@RamboMike Really? I am sure everyone was mad about bluepoint closing, for example. Everyone was mad about japan studio and studio liverpool too. I don't recall anyone being happy about closed sony studios here, but i suppose you read more comments. 😅

Re: 'Some Analysts Believe Sony Is Considering Pushing the PS6 Back': Embracer Report Hints at Later Than 2027 Launch

Nem

I mean... there is no point until the prices come back down. The steam box is a digital base ps5 without controller for over 1k dollars/euros. Playstation has the more powerful pro on the market for a cheaper price.
To release something more powerful we may be looking at way north of that.
There is no point. Better to keep making bank on the ps5/pro.

Playstation's model is not a deluxe item with low sales. Steam can afford that by not producing much and still have their platform on every PC. Sony depends on those console sales to build a userbase.

Re: Xbox Wants Faster Fallout, Elder Scrolls Games to Bolster Business

Nem

It's not that easy. Todd is very hands on.

There are only a few methods to achieve this. Either invest in growing BGS so they can develop 2 games at once or make Obsidian a satellite developer of theirs. Either way, there is no guarantee that it will be the same games.
People like to say X years since the last game in a series. But, they are a 1 team developer. When they chose to make starfield those durations were gonna increase massively.
Back when they only did elder scrolls, of course games came out more often. Then they added Fallout and then they added Starfield and it snowballed.

Re: Guild Wars 3 Will Make Its Console Debut on PS5, Beta Due in Fall 2027

Nem

@Areus The first one could be done easily and might even happen cause they just ported it to mobile.
GW2 is a different beast and is not very well optimised. Devs also said that the engine can't be ported and it's not gonna happen. Either way, this is fine cause GW3 is a prequel and no knowledge of earlier games set in the future is required.

Re: Poll: How Would You Rate Summer Game Fest 2026?

Also, can we celebrate the end of the Gaas era? Aside from ongoing established ones, i didn't see much of them.
Seems like the fad finally died down after all the duds.

Though now we are in the survival horror era. So many of them!

Re: Resident Evil Veronica Confirmed for PS5, Out in 2027

Nem

@Jireland92 Yes. It is somewhat odd. They seem to be passing the game as a kind of RE V (5).
Same naming convention from Village and Requiem.
But surely they will still call RE5 a remake when that comes out. Unless they decide to veer from the co-op entries.
They can also just remake RE5 in such a way to be quite different and call it RE VI... and we all forget RE6 happened. 😂

Re: Xbox Will Show PS5 Logos at Showcase, But May Adjust Moving Forward as Execs Publicly Contradict Each Other

Nem

This is gonna end badly. There is no way they will stop multiplat releases and advertising their products on a big event is important.
The Xbots don't get that the best they can get is timed exclusives and that Xbox depends on other platforms to generate revenue.

This will either end with more shambles for the Xbots or a closed division. I know that no matter what she says Asha will have to stay the course or be out of a job.

Re: Reaction: I'm Sad It's Over, But Destiny's End Was Overdue

Nem

I am not a player or fan, but i will say that letting go of your userbase is a mistake. They may not return.
An announcement of Destiny 3 would only be logical in order to keep the fanbase hooked and looking to the future.

This is a dropping of the ball not only of Bungie but of Sony. These were the people with live service know-how?! Lol!
