@Deadlyblack They didn't shoot themselves in the foot. Sony actually takes risks on things with each console, when they made The Cell processor it was way ahead of its time. They only got rid of it with PS4 to save on production/development costs. There is a reason that to this day its so hard to emulate, its a strong complicated processor.

VRR is a really overblown topic when it comes to console gaming. The majority of the userbase doesn't even have the proper TV to accommodate it. Just like 1440p, VRR is something only a very small percentage of players actually care about it.

@doctorhino Not great with the gaming history are ya doctor. I bet you also think Sony championed anti cross play too.

Wow that is a terrible list of games. Now I'm just trying to figure out who made the worst purchase. Microsoft with the 70 Billion for that bad list of games, or Jake Paul's 3.5 million in GI Joe Pokemon cards.

@Victor_Meldrew Yeah, they are. Some are much worse.

Now do the same calculation with other online games. It is no different.

@AhmadSumadi "Yet Series X is the fastest selling XBOX console" Is it though?. I mean Xbox One's lifetime sales was only like 50 million units, after that they started to hide their sales numbers. I wouldn't trust Microsoft numbers. And yes once games start appearing on PC at launch there is literally no need for a console if you have a gaming pc.

@MatthewJP The complainers like the ones pushing this are the ones ruining gaming, and ruining the visions of developers. Cant play a game for 1 hour?, it doesn't take all day to play it. My comment gets removed from mods, but its ok to crap all over devs all day on here, makes sense I guess.

This is yet another distraction to feed the sheep, instead of them making GTA 6. For the love of god, don't buy into this.

@ThroughTheIris56 In what way exactly?. And how is Ellie any different in this scenario?. They are both plain looking skins of female characters. You like most people, are just being a sad Sack(boy) that a character in a video game died, due to a perfectly written story. It happened a while ago, get over it already.

@stefan771 I'm pretty sure it is, when you keep giving them money for online microtransactions they start to get complacent, and don't need another game. New trailer after trailer, nothing but the same game.

Fun Fact: GTA V has now spanned 3 console generations.

Stop playing this game if you ever want GTA 6 to come out.

If you want Grand Theft Auto 6, then stop playing GTA 5 Online. Pretty simple.

For all anyone knows it was just a miscommunication with their marketing team, and nothing more. Don't go celebrating about how complaining here on Push Square changed their minds, as if Sony pays any attention at all to this place. Those saying "told ya" about the $10 upgrades, guess what, those aren't new either.

@Gamakazil I knew you wouldn't explain why you hate it. Typical. You got brainwashed by youtubers to hate a game you never played over some leaks. You are gaming's problem. When in reality, the story plays out perfectly.

@Gamakazil Then enlighten us, what is the issues with the game then? Because you and everyone else only say the same ONE thing. You probably don't even know why you hate it. And that is sad.

Sony will be just fine. I'm sure they don't care about this little site who's users apparently don't buy any games.

The entire "downgrade" arguments are probably due to the fact PS5's are being manufactured slowly due to shortages of materials. So to try to make money, they downgrade which is easy to do, in order to still make game sales. Seems simple to me.

@Gamakazil You ditched it huh, yet here you are. If you can't handle when a lead character dies in a video game then you should just quit gaming all together.

This site and its commenters are the most anti Sony place on the internet, they might as well show Xbox and Nintendo stuff here. Just remember, last Gen there wasn't many free upgrades either so we should be so lucky with what we do get. Keep begging to make everything free, and watch how terrible the quality of our games become.

I'm so tired of Wukong, he doesn't need to be put into everything like do something new. This isn't being run on a PS5 either, its clearly being run a super stacked PC.

@RubyCarbuncle I was about to comment the exact same thing. I dont even think Bethesda can help them, their entire brand hasnt really released anything worth while in a long time.

This entire thing would have been better with unknown actors. All roles cast for this are bad choices.

@Athrum And they should crap on it to be honest. No video game made within 10 years should be 5 hours long, period. There are demo's with more game content then that.

I really dont get it, who cares if there was crunch during development?. That is part of everyday life at almost every job.

The easiest answer as to why games are being announced for PS4 that previous said PS5 exclusive, might have something to do with PS5's being in short supply. The microchip shortage has put a massive delay in production and there is no real sign of them speeding up.

@The_New_Butler I know the history but this crash was exaggerated and pretty much only affected the US console market (outside NA you barely felt it).

The same story could be said about the early 90's when it got over saturated with consoles and games which then had the weak ones die off. There was like 10 different consoles around then too. After 80% of those failed only a few remained and gaming was better off for it. Its the same cycle, the only difference was arcades were already on the way out and PC's base was already established so the drop on the chart wasn't as noticeable.

@The_New_Butler Sure not all games are E.T., but still groundbreaking for that time none the less and most were on the same level, you are just nit picking to make a point. But gaming almost didn't survive? lmao, not sure what universe you have been living in, its been in a constant up rise.
If you played Gauntlet then, you would know how far beyond that was to other games at that time, it had drop in or out co op. You can't seem to separate gaming generations anymore.

@The_New_Butler Sorry but no, see the problem you are having is you are comparing those games to todays games. The games back then were ground breaking for that era. Color reskinning enemy pixels was a simple way to add variety to enemies while saving space on a already tiny file restriction. And none of those games you mention you could beat in 2 hours back then.

