I highly support them maintaining and prolonging the PS5 generation. It is the smartest and best outcome. Also, game development itself needs to update itself. We should be past the point of catering to PS4/Switch 2/low-end PC and Series S-levels of performance when new hardware launches.
Great joke! And even better rage baiting! You reeled in an ocean of complaining ... from men!
The absolute hypocrisy you've extracted and distilled from about a hundred comments of trash talking David Jaffe could fuel the US government for months.
As for the game, it isn't for me. If you don't like the type of game, it is easily ignored.
I am currently playing God Of War: Ragnarok again in a New Game+ run I started and abandoned.
I make sure to play on my beautiful TV, which shouldn't perform as great as it does to the price, and boy... I am just completely blown away all over again at the graphical prowess of PS5 Pro and Santa Monica's artistry. Their world is so beautiful. Get a pro and this game if you haven't already.
I abandoned Dishonored 2 shortly before the excellent State of Play in the midst of a corvo-new game +-run. I am mostly done with this game I played 10 years too late to the launch party.
I am also playing the amazing DLC in Alan Wake 2. It remedied my experience with the game - that and I'm back on playing Saga which improves the game. Phenomenal in frequent and prolonged glimpses.
I might go with WWE25 just to play around before it goes away.
I am somewhere in my first playthrough on 'normal' in KCD2...
I've completed the first game on both difficulties, but ... who knows if I jump in to enjoy the upgrade at some point🤗 Nothing to hold back newcomers though! Enjoy yourselves
I just "accidentally" bought the game when I tried to wishlist it. I will participate in the alpha, like I did with Destiny back in the day, and then I'll see if I want in or not.
The article isn't hyperbolic. It seemed clear to me that this is the next step in the arcadey gameplay of House marque.
Returnal is a special game. The one time I summoned a random player to help me, he came to me as Neo after discovering his powers over the Matrix. In comparison, I was the damsel in distress.
It was one of the most spectacular 'performances' in gaming I have ever seen. He progressed me through the first biome and beat the first boss which I could not do. He then proceeded to carry me through the second biome all the way to the epic boss battle which he fought valiantly - he was jumping from meteor to meteor somehow pummeling the boss where I could not make a dent in it's health pool, let alone stay alive.
I truly have not seen anything like this in gaming before. And it is not like I haven't been carried through a Destiny Raid before either.
I rated it excellent - and would like to add to the reaction I had last night.
I could have cut out some of the fat on this one making the length and scope near optimal levels. Things like Rayman, Mina the follower, Crimson Moon, Legacy of Kain and Time Crisis looked out of place belonging to another context. In my opinion that is 5-10 minutes of fat cut right there.
It was amazing to NOT see all the gacha bs that usually takes up a quarter of the run time. Not too much Live Service either, leading me to my next point.
It shows us how Live Service is done right I Playstation Studios. Folded into a solid single player experience, Legends made a big splash even if it wasn't a surprise to see it featured.
High production values on the show itself, great games shown, I didn't fall asleep but in fact was quite enveloped throughout. I rate it highly.
Marathon was sooo cool. I think the latest trailer sold me on joining in, shelling out and donning whatever cape they'll give me.
007 looks amazing. I was already onboard.
John Wick looked very cool. Love Keanu! Kena was amazing, like a Pixar movie. Saros showed the studio has evolved a lot and are leaning into AAA territory. Control: Resonate was Devil May Sci-fi! I am actually as of today currently playing Lake House DLC which is AWEsome (get it?) and leans into Control vibes. Amazing DLC that is a joy to go through. It is very great graphics and special effects on a Pro.
Also played GOW: Ragnarok after the show to celebrate a marquis PlayStation Studio entry to PS Plus by Spider-Man 2. What an excellent graphical experience on a good TV + PS5 Pro.
“What good is fast performance, a flashy stability, and a gold-plated UI? Absolutely no good at all. I've been put on this planet to demand nude mods and VR contwnt, which in essence is gonna help humanity. I wanna have the purest nude mods. I wanna be able to see straight into that creek. I wanna stop the lack of mods. I wanna save the world. And you know money? Money is great. I can't get enough money. And you know what I'm gonna do with it? I'm gonna buy nude mods with it. Every single cent I get goes straight into nude mods. And guess what Pushsquare, I don't give a rip whose money it is mate. I'll use it, and I'll spend it on buying nude mods.” —Stephen Robert Irwin, 1962 – 2006 and Efyi 1987 - 20??
