He said he was working on it from 2016, but the pandemic and increased funding would only come in late 2020/2021.
"Sony decided to put a lot of money into online gaming like everyone else was. That's part of why The Last of Us Multiplayer got funding, we got off the ground and we made a lot of progress, and the game was doing really, really well internally".
@Oram77 tbf there is no way MAPPA should take on anymore properties. Already got too many and leaving lots unfinished, plus apparent sh*tty working conditions.
All the games that I want are on my wishlist, and when I get notification that they are on sale, I check my price and also the general 'online signed out' prices too.
Moving forward it'll significantly change my spending, especially if we're talking double digit differences in pricing.
Since when do we believe anything that Xbox says, have we forgot about this entire console generation?
The two companies will operate independently of each other. PlayStation is no longer in direct competition of Xbox, certainly not with their overly expensive PC box their creating.
PS6 will drop when Sony/PlayStation thinks it's best for them, Xbox can do as they please because these are two different markets now.
@Boxmonkey i'm going off the information consistently being provided by Moore's Law and how Sony have bought large amounts of stock in advance across all components, most importantly the RAM.
Considering his track record, who are we as nobodies to question with zero resources or insider info ourselves?
I love the second paragraph of defending Grubb as a leaker cause you know everyone hates him and he's wrong more than right - Mr Shotgun Blast Predictions 😂
I don't see any issue with this if it was exclusive for a timed period behind a paywall (if necessary), as maybe a testing ground before general release with additional benefits for the early adopters.
But this is ridiculous. We're long past the days of DLC Maps being paywalled permanently in games like COD and Battlefield.
I get they need to make money to continue the service, but this ain't it.
We should really be using OpenCritic instead of MetaCritic.
The scores aren't weighted based on outlet then.
For those not in the know, an example is that an IGN review will carry much more influence on the overall average score based on back-end point allocation assigned to each outlet. So IGN as a 'bigger outlet' will have much more 'points' than Push Square will have - yet I know who's opinion I'd value more.
I liked the look of it but didn’t “Like” the trailer on YouTube, so that stat is kinda irrelevant.
But again as with anything, you’ll find the majority of the negativity will come from people who never had an interest in Horizon anyway, nevermind a multiplayer offering.
Not sure why people are being so negative about this. It's not like this pops up on your screen without warning and forces you to read.
It's one of thousands of 'From PlayStation' notifications sent over the years that can only be viewed if you look at your notifications specifically, and even then you can just delete without reading.
They've did it in the past for new releases, DLC's drops, hints and tips, plus when State of Play or Showcases have been scheduled.
Really not a big issue and little babies are complaining even when it's not relevant to them and/or they're not even on PS4 anymore.

