But it's bad news if you claimed the game on PS Plus.

Probably won't happen for PS+ since Sony makes a clear distinction between a PS4 game and a PS5 game, unlike PC and Xbox where it is not a specific device game (It's now always an Xbox game).

So to make the PS5 game of fallout 4 available. Bethesda would need to renegotiate the complete deal with Sony.
hence why there's often only the PS4 version of the game available on PS+.

Let's hope Bethesda and Sony can arrive to term quickly.

In that same link, they talked to further support who said PS+ owners aren’t eligible. What a load of BS! The upgrade worked just fine for FF7R. I was looking forward to this. 😞

ChasterMies37m ago

PS5 upgrades for PS4 games on PS+ are hit and miss. The reason is usually that publisher doesn’t want to hand out free upgrades. Sometimes they offer the upgrade upfront, sometimes they are bullied into it, and sometimes they offer it later in a special edition that Sony buys for PS+. It looks here like Bethesda’s intent was to raise the profile of Fallout 4 (and sell some DLC) so I expect we will see an update for PS+ versions soon.

Mr Logic14m ago

Bethesda themselves acknowledged that Plus users are eligible. There is just some kind of glitch and they are working to fix it.

CobraKai4h ago

I think a hard copy should be relatively cheap at this point.

ocelot071h ago

Roughly a fiver for disc. It's also £3.99 on PSN right now for both PS4 and ps5 version.

P_Bomb1h ago

North America sale just ended. The timing for me absolutely blows.

Hofstaderman57m ago(Edited 57m ago)

So if I insert my ps4 disc I should get the upgrade?

anast37m ago

This article is funny. They tell you that $35 is a good deal for this game...We know whose side they are on.
