I could see that might have been part of the plan for Battle Hub at some point. Plans have certainly changed at this point though. It's a cool idea though.

And they did do the "Support Capcom Cup" costume bundle stuff with SF5 so it's a shame to see them just never even try that again with SF6. I'd be much more willing to pay for that than just the privilege of watching the Capcom Cup.

@Jrs1
For multiple reasons potentially.
1. To simply enjoy competition. Why does anyone watch sports? People enjoy watching the best in the world compete against each other.
2. To potentially learn new techniques/strategies to help bolster your own play when next you hop on the game.
3. Maybe you make a friendly wager with some buddies? People have placed bets on stranger things.

It isn't for everyone but there is certainly an audience out there for this sort of thing.

@MrPeanutbutterz
No because the in-game replays system only captures online matches played. Capcom Cup is a locally played tournament. They did say they will put up a free video of the event a week or two later...but who will care to bother watching outside of maybe some of the highlight matches?

It's a real shame. I've enjoyed following the pro scene for SF6 quite a bit but I just can't support this. The only way I'd even consider paying would be if the ads were removed but we all know that won't happen. Feels bad man.☹️

I'm glad Halo is coming as that is my favorite fps out there but I also really enjoyed Killzone a lot as well. They don't play anything alike really so I doubt Killzone would be overshadowed.

Killzone may not be the most popular shooter out there but they made 6 games in that franchise. Clearly there is an audience for them. Also keep in mind Killzone never released as a multiplatform title. It's sales potential was always cut short by that. Considering how Halo is coming over, what harm would there be in getting Killzone on Xbox and especially PC? Might as well if they would revive it.

Sadly though it doesn't seem like Sony is interested in the series at all at this point so I wouldn't hold my breath. At least I can soon play Halo again on my primary system.

It is quite odd that they just released Gears with its multiplayer intact but are skipping it for Halo. As much as I love Gears MP, I would say Halo's MP is more important to have than Gears MP.

Sure Gears was just a remaster whereas Halo is a full-blown remake but still. It reminds me of how I felt when the Nathan Drake collection launched without Uncharted 2 or 3's multiplayer. Like I'm happy they are here but something is most definitely missing.

I'm sure Halo multiplayer will come around in some form in the future though so I'm not too worried.

Good to have it! I've always preferred Playstation in general but Halo has been and still is the GOAT of fps in my opinion. I always found some way to play the latest Halo release every chance I had. Sometimes it involved going over to a friend's house. Sometimes I joined my brother for a co-op session. I got to play Halo Infinite on PC when I last got a new laptop. Absolutely loved it. It was my GOTY that year.

Having Halo on Playstation is honestly a dream come true for me. Sure I wish it had multiplayer but as stated in this article the future of the series is on Playstation as well. Multiplayer will come. Never thought I'd see the day!

Welcome to Playstation Halo!

Can't deny I'm disappointed to see no multiplayer. Halo without multiplayer is like ordering a pizza with no cheese. That said I imagine there's some sort of Halo multiplayer thing in the works for the future so maybe this is just them getting their feet wet with UE5.

It looks amazing! It does at least have co-op and the extra missions is a nice addition. Looking forward to it for sure.

The production value really is quite incredible. For $30 too it seems solid enough. I was kind of itching for a telltale style game lately so this hit me at the perfect time.

Looking forward to the rest of the episodes. Also nice that the wait is just a week between each release. Much better than the month long wait times with old-school telltale.

Spoken like the boss of a 3rd party publisher.

I get why she would say this considering where Microsoft is now in the market but there's a reason Nintendo and Playstation hardware continue to perform well. They know how to give their platform value. Exclusives are part of it. It is as simple as that.

I honestly didn't even know there were calls for a boycott. 🤣

Glad the game is doing well though. It's really great. I do think I prefer Tsushima ever so slightly as I thought the story for that one was a bit more interesting but Yotei is a great game no doubt.

Kind of funny to think just a couple generations ago, $600 for PS3 was considered ludicrous by the masses. Fast forward to now and it's looking like a pretty fair price especially compared to the competition.😂

I already feel like performance is as even between PC and console as it's ever been so the idea of a PC Xbox just doesn't really make sense to me. Maybe there will be more to it whenever we start hearing more official information about these machines but at face value I just don't see this working out for Xbox.

I'm at a 7. It's a good time with friends but I'd never play it not in a group. Just gets a bit boring then. I didn't touch the campaign since most people seem at best kind of lukewarm on it.

Overall it's a solid shooter. Not my favorite shooter out there but I've certainly played worse.

Rest in Peace Itagaki.
DOA is my favorite 3D fighter series and I respect the hell out of Ninja Gaiden even though I'm terrible at those games!

He will absolutely be missed. One of the GOATs.

I will be there day 1. Halo is still my favorite shooter out there. Can't wait to see it!

I look at the games I'm currently playing and for the most part I just don't see any need for new hardware yet. I didn't see the need for the PS5 Pro. I don't see the need for the PS6.

Ghost of Yotei looks incredible and runs great on my base PS5. Other than that I'm playing mostly JRPGs and SF6. Neither of which are really taxing the hardware in any way.

Of course there is likely something in the works that will tempt me. Perhaps Witcher 4 will be the thing that tips me over the edge. One thing is for sure though I'm done fighting other players and scalpers at launch. It's just not worth the hassle. I will only buy hardware if a stress-free opportunity presents itself!

Edit: The portable possibility does interest me though. Particularly if it's actually ran on the hardware and not like the Portal.