Re: Rumour: Naughty Dog 'Floated' the Idea of Uncharted 5 Before COVID
@Atreus97 apparently I woke up illiterate today.
My apologies sir, you are indeed very correct in your take.
Re: PS5 Home Page Refresh Live Now for Some Users
Ngl, I don't like the look of this at all.
Re: Everyone's Talking About DriveClub Again, PS4's Underappreciated Racer
DriveClub redeemed itself so significantly after launch.
Genuinely one of the best games on PS4.
Re: The Last of Us Multiplayer Was 80% Complete Before Cancellation, Spent 7 Years in Development
His timeline doesn't add up.
He said he was working on it from 2016, but the pandemic and increased funding would only come in late 2020/2021.
"Sony decided to put a lot of money into online gaming like everyone else was. That's part of why The Last of Us Multiplayer got funding, we got off the ground and we made a lot of progress, and the game was doing really, really well internally".
So for 4/5 years there was no funding?
Re: PS5 Price Increases Start, Live Now at Some Retailers
A UK based article in £££'s about price increases on PushSquare?!
Re: Remember When Call of Duty Said Its New Skins Would Be Sensible? Well, Here's Dave Chappelle
If you really thought they'd stick to what they said, you're an idiot.
Honestly surprised it took this long, I won't be buying the pack but for those who will, enjoy I guess.
Re: 'It Wasn't a Live Service Game': Shuttered Sony Studio Teases Scrapped PS5 Project
@Boomers-r-us why couldn't it have been?
I bet The Last of Us Online was 'one helluva of a game', but different circumstances resulted in its cancellation.
What an oddly misinformed comment you have made 🤔
Re: Despite PS5 Hits, Sony Sinks to 21st in Metacritic's Publisher Rankings
Should also stop using Metacritic.
Use Opencritic.
Re: PS4 Police Game Battlefield Hardline to Be Delisted from PS Store in May
I stand by this being a good entry in the franchise tbh.
Having Battlefield 4 from 2014 and Black Ops 3 in 2015 alongside Hardline presented 3 solid multiplayer games with different spins.
We ate well that year but entitled, undeserving cry babies will say otherwise.
Re: 'We'll Still Release on Switch, Xbox, and Steam': Dev Responds to Delisting as Sony Axes 1,000s More PS5, PS4 Games from PS Store
@Bracing_space I have way more options than just these two.
A-Z, Z-A, Price low to high, Price high to low, Most Downloaded, Best Selling, Release old to new, Release New to Old and Default.
And then a ton of filters to go with it.
Literally no idea what you and the people who liked your comment are talking about tbh.
Re: Years After Announcement, Netflix's Assassin's Creed TV Series Finally Begins Production
@Oram77 tbf there is no way MAPPA should take on anymore properties. Already got too many and leaving lots unfinished, plus apparent sh*tty working conditions.
Re: Jim Carrey Confirmed to Return for Sonic the Hedgehog 4 in New Teaser Trailer
Hopefully it’s the real Jim Carrey and not whatever that impersonator was 😂
Jokes aside (maybe not 😬), can’t wait for Sonic 4.
Re: Nvidia Says You're All 'Completely Wrong' About Its Controversial AI Upscaler DLSS 5
@get2sammyb probs should just be under the PC tags you guys have, not PS5.
Re: Death Stranding 2 Adds Cut Content, New Mode, Videos in Big PS5 Update
@LowDefAl disc? What’s that?
I’ve been digital for so long I never even thought about the disc size 😭
Re: PS Portal Gets Even Better with New Firmware Update, Improved Visuals and Enhanced Cloud Streaming
Genuinely one of my favourite devices, such a solid bit of kit.
Re: Death Stranding 2 Adds Cut Content, New Mode, Videos in Big PS5 Update
I think some further reporting into the issue of "storage limits" may be required here, because wtf do that mean?
Re: Poll: Has PS5's Dynamic Pricing Debacle Changed Your Relationship with the PS Store at All?
Definitely changes things.
All the games that I want are on my wishlist, and when I get notification that they are on sale, I check my price and also the general 'online signed out' prices too.
Moving forward it'll significantly change my spending, especially if we're talking double digit differences in pricing.
Re: Xbox Targets 2027 for Project Helix Dev Kits, Calling Rumoured PS6 Release Into Question
Since when do we believe anything that Xbox says, have we forgot about this entire console generation?

Re: Step Aside PS Portal! The Best Way to Use PS5 Remote Play Is Getting Better
My Portal experience has been perfect from day 1, I really don't understand the hate.
Re: 'No One Is Buying This on PS5': PC Port Begging Already Unbearable as Sony Switches Strategy
Oh no, the 20 people who were going to buy it on PC are taking a stand.
This could bankrupt PlayStation! Quick, greenlight more live service games!
Re: PS6 Rival Xbox Helix Could Cost as Much as $1,200
@Boxmonkey i'm going off the information consistently being provided by Moore's Law and how Sony have bought large amounts of stock in advance across all components, most importantly the RAM.
Considering his track record, who are we as nobodies to question with zero resources or insider info ourselves?
Re: PS6 Rival Xbox Helix Could Cost as Much as $1,200
@Boxmonkey Moore's Law has already said he expects it to be same price that PS5 launched at - even Pro price match would be lower that £800.
I think predicating anything over £700 is ridiculous tbh.
Re: 'I'm Pro Sex Minigames': Former God of War Dev Backs PS5 Trilogy Remake to Keep Controversial Minigames
Tbf Jaffe also said the same about the sex scenes and named the women who worked on it.
Though I guess Jaffe only gets reported on when it's negative :/
Re: Your Latest Look at Forza Horizon 6 Is So Tame It'd Put Your Driving Instructor to Sleep
@LogicStrikesAgain making an article basically saying nothing while taking jabs about Forza gameplay basically showing nothing.
If you can’t see the irony then i’m afraid it’s too late for you and those who liked your comment.
Re: Your Latest Look at Forza Horizon 6 Is So Tame It'd Put Your Driving Instructor to Sleep
Such an ironic article, complains about something "so tame", yet proceeds to write and publish a 223 word piece about it 😂
IGN with the tame video 🤝🏻 PushSquare with the hypocrisy
Re: Flog Mouth-Watering Egg Sandos in This Cosy Konbini Sim on PS5
@RadioHedgeFund ain't nobody saying "sarnies" within 100 miles mate - it's full "sandwich" or where I am it's "butties" 😂
Re: 'What the F*ck Is This?': God of War Creator Hates First TV Show Image
@LiamCroft I mean yes the image is “real” as it exists.
But is it actually from the show or a mock up/concept?
We’ll revisit in a few days
Re: 'What the F*ck Is This?': God of War Creator Hates First TV Show Image
@LiamCroft the image is fake btw, the guy playing Kratos pretty much confirmed it.

