Netflix? LMAO. Wonder what Sony are thinking about that!
I would have thought they would be the main marketing partner, not that I care in the slightest about it, but I wonder if the Sony brand is so toxic now that more devs will showcase their own stuff in their own way to avoid all the anti-Sony comments.
I've already made peace with the fact the PS5 Pro will be the last console i'll ever own, so when that dies i'll no longer be a "gamer". I wont be interacting/viewing with PS6 / next gen articles cos i've no interest anymore and wont be there for it.
I'm not triggered or anything, just quite sad about it all, I like the choice, I like buying games I'm really interested in on physical media and buying digital when its an indie game or a deep discount on a game that's available on disc, I HATE that choice is being taken away from me.
I'm in the very small demographic of, I do not care about GTA 6 but also the games I'm looking forward to the most are Hellraiser and Silent Hill with a splash of Castlevania.
They have the chance to do the funniest thing, and I hope they do! Even if its just 1st Party stuff. I still wouldn't buy an xbox, cos well, I dont hate myself but it would get them a little buzzy hype.
Honestly, this game is such a good time! Best kart racer I've played in many a year and good value as well! Played with some pals and my nephew who loves Sonic and everyone had a good time.
Cannot wait for this! Hopefully it does come out towards the end of next year, will probably be one of the last (if not thee last) physical games I buy
Signalis is Great
Dying Light 2 is much better now than when it launched
Couldn't care less about the 3rd game, sounds like its designed for streamers to have "HiLaRiOuS" clips for youtube
3, 4, 5 and Primal were peak Far Cry for me, I hated 6. Would love them to take more cues from Primal and do something a bit different with the setting
I really want to play this having loved the 2 previous games, but the combat style is really putting me off, I hate parrying in games at the best of times but in Doom?
Its def the reason why I havent rushed to get and play it and maybe for a lot of other people too?
They are 100% going to transition Marathon into a Destiny style experience for its 2nd year onwards with the extraction side of things becoming the "PVP" side of it, probably what the game needs but I think a lot of us Destiny players just dont trust Bungie / management anymore to do the right things.
I can see this whole thing getting pulled after this tbh, suppose it depends on money, will it be more expensive to recast, reshoot everything they already filmed and then shoot the new stuff Vs the cost of stopping production half way through a show being filmed.
@GirlVersusGame ohhh I didn't even realise this or more than likely forgot lol thank you, I'll check it out for an hour and if I like it will grab the physical
Playstation isnt the "cool" PS4 company anymore the people like Shawn Layden are long gone, the personality free money men in suits are fully in control of Playstation so of course they wont reverse track, now more than ever all they care about is how to make as much money as possible in whatever they can.
A fully digital era wouldn't be so terrible if led to the reduced costs of digital games, after all theres no discs, no plastics, no shops etc and better protection for digital games, but there wont be a chance in hell any of that will ever happen.
I'll be around until my Ps5 Pro with disc drive dies and thats it for me, i've basically checked out of this terrible gen long ago anyway and I wont ever be back for the PS6.
I'm convinced I'm suffering some kind of Mandela-effect cos I'm absolutely sure this game was called Blood of the Dawnwalker, but it's The Blood of Dawnwalker? Maybe it's just my brain organising it into a less clunky title... Looks good tho!
A BILLION people a day? They want 1/8th of the Global Population logging onto their ***** system every single day? And saying this in the same breath as sacking 3200 people? WHO are these people, are they even human? book them all a one-way ticket to clown college.
Never mind a crash, we're truly living in the depression era for gaming. Maybe, just maybe Microsoft shouldn't have been allowed to buy up half the games industry in one swoop.
Completely made peace with the fact my PS5 Pro is now the last games console I'll ever own, but I'm just gonna enjoy and celebrate that by continuing to buy physical discs for the single player games I want.
Anyone thinking all of this is going to lead to an improved digital store, cheaper games etc are simply living in delulu-land.
What you're gonna get is higher priced first party games, even worse sale prices, those £56.22p sale prices on PS5 games will seem like the golden age and to top it all off, dynamic pricing for everyone with a delicious side serving of more AI rot integrated into the UI as a lovely side dish.
