@themightyant ....... As Hugo from Lost used to say : 'YEAH ITS ONLY YOU DUDE'.

@DETfaninATL ........Rockstar are a talented team too and yet the have really worked on 1 game for 15 years and sold it on 6 consoles + 3 generations of PC architecture releases and are still milking it today so wht can ND milk their game as much as they want, there are over 10000 in the wilr playable on any device u choose to play so why are u and everybody on ND's and Sony's case

@frabbit ........ but u are not a fan just a customer who got into the hype of the original game cause it was vogue at the time.

Fans don't question but buy without hestitation and asking ......the 20million + people who buy FIFA, COD and who play Fortnight are fans. The people constantly buy the super over prices Iphone release each year are fans, people who spend $5000 + on A Pc are PC gaming fans. Man u fans are still with Man u even in their ***** state.

Customers on the other hand are always right and they are the once to first nit pick anything they have to shell out money for cause think they money is special when its paper and transaction.

So its understandable the fake outrage as thats what consumers or customers behave always in an outrage because they are always feeling like they are being cheated of their hard earned cash.

@riceNpea ....the movie and books media are professionally critical half of the movies that break box office records and have high viewership are mostly not highly praised critically in the movies and the books that hit best seller must really be a hit with readets are they are critically acclaim but the gaming media has become like musi industry when people pay dj's and radio stations to have their songs on charts. Gaminh journalism is exactly like that. The pinnacle of game journalism ended during the 5th and 6th gen i.e. PS1/N64 and PS2/Dreamcast/Gamecube/Xbox era. From the PS3 era it went into the pits anf became garbage equal to tabloid journalism. I mean IGN went on a lie companign that actual fully brained thinking gamers believed with the ND/AMMY HENNING lies that everyone in the gaming paraded as truth even this publication Push Square and no media has ever apologised to ND, AMY HANNING NOR JIEL DRUCKMANN. Now that aweful lie has went on to cloud TLOU11 which affected sales of thar game badly and its reputation.

And then you have Push Square peddling the nonsese for clicks as thry know for sure which subject are flamely and will result in traffic and they never refrain from publishing this fan flaming articles

@nomither6 .....you just cracked me up.... you are just a funny dude.

And correct ou4 brokeness will stop the industry from running crazy just like we are doing right now as we have not spend as much on gaming as last year and now the execs are panicking.

But next year is insane ........ i mean so many great games coming up

@BAMozzy ...... Not sure what u mean by my bias .....

But Mobile does not bring the MTX money on PC and CONSOLE.

FPS is still popular hence people still asking for Half Lyfe Alyx to be on PSVR.

What is no longer populae is TABLETS, Do tech companies still make those except for Apple?

TV software and TV apps are like HD DVD they never took off as anticipated.

Most people buy laptops for work and very seldomly for gaming.

Maybe Steam deck with Valve trying to go after Nintendo's HYBRID MOBILE CONSOLE market after everybody failed to outsell PSVR. This is another indication of the POWER OF THE PLAYSTATION PLAYER BASE. Nothing happens in Blockbuster gaming without PlayStation having a say in it. Virtual Reality is now going to really kick off and take a proper hold once PSVR2 launches and not at any other time. Even Half Life VR could not save all PC VR headsets.

So XBox's play anywhere push seems to be misplaced like the Kinect and DRM.

As for Mobile:
Also just because a person has a smart phone does not mean you automatically are able to play anygame anywhere as right now u cannot play PES on any device that does not have a minimum of 4GB ram even though KONAMI said the game requires 2GB minimum and the game uses UNREAL engine which EPIC claim it is quality scalable but actual live test disprove that claim. So a 4gb ram phone is a premium phone so only premium phone buys can atleast at minimum access XBOX on their mobile and premium phone means 'any device anywhere' is a lie. Even the WITCHER GWENT MOBILE does not work on any non premium phone i.e. minimum 4GB ram.

So anything exclusive to XBOX ecosystem is not mutliplaform and is not available anywherr on any device. That is a huge number of people they are losing out on just on mobile and if u are not on PS they u might as well be dead except for PC.

So all A/B games u mention will die if XBOX make them exclusive.

So really the A/B deal is a loss to both XBOX and A/B if it becomes exclusive to XBOX.

It is the same fate faced by every XBOX exclusive game including Starfield. E.g. if ORI games were multiplatform i.e. available on PS they would have been smash hit ala Rocket League and Fall Guys.

@Starkei ...Damn that's cool. CM is just too dope.

