@Deljo played GT4 and GOW2 on Xbox so cannot understand why Sony does not support their own backward compatibility like that.

@tselliot Man, Sony would kneel to take $1m and you say they don’t need that $2m? What Sony was doing in recent few years seems like they are every focused to take any money from us, from others here and even go to court to get more.
I am not biased, they are corporation focused on maximizing profit. We can see that in game pricing going up, Plus pricing going up, console prices going up too

@TrollOfWar I think they did sing that. OD was ordered before MS changed their strategies.

@tselliot It is not that bad. They will be paid by MS for that development plus also for adding into GamePass. Kojima will get nice payment for all of that. Sales does not really matter at this point.

@Cvantez personally speaking, I don’t care how much power Switch 2 has, just like did not care with Switch 1, 3DS and their other consoles.
I like Nintendo games, they are something else after playing this huge open world action adventure games. When I want to just relax I take 3DS or Switch, not PS5 or XSX.

I did not even expect they will add anything exciting. It’s already a pattern for years they add either some weak titles, games that sold poorly and are cheap to add, or games that are old and yeah cheap.

@Jammer
For now developed only for Xbox, but possibly will land on PS5 a year or two later. I don’t believe Kojima is capable of developing both versions simultaneously, they will finish one and hopefully depending on other projects convert to PS.
Depends on the reception and reviews I guess

@Medic_alert
That’s the story - Jin was a samurai with a code and all that, the story is not only about the war but mainly about the change that happened to Jin and in Jin.
Atsu? I feel like Sony has some fetish on revenge stories: TLOU2, Ragnarok, now Yōtei.

I liked GoT more, liked Jin much more than Atsu, the overall open world, the combat, the gameplay feels very similar and very little evolution. I often had impression this pretty lazy sequel than any huge evolution or revolution.

Overall, this setting and genre, I am fine with Tsushima and Yōtei and hope they will focus on something else now, and not on some kind of 3rd part. I get that the easies they can do is another sequel and start milking this IP like all other IP Sony own, but I have enough of Samurais, katanas and Japan for few years.
Want something new and fresh.

@Rich33
They are releasing one specific build so optimization for that XPC should be similar to what optimization for a specific console is.
After years from dropping PC I am really considering getting that one as long as they deliver what promised (Steam, Epic, GOG etc) plus free online. Of course depending on the price

From last few consoles generations I only see the increase in power is lower and lower while the quality and optimization .. even worse. Not going to buy anything say one this time, will wait to see the games and their condition.

@Ainu20
That’s what I just said. Sony sues them because Sony is not earning here. Only that.

@CaptainWow
Yeah having a group of good team mates here makes a difference. When I play without the it all depends who you get into team and that’s a lottery. But even then having good skill means in most cases you just better than all these noobs.

@Balaam_
Sorry but you have to be kidding.
BF6 comes back to what BF3/4 were and is incredible. I rather found the Yotei lacking here because this is just Tsushima on steroids.
I spent thousand hours in BF3 long ago and I find the BF6 to be incredible here.
It will dominate charts for a long time.

Tried that MFS on SX and all fine but..
I would prefer consoles getting Il-Sturmovik games much much more.

I don’t trust it.
Life lessons we got in last years always lead to the same. What seems to be pro consument in the end is actually pro corporate plan. And these two are not the same.

They don’t need to release it on consoles if MS next gen is going to be a PC it will just ran all of it starting from WOW, StarCrafts Warcrafts etc. Why spend money on conversion to console in this case?

Well. Do not have the PC now, but Retroarch, XBSX2 or Dolphin work like a dream on series X and run lots of big N games, Dreamcast titles and PS2 too.

That’s what you get along with a corporate having monopoly and only one (own) shop available.

Pure corpo crap.

They sue him because they don’t make money here. Only because of that.

I did not see Sony sue scalpers accounts when PS5 or its disc drive were sold at crazy prices. No. Because Sony earned there since scalpers bought it first from them.

Come on.

@Rich33
Next gen may look even more complex when you realize that power wise it may be Xbox PC >>> PS6 > Switch 2.
Devs will focus on PC and PS6 optimization more and I suppose Switch 2 will just get games in the end after some downgrade.

