Dodoo

I’ll likely be in the battlefield camp as opposed to the Call of Duty: Fortnite camp.

Why am I not as buzzed for this as I should be?

@Cry_Zero ah no joke just me being dopey.

I’ll see myself out 🤣

Looks nice but yeah what on earth are they waffling on about?

Think I need to go to bed 😅

@Cry_Zero don’t you mean vice city? 🤭

That’s actually quite hilarious. Probably will be rectified quickly though I’d imagine 😂

It’s a good start, now just hope the gameplays as good.

@dschons your comment made me chuckle 😄

It’s refreshing to get a serious shooter for a change after Fortnite’s turned cod and every other shooter into trashy kids games.

I have nothing against cod but I’d love to see battlefield take its crown.

Still mopping up bananas in bonanza!

A bit ironic him talking about making ‘entertainment content’ when they’re aiming for one first party release a year these days.

Even physical games saw an increase year on year wahooo!

Well I for one am interested in battlefield and not in cod. Hope it ends up as good as it looks!

@Kiefer-Sutherland I agree. I’m happy to pay £40 for a 10-15 hour game. My lack of gaming time means I appreciate shorter and less bloated games these days.

@ButterySmooth30FPS ah ok I missed that. Will have a search. Was it from an official source or speculation?

@LiamCroft ah ok thanks mate.

This is going to continue unless Sony come out and make their intentions clear which probably won’t happen.

I miss the days when House, Tretton, Shui, Layden and co actually communicated with their fan base. Damn even Jim Ryan used to be vocal sometimes.

Now all we get is tumbleweed.

@LiamCroft when are the review embargoes lifted please Liam?

@Papa_Emeritus deaths door was a great game. If you like crows you must’ve loved it!

@Dudeitsme hadn’t thought of that and didn’t know but luckily @UltimateOtaku91 has come to the rescue!

If I get this it’ll be on ps5 but I have to say the game key cards aren’t quite as bad as people are making out I reckon.

Yeah I’d rather have the game on a cart obviously but at least they allow you to re-sell which digital or code in a box doesn’t.

From what I can tell and have heard it looks like this is going to ship in a solid state which will be nice as it’s increasingly rare these days!

Looks good but not as good as the VF 6 concept from earlier this year. That looked incredible…

While games are getting better, game names are becoming more atrocious by the month. Who comes up with these shockers?

Anyway I’m off to pre order “Super Mario Party Jamboree - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV“ FFS 😂

Comes bundled with 2x DLC and 5mb on the disc

@11001100110zero yeah thanks that sounds about the size I’d want if and when I start looking. So glad the form factor has improved and we don’t have to have a massive towers like we used to!

@get2sammyb “From what we can see here, Sony is very much focusing on getting this thing into as many homes as possible again.”

Which is ironic as if they start releasing their exclusives elsewhere I can see a lot more people convert to PC, me probably included.

I hope they know what they’re doing but I don’t have confidence in the current management.

I don’t think I’ve ever been less excited for a new PlayStation as this.

With the way MS and Sony seem to be diluting the console space I could be one of those PC converts next gen seeing as most of their games will be on PC.

Plus PC’s smaller housing’s these days mean I can probably find room for it in the lounge on the big TV and maybe get a rog or steam deck for handheld.

I guess it will mostly depend if Sony fully commit to becoming a publisher across all storefronts like MS seem to be doing but it does seem MS/Sony are happy to diminish the console market in the hope of selling more everywhere else.

Well I’m much more interested in battlefield this year than cod put it that way!

Looks intense. This could be my first FPS in years!

Really like the look of this and agree with @carlos82 in that I’m happy it’s not another turn based rpg.

@Questionable_Duck an ok didn’t realise that, thanks

Kudos to Konami for crediting him. They’ve done a much better job than Nintendo with some of their remakes missing the OG developers…

“it’s likely that all of the above projects will be PS5 console exclusives”

Not necessarily though wasn’t helldivers 2 in a similar situation and funded like this by Sony?

I have a good feeling about this one

Well done EA I commend you.

@ElectricWizard true that, I’m just bitter 😅

@SuperSilverback @get2sammyb do it, go for a swim swim 😆

As is usual Microsoft bought their way into the market.

@IOI sammy wasn’t blaming fans for overreacting, they are quoted words from his source.

At this point I’m more interested in seeing to what extent Sony’s planning on reciprocating.

Helldivers makes sense but that job listing makes it seem a lot more may be on the way to Xbox from the team in blue.

@nessisonett yep everything’s dressed up as “protect the children” or “national security” when in effect they just want control and restricted freedoms. Problem is most people don’t believe it or worse don’t give a s***.

DK Bananza for me. What a game!!

Makes me wonder if exclusives like this will soon cease to exist if Sony are looking to port to switch, Xbox etc.

@somnambulance not sure but I did have to google Mandela effect 🤣

I don’t really understand this as Sony are in a totally different position to Xbox in terms of install base.

They really won’t reap the same benefits as Microsoft has as the sales potential is much lower. I guess helldivers will be an important litmus test.

@somnambulance your autocorrect is better than mine it changed my Nadella to Mandela 😂

For the 9000 people that just got laid off that must read like a real kick in the teeth, knowing the company that just gave you the boot has never been so prosperous and profitable.

Nadella is being really insensitive to those people who he thanked and bigged up massively while ruining their livelihoods.

You may be winning Nadella but you’re also a loser.

@N1ghtW1ng yeah that’s one of the reasons I liked it, there were no Jedi’s in sight and it was refreshing just to play as a smuggler. Why they didn’t use Han Solo for the main role though I’ll never know seeing as he’d fit perfectly.

Was cool though how they weaved main characters into the story though like jabba, darth vader etc and the world they created was by far the best in any Star Wars game I’ve played. Felt like the OG films many times.

@Bramble yeah that’s true…