For me WWE did not handle EDDIE GUERERO, CHRIS BENOIT, CM PUNK, EDGE AND BRAY WHYAAT very good.

Thesr guys were certified gold for WWE by they decided to focus on other Superstars they should have never focused on such as THE SHIELD ......these guys were way too much and too soon when they had other Superstars to push

@get2sammyb .....Well it was a bit confusing i mist say as i thought it may be another part of your site i did know about but then wondered why it would be discussing a ps games.....

Anyway it sounds a cool idea, thought maybe you can bring it back and each franchise u cover have it contextual theme color ......

@GagaOooLaLa ....Lol.....LMAO
...HAHAHA....CAN'T STOP LAUGHING..
You have just made comment of the month...... i mean what u say is so true.....this is the first Xbox original ip in the last 5 to 6 years all with x1x, xbss and xbsx being released.

It truly shows how bad it is on the $GREEN team

@get2sammyb ..... So Sony based their PC port push based on Covid statistics projections not taking into acount that Covid will pass .......
I hopd this puts a break on more PC ports and Sony goss back to exclusively focusing on the PlayStation brand

@Grumblevolcano ......since from FIFA 08 OR 09 EA's football game has been nothing but FUT and some offline modes. So essetially EA football game has been an online/multiplayer/F2P game that does no need anything FIFA marking branding to sell. i.e. people who buy EA's Fifa don't buy it for football or football related reasons. People buy fifa for FUt, the FIFA esports tournaments for the prize money and the rest buy it or play it because their friends play or buy it. This is not gpimg to be changed by any branding.

So if people bought football games for football or football related reasons then PES will be topping the charts but no one buys that game hence even KONAMI decided to make it a F2P game.

So EA SPORTS CLUB 23 OR whatever it will be wull still be topping charts next year and still printing money from FUT packs anf mtx

@BAMozzy ...... The state and status of HALO and GEARS OF WAR shows that both 343 Industries and Coalition are not interested in working on both franchises. Remember COD currently occupies the postion that was occupied by HALO i.e. THE # FPS SHOOTER......before COD everyone wanted to makea 'HALO KILLER' until Bungir decided to part with MS and A/B finally toppled HALO. So now since Bungie left XBOX HALI has fallen so far from its perch thaf it only lives on reputation alone to the point that XBOX had buy out the company that dethroned their game......

So actually this XBOX acquisition is bad for both A/B and COD

@Arisen ....100% correct..... it seems they knew ACT/B was pn sale and i think they deliberately announced they being open to sale or partnership 5o make ACT/B think that EA is also in trouble so that ACT/B don't pull out of the deal.

This will knoff COD off the #1 FPS SHOOTER spot and it will creat a void on PS which Battlefield and Destiny will fill and may have a knock on effect o PC too.

Actually if you think about.... if COD goes XBOX only it will actuality hurt the franchise and may actually kill it off........

XBOX/MICROSOFT have not been able to put back HALO to the deity status it was on when BUNGIE was in charge of it.

@Pat_trick LMAO.....LOL.. OH MY GAWD.... DUDE THIS IS THE COMMENT OF THE YEAR FOR THIS YEAR....

EA were never going to be bought by anyone...... how do you buy anything the DEVIL owns..........

@Starkei ....oh my god.... is CM PUNK on AEW or will he be in this game........

CM PUNK! CM PUNK! CM PUNK!

@Jacko11 ..... Yeah i did know YUKES were the one maoiny the game..... THW must make this know.

YUKES are the masters of the wrestling game genre ...... that was the only thing i need to know that this title is being made by Yukes....

So its good bye to 2K's WWE unless they make the ladies the focus of thr game as that is the only good thing about WWE at the moment the Ladies Wrestling is topnotch........ WWE cockedup when they let BRAY WHIATE GO AND THE FIEND STORYLONE

KUDOS to Yukes for holding on not closing shot........ i personally think sony should buy THQ and YUKES .....

@nomither6 .... its besides that.......

What I'm saying is that Blizzard is not actually surveying to see how many people are willing to shell $45 for cosmetic item which do not even cost a kilobyte of code to make.

Why they are trying find ouy is how much backlash will resuly anf how much backlash will result it bad reputation for overwatch. Remember this was a full game during Ps4 era now its sequal is a F2P on next gen and it has a cosmetic items costing over half the original full game at releases........

Even EA dropped FiFa marketing/branding only because they know they have FUT sheep who are now converted give away their money freely to EA for packs.

So it was cheaper to focus on cosmetic microtransanction and try to get gamers to get used to them and tell them about it via a psuedo survey so that when the actual game has basic generic skins and the only decent ones being locked being $45 mtx, then Blizzard will say the survey showed them that gamers were happy with the mtx locked skins ......

