Dark humour and questionable themes? It’s a game don’t take it so seriously.

Review scores from the gaming media mean nothing anymore. We all know it and so do they. You can predict the scores years before the game even releases.

Skill up does not recommend. Thats surprising tbh.

That’s about the right price for a game like this imo. This just shows how much the market has shifted over the past 2 years. This would have been at least £60 not long ago.

Sony have lost the plot. I don’t recognise this company anymore!

This is how you build a live service game. Free updates and decades of support. This game will still be played on 20 years time.

It could the last console. Let’s be real there probably won’t be a market from the machines in 10 years time.

The industry is so so wary of wasting time and money on live service now. They actually now understand that most people that like to play these types of games are already attached to a certain game. It’s very difficult to attract the audience they need.

Sony are taking longer to learn this lesson

I really hope the oot remake is in the same sort of league as the resi 2 remake. They really need the flesh out that world a lot more.

People have a hate boner for the game because insomniac worked with sweet baby inc. every single studio that works with them will get harassed

I had super hero fatigue after the second avengers movie well over a decade ago.

Every word Sony say is either a lie or misinformation.

@Oram77 Sony don’t really offer the unique top level experience they relied upon as a usp. More people will choose value for money than you think! This illusion that Sony are in such a powerful position that they can’t fail is the same mindset of many failed companies.

@mvhess Xbox have better value via gamepass and the next box will have access to steam. Sony will be a locked system with a monopoly on sales. Fan boys can keep believing that the market leader can’t fail but history tells a very different story.

Sony have made an enemy of a proportion of the gaming public and the internet trolls. They bury their heads rather than address people’s concerns and just hope it will go away. It won’t go away! They say it doesn’t affect them but it will in the long term. This is Sonys Xbox one moment

What’s the price? Why so secretive about it?

It’s obvious that Sony have now decided to move away from showing much or anything live service related. That unfortunately leaves very little for any decent showcase. Will be years before the Sony we know recovers

Do we know the price of this yet?

Could you not embed some high resolution pictures of them?

@johnedwin those numbers aren’t true. Most Sony exclusives and aaa games are about 30-40% disc sales. Keep believing the Sony lies though.

They should never have settled because this is a slam dunk winner of a case. Sony know that hence the payoff. Either way the European Union will be going after them soon enough.

@HonestHick The ps6 will have huge headwinds. Pricing, discless, Sonys continuous drive into live service. I think a large chuck of players will be going to Xbox and a lot will just go to pc. Also the ps6 will be largely pointless as it will likely be cross generation for most of its life.

I’m I the only one who absolutely hate pushing in the thumb stick to run? It never feels responsive enough for me.

It can’t be more difficult to get used to than kcd2 combat.

I really don’t know why consoles do these things. I imagine only 5-10% of users will bother with it.

This boycott won’t actually do much. The launch of ps6 will be the biggest indicator of consumer sentiment.

Sony also said that marathon had good player retention. Don’t believe a word they say.

People have an irrational hatred for ai because vested interests have made it that way. Those ai enhanced characters do look more realistic.

Who could have seen this coming?! This is exactly why I bought mine before the price rise.

Gta6 has been made with the idea of it lasting 10-15 years. Bitching that it won’t run at 60fps on the base ps5 is hilariously stupid. If you don’t like it wait for pc or next generation consoles.

@Rich33 wait to play it on ps6 then.

That’s what £2billion dev budget gets you. I said in another thread that rock* will set a benchmark that no other developer could ever possibly achieve.

Most aaa games only manage to get 60fps in performance mode as a compromise. Expecting gta6 to get 60fps is actually moronic.

Rock* might well create a benchmark that can never be reached or broken by any other game developer in the world. To create this lever of detail and game mechanics you need seriously deep pockets which no one else will ever dare spend.

Looks great I will be picking it up day one. The weird hate boner that some people have for what looks like the most detailed game ever created is strange.

@knight_spg Sony have no buying power compared to the companies buying all the ram.

If Xbox also confirm that the next box will have access to steam the PlayStation will have some very serious competition next gen.

Do we really need remasters of games like this?

None of the leaks will have any cooling effect on sales anyway tbh.

Son will probably have to drop the requirement for a PlayStation account to play on pc. The masses seem to detest that.

People keep saying this game genre doesn’t ever sell much so expectations would have been low. What people seem to be forgetting is how much Sony would have had to pay for the license to make this game. It’s highly unlikely that it’s been a sales success

In that case I will get excited in two years.

They don’t happen very often either.

@ShadowRJ i thought load times and 60fps was meant to be the selling point of ps5?

The authorities need to start making a real example of these leakers. I’m talking 20 years in prisons for a few unfortunate people. The platforms that host the leaks also need huge fines. That’s the only way to deter people from doing it.

This definitely isn’t the uglification that we normally see in games. Character still looks great tbh.

Why would black myth be type success be a once in a generation phenomenon? Developers for the rest of the world have started to cook and that won’t stop. IMO they will get more and more regular because they provide things gamers actually want.

Western gaming media generally give games from non traditional countries lower scores and western games higher scores. It’s almost like the access media stuff you get accused of is true.

The resurgence of ps4 and ps3 games will explode in a few years. I can see games at places like cex selling out or certainly prices rising a lot. Games were also better back then anyway.

Sony admitting they are wrong 😳 are not April fools?!

@Dogbreath PlayStation make more money from PlayStation+ than they do anything else. This narrative that only the hardcore gamers are the ones providing all the revenue is moronic.

@Slayer25c This generation has had less than half of the single player exclusives the ps4 had.
