Ok. I don’t get the hype for Parasite Eve. I tried it last year in SX emulation because it’s not available on PS5, decent game but didn’t get my attention for more than few hours.

PS Store is a mess, full of AI generated, or trash games. Whenever I filter by price growing up, the first 300-400 games are pure trash that should never be added on the store.

The system errors are also there, like some have mentioned above, from time to time on Store same one or two errors happen. It happens for years and Sony did nothing to solve it. Reddit or other forums are full of people reporting it.

@UltimateOtaku91 didn’t MS change their strategy long term? allowing external stores, free multiplayer and PC games support makes their next console quite tempting open system vs the close narrow like Sony has. Considering some Sony games are going to PC, and their first party lineup being quite.. copy-paste-repeat, it can actually be a good strategy.

I mean I am happy some people might be interested in another Horizon Zero West, Spiderman 3, 4, or Ghost of 3, 4.. but I feel for last few years their lineup is just like playing the same again and again. Hybrid system with PC support might be quite a refreshing thing.

@LogicStrikesAgain
Did you just use Marathon and MLB to prove Sony is releasing games this year? Duuuude…

@MrPeanutbutterz Spiderman 2 and GoW Ragnarok are mid games. Yet, Spiderman 1 and GoW 1 were perfect. With sequels I just felt like replaying the same again and again. Very little evolution.

Not much information. The list looks quite.. bad

Wolverine above GTA6..?!
lol

Are you kidding?
GoY above KCD2..?!
Yeah… Yōtei shouldn’t even be in top 3.
But what else to expect from biased site… I mean, in the „real GOTY” (the one that matters) Yōtei didn’t get any reward in any category.

Since many months when they announce their picks for Essential and Premium games.. disappointment follows.

Either cheap ones, or compete garbage, or old ones, or indies. Honestly, I wonder why do I pay for Plus.. because games they add definitely are not the reason.

Plus starting 2026 very poorly.

@Rich33 why do you think Yōtei has over 50% votes … on a PlayStation forum..

They are trying to place it in every possible category to give it any reward. I wait for best racing games to see Yōtei there as well.

Ninja Gaiden 4 and Elden Ring.

If RAM prices will delay PS6, they will obviously impact also PS5. Either price will increase, or they will keep the PS5 price stable taking cost for time being, but get it back with PS6 price…

RAM issues will definitely affect the future prices of consoles. No matter what, no corporation will cover extra costs if they are already now selling consoles with loss.

Biggest disappointment for me.
Compared to Tsushima of course.
Very little character development, skill development, story errors, and obvious woke.
Jin >>> Atsu

The only problem is, you count that title value by adding release prices of these games, while all of them are constantly on sales -20% up to -50%.

Apart from that it was not a bad year.
The question is was all of that worth what they ask for the service??

I don’t really care about them using AI.
It means nothing until you see the product, the game, and can judge if using AI made it worse or better or did not have any impact.

I bet most of the developers nowadays use AI, and it’s being criticized here, but wait for proofs of AI usage in any of Sony upcoming games, and we will see all of these accounts defending that and proving it did nothing wrong

Seriously. Ghost of Yōtei..?!

@PuppetMaster so was Death Stranding 1
Guess what happened year later?

I am just waiting to see best racing or sports games list to see Yotei on the podium again…

@TheArt PS Blog putting Yotei as a GOTY was both ridiculous and pathetic. It was also obvious they will do that - even if there was already GTA6, Half Life 3, Witcher 4 they would put Yotei as winner because that was biased voting.

Stripped of the award from irrelevant source that doesn’t even matter to anyone.. to me E33 is the GOTY and that’s it. There was little competition from KCD2 or DS2, but these are all sequels building on the first game’a success rather than introducing anything new and that is why E33 has won.

@graymamba everyone can have opinions, some games are just better experience than others too.
Just look past weeks and see how many people rated Yotei GOTY ONLY because it’s the only Sony game in the list, obviously biased. Death Stranding 2 is not an exclusive, it will follow first game’s path in 2026.
DS2 is great for some, others prefer Expedition, others prefer something else. It’s normal. For me Expedition 33 = DS2, same level of fun, just different genre. But I was extremely tired of Yotei, being just too similar to Tsushima felt like playing the same again and again. Sequels are ok, but too many sequels is bad.

We already know which game will be winner in here, I mean come on You laughed at biased PS Blog awards, yet you make the same lol

Everyone can have opinions and personal favorites, but sales + ratings are the best factors here. None of other games on the list got even close to its sales and it got great ratings too.

Oblivion Remaster.

@Steeleye25 not sure where you live, but here the whole Banshee S01-04 plus Warrior S01-03 are available on HBO Max. Must say, I thought Banshee was 10/10, but Warrior is 11/10. Love it.

