hard to imagine mass audiences can afford [spending] thousands [of dollars] on consolesā and that āweāll see radically different business models later this yearā
So this is basically conforming that Helix was over £1000/$1000 right?
Probably cause they announced it two weeks early (to drown out controversy around account vulnerability) and announced presence in cinemas to further hype it up.
@themightyant oh so because people don't know who Colin is, news outlets aren't going to report on the issue.
The fact is that the issue highlighted by Colin was gaining significant traction quickly, and Sony had no official communication prepared to deal with an issue they'd been avoiding resolution to for years.
I genuinely don't think you have any idea what you're talking about if you think Sony won't make changes last minute or in this case, weeks out - you must be knew here (I know you're not which makes this even more stupid) but E3 2013 comes to mind, and that was done in a matter of hours....lol
I said it at the time and now iām even more sure of it, this State of Play was announced early to take away from the account security risk raised by Colin at LSM.
And let's be honest, any ordering of all but Drake's Fortune (amazing but obviously the weaker of the lot) is entirely justifiable, cause each game is a masterpiece.
I'm generally against leaks for games that will come out because I do love being surprised, old press conferences and showcases being examples of that.
The leak for this has probably benefited in some way as many will be disappointed this isn't a new Sci-Fi IP, so now expectations are different (for better or worse).
If I had to choose, i'd choose against games leaking before official announcements.

Re: Xbox Planning Major Layoffs Next Month, Could Involve a Studio Closure
So now they need PlayStation more than ever to keep the money rolling in from their cut from game sales...
Yeah let's make games exclusive to Xbox again š„“

@Skinny-Pete Ben mate, because they'd be casting an white Englishman who isn't Muslim to play Mo.

Re: Jason Momoa Is Reportedly No Longer Involved with the Upcoming Helldivers Movie
Maybe the film will be good now.
Re: The PS5 Release Schedule for Fall 2026 Is Now Beyond a Joke
For me, i'll basically be one per month with GTA in November:
August - Star Wars Zero Company (not listed in poll btw)
September - Wolverine
October - COD MW4
Re: Two Classic Call of Duty: Black Ops Games Seem Poised for PS5
The absolute GOATED era of Call of Duty, unfortunately impossible to replicate now.
MW2, B01, MW3, B02 - just an unreal run of games.
Re: Reaction: Some PS5 Fans Think SGF Showed Sony Losing Its Grip on Third-Parties
Bit of an overblown, non issue this isn't it.
Why do you need 3rd Party exclusive relationships when your competition is already dead?
Just wasting money at that point when the game will sell with you anyway and GTA is a different conversation entirely.
Re: Sony Steps Up Fraud Prevention After Major PS5 Security Vulnerabilities Exposed
@8th_Observer and I was right.
3/4 weeks later, buried during 'E3' week, this changes absolutely nothing š¤£
What a foolish comment.
Re: Latest PS5 State of Play Already Most Watched Ever, On Track to Overtake PS Showcases
@AdamNovice and I think you may be part of the problem.
Re: PS5 Early Access Pre-Orders Truly Are Getting Out of Hand
I mean it's not the end of the world really.
Sony will have the data that likely shows something and they're going forward with an exclusive window.
No doubt this has happened before but wasn't picked up on.

Re: Latest PS5 State of Play Already Most Watched Ever, On Track to Overtake PS Showcases
@AdamNovice 2 weeks is a bit extreme though.
Regardless, i've said what I said and didn't stutter.
Re: Latest PS5 State of Play Already Most Watched Ever, On Track to Overtake PS Showcases
@AdamNovice Sony own Alamo Drafthouse so securing cinemas won't be an issue, same for selling tickets.
Re: Latest PS5 State of Play Already Most Watched Ever, On Track to Overtake PS Showcases
Probably cause they announced it two weeks early (to drown out controversy around account vulnerability) and announced presence in cinemas to further hype it up.
Re: Sound the Alarm: Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis Partially Developed Using AI
Further to that, anything made using AI will be "replaced or refined", so the amount of AI stuff in the final game is likely to be very minimal.
The wording of "will" and tense of the sentence is incorrect here based on the Steam details quote.
Also, I see no issue with this use of AI.

