@Enuo yeah, being on gamepass really screws a game, just look at forza horizon 4. Oh wait, it's almost bare bare with GoW... Don't spread misinformation
@PSfan4Life22 I would be shocked if GoW wasn't number 1 on this site considering its playstation centric site. Fan meltdown would be too heavy for them. From the get go I expected rdr2 to be number 2 and gow number 1.
For me it's Red Dead Redemption 2. Arthur's story really hit me and in the end he became one of my favorite game characters of all time. I played gow and it's great, but not on Red Dead Redemption 2 level.
@Deadlyblack is rebirth included in afterbirth? If yes, why is then afterbirth cheaper? And what about those physical edition afterbirth+ versions? Does that include everything? This is so confusing to me, sorry to bother you.
I actually have rebirth on steam but I don't game on PC so I'd like to buy it on ps4.
@huyi I hope for this very much. It's already possible on Xbox, and I get annoyed how your saves don't work if you try it with the same game just from a different region.
@belmont yeah, well, it is, but this is a Sony exclusive game so we have to defend it no matter what, right? At least that's how majority here acts.
There's a difference between hear and listen. That answer was rude definitely, it just sounds like someone irritated wrote it. That's not how you communicate with your fans.
I personally don't care for this particular or any other suit, but if you can't do something at least explain why to your fans, don't bash them.
It seems like fans are only good when they buy your product and applaud you, but if they criticise you then they're like unwanted fans. Childish approach.
@AdamNovice gaming is at 9.8 of TOTAL MICROSOFT revenue. I hope you realize how much is that? So they're already doing excellent, believe it or not. And no, they wouldn't be good going software only, why would they? They don't have so many games(software) and other platform holders would never allow them to put gamepass, mixer etc on their respective platforms. They would also lose 30% cut which is their biggest revenue generator. This assumption just don't hold any value, really. All the arguments are against it, so I don't see why people keep spreading it.
@darkswabber this game is part of private division which is like a 3rd party partnership studio of take two interactive, and obviously it was in development for quite some time. I wouldn't hope for any of the recent studios to be like Mojang, as any of these purchases wouldn't make any sense. They invested i studios to bolster their luck luster 1st party offering, not to be sponsor for struggling studios
@Boxmonkey but Bethesda wants you to know about games five years in advance. Or square Enix 10 years. Or Sony, or Microsoft. Haha I agree with you but that's how it is in this industry.
@ShogunRok I don't remember you having any interviews or columns throughout the year, am I right? Don't take my comments as something evik, it's just that I visit this site every day several times so I want it to be better, nothing else. Thanks for your detailed response and I wish you all the best!
@JJ2 I honestly sometimes feel that some of the articles are too clickbaity, and just by reading the headline you know there'll be lots of comments, and not meaningful ones unfortunately. I understand site needs traffic to support itself, but man, let's not go that low.
@ShogunRok well, this one MAY be okay, but just take a look how many rumour news have been posted in the last few or a month. I thinks it's a little too much.
Edit: why even spread rumors for something literally a few days away?
@Rob_230 building studio from ground up is much more difficult then buying an existing studio. After all, some of the best studios and exclusives for playstation were/are made by studios which Sony had bought, not built from ground up. Let's check some facts before pointing fingers.
@RidingMower yeah, just like Sony expanded the industry with guerilla games, naughty dog, sucker punch, media molecule or with attempted buyout of insomniac games. Wonderful expansion, indeed.
@jdv95 Mojang, playgrounds games, ninja theory, inxile, Obsidian certainly aren't studios with average records.
@AdamNovice and fail it? No thanks, let's use their resources for something more reasonable I'm a big fan of their batman games including knight, so high hopes for their next game.
@AdamNovice superman is too overpowered to make anything interesting out of him in a video game. It would be really boring. Mechanically that game would always be broken.
This is the perfect example why digital only is awful. He lost everything on his account, including all the games he bought. That simply couldn't happen if he had them on discs.
I'm disappointed there's no dead cells in sale, I was really looking forward to it. And seing hollow knight at 50% stings as it's only a month old game, but that's what you get as an early adopter
