@ThroughTheIris56 Yes, were definitely on the same page on that. And i get you, there’s always subjective opinion. Personally, i’m glad their next game is different, because i’m a bit burned out, not on the series per se, but these intense games in general. But i still recognize their excellence in making games. So i dont mind a sequel to TLOU coming eventually. But for now i’m excited to see what they’ll bring with Intergalatic
This is what i was talking about, and why i think Sony should acquire some publishers and IP of themselves. Before everything gets acquired by companies or governments that are way richer than Sony
And there's more to it than just gameplay = good, story = disappointing.
I get what you’re saying. But we all know this is purely story related, there really are no other notable gripes with this game. Some of it is even politically related.
Besides great storytelling (yes!) there’s great intense gameplay, intelligent AI, great animations and an extreme level of graphical fidelity and technical polish that makes this game world class.
Yes, there’s subjectivity in regards to narrative decisions. But to say it completely sucks is just a weird take.
For example, people can warn newcomers to not watch The Godfather because they didnt like it, fair enough, but i will also be saying that they should not listen to them as it is still a prime example of great filmmaking.
I get what you’re saying though, and as ive said before, fair enough, he can warn newcomers. But it’s also fair that i can react to his warning, by countering his claims that this game shouldn’t be played
Of course it is, it's also subjective to say it was a good game or a masterpiece.
Sure, but I dont think the quality of the gameplay is really up for debate. Most agree that the gameplay is very good. It’s mostly the story that people are divided on.
but it's fair to warn them that the game has a mixed reception for many reasons.
The mixed reception was really solely due to narrative decisions.
But fair enough, you can warn people, however I dont’t think he’s only warning though. He’s explicitly saying newcomers should not play it. And that’s a bit too much i think. So its only fair to balance that out a bit by saying it is still a great game, even if the story can be dividing.
@ThroughTheIris56 Not delivering is kind of subjective though, right? Its better to let people decide for themselves in stead of telling them they shouldnt play it. But that’s just my opinion.
Way better description though, damn i totally blanked on that one. Third person survival horror shooter, thats exactly what it is
@FatalBubbles You’re right, that actually does sound a bit inaccurate. Maybe “cinematic third person action adventure shooter” or something might be better description? I’m not exactly sure what label to give it.
But while it may not be the best when it comes to pure shooting mechanics per se, i do think it’s gameplay overall is definitely up there with some of the best in that genre. It’s combination of fluid melee, stealth and shooting mechanics combined with responsive AI makes for some incredible gameplay encounters.
Even if someone didnt like story, it’s hard to deny that the gameplay is very solid.
There’s a reason its one of the highest rated games of last gen.
And i can understand that not everyone like the story. But discouraging other people to play the game because they didnt like the story is a bit much, at least in my opinion
@Dogbreath The Last of Us 2 has won multiple GOTY awards, is critically acclaimed, and is regarded as one of the greatest third person shooters of all time.
I thought the phrase was “Gameplay is king”, and TLOU2 definitely delivers in that regard.
But seeing how some people reacted to this sequel, you would think “Story is king” instead.
It’s ok if you didn’t like where the story went, and it might not be for everyone, but to dismiss the whole game? The gameplay alone is worth experiencing.
How about we just let newcomers decide for themselves if they want to try the sequel? 😉
@DennisReynolds @GuttyYZ Thats also true, however those teams were probably not completely the same.
We just aren’t entitled to get multiple games from studios in a generation anymore. If a normal development timeline is 5-6 years today, then Naughty Dog will also need that amount of time, and maybe even more considering the level of detail they create in their worlds.
However i’ve seen people complaining as early as ‘22-‘23 about their output, which of course has already become a meme today. But i think this studio is treated unfairly in that regard.
Unfortunately games just take way longer to develop. I say just let them cook
In before all the inevitable comments about Naughty Dog’s low output this gen. While i get the frustration, we should look at the context.
I just want to point out that Ghost of Tsushima released more than 5 years ago, and the sequel releases only now, which is a normal development timeline for AAA games nowadays.
But we have to keep in mind that Naughty Dog is creating a whole new IP, which takes way more time than a sequel. Especially with the graphical fidelity and highly detailed worlds Naughty Dog is known for
@Rich33 I completely agree with your post! From the State of Play format to the lack of sharing info on technical specs on games, especially when they’re as good as in Ghost of Yotei.
