Actually insane how stacked September and October are. I have a feeling something will be delayed to December, especially if GTA6's November release sticks.
Halo merch usually sells like hot cakes. I remember seeing this one Chief statue of his Halo 1 armor years and years ago that kept going in and out of stock, and eventually after completely selling out, it popped up on eBay for over $1k.
I have a lot of nostalgia for the old game cases, maybe it's because my brain associates them with getting a new game as a kid and how exciting it was.
@MrPeanutbutterz But where's your proof on Xbox being "torn apart" though? I don't care what Xbox does in regards to their brand cause I play their games on Steam anyways, but I do like that they're showing they want to be competitive in the console market cause in the end the customers win when there's competition, not a monopoly.
@Naughtyottsel92 Yeah but a public statement would've been better instead of leaks and meetings since it 100% reaffirms a company's stance moving forward.
@Naughtyottsel92 Honestly Hulst should've made a public statement about it instead of Schreier reporting what Hulst told his staff in a meeting, which is a better thing to do cause it puts rumours to rest about it. But that's just my opinion on it.
@XenonKnight What will you do if the PS6 is over $1k as well then? Buy it cause it has that good ol' fashioned Playstation logo on it, regardless of price? We have no idea what consoles will be priced at until they're officially revealed.
"Our big multiplayer games, our big live service games are going to continue to be multiplatform."
No different then what Schreier reported for Sony and their single-player game and multiplayer/live service games.
Seriously how is Xbox getting torn apart by this when we went through this same thing regarding Sony's PC port back and forth with Screier's reports a few months ago! At least Xbox is being straight forward about their stance on exclusivity, Sony never came out and said they're pulling back on PC ports.
I mean, Schreier reported that Sony were planning on PC ports of Yotei and Saros before they were canned once they changed their decision, so Xbox cancelling the PS5 port of E-Day isn't really that different.
They probably want to show that the games they're revealing will be on other platforms, and the best way to do that is to show it at a neutral gaming event.
Shift Up wants to self-publish after seeing how successful Stellar Blade's pc port was received last year, Capcom have had success with day and date multiplatform releases, and Square are moving away from console exclusivity for their big time titles.
On a side note, people worrying about a company's "brand" kinda tells you that they worry more about bragging rights then the games that are releasing.
On a second side note, I do think the SGF was a banger with the announcements this year.
I do hope Xbox can turn things around when the Helix releases. Customers win when there's competition among companies, and in this day and age, there needs to be more competition.
@zhoont Yeah, all the improvements sound neat but they never address any way to gain super credits outside of endless grinding or whipping out the credit card. It's one of the reasons I dropped the game, due to how much of a grind fest it is and the fact that my friends want to play with the fun equipment/weapons but can't unless they sink 50-75 hours grinding.
Granted there's an endless number of Wolverine figures/statues out there, and there will likely be official Wolverine items either close or after release.
People accuse Xbox of throwing money around to keep things off of other platforms, and yet Sony is essentially doing the same thing and it's getting glossed over.
I think the big problem is we're not seeing the eye popping, unique or even innovative first party titles from Sony in the last few years. Astro was really the only one, their other outings are either safe sequels or are viewed as being very samey to each other.
That and they never drop the games enough on a sale so people that don't want to spend $70-$80 on them will just get something else.

Re: The PS5 Release Schedule for Fall 2026 Is Now Beyond a Joke
Actually insane how stacked September and October are. I have a feeling something will be delayed to December, especially if GTA6's November release sticks.
Re: Poll: Vote for Your PS5 Game of the Month (May 2026)
Mina for me since I have yet to play Lego Batman or 007.
Re: Halo PS5 Collector's Edition Instantly Sells Out, and for Good Reason
Halo merch usually sells like hot cakes. I remember seeing this one Chief statue of his Halo 1 armor years and years ago that kept going in and out of stock, and eventually after completely selling out, it popped up on eBay for over $1k.
Re: Rumour: Insider Hints The Simpsons Hit & Run Remaster 'Is Happening'
@lessthanleo Oh shoot, I remember seeing that Futurama mod. It was really impressive, I'll have to do that.
