They shut down devs for Sony’s mistakes, Bungie had LoU MP shut down which might have been a mistake. Sony has destroyed their output this gen by chasing live service phantoms and otherwise trend chasing with no desire to set any trends. Awful management. If they keeps up they’ll be MS levels of abysmal.

@SMJ It’s less about the costumes themselves and more about disliking the developer for whatever reason or not.

@SMJ Who/Whom, not what. Simple as.

Just bring back the old AC MP. I only got to play Brotherhood’s, but it was fantastic and nothing else like it out there today. They gave the gold design, just use it.

@AdamNovice Live service wasn’t something that should be abandoned and they had some good ones, but largely their efforts failed and didn’t even come out. The ones you mentioned would have happened almost independent of trends too. The number of eggs they put in the basket was short sighted and a bad idea. If they don’t see that putting some of them literally anywhere else would have been better, they should replace them because they can’t admit failure and can’t read the room outside of a spreadsheet of trends. So many of their studios wasted years of development time and they took big losses in this. So when I say some VR games would have been better than many of their failed projects, I mean that objectively and from a revenue perspective - not because I want VR games (though I do).

They’ve had a lot of mismanagement recently. I really hope they get people that can see their mistakes for their sake and ours as gamers.

@AdamNovice I think they’ve would’ve made more money from the VR because it wouldn’t have just been a bunch of expensive cancelled projects.VR games would have sold something and boosted the profits overall from the headset.
From a business point of view, it was foolish trend chasing that wasn’t well planned IMO.

I want to buy DoA. They’re too scummy with money for me to justify it. If this had all previous DLC I’d buy it, but instead they want to nickel and dime.

@psmr Heck no. Those RPGs aren’t even AC, they abuse the name as a cash cow. This needless to be an AC game, not an RPG.

@TheArt I don’t think they did a very good job of fixing it is my thing.
@nolifebr That sounds awful. It’s fine for a new IP that’s marketed properly, but that just sounds like she didn’t like Uncharted anymore.

@Stragen8 It being a more grounded/realistic game was a terrible idea that just made it feel lacking. That’s just not what Uncharted is. The previously established rules in the series kinda make it not even realistic to avoid it. They should have made a new IP if that’s what they wanted because using Uncharted for it felt off.

This makes sense. It’s the worst Uncharted game all things considered IMO. Pacing is bad, fights are very short, set pieces are a shell of what they were in U3, I was waiting for the game to actually get on U3’s level once and it never did. Way too much climbing and not enough action.
And when I say it’s the worst, I mean that Golden Abyss also was a better game in its own right than 4 was.
I was super hyped for U4 only to feel like the game never even truly started once I played it.

I think Bethesda and Activision games are very right stay, but others might go back to being exclusive.

So this is why Sony has not levered at all on new hands this gen. Jim Ryan was, as many of us said, a disaster and didn’t know how to run the business.
Shu should have been kept.

They need to just own it and let it go. It’s too late, just don’t apologize or acknowledge anything is wrong. It’ll be quieter then. Doing this is just digging a hole.

For a bunch of 18+ games this list seems pretty tame…

“I am Jesus” just came out on Steam to almost surprisingly positive reviews, so that’s likely an attempt to fool people too

Sakura Wars PS4 was great has some of the best, if not the best anime graphics. A sequel would be amazing

Okay? If a game only presented men as doing this no one would care. Yes, this happens, there are women who do stuff like this.

Next question: is being a reader of the site a sign of age?

He pretty much says it altered everything but devs can kinda steer it. He confirmed the problem while denying it.

@SMJ Labo has nothing on par with Hitman, Gran Turismo, and Resident Evil games. There are many great games for the PSVR2.
Much more than can be said for Labo, PS Move (I got them), Kinect, and I would argue the Wii U.
Sony’s lack of original games for it is very disappointing, but it’s gotten more great games than so many other systems and peripherals.

Okay, but how about the normal PS5? This doesn’t feel transparent to most PS5 owners.

This is actually great because it shows a game that does a permanent price drop is cheaper than it used to be. It looks like a permanent sale instead of a game that was $20 looking like a $10 game if there’s a price cut.

Big issue is it guts a lot of backwards compatibility for discs people already own too.

