I believe the original is just PS5 enhanced, similar to running it on a PS4 Pro. But it’s still a PS4 game running on the PS5.

I don’t know the ins and outs. But most games like that have an upgrade that makes them into actual PS5 games (like you can only play it through the SSD for example).

No

It seems more like a PS5 Upgrade which it never got before. AFAIK you can even upgrade for $10 if you have the original.

It’s not even a puzzle! It’s just waiting!

I’ve been play Theatrhythm Final Bar Line since beating Final Fantasy 16. Next I’m either playing Spider-Man Miles Morales or Stranger of Paradise.

Final Fantasy VIII, Half-Life 2, and Halo 4 were those games for me. Absolutely blew me away.

Yeah, I do love Morrowind. It’s one of my favorite games of all time. But I’m putting Skyrim, FO3, and FONV above Oblivion easily.

checks which game is “best”

This list is 100% accurate.

Hasn’t every other generation come with a price decrease and a bigger size reduction? This seems like it’s really just a new model.

The biggest upgrade is the SSD size. But digital is getting more expensive (but also has the disc drive option). Seems like it’s just not enough upside for anyone to get excited over compared to previous generations.

Infinite made me not care about the franchise. Which is impressive because I loved the franchise.

I had no idea. I think that pretty much explains the confusion then.

Why does it feel like every remake messes with lighting? As if making things brighter means it looks better. Halo CE is another that gets blasted for ruining the anesthetic of the original.

When I was a kid, it wasn’t entirely uncommon to get a big gift during a random holiday get-together.

But I think “holidays” is more of a generic retail term used to get people to buy more and feel less limited.

In the US, there are multiple holidays people get together for. Halloween (to a lesser degree), Thanksgiving, Christmas (or Hanukkah), New Years. Extended families will often get together multiple times for these and then not see each other again until the next year. Thanksgiving really kicks off the retail season with black Friday, but there’s also a lot of time off during the winter time from school and work.

It really is a season with Christmas at the center of it. A lot of our “Christmas” songs don’t even mention Christmas. It’s just songs about winter.

At least for the US, the price increase is just for digital version. And honestly, I’m certain the old digital had a profit margin hit in comparison to the disc drive version. It was probably worth it to lock people out of discs. This version will have a disc drive attachment option, so they’ve just given up on their all-digital endeavor.

Aside from that, $50 for 175 GB SSD isn’t a great value. The extra 175GB SSD is a significant increase. And for the disc version, that’s purely an upgrade.

Most of the extra size is from cooling. So it’s not surprising that someone could make it slimmer by messing with that.

It really feels like a FOMO relief for people who want to go all digital. Just in case you want to get discs later.

In other words, Sony wants you to buy digital and don’t worry so much about it.

Are you talking about the original Demon’s Souls? From what I’ve heard, there are so many QOL improvements they can’t really be treated as the same game.

Also, Ratchet and Clank made me happy to have a PS5 (at that time the PC release hadn’t been announced).

Still playing Final Fantasy XVI since release.

Getting to the end of it and I’ve really loved it. The Eikon abilities have really flourished throughout the game starting as supplemental to combat to being a cornerstone of combat.

Other than that, the story has been great as well as the subplots. I can’t express how happy I am with this game after the disaster of Final Fantasy XV and the all of the FFVII stuff.
