@Gedrick Yep, there's no way they're going to sell it for less than the Pro even if they're building it to a budget. We can live in hope that everything will go back to normal next year. 😂
Love my PS5 Pro, was a day 1 purchase for me. Though because of it I'll probably not get a PS6 at launch. Though obviously depends on what the PS6 can do.
Remember when Microsoft didn't have any games and those they did have were not missed by PlayStation fanboys ..... Now the thought of losing Halo, Fable, Gears and Horizon has ones worried. I think there could be a lot of changes coming at XBOX. I can see them keeping COD as multiplatform but everything else is up in the air until confirmed. It would be easier if they don't do it on a case by case basis. With all the changes will the new console actually get the rumoured access to the steam store? That's a decision I don't think makes sense. Sony took their toys off PC because they weren't doing as well as expected and also they would have been playable on the next XBOX console.
100% The correct decision. There's no value in putting their games onto PC around the same time as they release on console. The exclusives do sell systems, it's been proven time and again. Putting the games on PC in the future will also mean XBOX having access to them as well. You saw how big a deal it was for ppl playing Playstation games on the Xbox handheld Rog thing. Hopefully this means Sony will start putting out a lot more story focused single player games going forward.
Didn't really like the legends mode in Tsushima so never even bothered giving it a go in Yotei. For me they could drop it in the next game and put the extra effort into the single player.
Honestly can't wait to play this game. Paid for the premium upgrade through GPU. Though I'm not going to get to play it until Tuesday 19th cus I'm in Malta. Tried to see as little as possible about it but it looks awesome. It also has the MK4.5 Focus ST again so is a 10/10 for me. 😂 Love flying around in my mean green SX machine. 😂 Playground have been carrying MS for years.
It's anyone's guess at this point. If it does release on PS5 it'll probably be after the PC and Xbox. People saying that if it's been in development then it'll release. Is that the same as Saros and Ghost of Yotei then on PC? 🤔 If MS decide to go back to having exclusives then they will just stop the development on PS5. Same as Sony did with those 2 games when they decided to stop releasing to PC.
@RadioHedgeFund You sound fun. I bet you loved God of War. 😂
@For-Kier Not just IGN giving it a good review though. Not sure what the issue is with IGN giving it a high score. It's a great game. Was IGN not getting slagged off for constantly giving 7/10? People just love moaning about anything.
Online "influencers" get the most reactions and engagement by being negative. Being negative about something that has gotten great reviews just drives this even more.
I'll buy a physical game if I know for sure I'll not want to go back to it once completed. Or I'm not sure I'll like it. Like the yearly MotoGP games get the plat and sell. Others would be games I'm not sure about. For example I got Saros and Crimson Desert deluxe from Amazon. Looking at CEX, they're offering £3 than what I paid for Crimson Desert so I see it as a no brainer.
Will be starting Mixtape this evening on GPU. If I enjoy it as much as Artful Escape then I'll buy on Playstation to have a 2nd play through later on in the year. Also still working on monster energy supercross 4. Been playing a good bit of Saros, which was a surprise as I hated Returnal.
Will be playing through GPU and once finished will leave it a few years and then buy it on Playstation. No stupid eliminator trophy or achievement in this one.
So this live service game has a campaign that can be played in single player? Sounds likely they're already panicking about not getting enough players. Just this and Fair games left to release and hopefully that'll be the end of Sony chasing the live service money.
After not getting on with Returnal, I decided to say stuff it and got Saros. Played a couple of hours and have enjoyed it more than I did Returnal. Also picked up Crimson Desert so will start that this evening. I'm working through platinuming all the monster energy supercross games. So these are a welcome break.
Word is that Fable could be delayed. So Horizon 6 might be the only one released on PS5 if they do decide to do a 180. I still think it's a stupid idea dropping all their big games the year before their new console is to release. If they're going back to exclusives then it would make more sense to keep them to launch alongside the next console. A hybrid approach might be best. Like release all Activision and Bethesda games multiplatform then the core Xbox games studio games keep exclusive.
@Kiltedhaggis Yes totally, the rest of the games MS has released haven't done massive numbers. Though the next lot that are scheduled probably will. The Halo remake, the new Gears of war and Fable. I think if MS made them console exclusive that would help the next console. Which currently who knows what games it'll release with as they're releasing all their big hitters this year. So they'll just advertise that they play better on the new console. I'm with u. I'll be keeping the series X for quite a while as I still have free GPU for a couple of years yet thanks to the reward points. So yea if they switch to exclusives then will get the new one at some stage.
@Kiltedhaggis Well, we have here an article complaining that Horizon 6 is not releasing on PS5 at the same time as Xbox and how MS must be kicking themselves. 5 million plus sales on a how many years old game? It's fair to say that Horizon 6 will sell well whenever it is released on PS5. So ppl that just have a PS5 will be upset if they played 5 and were looking forward to 6. I agree about exclusives, it def has been proven over the years. If MS are serious about selling their new console they need to have games to make people buy it. Being able to play steam games isn't going to make me buy it. When I can get the PS6 and play Sony and MS games it just wipes out a whole lot of people.
Didn't seem to hurt Horizon 5 sales when it wasn't released back in the day. Horizon 6 will sell fine when it releases. Would be kinda funny though if Xbox did a complete 180 and stopped all the multiplatform releases (other than COD). Could u imagine the uproar?
Why would Sony lower their price just because MS has lowered the price of GPU? Crazy take saying Sony need to lower it to compete? Really? I didn't know Xbox sales were so close to PS5 sales.... Was there not a story doing the rounds recently that Sony was going to look at ways of getting more money out of its players?
What a massive waste of money and lack of foresight from the head of playstation. COVID wasn't going to last forever, so investing heavily in online gaming that was getting a massive boost because of it was crazy. I might be in the minority but I've never played a last of us game and thought I'd love a multiplayer game of this.
@hol_up Totaly, if the prices continue like this and the PS6 isn't delayed beyond next year then it'll make more sense to just change to that. Just saw some posts on Reddit of ppl buying 2 and was like how many are doing that!
I'll do what I normally do and just watch the videos after for the games I'm interested in. Will be interesting to see if MS start backing away from multiplatform releases now. Or if they continue. I'm got GPU for another 2 years but I kind of want to pay and play Horizon 6 on the PS5 Pro because Horizon 5 looks and runs better on it. Haven't really used the series X in a long time and even the last 6 months was only turning it on to get the daily reward points but I've even stopped doing that.
Glad switched from base to pro when it launch. For the first time ever I'm not too bothered about rushing to get the next generation of consoles. I'll happily keep my pro and play through the backlog and the games that will release for it over the next 3 or 4 years.
@DartLOD Shame there's soo many people buying a brand new game and not bothering to play it. Maybe they just admire the cover art.... Hands up who buys games at full price and then don't play them?
@Northern_munkey I got the plat for dirt rally 2.0 in preparation for EA WRC thinking they would be able to deliver on their previous efforts. When EA WRC first released the difference was astronomical. The roads were wide and flat, it was like playing Grid legends. I probably should have said EA rather than codemasters. They should not have forced them to switch to the UE4 engine. I haven't played it in a good while, so not sure if they've made any improvements to it. Enjoyed Seb Loeb as well, so cheap but still a decent game. Someone needs to tell Sony to buy KT on the cheap so they can have a rally game series.
@Northern_munkey Yea unfortunately that could be an age before we get it. Was really looking forward to another good WRC game. EA WRC was such a massive disappointment. From dirt rally 2.0 to that. Codemasters finally got the license and completely dropped the ball.
