@AnginaPectoris I know this is in jest but being bullied by the internet or the left and changing is still far weaker than being bullied by your actual government, lol.
@RockyOfficial spoken like someone who has probably lived in a free country their entire life and would have no idea what it would actually take to stand up to a repressive country, lol. You sound tough for the internet though.
@madmaxrules how the hell is PS in trouble on the first party front? They’ve had a string of poor live service endeavors, but the PS ecosystem is still as strong as ever.
I don’t think Sony or the fans care that much. No one is buying an Xbox for any of their games. Outside of Forza, I can’t say anything Xbox coming to PS has even mattered. Sure, we will buy the games if they come. But no one is falling all over themselves to do it. Fable won’t do numbers. Bethesda is a shell of itself. COD will always be multi platform — especially with its dwindling numbers. Xbox has no leverage.
I was on the fence with this game until the demo. The combat was fluid and fun so I knew that even if the story was weak or the game was shorter than usual that the combat would be worth picking it up for regardless.
@Stocksy So don't. No one is forcing anyone to work at any of these companies or keeping you hostage if you start working for one of them. Start your own company or move to a new one if you don't think the culture is good enough. People do it every day. People wait in line for a long time to work at companies like Naughty Dog.
But yet everyone wants to blast AI right off the bat which will actually help with crunch, lol. You can tell who has never worked in an actual industry because they think AI is just taking jobs that would otherwise go to real people. False. Most companies will just make the real people already employed work longer and harder. They won't create new job listings.
To be honest I don’t think Sony fans have much anticipation for this game anyways. If it’s not named Forza, who cares about anything Xbox coming to PlayStation really. Halo Campaign Evolved is the only other Xbox game that has any real anticipation this year too. I’m pretty sure the culture war surrounding Fable will be more interesting to watch than playing the game itself, lol.
Shocker that putting $300 million dollar games on Gamepass didn’t last, lol. Probably why you never saw Sony ever put brand new first party titles on PS+.
I played this on Xbox day 1 when some people reported crashes but never once experienced it myself for the 100 hours or so I played it. I think it’s less common than the article suggests. Especially if the sources are brain-rotted Redditards.
No this ain’t enough. I’m gunna wait 7 more years and 900 more patches and until the game is on sale for $3 to play. For now I’ll just keep coming to these articles and telling everyone I’m waiting.
I have no allegiance to Castlevania so I don't care what the art style is. But I will say my immediate reaction was this looks like more PoP Lost Crown. Not a bad thing necessarily. But it does look a tad generic. If they let you play on chud mode, I could see myself picking it up on sale.
@McDosy Marathon is a AAA game because it was developed by Bungie who is a AAA studio. It means they pay AAA salaries to all their employees. All 1,000+ of them. It doesn’t matter what the game loos like in the end, if it took them 5 years to make this, it’s 5 years of paying average 100k salaries and benefits to the most hundreds of people. You can’t just look at the end product and go this doesn’t look AAA. If Bungie made a 2d side scroller it would still be considered AAA because the cost to make anything at Bungie is extremely high. That’s why they need much higher sales to compensate.
The cheater problem this game has right now is on par with how bad the initial art scandal was. Any Destiny player could have told you cheating would ruin this game. They never fixed cheating in Destiny either. It’s just the stakes are way higher in Marathon for losing to cheaters. This game can’t be saved.
The average person will buy a good game with some AI over a bad game with none. So just focus on making a good game because virtual signaling doesn’t sell in 2026, lol.
@Matroska internet chuds simply don’t understand how using AI as a tool is not a bad thing. I can’t wait till someone finds something AI in this game day 1, lol.
@AnginaPectoris for a game like this you need player feedback. 2-3 more months delay would just mean ANOTHER 2-3 more months after that for these same changes. Enjoy waiting for another year for the sale you desire though.
@4fold Brother it won't get the PlayStation in much less than 6 months, lol. And it won't be half price when it does. You'll be waiting at least a full year before you see that price on PS.
If all they did was let us hide trophy lists for games we don't want to see that would be a huge win in my book. I don't care THAT much about it, but if the option existed I would definitely use it. There are games you play for an hour, unlock a few trophies, realize the game isn't worth it, and it would be nice to just hide it's existence, lol.
@LordAinsley If it isn't significantly easier than Returnal, it won't find the success uppers are looking for. Returnal was highly praised by the games community. But we know that is not nearly enough in 2026. I think a lot of people will wait on the fence to see if the game is actually approachable for normies.
@Oram77 I mean this doesn't have anywhere near the name recognition that Yotei went in with — and all because of Tsushima. So it shouldn't surprised anyone the marketing budget is way smaller. Yotei was supposed to sell 5-10 million copies over a life span. I don't think this will even sell half that, even if I also don't think Yotei will ever hit it's desired number either.
@IntrepidWombat it's the age old marketing trick even if you could. You would only ever be able to tell side by side. People's eyes adjust to what they are looking at. 4k, HDR, higher frame rates... it only impacts you if you look at specs, constantly bounce back and forth, or look at stuff side by side, all of which 99% of people don't do.
@somnambulance You claim that Uncharted 5 would be a game "everyone loved" but wouldn't need the main character that made the game a game everyone loved? Just — lol.
@Dogbreath It seems more likely they just slaughter Uncharted than redeem themselves. If Naughty Dog had learned anything, Intergalactic wouldn't be what their next project looked like.
I don't really have any faith in Naughty Dog to tell good stories or develop good characters anymore. Uncharted ended well so I hope they just leave it unless the studio gets a major leadership shake up. When Intergalactic flops, this will be another powerhouse studio of the past.
