I've edited and comment above for clarification. I'm not saying PS5 has no games fyi

@LowDefAl
>This is not like the old days of custom hardware that used wildly different architectures and required different ways of using and took years to learn how to use.

Then isn't that a problem of current gens? PS3 had a natural curve of games looking better and better. Besides, there's definitely more going on that is definitely a lack of current gen hardware when every PS3 game had some sort of impressive physics.
Why hasn't the GTA IV physics been replicated or even improved upon?
Hell nothing comes even close.

So you're telling me all these shallow features of today's gaming like ray tracing, focus on framerates, graphics, particles, whatever. All of them are turned up to 11 and they can't handle a bit of physics?? And even without the physics the hardware is running at almost max capacity!? That's just sad.

Wouldn't that then be something inherently wrong with the hardware then? I'd say that's a MAJOR problem. Inexcusable even.

Have you seen the Ubisoft AAAA "physics"? How in gods name is that even possible to be that bad in 2024. Literally all of Ubisoft games have that problem this year. It's pathetic and no Pro is gonna fix that lol

What a bunch of fuss over nothing. Hardware that nobody needs and its games can't even manage to squeeze all the juice out of the base system.
Now we're left poking at this new machine to magically make our beloved older games a bit better.

Just like how the PS5 pro showcase showed mostly PS4 games... Because the PS5 literally has nothing impressive to show. What a sad joke allround. Unbelievable lmao

Edit: I'm not saying PS5 has no games. The PS4/3 still have the most impressive games with TLOU2, RDR2 and the sheer amounts of physics in GTA IV alone are more impressive than anything this gen.
I'm more impressed with that than the high speed world loading of the current gen (physicsless, shallow, very surface level) Spider-Man 2.

That's all it improved on SM1. Faster travel/ loading. Besides that there's nothing that impressive over its previous gen counterpart

@LikelySatan
Lmao that's brutal. Yeah it's depressing. A game that talks down on you as if you're not only a kid, but a stupid kid at that. All the while hiding behind some cultist ideology that no reasonable human being cares about (because normal people already are reasonable and accepting of eachother).

A game that only the access media "likes". Very sad

@tangyzesty
Maybe it's because of the bad reviews? Or the forced political garbage? Or the shady practices by EA to exclude review copies to people who were critical?
Jeez what a mystery

The world is healing

I find dialogue presentation to be very important. Something Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk excel in and Horizon/ Bathesda games absolutely suck in.

This looks to be even better than the CDPR games, but we'll see

Poor multiplayer maps is the reason I stopped playing COD after BO2. Every map became a tiny crappy Nuketown clone.

That alone should knock off like 3 points off the score. What's the point if the maps suck? If the maps suck, the game sucks. Period

@hi_drnick
Lmao, sorry. I can agree with being critical, but I wouldn't say pessimistic.
I've played the game and liked it, but not worth a second play through for me

Modern classic is a bit far fetched. If the game wasn't so dull I'd play it again, but not going through that again lol

Kotaku!? Lmfao...
Credible sources say more than $400 million. I'd trust Colin Moriarty more than whatever kinda clowns run Kotaku.
Kotaku is very good at downplaying whatever suits them best

Alright lads, finally something we can all agree on!

Also, the Joker edit is gold

@DennisReynolds
>Games flop in every gen

I knew this would be thrown at me lol. No. Games don't "just flop every gen". Not to this extent. You're being in denial with this. Ubisoft is going bankrupt for crying out loud! They're in DEEP 💩

>Black Myth is only a success because of China and honestly the hype for Black Myth is pretty much dead now

No, China wasn't the reason. Most people don't care where a game is from. The major reaction was that players were hyped for a game that actually focused on FUN. Something that games don't do anymore. They focus on nickel and diming consumers.
The consensus was WAY higher than the silly 7/10 you pulled out of nowhere.

>Concord flopped yeah but Helldivers 2 was a big success so 50/50

Have you lost the plot!? Concord failure was ASTRONOMICAL. 400 MILLION BUDDY. I'm done lmao.