OG God of War 1&2 from 2005-2007.
Also trying to run Chrono Trigger in emulation.

And Warrior season two on HBO.

@PuppetMaster You know very well what I meant, the fact you try to pretend you don’t understand is better than any kind of answer

@SeaDaVie
Thank you for confirming, that is what I asked, simple yes or no.
There is no need for the damage control you did there. Especially, because that was not 3-4 decals buddy, and you know it

@SeaDaVie Do you deny they did it?

@PuppetMaster compared to Sony in recent 5-6 years Nintendo has big variety in games and characters.

@PuppetMaster it’s just like asking VW blog what is the best brand of cars in 2025. Do you expect anything else than VW to win?

@SeaDaVie
Looking at your avatar. So you say, using AI in creative processes is bad, but using plagiarism is ok? I mention plagiarism in relation to Marathon, yes.

@11001100110zero
We have seen it few times already.
„Forza is bad” first, then it occupied PS too sales rankings for weeks. Still does.
Same for MFS, Indiana or Oblivion Remake.

I see people joking here and there, but when its released you will see it for weeks in top sales ranking there.

@AdamNovice
True, yet this year they got two reward, while competitor came back from GOTY with empty hands.

Was pretty nice to play, the ships, the world, the realistic physics, but I don’t like sci fi that much. Played some, was ok. But for same reason never like any Mass Effect, or any Halo.
I would prefer if they focused on ES6 instead of this.

I think their approach is quite inconsistent.

I mean, Sony is fighting so much with games like this, claiming it is too similar, but at the same time most of the games developed under PlayStation China project are so much copycats it is as much obvious.
But these are ok for them

I have no problem with overhours under two conditions: company is paying for them, and it is my decision to do overhours.

Are they paying? I doubt, like most corps they probably are not. It’s also far from being voluntary. That is why I personally am pretty disappointed in ND.

In the past, you were sure you will get lots of exclusive titles in a relatively short amount of time. Hence, the console sold very well.
Now, you get 1 exclusive a year, and most of these are sequels, lacking anything fresh and revolutionary. Don’t know about you guys but I feel incredibly tired of playing the same character, game type, the same IP over and over again.

Nintendo sells better because it has different model - you pay once and get handheld and stationary in one, with a long list of exclusive titles and most of 3rd parties coming as well.
I don’t see Sony’s handheld being a competition to Nintendo Switch, one gets dedicated games on cartridges, the other will not get dedicated games, only PS Store access to play the same library like stationary.

This will not bring attention of people who wanted Vita 2.

Yeah. No thanks

It’s always like this in nature.
You abandon the ship when you feel it will sink.

Sorry but Marathon.. with all respect, that looks like a total crap.

LOL. What a generosity. I’m literally shocked.

@guacguacboo
I would not spend that money on ANY game. The only games I paid more than $40 is Elden Ring and few rare DS/3DS games that would grow value.

I played most of Sony, Xbox and Nintendo titles, plus lots of 3rd party titles, and always wait for sales or preowned copies.
There are better ways of spending money

@PuppetMaster
Fans voted award Yeah, sure

Quite embarrassing. Their game lost in all possible categories, everywhere. So they grant it a „reward” like that.

@Michael2008ish did you play it or only watched on YouTube?

Morrowind was awesome.
Oblivion and Remake are awesome.
Skyrim is awesome.
And ES6 will be awesome but damn.. waiting so many years is just so difficult.

Still seeing some people crying about Expedition winning all the prizes, only because we know who did not win anything this year.

Crimson Desert, this looks incredibly good.
Blood of Dawnwalker, made by people that gave us Witcher 3, will be great.
Phantom Blade, but will wait for release to see the game, not the trailers.

For all else I can wait for some 30-50% sale.
No hype for Wolverine at all after what whey showed, now I know it will be Spiderman 2 in a new skin, so thanks but not paying for that.

Btw. GTA6..? Don’t think so.

@Steeleye25
I finished watching and now I understand why Banshee has so great ratings.
Started watching The Warrior series yesterday, same creators and even Job is there That one has awesome combat scenes. Although it lacks Rebecca’s scenes

@Rich33 GoY lost just like Spiderman 2 or Death Stranding 2, because it is a sequel, that did not change much, and only continued on its predecessor’s achievement.
I played GoT twice, and I think the story, characters and overall gameplay was better than simple revenge story in GoY.

Everyone can has own opinion.
GoY was never going to win. Even if there was no Expedition, it would still lost to KCD2.

@lazarus11 apparently not, because combat system is the one thing that most people criticize on all forums.