We are left with probably the last 6 years 8 at max of pre-online game design paradigm.

Ps6 if it even launched will be a non disc based drm always online only game rental console.....

@themightyant .....and people moan about Sony charging $70 for a full game....

I suppose we derserve tuis future

Everybody championing Gamepass as value for money gaming are fools who arr being slowly hooked to convertbto digital game rental once GP anf F2P brcome the norm then we will be paying $100 to given an access code to be play to even start the game and once in game another $80 to unlock playability..........

But by that time it will be too late to turn anything around......

For examble i play mortal kombat mobile because my ps4 is dirty and hence overheat so not bothered to clean it and too broke to pay someone to clean it

But Nethereal just released The JOKER as a playable character but you can't unlock him by playing or grinding you have to buy him for half the price of a full PS5 game.

Now if they can make half the money of a full priced nexr gen game....... why would they even bother spending millions on developing anything nee or innovative if they can print money by gating game access and playability.........

Its one of the reasons i also want to go in development .... i mean if u can make a game like fall guys and gimjicky but hookey machanics and things inside the game the slowly hook the players into buying ingame items at ridiculous price and then keep updating the game with in game events for FOMO and print money till eternity ala Fortnite, FIFA , GTA and all other microtransanction based games

The interesting question is how does Hello Games pay their bills with so much free work they have done on NMS.

The updates equate to about 3-4 games worth of content and all for free, who pays their bills? ........I wonder....

@get2sammyb ..... COMMENT OF THE DAY MR SAMMY.......

@TheArt .....Who does that..........
Answer: A GOD.

Remember Kratos is a GOD.

@Juanalf ......GLAD somebody finally mentions this. GOW 2018/ REBOOT is an excellent game with incredible story but the combat felt like an afterthought even though it is a major part of what you will be doing in game. KRATOS is a God yet the game had him fighting minions and really struggling with them yet in the GREEK games he ws toppling gods and deities. So the combat for me felt bloated as i expected deities and hard as nails characters and KRATOS TO BE A POWEEFUL GOD HE IS. THE AXE WHAT COMPLETE CRAP OF A WEAPON HENCE WHY THE BLADES OF CHAOS GET BROUGHT BACK IN THE 2nd HALF OF THE GAME.

@LiamCroft .........Sorry Liam its Sammy anf Robert Ramsey who usualy do FIFA reviews apologies

@Flaming_Kaiser ...Also his fifa review never go below 8 ...never ever......and he also will never admit that Fifa is now a slot machine ans unlike all other sites is reluctanct to call out FiFa casino/gambling tacticts unless blasted by fan thats Liam in Nutshell. He never gets this critical about games from publishers or developers he likes............ If this was from EA or CD PR or Rockstar it would get a 9..........he is more of a fanboy than a gaming journalist.....nor a critical journalist......just a fanboy for his favourite publishers and developers..........

@Milktastrophe ..... Just Logged-in to tell you that, THANK YOU for doing what the whole article claims to do but DISMALLY fails to do, which was to explain what netcode is in layman or simple or basic terms.

PUSH SQUARE should pay you for the job Mr Ramsey failed to do.

@Robert Ramsey, sir you do own mr @Milktastrophe some of your Push Square salary for this week or month, in your article you explain netcode like you are descibing to someone who already knows what it is which is not what you said you were going to do in your article. Kindly own up to that kind sir and updatr the article with a description akin to then description of Mr @Milktastrophe.
Just wanted point that plainly out.
Thanks.

@Uncharted2007..... Difference is SONY knows they have an incredible Library from 94 till today.

Compared to Microsoft Xbox who's decent library was on the 360 only then XBOX BC is kind of useless since its native BC for a lucklustre Library.....

If Xbox had a library matching Playstations' long rich quality library then even Sony would be concerned.

So BC works if you have quality content, its useless if you don't, hence why Xbox then made GamePass and gobling up big publishers and studios.

@Rob_230....... Thanks Rob my man...... You've given the best answer as to why sony is launching both HFW and GOWR on both PS4 and PS5..... These are now the big flag barrers.....along with the Spiderman franchise and GT.

Whereas the following titles launched on PS5 exclusively for the following reasons:

Rachet and Clank -
Revival/Proper reboot and see if Insomniac can take the franchise in a new direction

Demon's Souls -
To get a final test as to whether to continue with the franchise or cann it indefinitely, so far so good as its a niche series but will most likely be put on ice. It was also a title used to buy time to keep Bluepoint away from industry claws while reorganising the entire worldwide studios and XDEV to prepare for acquisition.

