All the comments saying that no one will leave PS. Just because you don't have the principles to stand by what you say, it doesn't mean that the rest of us don't. I have enough games from past consoles, games that I OWN and can sell on if I so wished, I don't need a PS6. PS2 alone, I have more games than any other platform.
All the people, saying they are so tired of this discussion, no one forced you to click on the article. Plus, this discussion doesn't affect you. You will still get your games digital!
They won't back down, and I won't be buying a PS6. shrugs I'll put the money towards getting my hands (literally) on the hard to find PS2 games that I have been searching for.
I've already cancelled mine. I only used it for cloud saves. Not being able to transfer PS5 save data to a external harddrive (in order to drive more players to PSN), really left a bitter taste.
I wasn't expecting them to acknowledge the backlash. I have already cancelled my PSN subscription and won't be buying a PS6. I'll pivot to retro gaming.
How, if at all, will this affect the price of past generation games? Some PS2 titles already go for eye watering prices, regardless of how good the game is.
I can't believe how people have such short memories. Sony just removed movies that gamers have paid for, from their consoles. But sure, let's make snarky comments about people not wanting a digital only future.
Well, at least I had a good run. Master System II to Playstation 5, and plenty in between. This takes a tough decision out of my hands. Thank you Sony.
With the news of digital movies being removed from consoles, good luck to those naïve enough to welcome a digital only industry.
I'm glad to see it met with such success. The 14 year wait was worth it. I had a blast with it, and First Light has now replaced EON as my gold standard for Bond games.
'Driving feels iffy.' Is that based on just driving the DBS? The driving in Bloodstone was excellent, but the DB5 handled like you'd expect a car of its age to handle.
QOS was better on PS2, than the next gen port,. On PS3/360 it was more COD than Bond. Everything Or Nothing was peak Bond game. Blurring the line between film and game like no other game before or since.
I'll be playing on a base PS5, and I can wait for this. 14 years since the last Bond game, ignoring the two mobile games, I am so ready for this. I'm confident that, at the least, it is going to be amongst the best Bond games.
It's ridiculous to even consider paying this much for a standard edition of a game. Unfortunately, hardcore GTA fans (of which I am not one) will pay it, to avoid FOMO.
I must be in the minority as I don't have any interest in GTA. 007 First Light is my most anticipated game of 2026, followed by Tomb Raider (unless it gets delayed).
As for all the GTA addicts, talking about contrarians, not everyone is frothing at the mouth for a new GTA.
Not with the price hike it wont. All in all, I think this generation has been a bit underwhelming so far. And it doesn't feel like it has hit its stride yet (what with everything that has happened externally, it feels ridiculously early to even consider the PS6).
@kyleforrester87 I'm not sure about Free Market, but rather than petition, just don't buy any forced online games. Not buying their games, is the only response a developer will understand.
I only just discovered this series about a fortnight ago. I downloaded the demo of Atelier Yumia, and I didn't even finish the demo, before I ordered a copy of the full game.

Re: Disc-Based PS5s Now Warn Buyers About the Impending Death of Physical Games
I have already come to terms with not getting a PS6 through lack of support for physical gaming. So Sony can double and triple down all they want.
Re: Sony's FlexStrike PS5 Fight Stick Delayed Indefinitely, Now Launches After Marvel Tokon
You've got to hand it to Sony, they have done an amazing job in directing our attention away from their war on discs.

Could CEX get by on what will become retro games?

