Maybe people will start realizing that this is a running theme with Sony: make a big splash and all their media sycophants/twitter losers will run for years with the lie, never making anywhere near the splash when the truth comes out. We literally saw the same thing for years with No Man’s Sky; yes, the game is great now, but it’s insane how many literal, bold-faced lies Sean Murray spun about the game (multiplayer being completely absent from the game for at least two years almost, if I recall) while Sony was happy to bankroll the game and parade the game over three years’ worth of E3s…
When you add up all these examples of Sony-adjacent deference, it’s impossible to argue that the bias is perceived and not actual reality.
How do people who prefer “action combat” feel about this “hybrid” system, where you can beat on enemies and then switch to turn based on the fly? Would it get you to dip your toes in turn based or would you rather it just commit to one of them?
People who browse my JRPG thread will know how much I love “The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak (Kuro no Kiseki)” which had nearly this -exact- gameplay style a few years ago. I already made a comment about this there but seeing this clip really shows that Atlus was clearly inspired by that game I’d say. An Atlus take on one of my favorite games of the 2020s so far… Can’t say I expected that but yes please give me it! Both this and Kuro no Kiseki 3 will be Fall 2024 so it’ll be a buffet for me then!
Just a clip of Kuro no Kiseki combat I took last year to show how similar they are
It’s such a significant change (Haptics, Gyro, Speaker, Modular Thumbsticks, Rechargeable & Direct to Cloud) that I will hold off buying any controller until then.
If they want to announce the Sebile & Sebile Elite together that would be awesome.
Personally though I think back paddles should be standard on all controllers not just the elite.