@PuppetMaster
Actually Sony claimed they invested a lot of support in SE Rebirth and look what we got. Have you tried running it on PS5 fat?
Terrible 30 fps or even worse performance mode looking like PS2 title.

@naruball the next Xbox is going to be a PC

Firing people. Series S optimization. And probably fps issues everywhere. Not to mention Pro with its PSSR that almost no developer except Sony can use properly.

Come on Battlefield 6 of course.
The poll results is pure fanboyism.
Yotei is just fine. Nothing more nothing less.

Expedition 33 has no real competition this year.
Because what will compete? A sequel? Another sequel? Third sequel?

Clair Obscur is one of few original games this year.

How will they celebrate it?
Free avatars again?

For now we only hear leaks, rumors and some expectations. Truth is, I don't know yet.

This generation I own all of them: PS5, XSX, Switch and only passed on PC few years ago.
If MS delivers on their promises like Steam, Epic, GOG and other shops availability on their console as well as PC games running and free multiplayer... I can see myself buying their Box assuming the max price to be around $1500.
If it happens I would just pass on PS6, and just keep the Switch.

Even though I don't have a PC for few years, I often buy games at Steam or others to my library there so finally would have some equipment to run it. Also waiting a year or so for Sony to release their games on a Steam isn't a problem. Can wait. PC games are just cheaper to buy as well.

She’s right, and even Sony executives know that.
This is the reason they are releasing their games now also on PC.

@AhmadSumadi of they say they begin works on Fallout game, it is highly possible their works on Elder Scrolls are in final stages. I mean I hope so

PS5: The Witcher 3, my second play, finished it 10 years ago, waited and decided to play again. Surprised how many things changed with updates, new quests, gears, and how many things I actually missed playing first time. Love it.

PS5: Broken Sword Remaster, I have huge sentiment to both 1 & 2, next to Witcher and Skyrim this is my comfort zone

3DS: Professor Layton and Curious Village, to challenge my brain and actually relax.

Played some Halo Infinite and Halo Masterchief Collection on XSX and really… I don’t understand the hype over that IP.
I mean, soundtracks are awesome, the suit looks awesome, but overall this is just another FPS shooter..

@HRdepartment „ company that’s setting unrealistic number expectations and to achieve those numbers it comes at a great cost I know wasn’t considered when they set those numbers”

Oh believe me they considered that great cost when they set these expectations. I work in financial planning and analysis where we prepare a ground for these kinds of plans and from the very beginning it is always required to estimate how to reach the target with different scenarios including the painful ones.

Well, the profit margin expectations they have are rather impossible to reach, no matter if that is Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo. I would say targeting at 20% would be difficult but manageable, but 30% no way.
Anyway, all this does not change a thing, they still plan to release next-gen both stationary and handheld. And if the rumors about stationary being more open equipment like a kind of Xbox branded PC with access to both MS Store and Steam.. that is something I am going tu buy. Of course depending on the price tag assuming it will be more expensive but they must be also realistic. Cannot be too expensive.

But I can imagine one stationary instead of having PS6, Xbox and a PC, why not have one that runs them all. Quite tempting.

@SuntannedDuck2 GT7. Sorry for late reply, a lot of stuff happening right now and wasn’t checking here

@SuntannedDuck2 yeah I got it cheap, bought it preowned for like $18-20 depending on the exchange rate.

As for the first part, I just said almost the same using different words.
As for the second part, I believe people took hard lesson jumping into new generation PS5 and then waiting months and years for exclusive games, they won’t repeat same error and knowing these new AAA titles need many years to develop we can be almost sure there will be a lot of waiting in next gen as well. So why not keep PS5 and wait for several games to release before moving to next gen? That is what I will do this time.
Btw, I think we are unsure of handheld Xbox but the stationary one is already in production, they plan to release it somewhere around a year earlier before PS6 release.

@TripleKing333
Most Sony games are on disc, yes.
All of them? No.

Could not play GT7 neither Morales without significant download.

@SeaDaVie
The problem is Destiny 2 can make money for now but won’t last forever. And their new works seem to rather be a failure. We can discuss but maybe let’s not pretend Marathon will earn..

