It wouldn't surprise me if they announce a big guest character at the game awards for season 3 to try to gain back a lot of the support that they lost this season.
Hopefully the results of this technology will lead to more efficient development with more shorter release times because Sony must now be aware that they should be getting more games out of their studios over a generation.
If Sony ever brought back PlayStation Experience I think doing a concert show like this would go down well.
In terms of low sales I imagine a lot of it is ticket prices.
@Porco That's for me been a problem with soundtracks in general for the past 20 years. They just seem to be more of a soundscape to fit a theme or mood rather then being more memorable.
@graymamba You're not wrong but it certainly feels like things have or are coming to the boil now. If I was a betting man, I think them buying Activision was a huge mistake for the Xbox brand because it brought the attention of the top brass, people who largely let Xbox get on with things but they expect quick returns on their investments. Bearing in mind that those would be people who aren't use to losing money or slow growth considering the other parts of MS's business.
It's looking more likely that the next Xbox might be a much more niche product. If it allows you to use different storefronts, then MS run a serious risk of killing the 30% take of every game sold because people will just use Steam instead.
And retailers are starting to not store current Xboxs as it is so I can't imagine they'd be that concerned about a Xbox branded PC.
The whole thing has been a mess over there within the past year.
Multiple cancellations of already announced games.
Retailers now refusing to stock Xbox Series X/S.
Thousands of layoffs despite a massive acquisition spree.
Game Pass growth stagnants which leads to big price rises.
And resorting to go 3rd party to make up the numbers.
There mature games made for mature audiences, so yeah your not going to get happy go lucky stories. Doesn't make them all the same, by that logic Expedition 33 doesn't do anything different since it's a story about grief.
@UltimateOtaku91 I've been wondering about that myself. I'll get heat for saying this but if I was a mod he'd have been gone years ago because he does nothing but bring negativity.
So after all these years of people going on about "GP being the best deal in gaming because of day one releases" now only only exists on the most expensive tier?
@DarianStarfrog Actually look at the footage, the animations are 1-1 recreations from games like Spider-Man and Uncharted. So less of the bloody insults.
@Americansamurai1 I hope that's the case cos at least in Spider-Man there are lots of ways that you can change up the pace without compromising the character. For Wolverine I don't want wall to wall combat for 20 hours straight without a break from it. Mystique at least can do far more then MJ ever could so I'm all for it.
@ErrantRob I'm no good at fighting games either and rarely play online but even through the tutorial I played the other week I could that it would be pretty easy to do some cool moves and a few combos.
I was surprised at the lack of Tokon news which is making me think that the game is targeting a summer release. Saros in March, Tokon around July, Wolverine in about November.
@Dan12836666 Not happening, also that would include Marvel Tokon and I don't want to live in that world thank you.
@Oram77 I don't think they will show it till it's close to release, no point trying to get people interested months out from launch. Might as well reveal it then say "beta next month." Let the game speak for itself rather then the marketing.
Realistic expectations: Wolverine reveal Saros release date Marvel Tokon new characters, one of them is Wolverine. RE9 Leon reveal Astro Bot expansion God of War 2D

Re: As Fans Demand inFAMOUS Remasters, Sucker Punch Says It Can Only Work on One Game at a Time
Use Nixxes, they did a great job with the Horizon Zero Dawn remaster.
Re: Croc Platinum Edition Adds Trophies and Time Trials, Existing PS5, PS4 Owners Get it for Free
I never understand why it isn't mandatory at this point for every game to have a platinum trophy.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Ghost of Yotei?
Right now I'd give it a 9 but I'm only 15 hours in and have only took down one of the Yotei six.
Re: Review in Progress: Battlefield 6 (PS5) - You Won't Be Buying This One for the Campaign
A military shooter campaign just makes me yearn for Spec Ops The Line remaster.

Re: Wolverine PS5 Actor Was Allegedly Paid a 'Hefty Sum' to Star in Xbox's Answer to Uncharted
That explains why they money hatted Tomb Raider, a move that didn't help either.
Re: Sony Reveals Icon Blue PS5 DualSense, Quite Possibly the Bluest Controller Ever
Sonic wishes he was this blue.
Re: Preview: Marvel Tokon's Biggest Battle Isn't in the Arena
@PuppetMaster I think the guy just hates any game that has PlayStation on the box.
Re: Poll: Vote for Your PS5 Game of the Month (September 2025)
Lego Voyagers since that's the only one I played lol.

Re: Halo: Combat Evolved Remake Could Be the Final Frontier for Xbox on PS5
I just want the MCC so I can play Bungie's games.
Re: 'Told You So': Ex-FTC Chair Lina Khan Is Having the Last Laugh Over Xbox's Activision Acquisition
@graymamba Would love that instead of one they made themselves a few years ago where the trillion dollar company tried to act humble.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Silent Hill F?
Haven't played it but there's been very differing opinions, some are loving it while others are adamant that it's not a "SH game."

