IOI

Some of the reactions from the Xbox fanboys are laughable and pitiful to say the least, it’s literally just a shortcut from the Xbox PC app to Steam games, the way Steam has allowed for ages, and some people are literally claiming “PS games are now on Xbox”, changing the goalpost constantly as Microsoft moves it too.

We’ve gone from “Series S will kill off Sony” to “buying Bethesda will spend them out of the market”, then “Activision is the key for Xbox competing” and now is “PCs with an Xbox sticker will destroy Sony”.

Payed for PS+ from 2015 to 2023, ever since the major price hike haven’t renewed even for the most basic tier, $80 a year for online play, cloud saves and some rented games isn’t a good enough value to me.

Beyond excited to start this up tomorrow!

I found out with the first VR that it can give me severe motion sickness, in fact back then I only manage to beat the very first Astro Bot game and then I never used it again and sold it when I got my PS5.

Because of this I never even considered the VR2 but the tech always seemed impressive, however the Beat Saber news confirmed that this is indeed another PS Vita, impressive hardware with lots of potential that has been basically abandoned by Sony and slowly by third-party devs too, I don’t see a “VR3” ever happening.

It was the right call, launching in 3 months would’ve ended in another Concord, however I don’t know what they can realistically do to turn things around, maybe build a campaign around it but that’s at least another 2 years and millions of dollars of investment at minimum.

I can see a scenario where both this and Fairgames get cancelled definitely.

@edwinjoe450 I’m wondering how did Sony approve showing this at State of Play? Similar to “Abandoned” the game that never even existed.

Yet some comments here claim it was a good enough game for $60 lmao

It’s impressive because the service is so bad imo, right now even the Essential tier is asking way too much for what they’re offering.

Nah I honestly don’t believe it, and I don’t think Vandal has that information, remember we didn’t find out about DOOM until people started receiving their physical copies, betting this is yet another 80mb disc.

Where are the people who kept excusing those awful gameplays and said they’d happily spend $60 over this?

@TommyNL God save us from getting a Zelda movie as ““good”” as Kraven…

It was fine, but the lack of PS Studios announcements continues…

Not really expecting ANYTHING besides Saros gameplay and a new trailer for Yotei.

Curious to hear what the Xbox fanboys who bet on Sony raising prices following Microsoft think right now…

And yes, eventually Sony may end up raising them but this shows there’s was no real urgency in doing so and Microsoft used tariffs as an excuse to raise them ASAP, it’s nice to have at least some deals in the current climate.

Very interesting to see at the same time Microsoft is raising prices significantly Sony is offering pretty good deals, even if temporary or they end up raising prices in a few months it’s very nice to have some discounts right now.

Haven’t been able to finish it but I’m definitely not as hooked as I was with 2016 and Eternal, this feels strangely paced so far.

What a downgrade from the gorgeous looking DualShock 4 from the first game, this looks like a standard black controller with an DHL/UPS sticker slapped on it.

@Zazu Exactly this is what don’t make sense to me, or the last State of Play being very light on first-party content only to announce Astro Bot new content literally the day after.

Rare Ubisoft win

Give us a modern port for Origins in the meantime please!

Lmao I knew it, Sony really is terrible with any type of Rewards system but at least I got around $15 from it

Probably the most boring game I managed to beat…

But it’s gonna look outstanding on a PS5 Pro.

Oof, what a way to kill any hype the game might’ve had.

Personally I couldn’t care less about Borderlands but if I did I wouldn’t buy it just out of spite.

@NonbinaryStarr Literally nobody said that, every gameplay they’ve shown looks bad, why shouldn’t we criticize it?

I find it a bit worrying that Naughty Dog is focusing too much on having renowned actors for their next game, after both TLOU I kinda hoped they leaned more into the game itself rather than cinematics, they are (still) a game studio, not a TV/movie studio.

Sony buying Bungie might just be the worst business decision ever taken by Sony corporation, not only by PlayStation.

Honestly that’s good, the best things about the game came out of Arrowhead, the worst out of Sony…

Sony can’t do much as it’s a decision made by the publisher, they wouldn’t want to enforce every game to be on disc and potentially delay games but they can be more transparent about it the same way Nintendo is being, you can see a game-key card from the cover art in any website, whereas for Doom TDA on PS5 there was ZERO indication anywhere until people started receiving their physical copies.