Re: Rumour: Insider Hints The Simpsons Hit & Run Remaster 'Is Happening'
It would be cool to see Hit and Run get a remaster for modern platforms.
Re: Random: This Publisher's Promoting Its PS5 Lineup with Retro Box Art
I have a lot of nostalgia for the old game cases, maybe it's because my brain associates them with getting a new game as a kid and how exciting it was.
Re: Stealth Royalty Thief: The Dark Project Steps Out of the Shadows Remastered on PS5
I only played that one Thief game that released like 10 years ago, so I'll definitely pick this up.
Re: SEGA Provides More Detail After Generative AI Sours Crazy Taxi: World Tour PS5 Announcement
@Aba I was really hoping to see Jet Set Radio as well lol, especially with the leaks that cropped up.
Re: Stellar Blade Dev Explains New Hero Design, Praises Sony's Publishing Support
I do have a feeling Eve will appear later in the game as well, just curious on the context of the story!
Re: All Your Favourite PS5 Live Service Games Are Getting Big Updates
I still haven't tried Fallout 76, I've had it in my library for years but never got around to playing it lol.

Re: 'There's a Finished Version of Gears of War PS5 Sitting on a Drive': New Game E-Day Was Almost Done
@XenonKnight What will you do if the PS6 is over $1k as well then? Buy it cause it has that good ol' fashioned Playstation logo on it, regardless of price? We have no idea what consoles will be priced at until they're officially revealed.

This whole thing is exhausting.
Re: 'There's a Finished Version of Gears of War PS5 Sitting on a Drive': New Game E-Day Was Almost Done
@XenonKnight Bruh Xbox isn't a dying platform, they're not Sega post Sega Dreamcast.

Re: Persona 6 Finally Announced for PS5 with a Surprisingly Dark Reveal
So far I like the aesthetic they're going for, really curious to see more.
Re: First-Person Soulslike Valor Mortis Adds to PS5's September of Dread
I remember trying the playtest for this a while back and it's really fun, happy it's releasing in a few months.
Re: 'These Are Not Timed Exclusives': Xbox Says Gears of War, Clockwork Revolution Are Never Coming to PS5
Well, Xbox has every right to do what they want with their exclusives.
Re: Poll: Who Had the Best Not-E3 Livestream This Week?
SGF was the strongest of the three then Xbox followed by Sony in my opinion., but we have a lot of good games to look forward to.
Re: Spyro Returns on PS5 in A Realm Beyond, His First Original Game in Nearly 20 Years
Awesome to see Spyro back!
Re: Gears of War: E-Day Is Not Coming to PS5, Xbox Confirms Console Exclusivity
@UltimateOtaku91 There's been a Steam page for E-Day since it was first revealed, that hasn't changed.
Re: Halo PS5 Finally Brings Master Chief to Sony's System Next Month
I plan on playing it on PC. It looks like fun and like Halo.
Re: Gears of War: E-Day Is Not Coming to PS5, Xbox Confirms Console Exclusivity
People will be salty about this but at least Xbox just flat out says it'll be a console exclusive.
Re: 'Impeccable' Sci-Fi Horror Cronos Adds New PS5 Story DLC This Year
I still need to get around to playing Cronos.
Re: Rumour: Gears of War: E-Day Was Coming to PS5, Xbox Cancelled Port Very Recently
Lmao the irony in some of the comments here.
Anyways we don't have long until the showcase, so I'm excited to see more of E-Day, I always enjoy some Gears.
Re: PS5's Until Dawn 2 Has Been in Development for At Least 4 Years Already
Glad for the peeps that enjoy the first Until Dawn, they're not my cup of tea to play but they are more enjoyable being watched on like a stream.
Re: Reaction: Some PS5 Fans Think SGF Showed Sony Losing Its Grip on Third-Parties
They probably want to show that the games they're revealing will be on other platforms, and the best way to do that is to show it at a neutral gaming event.
Shift Up wants to self-publish after seeing how successful Stellar Blade's pc port was received last year, Capcom have had success with day and date multiplatform releases, and Square are moving away from console exclusivity for their big time titles.
On a side note, people worrying about a company's "brand" kinda tells you that they worry more about bragging rights then the games that are releasing.
On a second side note, I do think the SGF was a banger with the announcements this year.
