I’d like to see how the upgrade fixes the games that were effected with issues early on before jumping onto the Pro!

Square Enix are just crazy! Don’t support one of the largest fan bases in gaming? Gotcha!! So much for the multiplatform releases… Personally I don’t really buy SE games anymore, they have lost their crown of being of the best RPG developers. Next they will get bought by Microsoft and say that it was the correct move to make..

I saw in their recent email that there is a chance for a refund. I think I’ll take that if possible. I won’t be using this company again.

If Devil May Cry 6 were to launch on PS5 Pro and use the updated version of PSSR, I would buy a Pro immediately! 😆

I won’t be upgrading to another console anytime soon, very happy with what I have and I hope Sony sees this too. I honestly don’t think a $1200 rival console would make them jump the gun to speak about PS6! PS5 has such a dominate attach rate that people buying into the console over the next year will surely be catered for by developers making games for the system for a few years yet.

Sony are in too much of a commanding position, the don’t need to say a thing. Like Phil Spencer said, the Generation that Xbox needed to win was a couple back now and most gamers are set on the platform that they have invested heavily in as far as gaming library’s go. I couldn’t see anyone that has bought into PlayStation changing now so they won’t be bothered by a new Xbox console, especially on costing $1000 plus.

I really don’t care when Sony finally releases a PS6, I am happy with my PS5 and finally feel like it’s actually getting games that feel current gen. Honestly, Sony could hold off for another few years and it still won’t make too much differences with sales or whatever. They have enough poeple that have invested in their digital library’s that a very small percentage would move to another platform, people will simply wait and as long as GTA6 and EAs football games are on PS5, people won’t be jumping off in droves.

I don’t know why Sony didn’t do more with this in the end.. Uncharted 4 sold gargantuan numbers, but as soon as Neil Druckmann got a hold of it, he goes by the philosophy of every game he touches has to feel like it’s the last one possible and it really put a hold on this franchise. Allowing a studio to do what it wants is one thing, but basically killing off a franchise when it’s still relevant is another. God of War and Uncharted are the 2 franchises which I would buy forever, I love them so much, but the magic got removed from Uncharted when Amy Hennig left (got forced out?) of Naughty Dog.

Really glad to see that the game is doing well, it more than deserved too! I still have a hit to go on the game I feel, but it really is an excellent entry to the series!

With how they sold, I don’t think the word priority should have been anywhere near this.

Always great to read Capcom doing their best!! Can’t wait to play this at midnight!! 😆

The timing for both this and marathons beta aren’t the best when Resident evil is out aswell..

I’m sorry, but this is turning into a ***** show for Microsoft and quickly. Im sure Asha thinks she has all the power in the world, but Satya and the rest of the board of directors want the money that comes from selling on PlayStation and if her Bosses want to keep multiplatforming, she doesn’t have much say. They have created a culture in Xbox that their fan base wants everything for ‘free’, and the have devalued their brand for so long that I honesty can’t see much of a way back for them as far as selling consoles goes. Most Casual gamers won’t even realise that there is a new head of Xbox and they will continue to think that Xbox is dying no matter what is said next! What does she think will happen, release everything on PlayStation and then next generation completely stop and we all go flooding to Xbox because we can’t get any of their games here?? They have really missed the mark with COD, the only Halo anyone wants is the first one and after that’s out, what is next for that franchise, all their other big hitters really haven’t sold mega amounts on PlayStation. Forza Horizon is likely the main seller, but if Forza Horizon 7 is exclusive to Xbox again, how many are realistically going to go to Xbox just to play that? I personally have played 2 Xbox games, Sea of Thieves and Gears of War. Nothing else interested me enough to buy more. I definitely think Sony need to get their own house in shape and fast, because they have been beyond useless this generation with their own 1st party releases, but they can afford to be crap, Microsoft couldn’t.

Although she is saying the things people want to hear, especially Xbox fans, it’s not like Satya Nadella is going to change anything moving forward, because no matter how someone says the things people want to hear, there is only one type of person that makes decisions and that is shareholders. With how well the pivot to Multiplatformer is going, I can see the console business clueing up and the 3rd party aspect dominating moving forward. I personally don’t see a new console from Microsoft.

Get Herman Hulst in front of a camera and let him take pelters for a few hours. He has turned the whole of the first party contingent of Sony into an absolute disaster area. Spent Billions on failures, invested in live service slop and had the whole division fighting to make a hit and losing money hand over hand. I can’t believe that Sony higher ups aren’t taking a look at his stewardship and can’t see that he is causing them to lose not just cash, but reputation…

Hulst needs to be sacked!!!!

Todd Howard.. I take what he says with a pinch of salt. I haven’t played a Bethesda game in a long while properly, only spending about 20 odd hours on StarField, but one thing is, character models and movement have basically stayed the same for absolute years now. I imagine that, although there may be a better look to Elder Scrolls 6 locations, everything else is just going to look about as good as it all does right now with their games. They need to upgrade properly.

