@Realist totally agree 👍🏻. And every man and his dog say that digital only is the future🙄. I think sales would higher if they had chosen a physical release as well because lots of gamers love physical ( I know, shocking right!!)
@Martijn87 yep 👍🏻. I was around in the 80’s ( and the early 70’s for that matter, yes I’m old!) and every action adventure or fantasy film was exactly like that cover! Man it is so cringe now , but back then, yep that’s fine. Puts a smile on my face to look back at how things have changed over the years 😊
I sit here reading these comments (over my bowl of Rice Krispies) of unbelievable hatred towards him and I think, yeah get out Sir. You deserve much better. You helped create some of the best video game stories EVER, ones that touch our very souls and brought forth so much emotion and yet the ungrateful just gush so much hatred towards you.
Jim Ryan will only be judged ’good’ in players eyes if Sony screw up PlayStation in the next few years. If they do good or well in players eyes then Jimbo is doomed.
What or if this matters is another topic of conversation entirely……..
@themightyant totally agree with you Sir, I just get the feeling that this will be written off before getting a fair chance.Also didn’t know about the no update on kickstarter, THAT is bad. Always talk to your money providers.
@Juanalf all digital and popular in Japan eh? You should get yourself over to purexbox and read the the article about M$ not abandoning physical media.
Very interesting comments from people in Japan. Apparently they they WANT physical not digital.
Hmmmm…. PS6 in 3/4 years time? Nope. Could be the first time I’m not excited for a new gen console. PS5 nowhere near pushed, so what quantum leap is gonna happen to push PS6? And considering how it takes to make games for PS5, the PS6 gen will be over before any games are made.
Like a few others on this site have said, this is possibly my last gen gaming.
Nope. Plat hidden behind hardest difficulty. SE could learn a thing or two from Naughty Dog (TLOU 1+2) and others in that respect. Plat trophy regards of difficulty gets MORE people playing the game and is inclusive regards of ‘git gud’ skill levels.
@PixelDragon oohhh first book! Interesting. iirc you are uk based , same as me. Keep me posted would like to read it as would my wife. Anything book and she is there😂
@PixelDragon spot on Sir!👍🏻 I’m right there with ya. Only game at weekends. Game buying also 1 or two games a year (patience for sales is my thing). Also have a backlog/replay pile so new games not a priority.

Re: Sea of Thieves Reportedly a 'Key Test' for More Xbox Games on PS5
@Fiendish-Beaver
Yes you are correct in your statement.
I used game on pc(also ps1-ps5) but tossed pc because of price. And hassle.
If Sony gets expensive then I won’t bother.
Then I will do what I said in my comment.
I will vote with my pocket and not bother.
Re: Sea of Thieves Reportedly a 'Key Test' for More Xbox Games on PS5
@Fiendish-Beaver
Nope. If Sony goes the way you think, people migrate to PC or just not bother at all.
People vote with their pockets.

@themightyant totally agree with you Sir, I just get the feeling that this will be written off before getting a fair chance.Also didn’t know about the no update on kickstarter, THAT is bad. Always talk to your money providers.
Re: Little Devil Inside Finally Resurfaces with New Trailer, Kickstarter Update
@themightyant fair comments👍🏻 but they are a small team so things take longer.
Stray was a small team and a loooong time in development but they released a fantastic game.
No man’s sky. Again small team, really dodgy release but given time they produced.
I hope people don’t write this off so early.
Re: Little Devil Inside Finally Resurfaces with New Trailer, Kickstarter Update
@SamMR you know this is the length of the game because……?
Re: Little Devil Inside Finally Resurfaces with New Trailer, Kickstarter Update

Re: PS5 Goes for the Kill with New Discounts in Europe
@Mio_Nakashima might not be a next time for Phil if Xbox keeps tanking. Close the door behind you on the way out Mr Spencer…….
Re: PS5 Goes for the Kill with New Discounts in Europe
@nomither6 it benefits Sony from a business point of view but the bigger impact is from a psychological aspect.
People are psychological machines.
Everything is psychological in life. Everything.
Re: PS5 Goes for the Kill with New Discounts in Europe
Sony are being savage, and going for throat this gen.

Re: Rumour: Even More Xbox Exclusives Coming to PS5 Than Already Reported
MS are stinking rich. More games on PS. More stinking rich. So rich they will end up buying Sony outright. Food for thought…….
Re: Rumour: Xbox Console Exclusive Starfield Is Setting a Course for PS5
I see a future where they buy Sony outright. When happens I’m done with video games.
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's Long Trophy List Revealed, 61 to Unlock
Nope. Plat hidden behind hardest difficulty. SE could learn a thing or two from Naughty Dog (TLOU 1+2) and others in that respect. Plat trophy regards of difficulty gets MORE people playing the game and is inclusive regards of ‘git gud’ skill levels.
I know others will disagree though just because.
Re: Could Sony, Hideo Kojima's Physint Be the First Announced PS6 Game?
Kojima does indeed keep things close to his chest, but…….. has he, himself and Sony been working on this in secret for a while now?

We may see it sooner that we think

Still worth buying(having) one. I still rock my ps3,2 and 1. Love replays of old games….. plus nostalgia and all that.
It’s not like a ps4 is a bad console anyways, so why not?