Again, you're denying all of this stuff. As if it's the regular everyday stuff and just whistling along.

@somnambulance
Yeah Flower is a good example. Also what an absolute masterpiece Journey was... Never in a million years do I expect something like that anymore releasing today. I swear, that to me is just pure art.

Something's missing for a while now and it's felt throughout the world. I don't understand how people are still in denial

@kungfumongoose
I did say that, but tbh it's kinda more that Activision THINKS people have short attention spans. Not really the case when you look at Apex or PUBG where you have a lot of downtime. You can't build suspense without downtime and people are thirsty for it. Activision isn't giving it and since IW is now Respawn Entertainment pretty much, I'm expecting the next best COD type game to come from them lol

@DennisReynolds
You can take it how you want. There is some negative consensus going on though. If I were Sony I'd listen.
You're seeing how games are flopping left and right. Exactly the type of games people are tired of. You really think the whole world is PQ and Reddit? Reddit is a cesspool btw. It's not the cause for all these flops. No boycott is gonna do that.

People ARE tired of bad games though this gen and we're seeing some crazy consumer power. They can't keep getting away with it anymore and it shows. Nobody's buying their crap anymore and you have successes like Wukong that clearly show what people are actually thirsty for.

If you're denying all of that, then... Yeah. It's not something we've seen in previous generations. Clearly something's going on eh?

@C25CLOUD
Christ almighty. Get off reddit buddy.
You know damn well these people release garbage and hide from criticism behind all these accusations. It's always the same story.

Disney does it, Sony, MS, Ubisoft. They all do it. They refuse criticism and call their whole fanbase all kinds of vile names when their stupid little crappy product doesn't sell instead of ever taking responsibility

@DennisReynolds
Who cares when so many players are so dissatisfied with gaming nowadays? People will think twice before buying a PS6 or just look elsewhere. They're too complacent. The whole industry is.
There are countless problems this generation and countless of aspects in gaming today that were done WAY BETTER in the PS3 generation for instance.

PS6 is gonna be the first PS I'll be waiting. It's gonna need some absolute banger games to convince me and many others. It's such a lame gen. Who cares if it's selling. Ubisoft thought they were gonna keep selling their mediocre crap no matter what as well. Look at the fools now

@riceNpea
Buddy I'm here since PS1 as a huge fan.
It's definitely been going downhill since the PS4. They're flying way too close to the sun with some of the crap they're pulling, but still, it's an exaggeration. They're too big to fail and can course correct obviously

Assuming Sony is gonna be around for another 24 years with the way they're going down hill now is very optimistic lmao

Game studios seriously need to start owning up to their mediocre writing, game design and vision....
Instead of seeing EVERY SINGLE THING as goddamn hate speech. Absolute lunatics.
I'm tired of seeing fans being called all kinds of -isms and -phobes.

That's too bad. The maps absolutely suck. I used to be a huge fan, but ever since Activision decided every COD needs to be a Nuketown clone for the goldfish attention span players, COD started sucking hard. I quit this series for that and It's still a huge problem apparently.

But yeah, COD selling isn't anything new. People are thirsty for a good shooter and sadly COD can't deliver properly anymore, because anything else is a looter shooter/ live service/ colorful clown hero shooter/ whatever

@ShogunRok
I stand corrected, edited.

I like my quirky cutesie games with fun art styles, but this... Girls can have this one

@GemDog669
The only thing preventing me from getting the PSVR2.

@CousinRoman
He's a turd. It's just that Jimbo was that much worse that people are suddenly listening to the nonsense he's spewing.

I'd feel incredibly disheartened if I heard this absolutely buffoon talk to me and my ex coworkers like that. Snipping a bonsai tree to see IF we grow back again?

That is some disconnected, inhumane garbage he's letting out of his dumpster truck of a mouth.

@PuppetMaster
If Team ICO goes, I will burn all my Playstations and throw them out the window

So this thing is useless now? It already was a chore to navigate through the rewards/ challenges, but now...
I'll just never start this crap up anymore then. What a waste.

