Even if it only plays ps5 games. I'll get one day 1.

Plus I'll buy a ps6 home console.
@Ricky-Spanish I agree but I don't think it will be thet soon. I think we will get 2 more console generations at least. Consoles will survive as long as people like me are alive and able to by games and it is how we like it.

Once a majority of the console players internet connection/bandwidth/infrastructure/reliability catches up enough to play today's modern games flawlessly, there will still be at that time modern games twice/thrice the size of today's ones that will require more than most console gamers at thst time internet can handle too?

@tangyzesty TBF You are on a video game website. Every article and every comment with the slightest whiff of disatisfaction about absolutely anything is a first world problem. It's a first world hobby! Well owning a ps5 definitely is.

@Member_the_game I'm looking at this. Modern Fifa is just way to hard for me with the dozens of different buttons and stick movement etc. Have been wanting something more arcade!
Do you know where I could find a roster of official teams and players? As they say they have thousands of official teams and players plus real competitions. I am a chelsea fan and would like to know if they have them along with the players plus Premier league and all the other teams plus European leagues.
I live by my wishlist to let me know when sales on games i want are on. I gave up scrolling through the main sales of the week/month page last year. It takes you over an hour to go through a sales page with all the rubbish on there.
I am (hopefully now 'was") always at my wishlist limit.
I read on here that someone refused to buy the game just because of this specific issue/bug. I thought that was a really weird reason not to buy it if you wanted to play it.
I don't think Sony could take the backlash from Steam users not being able to play their Sony Studio games on their xbox+Steam handheld. It would be a baffling decision. I understand the conundrum though as they would be in the situation they have put xbox centric gamers in now. Why buy an Xbox when I could wait and get the games on Playstation + Playstation Exclusives. Although it's looking like day and date for everything in the future, so not even a wait.
The only thing I think they could do is allow it but seriously consider holding back future PC Ports even further back to when they originally came out on Playstation.
@LogicStrikesAgain
It's in this posters name!
Why would an Xbox with unfiltered Steam, and possibly all others like GOG, Epic, even Amazon Games have any reason to buy full price games via Xbox store and not any of the others? Achievements maybe. (Personally if Sony did the same that is why I would but I am in a minority).
As said. Thin margins on hardware if anything if sold at a loss. and no need to buy from their ecosystem, losing where console manufacturers make their real money.
If it's a window to a continuous Game Pass again margins would not support it enough to offset what they lost on xbox store sales cuts.
@LifeGirl To be fair 'the Internet' was pretty high on calling this a failure from the get go. Plus the success of this game , for every million it sells day by day, week by week and in its first month could determine the fate of one of the biggest last independent dev/publisher in the entire industry, whether broken apart or acquired wholesale by new owners who may run it further into the ground for the sake of money (or potentially give us all we dream of by reviving beloved ip). Its news and its why i, and many, come to sites like this.
Agreed. It looks very underwhelming from what they showed. I was expecting major amounts of dropping jaws when I clicked on the trailer. Considering the size of the unit as well I thought whoa major tech is in this....and a shooting gallery...
@ThorsHammer Thanks for the recommendation but I only play 1 game at a time and I'm playing Death Stranding at the minute, only on chapter 8 I think at the minute and want to Platinum if I can..... 150 hours in... I also play slowly!
@Skyliner I bought it day one but had other things, then I saw some good reviews albeit mentioning a few bugs, and also something about the xenomorph spawn rate, which I heard that they have patched and rejigged respectively since. When did you play it, release window or after? How was it?... not asking for a full review, I think I'm asking to get pumped about playing it!
@DonkeyFantasy Same. I had a Steam Deck and sold it as I could not reliably get every single game from my GOG, Epic Store and Prime Gaming libaries running. Even with Heroic Game launcher app. Plus I can run Crusader kings 3 with the Game of Thrones mods on my Rog Ally X. Could not do that on Steam Deck. Which for me, was MAJOR. Love my ROG Ally X. Highly recommended!