I'd buy an Infamous 1&2 collection day one no question. Doesn't have to be Sucker Punch who does it. In fact that would be a waste of their resources. There are plenty of other devs out there that wouldn't mind taking on the project. Shop it around a bit.

The only way I would even consider paying to watch would be if they completely remove ads and drop the price significantly. Like $5 at the most.

Even then though, it's in Japan. No offense to the Japanese but I'm not paying for something I could potentially fall asleep on!

Just roll it back to the usual setup Capcom. Come on use your heads!

Definitely one I'm keeping an eye on. It looks amazing...a bit too amazing perhaps. If it launches in a good state I'll jump in for sure.

The handling of Bluepoint might be the biggest head scratching decision made by the Jim Ryan era. I'm still genuinely bewildered about that whole debacle. Still, it is good to see they are moving on at least. Wishing them the best with whatever they are working on.

I'm not in any rush to get to it. I'm still playing Yotei and Trails. Maybe in a few weeks though.

No SBMM worked out so well for XDefiant too...oh wait.

I get not wanting every match to be a sweat-fest but I feel like that's just the way it is sometimes. I primarily play SF6 for my multiplayer fix. It wouldn't make sense for the game to match me up with someone way lower in terms of rank. It's not fun for me because I'm just steamrolling the opponent and it's not fun for my opponent because they are getting...well steamrolled.

I feel like SBMM, while not perfect in some ways of course, is still miles better than just throwing everyone into the match pool with zero consideration for skill level.

Say what you will about COD but you gotta respect that they still put in some effort on their campaigns. Sure they aren't always good but they've hit more than they missed. BF campaigns have almost always missed outside of Bad Company.

Cool to see and well deserved. The game has been an absolute blast so far.

Another thing to keep in mind is that with the way things are going, buying consoles at/close to launch is actually turning out to be cheaper than waiting in the long run. It's odd but I have a feeling that's actually a major reason it's done so well so early.

Damn. This sounds awesome. People just let their personal politics control too much of their lives. On both sides. A real shame. Hopefully if this was in the works the project can be revisited at some point in the future.

Usually I'm at one new game a month unless it's just a really good release month. I do partake in sales though when the opportunity arrives on something I'm interested in.

Guess I'll be firing up E33 again. Looking forward to what this new area involves. That teaser image is very interesting indeed!

Absolutely loving it so far. It just proves yet again how damn good Sucker Punch is as a studio. Just awesome across the board. I honestly can't think of a complaint for it. Just a stone cold great game.

Of course I'll play it. Halo is still far and away my favorite shooter series of all time. Being able to play it on my preferred platform is a thing I never thought would happen!

Has Sony made some mistakes? Sure. "Blowing it" though? Complete nonsense.

That sucks. I love SF6. I love watching SF6 but I'm not paying $40 for a stream. That's just crazy.

It's such a shame. Bully is such an awesome game and still to this day is my favorite from R*. I'd love to be wrong but I just don't see current day R* making anything other than GTA and Red Dead.

The funny thing is the Stars program actually pushed me towards digital purchasing since you could get some store credit which in the end got Sony more of my money. Now I've veered back to buying physical since there's no longer an incentive to buy digital versions outside of convenience.

They are actually making less money off of me as customer from this. An exclusive merch store is not a compelling incentive for a rewards program. Simple as that.

It's on my radar for sure. They are definitely saying all the right things at the moment. Certainly one of the most interesting titles coming up for a multitude of reasons.

This was pretty disappointing I gotta say after the EVO trailer made it seem like this presentation was going to be a bit more substantial. Oh well. Maybe next time. It certainly makes me think this game is still very far out from release though.

Not really too much for me. Wolverine looks cool. Saros, I'll probably pass since I never was really interested in Returnal and it looks pretty similar to say the least. Nothing in the middle really caught my attention either. Good month for PS+ though at least.

Edit: Oh yeah Crimson Desert getting a date is cool though. I'm interested to see how that one turns out.

Very cool looking. Her burnout pressure is probably going to be obnoxious with all the side-switching flippy-dippy kicks she's got going on. Maintaining drive meter against her will be a must to have access to parry!

I never got around to the Christmas stuff they added last year so I'm planning on jumping in around December this year instead. So much content added to this game, and all free for the most part!

Stellar Blade is literally the gift that keeps on giving.

Well. Well. That is certainly interesting. The game does look cool but I was hesitant to jump in specifically because I don't want to engage in another gatcha. Cosmetic only though? That gets my attention for sure.

Eek. No thanks. Bring back Stars!

I really enjoyed Fall Guys a lot. Sure I don't play it anymore very much but I have some very fond memories playing it with friends.

If this is the end it's had a good run. Much better than the vast majority of live service games out there.

So excited to play it! Can't wait to go adventuring with Estelle and Joshua once again!

It's unfortunate but at least it isn't a massive reduction. I'll take it over another price increase.

A shame to hear but if the studio's heart isn't in it then I'd rather they work on something else they are passionate for. But for the love of God can we at least get an Infamous 1&2 collection on PS5? I'd buy it in a heartbeat!

I think Ghost still would have done well for itself but the delay certainly doesn't hurt. 😄

This movie will be glorious no doubt about it.

I didn't really click with the first one so I'm naturally not playing this. Good for the folks that have been waiting for for it though.

Love me some Bond and this looks like just what the doctor ordered. Good showing IO. Consider myself sold.

I would certainly make an effort to see this if it comes around my neck of the woods.

I hate to doom and gloom upcoming games but I just don't see any chance of this ending well. Just sounds so uninteresting to me and judging by the discussion (or lack there of) around this game not many others are interested either.