This is one of the many anti consumer practises Sony's been doing since late PS4.
They're complacent. Flying too close to the sun. They're gonna burn and nobody's gonna care.

This is just a course that'll correct itself eventually. Sony's gone full 😺 and the whole industry is releasing these absolute toothless games. Horizon is fun, but it's so lame in terms of characters, world, grit.

People are already tired of these toothless games and Sony will come crawling back to Killzone when they can't make money on their clown games anymore

@AndyKazama
Lmao realistic*
It's true though, streamers have admitted that they don't like some game when it's caught them at a bad time (gazillionth game of the week) or when it doesn't attract enough viewers.

@Fritz167
Never gonna happen. They had already fixed this problem with PS2.

The problem's back, because you'll be back in the store, buying another controller. Welcome to clown world 🤡

@AndyKazama
I'd hate everything too if I had to play every single release out there as my job. Especially when it doesn't attract much views.
Having to read stupid comments from a live feed and commentating over it ruins the experience of a horror game I think

Too many sidescrollers. I loved Origins and Legends, but still.
Ubisoft is always so behind in trends. I bet they saw the Astrobot succes and were like
"Hey! We have our own mascot, we can make that, but way worse!"

I'm sure it's gonna be a 3D platformer. They always try so hard, but they're so lame it's pathetic.

Wow what the hell is this!? This looks incredible.
Love it when amazing games (well lets hope its amazing) suddenly pop up and their release is around the corner

Man this is SUCH a game that the world needs right now lmao
I can't wait. Just relax and get lost in a goofy fantasy

@TrannosaurusBex
You can call it whatever you want, but at the end of the day we all know what's happening, eh? Otherwise you could've come up with a counter argument, but you can't, because everything is flipping left and right and we all know why.
You can't say it though, cause the redditors will be out in droves

@Vaako007
I know man and you're totally right. It's far far worse I might say. It's just too controversial, so I'll refrain from it, but it's a full on clown show.
I miss the PS3 gritty days. I miss that whole era and everything before it.

This nonsense has infected everything. It has gone too far. People are tired of it and they're rising against though. The world is healing. It's gonna be okay!

No kidding.
They've gone soft. I don't see them doing anything as gritty as Killzone 2 anymore. Ever.
I like Horizon, but it's just so clean and squishy for a post apocalyptic world.

Some good old conspiracies lol. I don't know the girl, but randomly saw this video. Idk what's going on, but it seems strange. I'm glad that there are people responsible for the faithful remasters though

As much as it pains me to say this, Sony's PC releases don't hurt the console in any way.
All these epic gamers saying they'll get a PC if Sony continues like this, making the PS5 obselete, is just nonsense and not a problem for Sony.

At the end of the day, most people play on console, casual or not. I've been here since PS1 and I'll never play anything behind a stupid desk. I've grown up on SH2 PS2 and I'll get it on PS5 again. Apparently I'm not alone in that anyway.
People who actually enjoy these story driven/ adventure games for generations now, will always play on console. On the couch. In the living room. Not in the basement

Awesome to see TR originals in the top 10.
Though very strange situation going on there, how Crystal Dynamics sabotages Saber Interactive in terms of giving credits

@Americansamurai1
Nono, I was agreeing with you on the ridiculousness of it all

@Americansamurai1
AND THEN THEY RELEASE THEIR EXCLUSIVES ON PC LMAO

Anyways...
>this is a single player release highly inspired by the likes of Red Dead Redemption 2 and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

What is this game and when can I play it!?

Spider Maaaaan?

I'm seriously stoked for this.

@Nepp67
In a time where all these shameless crazies crap on the originals without any respect, staying faithful is an immense feat lol

If the game was way better than it actually was, I'd have cared. But it isn't and I don't care.

I'm still waiting for a Spider-Man game with better swinging physics and more intuitive wall running than SM2 PS2

@Enigk
It's almost as if the internet is full of people who have different opinions
