Do we know which remaster will be starting title for PS6..?!

If they secured memory... why are they increasing prices..?!

With so many people still having PS5 unplugged, hearing they see increase in actove users smells like bul**hit.

Especially since it's based on their internal estimation. Which was already proven to be manipulated for digital vs physical games sales reports.

@REALAIS
Their first parties are still on PC.
They are just not earning on then anymore.

@get2sammyb
It's below the production cost. Much below.
That's why it is a disaster.

The 400k sales I feel I know where it targets.
Probably not Saros, right..?

They already bundle it with Spiderman 2 lol

Now it's only $5.
Because you still have discs as alternative.

Just wait to see prices after 2028.

Call of Duty or course.
Then Final Fantasy.
Then Valor Mortis.

@EfYI GTA6 will be emulated within 2 weeks from release. Good guys are very motivated to make it happen

If they released a physical game I would consider buying. Maybe. Bit GTA never was on my top list play list.

@Rich33
I don’t try to justify anything, and I no longer have issue with Sony.. I stopped spending money on their ecosystem few months ago.

Now some corrections.
Sony causes higher game prices for honest customers, their cut is high, and they want to kill discs to set prices even higher.
“Sony having to spend increased money on preventing piracy and jailbreaking will filter down to customers as well” - which is funny because because they started that war and there is no possibility they could ever win it.

“Piracy also has a negative affect on developers too.”
Depends. If I like any game, I buy it, physical version and use disc-to-digital to add also digital version to my library.
I just don’t buy it on PlayStation anymore.

There is no way they would convince me to add my card back to PS Store.

Doesn’t look very convincing..

Replaying the Evil Within series so I am fine. Apart from that bought few of the list too.

And what is their plan with that?

@Rich33 This is just Sony trying to maximize profits at our cost. People just learned there are cheaper ways to play games. Much cheaper.

I bet no matter what they do GTA will run on PC two weeks after release.

@GeeEssEff The point is, you rate high anything Sony releases even if it’s mid game. I don’t.

I never actually tried it before so loaded yesterday. I must say, I would love if they kept the isometric style and graphics style. Once you get used to it it’s pretty good. Gameplay is fun.

Nothing really interesting.
Luckily Zelda comes out

@Wall-Di Actually you can find some decent discounts here and there. It needs a lot of patience unfortunately. Since Sony announcement about killing physical games, I removed my card from PS Store and stopped spending money there, now I spend on the competitor’s hardware. And that’s funny.. since having both systems before I buy a game I check both prices.. and Xbox more often has a price few dollars lower than Sony for the same game. Not by much, $20 here and $16-17 there.. but still this makes a difference if you buy more often.

Luckily enough, when my PS5 updated to 13.60 I just stopped using it for long and was turned off, so it stayed 13.60 So.. well.. I don’t plan to buy PS6, so don’t plan on growing my PS library.. and did the obvious, now the PS5 really delivers.

@GeeEssEff
Starfield actually has pretty good graphics, and the scale none of these have. The problem with Starfield isn’t graphics - it’s the boring story. I played nearly 200 hours and barely remember what was the damn story. Compared to Elder Scrolls or Fallout that one was bland.

Age of Empires is an RTS, you won’t see super realistic graphics in these. Plus this is a father of all RTS games. One of the best still to this day.

HiFi Rush went to comic graphics and not realism, in this area this is top game. Name any other with similar style. None.
Same for Pentiment. Or Scorn.

AstroBot did only one thing - copied mechanics from Mario and Little Big Planet, and reused graphics and resources from Astro Playroom. Just made it longer. It’s fine for what it is, a 3D platformer, but did absolutely nothing original. Hence, the sales.

Hellblade 2 still to this day is number one when it comes to graphics quality. Also sound design which is original here. Gameplay wise it’s just another interactive movie, but these are also fun (cough cough Until Dawn).

Yeah.. let’s wait to so what project got green light from Sony.. I bet this will be live service.

And another paid updating.. what a time we live in.

Evil Within 1&2.

Compared how cheap you can buy these games, vs the price of Plus.. it’s another crap month.

Digital Games Monetisation - even the title sounds quite negative for gamers. Let’s not pretend what it means and where it leads.

You think dynamic prices is bad..?
Oh, just wait couple weeks or months and this will be the least issue.

Well.. that was expected. Surprise surprise.

@psmr Morrowind. Blame my drunk mind.

@Wall-Di That is why when I hear about next gen Xbox being expensive I am thinking „so you believe PS6 won’t be expensive?!”.