I've been combing through every sale for irresistible offers on Spider-Man 2 and other games, but so often I stay my (shopping) hand even at 70+ per cent discounts as it simply feels too expensive compared to just exploring the PS plus libraries.
Right now, I'm playing Dishonored 2, Undisputed and Wolfenstein 2 which are part of the service. All games I've read or read reviews about with interest, but if I bought all the games that sound interesting I would be spending too much of my budget on gaming.
There's probably a price hike on PS Plus coming, but I'm good until May and we'll see if it is STILL unbeatable value when I've tried my best to exhaust the library come May. I also wonder how on Earth it is sustainable. I've been swimming in games like a pig rolling in mud.
How the hell can I justify ever buying a game again!?!
Looking back, there hasn't really been a bad month. I wasn't excited to see Undisputed headlining, but after giving it a go I am enjoying that a whole lot.
My mind is blown - and on the day I ranked all sony-owned studios putting Insomniac on top!
They make great games - the last I played was when I was away on holiday in a cabin. The one with a eerie hotel on an Island. It was pretty great and a fun experience. You can tell this next game has insane production values compared to the four anthology entries.
Internal ranking of the team based on my interests (support and port studios not ranked):
1. Insomniac Most prolific, top quality studio with Wolverine slated to release this year. Growing up, Wolverine was my favorite hero.
2. Guerilla Games The world they created put them in the top-2 of my list. They are a healthy studio that willl eventually release Horizon 3, and might crack the code on live service games for Playstation that is so highly coveted.
3. Sucker Punch The world that the ghosts inhabit is something truly special. They made an Assassin's Creed-killer and they very recently delivered!
4. Santa Monica GOW: Ragnarok is a masterpiece. It blew me away. What are they cooking now?
5. Bungie Up so high due to their Destiny-past that had me so, so invested. They could deliver something special with Marathon!
6. Polyphony Digital I am not into driving games per day, but the one to play is GT7 in VR.
7. Team Asobi Great studio for PlayStation's modern branding. Can't wait to play (watch) all their games with my daughter.
8. Naughty Dog Sliding down the list due to no new games having been released. Once a much beloved studio by all, Neil Drugman has polarized the fan base. Intergalactic needs to come soon to remedy the situation, making up for the fact that Neil also cancelled Factions 2 for selfish reasons. These are not facts, they are opinions.
8.5 Firesprite A talented maker of VR games. What's next for them!?
9. HouseMarque Highly respected studio that makes games that are too tough for me. Therefore, they are not highly rated by me, but they are a solid team of game devs for sure.
10. Media Molecule Same as Housemarque. I respect their games a lot.
11. San Diego Makes games for a sport I have zero interest in.
12.Dark Outlaw An unknown entity as of now.
13. Bend The brilliant game devs behind Days Gone was ousted and ever since the studio's spokespeople has ***** on their legacy and have accomplished nothing. I consider them a charity case. Sony Playstation Management are also to blame for the mismanagement of the studio that has only remastered Days Gone since betraying the creators.
14. Haven For five years this villainous hive of wretches has done nothing but piss me off. Each month, they are cashing in pay checks and it reminds me of The Dire Straits' song 'Money for Nothing'. If this studio ever releases anything you can consider my flabber severely gasted. If it is also a success, I would probably have to stand trial for defamation.
I'm still desperately trying to like Like A Dragon. Am stuck before meeting some boss because I don't have armor or accessory. They cost waaaaay too much and I don't have ANY gear even after playing the game for 5? hours... what am I missing here?
A mega state of play? Does that equate to an itty bitty showcase?
I still haven't picked up Spider-Man 2 or Ghost of Yotei and with Wolverine coming later this year, I certainly do not lack anything to play!
Still, I hope that the showcase isn't just 60 minutes of PLEASE BUY INTO OUR CARTOONEY LIVE SERVICE GAMES and Asian Slop Gacha Games.
