Talking about Expansions does take me back to the old pc days where Expansions were just that, expanding the game you currently have with a ton of new content.
The PS6 being under $1000 won't happen, I just don't see it anymore. People can try to jump through hoops on justifying why it won't, but I don't see it being under a grand.
Unless some big bubble pops and prices drop dramatically, but I don't see it happening.
I do have to agree with a few other comments, if a game sells really well and fast, the PR team is usually posting about it on their socials, but that isn't happening with Saros so the estimated sale numbers are likely correct.
Grounded 1 is a great game, just be warned if anyone wants to play online with friends that the online is pretty laggy for players that aren't the host, and the devs never fixed it for the second game either lol. But it is still a really fun game.
@SuperJag86 Yeah, it's a shame the Arkham games are kinda MIA at the time but at least the Lego Batman game still has the DNA in it. I definitely want to pick it up.
Lego Batman looks like a really good Legoficiation of the Arkham formula with a ton of lovely Batman references sprinkled through. Looks like a great game.
Forza isn't really my thing but it definitely just looks like "more Forza".
Granted I could see Sony pressuring Naughty Dog to get something out since it's been a number of years since they had an original release. This isn't a new thing with a publisher, but people blowing it up like Sony is going to close Naughty Dog is way too blown out of proportion.
But on the other hand, while Schreier is a reliable source, he needs to be careful what he says cause things can spiral like this.
I've been hopping between my 2nd playthrough of Elden Ring, Salt and Sanctuary and Darkest Dungeon so I'll probably continue that rotation until Mina is out next week.
I had my eye on the game ever since Digital Foundry did the DF Retro on Screamer. I tried the demo and while I really like the art direction, cyberpunk aesthetic and the music, I just can't get into the driving itself. I guess I just like racers like Wipeout and F-Zero that have just a little more, how do I say, arcade-y mechanics to them? Unless it's just me being a dumb-dumb with the game lol.
Glad to see the patches the devs have been putting out have helped improve the game. I have too much to play at the moment so I'll wait on buying it lol.
After hearing about how Break in is going to be the rebranded Fairgames, you know they're going to reveal it at the State of Play, and it'll likely have a deep dive trailer attached too that lasts way too long.
I'm not really sure Marathon has the legs to have the entirety of Bungie's staff on it so I have a feeling they're working on something new that's under wraps. Possibly a new Destiny or even a completely new IP. Guess we'll see what happens.
I like the dev'ss other games (Demon Turf and Demon Tide) and the demo made me want to pick it up, but with Mina out next week I may wait a bit before getting it.
Funny enough, if you buy the Warmastered Edition on Steam you get both the original and the remaster.
But I do think the last paragraph in the article is funny cause older games are still fun to revisit, especially when they get a resolution/framerate boost. Even older games that may feel dated are still worth revisiting with a fresh coat of paint.
Part of me actually hopes Microsoft reverts back to console exclusives, regardless of the "lid being open already" or "the dwindled brand", just to see people go up in arms about it, cause I feel they can easily do it and make the Helix enticing by doing it.
-Ongoing market conditions -Price increase on digital membership
Makes sense lol. Usually this happens when there's a lot of cancellations and a price increase is made to compensate for the loss and to keep shareholders happy. I cancelled my PS Plus years ago when the bigger price increase occurred.

Jokes aside, at least she's in the game lol.
Re: Rumour: Persona 6 Protagonist Leaks Catch Fans Off Guard, Reveal Whispers Intensify
If these pics are real, I do like the female protagonist's design more then the male.
He looks like someone that reminds the teacher that homework is due lol.
Re: The Witcher 3's New Songs of the Past Expansion Could Be as Big as Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty
Talking about Expansions does take me back to the old pc days where Expansions were just that, expanding the game you currently have with a ton of new content.
I'm excited though!
Re: Sudden Steam Deck Price Increase Pins More Questions on PS6

Re: Round Up: Mina the Hollower Earns Critical Acclaim, Best-Rated Game of 2026 in First Reviews
Super happy for Yacht Club! Filled out the backer survey and can't wait to get my code from the Kickstarter.
Re: We Still Don't Know Sales Figures, But Saros PS5 Player Stats Reveal Some Big Numbers

Capcom are on a roll.

I saw a bit of a stream of the game and it looks great. May sure is stacked for games.
Re: PS Plus Essential, Extra Games for June 2026 Announced
Grounded 1 is a great game, just be warned if anyone wants to play online with friends that the online is pretty laggy for players that aren't the host, and the devs never fixed it for the second game either lol. But it is still a really fun game.

Re: LittleBigPlanet Dev's Next PS5 Game Could Have Open World Aspects
Here's to hoping their next game can be a hit, I'd hate to see MM close.
Re: 'Take My Goddamn Money': PS5 Fans Seem Ready for Electrifying inFAMOUS Collection
I always said we need more of the games only on PS3 brought to modern platforms. They don't need anything crazy added to them, just be playable lol.
Re: Tekken 8 Grabs One of the Craziest Guest Characters Yet
Baki is a complete left field inclusion lol. I'm genuinely curious to see how he translates to the more realistic 3D art style of Tekken.

Re: Friday the 13th's Game May Be Gone, But Jason Voorhees Is Back in Dead by Daylight
Jason being in DbD is pretty fitting. Honestly glad he's there after his own game went kaput a few years ago.

