You missed an option in the what do you want next from god of war poll. Answer : Put the franchise in the vault for 10 years and work on something else.
We already knew that giving fans what they want in a game like Marvel Rivals works. Sony has not attempted to do that yet. Only by accident with Helldivers.
Whether Sony wants to acknowledge it or not, PC is where this all ends up. Its just a matter of when. What Xbox is doing with the "this is an Xbox" stuff is where its all going.
I got really lucky at Best Buy. I asked and the guy looked in the back and found one. It is frustrating that Sony hasn't ramped up the production of these things.
@Uromastryx Since game development is so bloated and time consuming now god forbid these companies trying to get things done quicker and cheaper... BTW where was all this outrage when automation was taking over trade worker jobs...
The days of consoles are over. Now look at this totally original game my amazing company Tencent is working on called Light of Motiram! Its totally not a Horizon ripoff at all and has amazing microtransactions!. Seriously why are we still listening to this guy? As far as I'm concerned his opinion is null and void after you sign a contract with the devil that is Tencent.
@get2sammyb I cant think of a more financial flop than this. Back in the day Daikatana was a very memorable flop. Destiny 1 was also considered a pretty big flop critically when it launched.
Hopefully this will be a lesson for Sony and other studios to listen to feedback and constructive criticism more. Tread lightly in the live service arms race. Its reminding me of the MMO race back in the day. Everyone wanted their own WOW but most of them failed.
Damn so they already make a "remake" of a game nobody was really clamoring for and it runs like crap to boot? Bold move Cotton, lets see how it pays off for them.
@Deoxyr1bose It never bothered me that Yasuke was the main character I was going to buy the game anyways. Granted it is weird that they want to tell a black story in feudal Japan... The big issue is that Ubisoft is so flippant with their respect of the culture. The half Tori gate is the latest misstep. The Japanese are very protective of their culture. Sucker Punch did it surgically where Ubisoft is wielding it like a cudgel.
I never planned to get a Pro. But after they showed Ghost of Yotei I was sold. It's amazing what a NEW first party game that you know will look exceptionally beautiful on it will change your mind.
There was a game that came out many years ago called GALAK-Z that has this same kind of 80's anime vibe. It was a roguelike and was really great. I'm not sure it did so well but I highly recommend it if you are looking for this type of aesthetic.
They really do just get what they deserve. Why couldn't Outlaws just be a Han Solo game? Then they take this wishy washy position where AC is "fiction" but we also want to respect the culture... Yet they are bumbling around disrespecting everyone and thinking they can hide behind the fact their main character is black. Its just so transparent and sad. Thank god we got Ghost of Yotei which the developers have a proven track record of actually caring about the culture of the game.

I don't know man... That Telltale game was so mid. Just leave the good stuff alone!
Re: Rumour: God of War Will Tackle Egyptian Mythology in Next Game

Re: Preview: Assassin's Creed Shadows Is the Golden Ticket Ubisoft Needs

Re: Black Ops 6, Warzone Ranked Play Will Be Less Sweaty Soon on PS5, PS4
I wish this would go the other way in Apex Legends. I had to quit the game because controller people had broken auto aim.
Re: Vintage Retro Sports Games Preserved on PS5, PS4 from 30th January
Who wants this...
Re: Sony Cancels Bluepoint, Bend Studio PS5 Games, One Being a Live-Service God of War Title
Sony is like a drug addict trying to chase the live service high. Doesn't care how it affects the family or friends.
Re: The Invisible Woman's Marvel Rivals Super Power Exposes Quickplay Bots
They gotta work on the matchmaking balance. It seemed fine when it first released but now there are lots of 1 sided matches.
Re: Marvel Rivals Will Grow Rapidly with a New Hero Being Added Every Month and a Half
@nomither6 It takes that long to come up with 1 original character...
Even games like League of Legends can do 4 or 5 a year.
Re: Marvel Rivals Will Grow Rapidly with a New Hero Being Added Every Month and a Half
No wonder the Overwatch devs are salty. takes them like a whole year to add 1 new hero.
Re: Marvel Rivals' First-Month Revenue Shows Sony Should Continue to Pursue Live Service on PS5, PC
We already knew that giving fans what they want in a game like Marvel Rivals works. Sony has not attempted to do that yet. Only by accident with Helldivers.
Re: Mister Fantastic's First Marvel Rivals PS5 Gameplay Looks, Well, Fantastic
Mr. Fantastic has basically the same kit as Zac from League of Legends.
Re: Talking Point: Is PlayStation Right in Saying PC Isn't a 'Major Risk' to Console Business?
Whether Sony wants to acknowledge it or not, PC is where this all ends up. Its just a matter of when. What Xbox is doing with the "this is an Xbox" stuff is where its all going.

