I would ask 2K to get back into the NCAA mix, but then they would start selling all of the Oregon Ducks different uniforms, and it would break the system.
I do not understand why PS consoles are not released in this classic color! (Colour for my neighbors across the pond)
I get tired of Sony going back and forth with Black and white consoles. The PS1 was the only grey console, but it is such a classic color that I bet 90% of PS fans would prefer it.
As soon as they released the classic grey color controllers for PS4 I snagged 2 up....HELL! I even bought Darkplates retro grey faceplates for my PS5......Guess who does not sell retro grey faceplates for PS5.....SONY!!!!! SONY!.....WHY?!?!
This is a Nintendo, out of touch with consumers, type thing that Sony has....And I truly do not know why.
If Sony and Nintendo did all their future consoles in two different colors, and one of those colors was their classic NES/SNES/PS1 colors....I WOULD GUARANTEE the classic colors would sell like gangbusters!
Again, I truly have no idea why Sony bought Bungie.
As I have said before. This is the Microsoft buyout of Rareware all over, again. The only true difference is that Rare had more than one established I.P. under their belt.......
I really do not understand what the demographic is for this.
I get Japan is more than likely their main customer demographic, because U.S. customers have a t.v. in almost every room, and I feel this is not needed in the U.S. market.
That being said, anyone that is excited about this, I hope it meets their expectations.
As far as I go, I have ZERO interest in this. I have a Switch and I NEVER play it in portable mode, because I just have no use for it. Why play on an 8" screen, when I can play on a 65"
If I feel the need to play a game, I play it on my living room 65" while my wife will sometimes watch me, join in, or just go to our bedroom and watch our 42" t.v....It just serves no purpose in my world, and I understand everyone else's world is different, but if you can pay $200 for a controller with a screen, you can buy a 42" t.v. for another room.....
I am sure there is a crowd, albeit a small one, I am sure there is a crowd. It is not for me though. I have a Switch, and I rarely, if ever, play it in handheld mode.
I still have no damn idea why Sony would by Bungie !?!??!??!?! MS does, and always will, own the Halo franchise/rights/name, Bungie left under that agreement.
Destiny was, in reality, just a reskinned Halo.
Bungie to Sony, is Rareware to MS......A colossal clusterfudge that will amount to nothing!
It's funny how people forget that corporations actually run this world, and not governments.
The great Ned Beatty speech from 1974's Network
"We no longer live in a world of nations and ideologies, Mr. Beale. The world is a college of corporations inexorably determined by the immutable bylaws of business.......The world..... is a business, Mr. Beale. It has been since man crawled out of the slime."
People that are getting worked up over this purchase tend to forget how the FTC has let Disney run rampant for years.
@BeerIsAwesome There is on E-bay. You can report them for price gouging. I have done it on quite a few videogame related items that had not been released. Quite a few actually got taken down, and I have seen 2 or 3 accounts banned from the site because of it.
"Recently, North America's Federal Trade Commission made clear its reservations about the deal, summoning Microsoft to court in order to hear why the deal should be allowed and why it won't damage the competition."
Funny how Misrosoft acquiring a company has the FTC up in arms, yet the FTC let's Disney run amok and acquire almost every television and movie IP in existence.
I guess MS is less reluctant to grease palms as apposed to Disney.
It was a very good episode, as to what I voted it as being, but when you play the game on the first play through and can kind of predict the outcome in the show, things seems to lose their gravity.
I liked that they made Sam deaf, which made his reliance on Henry even more important.
Everyone seemed to hate Kathleen, which I did not mind, The creators were just trying to give a face to what you, as a player, was running from in the game during the Henry and Sam segment. That being said, the game's antagonists seemed more brutal, than in the show, in my opinion.
In the game, they were basically killing people over shoes or boots. This is something that I think has been missing from the show. The desperation of people to survive. This is something I think that has been portrayed better in the game, than in the series. The way I took it from the game, were people overran a FEDRA QZ out of desperation and need, as opposed to Kathleen's need for vengance, Joel even eludes to this circumstance at one point in the game.
But what really bothered me about the episode is that they just gave a nod to Kyle and Ish, which I really wanted them to focus on, hell, I wanted the first last of us dlc to be about Kyle and Ish's backstory. Theirs was a tragic end, and would have fit into the desperation, and would have added to the series story greatly.
Again, the show is just showing 2 characters plot through a wasteland, but there has been little, to no desperation, of people TRYING to survive displayed. This is what I feel the game did better......Again, Looking at Kyle and Ish...
The majority of the gaming public have little, to no interest, in VR. Plus at $550, any interest that Sony hopes to create for VR with the majority of gamers, is instantly thrown out the window at that price point.
@UltimateOtaku91 Do you think Saints Row would have outsold God Of War Ragnarok if they were released around the same time?
I don't, and I bet Ragnarok sales numbers will be higher than Saints Row in the first 2 days of it's release, and it will just be released on two systems.
The Last Of Us is my all time favorite game. I even got the platinum on the PS3 version, but I can't even bring myself to paying $70 for a game that is technically just a reskin of a game that I played through multiple times.
A news article from just recently was talking about how Sony is upset about player engagement decreasing. Raising the price of your system is not going to help that.
The company blamed the deceleration of the overall industry as the reason for the slide, “as opportunities have increased for users to go outside due to a reduction in COVID-19 infections in key markets”. But, unsurprisingly, it’s something the firm aims to address:
No, it is the fact that nothing really "Next Gen" has come out for the PS5 and remakes just keep getting pushed down our throats. The PS5 has become the re-issue/re-master machine, and less of a next gen machine.
It truly doesn't surprise me with all the content and bug fixes that Valhalla has received.....It truly was the most bugged game I have ever played. I Could not get the platinum until a quest bug was fixed....Infuriating!
Since the next game will be always online, I very seriously doubt I will get it.
No,
The Last Of Us is my all time favorite game. I got platinum on the PS3 version, and played through it so many times.
I am still slowly working my way through the remastered version....Seriously, I just got past where Ellie Meets David about 2 weeks ago.
70 bucks for a game that came out in 2013 is just ridiculous, no matter how "Remade" it is.
If it added more to the story, other than the Left Behind DLC content (It is obvious from the trailer) then it might......might, be worth it... I know I would like a Ish and Kyle playthrough, along with a Henry and Sam as well, Hell, even add a Bill and Frank story
Other than those added elements, it is just not worth the asking price.
If sony is going to go back and "Remake" a game, at least add some elements that fans would like to see.
