I'm really happy it's getting the Japanese dub - and hopefully subtitles! It's not for everyone but for me it seems more authentic to see JP characters talk in Japanese.

Overload3100d ago

This is a huge win for significant others.

Eonjay3099d ago

Reminds me of the massive wait for 3.33's localization. it that case the movie was dubbed but they had to do it over because the creators weren't satisfied with the initial translation. I loved how that turned out though so its worth it to get it right... although by the time we get 3.0+1.0 here in the West, realistically we may all be dead.

@Overload

But Persona 5 was going to be my significant other :,(

Sad about the delay, but I am hyped for those Japanese voices. Plus I would rather a delay then a bad experience.

Muzikguy3100d ago (Edited 3100d ago )

No way!! I've been looking more forward to this game every day. 😢 I do like those Japanese voices!

Oh well, I have so many right now it's crazy. Still a day 1! Maybe I'll get FFXV after all

Deadpooled3100d ago

Agony at the news or the awkward thumbnail?

Obscure_Observer3100d ago

Can´s say i´m surprised. Unfortunely :(

QUIMICOMORTAL3099d ago

Good! it wont have to compete with Horizon, Niho amd nier automata. It's in the game's best interests.

Greatness Dela.....*sigh* speaking the truth is.....Rushed Game would be forever ba....oh wait there's drive club...ah...I don't play racing games..... Thankfully SONY held back my purchase of a PS...3...4....Pro....5.....PS5 . Definetely PS5 where AAA JRPGs are revived, PS5 FFXV remastered bundled day one!!!

never4get3100d ago

@Igihara
precisely, SONY needs to get help. I have no reason to get a PS4/PS4PRO if there's so few AAA JRPGs !!!

GameBoyColor3100d ago

Uhh how is 3rd party jrpgs sony's fault?

Neonridr3100d ago

Holy crap.. wasn't that supposed to be a big holiday title for Sony?

DragonDDark3100d ago

Holiday? It was gonna release on February lol

Summons753100d ago

One could argue that Valentine's Day is a holiday lol

ShadowKnight3100d ago (Edited 3100d ago )

Just a two month delay? I'm find with that

MasterCornholio3100d ago

It is in Japan. But the western version was already delayed before.

Basically instead of releasing in February it releases in April.

UCForce3099d ago

More importantly, it was a smart move to delay. February has too many exclusive games. You got Horizon Zero Dawn and Nioh coming in 3 months.

Rimeskeem3100d ago

I think you missed something cause it was coming in February (the same month as Horizon)

Neonridr3099d ago

oh so I can get this game on a 3DS or Xbox One?

_-EDMIX-_3100d ago

? When?

This title for a while was known to be coming next year. I mean...Holiday for Japan, they already got it lol

Neonridr3099d ago

yep, I got confused.. game has been pushed around so much I missed the last delay that sent it into 2017.

ShottyatLaw3100d ago

Not in NA.

It was first set to release in late 2015, then pushed to Summer 2016, then late 2016 in Japan/February 2017 in NA. Now April in NA, already out in Japan. Pretty ridiculous delay history, really.

I'm hopeful that this release slot allows Sony to throw some marketing muscle and dollars behind it. I thought Horizon would overshadow it a bit too much. This series deserves mainstream attention.

Neonridr3099d ago (Edited 3099d ago )

ahh, thanks for clearing it up guys. Sorry, it has been delayed a few times, I didn't realize it was already pushed to 2017 in NA.

DragonDDark3100d ago

Well, we are getting japanese dubs so I'm kinda happy too but damn... 2014 #never4getty :(

Rimeskeem3100d ago

I mean, the good news Horizon will still be there.

Germany73100d ago

I'm really pissed, but Horizon and Nioh are coming in February too, no way Sony would release 3 exclusives in the same month.

franwex3100d ago

Well this isn't a Sony game, it's Sega...

Germany73100d ago

I didn't say it was a Sony's game, i said that it's exclusive for Playstation.

gangsta_red3100d ago

"no way Sony would release 3 exclusives in the same month."

But Sony wouldn't release it, Sega would. And Sony isn't releasing Nioh either so your statement makes no sense.

DragonDDark3100d ago

Nioh is being published by Sony so it kinda counts.

Germany73100d ago

I know that you as a MS fan doesn't understand about the concept of an exclusive game.

_-EDMIX-_3100d ago

Sell Sony doesn't own the IP, they are merely publishing.

Sony is known to publisher some smaller Japanese titles for some companies so I'm not sure I'd count that in such a theory. I mean...yes they would do that for THEIR OWN games, but not merely based on them publishing someone elses.

gangsta_red3099d ago (Edited 3099d ago )

@digitalraptor

"telling somebody that their comment makes "no sense"."

I realize that now, but does that still explain Persona? Or are we not going to mention that?

"Really funny seeing you being argumentative with only Sony fans yet again"

I do it just to see you get triggered and go into your fanatical frenzy that makes no sense in 3...2...1..