I’m with you in thinking that Sony sometimes just doesn’t have a clue how to properly market their products
Honestly, from the first time i saw the game i thought it was cool, and i still do. The ambition of the game is immense, but i do have a problem with these “inspirations”.
Some animations are just 1:1 copies from other games. Wouldnt really call that inspired by anymore, those are just straight up copied. And that doesn’t really sit well with me
The game looks beautiful. I dont understand why they didnt advertise thay they implemented Ray traced global illumination. And at 60fps, thats wild! But that is a pleasant surprise.
Im seeing all glowing reviews. With many describing the improvements over the last game. And many of the open world complaints have been adressed. On top of that a very impressive Pro implementation. All in all, i’m very excited for this game, can’t wait to play it!
To be fair, no one has done Spider man like Insomniac. They should really get credit for nailing things like the swinging mechanics which has never been done as perfectly satisfying in a game before.
Same goes for Wolverine, even though there’s been many interpretations, none of them seem to have nailed his character yet, and Insomniac is set to show the definitive take on this character as well.
But tbf to you, i can totally understand if you’re tired of Marvel or just don’t like it, thats all good
I really dont get people. I thought people wanted more indie/AA games. Here we have games like Zero Parades by the devs of the highly acclaimed Disco Elysium and a very unique and creative indie like Chronoscript. Both seemingly Playstation (console) exclusives. We have big AAA titles with release dates or windows like Saros and Wolverine. I mean i’d say Playstation gamers are eating pretty good
@PuppetMaster As far as i can find it’s coming to PS5 and PC only.
The same goes for a bunch of other games like Zero Parades, Let it Die: Inferno, The Last Epoch, Dynasty Warriors 3 Remake and even the Deus Ex Remaster. But this might just be part of a marketing deal. Maybe these games will release on all platforms.
Although Pure Xbox just did their usual roundup of games shown on the State of Play that are also coming to Xbox. And most of these games arent there.
You mean Comic Zone for the Sega Megadrive? Yeah you’re right. Damn, that brings back memories
Hahaha what a world we live in nowadays when calling out bias is a negative thing to do
Look, i’m not saying we should reason with bias, we all have different biases, thats fine. But im not talking about that. I’m talking more about the nature of fandoms.
This is a Playstation fan site, right? So it’s normal to lean in to that, and that includes talking about exclusives, which Playstation is known for.
And moaning about people calling out bias?
I’m not moaning, i was just making a point. The people coming here and complaining about bias from a Playstation site are the ones that seem to be moaning.
Imagine going to a Mercedes car meetup and telling everyone they need to play nice with BMW. That would be odd, right. The whole point of the community is to celebrate the Mercedes brand , because they’re fans of it. Maybe a bit of weird comparison, but i think you get the point.
Every other console has exclusives, why not talk about Playstation exclusives in the same way. I think thats a reasonable ask for a fan site.
There's no need to mention a game as exclusive when all the other games have been exclusive 🤷
It's like asking if they dropped another Astro bot asking if it's exclusive!
And i don’t think this a good comparison at all. Astro Bot is from a first party studio, so it’s expected tto be exclusive. But Nioh is a third party game. Games can go from being exclusive to multiplat. Just because a thid party game was exclusive doesn’t mean it will always be
Is this a Playstation console exclusive? I thought it was. But I wonder why Sony is so quiet about it if it is? Also no mention of it from this site? Or maybe it just isn’t an exclusive.
If it is, then i wonder why this site doesn’t tend to acknowledge or emphasize titles being exclusive for Playstation. Pure Xbox would be all over that. The most niche title would be broadcasted to be exclusive, they’d even mention it in the article title lol.
You guys dont seem to mention games being exclusive at all. Im wondering if all this bias shaming from some users here is getting to you guys.
Honestly, i’m interested in Sony’s live service like Marvel Tokon, Horizon and even Marathon.
But i think with Fairgames they should just cut their losses. Or at least show the world the build they’ve got so far, and if no one reacts positively to it, just cancel the whole thing.