Re: PS5 Ports from Microsoft Continue with Grounded 2, Out in August
@Naughtyottsel92 The first game was, this is early access for the sequel.
Also crap? Come on lmao.
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 Named Revelation, Job System Gameplay Blows Minds
Very cool to see how Square is evolving the games with each entry. Super excited.
And I'm hyped to see the weapons in their remake glory! I've been waiting a long time to see them.
Re: Street Fighter 6 Does What Tekken Won't - Add Final Fantasy 7's Tifa
Super excited to see Tifa in the RE Engine.
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate Summer Game Fest 2026?
It was fantastic. A lot of awesome announcements.
Re: Stellar Blade: Blood Rain Is the PS5 Sequel You've Been Waiting For
Shift Up are absolutely cooking! This looks amazing!
Re: Unlike Other Sony Exclusives, Wolverine PS5 Will Launch with New Game Plus Day One
Makes sense for the game to ship with ng+ since it's a more linear game and not open world.
Re: After Describing Them as 'Antiquated', Xbox Now Says It 'Must Have Exclusive Content and Services'
I do hope Xbox can turn things around when the Helix releases. Customers win when there's competition among companies, and in this day and age, there needs to be more competition.
Re: 'We Are So Back': Helldivers 2 Dev Lays Out Plans to Improve Game
@zhoont Yeah, all the improvements sound neat but they never address any way to gain super credits outside of endless grinding or whipping out the credit card. It's one of the reasons I dropped the game, due to how much of a grind fest it is and the fact that my friends want to play with the fun equipment/weapons but can't unless they sink 50-75 hours grinding.
Re: The Witcher, Cyberpunk Dev's Mysterious 'Hadar' Is an 'Immersive' and 'Emotional' Open World Game
Always looking forward to CDPR's games.
Re: Elden Ring's New Tarnished DLC Pack Locked in for August
About $3-$4 for the Tarnished Edition content isn't bad for what it is.
Re: Amazon Is Stepping in to Publish Future James Bond Games After Smash Hit 007 First Light
Welp, Amazon will likely ruin a good thing that IOI has going.
Re: Anticipated Avatar Fighting Game Delayed, But Only 3 Weeks
Hopefully this game will have the polish when it releases, I really enjoy Avatar.
Re: There's No Collector's Edition for Marvel's Wolverine PS5, and Fans Aren't Happy
Granted there's an endless number of Wolverine figures/statues out there, and there will likely be official Wolverine items either close or after release.
People just need to chill lol.
Re: PS5 Early Access Pre-Orders Truly Are Getting Out of Hand
People accuse Xbox of throwing money around to keep things off of other platforms, and yet Sony is essentially doing the same thing and it's getting glossed over.
It's still scummy, regardless of platform.
Re: Cory Barlog Now Head of Creative at God of War Dev, Guiding the Long-Term Vision of the Series
I always liked Balrog, he does a great job and has a great vision for the series.
Re: God of War Laufey Is the Next Main Entry in the Saga, 'Coming Soon' to PS5
The game looks cool, I'm all for playing as Faye and the story synopsis sounds good, just not big on the yapping cube and sword.
Re: Rayman Returns in a Stunning Modern Retelling of Legends on PS5
I think the game looks fantastic and I'm all for more Rayman. The original game is still available in case anyone doesn't want the remake.
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate State of Play for June 2026?
In all honesty, pretty meh. A lot of the third party games looked great but the first-party lineup from Sony was pretty mid.
Re: All the Best Toy Story Games Are Coming Back with Retro Revivals on PS5
I have a ton of nostalgia for the Toy Story 2 game so I'm glad that's in the collection.
Re: You've Got to Give This Hand Drawn Gem a Shot on PS5, Free Demo Out Now
Really cool that there's a demo, I've had it on my wishlist since it was first announced.
Re: PS5 First-Party Sales Have Fallen Sharply, But It Doesn't Tell the Full Story
I think the big problem is we're not seeing the eye popping, unique or even innovative first party titles from Sony in the last few years. Astro was really the only one, their other outings are either safe sequels or are viewed as being very samey to each other.
That and they never drop the games enough on a sale so people that don't want to spend $70-$80 on them will just get something else.
