Just LOL.
A game supposed to be PS6 exclusive just became potential Xbox exclusive. Reasons to buy PS6 just disappear one after another.

@KeenAerondight it’s no coincidence Spiderman 1 designs were fine, and suddenly Spiderman 2 and Wolverine we see less attractive designs. SB Inc was involved in both of these. No coincidence.

@themightyant Of course PS6 will sell. But wait with statements on who eats his words, it will sell MUCH worse than PS5 which sold worse than PS4. See a trend there?

Own all of the main series games. That one is a must have. These games are really good break from all this open world third person action games. But I’ll wait for PC release.

Pretty weak month. I mean, like always anything that’s cheap, but now these seem to be just huge disappointment considering subscription fee.

@Lock_Dock122 Is Columbia the only one producer?

It’s not Sony movie.
They are not producing it.
They are only distributing.

@KeenAerondight That’s true. They are redoing same formula over and over again until it got just boring. It’s like playing one and the same game several times.

And of course in this one they also messed up character designs. If they need to come out and explain who is who then yes - they messed up character designs. And for some reason made them look.. ugly?

@PuppetMaster The best games in the series take place in the Silent Hill. Including Silent Hill 3 which takes place also in the SH town in second part of the game.

You think Silent Hill and automatically think of either 2 or 3.
You think Townfall and automatically think “spin off”.

I’ll wait to see more gameplay and story but for now I think they could name it differently and no one would even care.

@twitchtvpat It will not cost too much below its production value plus marketing, logistics, margins and taxes. If hardware alone plus assembly lands at $1000 without any other costs, you cannot expect they sell it for $800.

It’s not a rocket science. Basics of economy.

@AdamNovice The same formula over and over again will at some pony reach critical level for many. At some point you get the impression you are playing one and the same game over and over again.

@Rhaoulos yeah, the movie will be digital only

@Oram77 Oblivion Remake sold around 5m copies as of now. That’s more than most other games in a year or two. For some even lifetime sales are lower. You may not like it, but many do like it.

@Oram77 Consider this. Many (adult) console owners will buy GTA, but not all of them. On the other hand most owners of Switch 2 will buy Ocarina. For GTA.. there will be many just waiting for PC release as well.

@TheArt I’m replaying it on 3DS :S

These may have different budget and size, but sales wise I wouldn’t be so sure to tell which sells better considering Ocarina is a classic.

Nice pro-consumer attitude.
Quite rare nowadays

@Oram77 …and RE4 Remake… and Silent Hill 2 Remake.. and Oblivion Remake… and Demon Souls Remake.. and Diablo 2 Resurrected of course… the list is longer than two games you mentioned.

Dawnwalker is so great. Strong Witcher 3 vibes.
Onimusha waiting in the box for later.

Great games.

Dawnwalker of course.
Onimusha later on.

Milking the Marvel, part 5.
It’s getting ridiculous

@Mr-Cage Yeah, this is used here nearly every time. Article headline “PS5 game this PS5 game that PS5 developer”.
You open the text: multiplatform, multiplatform, third party..

@ElPenitente sure but they do this sound like most of multiplatform games are exclusive or something. They are not. At the same time I am starting to see often articles about either MS or Xbox too.. on this PlayStation centric site.
Mostly to show competition in bad light - but while they presented Disk-to-digital program (while Sony has nothing to even compare ) - no article

@Atreus97 may be different title and skins, but for me this just feels like another safe sequel to Spiderman. Just less exciting and less original. All of this we already seen in several of their games.

To me it lacks many things and definitely is not day1 purchase. Rather wait for preowned copy or huge discount.

Only few first party games for years and dozens of controllers..

And people used to joke about Xbox lol

Original Until Dawn was fantastic.
This looks just decent. Nothing more nothing less.

One day may actually buy it, or rent a license as they say now.
On discount. Not really interested for that price it has now.

@Oram77 Barbarian and Weapons were quite good, at least compared to most other movies released these years.
That can also be good if we assume this is not action but rather survival horror theme.

@AdamNovice Intergalactic is still years ahead. While you didn’t expect it, I have seen many hoping at least for new trailer.
And some details on what it will be..

As you said they are surely on different planet. I sense strong woke in that game already looking at what they showed. And that’s their planet indeed.

@TheArt Well, after Jan 2028 Nintendo will still release games on their cartridges. How about Sony..?

Still good there’s at least any disc in that box.

Wasn’t that game already available?
I remember playing some older Ratchets last year..

Same games as already showed several times. No surprises. Nothing spectacular.