Re: Bungie Is Not Making Destiny 3, Dev to Be Rocked by 'Significant' Layoffs
Feel bad for the devs laid off but tossing the rest of the staff to try and salvage Marathon is a waste in my eyes.
Crazy how Bungie used to be a top tier dev in the gaming space years ago.
Re: Amid Xbox Exclusives Uncertainty, RPG Fable Recommits to PS5
I'm looking forward to the new Fable, I really enjoyed Fable 1 and 2 way back in the day.
Re: Helldivers 2 x Warhammer 40K Is a Match Made in Heaven
"And now it’s broken the emergency glass on an upcoming Legendary Warbond"
Honestly with the timing, this seems pretty accurate lol.
The crossover is really cool but it's not enough to bring me back to the game personally.
Re: Talking Point: Sony, Don't Re-Reveal Fairgames at the Next State of Play
After hearing about how Break in is going to be the rebranded Fairgames, you know they're going to reveal it at the State of Play, and it'll likely have a deep dive trailer attached too that lasts way too long.
Re: Destiny 2 Support Ending After 9 Years, Sony Dev Bungie to Focus on a 'New Beginning'
I'm not really sure Marathon has the legs to have the entirety of Bungie's staff on it so I have a feeling they're working on something new that's under wraps. Possibly a new Destiny or even a completely new IP. Guess we'll see what happens.
Re: Bubsy 4D (PS5) - The Best of a Bad Bunch
I like the dev'ss other games (Demon Turf and Demon Tide) and the demo made me want to pick it up, but with Mina out next week I may wait a bit before getting it.
Re: Luna Abyss (PS5) - Don't Skip This AA DOOM-Like Shooter
I got an email from Steam that this released today, I may have to pick it up cause it looks pretty good.
Re: New Virtua Fighter PS5 Footage Leaks, And It's Blowing My Mind
The game looks really promising, props to RGG.
Re: Ahead of Humongous State of Play, Sony Trademarks New PS5 Game 'Break In'
I wonder if it'll be a type of extraction shooter based on the name, but that's just pure speculation on my part.
Re: PS Plus Price Increases Also Hit Extra, Premium Tiers - Here Are All the New Prices
Not really sure how anyone can defend a price increase on a digital subscription.
Re: Hellraiser PS5's Latest Trailer Is Too Gruesome for Sony's YouTube Channel
The game gives me Doom 3 vibes and I feel that's fitting for a Hellraiser game.
I'm looking forward to it.
Re: Lord of the Rings RPG from Kingdom Come: Deliverance Dev Confirmed
I still need to play KCD2 but I have no doubt the devs are a really good fit for a Lord of the Rings game.
Re: State of Play Confirmed for 2nd June, 60+ Minutes of Wolverine and PS5 Games
Curious to see if Sony can keep the momentum up from the last State of Play, cause the previous one was pretty good.
Re: PS5's Kusan: City of Wolves Is Basically Hotline Miami But Somehow Even More Extreme
I love how Cyberpunk-ish the fourth screenshot is.
I'll have to add the game to my wishlist cause it looks really cool.
Re: 'Every Detail Matters': Sony Drops New Promo for $900 PS5 Pro
Every detail matters
Even the $900 price tag
Oh - wait a minute...
Joking aside, I do miss the old days of really creative and even cheesy game/console ads, but that's just me being nostalgic for a bygone era.
Re: 'It's a Clear Upgrade': Why 007 First Light Will Look and Play Best on PS5 Pro
Kinda funny how Sony's consoles went from "The ps3's architect is very difficult to develop for" to "Yeah, we implemented PSSR in a day" lol.
I just find the contrast between the two funny.
Re: Free on Xbox, PS5 Owners Made to Pay $10 for New Darksiders Upgrade

Re: 'It Should Be Free to Play Online Games': PS Plus Price Squeeze Taken to Task by PS5 Owners
@Dragon83 Sony (as a whole) has a net worth of like $130 billion and Valve is around $8-$10 billion.
Re: 'It Should Be Free to Play Online Games': PS Plus Price Squeeze Taken to Task by PS5 Owners
I don't know why, but saying you're planning on “monetising the install base” to offset the increase in costs just sounds incredibly anti-consumer.
But I guess this is one of the ways they'll do that.
Re: PS Plus Price Increase Announced by Sony for New Members
-Ongoing market conditions
-Price increase on digital membership
Makes sense lol. Usually this happens when there's a lot of cancellations and a price increase is made to compensate for the loss and to keep shareholders happy. I cancelled my PS Plus years ago when the bigger price increase occurred.
Re: Sony Reportedly Confirms Shift Back to PS5 Single Player Exclusive Games
Sony ya messed up, all I wanted was the Demon Souls Remake on PC before ya changed stances lol.
Ah well, I can just toss the disc into my PS5 and play it, I've had it since I got my PS5 on launch day.
Re: Gravity Rush 2 Fans Find a Way to Play Sony's Neglected PS4 Classic at 4K, 60fps
I love both Gravity Rush games, it's a shame the ip has been dormant since the second game's release.
But I'll have to give the game's another playthrough via emulator.
Re: GTA 6 Originally Meant to Launch 18 Months Ago, But We're Still Waiting for Trailer 3 and Pre-Orders
I could see the game delayed into q1 2027 if Rockstar were to delay it again.
