Am I, a person who nowadays almost exclusively games on his Steam Deck, upset about this decision? Kinda yeah. Do I understand that this is a completely sensible business decision that Sony probably should do to keep themselves from becoming like Xbox? Begrudgingly yes.
I know a while after Hogwarts Legacy came out, some higher up at WB said something that implied that the sequel would be a live service game, so my expectations are pretty much below ground-level right now.
The fact that the previous gen console is still getting this much support 6 years after the ps5 released is so unprecedented and kinda furthers the argument that not only is this newest generation kind of unecessary, but that the PS6 doesn't really need to be a thing for a long time.
Nothing is ever done in corporate America just because. I think it's a little naive to argue this has nothing to do with what's going on. If they wanted a good time to finally give us a release date, they would've either done it at the recent State of Play, or they would've waited for another event-type thing to announce this. Throwing it up online on a random day just screams that this is an attempt to deflect.
Looks pretty awesome. Can't wait for the chuds to all lose their collective single brain cell over the game "going woke" by having a black main character. They already lost their mind when the mc of F looked like a real asian woman and not a gooner character from a mobile gacha game.
I am absolutely loving this art style! And it being worked on by the team that did Dead Cells has me very optimistic for its quality! Definitely keeping an eye on this one!
This is probably one of the best State of Plays we've ever had. An absolute steady stream of bangers, very few games that made me go "Uhh, ok I guess?" like half of the stuff at Nintendo's most recent Partner Showcase.
First Code Vein was enjoyable but still really mediocre. Hopefully this one is at least a little better. I absolutely adore good character customization, but even that can only take you so far.
We are absolutely getting P4 remake either in 2026 or 2027. It seems pretty clear they're doing remakes of 3 and 4 to help fund development of P6 & its engine, which could honestly come out at any point between 2027 and 2030 at this point
#10 feels good, this was genuinely one of the most fun kart racers I've ever played. It can't compete with MK8D but not much really can. But I had way more fun with this game than I did with Mario Kart World
This looks very much like ai. There's several scenes where you can literally see the obvious "ai shifting" of things moving around. Plus how quickly each shot moves on to the next seems like they're stitching together a bunch of different short ai clips
Been gaming since the PS2 era but I've played every generation of consoles from SNES onward. This is by far the biggest letdown as a generation as a whole, no competition. The only console really interesting to me was the Switch, and frankly I think they messed that up a bit with the Switch 2 which I'm a lot less interested in. This has been my least favorite Playstation, and I think we can mostly all agree Xbox has gone off the rails and is currently metaphorically rolling down a steep hill into the woods. Don't get me wrong, the PS5 isn't a bad console by far. But i've never felt so indifferent to a console as I have been with this one.
I definitely think it'll still sell well, but I don't think this will do nearly as well as it could've been if they kept it priced competitively with the PS5. Instead of going toe-to-toe with consoles, it'll really just be a niche thing for tech/PC enthusiasts.
I got this for my Steam Deck a bit ago when it started blowing up! You wouldn't think it would be that fun but it tickled my ADHD brain enough to 100% it, highly recommend!
Thats a big yikes. This things success feels like it hinges on being at least reasonably affordable. If its weaker than a PS5 but costs more thats gonna be a huge blow imo.
Friendly reminder for when this game does eventually come out, if you really wanna play it but are also appalled by R*'s behavior, buying a physical game pre-owned means none of the money from that sale goes to the company that made the game at all.

Re: Some PS5 Users Really Are Paying More for Their Games on PS Store Than Others
If they can afford to discount a game for some people. they can afford to discount it for everyone. Truly despicable

Haven't been interested in an SAO game since the Gun Gale Online one, but this looks pretty decent. Might check it out at some point.
