Its really not. I missed having party members to control and previous entries had much deeper combat to master.
I understand they were experimenting with this but it strayed too much away from Final Fantasy. Felt like I was playing a worse version of Game Of Thrones
Spot on with the article. Money is the only language these companies undersfand. If Astro doesn't sell well, other platformers are unlikely to be greenlit
If I didn't already have a PS5, I'd agree with you. I would play on PC. Better for the consumer and more variety / free online play etc.
Yet I do have one and have spent £500-£1000 on hardware. If for example, PS exclusives came day 1 on PC, instead of buying PS stuff, i'd build a nice rig with that money instead which allows me to play nearly everything except Nintendo games.
These companies aren't our friends. They want our money. I'm well aware. I'll game where its most convenient to do so, in the above scenario, a gaming PC would be far more economical with more variety (Steam /Gamepass /PS)
@8bitOG
The writing is on the wall. If they do that with PS6, will simply game on a PC instead and not buy the PS hardware.
@NEStalgia
You could be right. As a consumer, my only interest is whether the PS is a worthwhile investment for me. Whether me playing Sony exclusives alone doesn't benefit them, that's their issue. I saw their product and got it for my own reasons. It would be up to them to convince me to play other multiplat games on their hardware (sales / dlcs etc)
The latest Like A Dragon came has 4 years between them. Thats fine especially since they released other games like Lost Judgment and the man who erased his name inbetween.
Elder Scrolls & GTA 6 is taking the absolute piss. At this rate, we have to wait until 2037 for GTA 7 lol.
Pro Clubs is fun but I rarely get the chance to play with the lads at the same time. Back in my uni days, it was damn near daily. Now we lucky to play at all.

Re: Until Dawn PS5, PC Remake Is Still on Its Way as Age Rating Surfaces
Loved Until Dawn on PS4.
Hope they offer an upgrade path for existing owners.
Re: Bungie Accused of Overselling Itself to Sony, Promising Success It Couldn't Deliver
Chasing the live service model is going to be one of Playstation's biggest regrets.
Re: Yakuza / Like a Dragon Starter Packs Up on PS Store Now, for New Players Ahead of Amazon TV Show
This is a horrendous sale.
You could get Yakuza 0-7 for less than £50 on previous sales.
Heck I got into the franchise with Yakuza 0 for £5. Best £5 I've spent.

Re: Concord's Free Open Beta Is Performing Abysmally on PC
Won't bother with it at all even if the beta is free. Would rather use time on something else.
Re: EA Sports College Football 25 Sells 2.2 Million Copies for $100
GTA 6 will 100% do something similar and sell tens of millions of copies regardless
Re: FC 25 Reveal Is This Week, Jude Bellingham's on the Cover
@Member_the_game
You are a good example of why EA knows they can get away with releasing the game yearly.
They know it will sell like hotcakes regardless of quality
Re: Talking Point: What's Your PS5 Game of the Year for 2024 So Far?
REBIRTH for me and Its going to take a lot to beat it for me.
Infinite Wealth was amazing too
Re: Final Fantasy Creator Finished with the Series, Sees Himself as a Player
Let the man rest. He has more than earned it.
Re: Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot Smashes Through 8 Million Sales

Its really not. I missed having party members to control and previous entries had much deeper combat to master.

Re: Poll: One Year Later, What Are Your Thoughts on Final Fantasy 16?
@KundaliniRising333
I was incredibly disappointed. I love final fantasy. Played nearly all of them but I just couldn't get into FF16.
I made it more than halfway through but found myself forcing myself to finish it instead of wanting to play it.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Gets October Release Date on PS5, PS4
No wonder nearly 50% of PS users are still on PS4.

Re: Xbox Series S Specs Limit the Scope of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
@MysticWangForce
This was me. Never had an Xbox so got a series S to go through the xbox catalogue and any gamepass games day 1
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Swings 11 Million Sales as Sony Calls PS5 Exclusive a 'Great Success'
Currently playing it. Does everything a sequel should. Definitely going for the platinum.
Re: Until Dawn Looks Scarily Good in PS5 Gameplay Trailer, Arrives in Fall 2024
Remasters of PS4 games screams creatively bankrupt.
Game plays fine on PS5 as it is. Love the game but hard pass.
Re: Ballad of Antara Offers 'High Fidelity' Free-to-Play RPG Action on PS5 in 2025
One of the games that piqued my curiousity. Managing my expectations since its Free To Play but will still give it a shot
Re: Neil Druckmann Claims Comments of Next Naughty Dog Game 'Redefining' the Mainstream View of Gaming Was a Sony Misquote
The real question is if whether The Last Of Us Part 3 / Finale releases before the end of this generation.

