DC already has a rival, and a might one.
Injustice 1&2 with the 3rd coming.
Tokon looks like a mobile game compared to Injustice.

@SodaPop6548 look at the number of remaster we got this generation, remasters of games from last generation.

Tried them both for free.
Could not convince myself to buy it.
And rather understood why they didn’t sell well.

@Drago201 they will release also on PC. Listen, everyone talks they need big games and big exclusives - what is bigger than Elder Scrolls or Fallout? These are biggest western rpgs. No competition.

If they are exclusive they sell consoles.

@Radekbejbl1 they already confirmed these are not coming in any future.

@Dogbreath
„ As someone who owned an XSX, the problem was that the exclusives were too few and far between, and they were not the big must have hits that we had every right to expect.”

Yeah because Sony delivered lots of exclusives very often and all top quality Maybe in PS3/4 generation. But this generation is terrible in that matter.

@MrPeanutbutterz say whatever you want, this is still a paywall mechanic and is not a perk. Obviously on this website some will defend it for known reasons.

Anyway did not plan to buy anything from the Store. I pass on their digital sales and buy it elsewhere. That is a perk of having a choice. Something that will disappear once they kill physical games.

@naruball he can pass on PS6, just like many other people disappointed in corporation now.
More people like him = less money for them. And that is a good thing in these circumstances.

This thing looks like indie generic title.
No idea what they expect from it, this won’t sell well.

They are milking this IP in movies same way as in games. And same as in games, every next movie gets worse than the others.
Spiderman IP started as 5 star meal with first game and movies, and became a fastfood 3 games and 15 movies later.

Still not interested in buying that crap

@DennisReynolds and it was proven Sony was lying: in their statistics to support how great digital games sell, they included also every single DLC, digital content like albums or manuals, and yes.. in game currency. This way they significantly increased % of digital vs physical.
I also don’t believe all these sudden articles and analytics, which did not show up before they made announcement, and now so many influencers and journalists make such articles. Do you know some of these may be sponsored?

They should finally announce what will and what will not be exclusive. If they really want Helix to sell, it needs to have exclusive games, and big names too. Elder Scrolls or Fallout are such.

@MrPeanutbutterz there’s a difference between a remake/remaster of a game from 2013 and one done for a game from 2020. One of these is fine, the other is just a cash grab.

Just wait for the pricing when they introduce these new prices in Store. One of you will see the game for $50, the other one for $40. All this together with their extremely high prices of everything in Store. When I see there a 5 year old game still sold at release price I laugh. I bough the box for 20% of that price.

The mob is targeting different studios at purpose. These developers, smaller and bigger ones, rely on marketing collaboration with Sony. Apparently, Sony doesn’t care about their public image anymore, they just went silent. But other companies care about their public image and this may lead them to end their collaboration. It is no coincidence that right after Sony announcement when all this started, suddenly PS App and Store removed GTA6 themes. This was not coincidence. This was requested by Rockstar. So basically what people are doing works.

Yet another month that fully supports my decision to cancel subscription half year ago. Basically cheap indies and few old bigger titles you can get cheap everywhere outside PS Store.

@PanFriedSoup Can guarantee not all of them. The only way I play this is getting preowned copy so they do not see my money. Otherwise I pass. I am already tired with Insomniac formula after 3 similar Spiderman games.

@HonestHick They will most likely release remasters on PS5, but the ES6 and Fallout 5 will most likely become exclusive. If MS wants to sell consoles they need exclusives. And there are very little franchises that would drag so much attention. Elder Scrolls and Fallouts are such franchises.

@Bot_Bot_69 what’s wrong with Oblivion? I already have 200 hrs in and no issues I would notice. Even runs well. Good old oblivion with updated graphics.

@Bot_Bot_69 bad press? Well, MS could do this the Sony way and just hide and disappear from social media for a week, turn off comment sections..

Saying niche genre is just excuse. This is online multiplayer shooter, these are pretty popular if are good enough.
Arc Raiders is good.
Hunt Showdown is good.
Marathon is not. Simply that.