Retunal - Was a Sony originally a requested launch project/title and a test to make a final decision om whether to buy Housemarque which they passed with flyinh hence the acquisition.

This looks wow. Hope its open world action rpg with Detroit Become Humans decision making and story branching mechanics and maybe incorporate everything from all the games they've done so far.........fingers crossed as Quantic Dream have not as yet made an open world game and their sand boxes have been a bit on the not too big side in terms of size.

The store scene in Heavy Rain and the opening bar / toilet scene in Fahrenheit are unforgettable

@get2sammyb... Stop trying to sell us ONLINE GAMING Sammy...........

Clearly this could have been the single player offlime dlc that they promised years ago, i guess the ONLINE SHARKS tells them otherwise

@Uncharted2007...... Rewatch the video, they clearly address motion sickness .........

@get2sammyb.......
Judging from the comments below
This looks the first GT game to be DOA.

And it seems the racing genre is experiencing a sterile phase. which it has bren ina slump of the entire PS4 generation ........ ...

@Fenbops..... Cause as Eminem says "WITH POWER COME NO RESPONSIBILITY" so theres that....

@vapidwolf..... Sony waiting a week for concrete investigation while a pic of a guy accused of pedophilia wearing a PS5 t-shirt seculates online while their trying to sell PS5 is almost suicide

@Fight_Teza_Fight.....
Not meaning to soind insensitive to those affected......

I think Sony fired him more for the PS5 t-shirt than what he may have actually did.

I mean having you biggest product and brand directly associated with a person linked to what the guy is accused of is totally BAD publicity particularly in the festive season right close to Christmas...............

@DominusPlatypus.... Well maybe it has to do with the fact that Japan is the Home of Sony who happen to be the owners of Playstation....... So...

@Rob_230........ Clearly you are not aware of how much the game makes from casuals...... If it was not for casuals FIFA's profits and
popularity would have dwindled long ago ala PES........

Dropping or losing the FIFA brand name will hurt this game and will potentially change the gaming landscape of the footie genre......

@suikoden..... So EA have finally met their greedy cousin FIFA

@Grimwood.......
Think exactly the same..... The game world looks like a boring empty corridor or boring empty museum........

@AFCC...... This game has what the FromSoftware games formula nack.......and that is dying for the sake of dying or being hard...........

I love how death is handled im the game, this will make your every action count whch makes decisions weighty and removes the tedium.........

Very hot looking indeed........

SO FAR THE MOST INTRIGUING ANG GORGEOUSSLY AND FRESH LOOKING GAMES THIS GEN:
Little Devil Inside
SIFU
BLACK MYTH
WOLVERINE
DEMONS SOULS
RETURNAL
RATCHET AND CLACK RIFT APART
GRAN TORISMO 7

NEW GEN IS VERY EXCITING INDEED....

@Loftimus...... Sorry to burst your Rockstar fanny fanboy crush bubble but no work was put into this crap.........

You are the shill that is wrong with gaming...... You are the shill gamer that ensure we receive crap like this every year..........

You look so dumb defending a company that has made over 6 billion dollars in revenue....

This is not hardwork being put it:
"The two-year development was focused on maintaining the look and feeling of the original games; the physics code was copied from the originals, and an artificial intelligence program was used to automatically upscale textures. The development team studied the distinctive qualities of the original games. They added several colouring, weathering, and lighting effects, as well as new assets from Grand Theft Auto V (2013). The team consulted with the original developers at Rockstar North when upgrading the character designs."

So no...... No Amount of hard work was put in on this crap.....

The graphics were done by an a.i. program using upscaling techniques......... So the devs didn't touch the graphics.....

Everything else was copy and paste and they still completely failed.......

They did not put in an ounce of hardwork.........

They only real work they did was using the popularity of the original 3 games to cash grab suckers like you using baked marketing trailers.........

Compared to the same work done by Bluepoint for a full Ps5 game this is piss poor and a joke and there is no excuse or defending Rockstar for this crap....

@get2sammyb...... Where is the review....... Surely it can't be that hard yo review this trash of a cash grab

@quinnyboy58....... They Trying to give Rockstar time to patch the so game so it can be reviewed after being patched after launch...... That's why there are no reviews..... They did the same with Anthem and did the same with CP2077......

@kingbreww..... Yep..... CDPR took 13mil sale from shavelware so Rockstar thought why not take a punt on suckers again with pre-orders......
