I'll be honest no matter what you say about subsidizing but there is no way that ps6 will be cheap. The only way for it to be cheap or around the price that PS5 launched for example is if there is a big price drop in the PS5 pro. Imagine how ridiculous it would look if the ps6 is cheaper than the PS5 pro. The PS6 will never be cheaper than any box lables with a 5.
What a mess. I think it's ridiculous that all this is not affecting the SP games. With the the long dev times Sony needed to be razor focused this gen but all this free firing at the wall approach is just wasting time, effort and money.
@AverageGamer just shows how much of a margin they are keeping on the switch 2. No way do some extra languages cost that much. They get away with anything.
While a little hypocritical, he is 100% right. The only growth that happens in a subscription model is the one right at the beginning, once you have a big audiance, the only way to grow is to keep having more people subscribe, which inevitably slows down or increase prices, which is what's happening in every subscription service. In a system that demands continuous growth, this model is impossible to sustain. Something will need to give.
@BiosNova it was probably real time you know. Your point about the dual sense and whatnot makes no sense. Are they supposed to control a demo with their minds?
We all know it makes money, why would anyone chase it if it didn't also I am sorry but when has a so called "golden goose" stopped a company from finding the next one. It never ends and you are naive to even suggest this. Sony can do whatever it wants and I can keep ignoring it but let's be real about this live service push not affecting single player games.
This is part of the reason why I don't want a ps6 in 2027. We have barely started seeing proper PS5 only games and now the prices keep rising. Not exactly the environment for a new generation.
@ATaco I meant push square too but my main point was towards sony, nd and Neil. Why talk about this in a public way? When has a dev or publisher talking like this and focusing on the hate they will get rather than the game itself lead to anything positive? The ones throwing the hate get in arms, the rest of the people get in arms against them and sites like this get clicks and nothing ultimately changes. Only the attention gets diverted away from the very thing we are all here for to begin with. The game itself.
Why broadcast this? It's just asking for unnecessary attention. This kind of post isn't gonna reduce the hate whatsoever because it's the internet. I hate when companies keep talking about hate this or hate that. Just make the game and focus on advertising the game itself.
I wonder when gta vi will launch. I hope it's not too close to this game. T2 should give this proper time to breath before launching the absolute juggernaut.
@CrispyMango92 I think it might a Bayonetta like situation, where Microsoft owns the rights to the first game but the ip as a whole is owned by Sony. So Sony can make and release a potential Sunset overdrive 2 on their own but the first one might need approval from Microsoft.
It's honestly so sad that we can't play so many of the games in some of Playstation's best and most iconic franchises on PS5. Of course God of War being a great example. Come on Sony do something.
It's honestly ridiculous the reaction this seems to be getting. He has said literally nothing. Do people not realise that plenty of games have religious themes? What are people even hating here? We know nothing.
@Rich33 I know it's unlikely but maybe a follow up to Fall of Cybertron considering they just released a follow up to Space Marine. Heck I would take simple ports of WFC and FOC at this point.
@ProfessorNiggle good point. Online games from the PS3 times are very different from nowadays. A live service is too resource intensive. Though I wish we could have again have some online games that aren't live services.
Personally, can't care less. Just give me a great single player gta 6, then they can do whatever they want with the online section. Hopefully all the trophies are completely separate for online too.
@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare and yet here we are. I don't see them making any money from these projects either now am I. When you heard the news that they have 12 gaas projects in work, do you seriously think that those projects would have no effect on their sp projects because if you did then you were clearly wrong. Having all these projects is not an example of them trying to please everyone and finding a balance either. It's them putting their eggs in one basket and throwing them at the wall and hoping something comes out of it. Who exactly did this please. Hint: no one.
You were the people who kept defending this, saying how this will have no effect on the traditional single player games but I guess it's impossible to predict that 12 live service games being in production will have an effect on single player games right? They had a open opponents goal and still managed to score an own goal instead. Oh but don't worry, they are going to go ahead with the live service vision anyway. Just watch.
Are we still gonna pretend that these live service games have had no effect on their traditional single player games output, when they have to specify whether these studios will be closed or not. Come on.
@Cry_Zero I loved it's story and characters. On the surface the pirate philosophy of freedom is the same as that of the assassins but it's the nuance that makes them different where black flag truly shines. Of course Edward isn't an assassin throughout most of the game, Ezio wasn't one either in 2, it's a story of Edward realising the difference.
@Cry_Zero don't agree with this sentiment at all. In my opinion black flag is the game that blended it's specific setting with the AC world the best out of all. The way the pirate philosophy morphs into the assassin one is brilliant and the best part of the game. Without this game being ac black flag would lose a lot of it's heart.
Is it just me or is there this sort of weird hate going on towards sony for no reason right now. I miss the more open communication days of PS4 but this is getting ridiculous. Everything they do or don't do seems to get hated. The whole helldivers psn thing, when literally so many others do it without much backlash, freaking Astro winning goty, the intergalactic reveal, etc. where is this coming from?
I wish they had revealed a bit more. It looks kinda generic without more details. We have a ship, we seem to be like a bounty hunter type, etc. Though to be fair i guess that's how the recent Naughty dog ips have looked, Uncharted was called dude raider while Tlou looked like a generic zombie game. Lets see how it looks the next time they drop some details.
@LifeGirl seriously it's ridiculous. I still use the 20th anniversary theme on my PS4. Honestly how they didn't see the backlash coming is beyond me, just how out of touch are the executives at sony nowadays. Maybe they will allow this and then be all, " see we listen to feed back".
@themightyant dunno about all that but "Ananta" quite literally means "without an end". "Ant" or how english speakers call it "Anta" literally means end while the "An" here is simply used to denote lack of what follows it kinda like in "unimportant". So "without an end", "endless" or "infinite". It does annoys me how english speakers add the "a" at the end of words for no reason, it always sounds so silly.
I don't mind that it's basic concept is similar to Horizon. What rubs me the wrong way is just how far they went to make sure it looks as close to Horizon as possible. Like you can make a tribal robot animal hunting game without it looking so similar to Horizon. Come on.
My biggest problem with Ubi has been their willingness to just leave the defining elements of thier franchises Behind way to easily. Now I am a huge AC fan. I love all the older games. In my opinion those games offered something that nothing else in the industry did. Their biggest issue was Ubi releasing those games way too close to each other thus there not being many changes from entry to entry but taken as a whole the AC franchise was very unique. If you wanted to play something like AC the only real option was AC. Now it's just another RPG. Why would I bother playing a mediocre version of that when there are countless better ones out there? What exactly does the AC franchise offers now that I can't find elsewhere? They still don't seem to have learned their lesson, talking about how they want to go for the broadest appeal possible, well more of the same is gonna happen in that case.
I could understand remasters as a concept last gen with the different architecture and lack of BC so I was hoping that this gen will kill them off for goo, especially the PS4 to PS5 ones, but here we are. Remakes of games from PS3 and before I can still stomach since they often look and feel very different but who really is asking for remasters of PS4 games?
