That will be its own Direct/announcement video sometime in the next few months. I'm expecting another fall reveal like the Switch had in 2016.
Sounds like a you issue. There's still tons of games left to play on it and coming out this year/early 2025, and judging by the hardware sales, people aren't done buying it.

Maybe this means Mega Man 64 is around the corner, too. Would be a fun addition on top of these.
15 minute gameplay trailer on June 11th, so a release date can't be far behind or it'll be at the end. Probably going with a 2025 Q1 or Q2 release.
This game has been in development for six years dating back to 2018, and already got cancelled once before that. The budget on this thing must be huge to have been going on that long. There's no way this lives up to any expectations given the timeframe and how far BioWare fell off after Mass Effect 3.
This just in: There are multiple concerns and topics that can happen at once of various levels of importance.
How is Xbox manipulative but PlayStation isn't? It's either all or none, no in-between.
Not surprised in the slightest. This is the same company that was sued for removing features from the PS3 after you bought the system, so misleading consumers again is par for the course. I won't be surprised if they get sued for this, too.
How? It's missing a boatload of features, and you need the adapter, a PSVR 2, and a good enough PC to run this. That market is super small, especially considering that same group most likely already has a PS5, which brings the total price of everything combined to the $1700-2000 range ($60 adapter + $400/500 PS5 + $550 PSVR 2 + $650-1000+ PC). That's a niche market at best, miniscule market at worst.
Interesting, though $60 is already high on top of the $550 for the headset, so this is purely for those who happen to have a PS5, PSVR 2, and a PC capable of handling VR (which is a very small group). With all those features unavailable, and the cost of other headsets that are better value, I don't see many getting this quite honestly.
The console hasn't gone down in price from $400 and $500, games cost $70 in the US (and even more in other regions), and there's less AAA games coming out year-over-year. Not to mention how prices of everything have gone up while pay has been stagnant.
This is a recipe for what we're seeing.
I'd much rather have 1440p/60fps or even 45fps. Having just one, even with the Series S in mind, is disappointing.
When you boil down the layouts/configurations, it's 38 tracks. Of those, only 19 are real-life tracks. That's a pretty low amount when there's hundreds of thousands of circuits that are available to add.
That was something that dawned on me after thinking about this for a bit. Can't imagine consumers will be pleased with buying a device that will be immediately inferior to a different product that's less than a year after the Portal came out.
They saw Nintendo crushing them (and entirely swallowing up the Japanese market), as well as the Steam Deck's success along with an ever rising portable/mobile market, and they panicked. I don't see this selling well, especially because the Switch 2 is reportedly performing at PS4 levels when handheld and PS4 Pro when docked (plus upscaling), and that'll most certainly be cheaper and backwards compatible (with GameCube/Wii backwards compatibility most certainly being adding combin...
The market for games like this is too over saturated to make a dent in other established games' player counts. Trying to start all over with a whole new multiplayer meta and grinding to get better is not feasible when there's already a ton of similar games that have come out before it.
Mods/admins, I'm curious about something. Why is this account allowed to continue to submit articles? They submit only from Gaming Bolt, which makes me believe this account is one of their writers or staff. That feels like something that should have a rule against it.
They released 18 Final Fantasy games or expansions in a four-year period, with at least six of them being related to Final Fantasy VII (this includes mobile and remakes).
That is entirely too many games and dilutes the brand.
I hope they realize this before they lose most of their momentum. The best reception they've gotten as of late has been Astro Boy's reveal trailer.
The whole FF XVI and FFVII Pt. 2 sales issue should also show them that people are starting to turn away from massive AAA titles compared to even just three years ago. Diversify your offerings, give every type of player reasons to buy your system. Nintendo has been doing that for the entire Switch lifecycle and it's ...
