I already own Dead Island 2 & Tomb Raider 4-6 Remastered. Most of the games Sony has been putting on PS+, either I already own or are games I wouldn't play.
Getting back content that was already paid for. Bungie is one of the worst devs when it comes to milking it's fanbase. The fact they tried to lie about that by blaming everyone else. It was never Bungie fault, Bungie where the "victims" of publisher's like Activision. Sony made a huge mistake buying Bungie
But Gear's of War: Reloaded and Halo Combat Evolved didn't sell that well on Playstation. I wonder why GOW: Reloaded didn't sell well? As someone pointed out it felt dated that's because the game is dated by 20 years, it came out in 2006. As for Halo Combat Evolved that's a 25 year old game. I am not surprised game's that are decade's years old are not setting PlayStation on fire. But apparently some people are.
I pre-ordered Marvel’s Wolverine but haven't played it yet. I have done my best to keep away from spoilers. But I have read the game handholds you through the game, obviously I don't know how true this is. With a statement from Insomniac saying they are listening to the community I am hoping a lot of this handholding stuff is patched out by the time I play it. I have a big backlog and with all these brilliant games releasing I haven't got enough time to play them on release date, even though I buy them on release or have them on pre-order. I haven't touched Gear's of War E-day yet, obviously that's on my XSX I am gutted that it didn't release on the PS5. I could have brought Forza Horizon 6 but I am buying that for the PS5. I'll will probably buy Forza Horizon 6 on sale on XSX to add to all my other Forza Horizon games & achievements.
I had it on pre order for months but I am not playing it just yet as I am playing BO7 Zombies EE's before the super EE releases. I am also playing GOW Ragnarok, I been playing thought my back log. I have loads to get through plus new games and I've got around 5 games on pre order a few of them release early 2027. It's a good problem to have. I have pre ordered the new Gear's of War, I was hoping it was going to release on Playstation. But no, sadly. So I pre ordered it on my XSX unlike Playstation they don't take your money until 10 days before the game releases stupid policy.
This alone would have been the main reason permanent exclusive. If you are funding a AAA game it's only reasonable it's exclusive to your platform. Physint is going to be a different game releasing on Xbox then what it would have been releasing on Playstation. Ashame.
It looks amazing but where's the over the top character's that's GTA's known for. The level of detail is amazing, I feel GTA going for a more realism towards the older GTA games. Really looking forward to it.
Rockstar needs to remake or remaster GTA4 with all the DLC also.
I think it's delusional. The vast majority of gamers are buying their games digitally. It's not Sony you have to convince it's the majority of gamers. Good luck doing that when like you they've sent money on their digital accounts. PC is fully digital, Xbox and Nintendo are going to follow suit.
Obviously it doesn't look the same. It's a Vertical slice for the sake of marketing and hype, a cinematic trailer to build massive player wishlist numbers. Hence why it looks so polished even though the game was in an earlier stage of development when that trailer was released.
She obviously had problems. Addiction is a horrible thing to go through. To compound that losing a younger brother just 3 years ago. Very sad news, especially for the parents and relatives. R.I.P.
I don't use social media. The only thing's I use is Push Square and YouTube that's it. It's obvious people are taking a pop at Wolverine because it's made by Sony, Sony being the "bad gays" at the moment. You also shouldn't believe everything you read on social media. As negativity sells and quite a few of these "Gamer's" are probably aren't even game's.
It not really surprising considering that's where the majority of sales will come from.
"PS5 users are far more willing to pay the modern $70 base price for major blockbuster releases compared to Xbox players, who frequently wait for titles to arrive on subscription services, or PC players, who heavily favor free-to-play ecosystems."
Stupid data as it only tells you people who are playing on launch day. I pre-ordered the game and haven't played it yet because I am finishing another game first.
" instead of doing a Square Enix, it appears Ubisoft"
Ha ha. That's true Square Enix are never happy it seems with game sales. I am happy for Unisoft they make some great games. I pre ordered Black Flag it's a brilliant game.
Remember when digital games where supposed to be cheaper than physical games. This was argued as a selling point for digital games. When in reality digital games where just as expensive. In fact physical games ended up being cheaper than some digital games on the PSN Store.
Anyone would think physical games are ending in two weeks and not two years. Obviously Sony has plans which I would imagine will become more apparent as the time comes closer. Xbox can only digitise there own first party game's just like Sony, it'll be down to 3rd party publisher's wether you can digitise there game's or not. But I would imagine Sony & Microsoft have already been in talks with 3rd parties about this disc-less future.
I am confused I don't know what people expect from a port, they literally told you it was a port. I am also not surprised the two most popular Black Ops games are selling well. Native ports will always look better than the original game's and that running on XSX via BC. And be using better servers which I would imagine will be almost unplayable now, because of hacker's.
Anyone who thought R* would leave money on the table by not releasing as physical version are nuts. Like I said in my other post. I am betting this is due to spoilers. They don't want the internet flooded with spoilers from people who got the game before Nov 19th.
"Rockstar has confirmed there will be no disc version of GTA6 at launch."
There will be a real physical version but not for launch. If I was a betting man they are selling GTA6 digitally only at launch to stop anyone getting the game early and leaking it online.
The PS5 with a disc drive is around £569, without a disc drive it's £519.99 right now. Yet the base PS6 will cost almost double that £1000? How?Where are people getting a BASE PS6 will cost £1000. More like £700-800 max
It makes no sense to delay the PS6. 2027 or 2029 it'll still be the same console. Just extend the PS5 lifecycle, release the PS6 so the hardcore can buy the PS6. And other people can just wait until they want to buy the PS6.
I was hoping the Platiunm was going to be a challenge to get. I very happy about this. Platinum's should be a challenge. 1) it adds relay value. 2) getting the platinum is a achievement, over people getting cheap games that give away platiunm's to boost there Platinum's.
"the realities of AAA gaming means they are now following the sony model"
@trev666 This has to be a troll. Gear of War E-Day, Halo Campaign Evolved, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Age of Empire all Xbox Game Studios. Literally all either remakes or sequels. Microsoft Flight Simulator alone has something like 15 mainline entries.
The game's modifiers are cheats. I can totally understand why they've disabled trophies for using cheats. I also don't regard cheat modifiers as a "difficulty setting", and obviously nor do the developers.
I brought LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight about two days before it released. I don't really play the Lego game's despite having some in my backlog brought in a sale. With this being Batman and from what I've seen of it, I couldn't help myself love Batman. Definitely be playing it soon.
I've got Grounded Fully Yoked Edition. I was going to buy Warhammer 40,000: Darktide the other day as it's in the sale. Lately I have the games on PS+ apart from one that is today.
Hell yes.. I have Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 2 pre-ordered. I love Metal Gear Solid I grew up playing them. I remember when Metal Gear Soild: Guns of the Patriots released and people moaned about the cutscene's. I love everything about these games.
