@Judal27 when you download them, which is normal on every platform.

You're unable to replicate it on the PS5 because it's not happening on the PS5.

Tom Henderson is not a credible source, he just claimed his sources told him the new god of war would be at the State of Play that was supposed to be on the 16th. He's full of *****.

Nobody has even seen any gameplay yet.

@1UP-HUSKY Yep he left Naughty around the time Uncharted 4 released and didn't do any work on TLOU2 at all but that won't stop people moaning about it all over again since the real Karens like @Stocksy don't actually need an excuse act like a Karen, it's just in their nature.

@Stocksy Yeah work culture so terrible that developers line up to get a job there and the gaps between games are so long that by the time a sequel is announced sometimes the hype just isn't there anymore.

Karens have become so entitled that they bitch about 100k plus jobs that made them work some paid overtime then the even more pathetic Karens online get worked up on their behalf simply because it's easy to trigger a Karen.

Ofc you'll never see it that way though, a Karen never does.

It being voluntary paid overtime that nets you a bonus didn't stop any of the Karens crying about it online, I wonder why.

I was already sold on it but that's a cool trailer, it got me even more hyped for it.

@nessisonett Doubt it, doesn't seem worth the hassle. There's only 1 winner per game and you get to design your livery etc for this game but the scanning part is only 1 day of the trip. Say they pick 10 winners for 10 games then they have to fly some of these winners out to the US with return flights as well. I'm sure they could find 10 people in the US easy enough and just give them like 5k each for a days work and job done and the A.I. would need way more training than that anyway. The juice just doesn't seem worth the squeeze.

EDIT: Nevermind -

It just occurred to me you were probably talking about the casting call videos lol.

@GirlVersusGame You're right, I'd actually forgotten he was in that and I didn't realise English wasn't your first language either but I understand what you mean.

He's played a lot of supporting roles over the years as well so although his face is memorable he sometimes doesn't get a lot of screen time so that's probably why people can't remember his name, he definitely has some screen presence though when he gets the right roles.

@KoopaTheGamer Yeah now that you mention it I'd probably end up get pissed off in end but at least for a while I'd think it was funny because it just seems a bit crazy to think about. Well at least I'd get say look ma I'm famous so it wouldn't be a total loss lol.

@KoopaTheGamer Yeah it does sound a bit extreme but they ain't going to leave room for you to sue them so they try to cover every angle.

Not sure what they could do with my likeness that would piss me off though. Honestly if suddenly I started popping up in everything and everywhere I'd probably just think it was funny more than anything.

Yeah I'd probably end up get pissed off in end but at least for a while I'd think it was funny because it just seems a bit crazy to think about. Well at least I'd get say look ma I'm famous so it wouldn't be a total loss lol.

@KoopaTheGamer I would go as far as to say anything written by a lawyer seems suspicious.

@GirlVersusGame Yeah his face and voice are instantly recognisable to me and I can never remember his name for some reason. I've seen quite a lot of the stuff he was in as well.

If they were flying people out to Japan I'd probably apply but I have no interest in going to the US.

I was like who? But then I instantly recognised him but the answer is still no. Nothing against David but unless he's giving me a copy for free then I'm not interested.

As long as it has expandable storage then then I don't mind it to keep the price down. Anyone who wants more storage can just install one like on the PS5.

Despite all the theories like it mentions in the article they've already said what they were doing, this is because they are shifting more towards an entertainment company. More focus on anime, games, movies and music and with more consolidation and cooperation between divisions so TV's etc are being partially spun off.

@RoomWithaMoose He's an Xbox fangirl. He doesn't like Sony and he said he's the source. Yeah right, I'm not believing that until a trustworthy source says so.
.
Here's some proof -

https://x.com/i/status/1733996133909774739

@TensuraFan7 He said he has no source and he's just tossing it out there. He could be being sarcastic I suppose but who is he? Anyone ever heard of him?

Who is this french source? Because as soon as he was asked for his source he basically admitted he made it up.

Those screenshots show the price when signed out and signed in but what's the point? Signed out prices are irrelevant since you can't even buy a game unless you're logged in. Only logged in price comparisons actually matter also PS Plus prices have always been lower for people who own PS Plus.

How do you know that the price isn't just changing when you log in because you get a bigger discount applied if you own PS Plus?

I already own Turbo but glad it doesn't include Horizon chase 2.

Maybe it'll give a little boost to console sales as well.

