@Bot_Bot_69 I've played only Tsushima, which I loved. I never upgraded to a PS5, and now I'm not sure I ever will. The value proposition was never attractive enough to me. The library overall, I think, is still really weak, which is one of the many reasons I think the PS6 is coming far too early. Alternatively, I just spent like $400 on an Analogue Pocket and accessories, which shows my gaming priorities. Love it, by the way.

@Bot_Bot_69 how do you like Yotei compared to Tsushima?

Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. Star Fox Assault.

@naruball I think the blitz of info was to get out all the bad news at once to provoke anger in the same news cycle, rather than invite backlash three different times.

@darylb24 ah, that makes sense. It's unfortunate, but I see how it's effectively legally.

@Balosi great point. For a multitude of reasons, they should commit to discs thrush the PS5 lifecycle

How is this not breaking antitrust laws to have exclusive consumer access? Google got sued for this same thing and lost. And Apple has to allow third party payment options also now, if I remember right

@S1ayeR74 this is a fair assessment

I am 100% a proponent of physical media. And there's no chance I'll buy a PS6 barring future exclusives that manage to be some of the best games ever made. I don't even have a PS5 yet because the library isn't there for me. More and more games I want though are skipping PS4 finally, though, and I'm more interested. (Even though those same games are coming to Switch 1, which is super annoying). But the PS5 is now a collectors item and the used price will remain high forever.

I am a bit confused by the general reaction and these poll numbers. Over 93% of Capcom's sales are digital, so clearly those people aren't exactly committed to physical. Therefore, is the audience here selection bias? If you were to poll every PS5 owner, would 93% of them be fine with Sony ditching discs?

@RobN because government, ideally, works for the citizens. Corporations work for shareholders and profits. Regulation is essential to the function of capitalism.

So without the ultimate edition, you'll never get access to these stores? They'll be in the game, all decorated with a storefront and everything, but you just won't be able to enter, ever?

1. Leaks suck and need to stop. News websites need to stop publishing them too.
2. There is absolutely no reason for a PS6 to exist at this point. The PS5 is plenty good enough, and arguably too good, for another 5 years, minimum.

To me, it would be absolutely psychotic to release the PS6 any time soon. I'm thinking 2030 at the very earliest. It just doesn't need to exist. The PS5 is plenty powerful. Developing for that level of processing and fidelity is already resource and time intensive enough. And the PS5 doesn't have nearly enough games to cement any sort of legacy because Sony idiotically went all in on live service which literally anyone could have told them was an enough idea. I don't see anyone interested in shelling out bare minimum $600 for a console that probably won't have any games for three years anyway.

Just ordered it new in box sealed for Switch for $19. And I got it used but with the box and Lego car for $21 for PS4.

I'm not smart enough for these games. I couldn't solve the second puzzle in the demo for the original.

I'm astounded. Flabbergasted. Never heard anything so surprising in my life.

I have it on Switch. It has been patched a few times, which has helped some launch issues. The basic issue with the game though is the structure. Levels are randomly generated from the same asset set, which is basically the opening area of Shadow Moses. Then there a few mission types, which are retrieve a thing or essentially take out some guards. I'm glad I got it, but you'll only be motivated to play if you really enjoy the gameplay, which admittedly is decent.

This handheld is going to be a monstrosity, which to my preferences completely defeats the purpose of a portable form factor.

@SeanOhOgain I'm actually halfway through Infinite right now. What's the story there?

I just can't imagine investing years of my life into something, and then it never see the light of day. I feel awful for developers who are shut down or their games cancelled after years of committing their energy to them.

He's making up for the $60M he left on the table

@rjejr agreed. I'm not even sure the PS5 needs to exist beyond the SSD. I still don't own one. The value proposition just isn't there for me, especially now. I truly believe we don't need a PS6 for another... 5 years? Game development is already too expensive. Higher poly counts aren't going to make it any cheaper, and they're not going to make games any better either. Technology hardware has advanced as far as it needs to, in my opinion. Now they should focus on bringing down the cost of hardware parts, innovate manufacturing, and develop efficient development tools.

@AgentMantis because the United States owns the world, of course. Haven't you been paying attention?