Re: Promising Mountaineering Adventure Cairn Delays the Climb to Early 2026 on PS5
Shame but understandable. As the first couple of comments mentioned, the framerate was choppy so hopefully it'll get a lot more polished.
Re: Sony Is a 'Terrible Company' That's 'Blowing It in the Games Business', Says Michael Pachter
So he's basically saying "discount anything I say about Sony (not that we should be paying attention to him in the first place) because of my bias."
Re: Sounds Like KPop Demon Hunters Will Be Showing Fortnite How It's Done Very Soon
No surprise at all. Btw the Daft Punk event was amazing, no other game comes close to doing live events like Fortnite does.
Re: Rumour: New PS5 DualSense Controller Will Feature a Removable Battery
I would love if they can do that for the PS6 controller to keep the costs down.
Re: Square Enix Ain't Going to Revisit Parasite Eve on PS5, But This Chinese Dev Sure as Hell Is
Man... doing fakes of other companies's products is truly part of China's culture.
Re: Superb Ghost of Yotei Soundtrack Sets the Mood Ahead of Next Week's PS5 Launch
@3Above I read a story book of it before seeing the film in cinema so I had it spoiled for myself, was only twelve like.
Re: Oh No! Sony Reveals Stunning PlayStation Themed Magic: The Gathering Trading Cards
@UltimateOtaku91 That's the dream for me, hell I'd accept Marvel Vs PlayStation as well
Re: Preview: We Played Anime Open World Ananta, and It Could Change Everything

Re: Almost 800 People Are Working on Ambitious Anime Open World Ananta
800 people and not one was capable of making animations without using tracing paper?
Re: Maybe We'll Get Character Reveals at Marvel Tokon's Tokyo Game Show Presentation
@Rob_230 It depends on how big the roster is, if it's only 20 at launch then they don't want to burn through them before launch.
Re: Preview: We Played Anime Open World Ananta, and It Could Change Everything
I admire the ambition but literally ripping off other game's animations just leaves a sour taste.
Re: The Witcher 3 Mod Support on PS5 Delayed into 2026
I'm hoping they bring mods to Cyberpunk eventually.
Re: Here's Your First Look at Spider-Man and Ghost Rider Gameplay in Marvel Tokon
@straw-hat-crew I'll be surprised if Sauron isn't playable at some point.
Re: Who Is Playing Wolverine in Insomniac's PS5 Game?
@Americansamurai1 I hope that's the case cos at least in Spider-Man there are lots of ways that you can change up the pace without compromising the character. For Wolverine I don't want wall to wall combat for 20 hours straight without a break from it. Mystique at least can do far more then MJ ever could so I'm all for it.

Re: Classic Cyberpunk RPG Deus Ex Is Being Remastered on PS5 in February 2026
@Faultandfracture Me too, I wasn't sure if it was going to click with me but I was completely sucked into it's world, story and gameplay.
Re: Explore the Pages of Stylish Action Game Chronoscript: The Endless End on PS5 in 2026
Looks like a cross between Plucky Squire and Castlevania. Art style looks nice.
Re: Gran Turismo 7 Gets Massive Free PS5, PS4 Update as Series Tops 100 Million Units
Here was me thinking that they were starting to slow down on updates.
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate State of Play for September 2025?
I was surprised at the lack of Tokon news which is making me think that the game is targeting a summer release. Saros in March, Tokon around July, Wolverine in about November.
Re: First Wolverine PS5 Gameplay Is Incredibly Gory, Set for Fall 2026
Was concerned that it was going to be too similar to Spider-Man but judging by this trailer that's not the case.
Re: New PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Confirmed, The Last of Us 2 on Friday
Can't believe Tekken 3 is coming back, I haven't played it in 20 years.
Re: Classic Cyberpunk RPG Deus Ex Is Being Remastered on PS5 in February 2026
I'm hoping it leads to a Human Revolution remaster in future.
Re: Wildly Promising GTA-Style Open World Scraps Character Gachas Completely
@get2sammyb It does look ambitious so it'll be interesting how both compare.
Re: Wildly Promising GTA-Style Open World Scraps Character Gachas Completely
When I saw the trailer last night, I thought NTE had changed its title. Will be interesting if both games don't cannibalize each other.
Re: Bungie's Much Criticised Shooter Marathon Will Skip PS5's New State of Play
@Oram77 I agree but I think the best thing for it is to just almost shadow drop it and hope the gameplay can carry it.

Re: State of Play September 2025 Predictions: Marvel's Wolverine, Resident Evil Requiem, God of War, and More
Realistic expectations:
Wolverine reveal
Saros release date
Marvel Tokon new characters, one of them is Wolverine.
RE9 Leon reveal
Astro Bot expansion
God of War 2D
Re: Random: Would You Trust Hideo Kojima with Your Credit Card Details?
It's better then those old WCW credit cards. I mean imagine pulling a half naked man out of your wallet.
Re: No Nudity and Less Gore in Censored Japanese Version of Dying Light: The Beast
@Oram77 Berserk's Eclipse comes straight to mind.
Re: Even More Xbox Price Increases Make PS5 Look Like a Good Deal
@nessisonett Still means that the PS5 is cheaper which was what the article is saying.
Re: Rumour: Everyone's Talking About Leon's Supposed Appearance in Resident Evil Requiem
I would have preferred Jill Valentine, she's long overdue to be a playable character in a new game.