They don’t need to censor anything, there will be an age certificate rating of 18 on the game. I am sure anyone of that age can take the scenes and just agree that it’s a typical Kratos situation (Maybe.. 😅)!

The biggest thing Sony needs to take away from this is don’t use their established IPs to jump into Live Service gaming. And showing how bad people took to Concord, even new IPs will struggle. The problem for myself personally is I bought PlayStation solely based on my interest in single player games, with amazing stories. That’s why I don’t like the idea of GaaS games or anything of that line.

Great numbers for sure. I hope that with the issues facing Sony when it comes to making a new console that they let the generation go on for a few more years, they really don’t have competition from Microsoft now, so there is zero need to even try to match their ambitions to get the next (probably insanely priced) Xbox to market. Let this generation simmer, allow for as many game to still get released and don’t worry about going cross generation like we had this time again. I don’t feel like this generation ever really got going. It still feels like it has at least 3 more years in it!

Personally speaking, What a waste of resources, the studio head said, as soon as the video started, that they love making single player games and they will always do that, I mean holy crap that’s not how you start selling a game. It basically means, we have been forced to make this, but don’t worry because once we are done pushing this, as long as we are still a company, we will make what players really want. Herman Hulst seems to have forgotten what made Sony games so great once upon a time. This is exactly the game he would have green lit, or at least asked to be made personally..

It’s going to be hard for a Microsoft owned studio to hit sales targets when one of the formats you are releasing on is having sales cannibalised by GamePass. That being said, I didn’t bother to buy The Outer Worlds 2 because I really want to own my games and when the disc was nothing more than a game key, I decided to pass.

I am kinda on the fence here myself. Although the game looked pretty excellent as a whole, the combat looked a little bit janky. But then everything looks that way compared to something like Devil May Cry, I guess!! 😅

This was a very impressive looking game. I am a huge Forza fan, the horizon games have been brilliant to play, especially 4 and I definitely can’t wait to play this at some time on PS5!

The collector in me would love to see a box set announced for release with a statue of someone that’s not Leon! 😆 Maybe the Amiibo that is coming will get shown here too! Either way I will definitely be watching this as my hype is growing steady towards release!!

Seeing this makes me wish that Sega would just commit to a full blown NiGHts single player extravaganza! Today’s tech would definitely lend itself well to an all in sequel to the original Saturn Version. The Wii version doesn’t count!! 😆

I didn’t see too many issues as far as how the game ran for me, it just felt pretty good all round. Saying that though, I’ll definitely have a look at it again to see how it all runs now. It would be pretty noticeable for me if there are improvements since I was happy before, I’m sure!

Honestly, it’s kinda the bare minimum that a developer should do. Up until now, Capcom and Namco Bandai have been the worst offenders for sure.

Edit: Going by the above comments, it looks like I have a serious problem!! 😂😂 Although I am a Platinum hunter with almost 500 spread across 2 accounts, I definitely don’t need to have trophies or Platinums to play games. For the topic point, I already own Soul Calibur 3 on PlayStation 2, and I was actually playing it a few weeks ago, but if there were trophies added to these releases, I definitely would pay the money to add them to my account. It’s just my collecting mentality at the end of the day! I better add that I have zero issues with people who have no interest in trophies or the ilk, but there are more than enough people that do that would like to see Trophies added to these releases.

I’ll be honest, I didn’t give this a chance in hell a few months ago, it just looked like an utter shambles, but going by what has been shown now and the overwhelmingly positive feedback from people that have already played this, it may not be the huge failure that I and probably a lot of people were expecting. It still has to release of course and still has to make sales numbers, but definitely not as convinced of a failure at launch as I was. There is something I
Would like to see though, a Dual Sense control pad for the games launch. With all the crazy colours that are in this game, that pad has a potential to be amazing!

So Microsoft and Activision are learning nothing from this release.. gotcha! The ‘Too big to fail statement’ really means that they cannot think that the franchise is in decline and they will look at anything possible to frame the low sales and player count as gamers fault as opposed to it simply being a crappy release

I can’t wait to try this game out to see how it all works in hand. Pragmata is one of the my most wanted games from what I’ve seen, so I have really high hopes for the Demo!!

Hearing this 10 years ago would have sent dread down my spine, but with how poorly run Rocksteady is now, NetherRealms messing up Mortal Kombat and Monolith a thing of the past, I also don’t think there is much value to the WB Games devision either. However, it’s pretty harrowing that this is even the case now and when a company like Netflix (or Paramount) don’t really care about the gaming side, there really needs to be something put in place that if there is to be an acquisition, gaming divisions should be sold to a buyout that actually wants to do something with the department instead of just letting it rot. A few years ago, I would have been all in on Sony buying WB Games, but it’s a mess now and the best outcome I can seen now unfortunately is whoever buys Warner Bros, they need to sell off the gaming properties and hopefully they can replicate the times when they were great without clueless shareholders asking for l live Service slop or whatever else they see fit to drop on us!

