This is going to be a rather niche game imo. I hope they do not make the mistake of pricing this at $70.

There has never been a bad GTA soundtrack yet.

Nah, let's hear the full story please: They were trying to monetise a TLOU2 mod. This is actually illegal.

This was not a case of "Sony bad". Sony had every right to shut this down.

Don't worry, it could always be worse: XBox have just announced that they are limiting cloud gaming to just 15 hours per month.

@AdamNovice "When its ready"
Lol. As I said, Duke Nukem Forever used that exact same excuse word for word.

If Intergalactic was being made by anyone else other than Naughty Dog it would have been branded the next Duke Nukem Forever by now.
I am desperate to know just how much money they have spent on this piece of vapourware so far.

@JustBusiness That's being saved for the PS6 version.
I'm only half joking. That's how Rockstar marketed the PS4 version of GTA5.

@lexilogo The whole point of GTA is being a criminal. If you are mechanically forced to start second guessing that goal then that is not GTA.
You would think Rockstar would not make that mistake, but we have a whole new generation of devs working in this one who may have their own opinions.

The only thing that concerns me about GTA6 is the karma system.
Remember how in Fallout 3 you could nuke a town and then give 1,000 caps to the Church to become angelic again? And as much as that might be the sort of cutting satire GTA is known for, it is hardly a good game mechanic.

@tameshiyaku She looks incredibly smug in that picture. I don't know if she will be or not because we know nothing at all whatsoever about this game.
I'm just saying: In that picture, she looks smug.

@For-Kier I would be very interested to know what the final cost of
a game that has taken this long will end up being. Keep your eyes open for job losses if it under-performs.
Rockstar could spend years developing GTA6 because GTA5 never stopped making money. But surely the ''The Last of Us'' money pot must be slowly emptying by now even with all of the re-releases.

God damn this is taking too long. Hard to get excited for something that has yet to show us even a scrap of gameplay.

I couldn't care less about the leaks tbh. Rockstar will still make more money than God for the next fifteen years.
And at the end of the day, don't want to be spoiled? Don't watch the spoiler videos. It really is that simple.

@AdamNovice ''Anything to dump on PlayStation, I guess.''
Do you honestly think that Sammy of all people is trying to dump on PlayStation here? He is reminding people of the facts.

The difference with Steam is that you can download a game to an external hard drive and play it offline. Along with cost, this is why the PS6 is in massive trouble.
It will soon be cheaper and more future proofed to buy a gaming PC than a console.

@Oram77 The difference is that MGS3's cutscenes tended to either be action packed or Eva packed.
They weren't fifteen minutes of driving the MK2 around whilst talking about eggs.

@Gremio108 Time for my controversial opinion: I'm glad that Kojima left the franchise. He was growing stale.
This franchise needs new blood.

@Oram77 I fail to see how a game can be considered a masterpiece when you yourself just admitted there is no game to be found here ("mostly watch").

This gameplay still looks like GTA5 to me.

Most people are "all digital" these days. This is not an opinion, it is a fact based on sales figures.

Hollywood is a grinder that uses the young and then spits them out when they are no longer needed without counselling or assistance. Poor dear had a horrible life away from the camera. Abuse, addiction and depression. She only recently found solace thanks to having a daughter.

I for one will not cry when AI replaces Hollywood. Their reckoning has been a long time coming.

What's the point? Worried that they'll run out of digital copies?

@For-Kier Yep. Nail on the head. Youtube will probably take down every rip of it though. You'll need to go somewhere like Kick.

My prediction: It'll play like a GTA5 add-on pack.
Bigger, clearer, a few more features... but uncompromisingly built on a familiar foundation.

@Oram77 When I was growing up we had the Official PlayStation Magazine demo discs.
No trailer alone has ever convinced me to buy a game. But you can bet that I bought Tekken 3 after playing the demo to death.

What has this got to do with PlayStation? I do not come here for film news.

"The second season of the HBO show isn't as highly regarded as the first."

Lol, that's a tactful way to put it!

I mean, how many people were actually desperate to play this? Halo was popular once but it really has fallen off into mediocrity in recent years. And I suspect that anyone who had a pressing desire to play it probably already has.

No! Clair Obscur proved that people do not need ridiculously bloated budgets and 500 hours of gameplay. This silly attitude is one of the reasons the industry is bleeding money.
Just make a fun, old school RPG. Probably with a cartoon-y style to make it more in line with the original.

Has any game ever been improved by shoehorning in preachy identity politics where previously there were none? Genuine question. I'm just trying to work out why they keep on doing it.

A whole new generation of Metal Gear Solid 3 fans can now get pissed off at the fates of their favourite characters.
Oh, and make yourself a nice cup of tea and a sandwich before sitting down. MGS4 is at least 50% cutscene. In a series famous for forcing you to put the controller down for long periods, this one is where things got stupid.

@ButteredCrumpet "I find all this “it’s not a man so I can’t relate and enjoy it” attitudes very strange."

Isn't it interesting though how gender and race swaps in our media tend to use representation as an argument? It is almost as if it is only a problem when men or white people say that they prefer to play as male or white characters...

@MrPeanutbutterz Yes and no. Whilst the overall market is 50:50, what men and women play is markedly different. Men are more likely to play sports and action heavy games whereas women are more likely to play puzzle games and simulations.
In other words, more men than women are likely to play God of War.

@JimmyRiddle Sorry for the 5 year old reply. But I just wanted to say that absolutely nothing has changed. GTA5 Online is perhaps one of the most unsatisfying and annoying gaming experiences that I have ever had.

The disc production factories are closing down, its people already redeployed and retrained.
Its done, people.

@shikadi That literally makes no sense.

@ThePlaystationStan "Naoto is 100% transmac non binary."
It sounds to me like you are writing your own story tbh.

I've been laid off before. It effing sucks.
But a fake memorial service to mark my redundancy? That seems like a sketch from The Simpsons.

The death knell of any franchise in 2026: "remade for the modern audience".

I enjoyed Cyberpunk once it was fixed. But it very much has been diminishing returns for me. This universe does not have much depth imo.

@Fluberuper I never said that all of those people are watching the world cup. I am saying that they are reading the news and laughing.

@Fluberuper Do you have any idea just how unpopular Trump and by extension the USA currently is in the world? 95% is a bloody good estimate as far as I can tell. Everyone outside of the USA who cares about fair play and honesty was Belgian the other night.
We make no apologies for our schadenfreude.

@TheDarts Maybe because there is precious little to celebrate right now? Let people enjoy themselves, Scrooge.

@Jacko11 The irony is, these Boomer games are most likely going to be played by Boomers. As in, people less likely to be always online tech-savvy kids who want a digital future.

@Damage99 Yes... but also ridiculous levels of unsustainable overspend even for Microsoft.
These studios were never worth the billions that they spent on them.

@MidnightDragonDX That's just it though. It is hard to find an exact figure but half to two thirds of people laid off from gaming devs in the past couple of years never found work in the industry again.
The jobs simply do not exist.

Lay offs everywhere, physical media dead, $1,000 consoles, the same ten games on the bestseller list every month.

Gaming is totally fine, guys. Real healthy. Not crashing at all.

Lol. I wonder how many of these trend chasers have actually bought a physical game this year.

Breaking news: "Audience complains about audience led change."

You and I made physical media unprofitable. It is easy to blame Sony for making a business decision instead of yourselves.
Use it or lose it. That is how capitalism works.
