They protest way too much and way too loud. you lost, it is what it is. Nothing to be ashamed of, Sega was way better than Xbox ever was and they had to quit against Sony and Nintendo also. Being the biggest games publisher will be more lucrative for them anyway
They literally said they want to concentrate on anime and games so they obviously zero value in their gaming IP which is fair. It's all about whether Sony pictures wants to be lumbered with James gunns DCU films, Harry Potter etc. probably for the best you didn't take that stuff on
For PlayStation only gamers, it's a Painfully average game, not worth bothering with unless it's cheap or dumped onto PS plus.
One of the Good things about games pass, at least the old model anyway
Or maybe crack open a book, or do something outdoors. Having an offline video game console just in case Internet services go down for a few hours is dark stuff. Humanity is doomed isn't it
Although I can't see it selling any better than the series consoles it's good to have choice, and something for the die hard Xbox fans. Not sure I subscribe to the idea Sony needs completion, their best ever periods for me is when they really didn't have any during the PS2
Must be the last timed exclusive PlayStation pay for. Seems like a pointless exercise now , switch is in its own space and Microsoft are no longer competition. Be very odd to still purchase timed AAA games
Called it the moment they introduced games pass to be honest. Clue is in the company name, it is and always has been a software company. The brief dip into hardware for phones, computers and now consoles is really just not them
Uh huh We'll see, there's a massive difference between things like thunderbolts, brave new world, fantastic 4 etc to avengers with Downey jnr, Chris Evans, Hemsworth , guardians, Deadpool, wolverine, spiderman and then a whole bunch other nostalgia cameos
If you don't think that makes big money then fair enough but I think you'll find it's incredibly unlikely that film doesn't make a billion. It's as wishful as thinking another boring avatar film will make less than a billion
Bet you it will, still alot of nostalgia mining to come with all the cameos that will be in the film . That will be enough to get people to the theater
And when it still fails to sell in the number square Enix expects I wonder what they will think then? FF fans already own a PlayStation, only thing that might have really boosted sales would be to put it on PS4
That would work if big boss didn't appear in the game.
But he does and is voiced by Sutherland In ground zeroes, just as he is wen he appears in phantom pain.
So it's not all venom snake , who again needed to SOUND big boss anyway for the con to work.
Canon wise you just have to assume his voice changed as he got older, since it's not hayters voice in MGS4 either.
Helldiver's is really not much different to Sony than marathon or destiny.
youre not gonna see proper single PlayStation console game like God of War or last of us on Xbox unless PlayStation one day struggles as bad as Xbox is now
Yeah They obviously are important or Nintendo and Sony wouldn't bother. Only reason Microsoft are doing this is because they're bleeding money . Sony will happily do multi format service games for all as would Nintendo of thru made them.
U think Mario kart or Pokemon would have the same ip value to Nintendo if they were readily available on all formats? Do you think switch would be as in demand if all the games were on PC and steam Deck
What would be the point buying a PlayStation or Xbox if they all played the same games. Not really how console gaming works . Sony is a electronics manufacturer first and foremost unlike Microsoft. They'll always produce exclusive content to drive their hardware sales
People going over the top, but then so does the article. Think its obvious the kinda games Sony is thinking about going multiplat
It won't be horizon 3 or ghosts for example. But fairgames and things designed from the get go to be on other consoles like Lego horizon, probably that marvel fighting game after a year
Feel people forget Sony have been in the TV and film business since the 1980s. And have been investing in IP throughout, such as more recently with something like the boys on Amazon. It's not always about the PlayStation division
