Wasted opportunity by what I understand and heard, 8 inch screen? I could buy a 10 inch tablet and a dualsense that does the same job for less money, and WiFi only, I can use my mobile network while I'm out and about and stream my ps5 to my phone. Playstation have messed up here I think.
@LordAinsley I don't think tekken producers understand how important team battle was to some people, team battle was one of the best couch co-op games to play with friends or family, it isn't just about picking 8 characters, theres a strategy behind it of what order to choose the players, ive come back from 7 -0 down to win, it lasts longer than vs and 10 times more fun, if it is not included in the release version of tekken 8 I'll just wait for tekken 8 to go on sale like I did with tekken 7, that's how important team battle is to me
@KaijuKaiser true, I bought xbox series x because I couldn't get hold of ps5, ive still got series x but hardly ever go on it after getting ps5 so I cancelled game pass, series x is a good console but wish I had paid for the series s with the amount of use I've had out of it and saved myself a few hundred quid.
@ironcrow86 I bought it on sale and I'm enjoying it, I havent bought a fifa game for years though so to me it was a massive leap in graphics and gameplay, fun to play local co op with friends and family, hard-core football game fans might disagree.
Bring back bruce and baek, I know they have said heihatchi won't be returning but hope he does is some form, I really hope they bring back team battle as well.
@get2sammyb hi Sammy, I know it's not nearly as big of a game as Call of Duty but when MLB the show went on game pass did it make much difference in the sales on playstation do you know?
Makes me wonder if they arent saying the release date so.that people who are interested keep checking, the more people go on to search if they have revealed the release date the more chance they have of noticing other games they may be interested in, for example somebody who is interested in spiderman but doesn't own a ps5, is waiting for spiderman 2 to release to buy a ps5 spiderman 1, miles morales and spiderman 2 might see an advert for hogwarts and decide to buy a ps5 to play that and wait for the spiderman 2, even if it only adds 1 more sale per 100 people it's still extra sales of games
I suggest people watch it again, I was too distracted with hopes of what would be shown rather than what was being shown, its not the best showcase but there's some decent looking games of which I would buy at least 5 of.
I think psvr 2 will get a boost in sales now that it is in stores, its a lot of money for people to fork out and may prefer to use store cards pay monthly options
@Tr3mm0r it will probably be expensive but those who want one will probably be able to claim money back from government schemes, I'd happily try to raise money to buy a few of these for people who would benefit, could have people raising money in the gaming community π
I wonder if the ps5 with the detachable disk drive is the playstation 5 Pro, maybe they won't do anything to the specs apart from more storage and ships with dualsense edge
@knowles2 yes like you said one of their new acquisitions, they could even make a completely new team from different studios if they advertised for the job for a team passionate about those types of games
@Amppari I know that's why I said would take a few years to get in to, if sony created their own cod competitor and spent money on advertising that they used to on cod maybe it would work, I've just thought as well a certain percentage of the sales of cod on any console must be down to sonys advertising for it.
I think that sony will already be working on a call of duty competitor, I dont think they will have just waited around to see if Microsoft win or not, they needed a backup plan just in case, might take a few years to get going but with sonys first party talent they could easily do a better game than cod.
I dont pay attention to metacritic scores anymore, the only reviews I trust are on push square, I havent played burning shores yet but its downloaded and waiting for when I've got 100 percent on forbidden west and I don't want to rush because I'm enjoying it that much.
@Futureshark that's right, I have a friend who collects all old consoles and he had to buy an old CRT television to play the light gun games, there's a video on YouTube explaining why they don't work on modern tvs
