Makes sense since Stellar Blade was their first big foray into console gaming, and Shift Up feels confident enough to be able to release the sequel on multiple platforms day one.
Totally agree with Sammy, Bluepoint's closure is a huge misstep and a big mismanagement problem with Sony. I have a feeling we're going to see a few more studios close before the halfway point of the year
Legit baffling decision by Sony. Shame on Sony for having Bluepoint work on a live service game, cancel it, then leave them out to dry before closing their studio.
I watched a stream of the game a week or so ago and I was really surprised by it. I usually don't play gacha games, but this one definitely has my attention.
I know a few people that talk about how much they like playing games, but spend a lot of their free time watching YT shorts and doom scrolling without actually playing anything, so they're not entirely wrong on their analysis.
I don't see consoles going the way of complete discless, but due to the lack of "stable internet" doesn't really matter when every game nowadays, physical or digital, still require a significant download just to play.
I still love physical but went digital only a few years ago due to how much room a game collection can really take up. I still have my games ranging from PS1/N64 up to PS5 lol.
Gotta give props to Guerilla, the engine has really good performance without having to sacrifice much in the quality department. I'm glad Kojima and his studio used it.
I get both sides of the conversation. I get where Sammy is coming from where it may stump some of the games that'll release that could use the better archetype the PS6 has. But I can also understand when people say that they feel the PS5 hasn't hit it's ceiling yet as a console, especially with the PS5 Pro not fully utilizing the PSSR.
Personally I could care less if they're kept in or cut cause they're just short 20-25 second qte mini games, so they're not exactly the biggest deal in the entire game.
I mean, everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's just that I have a hard time taking someone's opinion serious when they use ai generated images for a thumbnail.

Re: MOUSE: P.I. For Hire Delayed Another Month on PS5 to Make It 'An Experience to Remember'
They can take as much time as they need.

Re: Here's Why Shawn Layden Thinks Sony 'Can't Get Away' with Making PS6 Digital Only
I don't see consoles going the way of complete discless, but due to the lack of "stable internet" doesn't really matter when every game nowadays, physical or digital, still require a significant download just to play.
I still love physical but went digital only a few years ago due to how much room a game collection can really take up. I still have my games ranging from PS1/N64 up to PS5 lol.

Re: Fans Are Already Debating Whether God of War's PS5 Trilogy Will Cut the Series' Sex Minigames