Re: Ghost of Tsushima PC Is Now PlayStation's Biggest Single Player Launch on Steam
@__jamiie
I'd have little incentive to have a PS5 then. I'd sell it and game on PC.
I'd have access to Steam / Gamepass & PS Exclusives Day 1. Why would I have a PS5?
Re: Ghost of Tsushima PC Is Now PlayStation's Biggest Single Player Launch on Steam
This strategy appears to be successful for Sony so we should expect this to be the new norm.
As long as its not day 1 on PC, then I don't see the issue. Get a PS5 to play the exclusives earlier than PC.
Re: GTA 6 PS5 Release Window Narrowed to Fall 2025
Expect a delay to Spring 2026.
Rockstar games rarely release on time.
Re: GTA 5 Makes Up Almost Half of Series' Sales, 200 Million Copies Sold
GTA 6 will likely sell 10+ million copies on day 1 alone with this level of hype
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Pre-Orders Already 'Looking Very Strong'
@Zenos
And people do so like sheep.
Unless getting a steelbook case or something similar, no point pre-ordering.

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Dated for 15th November in First Trailer
Will try it whenever it comes on PS Plus or Gamepass
Re: 13 New Games Joining PS Plus Extra, Premium Next Week
Time to tackle the backlog. Resident Evil 2 Remake here I come
Re: Final Fantasy 16, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Fail to Meet Expectations on PS5
When 3 million copies sold in the 1st week on top of the money received for exclusivity isn't good enough, you are in trouble as a company.
Re: Rumour: SEGA Wants Persona to Be an Annual Franchise Alongside Like a Dragon, Sonic
Quality over quantity
Re: More Xbox Layoffs Reportedly Inbound as Company Attempts to Cut Costs
@trev666
Agreed.
When GTA 6 is reported to cost $2 Billion and AAA games need 10+million sales to just break even, industry is in trouble.
Re: This Year's Call of Duty May Not Be Included in Xbox Game Pass After All
That makes business sense.
Releasing games day 1 on gamepass 100% eats into potential sales.
Re: Gaming Subs Like PS Plus, Xbox Game Pass Aren't Growing At All
@get2sammyb
"Too much content, too little time".
This sums up gaming and media in general. My backlog forever increases with each new month of PS Plus additions.
Great problem to have but I now almost never buy anything full price because there is something I have to catch up on

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for May 2024?
As someone who only plays Fifa for Seasons mode, this is a good month.
Stopped bothering to buy it full price when I know it will come to subscription services within the year.

Re: Most PS5 Players Say 60fps Is a Must
60FPS any day over better graphics.
Kudos for doing both.
Re: Red Dead Redemption Is Now Included with Subscription Service GTA+

This.
£5 for a month should be enough to plat it
Re: Rumour: GTA 6 Could Slip as Far Back as 2026 Due to Development Issues
Spring 2025 was already a stretch. Holiday 2025 is more realistic.
Re: Japan Sales Charts: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth PS5 Sales Slip 91% at Retail
These headlines are misleading when we know the vast majority of sales are digital.
Re: First Persona 3 Reload DLC Out Now, Adds Songs from Persona 5 and 4
No point buying Persona games at launch.
Better to wait for the inevitable complete/royal edition with everything included.
Re: Persona 3 Reload: Episode Aigis Expansion Pass Priced at Roughly £30 / $35
Will play on gamepass.
£30 is steep

Re: Dragon Ball Manga Icon Akira Toriyama Passes Aged 68
RIP to the man responsible for a lot of our childhoods.
His art remains with us forever. I hope to introduce my kids to the world of Dragonball one day
Re: Japan Sales Charts: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Tops, But Doesn't Even Come Close to Remake
I wonder how Square will approach the inevitable 3rd game in the trilogy with these figures.
I reckon more people bought digital but I am certain they were expecting better sales than this regardless
