@naruball It's just the most popular thing to say these days. Sony is like every other company out there. They want to make money but also will push the price up if development costs increase. That's just the way it is. Even MS defended price increases. Consumers can simply wait until the price drops for any game. It's not like they are forced to buy it at the increased price. These very people just love to complain.

Only issues I had was Spider-Man Miles Morales(PS5 version) crashed once. Hasn't happened since. If all these reports are true, I'm sure most will be resolved soon. Hang in there.

@torne Some people simply don't care about others. What else is new in this world?

Rocket League can't do 120fps, but Borderlands 3 can? That's pretty ironic.

@SirAngry Excuses.

@SirAngry In other words, lazy.

@markzzbr Sorry, but I won't be putting anything to rest. I also don't take every statement said with face value. I take those words with a grain of salt. It's not even a theory at all, because this does happen a lot in the game industry. Don't be so gullible to buy into everything you read. I also read what they said, so it was pointless to quote a recap of what I read. Either way, believe what you like. Nothing you're going to say it's going to change what I believe. Have a nice day. Also...don't waste your time replying because you're on ignore. Don't take it personal.

@TwomanybuttonS Watch them later on come out and say they found a work around. When in reality, it was likely something they could have done long before that.

I gotta wonder sometimes if there's some shady stuff going on lately. Seems to be a trend for PS5 not to get certain upgrades for games, and while Series X seems to get them just fine. Hmm...

@Nickolaidas Actually, it's 25mb. At least according to conversions.

That's what I love about Insomniac. They're always paying attention to what we're saying. If only more developers out there would have this same mindset.

@graysoncharles That's a stretch, but we'll see.

I barely ever used it, so I'm fine with it. Plus as mentioned, many of us have smartphones and iPhones these days, which perform better. I usually have my laptop near my entertainment center, so it's no biggie.

@SurvivorGirl1 Of course they'll care if there is enough out there doing what you're doing, but what are the odds of that? If we're being honest, the odds wouldn't be favorable. As much as people complain about price hikes, they eventually accept it and move on. Just as Nintendo almost never lowers their game prices down, yet, people still buy them. There were many who were vocal about Super Mario 3-D All-Stars, but seeing as the sales for that compilation are strong, it didn't really hurt their bottom line. Truth is, those same people tend to cave in because they can't wait for a price drop and buy it anyway. But hey, you never know. Maybe one day, you might see such a unity.

@LiamCroft Oh I know how it works, Liam. Which is why I don't take them too seriously until the truth is out. I'm not one who simply jumps on the bandwagon and believes everything I read. That's the odd thing about journalism. Many claim to have sources, but can't reveal them. So it's there either is truth in it, or simply a fib to get more eyes on their articles. Pretty much a rock stuck in a hard place.

@zupertramp I think it's more so that there is no sources proving it to be true. Journalists say a lot of things, but like to "protect" their sources. That for me at least, makes it harder to believe them. Until Sony or someone affiliated with them comes out and tells the truth themselves, I'll simply take it with a huge grain of salt as I normally do.

@LiamCroft If they don't reveal their sources, then how do you expect others to believe it? Lol. If anything, it makes it seem that have something to hide than simply being honest. Not to mention journalists these days do have a knack for sensationalizing. I take anything a journalist says with a grain of salt until there is actual proof of said sources.

@David187 Hard to say, but I do find it a bit odd that this story came up just a few days before launch. Especially with the fact that Series X launches tomorrow makes it even more suspicious.

@SurvivorGirl1 I don't think they care. Lol. As long as the majority are buying their games, they'll continue to keep it $70. The cost of game development has gone up. I'm sure Sony and other companies know not everyone can afford $70 games all the time, but they are a business, and they are going to protect their bottom line no matter what. I don't like it either, but it's inevitable that game prices will continue to increase over time. The only hope is that wages increase as well.

@DekuGotNext I'm pretty sure Nintendo have discussed such things as well. It's just not mentioned nor should it really since people are easily triggered.

@Ridwaano I'm sitting here for a week to pass.

@Menchi Are we really trying to quantify who does more? That's just as fanboyish as the fanboys themselves. Fanboys in general are insufferable regardless of what console they game on. There is really no "who is worse." Never helps to be bias.

@Gamer83 Those companies' shareholders would have to be willing to sell their stake. Bethesda happened because they've had a strong standing with MS for years, so no one is surprised really that it happened despite it being a screwed up thing to do to the industry. However, I doubt Ubisoft, Sega, or EA are interested in being bought out as they are neither struggling nor does it really makes sense for their business. Not to mention there are anti-trust laws that exist for a reason to prevent monopolies. All in all, no, MS can't just buy any company outright.

