I get it's dumb to even have a physical version when it's just a piece of paper in a plastic box, but the game will still sell like hot cakes so Rockstar and Take Two aren't going to all of a sudden switch stances on the minority that have an issue with it.
Games can be delisted but you can still download and play them, just people can't buy them after they're delisted. But thanks to people's efforts, there's always ways to download abandonware and play it, even after delisting. Hell there's even mods out there that help games that used stuff like Games for Windows or even shaky modern OS compatibility to work.
I know movies and shows are a lot scummier in the digital realm cause they can just remove everything you bought and shrug their shoulders as a response.
I get having some basic cosmetics, clothing/armor or hair styles being locked behind a deluxe edition, it's just some extra cosmetics that won't detract from the game for not having them.
But locking entire shops, that are still visible in the base game but are locked, is really scummy lmao. They're already in the game and they're locked behind a more expensive version. Rockstar is doing the classic "strip stuff from the game to be sold for more".
The biggest thing is when we see raw gameplay footage. Screenshots are cool and all but a video of someone playing the game will be a much bigger reveal.
Let 'em have it comments, they made a claim and had to backpedal on it, let 'em have it. Get out the pitchforks.
Jokes aside, the PS5 Pro should be able to utilize PSSR to handle 60 fps without losing much graphic fidelity, but I'm genuinely curious how the game will translate to the base PS5.
If the console releases next year I could see it being around or over a grand, but if it releases closer to let's say 2029, I could see it be lower than that.
I don't really know who Tupac is, likely because I'm not super big on rap music, but I am getting tired of seeing Snoop Dogg being everywhere over the last few years.
There's been some talk around the leak grapevine that Sony still wants to target a 2027 release for the PS6. If they do stick with that, I can imagine the PS6 being priced pretty high for a console.
Only thing people can do if that happens, is wait until a price drop when things start to calm down after a few years.
CDPR may have fumbled the initial release of Cyberpunk but they did a great job fixing it. Even Witcher 3 had some rough spots when it first released 11 years ago as well.
I've always loved Sony's single-player outings, I hold them in a special place in my heart, but I also had fun with some of the multiplayer additions that the single-player games had i.e. Uncharted 2 & 3, Last of Us, Killzone just to name a few.
What he said pretty much sums up how I feel from the whole fiasco. It's not entirely ruled out, just something they're monitoring and seeing what they want to port over moving forward.
I never played the original Persona 4 so I don't have the nostalgia for the OG cast, but not getting names like Troy Baker and Laura Bailey back sure is an odd one.
Usually the only people that buy drives bigger then 4tb are people that do a ton of data backups/archiving, but they find deals on drives and don't usually run to the newest, most expensive drive.
I've seen them find 20tb drives for just under a thousand dollars in some cases.
I was never the biggest fan of Phil Spencer during his tenure with Xbox, and now seeing how the purchasing spree they went on when he was the head honcho is falling apart, I feel my lack of faith in him was justified.
I do hope Xbox, and the studios that are facing imminent issues, can turn things around in the near future.

I hate to say it lol.

Re: Talking Point: Is GTA 6's Dodgy Ultimate Edition a Deal-Breaker?

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 639
I started a new playthrough of The Witcher 3 after finishing Blood and Wine a few years ago and the game is still fantastic.
I also plan on continuing Stonemachia, which is a really fun soulslike.
Re: Sony Will Continue to Chase Live Service Dream, Despite Mostly Disastrous Execution to Date
Sammy is right, when you look at the top played games on the platform, it makes total sense why they're pursuing live service.
You catch fire in a bottle, you're going to make bank, and that's what they have their eyes on.
Re: Price Hiked PS5 Endures Sony's Worst May in Over 25 Years
Makes me glad I have a launch PS5, a Switch 2 and I built my pc before this whole component crisis happened.

This is what I've been saying for a long while so I won't repeat it. Just a shame that this is causing everything to skyrocket in prices.
Re: PS5 Costs Too Much, But These New Xbox Price Increases Are Just Absurd
Sadly, I foresee all 3 major consoles going up in price again with the way things are going. If not late 2026, then early 2027.
Re: Mini Review: Dead or Alive 6: Last Round (PS5) - Dead on Arrival

It's a shame cause I wanted to try 6.

Guess Sony rushing to buy Bungie in response to Microsoft buying Bethesda bit back at them in the end (this was from the FTC vs Microsoft documents).