I know this is off topic, but Fairgames has been mentioned twice already, so just wanted to share my opinion 😆
From the start it already piqued my interest, i liked the weird and absurd feel. And from this review, it looks to be a fun and quirky game. Might give it a shot
@Oram77 I agree, and i would love to see improvements in gameplay as well.
Like more realistic AI and behaviour for characters and NPC’s, more interactive, destructible and lively worlds. New and fresh gameplay innovations.
But besides that, i actually like seeing these improvements on graphical fidelity. It’s the reason why i like to follow GPU cards and graphics engine technology. Even if the improvements are incremental, i like seeing the progress we’re making in things like path tracing which brings us even more closer to lifelike realism in games
I mean this basically already looks photorealistic. Not gonna get much better than this. If this will be the standard for PS6, that would be exciting. Kojima Productions really excel in facial fidelity in their games.
I feel like all the usual “diminishing return comments” are a bit redundant at this point. Of course the improvements aren’t going to be as huge as past generations, thats because we are already approaching lifelike photorealism in many aspects of graphic design.
The huge jump from PS1 to PS2 was because there was sonmuch room for improvement. I mean have you seen how PS1 looked? That was nowhere near the realism we have to day
The only pc players that complain about optimizations are those that don’t upgrade all the necessary parts and think that there ps4 era PC can still hang. my 2021 prebuilt PC still going strong & have had zero problems
Many games are just poorly optimized, even on higher end pc rigs.
Sure, if you bought a PC in 2021 with high end GPU and CPU, you could argue that it still runs games today with better fidelity and framerate than a base PS5.
But then i’d guess, you also paid way more for it than $399, which is what the PS5 Digital cost in 2021
As for what i would like to see besides the Saros gameplay:
Wolverine
God of War 2.5D
Marvel Tokon
That alone would already make it an A+ State of Play for me. And i know its just 35 mins long, and gonna be filled with third party. But if they add a gameplay reveal of Intergalactic or a teaser of what Santa Monica is working on.
I can be excited for State of Plays and still be unaffected if they end up dissapointing. Not sure why that’s so hard for some people. Maybe just… not get too emotionally invested?
For the people that struggle with it, yeah its probably best to keep expectations in check.
And for the ones who can manage being hyped without having a breakdown if it doesnt meet your expectations, im with you guys! 😄
@nomither6 Sure the grass might look greener, but it’s also more expensive, with less notable Day 1 exclusives. GTA6, anyone? Heck, i don’t want to wait several years for big titles to come to PC.
If PC is so great, why do i constantly see so many complaints about poor optimization on PC? Heck, Battaglia from DF gets more frustrated about the state of PC gaming with every PC tech review he does.
Games usually run better when they are optimized for a fixed platform, where devs can really optimize for the hardware. Unlike on PC where they need to cater to millions of different hardware configurations, increasing the risk of all sorts of bugs etc.
Personally i like the plug and play nature of consoles, i dont want to have to tweak settings, update drivers or troubleshoot whenever games won’t work properly.
Also it’s funny how people complain about consoles going digital, when PC doesnt even offer physical games or the option to resell them.
And lets not forget, PC needs upgrading every few years too, just like console generations. Have you seen the prices on just GPU cards alone lately? Even mid range ones costing more than a whole console 😅
Most games are fully optimized for the Pro though. Sony just needs to work together more closely with some of these few developers to support the Pro versions of their games better.
Personally, i like the option of having multiple models to choose from. Just like there’s an Iphone Pro option for people who want and can afford it.
That’s why i dont get how these articles always seem to attract people dunking on the existince of the Pro version. How about we just let people choose slightly better hardware for a slightly higher price if they want?
Heck, the whole PC gaming scene is built on spending more for incremental gains in fps or graphical fidelity. Why is it suddenly a problem on consoles?
Never thought a poster could hype me up so much! Even if its still a while away, im excited already. Kojima productions is really cookin with all these games, i love it
I love Kojima’s creativity, and their games always excel in the graphical department. Curious to see if this’ll be coming to PS as well, since it was meant to be an Xbox exclusive originally i believe. But with the phrasing they used, “for all players”, i’d guess it probably is
@GeeEssEff Haha seriously, i had the same thing, for a while i thought NTE was this game, and i thought i must have just imagined the spiderman traversal mechanics or something 😅
I remember seeing this game a few years ago, and i thought it looked cool.
