Re: Poll: $1,000 and No Disc Drive - Is PS6 Dead on Arrival?

Dodoo

I was interested but any excitement I had has vanished.

Price, no physical and a lack of belief in Sony are the main reasons but also the lack of first party output and their focus on sequels and live service also are negatives for me. I don't have any faith in the current leadership team.

I will hold onto my pro and reconsider how I play games moving forward but it's highly unlikely it will be on playstation.

Re: Rumour: Gaming Industry 'Bloodbath' Imminent, as Sony, Microsoft, and More Brace for Mass Layoffs

I thought people were overreacting before but it does actually feel like a crash is coming.

Agree with @LogicStrikesAgain as it does seem the market is saturated and even backed up by that graph Geoff showed at the beginning of SGF if anyone remembers!

Buyers are more spread out than ever and it's harder for any single game to be successful. Is the reason we're increasingly seeing the biggest franchises get new games from the big boys and less risks being taken.

Re: Round Up: All the PS5 Reveals from the Nintendo Direct for June 2026

I was disappointed they didn’t show ocarina gameplay seeing as it’s coming out this year.

Xenoblade looked good and while I respect there’s some big announcements in there for some, it was a bit lacking for my tastes. I just don’t seem to gel with Nintendo like I used to when miyamoto was still in charge of development.

Re: Gears of War: E-Day Is Not Coming to PS5, Xbox Confirms Console Exclusivity

Dodoo

I'm not really sure why they kept Gears but not Fable and Halo etc. Yes the latter were already confirmed but gears was pegi rated so was obviously going to be. They could have easily cancelled Halo/Fable too but decided not to, it's not like they're strangers to making 180's...

Like @RoliePolie91 said this could be a test of some sort to help decide what direction to take long term.

Re: Reaction: Some PS5 Fans Think SGF Showed Sony Losing Its Grip on Third-Parties

Dodoo

I think Shu alone was such a well respected and liked exec he helped sony keep strong relations with devs. Without him I wouldn't be surprised if those relations had deteriorated a little. This especially considering how clueless many of their current execs are in other areas of the business, I could see them doing a lesser job though obviously there are a lot more people than that behind the scenes so is hard to tell.

If they confirmed they'd lost their grip with many 3rd parties I wouldn't be at all surprised and let's face it something negative has at least happened between them and SE.