Re: GTA 6 Is a 'Single Player Experience', No Word on GTA Online at Launch
The way they word it, and knowing modern Rockstar, they'll likely charge for the online portion and release it standalone.
Re: GTA 6 Ultimate Edition and More Detailed Ahead of Pre-Orders Going Live
So essentially a bunch of stuff that should be unlockable in the base game but are locked behind a $100 edition.
Re: The Studio Behind This Acclaimed PS5 Metroidvania Is Closing Its Doors
Noooooo, I really enjoyed Mio, it was a fun little Metroidvania with a unique sketchbook shader to the art style.
What a shame.
Re: GTA 6 Confirmed to Be an $80 Game
I had a feeling it was going to be $80, no way Rockstar and Take Two would price the game below that.

Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds May Not Have Sold Well, But It Gets More Awesome by the Month
Nights being added made me really really want to buy the game.
I gotta be honest, it's sad the game isn't selling super well cause Sega is doing a great job with the characters they're adding.
Re: 5 Things That Surprised Me Playing Star Wars: Galactic Racer on PS5

Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, Shinobi: Art of Vengeance Sell Below SEGA's Expectations
I'd like to buy Crossworlds, but when it gets cheaper cause the initial price is a bit high for a racing game in my eyes.
Re: Opinion: The PS6 Cannot Come Out in This Era of $1,000+ Consoles
@NerdyPaul Then I hope people are ready to spend around $1k for a PS6.

Re: Valve's New Steam Machine Costs Almost Twice as Much as a PS5
Unless the whole component crisis starts to slow down, the PS6 and Helix will be priced close to a grand as well.
Re: The Last of Us 2 Is Finally Getting Multiplayer, But Naughty Dog Ain't Making It
I saw the video over the weekend and it's really impressive, big props to the modders for making this work.
I know people tend to s*** on PC all the time, but when modders have a ton of passion, they do really cool projects like this.
Re: The Witcher 4 Can't Be Another Cyberpunk 2077, and CD Projekt Red Knows It
CDPR may have fumbled the initial release of Cyberpunk but they did a great job fixing it. Even Witcher 3 had some rough spots when it first released 11 years ago as well.
Re: PS5 Maker Admits First-Party Single Player Games Are Its 'Core Strength'
I've always loved Sony's single-player outings, I hold them in a special place in my heart, but I also had fun with some of the multiplayer additions that the single-player games had i.e. Uncharted 2 & 3, Last of Us, Killzone just to name a few.
But the single-player is what I love.

Remember when pc players were unhappy about the psn requirement for Helldivers 2? Cause this should upset people as well.

Re: 'Some Analysts Believe Sony Is Considering Pushing the PS6 Back': Embracer Report Hints at Later Than 2027 Launch
I still think the PS6 will be very close to $1000 in price, especially if the component pricing doesn't stabilize.
@Slayer25c You can put a disc drive into a PC and it's really easy to do so. A person can even buy a disc drive that hooks up via usb for laptops.
Re: Vampire Survivors Dev 'Reviewing' Fortnite Collaboration Due to Epic's Use of Generative AI
Epic makes so much money from Fortnite, enough to easily hire artists to design assets/characters, but they'd rather just use ai to save money.
Good on the Vampire Survivor devs for taking a step back on the collab.

Re: 'There Are Other Xbox Studios in Trouble': Ominous Reports as Microsoft 'Bloodbath' Looms
I do want to watch Schreier's video on this to see how he sums up the whole ordeal.
But I'm genuinely curious to see what other studios will be on the block and the games they've released.
Edit: I listened to the video and good lord, do I feel bad for so many of the devs on these teams.
Re: Persona 4 Fans Torn Over Remake's Totally New English Voice Cast

Re: How About a New PS5 SSD Upgrade? That'll Be $3,000
Usually the only people that buy drives bigger then 4tb are people that do a ton of data backups/archiving, but they find deals on drives and don't usually run to the newest, most expensive drive.
I've seen them find 20tb drives for just under a thousand dollars in some cases.
Re: New Senua Game Reveal Used as a Way to Sell Ninja Theory to Suitors
I was never the biggest fan of Phil Spencer during his tenure with Xbox, and now seeing how the purchasing spree they went on when he was the head honcho is falling apart, I feel my lack of faith in him was justified.
I do hope Xbox, and the studios that are facing imminent issues, can turn things around in the near future.