Re: Rumour: State of Decay 3 Dev Also Facing Xbox Axe, Just Weeks After Game Was Revealed for PS5
This is one XBox exclusive that I really want to see make it's way over to PlayStation. I played a ton of SOD2, while I had an XBox One.
Re: 'I'm So Happy I Didn't Get It': Ben Starr Auditioned for 007 First Light's James Bond
It worked out for the best. Patrick Gibson is so so good, I hope this isn't the last we see of his Bond.
Re: 'We're Going to Be Smart About This': Amazon Games Boss Addresses 007 First Light Concerns
Take a back seat, and let IOI make the next game.
Re: Mission Accomplished: PS5 Hit 007 First Light Sells Nearly 3 Million Copies in Its First Week
Congratulations to IOI, First Light is a fantastic game, and my new favourite Bond game.
Re: Poll: Is 007 First Light a Game of the Year Contender?
For me, it is the GOTY.
I really hope that Amazon remains hands off going forward, at least until IOI is done with the licence.
Re: James Bond Tops Another Chart, 007 First Light Was the Best-Selling Game on PS Store in May
I'm glad to see it met with such success. The 14 year wait was worth it. I had a blast with it, and First Light has now replaced EON as my gold standard for Bond games.
Re: 007 First Light Debuts to 1.5 Million Sales in Just 24 Hours
So it sounds like we will be getting a 2nd Bond game for ioi. The 14 year wait for a new Bond game was worth it.
Re: Review in Progress: 007 First Light (PS5) - James Bond's Origin Adventure Is Highly Entertaining
'Driving feels iffy.' Is that based on just driving the DBS? The driving in Bloodstone was excellent, but the DB5 handled like you'd expect a car of its age to handle.
Re: This 007 Game You Didn't Play Was Basically PS2's Uncharted
QOS was better on PS2, than the next gen port,. On PS3/360 it was more COD than Bond. Everything Or Nothing was peak Bond game. Blurring the line between film and game like no other game before or since.
Re: For England, James! 007 First Light's PS5 Launch Trailer Is Here to Hype You Up
St John Smythe. Another Bond film reference. This is looking SO good, I can't wait. Regardless of the reviews, this is a day one purchase.
Re: Strong Opinions on 007 First Light's Younger James Bond? 'That's Great', Says Dev
Long time Bond fan, Dalton is my #1, and I really like what I have seen so far of Bond in First Light.
Re: 007 First Light Now Ready for Action, James Bond PS5 Game Goes Gold
The 14 year wait is nearly over.
Re: You Need a PS5 Pro to Play 007 First Light at Its Best on Console
I'll be playing on a base PS5, and I can wait for this. 14 years since the last Bond game, ignoring the two mobile games, I am so ready for this. I'm confident that, at the least, it is going to be amongst the best Bond games.
Re: Stranger Than Heaven Is a Yakuza Series Origin Story, Out on PS5 This Winter
I haven't played the recent games, and i'm not sure about this. I would have been interested in a YaKuze game.

Re: PS5's 007 First Light Will See You Embody the Charismatic James Bond for 20+ Hours
Long time Bond fan. Haven't been this excited for a Bond game since 2004. I can't wait.
Re: Steelrising, GreedFall PS5 Dev Spiders Confirms It's Closing Its Doors
To say this is a shame, it would be an understatement. As janky as their games might have been, I enjoyed them.
Re: Fable PS5 Reportedly Delayed, GTA 6 Could Push It to 2027
I must be in the minority as I don't have any interest in GTA. 007 First Light is my most anticipated game of 2026, followed by Tomb Raider (unless it gets delayed).
As for all the GTA addicts, talking about contrarians, not everyone is frothing at the mouth for a new GTA.
Re: Uncharted Fans Think a Social Post Is Evidence of New PS5 Entry
I love the games. but I think ND should leave it alone. A Thief's End, had a perfect ending.
Re: Poll: Do You Think PS5 Can Outsell PS4 with Its New Price Point?
Not with the price hike it wont. All in all, I think this generation has been a bit underwhelming so far. And it doesn't feel like it has hit its stride yet (what with everything that has happened externally, it feels ridiculously early to even consider the PS6).
Re: '$1,000+ Consoles Could Become the Norm': PS6's Price Touted to Touch Four Figures
Absolutely not. Anyone who pays £1000 for a console, has more money than sense.

Re: The UK Government Shoots Down 'Stop Killing Games' Campaign in Official Debate

Re: The UK Government Shoots Down 'Stop Killing Games' Campaign in Official Debate
As this hasn't worked, a more direct approach is needed. DON'T buy the game(s) to begin. It's the only way this will change.
Re: Confirmed: Oblivion Remastered's PS5 Physical Edition Requires 'Additional Download' to Actually Play
Looks like I will be sticking with the original on my PS3.
Re: Train Sim World 6 (PS5) - This Scenic Ride Rarely Surprises
@Haggis555 That's why I haven't bought one since TSW2, which has bugs that still haven't, and will never, be fixed.
Re: Crazy Rich Asians Star Gemma Chan Is 007 First Light's Q-tie
You should have gone with Q'ute, (a substitute for Q in the John Gardner Bond books).
As a lifelong Bond fan, this is my most anticipated game for 2026. I like what I have seen so far.

Re: Rockstar Quietly Increases Prices of Red Dead Redemption Games on PS4
checks calendar So it's not April 1st.
They must be mad, expecting people to pay £60 for a 7 year old game. Especially when a pre owned copy can be got for a fraction of the price.
Re: Almost All PS5 Fans Are Against $80 Games
£80 for a game is enough of an incentive to wait for a sale.
Re: Forza Horizon 5 Will Require a Microsoft Account to Play on PS5, Raising Preservation Problems
I was interested, but the lack of a physical release is a deal breaker. No thanks.
Re: PSN Down as PS5, PS4 Players Can't Log In or Play Online
And this is why you should always keep a PS2 (and a well stocked game collection) handy.
Re: Fans Are Buying Fewer Boxed Video Games Than Ever in the US
I will keep buying physical until the bitter end.
