By far Sonys worst console. All the success the Playstation 5 enjoys is based on the great console Sony had with the Playstation 4. ( My fav Gen ) Crazy how a few of top executives can decide the fate of an entire Brand that been around for generations.
Lets hope Sonys preparation for the Playstation 6 is much more sophisicated and thoughtout.
Jim Ryan had a good hunch to reconstruct Japan Studios into Team Asobi. They had a killer app with Astros Rescue Mission and an absolute amazing kickoff with Astros Playroom on the PS5 launch. Now Astro Bot set to come out this very year is probably a 3 outta 3 Hits Situation. Already preordered my copy on PSN. I still think its unfortunate Sony isnt releasing a Steelbook release of it. September cant come soon enough.
Concord 0/10 I dont support games where PS Players have to pay for online access while PC players dont from a publisher that is also the console manufacturer of that very console. Second Class Citizen Treatment.
God of War Ragnarok PC -100/10 Sony shouldnt put these AAA Blockbuster games on PC. Them PC gamers cant f themselves. Sony should focus on Playstation Players and Playstation Players only. Go argue with your mama.
Dynasty Warriors Origins 2/10 I haven't played a Dynasy Warriors game for over 10 years. I dont think Im going Back to it.
Infinity Nikki 1/10 Im not a 12 yo girl.
Ballad of Antara 9/10 Looks super promising. Hits alot of boxes for me. Wishlist it as soon as possible.
Skydance's Behemoth, 0/10 I dont have VR and probably not gonna get VR.
Marvel Rivals 0/10 WTF
Where the Winds Meet 9/10 Looks Stellar. Melee. Action. RPG. Yes, Im in.
Until Dawn 1/10 Very unnecessary
Path of Exile 3/10 Not my type of game looks cool though
Silent Hill 2 8/10 Looks superb. Never played the original so Im grateful this exits giving new players a chance to catch upon History
Monster Hunter: Wilds 6/10 Not my type of game but Ive always respected that franchise a bunch.
FFXVI was actually my Game of the Year last year so naturally I got Echoes of the Fallen and I just got Rising Tides. It saddens me its the finale of the adventures of Clive Rosfield. I'll be missing him.
I expect a price hike. As the reasons the CEO mentioned. Video Games are cheap If one includes the inflation rates over the years. Everything got more expensive but video games. Aside the 10 bucks increase with the current Gen launch.
I think this year is somehow a straight continuation of 2023 so far. From games Ive played 1. FFVII Rebirth 2. Prince of Persia The Lost Crown 3. Pentiment
I had started P3Reload but put it on ice cause of FFVII Rebirth and havent gotten around proceeding it. Plus I dont count The Last of Us Part 2 in here even though Ive played, platinumed and loved it still. Gotta catch upon Rise of the Ronin Banishers Ghosts of New Eden and Tekken 8. Also I refuse to buy any game without 60 frames option so No Dragons Dogma 2 for me.
Nontheless, I think the extended 2023 stops as May hits. Aside of Wu Long nothing got my interests.
Props to Square Enix. Great launch. Even though I prefer FFXVI combat and story, FFVII Rebirth is a highlight this early year. And Im only 8 hours in at the beginning of chapter 4.
I have put Persona 3 Reload to ice and started playing FFVII Rebirth. Its good so far but seems much bigger thank P3 Reload in any way there is. I'll be with the Avalanche for a while now before returning to SEES.
I'm perplexed by the state of gaming. Everyone has reported record breaking heights yet they all prepare for the "Future"? Whats the future? Is it the establishment of A.I. into the industry so they get rid of what they consider "dead weight" after that very establishment? Very confusing. 2023 was such an amazing year and 2024 is strong in regard to JRPGs. Its all so contraticting to what has been the Last few years. I just dont get it.
Sony has never been able to support multiple hardware at once. It always surprises me that people are surprised about the lack of support for an additional hardware. And there people asking for a Sony dedicated handheld. And the same reason I consider the PS Portal ideal for Sony and Playstation.
Plot twist: Xbox never planned to go multiplat. They purposely spread fake infos about becoming third party hoping the insiders would leak it, so MS can pretend that they "heard and listened" to the fans and act accordingly and appearing as a pro fans listening company. Phil Spencer is the master at PR.
@Splat Pretty sure most people didn't find problems in the combat of The Last of Us Pt. 2 game but sure other things though. The combat is universally respected.
Prince of Persia The Lost Crown is simply amazing. Way to early to talk about GotY but Prince of Persia is my GotY anyways. The best Metroidvania since Hollow Knight. Shout out to Ubisoft for having a GotY for me every ten years. Rayman Legends in 2014 Prince of Persia in 2024
Looking forward to any Ubisoft publishing game in 2034. Let's goooo.
Well, wasn't the whole PS Stars time limited until, well now? When I check my PS Stars on the PS App, it is dated as 1.2024. I was wondering anyways when Sony would update the PS Stars initiative. Adding some stuff, modifying other things as well. I kind of expected an announcement last year.
Having access to the sales of all first party Playstation games is highly interesting. I wish Sony would be as transparent as Nintendo is in that regard. Seeing Sackboy selling over a million is wild to me.
I don't get it still. Naughty Dog has already done both phenomenally. I've got more than 600 hours into Uncharted 4 MP. I happen to love it's gameplay and found it's MP component the best way to experience the gameplay. Just do the gameplay of The Last of Us Part 2 and couple it with competitive aspect. No fancy ongoing live service groundbreaking industryshaking world shattering nonsense. Just let me experience that amazing gameplay with a competitive component. What a disaster Naughty Dog has become.
This years Wrap Up is easily the best in terms of interface and style. Kudos to team Sony making this. What a crazy year I've had. More than 60 games played more than 950 hours apparently into games. I need more hobbies, I guess. 😂 😂

Re: Evidence of Rockin' Xbox Exclusive Hi-Fi Rush Coming to PS5 Continues to Mount
Already played it on my Series S. It's a good game for a small project but nowhere near Game of the Year caliber.
Still makes me wonder what the future will hold for gaming as that move would mark historical shift for gaming.

Re: The Last of Us Multiplayer Project Is Officially Cancelled
I don't get it still. Naughty Dog has already done both phenomenally. I've got more than 600 hours into Uncharted 4 MP. I happen to love it's gameplay and found it's MP component the best way to experience the gameplay.
Just do the gameplay of The Last of Us Part 2 and couple it with competitive aspect. No fancy ongoing live service groundbreaking industryshaking world shattering nonsense. Just let me experience that amazing gameplay with a competitive component. What a disaster Naughty Dog has become.

Re: Returnal Director Is Leaving Housemarque After 14 Years
@UltimateOtaku91 600k in 3 months equals over 42 million dollars. For a niche game like Returnal, I see why Sony called it a massive game.
Re: Returnal Director Is Leaving Housemarque After 14 Years
@UltimateOtaku91 Returnal was Housemarques most successful game and according to Sony a "mega hit."
