@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare been saying for ages. Microsoft are doing much better than people give credit for (sure they spent all the money on the developers). But why would you buy 6 Microsoft games on playstation for full whack (they aren't the cheapest) when for that price you could buy an Xbox machine and have access to so much more. Sony have fallen off the wagon not producing enough this round. Next round of consoles I'll likely not bother other than Nintendo. Finally just buy a decent PC when these consoles aren't supported anymore.. and I think they will be for some time yet. Lol still got PS4 games coming out now.
This I get. It's sad, but I get it. What I don't get however, is Microsoft's place in this. I mentioned it before and people just laughed it all off. I think everyone is underestimating them. So they are multiplatform now.. but not in the regular sense. I don't think this sort of thing is going to fly next gen (I think it's going to struggle to take off at all with how much untapped potential is left in these machines, can see multi-generation releases for some time to come). I don't think they will get away with these sales second time around. Why purchase a Sony machine, when I can play all these great games I've been buying at a great expense, for a very little subscription fee. If Sony don't offer anymore. They are going to landslide hard. Not to mention they have been investigated previously for unfair practices with their pricing on PS store. Which I've noticed also.. often cheaper to buy the same games on the Xbox platform. I will be shocked if this continues. I like many others bought a playstation day one for what was to be in the future.. and that just hasn't materialized at all. I've very nearly sold it. But I look at it like this. I can play my older PS4 games I've purchased. I can play FF7 and a handful of other games. And yes, potentially one day in the future, games not available elsewhere. It might take a PS6 PS5 multiplatform release lol, but I'm sure that will come. All in all, the saddest of all playstation generations.
Hmmm. This has me concerned. Have been really looking forward to the switch 2.. but those prices are steep. Thought at £330 it would fly off the shelves. O.G owners of the switch, secondary consoles etc. At this price I'm not sure. Sure I could pick one up still with Mario kart... But those game pricings. I'm not paying £75 for a game. Only expensive titles I've bought this and last generation was the final fantasy 7 remakes.. and even then they weren't full price shipping around. Will very much hinder how much it gets used if they are going to stick with that on all their releases. Not to mention all the kids they are going to exclude jacking the prices up so much. Quite the miss 🤔
100% completed the first one on psp, loved it. Couldn't get into this one though. Think that's because it was so much of the same again. Will give it another go now at some point.
@Bamila I think it actually looks like they are doing a good job. As someone above has mentioned the potential technical difficulties which could be present in the 60hz versions. I'm from the UK so played them all like that anyway. I only have the basic for the next year and a half and doubt I will go any higher / resubscribe at all. Currently I just don't think there is enough for me. As a playstation fan for many years as with my Nintendo... I've just been and done a lot of it lol. It all looks very nice but isn't enough for me. Not when game pass just keeps impressing me with new games I haven't played or to be honest wouldn't have purchased initially. It's early days for this though and believe they will find their feet with it.
Yeah seems great. Even if I have strikers (not played yet as yet to finish 5) always up for that series getting more exposure though. And dirt 5 is on game pass on my series S. Down for playing it on PS5. + Will check out that other one. Rocket arena was a hit with me on ps+ so shall try this one.
I'm a playstation guy through and through. When the 360 was out.. I think that console had the edge and I spent most of my time there. When the PS4 came on the scene however it became apparent that all the best exclusives for me where there so I skipped Xbox. I've enjoyed Nintendo's first party offerings on my daughter's switch but for me, there isn't enough to keep me entertained all year round.
I'm an early adopter to the PS5 as I sold my PS4 Pro whilst it was worth it's most and figured the PS5 isn't coming down anytime soon.
Anyway bottom line I have bought very little PS5 games because it just too much for me unless I'm 100% really into it. That just hasn't happened yet.
I bought mortal Kombat when I bought the machine as it wasn't silly expensive.
Only PS5 games I have really played is through PS plus. Which for the most part don't really count lol. I really enjoyed maquette though. I have also bought project zero which I'm yet to play, again not exactly pushing the PS5. So I'm mostly playing through my PS4 stuff.
I bought a series S early in the year and I'm honestly struggling to go back at the moment though. There is just so much good content. Sony are going to find this a hard sell. I can't see it looking so good. 🤷

Re: Deleted Twitter Account Sparks Fresh Quantic Dream PS5 Rumours
Be a good blow to Microsoft if this is true. Played many of their games.