I find it 100% cringe when companies jump on the latest meme or pop culture event, and Dominoes need to keep themselves quiet and start making pizzas that actually taste of something other than flavoured rubber.
But also Sony deserve absolutely everything they get and everything that's coming their way, a clown decision made by a company of shiny suited clowns.
Looking increasingly likely the PS5 Pro will be the last console I'll ever / own buy and thats fine with me. If people can justify spending 1K or over on anything then thats on them, but i'd rather put that level of money towards something more meaningful.
And people moan at us who are trying to preserve and prioritize physical over digital media. Buy your games / movies / music physically if and when you can.
Not even over a grand by a bit. but a good few hundred. Insane pricing for something that is struggling to even match a base PS5 performance. Now the 1K+ price threshold has been broken, Sony and Xbox will be rubbing hands with greed for the next consoles.
The whole thing is gross, all thanks to the AI edgelords and peak American capitalism. YAY!
Ahhh the en-s***ification of gaming continues... Everyday the gaming world gets a little bit worse.. and usually Microsoft is behind it. Go Green Go! But whoever required this, either Sony or XBOX is absolutely insane. It's like every company is determined to make things absolutely terrible for everyone at all times.
We absolutely do not need a PS6 next year. With the AI edgelords determined to ruin everything for everybody with an economy and industry on fire, it would be a death sentence for the console.
FF16 is a visual treat, the boss battles are actual whoah moments, good game on top of it all too. But yes also absolutely hate this staggered release thing, either do it for all countries or not at all.
Buying up half the industry only to start killing it off a couple of years later, good ole XBOX once more disrupting the entire industry for the worse.
I feel desperately sorry for the people losing their jobs that had no say in the acquisitions.
I see IGN haven't changed when it comes to Alien Isolation "see how this against-the-odds sequel will build upon its predecessor." That passive aggressive little snark.
Anyways this was my most hyped game of NOT-E3 week, cant wait to see how the Alien AI tech has improved since over a decade ago!
They should have probably just waited till next gen to return to exclusive games, it would save all this confusing double speak, outside of North America their console sales are in the gutter as they have been since last gen.
Also they fact the lean so hard with all these games on Game Pass Day 1, it kinda takes away the point from having exclusive games, cos aint that many people gonna buy it when its on GamePass. They should be making their exclusives exempt from GamePass for a while.
From 6pm tonight and with this, this is probably the best time to ever play Destiny 2, you don't need to worry about missing out on things or catching up or grinding things out, and it's packed with stuff to do as well.
Im sad it's ending but at least it's being left in a great state to play for anyone who wants to.
They were all good to great to TBH but I think Sony was in last place out of the 3. Didnt watch Xbox one but the list of games revealed purely from a multi-platform pov was def impressive! Wasnt expecting a Crazy Taxi reveal there of all places.
I mean good for them, all platforms need exclusives really, but aint nobody dropping £800 on a Xbox for a goofy ass looking Gears game at this stage of the gen.
All the brain dead defending AI... You are part of the reason this world is going to rot. Everyone with a working brain cell should be against generative AI, not only does it empower maniacal bosses and CEOs to literally to get rid of paying humans, but it gives more power to the tech bros and billionaires who are already have too much power and influence, and thats not to even mention the impact on the environment it causes.
If you support AI then you also support all these data centres that are being built to power AI, twhich are decimating the local areas around them with noise pollution, light pollution not to mention the increase of energy bills and lack of water resources, and who even knows what its doing to local wild life populations.
We are heading to a completely dystopian future, so when people say AI hate is performative it riles me up, No, no its not.
That was actually excellent! Aside from the rotted Among Us bit, the whole show flowed so well, minimum yapping and padding. just game after game after game, and speaking of..
Actually went with about 90% of them on my wishlist! Alien Isolation 2, RE Veronica, Gen ATLAS, The Saw Game, FF were my highlights, but what a show!
I gave it an OK, mainly most of it was things we knew about and seen already, Wolverine looks awesome, and Until Dawn 2 was a nice surprise, and finally some details about the Dune game, but that GOW game at the end was rotten! talking cubes, talking swords, cutesy animals showing you the way... no thank you.
