@Spyroescape We are in the comments section for an article on a gaming website. People are going to state their opinions, and doing so doesn't mean they aren't doing other things with their lives.
@R-Soub Yeah, as much as I enjoy my PS5, there isn't really a need for one just yet. Just be sure to claim your monthly PS5 games for PS+ by using the PS Store on a computer, as that way you'll have a bunch of PS5 games ready to play when you do get one, and you can't claim them via PS4.
These look great, though obviously hard to tell until it's seen in motion, I'm very optimistic that this will perform well on PS4 based on WWS's and GG's track record. I'll obviously be playing on PS5, but I'm glad PS4 owners will be able to play this with minimal compromise.
@AllenSnyder The Ultimate Edition was £25 for Clubcard members at Tesco a couple of weeks ago, but the best way to play Miles Morales is still to borrow it from a friend.
@thefourfoldroot They hired Aaron a couple of months ago for precisely the reason of boosting their video profile and output, so I'd expect more of this.
I think he's doing a really good job too, and this topic is the kind of niche thing that many Playstation fans care about and will find useful down the line but wouldn't likely be covered by other outlets, so I really appreciate it!
@Quintumply I had no idea they had a Trello board but having now checked it out, that's really great. I would personally not have a problem with MM taking their time but as a longtime PlayStation fan I have this ingrained anxiety from Sony shutting down some of my favourite studios despite relative financial and critical success (Sony Liverpool, Evolution etc.).
I think that may be where a lot the fan desire for Dreams to become 'a hit' stems from. It may well be that Dreams is meant to be more of a game with a small dedicated community, a cult hit that more than adequately satisfies a particular type of gamer, and I would be happy to let it be that, but concern over Sony's ambitions and expectations creates this urge for it to expand in more mainstream ways, to get multiplayer, add a ranking system, grab a bit of the 'Fall Guys', 'Among Us' Roblox' crowd with a few viral games and youtuber attention.
I believe Media Molecule have built something more than capable of accommodating that, and early last year it did garner some promising internet attention, though it was fleeting. At the core I just hope for the continuation of Media Molecule and all that they do. They are one of my favourite teams and, in my opinion, one of the best and most daring, creative developers around.
@Quintumply Honestly, as an long time dreams advocate and fan, the fact that the game still doesn't have multiplayer is massively stunting it's growth. They'll need to do a soft re-launch when they finally add it so that it doesn't just fly under the radar, and they'll need to have some in house multiplayer games ready to go.
@velio84 We're getting a crazy Q1 with Elden Ring in January, Horizon in February and GT7 in March. Considering Forspoken is scheduled for Spring, I could imagine it coming right afterwards and God of War not long after that. We got it good!
@KundaliniRising333 Yeah it's quite funny that Demons Souls out-shines everything, even From Software's latest. I know that's to be expected with this being a massive open world but even without considering that, I think it just shows how ahead of the curve Bluepoint are.
I picked up the Directors Cut upgrade for Death Stranding, so I've restarted that. I've also dipped back into Call of Duty WWII. I never finished the single player story for either of them, so I'm enjoying playing doing that on both. They pair nicely for switching between slower paced exploration and fast paced action.
@get2sammyb Honestly, while this is a PlayStation centric site, I do still want to hear about major stories concerning other platforms. It's not like each console lives in isolation of one another, each move one first party company makes affects the others. Imagine not covering the Bethesda Buyout because it wasn't technically 'PlayStation' news. So thanks for covering this and other topics like it.
@Matroska While I'm not phased by games coming to PS4 as well as PS5, I do agree with a lot of what you've said. This doesn't compare to the great Sony conferences of last gen, but one of those feels more needed now than they did even then.
I'm sure this will be great and the last game was one of my faves, but I would by lying if I said I didn't get just a few worrying feelings with this. The fact that it's a new director and not Cory, that they showed so much of the story in the trailer while showing nothing new gameplay wise and with it being the last Nordic game...I'm getting slight Game of Thrones Season 7/8 vibes where they wanted to wrap it up asap to move onto something they're more excited about.
Really hope I'm worrying for nothing, it still looks great!
Uncharted is my favourite Playstation franchise and I've been waiting for these two games to be patched with 60fps on PS5 more than any others since November, but if they're gonna put that behind a paywall without offering anything much else I think I'm going to have to pass this up on principle. I really hate this practice of minimal effort for maximum cost.
@UltimateOtaku91 I think by that rule we're still in the Far Cry 3.X range. That didn't bother me with Far Cry 4, it was a great example of how more of the same is sometimes great. Far Cry 5 however really grated on me, even though I could still enjoy much of the gameplay.
Oh awesome, I hope it delivers an authentic McDonalds experience like using the speaker to play the sounds of screaming children and minimum wage staff being berated.