If I could wish for one thing it would be a public execution of the entire Haven Studios. Sometimes, I think of all the hard working people of Earth and then I think of the vile hive of villainous scum that is Haven that still to this day are siphoning off ressources that ought to go to talented developers.
Online discourse... is amplified voices of, mostly, discontent.
When you have hundreds of millions of voices that could potentially say something obviously every available opinion will be brought forth. These voices chime in now and again based on how agitated/motivated they are. There are voices that comment on voices that comment on voices in a loop of negativity.
It is OKAY to have some ressources dedicated to finding success in the live service market, but did they find the right balance? Most people will say "no" and point to the ample amount of evidence.
I am playing through Dishonest 2 and thinking it is great with moments of excellence which stand out even when experiencing it 10 years after its debut. Makes me want to play the original which boasts over 100 awards.
I have this meandering approach to what games I play.
I also started up Undisputed and to my excitement it has Muhammad Ali and other licensed boxers
My goal is to play PSVR2 + BG3/KCD 2, but they're always there and therefore I find myself browsing PS plus libraries and finding games to try instead.
This could be somewhat of a dream HBO-show for me. Looking forward to see how it turns out.
This also confirms that HBO will leave behind the Last of Us, I think. Part 2 polarized the fanbase and it was clearly part of why people avoided/disliked season 2.
Bloodborne is a good one, actually. You are talking to a hopeless case, unfortunately, when it comes to Soulslike games. I simply do not enjoy them at all!
Most credible video game (industry) commentators (all of them?) are saying that GTA VI will be the biggest game launch of all time and Rockstar has delivered on GTA and Red Dead Redemption. I could bet my buttom dollar it is of the highest attainable quality.
To me, it makes sense that the console generation-defining game only arrives when the console's well established. But if it needs to be in the first part of the "life cycle" (which makes less and less sense because of the smaller leaps between each generation) we have 3 of the best games ever made in KCD2, BG3 and Disco Elysium.
What is the one game that defined PS1, PS2, PS3, and PS4? Even if you somehow provide an answer, the problem is that everyone has to agree in order for your logic to be applicable.
Furthermore, we have all heard of GTA VI, right? It is obviously going to be the generation-defining game and I'll say that whilst I cannot pick out any game for the previous gens, I can, in advance, pick it out for this gen. Ironic.
It is crazy to read the news and find that GTA V is still very much part of the zeitgeist and presumably a pretty able cash cow even now.
We can look forward to absolutely ludicrous news in the future on how it refuses to die even after being eclipsed by the coming of GTAVI.
I cannot imagine GTA VI not dominating in much the same way for at least 5-6 years until the next Rockstar game emerges. How many consoles will GTA VI help shift? Will the online component launch alongside the single player experience?
The comments section today is a fun read. Who knew that basic PlayStation bros would be so salty upon hearing that a game is going to be better on the Pro!
If you go on PS5 Pro-subreddit, all you'll see is genuine praise of its prowess and shared screen shots taken in a state of awe.
The 30+ negative replies are pure copium to combat the fear of missing out. Honestly, you'll should just buy the Pro and live happier lives👌
Am I interested in Crimson Desert myself? Well, it depends on the reviews😊
For once, I could say where are all the games?? There haven't been a release that tempted me to open the wallet for some time now. The last one was Ghost of Yotei, but my New Year's Resolution was to grind down the backlog. The problem is I just pick something from the Plus-libraries.
Right now, I am trying for the first time Dishonored 2 and for a 10 year old game it has been a really charming experience. The Clockwork Mansion is a design masterpiece and genuinely blew me away.
So, I played The Exit 8 which is by far the shortest game I've ever played. It can be completed in an hour or less, depending on how much you cheat by googling how to beat the game.
I am also at the end of a no-death run in AC: Mirage - I'd usually die, but I've been careful and honestly the game is so easy even on Normal that even I can get it done.
I'll continue with Dishonored 2 as well.
After that I'll pick up either BG3 or KCD 2 and continue my runs.
Well, I am not particularly happy or unhappy following the official reveal.
That's a step up from wanting to 'flush' Undisputed away. I actually think I might try it out first.
Subnautica is too construction and scavenge focused for my taste. I hit a wall chasing specific things and figuring out the crafting system.
