“Leaks” are often a marketing tool. Geoff probably leaked it himself lol

@SoulChimera great minds think alike, you beat me to it!

@Oram77 I still don’t think I’ve ever seen such blatant product placement with Geoff and his Doritos 😂

@Rob3008 that’s definitely ironic though I do feel it’s take two’s influence they’ve become like that. Doesn’t matter either way though I guess, is sad to see.

If I worked for those studios I’d be a bit nervous hearing this. Netflix obviously aren’t interested in the gaming side and just hope they’re either sold off separately to someone who is or they actually take it seriously.

This feels like another MS acquisition to me where many could be closed down, projects cancelled. Hope not.

It was actually the cinematography in Ragnarok that put me off it. Felt like they were trying hard to make it film-like and the gameplay was interrupted too many times. Especially with the amount of pointless “squeezing through tight spaces” type situations.

This might have been good for the actor but wasn’t so much for me as a gamer and end user. Not everyone has to be naughty dog and I wonder if there’s internal competition within Sony studios that think they have to make things even more cinematic when to me I just want to play the game, not watch it.

They must really be freaking out internally to come out and make these comments.

Only really interested in forza, ms flight sim and south of midnight from them, so 2 out of 3 isn’t bad!

Isn’t the corporate world wonderful! You sell your company which then gets riddled in debt. Someone somewhere is making good coin out of this.

If they really want power efficiency they need to produce their new chip on a 2nm fab process around about where Apple are with their M chips. Consoles typically use older generation fabrications for cost purposes though.

@BIG3 they prefer to throw Doritos at Geoff.

Looking forward to this update just hope developers update their games for the pro a second time which for some could be a big ask.

@Puketapu that’s fair enough, rebirth is definitely more open world so maybe that’s why you prefer it?

@Steeleye25 yeah square did a good job with the remakes in my opinion. I’m sure you’ll love remake too plus it’ll fill in a bit of the story for your rebirth play through.

I’d recommend getting the interlude version as it has a few more bells and whistles, especially with the yuffie dlc.

@Steeleye25 good to hear you’re enjoying rebirth is a great game! Did you not play remake first though?

@Meowmixes98 I definitely would too, why haven’t they done that? I’d even pay an extra 10 for it lol

Sony did a great job with deals this year putting its competitors to shame. Nintendo and Xbox were as stingy as some stingy thing.

I’ve waited 18 years for it so there’s no way I’m playing anything but prime 4 this weekend. It’s better than critics would make you believe in my opinion and the HDR implementation is beautiful, especially at 120fps!

Sorry Sony I’m nintendo’s this weekend…

Let’s see if it goes down like the Microsoft acquisition with layoffs, closed studios and game cancellations on the gaming side.

This is good news but sadly I don’t need any more controllers. Sony’s pads rank among the worst for battery life in my experience and it’s a shame this isn’t how they launched.

@invictus4000 cool, how come it’s out of the china hero project?

@themightyant thanks for the info, much appreciated!

I’ll be picking this up either way but would prefer a bigger upfront install so we’ll see I guess.

Having said that I haven’t got any spare 2.5 petabyte drives lying around anyway 😂

Would rather have south of midnight. You know, if I had the choice!

Anyone know how much is included on the disc? I’m not keen on 400gb downloads.

With MS’s track record on PlayStation I’m guessing it could be 100mb 😂

@Frmknst I find 235 fps is the sweet spot

Really looking forward to seeing this. Haven’t played it since it came out but if they’ve improved the combat I’ll especially be happy.

Looking forward to trying this out. I enjoyed the building in Zelda more than i thought I would.

@PuppetMaster yes agreed, if only there was more time!

@AhmadSumadi yes that’s true as I play too many games!

Nice idea Stephen and a very good read. I have the same relationship with trophies as you!

@AhmadSumadi why limit yourself? You can love PlayStation and Nintendo at the same time. It’s not just one or the other lol

I’m glad my two platforms of choice are doing well!

The sequels are good or sometimes better than the original’s but for some reason I’ve found myself more bored playing them. I think it’s more to do with the open world design though rather than a slight on the game itself.

Please keep us abreast of updates on this one sammy.

In terms of first party it’s been underwhelming for me. Third party have filled in the gaps though. Sony seem to have dropped the ball in terms of SP releases while chasing the live service dream.

In terms of hardware I do love my pro. It’s a great bit of kit but due to the seriously long cross gen feel even now we’ve not seen the best of its capabilities.

That’s really low but not surprising. The Japanese console market really isn’t as healthy as it used to be.

Also interesting ps3/4 cross gen was 1 year, the ps4/5 cross gen 5 years!

I miss the days of the ps2 generation when we’d get 3 new gta’s in the console life span.

Lucky if we get one release per studio these days.

What’s amazing is tech are just blindly moving forward with AI tech in a lawless fashion, ignoring all the warning signs of how it can be a threat to humankind just because it’s the “next big thing.”

Yes it can be useful but it can also be dangerous.

@JohnnyShoulder @AdamNovice yeah also gta5

@Jammer agree but horizon is a low point in my opinion. I skipped almost all of the cut scenes in forbidden west as they bored me to tears 🤣

Black flops 7

That’s some seriously impressive numbers and they can add one more to that when I get round to buying it lol.

Looking forward to next year to see how much gta6 dwarfs this.

Looks as awesome as always, bring it on, hopefully in 2026!

I skipped all the dialogue and most scenes in forbidden west as the writing and characters do nothing for me. Aloy is quite unlikeable for my tastes.

The games are good overall though and look beautiful. If the melee combat is improved for the next game they’ll be even better.

@Stevemalkpus or they failed too big?

@sanderson72 yeah basically Japanese consumers are getting a favourable deal here. I guess Sony assume they’ll make up any losses through psn subs, game sales etc while gaining market share.

Is about annoying they have a price cut while our prices are going up though.

Does this have a release date or is it already out?

The casting looks good to me but can’t help think animation would have been better for this. Though what do I know?!

I mean the games look decent but for me playing games like this with touch controls sucks balls.

It’s effectively just a price cut for Japan only. That’s the only reason it’s in Japanese language and requires a Japanese psn account so people don’t import them to other markets.

By limiting it like this Sony haven’t miraculously found a way to produce them cheaper which is what the article implies.
