@cuttlefishjones Yes, the publishers could do it. And I think many of them won’t.

I think many publishers won’t order PS5 Pro patches and will instead stick to higher resolutions thanks to existing DRS systems, as it is with Cyberpunk. The PS5 Pro adoption rate could be too small, and it doesn’t offer the significant step from 1080p to 4k we saw with PS4 Pro.

@Oram77 A game for everyone sounds very serviceable, but not the sense of wonder and excitement you wish from such an event.

And that’s mainly due to bad stuff: If the show would have consisted of the top 30 minutes, the overall reception would be much higher.

I‘m playing Death Stranding 2, and that’s all I can say about that.

Sweetheart, that was the last time I did that. I‘m so sorry, that will never ever happen again I promise!

This comment section quickly turned into a battlefield. Typical for a Friday afternoon.

Without the Xbox Series X and its Game Pass, the initial price of the base PS5 would have been more than 600 USD, and there wouldn’t have been the PS Plus Collection.

Sony cannot wait to see Microsoft leaving the console business!

Finally: Sony allows Game Trials without subscribing to PS Plus Premium.

What Brandon Adler is doing here is highly unprofessional. You don’t blame your parent company in public interviews. As Matt Booty, I would fire him immediately. And I know that many here in the comments will dislike this comment.

@ButterySmooth30FPS Yes, these patches will most likely make a boring game an interesting one.

@ATaco Coming to PS Plus Essential is inevitable.

@Eduard_Brenton A black eye would be okay, but this is a catastrophe. More like a MindsOut.

Xbox Series X/S is performing abysmally, and at the same time Microsoft is saving this generation.

@ChrisDeku I think that OldGamer999 is totally right. I‘m looking forward to playing Indiana Jones.

This is a tragedy for the staff. Bend seems to be a bit remote, with not many other job opportunities for game software developers. If such layoffs happen in Montreal, there are plenty of alternatives, but Bend is not Montreal.

It’s a self-regulating market: The publishers‘ goal is to maximise the revenue. If the price point is too high, the total revenue will be lower.

Many publishers don’t seem to know WHAT we want to play. But they seem to know HOW MUCH we are willing to pay.

The tragical joke of 2025?

When you like an Xbox showcase much more than a State of Play, are you an Xbox fan? Asking for a friend.

My highlight of the show.

„A new boobtastic game is here“

There were a few interesting announcements, but they are almost buried by other stuff. If you would combine your personal top 5 trailers into one video, then it’s great!

But ai first have to find out what my top 5 are (will include RE9).

@LiamCroft I find it irritating to see the pronoun „they“ for somebody with the user account „MrHazel88“.

@Northern_munkey It’s about this phenomenon:

https://youtu.be/z2smFwG3Xkc?si=sPh35-5vCNw9t-iB

There are claims on Reddit that this problem were finally solved.

Which games will be PS5 console exclusive? Only GoY and the Marvel game (and Thief on PSVR2)? And all the other games are multiplat?

There are rumours that the VRR problems are solved with this update!

@Jrs1 I‘m glad that there are no stability improvements. That means there don’t seem to be imminent bugs and security concerns right now.

@Propaperpusher You blame a third-party publisher because you believed a (marketing) claim from Sony?

This is the way probably 90% of all games will habdle the PS5 Pro, just letting the DRS doing its job. And who would blame the devs? PSSR seems to be quite exotic in its current iteration and not easy to use.

Maybe one day PSSR gets replaced by FSR 4, which will certainly increase the adoption rate.

Marketing has always been the weakest part of CD Projekt.

Fairgames could poison the whole show, so we probably won’t see it.

@Nepp67 But the controller usage PROOFS that this was running in realtime on a PS5…

I know that people are nostalgic about good ol‘ E3, but these fake shows are thankfully a thing of the past.

@FantasyExplor3r88 I agree, this looks incredible, in the very meaning of the word.

A PSVR2 remaster of Astro But Rescue Mission would make me a happy man.

And also the original stream shows 30 fps gameplay (with some stutters) , no sign of 60 fps.

I don’t think that CDPR didn’t say the truth. Maybe the current build indeed runs with 60 fps and ray tracing on PS5. But what they showed here was

1) not the latest build and/or
2) intentionally set to 30 fps, to provide a more consistent impression or a more pristine image quality.

The video that I saw is 60 Hz, but it shows 30 fps gameplay with heavy motion blur:

I‘m surprised by the high percentage for AitD. Many reviews were negative, and even PushSquare gave only a 6/10.

And he was still right.

Finally this game creates some meaningful revenue.

This game and its developers become more and more unsympathetic

He is wrong. Nobody asked me for my banking account.

I‘d love to see a shorter, more curated list. Without games which received multiple heavy discounts for several years. Without games which were a monthly game in PS Plus Essential. Without games with only 20% or less discount. Without games which only got a 7/10 from PushSquare.

This Jack gets out of the car, several people firing on him with rifles, and he is totally relaxed. Just a few red circles indicating that he is hit by military firearms.

Compare this with the reactions in The Last of Us, and you know why it feels so early PS3.

@MrPeanutbutterz Checked it before with Google and found no such bundle. Almost unbelievable! The door opener obviously was the „Super Mario“.

Imagine a Nintendo Switch Minecraft bundle. Nintendo would never agree to that.

Will Elon accept the challenge? As a team player, with some support…

The business model of live service games:

Make a lot of good games, and a few will stick with the audience, while most games will fail.

Sony already fails with the first step: good games

SIE earns its money with third-party revenue via PSN, no first-party games needed from SIEs perspective.

„All 7/10 or better games in the current Wednesday sale“ incoming

Nobody mentions here that MindsEye is designed to be a metaverse from the first day. With this technical basis though, I doubt to be a huge success. Better is the enemy of good, and better means here GTA Online.

After playing Cyberpunk 2077, how could I go back to dialogues like that in the first video? It’s stereotypical BS talk. Why didn’t the actors tell this to the screenwriters?
