I think the controllers should hopefully last longer, especially the Edge since it's ridiculously expensive for a controller. And they're not limited in the same way that the consoles are.

I knew it was coming: https://blog.playstation.com/2024/09/19/celebrating-30-years-of-playstation-with-a-nostalgic-look/ Gorgeous PS1-style editions of the PS5 Pro with disc drive cover, PS Portal, DualSense and DualSense Edge. The console bundle comes with both controllers and PS1-style covers for ...

Slay the Spire has been interesting to try. I'm pretty late to the game, and might be one of the few finally convinced to play it by trying the board game with friends. I've successfully slain the spire once (Defect) and am trying out the final character. I will probably drop it given D:OS2 is pret...

Reviving this thread rather than posting a new one. Sony has revealed details on the new PS5 Pro. https://blog.playstation.com/2024/09/10/welcome-playstation-5-pro-the-most-visually-impressive-way-to-play-games-on-playstation/ Basically bigger GPU/more memory for faster rendering, better ray-tracing...

There were easy/brainded plats back in the PS3 days as well. It's interesting to see how they developed within a single series like Yak though. I agree about playing through a whole ass game twice, though. Nasty requirement for a trophy. I've done it a few times. It's not just Yak. I think plats fo...

But yeah, I think it's totally appropriate for them to have left the dungeons the way they were for those wanting that classic experience, but I sure didn't mind the more streamlined option. Even as someone who tries to keep an open mind to older design philosophies, I think I'm glad we've trended ...

08/05 - Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster (PS4 [NES]) Knocked out another pair of short games. Just can't seem to stop beating stuff. :) Enjoyable, unplanned pairing of highly influential Final games. Enjoyed 'em both a lot! I found one typo! "You can use any combination of the game’s four classes,...
