I like the idea of this, but the fact that they are PS5 games but say PS2 on the box doesn't make sense. They should have kept the box shape and design, but either just left them PlayStation or put the 5 on it. People would still have understood what generation it came from just by the shape of the box. Implying a new game working on an old console doesn't make much sense aesthetically speaking.
@Enuo gooning is a choice so you don’t have to play this game like that just like you didn’t have to put Eve in the smallest cloths either. You’re probably just insecure about the fact that you do like to goon as much as anyone else here…
Summer Games Fest felt like what Sony used to be 10 years ago. But Sony is still light years ahead of Xbox, lol. Every show has games worth playing though, so it’s all a win in the end.
I don’t understand why companies pay people to make stuff like this? It does almost nothing. You could have just posted the P6 logo on twitter and got just as much buzz.
I thought the first game had promise. But seeing how the second game turned out and how quick now a third can be turned around I imagine it’s just another walking sim.
@RainbowGazelle the console games this generation combined have sold more copies and made more money than any other gen in gaming history, lol. Everyone is still buying games despite a handful of unemployed people on a weird anti AI crusade.
@BearsEatBeets it breeds competition among studios which benefits players in the end. Sony has a massive ego, along with any other company, and feeling the pressure to keep up will absolutely lead to better games. While it might seem like a petty culture war, it will still force studios to try and get better too.
Lol. Or he just got a huge Netflix budget and a well established IP that literally did all the work for him. The animation was the best part. Every character could have had zero dialogue and there been no story and the series still would have been just as good. I certainly don’t regret watching it. I thought it was good enough for what it is. But it’s nowhere in the vicinity of great anime that will ever be remembered.
The “clap back” isn’t even clever given the dev studio is a corporate company too, lol. Kind of makes you wonder how good the writing in the game will be…
To be honest I wasn’t impressed by either top game. Wolverine just looks like reskinned Spider-man and not God of War looks like a DLC pack for Ragnarok honestly.
Given that we know like 78% of Marathons player base are also Destiny players, it will be interesting to see what this games numbers look like come June 9.
@Swandivetotheasphalt quality over quantity wins almost every time. Even if they are releasing less games than Sony, which shouldn’t surprise anyone cause Capcom has 3 studios to Sony’s 20, their quality of games are at least equal to and sometimes better than a lot of Sony’s over the last few years.
Let's not pretend like the culture war hasn't gone a long way to knee cap Sony over the last 5 years as well. It doesn't matter what side of it you fall on, catering to either alienates half a consumer base. Even for a few of the games that came out that still did well, you do wonder if they would/could have done even better had they not tried to lean into it one way or the other.

Really hoping the Gundam game turns out good.
Re: The PS5 Release Schedule for Fall 2026 Is Now Beyond a Joke
I only selected a few. While more than a few look good and promising, day 1 for most of these doesn’t seem necessary.

@AndyKazama the drama will lead to more copies sold just like the first game.

Re: Future Xbox Exclusivity Will Be 'Case-by-Case', PS5 Ports Will Be Revealed Alongside Release Dates
Imagine being owned by a trillion dollar company so every decision you make can just be a coin flip of what you’ll do. Blessed.
Re: 'There's a Finished Version of Gears of War PS5 Sitting on a Drive': New Game E-Day Was Almost Done
I wonder what the timeline where Xbox doesn’t make every wrong decision you could possibly make looks like?
Re: Round Up: All the PS5 Reveals from the Xbox Showcase 2026
Xbox really believes that Gears is the game to move consoles?
Re: Xbox Revives State of Decay 3 for PS5 in 2027
Are they just flipping a coin to see what comes to PS now? Honestly not the worst strategy Xbox would have ever tried.

Re: Stellar Blade: Blood Rain's Reveal Is Allegedly Riddled with Generative AI
Still buying it day 1. New Tomb Raider game is reported to use AI. It’s almost like all the studios are using AI. This war is over, lol.
Re: Rumour: Gears of War: E-Day Was Coming to PS5, Xbox Cancelled Port Very Recently
I was a huge fan of Gears back in the day, but after playing Reload it felt like this franchise just belongs in the 2000’s.

Re: Reaction: Some PS5 Fans Think SGF Showed Sony Losing Its Grip on Third-Parties
Capcom and Square Enix specifically have easily eclipsed Sony.

@MrPeanutbutterz it’s possible I could be alone, but I know you are the one who is truly lonely, lol.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 636
NTE and Destiny 2 though I don’t really know I play either.
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate Summer Game Fest 2026?
Very good. The excellent stuff was excellent. Lotta 50/50 stuff shown off. Moderate amount of slop. Went as well as thought.
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced at Summer Game Fest 2026?
Top 3 on this list were solid and more exciting than anything Sony showed off.
Re: Stellar Blade: Blood Rain Is the PS5 Sequel You've Been Waiting For
Easily the best looking game shown off.
Re: Resident Evil Veronica Confirmed for PS5, Out in 2027

THIS is where they announce Destiny 3. I can feel it, deep down in my plums.

Re: God of War Laufey Voted Best PS5 Game at State of Play
To be honest I wasn’t impressed by either top game. Wolverine just looks like reskinned Spider-man and not God of War looks like a DLC pack for Ragnarok honestly.
Re: Live Service MMO Horizon Steel Frontiers Delayed Until 2027
@MrPeanutbutterz I imagine your ‘life partner’ wrote this out for you to send, lol… good boy.
Re: Live Service MMO Horizon Steel Frontiers Delayed Until 2027
Translation, the game will be canceled in a few months.
Re: God of War Laufey Is Much Closer to Releasing on PS5 Than You Think
@Swandivetotheasphalt imagine being so confident in comparing something that could easily happen to something that literally can’t, lol…
Re: Another Marathon Mess as Bungie Changes Misleading PS5 Store Description
$15 still seems like too much for a game that should be free and will ultimately be shut down anyways.
Re: Poll: Is 007 First Light a Game of the Year Contender?
Doesn’t even seem like second or third place but it’s a great game.
Re: PS5 Early Access Pre-Orders Truly Are Getting Out of Hand
There’s no shortage of stupid things stupid people won’t buy. So you’d be stupid not to sell it to them.

Re: God of War Laufey Is the Next Main Entry in the Saga, 'Coming Soon' to PS5
This game will be a tough sell without Kratos.
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced in Sony's State of Play Livestream for June 2026?
Nothing blew me away. I have to admit Sony for the first time just continues to look off their game.
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced in Sony's State of Play Livestream for June 2026?
@mrmartinrohr you know they are redoing that game as we speak.
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate State of Play for June 2026?
It used to be so easy to make fun of Xbox’s showcase as a Sony fan but I feel like that’s really no longer the case. Very average.