Devil May Cry 1 - 3 Remakes or Devil May Cry 6 would be spectacular in even measures for myself! The series is probably my favourite in gaming!!

I played this on Xbox last year and I found the loading times a real slog to deal with, but the game is a marvel on a graphical level to behold, so it’s not too surprising that this is an issue.

Well, as long as Microsoft or Ubisoft doing buy this up, I wouldn’t be too upset to see it in the hands of a developer that understands that it isn’t going to hit 10 million sales. The remake that EA did was really great in my opinion and I am definitely disappointed that this probably won’t get anything new for a very long time.Closer to home, Santa Monica would probably do a great job with the franchise if Sony were brave with this!

The person who made this needs to get a job in the games industry!

I am no fan of the second game, I just didn’t really like anything about it in the end, but I loved the first game and I haven’t played it since I did it on PS3 so I definitely think I will pick this up to replay it.

Whatever happens with a Destiny 3, Bungie really needs to get people on board with the second game again, unvault all the lost Planets, add in the things people would like, such as the the Wrath of the Machine Raid and streamline everything up a bit to allow for new fans to engage properly or there won’t be any fans left for Destiny 3!

I feel like this will be the game that shapes the direction that Sony takes Bungie in. It’s just got fail written all over it.

Too big to fail… Well, this is just another game that has been bitten by the Xbox bug. The game has been devalued because of Gamepass for sure, I always think that the games released on the service from Microsoft always lacks the quality of games that are not on the service. Thee have been games that have bucked that trend, but they are usually from independent developers that have something that is missing from a vast majority of the consolidated side of the industry, Passion! Expedition 33 and Lies of P were both games that showed real quality on Gamepass, but it sold exceptionally outside of that too because of the quality to both titles. COD is just same old same every year and I haven’t bought an entry in years now. Although I am not the biggest FPS fan, watching Battlefield 6 videos and hearing about it from gamer friends, it would have likely been the title I played if I had to pick one. Microsoft should definitely hold back next year and try to release something a hellova lot better than this, because if they think sales figures are bad this time out, imagine what GTA6 will do to it. Maybe the ‘it’s too big to fail’ statement should be the next slogan used by Xbox officially..

I’m sad to see AI is being moved into such a prominent part of the development of games. The amazing amount of talented people that will surely lose their jobs if a pretty awful all round.

I miss the days when Capcom had a plethora of fighting games on the market, Capcom Vs and Rival Schools being some of my favourites, but the one series I would love to see make a comeback would be DarkStalkers!! The second game in the series is still one of my most favourite fighting games and I would love to see the characters get updated in the RE Engine! It would not effect Street Fighter too much in way of cannibalising sales, there are enough unique characters to allow for both to flourish I’m sure! Just keep BB Hood away from the game and I’d be super happy!! 😆

What was Microsoft saying, too big to fail? Hmm, releasing mediocre campaigns for a full price game is definitely a good way to go about it. They better hope that online is better or Battlefield may have more of a win over this than expected.

It would have been kinda cool if the console had Fortnite themed plates and perhaps the controller that was released a while back aswell. It is good to see that Sony are pushing the Disc based console however, more people to support Disc based media is good for the industry!! 😄

Perhaps this could work in a few places in the UK? A Brummie, Scouser or Geordie console would prove unplayable anywhere else and give Sony a nice boost on the way to Christmas! 😆

I’m really not the biggest COD fan, last game I played in the series was Black Ops 3 and that was really because of the awesome Zombie Maps, but I think the way the Platinum Trophy (or lack of) is being handled is not good for the majority of players that like unlocking completions with a Platinum. People I know who are trophy hunters tend to play the PS4 versions of these games nowadays as that has been a way to get a platinum at the end of their sessions and I can imagine that most of them will go for the PS4 version again.

£40?!? Err, no thanks. I’ll stick to the PS4 version and not worry too much about the upgrades that I won’t even read about!

I think Marathon may have a problem..

Monster Hunter Wilds was good for what it was, it released with enough content for its release and my own personal experience, it worked pretty well on the PS5. As soon as I got the platinum however, I stoped playing and I haven’t gone back. I probably would have if there had been new content with trophy support, but that’s just my way of gaming personally. Capcom definitely needs to upgrade the RE Engine for open world gaming and 100% work on making sure that when their games release, that they work well on all formats.

If Microsoft would release this on a disc based format with the full game on it instead of a game key, I would likely buy it. It would be surreal to have this in my collection with a PlayStation 5 logo on the box. Sony really needs to step in and insist that any game releasing on Disc needs to have a full playable game that could 100% be done offline, It’s the bare minimum that we should have. The people that download this are either not fussed having discs all over the place or have a PS5 that doesn’t have a disc reader, but people that still wish to own games on disc shouldn’t be punished.
