I compare this to Apple bringing the Ipod. Everything became digital in music. Movies are heading the same direction. Now it's games. Took longer that music and movies but the day finally came and the data support this.
@Zuljaras I know it sucks for some people that still has discs but their disc will still be playable on the PS5 just not on the PS6. For the last 2 years all my purchases have been digital only but I still have physical games. I think they will sell a separate disc drive or make the current one compatible with PS6
They need a new IP that is not free to play. Probably open world game with RPG elements. I know they can pull it off. Maybe if they were independent they would be closing the studio instead of downgrading. I'm looking it up at the bright side.
I loved the old Onimusha games, so this one I'm pretty sure will be even better. So 3 games that I'll add to my collection for sure (Wolverine, Phantom Blade and Onimusha). Can't complain. GTA6 is not my cup of tea. So I'm glad I have all this great games coming up
Not for me. I'm still enjoying my PS5. I think that the videogames press and non Sony fans are the only ones that have a bad perception of the PS5. For me it has the best games
After a lot of hard work I got the platinum in Wukong. One of most enjoyable platinum trophies I ever got. Now trying to finish FF7 Rbirth and Space Marines 2
They tried to maintain exclusivity and it didn't work for them already. And obviously they are spending a lot of money so these news are on every major website to include "playstation only" sites. I think they'll try with some of their best tittles and see how it goes and stay exclusive if they are getting enough revenue. But I don't think it will work out for them.
Remember when you could buy a cellphone for $200...well I think the same is happening to videogame consoles. I can still see people buying and doing monthly payments. And the good part is a console will play new games at least 8 - 10 years so you don't have to upgrade unless you're like me and want the latest products
If the use of AI save developers money why not use it. As long as the game is great I'll buy it. The last thing we need is another great studio closing because they went bankrupt. That's my opinion. I know a lot of people are going to disagree
For me PS Premium has been very good since I bought a Portal. No complaints. I know it's not for everyone because of the price but I've been enjoying it
The Switch is a good piece of hardware but I hardly play mine. I have a big backlog of great PS5 games. No chance I'll make the switch my primary console. Will be skipping it this time
The First Berserker Khazan for me. Can't stop playing. I really like the variety of enemies and level design. I also enjoyed Split fiction. Had a lot of fun with my daughter
Great device. I'm definitely playing games now that I wouldn't have play thanks to the portal. If you are subscribed to ps plus extra or premium this is a must have. Also, need good internet. I have 1200 gigs with Xfinity and it works great
@Nepp67 I think that they meant that after a weapon is upgraded, the next time you die and you pick up that same weapon it will be already upgraded. Or maybe you can just save your weapons and pick whichever you want with all the upgrades. I don't know if this was a good explanation but I tried LOL
I had a blast getting the platinum trophy. Now give me an Ape Escape Remake done by Team Asobi and a new Jack and Daxter.. I really enjoyed that Ape Escape level... genius
Hopefully finish RISE of the Ronin and also playing GT7. Love both games. Then will start the year with FF7 Rebirth. Also played the new free level of Astrobot. It's really cool. They could have easily charge a few bucks for that but it's free. Hell yeah! Good times.
I can't wait for them to show actual gameplay for this game. It has been in development since 2020. I'm pretty sure that they won't let us down. Really exited for this
Time to get some popcorn. This is one of the few times that my wife sits with me and we watch together ❤️ anything related with videogames. So yes, I'll be watching.
Well, a cellphone cost over $1,000. Most people get a new phone every 2- 3 years. So I think the PS5 Pro price is keeping up with the market. Still a lot cheaper than a cellphone and a good gaming pc. Now Sony needs to keep releasing great games to back it up. How about a new Jack and Daxter and Ape Escape
I know it sucks for people that already bought the game before but I never played this game and will be checking it out this time on my premium subscription. It makes a lot of sense for them to do a remake but I guess they are focusing on other projects
I read an article about Japan might not be that important to Sony. Maybe they want this year to be a slow year? I don't know the answer to that but why raising the price when you are about to launch the game that appeal to Japanese gamers the most? Maybe they want the price to be a little closer to the pro. I don't know what else to think.
