Dude is enjoying every minute of his prime that's for sure! To potentially be in 2 different billion dollar movies at the same time with his is wife also in both of them is wild. There's no way that has happened before!

Well it was fun playing the first and last Halo on Playstation π€·π»ββοΈ I think Forza is the only Xbox property that will make Xbox multiplatform money unfortunately.
Halo 2 is my favorite and where the real magic started, easy day one if it comes to Playstation. As we know the plan is the plan until is not the plan π
Looks solid I will definitely buy it, I hope all the music is in tact and there's no remix versions. Great job from Halo studios aka 343! I'm glad to see they do have talent, almost couldn't tell from the last couple of Halos π€·π»ββοΈ
@Ticklefist "Alannah Pearce is one of those internet personalities that triggers my BS alarm."

I already split my gaming time 75% PS5 and 25% PC and that probably won't change next gen. While I have been all digital since the start of the PS5 that doesn't mean I want physical to go away.
Don't see why we can't have the best of both worlds, so while I can't do my part I'm rooting for the physical people to win this battle βπ»
@LogicStrikesAgain "So next gen, everyone is going Nintendo?"
Nintendo also likes money π if all publishers including Sony and Microsoft are digital only I doubt Nintendo will try hold the physical media mantle for the entire world.
This isn't going away as fast as Sony thinks, even if they don't go back some assurance that what you buy digitally will never be taken away would be better than nothing.
Well if you wanted to send Sony a message this would be pretty effective if enough people cancel. They don't care about YouTube comments or petitions, effect their money and they will respond one way or the other.
Sony is probably counting on the news of Microsoft firing hundreds of employees to get some heat off of them but I don't think this will die down so easily.
Even if Microsoft & Nintendo announce today that they will not make anymore disc Sony will still be seen as the original architects of all this.
We been knowing Helix won't have physical media, Xbox was already half way there this gen. The problem is Sony knows that and decided that it will proudly hold the L for both Playstation and Xbox. Absolutely horrible leadership!
2028 is so far away why did they use their free will to decide that now is the right time to piss everyone off? They were riding nicely the GTA 6 wave even with the price increases, no one's even think of GTA 6 anymore.
Absolutely horrible leadership, If I was Xbox I would announce immediately that Helix will support physical media. It likely won't though, makes it more baffling that Sony decided it wanted to hold the L π€¦π»ββοΈ
Completes the terrible day for Sony perfectly! They could have made one of the games something big and sort of new to get the bad taste out our mouths π«€
@Truee "Welp it was a good ride while it lasted boysβ¦ I might be going to Xbox or pc as my primary gaming platform next genπ€·πΎββοΈ'
Xbox was already half way there this gen, they will follow! also if you game on PC you are also all digital, Steam doesn't give you a physical game π€·π»ββοΈ You only option is Nintendo assuming they don't follow Xbox, Playstation and Steam.
I wish if they are going to close studios for them to do it already, hundreds of developers going to sleep not knowing if when they wake up they will still be employed π
Helman Hurst and Jim Ryan are/were terrible, that hasn't changed. But is best to keep in mind the downfall started with Layden, he's the reason we're paying for the honor to play our games online.
@Anthony_Daniels "Yep youre better of buying a series x, steam machine or equivalent spec gaming pc... it will be much cheaper than the rip off ps5 :-/"
Everything you named is literally more expensive than a PS5, that's amazing π
So the Steam machine isn't a rip off even though is as powerful as a 6 year old PS5 and costing twice as much?
They really are dedicated to squeeze every last cent out of that old dlc, I respect it in a way but I will staying far away. Dead or Alive 5: Last Round is in my mind is the last good one.
If the PS5 Pro version isn't 60fps than I don't think Sony can claim is the best place to play, unless DF in their breakdown show the PS5 version running better.
While I like the controller features there are those who don't like the Dualsense, so for them it wouldn't be the best version (assuming the game runs the same on Xbox and PS5)
I hear and understand them but all that this will accomplish is them losing out on money, nothing else. Unless they can get all the big retailers on board this will be a fart in the wind.
@nomither6 Not it doesn't π Saints Row always has a cartoon mix with realistic look, is very easy to spot. GTA 6 looks photo realistic, I'm actually impressed with what I'm seeing.
I have been craving a Souls game but I want the real thing, not these cheap western copycats π€·π»ββοΈ Can't wait to see what Miyazaki is cooking besides the Switch 2 game.
@nessisonett Oh yeah the Space Channel games are no joke, I had both Dreamcast versions and never managed to beat them π I do like watching other people be good at them.
Almost double the price just to match the performance of the 6 year old PS5? Who's this made for? Obviously not the casual crowd and the PC crowd would want something way more powerful.
Base game will be $70! they wouldn't want any negative articles or negative reactions to the price increase, they want positive word of mouth to surround GTA 6.
@Lavishturtle You threw a PS5 out because you're not getting enough PC ports? That's like me throwing away my Series X because I'm not getting Gears of War: E-Day on PS5 π«€
@awp69 Not counting these rumored Xbox studio closures both Sony & Xbox are at overall about 14 studio closures each, that's allot of talent thrown in the garbage π
I would love for Sony to acquire the studio with the only condition being that this Senua game gets scrapped. Them making Heavenly sword remake or part 2 would be sick, same goes for Enslaved. But these snore fest Hellblade games need to stop ππ»
