@Northern_munkey nice but please shield your friend @Kidfunkadelic83 from me. I unfortunately don’t have the time, money or space for one myself and don’t want to be tempted 😂
Yes we realise keeping them online may be expensive but what many are asking for is for an offline mode once the servers are shut off. Surely that wouldn’t be that expensive in most instances?
Sony are without doubt diluting the value of the brand and that’s a shame after they’ve built it up so solidly over such a long time.
As the article says it would be nice if they actually communicated with their fans for a change. Generations ago they used to do this, now they just seem like faceless money collectors.
“Is there really any point in the platform holder paying for timed exclusives when it’s releasing its own software elsewhere?”
My thoughts exactly, Sony need to work out if they’re in or out. I think it’s only fair they tell their fans what their intentions and/or strategy is… These decisions make me think Sony are confused and not even they know the direction they’re taking at the moment.
I love new hardware and am usually an early adopter but for PS6 I think I’ll probably wait a few years until upgrading. (unless I give in to hype and fomo 😂)
The generational gaps are so minor these days and cross generations last years as we’ve seen with PS4/5.

Re: Reaction: Sony's PS5 Games Keep Getting Better After Launch, and Often for Free
You’re right @get2sammyb - credit where credits due.
They have done a great job regardless if it’s slowed down new game development or not.
Re: Sucker Punch Would 'Love' an inFAMOUS Trilogy on PS5
@Oram77 yeah bluepoint would be a great shout.
Even if they were fully licensed out I’m sure there’s loads of studios that would love to work on those IP’s…?
Re: Worried About AI in Game Development? It's Here, and It's Only Getting Worse
@djlard ah apologies didn’t realise
Re: Sucker Punch Would 'Love' an inFAMOUS Trilogy on PS5
@Nepp67 same. Is criminal sly and jak have been deserted.
Re: Sucker Punch Would 'Love' an inFAMOUS Trilogy on PS5
Man I’d be so down for more infamous. If we can’t get a new game then this would do!
Re: Worried About AI in Game Development? It's Here, and It's Only Getting Worse
@djlard you’re correct but this is percentages.
If you have 1000 and add 100% it’s 2000, add 200% is 3000 etc, so 700% increase is 8000.
Re: Worried About AI in Game Development? It's Here, and It's Only Getting Worse
1000 to 8000 is 700% just sayin!
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Want from God of War Maker Sony Santa Monica Next?
@eltomo are you a comedian? 😂
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Want from God of War Maker Sony Santa Monica Next?
I love god of war but something new would be nice. Milking franchises in succession gives me fatigue.
Re: PlayStation to Skip Gamescom Show for the Sixth Year in a Row
Meanwhile they exhibit at TGS and Shanghai. Talk about how to ignore the markets with most of your fans lol
Re: Secret New PS5 Firmware Update Out Now, Get the Patch Notes Here
Funny we get stability updates but my systems always seem stable to begin with.
Re: Bethesda to Put Oblivion Remastered on a PS5 Disc in New Physical Edition
@ElectricWizard yeah that’s crazy, especially as discs/cases cost pennies to produce.
How have these companies forgotten that gamers like to receive a game when they buy a game 🤣
Re: PS5 30th Anniversary Console Gets a 'Limited Restock' in September
Shouldn’t it be the 31st anniversary edition this year? 🤭
Re: Bethesda to Put Oblivion Remastered on a PS5 Disc in New Physical Edition
What a strange time we live in wondering if the disc will actually have the game on it…
Re: Xbox's Forza Horizon 5 Sold an Outrageous 2 Million Copies on PS5 in a Month
Supposedly sold almost 3 million now according to purexbox
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 589
@Fartingale your pre/order only arrived yesterday? Where did you order it from, the moon?
Enjoy is a great game!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 589
Retrying Tears of the kingdom again after giving up on it a few years ago. It’s clicked this time so that’s probably me sorted for a month!
Re: Poll: Are You Sold on Ghost of Yotei?
@Oram77 haha not sure I can promise that 😉😂
Re: Poll: Are You Sold on Ghost of Yotei?
@HaveTheSauce you’re right and there is loads, I just miss Sony’s first party output of old that’s all. I’ll stop complaining now 😅
Re: Poll: Are You Sold on Ghost of Yotei?
@Oram77 yeah that’s true next year should be better. I’m keeping the faith brother 😂
Re: Poll: Are You Sold on Ghost of Yotei?
While it does look great, I’m not liking this “one game a year” thing from Sony.
Re: Two Jaw-Dropping Limited Edition Ghost of Yotei PS5 Consoles Announced
Not sure if I love them or loathe them!
Re: Poll: Are You Sold on Ghost of Yotei?
Definitely looking forward to it but I’m more feeling Asian developed games atm compared to western developed.
