@EfYI agree with your post about bracketing people.
I did like the show and will be back for second season.
I actually did like playing **** , but the point where you have to chase and fight **** did ‘feel’ very weird and uncanny valley the first time I played, so kudos to ND for making me feel that way, which I think is what they wanted.
Just go Phil. Your grasp exceeded your reach. Your plan was poorly executed. And people have lost faith in your words. Even when you speak, you sound defeated and wonder where it all went wrong. Just go man and keep some dignity.
“But if the PS5 is to continue to maintain its momentum, the Japanese giant may need to find a way to bring the price down, as the PS4 was much cheaper at this point in its lifespan“
Umm.. price has gone up from day one release, then PS5 Pro releases with higher price(obviously) and yet the PS5 still continues to shift tons of units.
So… um… no. No cheaper console likely any time soon. People vote with their wallet and have decided, Sony, please take my hard earned money. Sony says thanks in return.
Switch 2 should be good for you, as you seem to like their library of games.
As you know, this is my last gen and this sort of topic and reading through comments about a possible all digital future, means, for me, that I’m making the right choice.
@Flaming_Kaiser yes 👍🏻 I have already made the decision to call this my last gen. Like you, I too have enough backlog/old games to keep me happy during the wet UK winters.
Come summertime (HA! Uk summer? I can wish!) I will cycling a lot more.
@Flaming_Kaiser very true. What I said still holds true - gaming is becoming too expensive for the average person, regardless of graphics card prices. They will decide cards are way too expensive, then look at consoles and see they getting expensive as well with games rising( digital only has got everyone in a strangle hold) and decide ‘ you know what? I think I’m going get a different hobby.’
Don’t believe me? A massive PlayStation install base is still on PS4 and this is the first gen of consoles that have not had any price drops but have actually gone up in price.
If that’s the cost of development, and it keeps going up, then so too will the cost of each game.
Then factor in cost of console development.
PS6 - £800 - £1000?
Gaming becoming very expensive for average Joe, with numerous reports of games ‘underselling’
Maybe M$ have a good idea about a phased move away from console space like Sega before them
Porsche spaceship? Yes.
This is an alternate version of our past.
Porsche designs spaceships instead of cars.
No different from superheroes, zombies…. or anything else in a FANTASY world.
If that rubs you the wrong way then don’t play it or any other game for that matter.
For anyone outside of gaming watching this, it really doesn’t scream ‘PlayStation’ until you see the console. And that’s the point of an advert, to get none gamers interested. Those of us already in, don’t need this ‘non gameplay’ advert.
@awp69 probably not. The French seem to love setting fire to Paris streets and infrastructure when ever they get upset over something. The ‘Juane Gilet’ ( yellow jackets) came out in force a few years back with riots and looting and burning over several issues of French decisions.
@HonestHick not Xbox going out of business. More like Xbox ‘hardware’ disappearing and going software only as ‘MS gaming’.
They are constantly talking about cloud streaming to everything from mobile to tv, heck, probably find a way to stream it to everyone’s toilet or shower!
The Guillemont family should be thankful they live in modern times. In darker, more unforgiving historical times, the STJV would have called for the guillotine instead of a strike.

Re: Druckmann on The Last of Us HBO Story Outpacing the Games: 'I Leave Nothing on the Line'
After all the ‘feelings’ ND and Druckman received after TLOU2 from gamers, I’m not sure he wants to make pt3.
Don’t blame him tbh.

Re: Ex-PlayStation Boss Says Sony 'Can't Get Away' with a PS6 That Has No Disc Drive
Yeah will be able to get a disc drive firstly(where for art thou PS5 disc drive?) and how much are Sony going to charge for it?
Re: Ex-Sony Boss Says Xbox Can Find Multiplatform Software Success, Just Like SEGA
“Xbox can find multi platform success like Sega”
Got no option really. Just like Sega, they are not selling hardware.
History really does repeat itself.
Re: Sony Could Be Plotting a PS5 Livestream Around Valentine's Day
@RoomWithaMoose same opinion here.
And old as well.
And I miss the 70’s and 80’s. Things were simple back then.
Re: Xbox Boss Wants to Beat PS6 on Hardware Capabilities, Not Necessarily Games
Phil…. You do talk a lot of old guff.
Please just don’t talk. It’s better for everyone if you don’t.
Re: Would You Pay $100 for GTA 6?
Yet more confirmation that this is my last gen of gaming.
Pricing themselves out of business.
It is quite frankly getting ridiculous.
Re: Video Game Industry 'Doesn't Want a Game Pass', Says Market Analyst
@breakneck yes I do. And he was bang on money with what he said.
Unfortunately he was way, way , wide of the mark with his unreal push for GaaS. I think that was his undoing.

Re: Unfortunately, PS5's Disc Drive Add-On Shortage Doesn't Seem to Be Getting Better
@Flaming_Kaiser interesting topic, considering our conversation earlier today.

Re: Archetype's Sci-fi Epic Exodus Looks Sick in PS5 Gameplay

Re: Naughty Dog's New PS5 Game Is Finally Announced, Sci-Fi Action Title Intergalactic
Day one 👍🏻 nuff said!
Loving the vibe ( alternate but oh-so-familiar retro) and should be a very well fleshed out story.
Ignore the naysayers, bring it on ND!
Re: PlayStation Wrap-Up 2024 Finally Working After Over 24 Hours Offline

Re: Play Has No Limits in Sony's Latest Live-Action PS5 Ad

Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Will Literally Melt Your Face Off on PS5 Pro

Nope. Sorry. Not going to buy into it.

Nope. Gotta disagree on that. Still having fun.