A lot of comments from pc folk whining about no 60fps no buy/wait a year or more for pc version with my xxx graphics card, whine whine boast boast.
Why are you on a soley playstation website to the point of signing up to post comments? Go back to to IGN and PC Gamer.
Why do you have a PS5 if you want and have the 'superior' experience of PC?
How long have you been playing video games? What did you do when 30fps was the norm?
Yes 60fps looks better than 30fps. Yes I want 60fps where possible, but won't buy a game that you are excited for that does not have 60fps. That is just sad. And it's slightly pathetic, especially when all you bring to the conversation is 'PC better than PS5'.
If someone has already commented and said the exact same thing you want to say. Tap reply and type SAME.
@Rich33 100% agree. Fi the sake of the health of Sony, Playstation Studios and the health of the industry (keeping completion alive). I hope they generally see it that way too. Plus I've got nothing against them releasing their 1st party on PC later either toomake more off them. Just make sure the juice is utterly squeezed from sales on their own platform first.
Never Nintendo though (at least current generation titles).
@OldGamer999
It won't happen for quite a few years, until console gaming as we know it has changed or shifted. As you say, pretending the switch, switch 2 could run all playstation studio games. Sony, let alone the playstation business make their money from being the platform people buy their games and make their 30% cut on eveything sold. In my opinion playstation putting their studio games day 1 on other platforms, especially switch, is the day they give ther entire user base the option of not needing a playstation along with their 30%. Don't get me wrong they are always thinking about these things and testing waters but for me this would be like handing nintendo the knife to gut them.
@PloverNutter Thanks for the heads up! No bother really, just the first multilayer shooter I ever played (day 1 launch ps3), so a little nostalgic about it.
Wait! Give their IP to successful /up and coming Devs that would possibly jump at the chance to remake one of their classic IPs ?Would have to share the profit but share the risk too.
Maybe Resistance (Reboot) - Let Insomniac create another Team (So it does not conflict with all that they have got on their plate/roadmap for the next 10-15 years) to have some control over it vision wise and keep what was great about the first series, so maybe they handpick the dev team. Again though this would require significant investment.
When it comes to older beloved games like Jak and Parappa etc, sad to say, as much as I would love to see them again, I think they may have had their day. An old style 3d platfomer and a rhythm game. They would need to make them on the cheap (A Parappa game could be easily done cheap I think) and not be full 60-70usd price. Which then probably means at best it will make a profit but not even 5 million and Sony are in the business of making billions. Pulling that 5 million number out of thin air of course but this is small change and there is always a high chance of not making their money back even.
I suppose what I get stuck on in terms of their dormant IP is, what of their existing IP could be relevant today (be it story or genre) and turned into a billions maker? Do they make one of their existing Teams make it, pulling them away form what they are currently known and successful for or spend a huge amount of money creating a new unproven Team to do it?
But how would/could they do this from where they sit now in their current Team structure?
What one of their dormant IPs would you like to see them bring back that you think could sell well with either enough old fans or if made right would draw in enough new fans and make in financially viable?
@BlaizeV
They did release re-release Parappa in 2017 on ps4 (with a visual update I assume), maybe to test the waters, I'm assuming it did not sell well enough to warrant any further investment in money and time on a sequel or re imagining?
However, it could have been the case that they were looking to make tens of millions on a that 2017 updated Parappa 1 game that cost, for example, 500k to do, rather than be content with doubling their investment and a bit more, and that they are too/only fixated on games that they hope to sell 5-10mil+ of at 60-70usd and make hundreds of millions?
Hopefully a game like Astrobot made in three years and will hopefully be a commercial juggernaut (along with its critical success).
Going forward they will no doubt want their big studios to continue to make the big games.
How do you think they could make a new Parappa and make it viable for them? Set up a new smaller Studio like Team Asobi, splinter team within their big studios etc? (just want to point out this is not an antagonistic question like I'm in your face, genuinely would like to flesh this out through conversation