"The same absolutely hilariousness exists in seeing you flip-flop about the state of Japanese PS4 games whilst pretending to act balanced as usual."

Lmao...what!? It would be nice if I knew exactly what you were talking about.

gangsta_red3100d ago

I am a MS fan, but you seem to not understand that Sony is not releasing Persona, so why would you say Sony would release 3 exclusives as if Persona is included in that release from Sony.

If anything Sega/Atlas might have pushed it back because of the Nioh and Horizon...and the DLC Japanese voices.

UCForce3099d ago (Edited 3099d ago )

You should be happy about this, because release 3 exclusive games in one month. Because that won't help neither of these games. Remember Uncharted 4 was delay from April to May ? You know why ? Because Sony want to give Ratchet and Clank a spot light. Otherwise, it would kill Ratchet and Clank sales. Same goes with TitanFall 2, EA made a huge mistake to released this game between BF 1 and IW. And It Killed Titanfall 2 sales. It should delay to give it a spot light.

Personally, I'd rank Pacific Rift in my top 10. It's the best of the series.

badz14971d ago

We desperately need Motorstorm back. Evolution is no more though and this makes me sad

Cacabunga71d ago

Sly Thieves in Time
Stay the Party
Portal 2
Dj Hero
Demon’s Souls
God of war Ascension

rudero71d ago

2 of those games got railed through the “gaming media” during release.
Sly and god of war.
Both of which were fantastic games.

Cacabunga70d ago

Ascension is VERY underrated. Remake please!

Venoxn4g71d ago

Decent list.. I would put the Castle Crashers as well..

1Victor71d ago

Yes it’s a decent list of popular games with a heavy hand on FPS and no Warhawk or Starhawk 2 of the best games (not sale wise) on ps3.
I would buy a Starhawk again even if it didn’t have a graphics upgrade hell I would even take a new one with micro transactions 😱🤯

Profchaos71d ago

I've noticed a recent nostalgia for the PS3 and I don't get it for me it's been my least favourite generation to date and I've been gaming since the NES I just feel like the ambition of the developers outweighed the capabilities of the consoles so I remember lots of games running in the lower end of 20fps range and I remember for the first time ever actually disliking the duelshock 3 and it's curved triggers

Sure there were some standouts and great games but that's the only gen I switched entirely to PC gaming

darthv7271d ago

Maybe the recent nostalgia is because pretty much all of its games are trapped on that console. People want to play them on more modern hardware. hell... if XB can do it then so can Sony. there are competent emulators out there that can run on PS4/5 hardware but Sony just wont let them become official... why is that?

If we are talking least favorite generations (personally) then this one is certainly mine. i had more fun playing 8th, 7th and 6th gen stuff than 9th. And it isnt like i dont have access to do so... the heavy hitters just havent shown up anywhere close to those previous gens. The few here and there just doesnt cut it compared to the likes of constant good games that showed up in 6th, 7th and 8th gen. hell.... I'll even throw in 5th gen has been better than this one.

Profchaos71d ago

I tend to agree there's lots of amazing games locked to the PS3 like GTA IV or mgs 4 but then again my issue was never with the content the PS3 had but rather it's performance many other people have said the PS3 felt like it couldn't walk and chew bubblegum at the same time using PSN and downloading a game could take a few minutes to just start a download.

I typically don't worry all that much about performance I've never had a problem with games that run at 30 but games like crysis 2, Skyrim are good examples where the performance was so unstable you would never even touch the top of the frame cap and the hitching was worse than say Goldeneye on the n64

I think emulation is more than possible on the ps5 though it's just that Sony has no incentive to rush it's development it will likely be a ps6 feature if it ever happens at all.

But yeah the 9th gen has been so bad from a content perspective thats a given I see constant articles where people are frequently expressing their disappointment around the industry as a whole right now to much live service competition that sinks longstanding studios and consumes Devs time less ambition and games cost so much to make they have to play it safe.

The 5th gen was easily better than the 9th we had some all time greats crash, Spyro, Tony hawk, mgs, Mario,64, Goldeneye, Mario kart 64 the list goes on. The 5th gave us a new dimension and I remember being blown away by how much more open gaming had become the 4th gen with the mega drive and SNES was great and very easy to still revisit some of the greatest games of all time came out like earthbound, secret of mana, sonic , Mario world etc but saving our games was still not a standard function or a given so gaming was still evolving but it was very impressive to see some of the tricks Devs used like dithering to give us new experiences those earlier gens limitations bred innovation.

Michiel198971d ago

if XB can do it so can sony? I didn't know xbox had a cell processor in their older consoles, that's the reason why ps3 was so cool, but also the reason why games are hostage there and no, xbox did nothing similar even though their backward compatbility is good, they always had a similar architecture to their consoles.

darthv7270d ago

Sorry Michael... I guess you missed the obvious part where i said there are already emulators out that do this. and that is what XB is doing... emulators for OG and 360 games. Its why the full slate is not BC on XBO/Series.

coolbeans71d ago (Edited 71d ago )

The list is missing Folklore.