Ace 7 ... I just sold a PSVR 1 headset and an ol' clonky PS4, leaving me with a PS4 Slim, but I'll fire up this ancient war relic and see if it's fun. I don't know if I ever finished an Ace-game.
Ultron... pass on the Metroidvania... just not for me...
You are wrong about frames per second - sometimes we exaggerate criticism in our minds to protect ourselves.
According to PSU which are trustworthy only a handful of titles 'are stuck' with 30 fps: Dragon’s Dogma 2 (via a 30 FPS cap – otherwise you’re looking at uneven FPS between 30 and 40) Gotham Knights Industria The Casting of Frank Stone The Quarry The Precinct Until Dawn
In your second second argument, it seems to me that you make a point that the UI's not faster but you back it up with an ascertion that it lacks features. Nowadays, products are shipped and features are added to them later.
I can tell you that the UI IS faster and it LOOKS sleeker. In comparison, PS4-UI looks dated and reacts sluggishly. I've only seen people complain about the lack of folders for some reason. I never used it, so I can't say if it solves some sort of issue for people.
All this is just to say (mainly to others reading along) that by far a wide margin people are super satisfied with their PS5/PS5 Pros.
At this point, I wouldn't recommend anyone who can easily afford the upgrade to wait for PS6 - it is still very much a hypothetical down-the-line console.
The only reason being FOMO .... on newer games, better graphics, fast loading times, faster and sleeker UI, compatibility with newer peripheral hardware, more frames per second...
You mention you think you'll hear something from Haven about Fair games?
Sometimes, I visit their website just to laugh at their moniker "We create havens for endless wonder". Translated into plain English it is a direct admission that A) it is a scam and B) they'll keep it going for as long as they possibly can.
If their software ever releases or leaks, I bet it will be the lowest rated first party studio-game ever by Sony by a 30-point metascore margin.
The timing of the release of the handheld is very interesting. Can they wait for the PS6 to release, or will they make sure that the handheld can work with both the PS5 and PS6 (+ pro-editions) and release it within a year (and a half)?
They updated the Portal to function as a standalone console - that might indicate that they will be holding off.
Maybe that is the best strategy, let people realize that the Switch 2 is nothing more than a PS4 made with a repurposed car-chip that can hardly play modern games. Let Grand Theft Auto 6 establish itself as the biggest (live service) game ever created and see if the Nintendo-crowd can see that they ought to switch 2 PlayStation.
Me and dozens of users on here has stated very clearly that there's no need for the PS6 to come as the early adopters simply aren't interested.
We're talking diminishing returns and an experience that won't be distinguishable to the experience on PS5 Pro. If you have a PS5 only, then yes you're going to notice a difference with gaming on PS6, but not if you have the PS5 Pro-monster.
If you read the comments on here or the PS5Pro-subreddit, you'll gather that people adore their Pro-console and that it really delivers, and PS6 is going to do that for the "standard" price of a console (whatever that'll be at the time it arrives years later.)
Sony has read the room tremendously well and has done everything but live service-games right this generation. It will be the longest generation (so far) and the best generation (so far). It will also become the best-selling console of all time, as PC prices will stay ridiculously high.
Oh, in light of recent events, I'm going to play Wolfenstein 2: The New Collossus - it is a game about a fascist regime, neo nazist basically, that uses federal soldiers to prey on and kill off American people.
In the world, medias are cowardly censoring the voices of resistance, but you get sent in to clean up and deliver some brutal justice. It was mistakenly characterized as an fps, but really it is a realistic real-life sim

1. Insomniac
Most prolific, top quality studio with Wolverine slated to release this year. Growing up, Wolverine was my favorite hero.
2. Guerilla Games
The world they created put them in the top-2 of my list. They are a healthy studio that willl eventually release Horizon 3, and might crack the code on live service games for Playstation that is so highly coveted.

You are talking to a hopeless case, unfortunately, when it comes to Soulslike games. I simply do not enjoy them at all!
Most credible video game (industry) commentators (all of them?) are saying that GTA VI will be the biggest game launch of all time and Rockstar has delivered on GTA and Red Dead Redemption. I could bet my buttom dollar it is of the highest attainable quality.
