Sounds pretty cool and Vostok Inc was as well, but does the in game clock utilize real time? That would be really annoying for me, being a night owl, night time is when I do most of my gaming.
The fact that this is supposed to be a selling point to get us to watch the show is pretty sad and doesn’t give me much faith this show will be any better than the last few duds
Personally would have much rather seen them bring in Crystal Dynamics, Eidos, and Supermassive and expand output on single player experiences rather than GaaS.
Absolute gem of game, and easily one of my all time favorites! I’m glad to see them still constantly updating and improving the game I look forward to checking this out after clearing some backlog out.
@Perturbator there’s a rollback feature so you don’t lose any progress which I’ve taken advantage of many of times
It’s a really solid offering of games. But it is super disappointing to see them giving us another game that’s already currently in the Extra tier. No one cared when they did this with PSNow but hopefully with the new service stuff like this gets more attention criticism and they put a stop to it soon.
I’m assuming Silent Hill and the Sly Cooper collection aren’t on here so they can eventually be added and announced separately, which is pretty annoying. Mid tier looks great though and I’m excited to jump in.
Honestly not even sure if I’d bother to tune in next year rather than just catching the highlights afterwards. Pacing was awful, announcements were dull, and the whole thing just made me miss e3.
I’m gonna be honest, Sony not making this move is making me worry about the future of PlayStation a bit. With all the talk of expanding into live service and mobile gaming, It doesn’t really seem like narrative single player games are as much of a priority. With all the studios Microsoft has bought and the games they’re taking away from PlayStation players this was clearly a missed opportunity to bring in two talented and capable AAA studios with histories of narrative single player games for relatively cheap considering they just spent 3 billion on Bungie. Would have been really cool to see what these studios were capable of under Sonys direction.
Really disappointing that they’re double dipping with two PSNow games this month while also pulling the PS5 only crap. For 5 dollars a month I don’t expect every month to be a banger but there’s literally thousands of other games they could have given us instead of ones they’ve already given most of us on their other services.
The move does very little of assuring me more of my favorite games aren’t about to be stripped away and made Xbox/gamepass exclusive. It also seems like a massive overpay for a company that it sounds like they actually have very little control over. Personally I would of much rather seen them spend 3 billion dollars on multiple smaller studios like Supermassive, Remedy, Techland, Ember Labs, etc. If they were gonna spend that on a single studio I wish they went after Gearbox which was sold for far less not long ago, or gone all out for a Capcom, Square, or Sega.
The bigger issue to me is the fact Planet Coaster is only for PS5 which imo is the highlight of this months offerings. It’s another avoidable fumble to keep piling on the many others of recent memory.
I don’t think it’ll happen and It does seem like a no brainer for both companies, but I don’t think either really want to. I guess it all comes down to what Microsofts intentions are. They’ve said in the past they don’t believe in exclusives but that was followed by a buyout of Bethesda and an announcement of Starfield being exclusive. But if they really do want to just be everywhere people play games I don’t believe Sony would stop them from publishing any of their games on PlayStation consoles if that’s what Microsoft wanted. Also If you put gamepass, which is definitely operating at a loss on PlayStation you instantly have access to 100 million+ players but also hand Sony the one system that can play both big publishers titles and even less of a reason to buy a physical Xbox. That being said I would definitely use it to play Microsoft first party games.
Obviously they can’t beat Microsoft in terms of throwing money at a problem, but I do think they need to expand their first party output heavily with multiple acquisitions while also releasing some titles day and date on PC. AAA third party is disappearing and I don’t think people realize the amount of games that won’t be coming to playstation in the not so distant future.
I think at this point they should definitely be looking at Capcom and Sega as well as some independent teams. Especially Remedy, Techland, Ember Lab, Hello Games, Frictional Games & Supermassive among others. I think them partnering with Bethesda on two games just have them bought by their biggest competitor shows they have to focus more on first party and can’t rely on having big third party games consistently in the future.
@JustPlainLoco I agree Ember Labs would be a fantastic fit. Playing through Kena now and it’s got PlayStation written all over it. If they do acquire some VR studios I’m hoping for Polyarc or Squanch Games. Would also like to see Supermassive and Hello Games.
In my opinion Game pass is devaluing the whole industry. No one wants to pay for anything anymore because they think they get everything for free, forever with the service. Look at the way Battlefield was treated by the media and fans for having a price tag attached to it. We’re already seeing studios, including Ubisoft changing the way they make games with more evidence with today’s announcement.
At this point it’s starting to seem like Sony has nothing to show. I’m personally tired of all the silence. This is the first year in a “new generation” yet they don’t seem like they have any interest in talking about it. I’ll be skipping this state of play. I’ve seen more then enough of Deathloop to decide I’m not buying it.
The Forest was an indie title that came out two years ago and was on top of I think Mays most purchased psn games... so maybe it’s just your game. It’s not Sony’s job to promote every single one of the thousands of games on its platforms.
Some of you honestly need to see a psychiatrist. It’s a video game, stop taking everything so seriously. The relentless media and silent hill fans are the likely reason for the delay. Just calm down and give who ever is making the game the time they need to put out their project in a state their happy with. That being said I look forward to seeing more in August.
I think moves like this as well as numerous acquisitions are required. Microsoft is going to keep buying and buying and Sony needs to respond. I think they should be looking at smaller teams and help them grow into bonafide AAA studios. So that in 5-10 years. we’re talking about teams like Unknown Worlds, Ember Lab, or even Young Horses the way people talk about Guerilla or Suckerpunch.

