Re: Sony Considering PS6 Delay to 2028 or Even 2029, New Report Says

Kriandis

@graymamba
Same. I do not understand how Sony think they can, graphically, go beyond what is already going on now.

Plus, Everything is getting so expensive! I think I will skip the PS6 and hope that the PS7 will be more impressive, because I honestly do not think that the PS6 is going to be much better than the PS5

Sony is notorious to release game trailer/ game play trailer that always over hypes and under delivers. Hardly any of the 1st party games have ever lived up to their announcement trailers, and we have yet to see anything close to this announcement trailer....Remember this?

"The thing is, if Sony decided to go discless for the PS6, there's nothing anyone could do about it."

Dumbest thing I have ever read! Yes there is something consumers could do, and that would be not to buy it.

I only ever buy physical media. Call me old fashion, but I think having the ability to hold what you buy, is pretty f'ing important!

The day that consoles go "all digital" is the day that I am done with gaming.
I already have a HUGE back catalog of games that I need to play, and consoles going digital would only incentivize me more to play them.

Re: 'Partnering with PS Studios Has Empowered Us': Sony Steps Up Investment in Kena's PS5 Sequel

Sony should have bought Ember Labs WAAAAAY before buying Bungie!

I said Sony should buy them when the first Kena came out, and I stand by that. I also said that Sony should have bought Ready At Dawn.

I would still, much prefer those studios, over Bungie, and Sony would have gotten two studios at a fraction of the cost that they paid for Bungie!

I would still love to see the expected sequel to The Order 1886!

The most important part, which will save Sony a lot of money, that they can then put towards other entertainment ventures

"The new company will handle everything from product development and manufacturing to sales, logistics, and customer support on a global scale. If all regulatory approvals go through, operations are expected to begin in April 2027."

I literally is that simple, as this article states
https://www.tomsguide.com/tvs/sony-just-handed-its-tv-business-to-tcl-heres-what-it-means-for-you
I do not understand why people feel the need to argue about something online about something that is so straight cut and forward.
It will not take affect until 2027, per article, but it will allow Sony to put money elsewhere.
There is no other reason for Sony to do it, other than freeing up capital.
Simple Economics.

@RoomWithaMoose
Less money put into the R&D television side, and also less in manufacturing/packaging/shipping of the televisions, means more money for their entertainment side.
TCL is taking that side of things over, which frees up more money for Sony to spend on the entertainment (Movies & Gaming) side of their operations.

Re: Poll: Five Years of PS5 - How Would You Rate Sony's Console?

Kriandis

@Junghova
Same here. I have been gaming since the Odyssey.
The PS5, in my opinion, is the worst console Sony has released.

For most of this cycle it has only had remakes or remasters. That is fine for people that never played the games, but us old timers that grew up gaming, I feel we just do not care for those, because it is a been there done that.

I love gaming, and I have a HUGE back catalog on PS5/PS4 and Switch, so I will hold off on the PS6 so I can catch up on the games that I have not played yet.

'PS Portal Users Are More Engaged Than Non-Users': Sony's Hit Handheld Outperforms All Other Remote Play Methods

LOL!

How many MORE remote play methods are there for PS5?!?!?!?

This cracks me up as well
None of this is hugely surprising given the bespoke nature of the PS Portal – if you bought it, you probably did so for Remote Play – but as we alluded to above, it demonstrates how penetrative the peripheral has proven overall.

WHAT!?!?!?! LOL!

Re: Sony Speaks on Bungie Acquisition Disaster, Takes an 'Impairment Loss'

Kriandis

It is funny how everyone but Sony seen this as a disastrous move.

Bungie only ever had ONE....Count that....ONE...One hit under their belt and it was Halo.....Which did not come with the deal!

Sony buying Bungie, and especially what they paid for them, was the dumbest thing I have ever seen in my 40+ years of gaming.