To me, it makes sense that the console generation-defining game only arrives when the console's well established. But if it needs to be in the first part of the "life cycle" (which makes less and less sense because of the smaller leaps between each generation) we have 3 of the best games ever made in KCD2, BG3 and Disco Elysium.
Re: PS5 Officially Outsells PS3, Now at 92.2 Million Units
@Pat_trick
Why are you using the past tense?
What is the one game that defined PS1, PS2, PS3, and PS4? Even if you somehow provide an answer, the problem is that everyone has to agree in order for your logic to be applicable.
Furthermore, we have all heard of GTA VI, right? It is obviously going to be the generation-defining game and I'll say that whilst I cannot pick out any game for the previous gens, I can, in advance, pick it out for this gen. Ironic.
Re: GTA 6 on Course for November 2026 Launch, Marketing Starts in Summer
It is crazy to read the news and find that GTA V is still very much part of the zeitgeist and presumably a pretty able cash cow even now.
We can look forward to absolutely ludicrous news in the future on how it refuses to die even after being eclipsed by the coming of GTAVI.
I cannot imagine GTA VI not dominating in much the same way for at least 5-6 years until the next Rockstar game emerges. How many consoles will GTA VI help shift? Will the online component launch alongside the single player experience?
Re: You'll Want to Play Crimson Desert on PS5 Pro for Dedicated Enhancements
The comments section today is a fun read. Who knew that basic PlayStation bros would be so salty upon hearing that a game is going to be better on the Pro!
If you go on PS5 Pro-subreddit, all you'll see is genuine praise of its prowess and shared screen shots taken in a state of awe.
The 30+ negative replies are pure copium to combat the fear of missing out. Honestly, you'll should just buy the Pro and live happier lives👌
Am I interested in Crimson Desert myself? Well, it depends on the reviews😊

Re: These 10+ PS5, PS4, and PS Plus Games Are Coming Out This Week (2nd-8th February)
Hectic release schedule, you say?
For once, I could say where are all the games?? There haven't been a release that tempted me to open the wallet for some time now. The last one was Ghost of Yotei, but my New Year's Resolution was to grind down the backlog. The problem is I just pick something from the Plus-libraries.
Right now, I am trying for the first time Dishonored 2 and for a 10 year old game it has been a really charming experience. The Clockwork Mansion is a design masterpiece and genuinely blew me away.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 618
So, I played The Exit 8 which is by far the shortest game I've ever played. It can be completed in an hour or less, depending on how much you cheat by googling how to beat the game.
I am also at the end of a no-death run in AC: Mirage - I'd usually die, but I've been careful and honestly the game is so easy even on Normal that even I can get it done.
I'll continue with Dishonored 2 as well.
After that I'll pick up either BG3 or KCD 2 and continue my runs.
Re: Rumour: PS Portal OLED Version Coming This Year
Whilst others who haven't picked one up yet might be tempted, and new customers probably should go for the newest model, I will not upgrade mine.
I am more than happy with the current screen. It may be important for context that I'm used to LCD-screens and are happy with how they perform.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for February 2026 Announced
Well, I am not particularly happy or unhappy following the official reveal.
That's a step up from wanting to 'flush' Undisputed away. I actually think I might try it out first.
Subnautica is too construction and scavenge focused for my taste. I hit a wall chasing specific things and figuring out the crafting system.
Ace 7 ... I just sold a PSVR 1 headset and an ol' clonky PS4, leaving me with a PS4 Slim, but I'll fire up this ancient war relic and see if it's fun. I don't know if I ever finished an Ace-game.
Ultron... pass on the Metroidvania... just not for me...

Great shout! Are there a go-to site/youtube channel?
I wish I had the energy to research how to open up and fix my DualSenses that drift and 'just' are out of warranty, conveniently enough.

Oh, look!
An actually great Switch 2!

Re: Sony's Sending Messages to PS4 Players Encouraging Them to Upgrade to PS5
@LifeGirl
You are wrong about frames per second - sometimes we exaggerate criticism in our minds to protect ourselves.