Because that was not worth the build up and hype.
Re: Modern Warfare 4 Trots Out the Same Messaging of Realistic Skins in Call of Duty
Didn't stop them putting Fallout, Terry Crews and Dave Chappelle in though did it?
Personally, I don't have issue with most skins, but there needs to be a toggle for some.
The stupid tree and T-800 skin are not only stupid skins, but they are so difficult to see, even after they 'worked to improve their visibility'.
Re: Leaks Suggest This Year's Call of Duty Is Modern Warfare 4
If itās anything like MW3 then this is going to be one of the biggest pieces of s**t in cod campaign history.
Re: Round Up: Mina the Hollower Earns Critical Acclaim, Best-Rated Game of 2026 in First Reviews
Great news to see it doing so well.
Though almost identical, we should really be using OpenCritic, said it a few times but not sure why PushSquare hasn't adapted.
Re: Unannounced City Builder LEGO Skylines Could Be Something Special
Iām genuinely surprised something like this hasnāt been released before from LEGO, seems like a given really.

Re: Now It's Raised the Price, PlayStation Wants Your Thoughts on PS Plus
PSPlus is still an incredible service even with the price increases.
Unfortunately, many absolute sausages will vote that the service is bad just cause of fake, manufactured outrage.
Yearly subscription more than pays for itself when you see the games that you get each month, people just cry for crying sake.
Re: Now It's Raised the Price, PlayStation Wants Your Thoughts on PS Plus
@UltimateOtaku91 you've missed out on Horizon now mate unfortunately, testing was this weekend and ended this morning.
Re: This 007 Game You Didn't Play Was Basically PS2's Uncharted
Played this and Bloodstone on PS3 and honestly though they were both great.
Two solid games to go alongside the amazing Daniel Craig films.
Re: State of Play Confirmed for 2nd June, 60+ Minutes of Wolverine and PS5 Games
Announced earlier to take the heat away from the major security risk to all our accounts?
Same way they did the throwaway Wolverine trailer with release date to distract from Bluepoint.
Re: Xbox Fans Flock to Online Suggestions Box to Tell Microsoft to Keep Games Off PS5
Xbox can survive as a publisher in this space alongside their £1000+ PC console.
Xbox will not survive without being a publisher unless you want mass layoffs again across all their publishers.
Microsoft being so kind is the only reason this company even exists anymore, because the Xbox people love died on May 21st 2013
Re: 'It Should Be Free to Play Online Games': PS Plus Price Squeeze Taken to Task by PS5 Owners
"I'm good. I'll just play multiplayer games on PC I guess"
On a built out PC no doubt, but can't afford an extra £1 a month.
Laughable situation this whole thing tbh. I find incredible value in the service and it's very cheap.
Entitled gamers strike again.

For anyone worrying about buying this before it's delisted, it was available December 2023 in PSPlus Monthly Games - so you should have it already.
Re: What Do You Want from a May 2026 State of Play Showcase?
Showcase opens with Wolverine gameplay.
Fairgames is thrown in the middle somewhere.
Ends with GTA trailer 3, confirming marketing rights and pre orders live.
Intergalactic gets its own extensive State of Play in a couple months, maybe after Summer Games Fest.

Re: No One Noticed Intergalactic's Hidden Naughty Dog Easter Egg
PushSquare comments really have become a cesspool for clowns.
Just such hatred, bitterness and entitlement towards everything PlayStation.
Re: Horizon Hunters Gathering Closed Beta: Start Times, How to Play, and What's Included
Hopefully people take part and give the game a fair shot rather than being clowns behind a keyboard hating on everything.
"FoRtNiTe ArTsTyLe", people need to grow up. The game actually significantly separates itself from Fortnite.

Re: Mixtape (PS5) - A Truly Special Story Experience
@LiamCroft I know it obviously wasn't given a 9 for that con, just seems odd because it reads like a perfect game/experience that earns a 10.
Usually there is always a legitimate criticism to stop a game reaching a 10, but as there isn't one I was curious.
Re: Mixtape (PS5) - A Truly Special Story Experience
What reason is this not a 10/10 cause I canāt see any criticisms or negatives in the review, unless iāve missed it.
The one con listed seem like a major cop out š¤

Re: Sony's Not Pulling the Plug on Horizon Hunters Gathering, New PS5 and PC Beta Test Announced
Not sure why they would, silly article headline.
Hopefully more people can play the new beta and see that this actually might be worth their time.
Maybe PushSquare can too and then the constant hate pieces can simmer down.
