Was given 007 First Light Specialist Edition (PS5) for father's day. Hoping it's fun.

After a decade of dashed hopes for Twilight Princess HD getting ported to Switch, I think I've given up on it.
Still, Ocarina of Time Remake should be a good thing. Needing more info and to see it in action but it could be the tipping point for me buying the family a Switch 2.
As dumb as it sounds, the Sports Resort looked like fun nostalgia as well.

I expected nothing and got 3. Better than the Sony show by leaps and bounds.
1. Last Ronin - I've wanted a dark and gritty TMNT game since the PS2 days. Really looking forward to this.
2. Final Fantasy 7: Revelation - I'll finally be able to complete the story.
3. RE: Veronica - I'm interested but hesitant given modern times and the villain. How badly will this get butchered?
Finally... a slew of games to look forward too.

I don't get excited for gaming anymore. Wolverine looks like it'll be ok. Tomb Raider being delayed kinda sucks, but we know the story. I played the Onimusha demo. It plays like Onimusha which is good. Not sure about $70 per game anymore but I'll probably pick some of these up after a price drop.

Modern Video Games / Re: Third expansion for The Witcher 3 in 2027

I'm on board with it. I completely associate the Witcher with Geralt, which it why I'm not really looking forward to Witcher 4. I'd much rather hold off and get the Witcher 1 remake.

Add another title of interest to the Switch 2 list. That makes two. 3-5 more get announced with those games fully on the cartridge and I'll consider purchasing.
1. Hyrule Warriors: AoI
2. Star Fox

General / Re: Do you still prefer physical games or digital?
« on: April 27, 2026, 02:45:25 pm »Seems Sony has implemented a rule on new digital purchases...oddly...the very rule that Microsoft implemented causing so much backlash that propelled the PS4's sales. That new rule is that once every 30 days, your Playstation must connect to PSN to verify your keycodes, or your digital games will brick. My understanding is previously purchased digital games will remain unaffected.
So, this means the end of me buying any digital only games.
Congrats on adding yet another reason to not buy a PS6, Sony.
what if you connect in say 80 days since you haven't touched the game in a while I'd assume it's still playable than since it's probably gotto connect to the internet per 30 days to keep the code active. but there is no time limit in which when you do so if you play it much later on.
You have to think long term. Let's say you pull your digital PS5 out of storage in 10 years. For whatever reason the nic card in it is toast but you still have your favorite single player games installed. You won't be able to play them.

I find I'm not really anticipating buying anything any time soon. My next game will more than likely be a random grab I don't foresee.

Going to add a prediction for the future of gaming.
With prices skyrocketing out of the grasp of the general population, I don't see any company making a return on what they put in after this generation. That leads me to two possible outcomes.
1. The industry crashes and crashes hard. With all the layoffs that have occurred over the last couple years, it's possible we're already in the midst of it, but somehow it was slow rolled.
2. With next hardware already well into developement and planned releases impending, I expect the next gen will be the last for physical hardware. As an example, if PS6 launches at $1000 as many are speculating (obviously we won't know till it happens), then expect a massive drop off in userbase. This will force Sony to take the Microsoft approach and switch to a more SaaS ideal, where Playstation will be streamed like Netflix. Playstation Plus will become Playstation, replacing hardware entirely as the masses wouldn't be able to afford hardware from here on.

Absolutely. If given the option, I'll opt towards the physical edition. The only time this doesn't apply is when you're buying a physical game but the actual game data isn't on the disc or cart. This hits hardest in the newest Nintendo gen with Switch 2 having game key carts instead of game carts on quite a few of their titles.

Modern Video Games / Re: Report: PS6 2029 | Switch 2 price increase soon?
« on: March 30, 2026, 06:54:28 pm »
Sony adding another log on the fire of why people shouldn't buy the next Playstation. It's been one thing after the next with them for PS5. This is the first console gen where prices have increased instead of gone down. This same time frame in the PS4's lifespan had it available for $200 on sale with Spiderman bundled in.

General / Re: Older consoles or handhelds that you regret sleeping on when they were modern
« on: March 24, 2026, 07:49:51 pm »Sega was far more a part of my upbringing than Nintendo.
Same. I started off with an NES, but quickly moved to Game Gear and then Genesis until the PS1 released. I skipped Saturn and by the time Dreamcast released, I was old enough to buy my own systems and did just that, owning every system from that gen, though the Xbox (OG) was only for about a month.
