The Atari 5200 had the first "Analog" controller, Nintendo pioneered the first "Self Centering Analog Controller" and Sony was the first with "Dual Analogs".
It truly was Nintendo that locked the technology down for it to be viable for today's games.
I said they should have bought Ember Labs a long time ago. They could get them on the cheap, and it would have been a hell of a lot better investment than buying Bungie.
I got the game on launch date, and I am looking forward to playing it. After reading this review, and seeing other reviews, I may wait to see if a a patch drops soon that stops some stuttering and frame rate issues.
@Titntin
My apologies, to my friends across the pond.
I should have COLOURED that a different way.
In my American ignorance I should have realized that you do not follow Webster's dictonary for our Americans proverbial pronunciation of a phrase that you say entirely differently
Maybe I should say Jag-U-Waar, instead of Jaguar?
Maybe I should say Ala-menium, instead of Aluminum
Maybe I should say Bonnet instead of Hood
Maybe I should say you all drive on the wrong side of the road, and if you didn't, you could turn right on red.
Maybe I should say Gare-idge, instead of Ga-rahj
Maybe I should pronounce Shed-jool instead of Skeed-jool
You say Tomato I say Tomatoe
(Though I absolutely don't doubt that some, like yourself, will skip the console for that reason — I just disagree it's going to be the primary motivator.)
And that is where I think you are completely wrong! As I said, we will see when the PS6 launches and that is where we will truly see that most of the rejection is not from bots, but actual people that want physical. That is the main reason I will not buy a PS6, and I am sure I am part of a large majority. The denial for a company to sell me something that I cannot hold in my hand is something that I am sure that a lot of people are against.
BS!
We will see how the PS6 sales when it is released, then we will see how many of those were actual "Fake Accounts"
I know I will not be buying a PS6 so Sony can suck my "fake account" digital ****!
"Going back to a more worldwide look, Ampere Analysis reports 45% of Silent Hill: Townfall sales were for the physical version, boxed copies of The Blood of Dawnwalker made up 36% of total sales, and 30% of Onimusha: Way of the Sword sales were physical."
Townfall with 45% makes no sense, because the Steelbooks for both Dawnwalker and Onimusha are freaking beautiful!
I know that is kind of off topic, but I have both Dawnwalker and Onimusha Steelbooks, and any game selling great on physical, truly makes me happy
I did not want the PlayStation Console because I honestly do not think it looks that great.
I bought the Astro Bot set and got it yesterday.
I am waiting for my son, a Lego Freak, and my granddaughter to get together with me, and we will then put it together.
@Areus
Did you happen to see on Nintendo Life, this company's sister site, how many physical copies of Fire Emblem, Fortunes Weave was sold in it's first week?
120,000, that means only 7,131 were downloads (I bought the collectors edition)
Sony always has tried to underestimate their physical sales, because it is what more people buy, and they want to divert from that.
The PlayStation 5 with a disc drive significantly outsells the digital-only model, accounting for roughly 73% to 82% of total PS5 console sales.
This is why people are pissed, and no disc has turned me off the PS6 entirely!!!!
I would rather continue to buy disc games for my PS5, than buy a PS6!
It amazes me at how many negative comments there are about these games.
I have platinum in both games. I think they are masterclasses of how games should be made.
By the time you get close to the end, of both games, you feel like an indestructible god!
The gameplay is amazing and the nemesis system was so damn fun in Shadow Of War.
I think the gameplay went over a lot of peoples heads that were just looking for a hack and slash......This game is not about that.
It is about learning the skill set you adopt and working on chaining those skills together.
Again, like I said. Both games are masterpieces as far as I am concerned!
I do not know how to put into words how sad I am that this developer is closing. I am so sorry that this is happening......That is as close as I can come to words that describe how I feel.
I bought both Steelbook editions, and I am MORE than happy that they are both doing well. Both are well deserved and I am more than happy to see Rebel Wolves off to an amazing start!!!!!!
It's a terrible design!
It has nothing to do with physical media.
There was a million good ways the design could go, and they chose to ***** it up in 1 of 3 ways!
What did you think of them? I am really hoping that the Mordor series will get a resurgence. My PSN name is Kriandis if you would like to add me. I am across the pond.
@BrockSmith I agree 100% When they announced no more discs after Jan 2028, that was it for me....This is just icing on the cake.
As long as Nintendo keeps putting out physical games, I will only buy their consoles, Sony on the other hand....I have a lot of physical back catalog from PS2 to PS5 to catch up on anyway.
To me, it seems, that PS5 is my last Sony Console. I still have a lot of PHYSICAL back catalog games to catch up on, so Sony can suck a huge, fat, crayon!
I could care less about multi-player. I don't even subscribe to PS Plus, because I do not play multiplayer games. I will just wait for it to drop to $6 on Steam.

Why not have Bungie work on a Killzone/Destiny tie in trilogy. They are only 400 years apart in their respected timelines. I do not know how the story would work out, that is what would make it cool. I know they could tie the storyline to the ISA (Interplanetary Strategic Alliance)
I would definitely play a new Killzone, and I think it would be a cool idea.
SONY SHOULD HAVE NEVER BOUGHT BUNGIE FOR THE RIDICULOUS AMOUNT THAT THEY PAID!!!!
