@MrPeanutbutterz exactly this. Trying too come from this in a moral superiority standpoint is really stupid when gaming as a whole is objectively terrible for the environment but yet people still play games.
@ThePlaystationStan wow continue to play defense for a billion dollar corporation. They can’t come and take my physical copy that’s the whole point. It is a big deal considering people spent their hard earned money on a product and it’s getting taken away, specifically with Sony taking away digit movies. People like you saying it’s not a big deal is a major reason why things in media are as bad as they are
@ThePlaystationStan idk owning a proper physical release is a pretty valuable thing in a time when Sony is removing movies that people bought on their digital service…..
@ThePlaystationStan you being a woman doesn’t have anything too deal with what you said being stupid. Bringing up environmental concerns when you are using a device that is just as bad.
@twitchtvpat no I’m saying that physical games were the main reason why I have mainly been a ps5 gamers and now that they are taking that away I have no reason too remain on PlayStation.
Of all the games that are coming out in September that stand to at least hold their own Onimusha certainly stands a better chance then say Dawnwalker or Control Resonant. Fire Emblem will probably be fine and is not really part of this conversation will say.
Easily my most anticipated game for the rest of the year. It’s the prime example of what PlayStation should be doing in the live service space. Making a smart bet with a partner developer in an open part of the market.
@Oram77 Sony needs a healthy balance. The problem wasn’t them doing live service, it was how. It was having 12 games some of them in the same genre. It was buying studios like Firewalk and Haven. It was thinking that Concord was going to be a Star Wars level ip for them. It was having single player focused teams making live service games.

I appreciate this. I love RGG wisely reusing assets making different games, but it’s nice too see a studio that really grew into their own this generation aim big with a big ambitious game.
Very unfortunate. While Destiny does need to be put on ice it shouldn’t have been like this. I truly hope Sony gives Bungie the runway to pull a Rainbow Six Siege style combat. I know it’s much easier said then done but marathon does have a solid core.
I hate this with every bone in my body but I low key appreciate Rockstar announcing this before pre orders start so that way I know I don’t need to even consider buying gta 6 this fall.
A delay is usually always the right call. I want the game to be better but it pretty skeptical with how much pandering the ceo does. Also yes it would have gotten destroyed this fall but low key it’s not like Q1 is much better. I hope the game is good and it sells well if it’s good.
This might be the most pleasant surprise out of SGF. The fact that the campaign is a roguelite is fascinating. If all the parts land right and reviews well I kinda wonder if the positive unique single player might mean galactic racers gives Forza horizon 6 a run for its money for best racing game of the year or at least in the award season.
Only reason why they weren’t making enough money too justify pc releases is cause they weren’t day and date. Now to be clear it’s probably not worth the pc sales to lose out on exclusives so having a limited sales base is well worth the sacrifice.
@JAMes-BroWWWn low key just be happy it’s even on the list man. Nioh 3 is a phenomenal game yes but it 1000% lost all attention when the onslaught with Requiem and onward. The fact that it even is on the list is impressive and good.
Really happy with this list. Nice wide range of games. Especially happy seeing Saros be as high as it is and also that Nioh 3 even made the list. Great year so far.
@Max_the_German LOL are you really shocked that Marathon isn’t on that list???? As for Saros, it’s way more of a hardcore game than almost every other 1st party PlayStation game. It’s not some 3rd person action adventure game with a focus on narrative.
@Art_Vandelay mean this seems like a big stretch. Yes a single platform is easier overall but everything is so similar nowadays and they still are heavily investing into the tech required to make these games.
Not really shocking. They could absolutely make way more money on pc if they would do day and date releases but that hurts their consoles so it makes sense to just focus on consoles. With Xbox being a ***** show I really hope Sony is on a more stable track and while they are going to invest in live services, too just do it the right way and not how they were doing.
@AtomB like it or not but live service games are not going anywhere. Are a lot of them dying and failing, yes. But the biggest games in the world are still live service. That being said there is a right way and wrong way to do live service and being multiplatform is required for it.
It launched right next too starfield and armored core 6 when it was intially supposed to launch in July. Low key think had it launch earlier it would what found some success maybe. But hey the entire dev team pretty much moved under absurd ventures (one of the Houser bros of rockstar fame) new company and are making a game so there’s that.
Unfortunate but not shocking. Most of those games are good if not great, but that’s not good enough nowadays. Xbox’s main problem is few and far between heavy hitters that are sales and critical darlings. Would say the only real GOTY level games they had were Indiana jones and forza horizon 6. Those other smaller games would be nice additions to the big guns and not the main “big guns”. Just happy Indiana Jones and doom the dark ages appear to be within expectations. Also will say I think saros’ “failure” is being over exaggerated. It’s budget was way smaller then most AAA games and it should have a long tail.
@PuppetMaster it certainly isn’t going to be as low as those other games you listed. It’s certainly better off then almost every other game besides Wolverine for September
@16BitHero don’t get me wrong, it’s a single metric that isn’t a guarantee. But at least on ps5 for the pre order chart it’s holding its own it seems which is better then not
