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
Yep they should get it on switch 2 also. None of their live service things should be just PlayStation and PC. Should be on everything that can handle it, including iOS and Android
He should fall on his sword. Activision deal was his baby along with gamepass that effectively killed XBOX and turned it into just large 3rd party publisher
As mentioned it's nothing to with the current temp. Ps5s work just fine in Japan or California which is way hotter on average than the UK.
It's that kojima haven't handled their pause screen very well leaving the frame uncapped.
Witcher 3 on PlayStation 4 base had the exact same issue
Microsoft restructuring Xbox to be a much leaner third party publisher with the Xbox brand licenced out to PC hardware manufacturers. That's always gonna cause massive cuts, they've acquired alot of people during their crazy acquisition phase.
Replayed it after the garbage part 2 tv adaptation finished. It remains one of the greatest games I've ever played.
The combat is pure Egyptian cotton. Such silky varied gunplay, setting traps, Melee, stealth and cunning. The acting from baker, Johnson and Bailey is exceptional. The story remains compelling and grim, the traversal is simple but fun as well as the crafting. And of course the sound and visuals are tier 1. Masterpiece
It's probably half true, Sony were dead set on owning paramount pictures. But just the good bits and not paramount plus. And then again with kadakowa
They seem to be in the market purchase a portfolio of pre existing film and/or tv ip
People purely looking at the video game angle again like fromsoft. Game studios like rocksteady just a mere bonus, they would want the IP of HBO . Not sure I envision Warner selling that anymore than Sony would sell Spider-Man, the boys, last of us or Ghostbusters
The adaptation of part 2 isn't working for me.
They've made a dogs dinner of the story. What was the point of Ellie Washing up on scar Island just for them to let her go? Pointless exercise in plot armor .
On Ellie I don't buy her quest for revenge at all, she's jokey, smiley, opposed to in the game we're she's always withdrawn, rage filled and in pain.
You've got dumb scenes like Ellie explaining to dina/the audience nice and slowly that Joel killed the fireflies because they were gonna make a cure from a dead Ellie and that the head Dr was Abbys dad, hence she's upset and wants her revenge . Awful spoon-feeding
They've already gone killed Abby season 3 story by laying out her plot through forced dialogue so no surprises their. Also would it have killed the actress to do some curls. No actress is getting as big as Abby but at least look lean as it's a bit of visual storytelling in the game that she turned her body into a weapon which pays of at the end when she's let go of her vengeance and it's reflected in her loss of muscle .
Having the Joel porch scene so early is also gonna rob the end of its impact. Not to big on how Ellie found out and forgave him all in one night either
Suppose I could go on but I'll just say 5 out of 10
Now I know how fire and ice readers felt watching season 5

They haven't done Abbies story, that's what season 3 is. Thought that was obvious?
And if they wanna stretch it out they can do a 4th season about what goes down In California since we never saw Abbies side of it either
Re: Neil Druckmann Focused on Naughty Dog Games, Steps Away from The Last of Us TV Show
honestly think he lost creative control and this is him leaving due to "creative differences"
There's no way he could've agreed to the massive changes to the part 2 plot that fundamentally change the essence of the story.
Not to mention that Ellie is written more ace Ventura than actually the Ellie portrayed by Johnson in part 2.
