@bindiana What "full potential" do you think that's yet to be tapped? The PS5 started hitting roadblocks years ago and we have seen plenty of games that are impossible for last gen consoles. Also the past 3ish years has been mostly current gen only with the only smaller indies and the odd AAA game like COD that has seen last gen support.
@Boomers-r-us Then use one of the other many weapon types like Switchglaive or Tonfa. Also Nioh is a nearly 10 year old franchise and has sold really well so its hardly jumping on a "bandwagon".
@Northern_munkey To be fair its easy to not notice as Shadows wasn't built with it in mind. In fact manuel jump has been pretty absent since Unity i think maybe Syndicate. Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla never had it and Mirage only got it last year when they dropped the new expansion for it.
@belmont I don't care that you personally went PC i'm talking about the majority not a small minority. 94M PS5's have been sold and i bet most of those players have no interest in PC gaming. The Internet and "hardcore" gamers really do love inflating how important they are and PC gamers really do think they matter more then anyone else.
@TrollOfWar Majority of players won't be on PC because the majority of consoles players DON'T WANT to PC game. This is what PC players and now Xbox players don't understand console players choose to console game. Also the new Xbox will no doubt cost so much its going to end losing MS money and pushing even more people over to PS. Seriously anyone whose serious about moving to PC gaming will just get a PC not an overpriced console pretending its a PC from a company on the verse of closing the console side of its gaming business.
@JDINCINERATOR Dude stories in games 20+ years back were rarely good, yes some were good but for the most part they weren't great. I mean you never had anything off the level of Red Dead 2, The Last of Us, God of War 2018, E33, Kingdom Come 2 and so on.
People have this flawed rose tinted view of gaming 20 years ago and had forget all the flaws while ignoring all the highs of today and how far we have come.
End of the day Jaffe is just salty his shallow edgelord was giving actual depth. Even ignoring the Norse games most of what made Kratos good came from other. Its funny how the PSP games done more for Greek era Kratos then the main games ever did.
@wildcat_kickz He spends most of the time spreading hate and sometimes lies online because he's bitter gaming isn't stuck in 2005. This is a guy that called Metroid Dread awful because he sucked at it. He doesn't offer anything of value he just appeals to the "hardcore" sweaty gamer audience that also wished gaming was stuck in 2005. I have no respect for the guy because he offers nothing but hate and anger and enables more like him.
Might be the best SoP of the entire Gen and it felt more like a showcase then a usual SoP. That GoW Remake reveal with the OG Kratos himself had my jaw dropped.
@graymamba You understand this is pretty much the norm for big Hollwood films right? They cast popular actors. Were they using AI when John Wayne and Charlton Heston were cast in everything? Harrison Ford? Cary Grant? Steve McQueen?
@Simu001 If you focus on the open field stuff to level up and then do the story stuff it becomes much easier. Its actually very easy to over level and steamroll a lot of the early stage bosses.
My guess is Marathon and Saros will be the big highlights. RE Requiem will see a reveal of a bonus mode. Some Plus updates and the rest will be 3rd party stuff and maybe a reveal of a new MS port like Starfield or something.

Re: Poll: Should God of War Trilogy Remake Adopt the Gameplay Style of Ragnarok?
Somewhere in between would be my pick.

Re: Don't Expect Crimson Desert to Be Easy, PS5 Open Worlder Won't Have Difficulty Options at Launch
Saying all the right things i just hope there isn't a catch with the game.
Re: Sorry Haters, But Marathon Is Looking Real Good Right Now
Fair play to Bungie they have really turned it around. Not 100% yet if i will jump in as i'm deep into Arc Raiders but i am rooting for the game.

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Update 1.1.8 Out Tomorrow, Get the PS5 Patch Notes Here
@Northern_munkey You can't manual jump as in you can't jump whenever you like you can only jump when the game let's you.
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Update 1.1.8 Out Tomorrow, Get the PS5 Patch Notes Here
@Northern_munkey Well that's because manuel jump hasn't been added yet.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Nioh 3?
9/10 and might be the best in the series.
Re: 'It's a Terrible First-Party Game': God of War Creator Expands on PS5 Side-Scroller Criticism
@nomither6 He never made God of War 3 the best of the Greek games.
Re: 'It's a Terrible First-Party Game': God of War Creator Expands on PS5 Side-Scroller Criticism
This is a guy who had a meltdown over Metroid Dread all because he sucked at it. Keep being a bitter has been Jaffe.
Re: Resident Evil Requiem Is the Biggest Download in Series History on PS5
I was expecting something near a 100gb so 72gb is fine by me.
Re: Fans Are Already Debating Whether God of War's PS5 Trilogy Will Cut the Series' Sex Minigames
Honestly don't give a damn either way.
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Update 1.1.8 Out Tomorrow, Get the PS5 Patch Notes Here
@Northern_munkey Manual Jump is a different type of jump, its a jump that you can do any time with no restrictions.