I know it was already expected but it’s still surreal to see PlayStation’s account actively promoting Gears of War lol

What I’m liking from the show is that decisions seem more logical, in the game there’s lots of convenient plot points to keep the story going the way it’s supposed to go and it gets irritating from the very beginning.

That being said tho, having played the game several times I cant shake the feeling I’m watching a play, I’m not nearly as engaged with the story and characters as I was while playing the game.

This article is gonna age terribly bad.

For anyone in the fence of getting the console, whether it’s the digital, standard or Pro…
DO IT RIGHT F***ING NOW!

@CJD87 It absolutely is the best game of this generation so far and it was criminal it wasn’t even in the 2021 GOTY discussion, haven’t seen a game that uses the PS5 triggers in such a natural way, also best haptics I’ve seen in a game period, gameplay is just f***ing fantastic and I’m definitely doing some runs today to test this upgrade.

More IPs to the EA graveyard.

Looking forward to skip this one!

Gameplay for this game is just so fun tbh, this is the second time I’m playing and there’s a big difference since the first time I played it on a PS4 and now a PS5 Pro, however upon replay I can notice how writing is definitely the weakest point overall, some dialogue feels out of place or outright badly written but it’s fun.

@Pompey71 This one is definitely only a bit, the gold standard for broken games keeps being Skyrim on PS3 at launch lmao

It really wouldn’t be a Bethesda game without being a bit broken at launch lol

They’ve said they’re trying to line up with the 30th anniversary of the OG in 2027 (or is it 202VII?) which would be absolutely perfect.

They really fumbled PS Plus as a whole, currently I’d say that not even the Essential tier is worth it, it’s just too expensive for what it is, and Extra/Premium are also way too expensive with such a high rotation of games as even the first-party games aren’t safe.

I could only recommend PS+ to someone who just got a PS5 and they’re finding out which games they like, otherwise for long term PS Users it makes less and less sense to pay for it by the month.

@Toot1st At the very, very least a 9/10 is warranted, disappointed to see a different treatment here just because it’s an Xbox game.

Looks amazing, there’s a substantial difference, and price is fair, this is a remaster done right.

@Fiendish-Beaver I agree on Eternal being too frenetic and sometime felt like a platformer, but god I loved that game, the line “You can’t just shoot a hole into the surface of Mars” randomly pops in my mind more often than it should lmao

@UltimateOtaku91 Yeah I always stock up when I see some deals on credit for the store, but it really pales to the deals we had back in the PS4 generation.

@MrPeanutbutterz On paper it is, however you can get codes from many sites online that turn out much, much cheaper, and if you take advantage of some conversions you can easily get a year of Ultimate for even less than PS Plus Essential.

And to be clear, I’m not comparing services, I’m saying that if Sony would still allow selling codes as they did in the PS4 generation we could still get it for cheaper, but they essentially monopolized their digital store and subscriptions, they’re even being sued for this and I hope eventually they’re forced to change it back.

Why are you doing blatant engagement bait with everything regarding Switch 2? It’s quickly becoming exhausting.

What a BS generation this has been overall, many unprecedented moves, all for the worse.

Honestly, nothing of the reveal appealed to me, but even if it did the cost of entry is too high for yet another live service.

Not gonna pay $40 for the game, $70 at least for a PS Plus subscription and a $10-20 battle pass on top of it, specially as there’s a plethora of F2P options whenever I want to play these type of games.

Lots of copium here as expected, but I see many, many of the same mistakes Sony did with Concord.

• Art style doesn’t look that attractive, yes better than Concord but that’s an incredibly low bar.
• The fact it’s $30/40 while also having to pay for PS+ to be able to play, F2P games don’t require even this, plus the battle pass on top of that.
• Launch is very near and they’ve stated they don’t have yet the narrative and there’s no time to adjust gameplay if people don’t like aspects of it.
• By the way, gameplay looks on the slower side which was also among the main complaints of Concord.

If you told me this is Concord 2 I’d believe it lmao

Honestly, the game does look amazing, the best looking game yet on a PS5 Pro (tho I don’t know about rivaling a $5K PC), while on performance mode it runs at flawless 60 FPS with ray traced lightning and with PSSR it looks almost as sharp as in balance mode, it’s truly impressive and the Pro is already showing off very noticeable upgrades as performance mode on base PS5 is a night and day difference compared to the Pro.

Never played the original and both Remake and Rebirth are among my favorite games of all time.