10/10. Paid close attention to every detail of course.

@JoshuaTChandler Could just listen to what he's saying, and simply not worry about how he says it. It's not that big of a deal. Lol.

@DualshockInfinit If it did, then it wouldn't be called "co-op."

@naruball People like that I put on ignore on the spot. Especially when the majority of their comments are negative and have nothing good to say about anything. It's his opinion, regardless on how baseless it is.

I hope HZD gets a boost as well. Loading times going across the map can take up to a minute.

Being part Puerto Rican, it's nice to see heritage/culture being represented within many forms of media. I do hope to see more in the future. Much appreciated, Insomniac.

@AJDarkstar Hard to say since I doubt most who own a Pro report it. I've had very few issues with mine, and barely hear anything while playing demanding games. Perhaps it has something to do with dust build up, but who really knows for sure.

@Boxmonkey Same here.

@HMazzy111 I hear this a lot and my Pro barely makes that much noise. Had it since 2018. Weird.

@rub3nmv Their camera lens tech I believe is also used by many manufacturers if I'm not mistaken.

@torne Last I heard, they have around 350 employees. Plus I'm sure they have independent contractors working along with them to speed up development times.

@SirAngry I'm going by what is known about this new team being gathered for a rumored Uncharted game. I guess everything will be cleared up eventually when this new game is revealed.

@BamBamBaklava89 Well they don't have to buy up studios just for IPs. In terms of Konami, they could potentially just purchase exclusive licenses for their properties such as Silent Hill, MGS , Castlevania, etc. I think the best studios that fit their World Wide Studio family are Housemarque, BluePoint and perhaps Hello Games. Techland doesn't seem to fit into that mold personally speaking. Sumo Digital is probably unlikely, but they do have a handful of subsidiaries under their umbrella, so I guess that would depend on price and value in general. I see Sony acquiring a few more studios in the not so distant future, but their more likely to expand their current studios, which is already happening.

@SirAngry Actually, they aren't a separate studio. San Diego Studio has another team within, that is apparently working another Uncharted game. While they are a separate team, they are housed within the same studio. Even Guerilla Games, Naughty Dog or Japan Studio for example, have more than one team.

@Mafia_Man19 They could possibly be in talks of acquiring them. They fit in well with Sony's World Wide Studios.

@Dan_ozzzy189 Depends on the amount of content. Perhaps there's something new to this game. Either way, could just wait until the price drops. Always an option.

@zimbogamer They also charge $4.99 every time you eject and/or insert a disc. I hope they ran that by you before you purchased.

@SilenceCZ Okay, but uhm...can you show me a source that proves that? I'm not trying to say you are lying, but proof is everything when it comes to claims.

@zimbogamer They'll waive the fee if you purchase their GameStop protection plan for the low price of $199.99.

@zimbogamer Gamestop honest? Those two words don't really go together. Lol.

@SilenceCZ Source?

@MichaelHawj Pre-ordered from Best Buy. Not a single email has come from them. It seems those who managed to pre-order theirs during the first wave haven't been affected.

@eddie429 Neither would I. The only thing that is appealing is Game Pass, but I don't need a Series X or S to play that when I can simply use that service on PC.

I think those who are getting upset, should cool off, and keep in mind that this is so far, a rumor, not a fact. Sooner or later, Sony will likely respond to it, or all our questions will be answered in their next chunk of news.

@Lovespuds Indeed. Plus a remaster isn't even going on at the moment, so not sure why everyone is getting overly hypothetical about it.

I'm not a fan of Xbox nor have any interest in Series X or S, but they are doing some interesting things and that's good on them. Whether Sony decides to do something similar or not isn't affecting me and I'd imagine the average PS5 owner will not complain about it. B/C is nice and I will use it everyone once in a while, but I prefer to play new games when I get my PS5.

@AdamNovice I'd say selfishness. Not sure why people are this bothered over remasters. They are targeted at those who missed out on them last gen or beyond that, or those who just like to double dip. Everyone has the option to pass on it. It's really that simple.

@KirbyTheVampire Lol. I never said that I'll buy them without a single thought. Good for Microsoft if they are doing it, but that doesn't mean that Sony has to do what they do. It's an "oh well" situation and I'm not going to be bummed over it. Regardless, I decide what I do with my own money and will decide if it's worth forking over. Not to mention I don't buy remasters day one. I prefer to wait until they drop in price. In which case, the investment risk is rather low. Why you even think that I'm a fanboy for not sharing the same opinion as others is rather childish on your part. If you prefer to insult others for not seeing it your way, then be my guest. I prefer the high road.