Re: PlayStation Fans Delighted with New State of Play, Already the Most Popular One Ever
It was excellent and easily the best of the entire gen.
Re: John Wick PS5 Game Has an Original Story That's Part of the Canon, Movie Director Involved
One of the highlights from the SoP.
Re: Kingdom Come: Deliverance Hits PS5 Today, Free Upgrade for PS4 Owners
@StitchJones Its been a great two days and last week we also had Nioh 3. What a damn good month and RE Requiem hasn't even dropped yet.
Re: Kingdom Come: Deliverance Hits PS5 Today, Free Upgrade for PS4 Owners
Oh what a lovely gift. Damn Rayman, GoW and now this what a great Friday.
Re: Konami Is So Back It's Even Making an All-New JRPG for PS5
Fair play to Konami for actually taking this return seriously.

Tekken DR is a huge get.
Re: Sony's Sublime Marvel Fighting Game Brings the Unbreakable X-Men to PS5, PC on 6th August
So pumped my girl Magik made it in.
Re: God of War Trilogy Remake Announced for PS5
I'm so hyped for this. My jaw dropped when they revealed it.

Re: AAA John Wick Game Announced for PS5
Yeah 😁😁😁 Hyped as hell.
Re: MGS Master Collection Volume 2 PS5 Announced, Metal Gear Solid 4 Is Free of PS3 Jail
Finally after all this time.
Re: Kena: Scars of Kosmora a Bigger and Better PS5 Sequel, Out in 2026
Fantastic reveal and one i didn't see coming. First game is excellent.
Re: Of Course Jason Momoa Stars in the Helldivers Movie, Out November 2027
@Oram77 First film made over a billion. Also are you really going to downplay Dune and Stargate?
Re: Crimson Desert PS5 Is Also a Full-On Life Sim Game, Last Deep Dive Video Reveals
@Oram77 Also whether you like the game or not AC Shadows has one of the biggest Pro upgrades out there with RTGI at 60fps.
Re: Crimson Desert PS5 Is Also a Full-On Life Sim Game, Last Deep Dive Video Reveals
Would love some actual PS5 footage.
Re: Of Course Jason Momoa Stars in the Helldivers Movie, Out November 2027
@graymamba You understand this is pretty much the norm for big Hollwood films right? They cast popular actors. Were they using AI when John Wayne and Charlton Heston were cast in everything? Harrison Ford? Cary Grant? Steve McQueen?
Re: Of Course Jason Momoa Stars in the Helldivers Movie, Out November 2027
@Oram77 Yes because Stargate, Aquaman and Dune don't exist.
Re: Rumour: 'Most' of Highguard's Dev Team Laid Off Just Two Weeks After Live Service Shooter's Launch
Geoff really screwed these guys over. That said the game isn't good enough regardless.
Re: Jaw-Dropping Black Myth Sequel Effectively Confirmed for PS5
@StitchJones Not according to this article.
Re: No Man's Sky Gets a Gravity Gun in Its Latest Game-Changing Update on PS5, PS4
@Oram77 I don't think that will happen. Sean has been saying a lot of the newer systems added to NMS is stuff from LNF.
My bet is LNF will be out next year. I think Sean and his team wanted NMS to reach 10 years of updates so i suspect this year will be focused on that.
Re: No Man's Sky Gets a Gravity Gun in Its Latest Game-Changing Update on PS5, PS4
@MFTWrecks Building is pretty fine imo. Its pretty basic and doesn't require much skill.
Re: No Man's Sky Gets a Gravity Gun in Its Latest Game-Changing Update on PS5, PS4
@Oram77 Let them cook we don't want another NMS style launch.
Re: PS5's Wolverine Won't Be at This Week's State of Play
Never expected it anyway.
Re: Jaw-Dropping Black Myth Sequel Effectively Confirmed for PS5
Footage captured on a high end PC so expect PS5 to be using very low PC settings and faking 60fps.
Re: Sony's PS5 Fighter Marvel Tokon Confirms 20 Characters at Launch, Single Player 'Episode' Mode
@PuppetMaster Then don't do 4v4 if you can't make a roster big enough to handle it.
Re: Sony's PS5 Fighter Marvel Tokon Confirms 20 Characters at Launch, Single Player 'Episode' Mode
@Oram77 Those are 1v1 fighters not 4v4. A 4v4 fighter needs a larger roster because you're no longer picking 1 out of 20 you're picking 4 out of 20.
Re: Sony's PS5 Fighter Marvel Tokon Confirms 20 Characters at Launch, Single Player 'Episode' Mode
A 4v4 fighter with 20 characters is no where near enough, this should be near 30.
Re: Nioh 3's Bosses Took a Lot of Inspiration from Lies of P, Says Director
@Simu001 If you focus on the open field stuff to level up and then do the story stuff it becomes much easier. Its actually very easy to over level and steamroll a lot of the early stage bosses.
Re: PS5's First State of Play of 2026 Tipped for Later This Week
My guess is Marathon and Saros will be the big highlights. RE Requiem will see a reveal of a bonus mode. Some Plus updates and the rest will be 3rd party stuff and maybe a reveal of a new MS port like Starfield or something.