After that i tried looking it up a bunch of time, but i forgot the title, so i could never find it. Only thing i knew was that it had spiderman mechanics. Never thought i’d see it again.
I’m not usually into these free to play games, but yeah this does look cool!
The more we see now, the less likely it’ll show up in the rumoured SoP. Which is good, makes room for more games. Still looks great btw, excited to see what this game has in store for us
Pretty good, didnt expect that tbh. And while it looks good, i still think they could've spent a couple of million extra just to improve some of those textures ☺️

And lets not forget, PC needs upgrading every few years too, just like console generations. Have you seen the prices on just GPU cards alone lately? Even mid range ones costing more than a whole console 😅
Re: PS5 Pro Users Starting to Feel a Little Shortchanged After Poor or Absent Support
Most games are fully optimized for the Pro though. Sony just needs to work together more closely with some of these few developers to support the Pro versions of their games better.
Personally, i like the option of having multiple models to choose from. Just like there’s an Iphone Pro option for people who want and can afford it.
That’s why i dont get how these articles always seem to attract people dunking on the existince of the Pro version. How about we just let people choose slightly better hardware for a slightly higher price if they want?
Heck, the whole PC gaming scene is built on spending more for incremental gains in fps or graphical fidelity. Why is it suddenly a problem on consoles?
Re: Sony Remembers PS4 Classic The Last Guardian, Supported Work on $1,500 Statue
The statue does look nice. Good composition and very intricate details.
Nice get for a rich person… or someone making bad financial decisions. Just kidding, people should spend on whatever brings joy.
Honestly, i wish Playstation made more games like these again
Re: Random: Would You Trust Hideo Kojima with Your Credit Card Details?
Only if it has an image of Kojima in a twerking position on the card (good luck getting that image out of your head now)
Re: Here's Your First Look at PlayStation's Next Big Thing, Hideo Kojima's PHYSINT
Never thought a poster could hype me up so much! Even if its still a while away, im excited already. Kojima productions is really cookin with all these games, i love it
Re: Hideo Kojima's Next Game OD Looks Like PT Fully Realised
I love Kojima’s creativity, and their games always excel in the graphical department. Curious to see if this’ll be coming to PS as well, since it was meant to be an Xbox exclusive originally i believe. But with the phrasing they used, “for all players”, i’d guess it probably is
Re: This Unreal GTA-Inspired Anime Open World Lifts Influences from Spider-Man, Power Slap, and More
@GeeEssEff Haha seriously, i had the same thing, for a while i thought NTE was this game, and i thought i must have just imagined the spiderman traversal mechanics or something 😅
Re: This Unreal GTA-Inspired Anime Open World Lifts Influences from Spider-Man, Power Slap, and More
I remember seeing this game a few years ago, and i thought it looked cool.
After that i tried looking it up a bunch of time, but i forgot the title, so i could never find it. Only thing i knew was that it had spiderman mechanics. Never thought i’d see it again.
I’m not usually into these free to play games, but yeah this does look cool!
Re: Ghost of Yotei Gets Yet Another Trailer, This Time Showcasing PS5 Features
The more we see now, the less likely it’ll show up in the rumoured SoP. Which is good, makes room for more games. Still looks great btw, excited to see what this game has in store for us
Re: Ghost of Yotei's Very Reasonable Dev Budget on Par with Predecessor
Pretty good, didnt expect that tbh. And while it looks good, i still think they could've spent a couple of million extra just to improve some of those textures ☺️
Re: Even More Xbox Price Increases Make PS5 Look Like a Good Deal
Funny how when Sony does these types of things they are “anti consumer” “greedy f*cks” and “disgusting”.
But when other companies do it, consensus seems to have totally shifted to solely blaming Trump and tariffs (rightfully so btw)
To be clear i dont really want anyone saying those comments, just pointing out the inconsistency ✌🏼🫶🏼
Re: Latest Ghost of Yotei Trailer Is a Quick Hit Before PS5 Launch
Looks great! Can’t wait to read the review. When does the embargo end?
Wonder if this’ll be the last trailer or if it will still make an appearance at the State of Play
Re: PS5's New Power Saver Feature Confirms Its First Supported Games
This is probably done for the upcoming handheld, as stated in the article. The complaining here, ugh…
