@wildcat_kickz i find that refreshing. I’m sick of central hubs having 30 people to talk to and walk around. Let’s face it games should be about the actual game not fancy animations and masses of work for the quest givers.

Oh the drama! Uk employment law says they can’t have sacked them without reason. If they were genuinely sacked for nothing they can go to tribunal. I somehow doubt they will though.

Another hit piece on physical media. 2in 24 hours nice work. Jk

I’ve never seen one in the wild and I don’t know a single person that owns one. I guess this was only ever meant to serve a small proportion of the user base so that why it’s classed as a success.

Also let’s be real 2-3% of ps5 owners have purchased one of these. Not sure that’s mega hit territory. The vita sold between 10-16m and was considered a mega flop. (I know that had a completely different library)

Fascinating! Now why aren’t cost saving passed on to the consumer instead of taken by Sony? Quite frankly screw the planet!

@AhmadSumadi pubg is always in the top5 games on steam. Has been for years! They are even making the game in an entirely new engine

Microsoft might be making the right move distancing themselves from gated systems. If Sony follow the same path I’ll never buy a console again. You can get decent under the tv pc’s these days and I’d rather make the saving of buying games cheaper on pc than giving Sony money for nothing

@nessisonett what’s wrong with replacing voice actors? No industry has a god given right to exist. Automation is a fact of life.

Such a strange complaint! It is meant to feel dangerous above ground and most of the quest items complete regardless of you extract or not so to claim it’s a waste of time is nonsense.

@Daleaf playing solo has been great so far. Most other solo players on the map are willing to either live and let live or team up.

@Fizza most reviewers aren’t impartial anymore. Best looking for YouTuber reviews rather than websites all owned by one group

So glad I skipped the ps5 pro. Huge waste of money apart from one or two games that are optimised for it.

Not had any noticeable frame drops on my standard ps5. Graphics are incredible, immersion and atmosphere are brilliant.

No cue at all for me. Player for a couple of hours last night no issue.

Loved the aesthetic of the trailer but until I see some gameplay I can’t get hyped.

Nice back from the gym I’ll be joking the cue

Trying to beat tencent in court will be tough. Similar to nintendos situation with palworld. In fact these things can make the clone game more popular

Small form media is competition for people’s leisure time. But let’s be real that’s no different from saying people playing football or going to the gym is competition.

Gaming biggest problem is bloat. Devs make games which you are incentivised to login and play everyday or you fall behind. That will drive most people away. They should go back to making stand alone pick up and play games again. Why do you think we have so many indie hits these days.

Seems this one is struggling for players according to most metrics you can find on internet.

Watched quite a bit of this yesterday. The game mode adds nothing new from other br’s and is actually a little boring (to watch) felt very similar to warzone

It’s laughable thinking TikTok is their competition. It’s like saying the gameboy’s competition was the Boy Scouts. Kids with an attention span of a gnat won’t play games like halo!! They will play games like candy crush (if anything) maybe Microsoft should make more short format games for mobile instead of spending billions on buying up all aaa devs.

“Harming the teams work cycle” sounds like a bunch of people trying to protect their jobs. It won’t work! Medium term 50% of jobs will be gone for this type of work.

@Jammer yeah I absolutely detest the look of my ps5. First thing I done was buy they black cover plates for it. Still a hideous looking thing.

Loved the ps2 days. Easiest console of all time to jailbreak. At the same time home cd burning was becoming a thing. Every week I would go to blockbuster and hire a bunch of new games. Make copies of them all 😬

@SeaDaVie I watched an interview with one of the devs. He actually said it was 10-15% of day one content.

Epic! Love some BR madness

The server slam only had 10% of release day content. This game will do well for a long time. I feel this might be the first extraction shooter that gains a casual audience. This game will do what Marathon was hoping to do.

They can’t yet but they sure as hell will in a few years. All entertainment mediums will face this issue.

Edit: for the people saying AI will never to able to create like a human. AI will 100% be more intelligent and capable to learning on its own writhing 5 years. At that point Ai will train new Ai’s that will drastically improve rapidly.

Ppv esports 🤣 no thanks

The arc raiders beta was only 10% of the release day content. The game is going to have a long long tail

Arc raiders are about to eat marathons lunch. Not sure where the first big win for Sony’s live service push will come from.

“We are all seeking to meet people where they are” the threat to gaming from other platforms like TikTok is very real. The problem is that while going multi platform will sell more games to a broader market it won’t stop the shift away from gaming to Twitter forms of media.

More and more people are moving away from traditional style games to touch control mobile games. Spending billions to buy Bethesda won’t matter unless they are told to make mobile games.

I don’t trust Bethesda to make it a good game. 3 and new vegas were the only real rpg’s 4 really didn’t have many options of play style. Apart from the three factions most convention choices were pointless.

Kill gamepass would be the best thing to do. Or at least get rid of day one games.

Why would anyone use this feature?

I’ve never seen one in real life

Incredible what happens when a developer actually commits to making something special rather than having teams split focus and churn out yearly slop.

@Kidfunkadelic83 are we still allowed adverts for fast food in the uk?

All these years later and street fighter 2 is still the definitive edition.

I’m looking forward to playing the game in a couple of years when I can pick it up for £20. I do not see enough difference from the first game to pay the current asking price.

That not like EA! I’m shocked

The least excited I’ve ever been talking about a new generation of gaming. Certainly won’t be getting it until a few years after release (for the first time ever)

@ShogunRok being offered a job at the new studio doesn’t mean much. I’m sure if he was going in at the same level as before or above that level he would have taken the role. Also I was taking the p with the original comment

The success was so successful they sacked the guy who made all the success happen. Incredible

We don’t really need much more power for graphics. The next gen should just focus on making all games run at min 60fps in 4k. I’m not sure how well the next gen sell. I can see console sales starting to tail off as people move to Pc.

Watching someone on twitch and the 220,000 cue they were in took about 10 minutes to enter lobby. It’s not like people are waiting hours.

Great for higher level players. Awful news for the regular player that will now be destroyed every game.

I will buy it in 2030 at the earliest.

@Judal27 you can’t teach people self control. That’s the exact reason these companies spend billions of dollars in research about how to trigger human natural reactions. It happens to you all day from advertising to the layout of a supermarket. Hence the reason more people are now going bankrupt from gambling and we have more obesity that ever before. We need laws to protect people from themselves.

Unless you want to live in a world where corporations suck people dry like vampires.

Not my games (too old and slow) but as someone that watches on twitch I found battlefield 6 a much more interesting watch.