Let’s just hope game prices won’t rise with consoles.

@GeeEssEff Yes, Hellblade 2 was also around 7/10 but I increased because Hellblade 2 is incredible graphics standard, is what Crysis games were in the past. None other game comes even close to gameplay wise it’s 7/10, but overall it’s 9/10.

ME4 graphics are are great as well, and it’s not 8 hour game. It’s couple hundred hours game. It’s multiplayer.

Who the hell os buying COD or Battlefield for single player..?!?

@Weebleman
That „highly regarded” company is known to be wrong in past information they shared, quite often. Game sold not that much copies to have such impact.
Take into account GTA6 trailers and marketing in that timeline. Take the fact that analytics were shared about potential prices of PS6 and growth of PS5 prices. People secured their console while they could.

Also I stand by what I said: if people decide to spend those money now so close to end of life cycle means they will not jump to PS6 for long.

GTA6 magic. For sure.

Also most of these people who decide to buy PS5/Pro in almost end of its life cycle means they don’t plan to jump into digital only PS6 for few years at least.

According to some leaks here and there they seriously consider making Elder Scrolls 6 the starting title of Helix, as well as making it exclusive to Xbox.
Which is pretty obvious, considering Elder Scrolls as biggest and most known western RPG answer to jRPG giant like Final Fantasy, is in fact a real system seller. This happened already in the past, Oblivion was exclusive, until Remaster was released not long ago.

@Wall-Di Well. Not the first thing they copied

@GeeEssEff
Starfield 9/10, played for 350 hours.
Hellblade II 8/10 I would now change to 9/10 as this is most impressive game graphics still to this day.
Age of Empires II 10/10 I played nearly 600 hours and still counting.
AstroBot got a 7/10, played 15 hours, that’s a one timer. Played and sold.

Considering they all cost same prices I also take length in the rating. While others take only developer name.

PS. I also rated TLOU1 and Tsushima a 10/10 each, that is where your accusations fail.

@Oram77 @Nepp67
That’s why I quoted Metacritic scores that are average of many reviews. And according to most of them MW4 is a better game than Wolverine.
Unless it’s review coming from Sony oriented website. That’s why I used word „biased”.

Welcome to PureXbox

Meanwhile, I read here that Wolverine that sold barely 2.2m copies pushed PS5 sales up.. and GTA6 release and trailers have nothing to do with that of course. It’s pretty logical if so many people decide now, so close to generation end, to buy PS5/Pro.. they don’t plan to buy PS6 and want to secure current gen.

And cost $1200-1500.
With only one game store available.
No way.

That’s a huge bulls*it considering how poor sales are. 2.2m didn’t have that impact.

More original controllers than games lol.

MW4 gets 7/10 while Wolverine got 8/10 …?

Have you seen Metacritic average scores..?
Someone is biased here.. I wonder why..

@GeeEssEff Some people are better trained to protect Sony, which we could observe right after they announced digital only future and killing physical distribution.

And yet.. so many defended them because it will be better that way. Better for whom lol.

Arkane did make good games.
One went wrong and suddenly they are criticized.
I see nobody here saying Bungie employees should be making walk of shame through streets.

@ShadowRJ Traversal.. well.. COD games were always played on smaller arenas than Battlefields. If you add a helicopter then the arena would need to be bigger and action would be slow paced.

Adding bosses would also make no sense.
COD isn’t Resident Evil.

Layoffs by 11% isn’t that bad, I guess.
Let’s see where they fire next, that is rather a start and not an incident.

@ShadowRJ Well. COD is an FPS shooter. What else can you change or add there. You won’t reinvent the wheel. After so many games released you get tired of it at some point.

Same for any other genre or franchise.

They can fight.
They will lose it again and again.

Yeah, especially the world, with no interaction, and some really low quality graphics here and there. Story being so ridiculous. And lack of my region language. It feels more like AA than AAA.

When I have seen the presentation on YT I thought it’s showing me video from 2005…

They want to release an expensive product with features we all have already for two decades in out pockets: smartphones.
Some of these, the more premium ones, have tech that provides same quality. What’s funny - they are cheaper than this.

Sony by accident thought it’s 2005 again and they do whatever they can to repeat same errors they made with their whole audio division or smartphone division.

@GeeEssEff You clearly have no idea what you talk about Labor laws are in most countries and they are fine, they protect employees. But in France they got ridiculous to the point people often don’t care about how they do their work.
France is special.

I don’t even know who that is…
Do I miss anything..?!
