The three game idea was realistically the only way they could do it justice and on a scope that people were wanting I.E. towns that looked like towns and not a few screens from the PS1 era. Yeah there's a fair bit of bloat in both games but that's more of an issue with AAA gaming rather then the game itself.
@Rog-X One swallow doesn't make a summer. Besides I've been able to get discounts on Plus through CDKeys and the like so it's not as if there aren't other ways.
@Yukairi Tbh I don't think the UI was designed with that in mind. Hence why every game has it's own background. I would love if the PS6 when that comes out brings a version of the PS3's XMB cos I loved at how customisable it was.
I'm hoping that Bungie stick to a narrower scope with Marathon. Destiny being an MMO meant it had to do so many things like story, PVP, raids etc. Whereas if they just focus on making a high quality extraction shooter then it has a decent chance of being successful.
@RoomWithaMoose Mario Kart will be big of course and DK looks great but a Kirby racing game is an odd one next MK and a third Hyrule Warriors game is fine but not up to the hype levels that people might have hoped for.
PlayStation basically made a free pack in game that showcased the system you bought and it was so beloved that they made a sequel that became the definitive game of the year for 2024. In other words Sony out Nintendoed, Nintendo.
Switch 2 will be a big success no doubt but the lack of an interesting lineup compared the first 9 months of the previous console means it feels less of a must have system. Plus the high price for games isn't going to sit well with Nintendo's casual/more family oriented audience.
@devil76 Yes I am considering this is a new system so it's reasonable to expect new games. If you look at the PS5 reveal, outside of GTA5 every other games shown was brand new. Today Nintendo showed about 5 new games in an hour long direct.
@PuppetMaster Totoki wasn't talking about Sony lacking IPs but more to do with ones that have worldwide appeal like Star Wars, Harry Potter, Pokemon etc.
@heavyartillery56 Steam isn't the only platform. You just can't seem to understand that maybe most people bought it on PS5 and Xbox or you that desperate to be right?
I'm disappointed in PS for posting this. After the nonsense of his remaster rumours that has been giving Santa Monica grief for weeks, you're now giving him more exposure.
@Americansamurai1 I wouldn't be surprised if internal politics were involved in Deviation been shut down. I remember it was Jason Blundell and Mark Rubin leading the studio then awhile later Mark left, then gradually the project was cancelled. And yet a decent amount of the staff seemed to have moved into Sony anyway.
I was watching earlier thinking "I'm sure I've heard of Higurashi When They Cry before?" Then I looked it up...oh boy...thanks Konami for making me unlock that core memory from over ten years ago.
With these bots that brings an end to the ones that were leaked because of the trademarks in the credits. Will be interesting to see if more's coming because the space map as well the crash site still have plenty of room for new galaxies/bots.
@BansheeNorn I've played most of the Mario games and I still prefer Astro Bot because the 3D Mario games tend to get too bloated or bogged down with gimmick controls.

Re: PS Plus Price Increases Confirmed for 15 Countries by Sony
@OldGamer999 The PS4 era was pretty much like that too. It was only the odd year that they had more then one big game.

@Godot25 I had that problem with Warframe.

@Godot25 Yikes, couldn't imagine how long that would take to catch up.
Re: Zenless Zone Zero's PS5 Console Exclusivity Is Coming to an End
Good luck to anybody trying to catch up since there's been 8 updates worth of content that was added since release.
Re: Bungie Will Reveal Its Next PS5 Game Marathon on 12th April

Blue Prince and Talos Principle for me. Just wish it had VR support.

I honestly didn't know what the next word in that headline was going to be.

Re: Nintendo Is Raising the Price of Games with Switch 2
Nintendo are really pushing it because they basically charging $80 for handheld games now.
Re: Bloodborne, Elden Ring Dev Won't Be Releasing Its Next Big Game on PS5
Confirmed by FromSoft that it's a "PVP/PVE" game.
Re: Poll: PS5 Fans, Are You Sold on the Nintendo Switch 2?
Thought it was a poor showing tbh.
The stream had awful sync issues.
Nintendo continue to have gimmicky controls that's so unnecessary.
Too much focus on ports of games from a few years ago.
Game chat was hardly revolutionary and that framerate on friend's screens... yikes.
No price on stream was a strange choice.
Paid upgrades for Switch games when Nintendo should know better.
Welcome hub being a paid game is a joke in a post Astro's Playroom world.
Lack of big Nintendo games at launch. Outside of MK. At least Donkey Kong is something a bit different
Re: Bloodborne, Elden Ring Dev Won't Be Releasing Its Next Big Game on PS5
@charbtronic Not really, Sony still get the money since they own parts of FromSoft
Re: Bloodborne, Elden Ring Dev Won't Be Releasing Its Next Big Game on PS5
It just looks like an uneven hodgepodge of there previous games.
Re: Bandai Namco's PS5 Patapon Remasters Will Fix Issues Sony Didn't Bother to on PS4
That was my issue with the PS4 games, as well as Parappa, they needed a sync test feature.

I wonder if they've been waiting for AC Shadows to get out of the way first before they fully start the marketing push.
Re: Ubisoft Spins Off Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, Rainbow Six into New Subsidiary with Tencent
@heavyartillery56 Everyone knows that Ubisoft have been struggling. Still doesn't mean that AC Shadows has flopped like you keep suggesting.
Re: Ubisoft Spins Off Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, Rainbow Six into New Subsidiary with Tencent
@heavyartillery56 Has nothing to do with Shadows's performance. These deals take months to happen.
Re: Patapon 1+2 Replay Marches to PS5, as Sony Licenses Series Out

Re: Cristiano Ronaldo Finally Revealed in Fatal Fury, One the Most Ridiculous Guest Characters Ever
While it is a mental inclusion it does make sense in that SNK is owned by the Saudi public investment fund and Ronaldo is playing there.