Re: For Some Reason, Sony Apparently Got Gran Turismo 7 Running on Switch 2
I love the second paragraph of defending Grubb as a leaker cause you know everyone hates him and he's wrong more than right - Mr Shotgun Blast Predictions 😂
Re: Marvel's Wolverine PS5 Release Date Announced
Something isn’t right with the way this was announced.
Skipped State of Play only to drop a 5 second trailer of nothing with a date?
A distraction from Bluepoint maybe?
Re: Craving Classic Castlevania? Saint Slayer Hits PS5, PS4 This April
@get2sammyb i'm not tbh. I find it difficult to get into side scrollers in general mainly because i'm just comically bad at them.
The only ones i've really enjoyed was Strider (2014) and Velocity 2X (one of my all time favourite game weirdly).
I much prefer more chilled, story centric side scrollers like Gris and Oxenfree.
Re: Craving Classic Castlevania? Saint Slayer Hits PS5, PS4 This April
This definitely isn't for me but I own every Lillymo game and will always support anything LSM.
Colin noted it'll only be £10 too.
Re: First PS Plus Essential Game for March 2026 Leaked Early
Very happy with this.
Platinumed EA Sports PGA Tour from PSPlus Extra over the course of 3 months, great in-between/short play game.
The 2K versions are always solid and same vibe too so looking forward to this.
Re: Skate Is Placing New Map Area Behind a Paywall, and Fans Are Outraged
I don't see any issue with this if it was exclusive for a timed period behind a paywall (if necessary), as maybe a testing ground before general release with additional benefits for the early adopters.
But this is ridiculous. We're long past the days of DLC Maps being paywalled permanently in games like COD and Battlefield.

Re: Sony Makes Shocking Decision to Shut Down Bluepoint Games
This level of fumble should be criminal

Re: Random: Sony Surprises Couple with Free PS5 Games to Celebrate Their Wedding
Look at the entitlement here in the comment section.
Sad that this is becoming the norm here on Push Square.
Re: 'It's a Terrible First-Party Game': God of War Creator Expands on PS5 Side-Scroller Criticism
A lot of complaints for giving Jaffe 'airtime' on PushSquare, yet rarely is anything said about Jez and Gruff for their consistent nonsense.
Interesting 🤔
Re: Saros Succumbs to the Pay Extra to Play Early Trend
Who's cares, just don't pay it if you don't it.
Stop feeding unnecessary negativity with a silly article for no reason.

@ItsAlwaysSunnyyy it’s ok to be wrong multiple times in one sentence 😂
Re: MGS Master Collection Volume 2 PS5 Announced, Metal Gear Solid 4 Is Free of PS3 Jail
@MrPeanutbutterz you are literally what is wrong with the video game community
Re: Some PS5 Fans Believe a New God of War Game Could Shadow Drop This Week
Jeff Grubb 😭
If this is wrong, can we stop reporting on Grubb?
Also, don't rumours usually get marked as such, rather than news 🤔
Re: The Internet Has Not Been Kind to Horizon Hunters Gathering
@Boxmonkey nice message, glad you had a rethink about what you said as it was clear you misread mine 👍🏻
Re: PS Plus Extra Games for February 2026 Leaked
Interesting that Spidey being added isn’t met with criticism cause ‘everyone has played it already’ like usually happens.
Maybe the babies are still asleep 🤔
Another excellent lineup.

Entitled babies rage on.
Re: Mega State of Play Confirmed for Thursday, Over 60 Mins of PS5 Announcements and Updates
@subechin It was reportedly being developed out of a new San Diego studio, following a character you control at the end of Uncharted 4 👀
I know it's been 10 years since it came out but I don't wanna be that guy.
Re: GTA 6 on Course for November 2026 Launch, Marketing Starts in Summer
@KundaliniRising333 yet cared enough to stop and comment...interesting 🤔
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for February 2026 Announced

Avoid spoilers, or an extra month of development time?
