itâs good, it has the same essential 8-bitness to its design that it refuses to complicate that fire emblem does (when fire emblem is actually good) and excellent PS2 flat shading and fixed perspectives.
the dungeon design and pacing are occasionally pointlessly unpleasant but otherwise firing on all cylinders for its time and place

I would love to see David Crane and Garry Kitchen do something a little more modern. Crane especially.

This is what I said seventeen years ago when I saw this:
Raidouâs dialogue font wasnât as chunky. This looks more like an extra bold Matisse by Fontworks.

Old font dlc letâs go
hoping this doesnât turn out like when Wizards schedules and announces a banned and restricted list update for X date and then it turns out the update is âno change to the banned and restricted listâ

Is there an actual reliable source for this that doesnât look like a weird content farm made to game Google because I couldnât find one?
I donât think itâs unlikely but I donât automatically believe news from websites that look like they were made with a template anyone could setup within 5 minutes

jimâs not wrong from a brain-in-a-box-whose-only-sensory-input-is-user-data sense
But Sonyâs had twenty years of penny-foolish pound-wise investment in classy games to build a Playstation brand and culture and they ought to have a formula in their budget to place platform investments.
Further the move to game pass and Netflix-style libraries pumps value back into the b-tier and older games. Theyâre always hungry for âcontentâ to hit every niche and nostalgia plays are pretty successful to say the least. Sonyâs sitting on 25 years of history to bind people to a Playstation Plus subscription that theyâre not using. (and honestly, if they were doing this, youâd expect them to hold their old party line until they reveal a library of classic titles, available today! and turn on a dime)

It is utterly ridiculous that out of the three console platforms, Xbox is the one that has the most available and preserved back catalog. How good of a loss leader can Crimson Skies and Panzer Dragoon Orta be?
This list could be embarrassed by even a fraction of first party PS1/PS2 games.
And unlike Switch Online, Game Pass is nearly complete like getting every first party Genesis game on a disc for $20 in 2009.
I understand why â Microsoft has the engineers and the monomaniacal focus on Game Pass. But a PS1/PS2 emulator is a potential killer app/service and totally feasible on the PS5 as evidenced by the Xbox Series S. Sony could probably afford to pay off Square and Konami off the subscription fees with their clout.
That Game Pass review of Nier Automata I posted is sticking with me because itâs a shift in how people decide to try games out. I canât imagine someone who isnât already aware of Automataâs deal just giving it a shot unless itâs part of a rotating library with no additional cost. I think itâs holding the medium up to require collecting disc-based games/consoles or getting comfortable downloading ISOs, though the latter is obviously noble.

and Microsoft found itself without first-party or exclusive content and at least five years before it built back internal studios (thanks Phil) so this was a thing they could throw money at
Itâs so hard for big companies to adapt to what everyone can see coming because it almost always involves risking your success; but you find yourself barely scraping by like Xbox was in 2015 and doing something becomes a lot more appealing.