Yep, you don’t get the DLC like the previous article stated. I might have been interested if it came with previous DLC, but I’m chased away by hundred of dollars of DLC. Just bundle it all up and call it a day. This is insane.

The game should be clear in what it is, or maybe not even advertise co-op if it wants to do this. This feels kinda deliberate though. Maybe Jaffe was right lol.

@ShogunRok Are you sure it comes with all previous DLC costumes? I’m trying to find any other source that says this since 5’s last round didn’t, and I can’t find anything. Looking at other places it looks they want you to spends $100’s on the DLC costumes from base 6 still.

Wow, it got removed. I’m m pretty sure 90+ of Reddit mods need to be banned from Reddit or their own subreddits.

@Pat_trick I’m positive they don’t. They’re throwing “but British” to try and stave off the bad PR. This game isn’t gonna go well.

@BAMozzy In theory this sounds good, but in practice there’s lots of TV makers and the sell TVs for profit, consoles are often sold at a loss or are to start with to get people into an ecosystem. On TV I might have a CR or Netflix account, but on console I have a console account that gets the console maker money when I buy a game. Not to mention a TV just runs something, a console has to have a version made specifically for it, which even if technically possible, costs time and money. There just won’t be competition naturally like with TV and without gamers buying multiple consoles or there being fighting over the customer base, there’s not enough market for multiple consoles.
We’re more likely to lose healthy competition than gain it because the market is so wildly different without exclusives IMO.

Do saves carry over? This is the real question

If you got the free stuff you should at least get a discount TBH. And why does it cost extra? This is all Sony, they aren’t paying MS like for Halo or something

@wildcat_kickz This is like making a movie based off a book and not reading the book
He told people being unwilling to do basic research is a strength that they bought it somehow.

I think one more generation of more power for better resolutions, better framerate, and making developing ambitious games easier, more possible, and less costly to optimize (since less is needed) will still be good for another gen. Plus VR could definitely use the power. PS6 could do great things with the PSVR2 and they could basically relaunch it again on the PS6. Cheaper with and built in user base.

If you’re that concerned about power useage at that point why even have a PS5? This is the most nonsensical waste I’ve ever heard of. I promise they used more power developing this than will be saved by people using it.

@get2sammyb This is my thought, it seems like it’s just shifting the problem to someone else. Next they’ll be apologizing and bringing it back as non-super fans are pushed away.

So, I can tell who plays smaller games here I feel like. The reviews aren’t for AAA games so much as games that are smaller. I shouldn’t have to go to Steam to see if a small game or indie game is good or a real game or the rubbish slop they let on to the store now. This will sort that out. Crazy it took this long and now that it’s only on web. It needs to be on the apps soon.

@CielloArc I have a mix, it’s dumb. Having it in your library should be sufficient.

Didn’t they say they’d have you play with people who used controller on PC? Why not just ban KB&M from console lobbies?

A feature to reduce performance? Holy crap, they spend time on this? This is pointless no one wants reduced performance. Insane virtue signaling.
How about giving something useful instead wasting resources on this while increasing console prices.

@DennisReynolds So put an option to switch back in the options menu. It’s not bad this can be added, that’s good, but it shouldn’t be totally forced.

Right, because they haven’t made anything cheaper in the years it’s been out. This is just greed.

@Reeneman Because it’s fundamentally altering how a single player game people already bought paid for with no ability to play the game they actually bought if they want to. Great as an option, even by default, but people should absolutely be able to turn the stamina back on.
Games being altered after release has happened too many times now.

On some level this feels like taking away the game people bought. This should only be a thing in the options, it should not be a mandatory change. This feels genuinely shady as a business practice.

Wow, a game with a horrible rep in dev hell and they lock a third of the playstyle behind DLC. This gives me no confidence they aren’t just putting out a mess and hoping to take less of a loss.

This looks similar style wise, but very different in how it plays. I don’t think Sony wins.

The price is normal? Did people expect a discounted price?

@JB_Whiting That wasn’t the issue with 2042, before the Beta it looked to really compete with COD, then the Beta came out and it was a terrible battlefield game.

40M pop and a few more million sales. I mean, I think 5%-10% of the pop buying it is a lot.

It looks quite good, and I’m glad it’s not a Soulslike, but have enough already. We don’t need more, do different things.
