The upcoming PlayStation 5 Slim has started to appear online, and with that comes fresh information about how the optional disc drive will work with the Digital Edition of the console.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "The Karate Kid: Street Rumble is just alright. There’s nothing terrible about it, and there’s nothing that makes it truly stand out. Even if its gameplay is floaty, it is so damn easy you won’t even care about it. It’s full of content related to the first three movies in the franchise, but it doesn’t properly follow the trilogy’s “from zero to hero” premise, making it feel less like a tie-in and more of a “what if” fanservicey fest than an accurate tie-in. Furthermore, it’s just okay as a beat ’em up. I had fun with it, sure, and I’m pretty confident die-hard fans of the franchise (and 80s pop culture in general) will have a blast with it, but there are better titles out there."
Square Enix says Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth fell below expectations, but it's a special game regardless
I love these two games, and no disrespect for the original which I played on my PS1 and several times since then, I would much rather play the remakes. The game play is just so much fun and the characters just have so much more life and personality plus it has the modern sensibilities that are hard to give up.
It's a shame that they haven't found the success SE wanted, and while people of course want to blame PlayStation I feel like Final Fantasy just doesn't have the effect it used to. Younger people have zero attachment to the series and have zero nostalgia.
And I still think that PlayStation will be the best selling platform by a long shot, FF16 on steam even at $50 isn't selling nearly as well as it did on PS5 where it sold 3.5 million in its first week. Looking at the numbers on Steam if the game has sold 1 million so far I'd be surprised.
It was everything I wanted from it to be honest. And part 3 will expand on that with airship travel. Hope Switch 2 is powerful enough for it, because that's where the sales are in Japan. It deserves success with the love that went into it.
I think over time, this endeavor will be worth the investment. Part 3 will release, along with the inevitable bundling of all three games on other consoles. I do think it's a mistake to not offer DLC this time around like with Intergrade, that would have been a nice additional revenue stream for SE.
The remake project is so frustrating. For everything they get right, they get something wrong, at least in opinion. I am ultimately glad I stuck with and played both games, but I can totally understand fans who bailed after all the horrible changes they have made to the original story. Still hope we see the combat director for remake give us his own take on the franchise in the future. Also really hope Nomura and Kitase retire after this project is over. They are way past their prime.
Why do you need a better PS5 when there aren’t any games that will utilise its power?
You technically don't "need" the ps5, ps4 or the ps3, lol. You don't need any videogame console, it isn't a necessity of life. If you want the best playstation console money can by, that would be the ps5 pro.
Why does a random remaster do that? There's going to be plenty of games that utilise it over the next 4 years. And plenty already released that will benefit from it. If you don't want one fine, but what's with all the nonsense bashing of it
Uhhh. I was going to write something but it's so tedious knowing that everybody will just rip me.
There are over 8500 games that use dynamic resolution scaling and struggle to hold fps that out of the box will utilize its power.
Games are already lined up for patches and more games that haven't been announced yet will use it.
But of course talking about what it actually does won't get as many clicks.
no
it adds to your opinion
it's doesn't prove anything
and even besides that, one game wouldn't prove that anyway
that's silly
A Free pass for me as its Sony & we are on N4G
get the original PS5 before its to late.
Be realistic. If you don’t have internet, you won’t buy the digital edition. This is a non-problem.
I assume that it's for the security key. Well, if it's a one-time online activation only, that is not that bad.
But given the negligible $50 price difference, it's frankly pointless to even consider the digital version when the traditional disc version is just a stone's throw away in cost.
hopefully this is only for the initial setup. Would be wild if the disc drive required internet connectivity to work at any given time.
