Will this cloud streaming work on the PlayStation Portal??

Just stopping in to add to the Returnal praise. Returnal is phenomenal. Thought for sure God of War Ragnarok would dethrone it, but it didn’t happen. Returnal is still my favorite PS5 game and one of my favorite games in the past 5 to 10 years.

It’s becoming increasingly rare that I can avoid cringing from a Phil Spencer comment. He is so disingenuous and full of sh*t, it’s baffling to me that there’s even a single person who is incapable of seeing through it. Idt many people are big fans of Jim Ryan, but at least he doesn’t try to act like he’s some philanthropic good guy who’s sole goal is to help all gamers.

MSFT strikes again with its BS obfuscation of the truth when it comes to exclusivity. They’ve been doing this for years. I’m quite certain that if Sony used tactics like this, people would be up in arms, but somehow MSFT gets away with this, as well as things like buying up the entire industry, and somehow maintains their reputation.

As for the exclusivity, MSFT tries to make it seem like they have exclusivity even when they don’t, so I would say there’s no way they wouldn’t be screaming exclusivity from the rooftops if it were the case.

@thefourfoldroot1
I would assume their goal is streaming to a phone or iPad—or their likely-in-development cloud streaming handheld. Otherwise, what’s the point?

@gollumb82 Their decision not to make it playable via PC is truly confounding. I’ve never played a game on PC in my life, but PSVR2 isn’t making people buy PS5s—or at least not many—so why the hell not put it on PC?

@dschons Ah, gotcha. Thanks.

@Bez87 Making your PS studios/games list even more impressive:
-ND has at least 3 projects in the works (confirmed this with their recent statement about Factions, mentioning their other in-development “games” in addition to Factions)
-You forgot Guerrilla, who has at least 1-2 games that are likely 2024 release, in addition to Horizon 3
-You forgot Insomniac, who has Wolverine and likely the next Ratchet game, in addition to SM2.

RE: your comment: “ But we do know for a fact
Bend has a game in the works
Santa Monica has a game in the works
Suckerpunch has a game in works
Bluepoint may have 2 games in the works
HouseMarque has a game in the works
Naughty Dog has 2 games in the works
Team Asobi has a game or 2 in the works”

@Bez87 Yeah, missing some big ones, e.g. Returnal (still my favorite ps5 game) and Ratchet

@dschons I’m a Patron of Sacred Symbols. Which video was it?

@AdamNovice But Naughty Dog has approx 50% more employees—approx 750 to Insomniac’s 500 and change.

That being said, ND also has several projects going on, currently—2, possibly even 3.

For the banner for this article…John Wick Hex is the game on the left, but what is the game on the right with the lady with the gun?

@Slippship I didn’t hate BotW, but I was extremely underwhelmed by it. I truly have no idea what people found to be so life-changing about it. I remain confounded to this day.

No link to where we can preorder??