@Octane switch was a very different proposition - it's a successor to a very unpopular console (Wii U) and it launched with a highly praised Zelda game.l with Mario in the horizon. People will buy Nintendo for Zelda and Mario and we know it. I don't think these two are comparable. Besides, I'm not saying you need the whole year as reveal in March with launch in November is 8 months difference.
Guys, if they wanted March 2020 wouldn't E3 be a good idea to present your console or your games for the next console. That just doesn't make sense to me. I'm in holiday 2020 camp.
@Kidfried @Jaz007 yeah, safely, right? People have written off E3 too many times already in the past two decades and it's still going, still important as ever.
Zero change, right push square? Heh that was a great oversight on your part dismissing such rumors so easily.
Anyway, this is really strange. I guess we'll get one more exclusive before E3 so they can't give E3 with only two exclusives we've already seen many times but it's still strange.
Personally, I find this outrageous and I'd be ashamed to say this to the public. They use the same engine, albeit modified, they say they are familiar with it and we still get same buggy uninspiring games. I had high hopes for their next gen games but this left me disappointed.
@Gamer83 well I understand why people mention that considering Microsoft's previous track record which isn't all that good but thankfully things change.
@JJ2 it's not, others are entitled to have different opinions, but they should be based on something and fanboyism simply isn't healthy for this industry.
@JohnnyShoulder I don't have a direct link for Obsidian per se, but Microsoft in general talked about that, there are links available, also inxile talked about that in their video shown last night, ninja theory also has video stating why they chose Microsoft and creative freedom was, besides financial backing, the main reason. Find their video and see for yourself.
@hubertuss03 nope, they were almost always in a bad financial situation and that's why they took contract works. Storm lands was canceled 6 years ago, I'm talking about the most recent situation. It's a pity you're a fanboy so you spin information.
Obsidian was in a very bad financial position for years and even their most recent game, Pillars of Eternity 2 bombed, having sold only 100 000 and some copies, and they had to sell at least 500-600k to break even! So obviously they like financial security as everyone else as they also have families and lives besides gaming. Some people obviously forget that.
Besides, they all have creative freedom given by Microsoft and it's written in their contracts so it's amusing how some salty fanboys comment without knowledge.
Good luck to all of them and wish them to produce good games so we can all enjoy some more good games regardless of platform.
Just how much money is enough for Activision? Destiny made the largest amount in September and its still not enough. I'd say this game is in a pretty good shape and they are doing good atm, but the publisher is way too greedy. I imagine people at Bungie regret leaving Microsoft, especially now that Microsoft has dramatically changed. Just one more game Bungie, survive just one more game and you're done with Activision.
@JJ2 it's not surprise and I wasn't talking about that.
Anyway, I've played both and both are great and I'm looking forward to playing odyssey (bought it at launch but my order got lost unfortunately) so this October has been really good. Not to mention Hollow Knight and its brilliance!
@JJ2 cod made 500 million in 3 days while rdr2 made 725 million in 3 days, so rdr2 is obviously a lot stronger, it just comes down to cod having more days in October and that's it. Nothing special.

@PS_Nation that's true.

@leucocyte you're incorrect and it's easily provable using Google.

Re: The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ Final Booster Packs DLC Will Arrive Soon on PS4
@Deadlyblack just to be sure, so I just buy afterbirth digitally and I'll get rebirth + afterbirth?

Re: The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ Final Booster Packs DLC Will Arrive Soon on PS4
@Deadlyblack I see, thanks. Could you also explain which version I should buy?
Re: The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ Final Booster Packs DLC Will Arrive Soon on PS4
@RedMan33 @Deadlyblack how are controls on PS4? I'd like to buy it but not sure how are controls.

@ShogunRok or you could try and do something like columns, interviews etc? It's okay to have a rumour every now and then, but lately it's too often. Let's not forget there was an article on dragon age speculation literally five days ago on this very site: https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2018/11/bioware_teases_dragon_age_news_coming_before_the_end_of_the_year