@KundaliniRising333 Everything you said is false. Without reviews of random people you don't know, the game industry would be completely fine. The fact companies use people as testers is because gamers have become more and more use to mediocrity. The 80's and 90's were just fine without 4000 reviews for a game.

If this site gives it a low review score, to me that means this game is unbelievable good. The reviewers here are barely gamers based on every review I've read here.

Just remember folks, NEVER listen to reviews. Most game journos can't even play video games properly.

@Loftimus Seriously, enough talking about record profits like you have any clue how much these companies spend. It's called the game industry for a reason. These are businesses that intend to make money, and to use some of those profits for future projects.
These things cost money to make, publishers and developers have to pay employees and other contractors too. When companies make a huge yearly profit do you think all their items should go on sale forever? no that's not how business works.
Why do "gamers" like yourself think that everything should be free for you?. You cry and moan non stop on every article about game prices as if playing a game is a standard of living, when gaming is a recreational hobby not a necessity of life. If you can't afford it, you might need to think about your priorities and maybe give gaming a rest.

This doesn't bother me even a little bit, Biomutant is not a PS5 game, simple as that. Not sure why people even care about this to begin with.

@KingPev Just the fact you said Outriders was generic and in the same sentence mention Destiny, is comedy gold. Destiny is generic as they come.

Its a real shame that based on the price tag of this game and the comments from the developers, it seems like its going to be a very short game. I really hope they don't throw away the opportunity they have with this game.

Why does everyone want every game to be exactly the same, I really don't get it. This isn't Demon Souls, get over it, its completely fine how it is. The entire idea behind this game is to have your character die. How do people not understand that?.

Why put this out before the game is even released? I wish sites would stop posting stuff like this, completely ruins the game.

@KidBoruto If you have the Genshin Impact (PS4) version on your PS5, just go to the Genshin Impact (PS4) game tab, you should see the PS4 Free Upgrade on the right side above Trophies.

@BrintaPap "What kind of elite do you think you are for saying that people should stop gaming" Nothing elitist about it, I'm just getting sick and tired of hearing about pricing in every single article being posted. You all are acting like game prices are taking actual food off your table, and if it is there's a simple solution, stop gaming and eat.

But a helpful tip to everyone that's been around since PS3 days

Make a US account
Buy US PSN cards online
Buy your games on US PSN Store
Enjoy 20 dollars off your games

Your welcome.

Everyone is ok paying 1000's for phones every other year, and almost 1000 for a console, but 70 dollar games!!! OMG!!!BOYCOTT!!.....Stop whining about the price of games, its unbelievable to me that nobody wants to support developers anymore. At the same time those are the ones crying and moaning that games come out sloppy and buggy. A lot of you need to just stop gaming.

The reason a lot of games are releasing as "buggy messes" as a lot of you put it, is because a lot of gamers want things cheap or free. Developers have less resources to work with, which makes them cut corners in development. Cutting corners means "buggy messes", so I agree with him when he says buy games at full price. @Carl-G who posted above me, YES that is bad. You can't afford $70 games but can afford $1000 console and $1000 phones every other year. Support game developers or get bad games from now on.

@Medic_Alert Yes, but you don't NEED to buy the digital deluxe editions. Just buy the standard one, that's why they have options.

@Medic_Alert Nothing you said justifies lowering prices, nothing. Nobody is apologizing for companies. In your mind, the gaming industry having a record number of users/buyers that they should lower prices? Like what is your reasoning behind that. These companies are businesses, they make money, reinvest money, repeat. And if you have been gaming as long as you said, then you would know that prices in the 90's were the same now and higher in some cases.

@Medic_Alert Sorry you are wrong. It's not an excuse that development costs on video games rival movie productions now. Maybe you don't understand how inflation works. Hell I'm old enough to remember a lot of SNES games being $70, this price increase should have happened a long time ago. The other things you mention (DLC, microtransactions etc.) are optional things you don't need to buy, so mentioning them is pointless. And predatory tactics...seriously? That is a parent problem, kids should be learning reasoning skills in school instead of gaming all day.

Why does everyone think Sony started the whole $70 dollar games thing? Wasn't it Take-Two that first brought it out announcing it with NBA 2k. It's called development costs and inflation people, get use to it. Besides, I thought you all wanted to support your favorite developers? or is that gone now too? Being negative towards everything seems to be the new norm lately.

More Playstation doom and gloom articles every day on PushSquare, this is getting real tired. Everyone complaining about 70 dollar games I don't get it. When did everyone suddenly stop wanting to support the developers of video games by buying them?

It seems like the majority of people who browse this site have absolutely no idea what PS Now (A game "streaming" service) is or how it works. Its embarrassing reading most of these comments from people on a Playstation News/fan site.

If you don't know what deal was made between the two, you shouldn't really comment on it. I'm starting to dislike this site more and more. It seems like Push Square's PlayStation news site, is becoming more and more a anti PlayStation site. From the game journalists to the commenters. Nothing pleases any of you.

Honestly the game doesn't need a native PS5 version. The PS4 versions improvements are good enough on PS5, it plays so well as is.