Expectations were growing, yet nothing new was shared.
I think I am getting used to these SOPs that do not bring anything new.

Due to the fact they wasted both time and money trying to create some successful live service games.. and failed.. we will be waiting long for any new and fresh single player games from them.

@CheapMerc Why limit yourself. Keep PS5 for few exclusives, buy Helix for all else, also on discs.

PC.. I feel these prices will not go down, they will go up. I fear this will also affect console prices more. If anyone thinks $1200 for a PS5 Pro is expensive just wait till you see PS6 price.

The few biggest and greed run publishers are happy. Take Two for example. Their big games with expensive marketing campaigns will sell.. I mean licenses will be rented.. no matter what.

The problem is for all other developers and smaller publishers. Their sales will go down.

@Kasonsama The Plus games are behind a paywall, they are not for free. If you pay for subscription and add some games to library, but then cancel subscription - you cannot play them until you either pay subscription again or purchase the game.

In some cases it’s just cheaper to buy these games on discounts. Especially if you don’t want to pay them for Plus.

Apart from their greatest set, Millenium Falcon, I’m more into Lego Technic sets.

I hated parts with sim sooo much.
The game was already grinding and running around in circles.. but hearing him taking crap every time and then was irritating.

If they loose some trials, there will be more.
Precedent or whatever. Meanwhile, it’s a pity the EU Parliament isn’t involved. Some simple regulations and requirements and Sony would quickly change some course.

In good hands they could really improve. With good management of course. Which means, most of these who could potentially buy them are not a great choice.

@RawnDawn The first one is a little old and archaic now, you can feel it playing. Unfortunately it’s only PC until the Remake comes out.

The second is huge improvement, getting close to the third, but combat, world divided into smaller parts, not fully open I mean, it’s showing what direction they were going and reached it with the third one. Meanwhile the second Witcher is available on PC and Xbox.

After magnificent Witcher 3 I have huge expectations and fear. Many talents who created the 3, have left the company. These are different people making 4. I hope they focus on the game to shine.

I tried last Ace Combat on PS4/5 and didn’t click for me. Too much arcade. I really miss any good simulators on consoles.

Wait. Suddenly button mashing gameplay is something bad..?!

A Silent Hill not taking place in Silent Hill..
A bland cast..
This looks like a spin off.. not buying spin offs.

@twitchtvpat
@naruball
The thing is, they didn’t confirm the spec yet, but with a little amount of logic we can easily assume what the console will or will not have.

The price of hardware was already mentioned in few articles, hardware parts alone (excluding assembly, warehousing, logistics, margins) totals around $1000. On top of that add all these costs, then also regional taxes, and I think in this case even $1200 is too optimistic. Which seems to in line with what they are doing: they consider to cut down memory in PS6 to lower down the cost.

I mean, now they are of course more focused on court trials and attacking their customers with idiotic emails and accusation. But memory cutting is also on the list.

@GirlVersusGame Sturmovik 2 strength is this is simulation. If anyone thinks Ace Combat has good physics he’s totally wrong. This is arcade.

I remember it was 20 years ago, while studying, my roommate was a fanatic about Sturmovik, had nice PC with all the equipment like some Logitech Hotas, he used that PC for only one game and that was Sturmovik. Damn.. I still remember how fun this was specially in multiplayer vs other players.

I tried MFS but it’s not the same, but if they did aerial combat sim like MFS I would throw money at them.

@dskatter just wait until they start blocking accounts for criticizing them online. They seem like they are on a way to do this at some point.

Meanwhile I think their PR department is a joke. In several weeks they destroy publicly image of a brand they built for decades.

One for sure, they help some people to decide what console to buy for next generation. Not theirs.

@NxtDoc This was already mentioned many times: Sony is not manufacturing Xbox BR discs.
Sony belongs to a Blu Ray Disc Association hence gets some license fees, but they have nothing to do with manufacturing. In fact, discs are produced by many manufacturers, and Xbox is using these in a form of outsourcing. Meaning: Sony can close their disc factories and the only one affected will be Sony itself. Because there will not be coming back to this production. Too high cost for them.

DRM or some kind, rather some specific code, was used since in the past they wanted to link license with user hence make reselling impossible, for what MS Xbox paid huge price as their Xbox One sold badly in a result. They backed down from this idea later but it allowed them now to go live with this Physical-to-Digital project, something Sony is incapable of doing since they lack this DRM/codes.

Nintendo - no idea who makes them, I will assume this time you tell truth.

This will be quite funny when PS6 comes fully digital and Xbox Helix will have a physical drive.
