Re: Sony Announces Gigantic PS5 Price Increases, Effective from April 2026

Seems to only be in Europe and US, where they are already dominating the market. Unfortunately everything gets more expensive. Hopefully coming november the world economy gets some time to breathe and things will slowly go back to normal.

That said, i don't see the PS6 coming in the coming years. Game consoles will be to expensive. All three will not be able to keep the price down unfortunately.

Re: If You're Playing Final Fantasy Games on PS5, There's a Good Chance You're Old

Doesnt this count for every major franchise though. When i look at my three kids, wich are aged between 4-10 years,all they want to play is roblox and fortnite. Because all their friends are playing that. The only game they played next to it was astro bot. No matter how hard i push towards other games, there's no use. I even tried to get them to play FF VII rebirth, they think it looks good but consider a dad game. They played for 10 minuten and were done with it.

This is also with the other franchises such as Mario. They think the movie is fun, but they don't care about the games.

Imo this looks too good to be true. And reading some comments of what is used it's seems this is tech that won't be afordable for the next 20 years. It does look very impressive, especially the environment. Grace looks completely different but Leon on the other hand. But still i have serious doubts wether this is actually all really true.

Re: Sony Goes Silent on Social Media as Fans Turn Feral Following Bluepoint Closure

@Dalamar i still think they should. It's a studio that would fit Sony perfectly. It will also be great for Sony animation. It will actually add a great IP and a studio that adds somehthing the Playstation brand they don't have yet. Bluepoint was a panic buy because at the time MS was buying alot of studios. Even though it was a great studio, Bluepoint add anything extra to Playstation and why they were mainly a support team. If you look at past purchases you will see they really looked for something that will add to the Playstation brand instead of panic buying.

So yeah, if they want to add the Kena developers to Playstation studios i'm all for it, because they will add a much needed genre of games and potential IP that Playstation neede.

Re: Opinion: Sony's Disgraceful Bluepoint Closure Should Concern Every PS Studios Fan

Great piece Sammy. I'm one of the guys looking at this less emotionally i think. I think Bluepoint were great developers and they made great remakes, the were a supporting studio after they were bought. Most of the staff seem to be going to be placed at other Playstation studios. So it's not a total loss at that.

Who knows why they bought Bluepoint in the first place. To me, the recent acquisitions, seemed like panic buys. Playstation used to ge really selective to wich studio they bought. All added somehthing new in the catalog. Didnt look like Bluepoint were bought to make more remakes, so Who knows why they are being shut down.

As for Hulst. It's not even sure it was his choice to close Bluepoint. At the end of the day he is just a pawn and the messenger for upper management. I used to be in a leading role, and was occasionally put on the spot to deliver bad news, whether or not i agreed with the management or not. I'm not defending the guy, but please think about that he might only be the messenger this time.

I understand alot are mad at Hulst, but don't forget that Hideaki Nishino is also in charge, and more then Hulst. He might want Playstation to go in another direction. Looking at the last state of play it possibly shows wich way.

As much as i hate to see Bluepoint go, nobody knows the reasons why the studio gets closed. They were a support studio more then anything since they got bought, seems like alot of staff is going to other playstation studio's to keep doing what they already were doing.

Re: Sony Makes Shocking Decision to Shut Down Bluepoint Games

1UP-HUSKY

Don't know what to think of this. Bluepoint does make great remakes, maybe they are not that great at new IP, who knows. But still, Playstation has enough unused IP that can have remakes though, hopefully they can all be placed inside the other Playstation studios so the talent is not lost.

Re: Despite Big Multiformat Push, Square Enix's Acclaimed New Visual Novel Will Skip PS5

@darylb24 they are funding and supporting the Kena sequel, That's different then paying for timed exclusivity. And to be fair, it's something Nintendo has done since they started and MS since the original xbox.
I do agree timed exclusivity should stop by all three. But i see no wrong in funding games, many games might have not been made if either Sony, Nintendo or MS payed to get the game made

Re: Poll: What's Your Reaction to Horizon Hunters Gathering?

1UP-HUSKY

Gameplay looks fun, the environment and machines look great. The characters don't look bad but it looks to simular to other games in the same category, not a deal breaker though. But i can imagine alot of gamers might think, seen that, done that and give it a pass. Looking forward to try the game, to see if it's something for me.

Re: Resident Evil Requiem Sounds Like a Proper PS5 Pro Showpiece

@Fiendish-Beaver i bought my pro last september after alot of internal debates with myself, and i'm happy i did. Now i must say i already needed to expand my storage size so that was a extra benefit that came with buying a pro.

Wether or not it's with it for you depends on wether you want to play the games in the best way. Most games run and look better on it especially the upcoming games. I replay most of my games regulary, and now with the pro it makes replaying them even more fun because they will look better.