"It's also stressed in the statement that the layoffs have nothing to do with AI.

Here's the statement from CEO Tim Sweeney."

Yeah, sure Tim, whatever you say.

@Nepp67 Yeah it made me read it twice as well.

The title makes it sound like it's PS5 that's not getting anymore ports. 😭

Anyway as soon as they announced they were rebranding PSN, PC and Xbox fans started spreading these fake rumours. Most of it was just wishful thinking on their part but too many idiots believe everything they see online as well.

Diehard Bethesda fans will buy any slop they put out.

Their share price was just inflated because of hype. If they announce crazy sales numbers it'll start going back up again.

@Noone2025 Sony didn't say it sold best on PS5. Circana did so the numbers came from Capcom also the PS5 version even outsold the Switch version in Japan.

Looks like generative AI slop because it is and Nvidia said so themselves despite Digital Foundry trying to claim it wasn't generative AI.

It was never going to happen overnight but this is what they should do. Nonstop marketing and try to appeal to Japanese gamers again.

Dynamic pricing and targeted pricing are two completely different things and it turns out PS Prices research is also unreliable because they've already had to update their article.

"We clarified the section on IPT_LTM. Previously we interpreted the $29.99 price for GTA V as a “test increase”. In fact the retail price of GTA V (PS5) is $39.99, and both experimental prices ($26.99 and $29.99) are discounts of different depths, not increases. The IPT_LTM table has been updated to include retail prices for context

PC gamers are just port begging parasites. Valve rarely makes games for them so they beg and dream about getting the games from all the other platforms.

£3.74 sounds about right for what I paid for it a while ago off the playstation store. Hadn't played an assassin's creed game in years I wonder if that's why I was offered that price, anyway I have no problem with regional pricing but dynamic pricing does sound scummy but I'd like to know exactly how it works? If they just offer people discounts on the types of games they wouldn't usually buy or play that wouldn't really bother me, I don't buy games until I think the price is right for that game and the price I'm willing to pay is dependent on how much I want a play a game, ofc unless it's just too cheap to care.

Too many people to respond to but I will say this, if you don't actually own a PS5 and you aren't planning on getting a PS6 then you're opinion on this is irrelevant and I have no interest in hearing it.

I'll disregard the 22% since I seriously doubt a lot of them are actually Playstation fans anyway.

Exclusives are important and always will be unless you're a failed platform like Xbox ofc, it's as simple as that.

I'd prefer Sony Xdev still helped again but it makes sense to become a publisher when you're as successful as them.

@Shinnok789 They sold the Death Stranding IP back to Kojima. Big singleplayer first party IP's like Intergalactic or a new god of war should stay exclusive.

I thought it looked like it could be fun to play, the combat looked pretty good and the graphics are quite nice. I want to hear more about this campaign they mentioned as well.

I think this is a smart move, TCL was going to take over the TV market eventually anyway, well them or Hisense. The same way BYD got the EV market or Huawei was going to become #1 in smartphones until the ban.

If they pair Sony's best in class image processing with some of TCL's best panels then this could lead to some really good TVs still and hopefully more affordable since they should be a bit cheaper to produce this way.

@nessisonett Well I can't disagree with that lol and nobody should disagree with this casting either unless the same energy is kept.

@nessisonett Well since it's just a fictional character from a video game it shouldn't really matter should it? I just think it's weird that you think it is sus. He looks the part and he's a good actor and you're sounding a bit self-righteous to me. Did you whinge about Leonidas in 300 as well?

@Fizza @nessisonett So what's your opinion on the little mermaid live action casting? Did that feel sus or sit right?

@Jeremazing The word “slop” goes back centuries, originally referring to the watery leftovers ladled out to livestock.

Exactly the Microslop CEO just wants us to fall in line like livestock and eat from the trough no questions asked.

Xbox dropping to so low they didn't even bother to give them a percentage and how did they manage to go from 3rd to probably 5th in their main market? The Rog Xbox handheld flopped as well.

I honestly thought it would've been closer but the PS5 is just steamrolling the competition lol.

I'll definitely be buying it and I hope it sells more than enough.

Honestly this doesn't interest me in the same way Wukong did when I watched the trailer, actually I'd definitely pick Phantom Blade Zero over this anyday as well.

@Frmknst The prices will come down eventually but they'll still be higher priced than what they were before.

Did your shopping bills come back down to what they used to be?