Re: Quantic Dream's Star Wars Game Revealed, Named Eclipse
So disappointed their next game is going to be a Star Wars game.

Personally I’m happier with Mortal Shell. Been wanting to try it for a bit and couldn’t really get into Judgement when it was on psnow.

Re: The Final Trailer for Death Stranding: Director's Cut Will Debut Next Week
I’m going to be so pissed off if deathloop takes up a single second of that 40 minutes
Re: Deep Dives from Featured Teams to Follow PS5 Showcase
Only 40 minutes is pretty disappointing after all the silence, but looking forward to it regardless.
Re: Soapbox: Don't Let Psychonauts 2 Pass You By
@pip_muzz to me, it’s baffling people are defending a company who released an inferior product to one specific audience.
Re: Soapbox: Don't Let Psychonauts 2 Pass You By
So you’re telling us to support a company that’s holding back quality and features from one specific audience?
Re: The Winners from Sony's Latest State of Play
Moss 2 was my highlight
Re: Soapbox: Why I'm Less Excited for Deathloop on PS5 Than I Should Be
In my opinion Game pass is devaluing the whole industry. No one wants to pay for anything anymore because they think they get everything for free, forever with the service. Look at the way Battlefield was treated by the media and fans for having a price tag attached to it. We’re already seeing studios, including Ubisoft changing the way they make games with more evidence with today’s announcement.
Re: State of Play Livestream Confirmed for Thursday, Featuring Deathloop
At this point it’s starting to seem like Sony has nothing to show. I’m personally tired of all the silence. This is the first year in a “new generation” yet they don’t seem like they have any interest in talking about it. I’ll be skipping this state of play. I’ve seen more then enough of Deathloop to decide I’m not buying it.

Re: Sony Under Heavy Fire for Handling of Indies on PS Store

Re: Sony: PlayStation Studios Is Expanding, and Always on the Lookout for Incredible Experiences
@ViolentEntity yes. Though we have no idea what they’re working on yet, I would bet some type of first person narrative game.
Re: Reaction: Partnerships Show PlayStation Empowering Creators, And Avoiding an Acquisition War
I think moves like this as well as numerous acquisitions are required. Microsoft is going to keep buying and buying and Sony needs to respond. I think they should be looking at smaller teams and help them grow into bonafide AAA studios. So that in 5-10 years. we’re talking about teams like Unknown Worlds, Ember Lab, or even Young Horses the way people talk about Guerilla or Suckerpunch.