According to PSU which are trustworthy only a handful of titles 'are stuck' with 30 fps:
Dragon’s Dogma 2 (via a 30 FPS cap – otherwise you’re looking at uneven FPS between 30 and 40)
Gotham Knights
Industria
The Casting of Frank Stone
The Quarry
The Precinct
Until Dawn
In your second second argument, it seems to me that you make a point that the UI's not faster but you back it up with an ascertion that it lacks features. Nowadays, products are shipped and features are added to them later.
I can tell you that the UI IS faster and it LOOKS sleeker. In comparison, PS4-UI looks dated and reacts sluggishly. I've only seen people complain about the lack of folders for some reason. I never used it, so I can't say if it solves some sort of issue for people.
All this is just to say (mainly to others reading along) that by far a wide margin people are super satisfied with their PS5/PS5 Pros.
At this point, I wouldn't recommend anyone who can easily afford the upgrade to wait for PS6 - it is still very much a hypothetical down-the-line console.
Re: Sony's Sending Messages to PS4 Players Encouraging Them to Upgrade to PS5
@LifeGirl
The only reason being FOMO .... on newer games, better graphics, fast loading times, faster and sleeker UI, compatibility with newer peripheral hardware, more frames per second...
Re: PlayStation State of Play Is Locked in for February, It's Claimed
You mention you think you'll hear something from Haven about Fair games?
Sometimes, I visit their website just to laugh at their moniker "We create havens for endless wonder". Translated into plain English it is a direct admission that A) it is a scam and B) they'll keep it going for as long as they possibly can.
If their software ever releases or leaks, I bet it will be the lowest rated first party studio-game ever by Sony by a 30-point metascore margin.
Re: Comedy TV Classics Inspire Fable PS5 with Interview Cutscenes
Yes, I am.
They really hit people like me with 'Giant Ayoade' that you can kill off according to your whims.
I might get this before I get Indiana Jones which seems like another shoo-in for my tastes.
Damn you M$....
Re: Starfield 2.0 Overhaul Mentioned Yet Again as Wait for PS5 Announcement Continues
I voted for 'summer' in terms of release, but it doesn't align with 2.0 being shown off and hyped now already.
I will instead choose February-announcement and April-launch.
3 out of 4 will say to not bother with this one - what on Earth can they possibly do!?
Re: Sony Set to Delay PS6 Release Date, Claims Financial Report
@Americansamurai1
The timing of the release of the handheld is very interesting. Can they wait for the PS6 to release, or will they make sure that the handheld can work with both the PS5 and PS6 (+ pro-editions) and release it within a year (and a half)?
They updated the Portal to function as a standalone console - that might indicate that they will be holding off.
Maybe that is the best strategy, let people realize that the Switch 2 is nothing more than a PS4 made with a repurposed car-chip that can hardly play modern games. Let Grand Theft Auto 6 establish itself as the biggest (live service) game ever created and see if the Nintendo-crowd can see that they ought to switch 2 PlayStation.
Re: Sony Set to Delay PS6 Release Date, Claims Financial Report
Me and dozens of users on here has stated very clearly that there's no need for the PS6 to come as the early adopters simply aren't interested.
We're talking diminishing returns and an experience that won't be distinguishable to the experience on PS5 Pro. If you have a PS5 only, then yes you're going to notice a difference with gaming on PS6, but not if you have the PS5 Pro-monster.
If you read the comments on here or the PS5Pro-subreddit, you'll gather that people adore their Pro-console and that it really delivers, and PS6 is going to do that for the "standard" price of a console (whatever that'll be at the time it arrives years later.)
Sony has read the room tremendously well and has done everything but live service-games right this generation. It will be the longest generation (so far) and the best generation (so far). It will also become the best-selling console of all time, as PC prices will stay ridiculously high.
Re: PS Plus Essential Game for February 2026 Leaked
No way - it is looking to be the third drop in a row where I just want to flush immediately.
The service had otherwise been doing great for me. That's come to a grinding halt in 2026.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 617
Oh, in light of recent events, I'm going to play Wolfenstein 2: The New Collossus - it is a game about a fascist regime, neo nazist basically, that uses federal soldiers to prey on and kill off American people.
In the world, medias are cowardly censoring the voices of resistance, but you get sent in to clean up and deliver some brutal justice. It was mistakenly characterized as an fps, but really it is a realistic real-life sim
