Modern Video Games / Re: It's officially over.

Something I just thought of today: If a PS5 game you want is releasing in the later half of 2027, you may want to buy it close to release instead of waiting for a price drop, because those games are going to wind up having very limited print runs and will likely be rare in the future. Here's hoping Resident Evil: Veronica gets a physical release at all.

I thought about this as well. I pray that game comes out in 2027 before physical discs go away. Speaking of, how does Sony manage to enforce no one releases physical discs when they've said all existing game discs will continue to work? That can't tell a third party like Capcom or EA, "you're not allowed to release your games physically!" Those companies can still make physical discs if they wanted to I'm assuming. This gives me some hope that maybe a few publishers will resist this crap and still make their games available as physical copies, although I'm sure most of them, especially the AAA's will gladly follow suit and use Sony as an excuse for why they didn't print discs. I hate this industry so much...

Unfortunately, third party publishers can't produce their own discs. I have experience with publishing physical PlayStation games, all PS4 and PS5 discs are produced and manufactured by Sony. So as a third party publisher you have to order the discs directly from them. Disc Label artwork must be submitted to them and they will produce and ship the discs to you. Game Inlay, Manual and Inserts can be produced outside of Sony but still require their approval before final production.

So ultimately if Sony decides to stop manufacturing the discs third party publishers can't sell packaged goods with a disc inside.

Haven't replied here in ages.. but it was good while it lasted. Definitely will still collect games and keep using VGCollect to archive them, just sad this day has finally come.

Looks like game key cards is the best option now, as sad as that sounds, lol.

I still use the main site functions to keep track of my collection and wishlist items, what games I want to play in the near future etc. I drop in about once a month to check the forums here to see what's going on from time to time. As others have mentioned, there are bigger communities out there now for game discussions and collecting as a hobby.

But in the end I still come back to use VGCollect's main site functions, which is the database for collection tracking.

Hi Jason, just to check, any plans to fix the "Currently Playing" tab to normal view?

It still displays as shelf view and can't be switched.

Thanks for the fix Jason, however the Currently Playing list still displays as shelf view. Possible to change the Currently Playing tab to the Normal view as well?

Much appreciated for the fixes Jason

Just noticed that the Collection View settings automatically changed to Shelf View? Same as 62gaming I have mine set to "Normal" but it's displaying as the Shelf view style. Anyway to switch back to the normal list view? A lot more easier to manage in the normal view

Thanks guys.

Thanks Jason!

I have a huge backlog, I guess I can start slowly adding them in on the games I haven't played yet. Thanks again for this feature, much appreciated

LRG just announced Chasm for the Switch and PS4. Excellent Metroidvania style game with charming pixel graphics, definitely gonna pick up the standard edition.

Really enjoyed playing it the first time around.

Does the game pause?  I know Souls games don't pause and that was a huge issue for me.

I remember they patched it in later, so yes I do believe you can pause the game, but not on multiplayer or summons

Dark Souls has some nods to King's Field, but it's not the same.

Definitely different, but inspired by.

I remember reading an article where Miyazaki said he's a big fan of the King's Field series and was inspired by them when creating Demon's and Dark Souls. He also mentioned that revisiting the King's Field series would be difficult since the original creator is no longer at the company and would be afraid he couldn't capture the creators vision.

I say, just bring him back for that project then, heh. He can oversee the art direction and what not, I believe From definitely has the funds to do so now.

Nioh 2 - Yep, getting my ass handed to me... Soo good though, feel alive playing games like this.

I need to play that, how is it?  Is it similar enough to Sekiro for instance, that if I loved Sekiro I might enjoy this game?

Combat wise yes, I would say Nioh is similar to Sekiro as the game heavily relies on offense, parrying and counters. And also similar to any Souls game or Sekiro your combat is affected by your stamina for attacking, blocking and evading.

It even shares the same concept as Shrines or Bonfires for resting, leveling up and resetting all the enemies, so definitely influenced by the souls series.

The only major difference with Nioh is the equipment, it's more of a Diablo style for rare drops and items with different rarities.

I would say if you enjoyed Sekiro or the Souls games definitely check out Nioh, the combat is intense, lots of different play styles and the boss fights are up there when challenge is concerned.