Re: Alan Wake 2's Latest Update Tackles PS5 Pro Problems, Includes Toggle for PSSR
The new Balanced graphics mode is really good. They should have opened with it.
Re: Hideki Kamiya Cannot Describe Joy of Returning to Capcom for Okami PS5
Hopefully after Okami 2 is successful we can get another Viewtiful Joe.
Re: Deathstroke Completes Suicide Squad's PS5 Content Roadmap
Should have opened with Deathstroke. Might have gotten 10's of more players.
Re: Ex-PlayStation Boss Thinks the Days of Consoles Are Numbered
The days of consoles are over. Now look at this totally original game my amazing company Tencent is working on called Light of Motiram! Its totally not a Horizon ripoff at all and has amazing microtransactions!.

Didn't they say this about the last one?
Re: All The Game Awards 2024 Nominees Revealed, Astro Bot Up for 7 Awards
If Shadow of the Erdtree wins GOTY this entire award show is null and void. Its such a dumb decision to have DLC get nominated for GOTY.
Re: Sounds Like Microsoft Isn't Done with Gaming Acquisitions Just Yet
I'm telling you Microsoft is playing the long game. Once streaming games is the norm they will be positioned to take the #1 spot.
Re: Secret Level Creator Comments on Concord's Awkward Anthology Inclusion
Don't worry Tim Miller. Sony, and Firewalk are also totally baffled as to why nobody liked Concord...
Re: Indiana Jones Looks Like an Adventure Worth Waiting for on PS5
No waiting! Game Pass for me.
Re: Hands On: Cyberpunk 2077, Final Fantasy 16, and Metaphor: ReFantazio All Get a Boost on PS5 Pro
I was really hoping that FF16 would get a big pro update.
Re: PS5 Dominates UK Black Ops 6 Sales, As Game Pass Causes Xbox Share to Collapse
@Flaming_Kaiser I think that is what their plan is. Xbox is playing the long game. Eventually everything will be streaming.
Re: PS5 Dominates UK Black Ops 6 Sales, As Game Pass Causes Xbox Share to Collapse
Down on Xbox means they probably have new Game Pass subscribers which is probably what they want in the long run.
Re: Insomniac Developers Psyched for PS5 Pro, Enhanced Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is 'Phenomenal'
This isn't the first game on my list to replay but its nice to know that when I do it will look and run better on my pro.
Re: Concord Cost Sony Over $200 Million, And Didn't Make a Single Cent
@get2sammyb I cant think of a more financial flop than this. Back in the day Daikatana was a very memorable flop. Destiny 1 was also considered a pretty big flop critically when it launched.
Re: PS5, PC Flop Concord Never Returning, Studio Closed Down
Hopefully this will be a lesson for Sony and other studios to listen to feedback and constructive criticism more. Tread lightly in the live service arms race. Its reminding me of the MMO race back in the day. Everyone wanted their own WOW but most of them failed.
Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Enjoys the Series' Biggest Launch in Years
I've been playing it and enjoying it. Granted I'm only playing it because its on Game Pass but still its a good time.
Re: Mini Review: Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered (PS5) - A Hella Good Update
Love this game. I was always tiptoeing around hooking up the PS3 to play it again but now I don't have to hurray!
Re: Poll: One Year Later, How Would You Rate Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on PS5?
It was good and it was nice to get more Spider-Man. But if the next game is just more of this... not sure how I will feel about that.
Re: Ex-PlayStation Exec Shawn Layden Says There's Been a 'Collapse' in Gaming Creativity
Its hard to take this guy seriously since he went to Tencent.
Re: Until Dawn's Movie Lives to See Another Day on 25th April
Maybe this is an unpopular opinion but I think Until Dawn isn't good enough to deserve either a remake or a movie adaptation.
Re: 14 More Games Join PS Plus Extra, Premium Next Week
I'm a big Game Pass fan but it seems to me PS plus extra is getting more new games. Anyone else notice this?
Re: Until Dawn Is One of Sony's Worst Performing PC Ports to Date

Re: PS5 Pro Boost Is Pretty Clear Cut in The Last of Us 2 Remastered Comparison Video
Its kind of funny that digital foundry has probably sold more PS5 Pro than Sony has.

Re: Bickering Begins Over PS5 Pro's Inability to Sell Out
This is how it should be. Things shouldn't be sold out like the PS5 was for so long.
Re: Fans Appear to Be Coming Around to PS5 Pro

I loved the first one but I cant remember a damn thing about the story.
Re: 80s Anime, After Burner Fans Should Add Rogue Flight to Their PS5 Wishlist