Bungie once was a studio with great talents and IPs, but now they have no valuable IPs anymore and their greatest talents left the company long before the acquisition. At some point in upcoming 3-4 years I suspect Sony will just close Bungie.

@wildcat_kickz yeah, at the same time we didn’t see Saudis invade countries on the other side of the world for resources, control and to put their puppet governments but we all did US starting conflicts with many casualties, all for oil, power and political benefits.

Most countries have some sins. Smaller or bigger.

@SBBuds not really, Nintendo has incredibly huge and loyal fanbase. Switch one proved that and Switch 2 repeats the process. In these days where Sony and MS release games that are lazy open world adventure games third person view the game library on Nintendo is really diverse and enjoyable.

Notice one thing PS5 great sales come from the fact PS4 sold great and people had their libraries of games they wanted to keep playing. It wasn’t the great list of PS5 exclusives that sold the console because that list was and still is poor compared to PS3/PS4 generation.
Same for Xbox Series sales, the very same.
At the same time Switch 1 was a completely new console that apart from some virtual console games required players to build their game library from the beginning. On a console hardware weaker from all competitors. Yet, it outsold all of them.
You can say Nintendo games are colorful, simpler etc but they are easy to enjoy and start playing. Switch 2 will just repeat the success, while I can bet PS6 and new Xbox sales will be worse than current generation.

Well, having several consoles I did buy some games, others I played through subscriptions like PS+ or GamePass as well. My problem is, a game must have really interesting story, good mechanics, and perfect length, not to mention minimum of grinding and doing repetitive stuff because developer was too lazy to design something new from time to time.

Which means, I rarely finish games. If I finish any of games, I must really like it and find it interesting to reach the end. On one hand played The Witcher 3 three times, both Plague Tale games, or new Tomb Raider trilogy, or Elden Ring.. and many more. On the other hand I deleted both Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West after 30-40 hrs, deleted Spiderman 2 after maybe 12 hrs, never finished AC Odyssey or Valhalla, or even the great Ghost ot Tsushima (which felt like Ubisoft style game unfortunately).

That is why I do a pros/cons analysis before buying any game to justify the cost and check if I want to play and finish that game or I am only bored and need something different for couple hours to get bored again with it. Being able to afford these games doesn’t justify throwing away cash for something in many cases I won’t like and won’t finish.

I do hope they spend some time to get rid of all the woke from it and cut cooperation with SweetBaby. I also hope it will be something new and not Spiderman 2 with new skin.

@Flaming_Kaiser I mean game development took 10 years. Looking at the game itself, I’d say they probably developed it during weekend.

Went for Tactics Ogre - it’s incredible!

„It sold on the hype and a lot of those people moved on to…”

…newer generation because they had game libraries from PS4. That is basically how I would describe PS5 sales. And then there was cold shower - where are the games, where are the games…

Funny. Just wait for PS6 release - its price will start where the PS5 Pro price level is and go even higher with 2x dualsenses and game included.

What is more funny, I fear people did not learn the lesson with PS5 release and lack of first party game releases. I wonder how often they will release on PS6 considering new AAA games take 4-6 years to develop and they did not even start developing PS6 games yet because they focus to develop anything still for PS5..

@Flaming_Kaiser
It took them over 10 years to produce this crap, it will take more than few months to improve and fix it. It’s not only poor performance. It’s boring characters, generic world. This is another example of Chinese development model - copying.

Generic story.
Generic and boring characters.
Lots of mechanics and ideas just copied from other games.
Performance issues.

It’s a kind of game that you won’t miss anything if you just ignore it.

Cronos day1
Silent Hill f after reviews and first gameplays, I don’t trust them
Battlefied day1

Aaand cancelled Yōtei preorder after they did a gameplay and visuals presentation. Not what I hoped for.

You guys know what it means?
State of Play focused on third party game means we will not see any Sony first party game for a looong time. If they had anything to show they would I guess.

And that 007.. I am not convinced to buy it. If that was a mature, serious game with some movie like theme - would buy day1.
But 007 James Bond Junior not really..