Re: Old School Rally Recaptures Those Classic Colin McRae Vibes on PS5, PS4
@Northern_munkey nice but please shield your friend @Kidfunkadelic83 from me. I unfortunately don’t have the time, money or space for one myself and don’t want to be tempted 😂
Re: Old School Rally Recaptures Those Classic Colin McRae Vibes on PS5, PS4
@Northern_munkey that’s not bullying, you’re just being a good friend 😂
Re: Tokyo Game Show 2025 Set to Be Biggest Ever, Confirms Sony, Square Enix, SEGA, More
It’s nice to see this and Gamescom doing well, makes you wonder exactly where it went wrong for E3…
Re: Industry Body Representing Publishers Like PlayStation Says Stop Killing Games' Proposals Would Be 'Prohibitively Expensive'
Yes we realise keeping them online may be expensive but what many are asking for is for an offline mode once the servers are shut off. Surely that wouldn’t be that expensive in most instances?
Re: The Uncharted Vibes Are Off the Charts in New Mafia: The Old Country PS5 Gameplay
I’m so up for this. Hope it releases in a good state!
Re: PS5 Fans Divided Over Helldivers 2 on Xbox Pivot
Sony are without doubt diluting the value of the brand and that’s a shame after they’ve built it up so solidly over such a long time.
As the article says it would be nice if they actually communicated with their fans for a change. Generations ago they used to do this, now they just seem like faceless money collectors.
Re: Wuxia Open World Where Winds Meet Will Be a PS5 Console Exclusive for Six Months
“Is there really any point in the platform holder paying for timed exclusives when it’s releasing its own software elsewhere?”
My thoughts exactly, Sony need to work out if they’re in or out. I think it’s only fair they tell their fans what their intentions and/or strategy is… These decisions make me think Sony are confused and not even they know the direction they’re taking at the moment.
Re: Gran Turismo's Primary Console Competitor May Be No More
Such a shame, I was secretly hoping we’d get a Forza motorsport one day on ps5, at least we got horizon though…
Re: Digital Sales Make Death Stranding 2 PS5 Estimates Much Stronger
@Frmknst agree, it’s the price people pay for convenience.
Re: Best inFAMOUS Games
Have fond memories of booting up second son on my brand spanking new ps4. Definitely miss this series!
Re: PlayStation Is Bringing Helldivers 2 to Xbox, Out on 26th August
Wow didn’t see this coming, it’s hard to predict literally anything in gaming any more.
At this rate only Nintendo will be the ones with exclusives…
Re: Xbox's Phil Spencer 'Not Retiring' After Disastrous Day of Cancellations and Job Cuts
@Deshalu yes what you’ve said is correct but you’ve forgotten that Sony has consistently pumped out first party quality for over 30 years.
MS have been very inconsistent for 20.
Re: Sony Still Does Physical Gaming Properly, Death Stranding 2 Fully Playable from Disc
@Max_the_German yes it seems so, sad times indeed!
Re: Xbox's Phil Spencer 'Not Retiring' After Disastrous Day of Cancellations and Job Cuts
A lot of this doesn’t make sense to me.
I thought perfect dark actually looked really good and was looking forward to a ps5 port.
Hope all those affected find work soon and receive good redundancy pay.
Re: Mass Xbox Layoffs Begin, Rare Game Everwild and Zenimax MMORPG Both Reportedly Cancelled
@get2sammyb yes me too, Spencer’s message is totally heartless.
Re: What the Hell Has Happened to Call of Duty?
I’m looking forward to the new Battlefield I have to say!
Re: PS6 to 'Push the Boundaries' of Graphics, Doubles Down on Machine Learning
@liathach I heard it’s gonna be called The Last Last of Us 🤭
Re: New PS5 Games for July and August 2025
Really hope mafia turns out well!
Re: PS6 to 'Push the Boundaries' of Graphics, Doubles Down on Machine Learning
I love new hardware and am usually an early adopter but for PS6 I think I’ll probably wait a few years until upgrading. (unless I give in to hype and fomo 😂)
The generational gaps are so minor these days and cross generations last years as we’ve seen with PS4/5.
Re: Hitler Seemingly Removed from New Visual Novel PS5 Game
@Bluemoon2008 I’m not there are any?
Re: Hitler Seemingly Removed from New Visual Novel PS5 Game
I mean who would’ve been offended by this? Precisely no one?
Re: Poll: 15 Years of PS Plus - What Do You Think of Sony's Subscription Service?
Unsubscribed years ago as I don’t have enough time to get value from it. Loved it back in the day though.
Re: You Can Now Launch First-Party PlayStation Games Through the Xbox PC App
@Flaming_Kaiser yeah true I just can’t see Sony being comfortable with their games on anything Xbox branded regardless, but maybe I’m wrong!
Re: Ghost of Yotei's Pricey $250 PS5 Collector's Edition Is for the Hardcore Fans Only
The “collectors” edition doesn’t include the physical game? Damn, makes me wonder if this’ll even have a standard physical release!
Re: 'Sure, Here's a Revised Version of the Text': The Alters Taken to Task for Blatant Use of Generative AI
It’s not a massive deal in itself but yes it should be disclosed in my opinion.
Re: New Ace Combat Game Teased in 30th Anniversary Message
Will we be able to take off and land in the latest game I wonder? That’s the fun part for me in flight sims.arcade games.