What about claims Sony is using bots in social media..?

@PanFriedSoup their games are starting to have a look indeed. They look the same.

.. so close to release and they make a CGI..?!

Well, people learnt that only thing that will hit Sony executives and make them notice customers opinions is hit in their wallet.

If you want them to even consider change of course, that is the only way it may happen.
Just bought Black Flag physical and GTA digital, both on Xbox. Planning to buy Crimson Desert, and definitely not on PS.

@Nexozi well, it just seems they managed to train their most loyal customers to accept this. And even defend this.

@MrPeanutbutterz to me it’s the same kind of paywall like releasing game 10th September but granting access to anyone who paid for premium version few days earlier.
It’s still a paywall.

@twitchtvpat you seem to really care what people think I don’t. I just said what I think.

@ElPenitente she made a statement during interview. I actually read it.

@Reeneman not that much, backwards compatibility on Series consoles is unmatched by anything Sony has now. I even managed to emulate God of War original 1 & 2 on Series

Another example, look how people wait for KOTOR remake on PS. Guess where you can play KOTOR 1&2..

@Almost_Ghostly Yeah, because Spiderman 1, Morales, and SM 2 are so different from another, and people really do not see Wolverine looks like reusing same formula for 4th time..

The thing is, Sony makes basically one genre of games, in few IPs, which play similar to each other. Fun fact, it’s 2026 and I can already tell you whole lineup of their exclusives for a whole next generation. Basically take games from PS5 and add “Remastered” or “Definitive Edition” or add new sequel number. That’s it.

@MrPeanutbutterz Let’s do same exercise for the competition. We hear people abused the system by buying preowned copies of games or exchanging with friends. Yet, that’s something Sony not only allowed, but also promoted in media for years.

@AdamNovice not the digital one at least. Physical one you will get at fair price in few months.

@The_Hooligan retailers will sell codes to PS Store meaning they still control prices.

@Oram77 still hidden behind a paywall.

@MrPeanutbutterz still, this changes nothing. It’s hidden behind a paywall.

Meanwhile Sony will introduce their own Project Positron: you own a physical copy of game XYZ? You can purchase it again digitally in PS Store so you own a digital copy too

So now they hide these behind a paywall?

If less console sell, and profit must grow, you know what that means.
"It will need to focus on hardcore gamers who spend more than ever"

Prices going up.

How is that something good for us, end users?

Didn’t they just come back to the size from 2016 when they delivered Doom?

I’m passing on this.
First, not a true GOW game with all that agenda.
Second, that’s how boycott works, talking is only talking, not buying games is taking actions.

Managed to buy a Chrono Trigger for 3DS, so that’s what I’ll play for next few days

@The_Hooligan
1) you pay for license to use the product, but on PC you can purchase from various shops, with various discounts, usually much cheaper than PS Store.
2) no idea, none of my games was removed allowing me to verify that..
3) prices are MUCH better than PS Store, refund policy allows you to get a real refund unlike on PS
4) partially, but I no longer trust Sony considering their Finance VP said about more monetizing an increasing profits from player base. It usually means prices go up, not down. Also if PS6 really is near $1200, I won’t buy it.

@ilyn you know what else repeat most of the content? All their damn sequels. Literally 90% of their first party games are sequels this generation with even assets being reused.

@0niguy Steam sells cheaper. PC has various storefronts. There is no monopoly of one eshop.

I am surprised knowning what greedy Sony may do when they get rid of discs and drive, there are still people defending this move.

@AdamNovice It’s similar to statistics done during elections. These are not real votes, yet on the end these statistics are often close to end results. Statistics doesn’t mean you go ask 90m people.

@AdamNovice if its fine to be so short, why then the price is same as for 20-30-80h long games?

@ThePlaystationStan Digital on PC with competitive stores is ok. Digital on PS6 with one store giving them monopoly to set prices is damn wrong.

There’s a name for what they are doing.
Greed.
