The name that was leaked months ago? What an absolute nothing burger.

This should be illegal. We need to start pushing governments to create laws to protect us against these predatory practices.

Before the digital soldiers come marching in: physical media accounts for only a small fraction of sales in both the music and film industries, yet discs and Blu-rays are still available as an option. Not everyone needs to use it for it to be worth preserving. Choice matters.

@profprofessorson You're not entitled to have that nickname and not post anything conspiracy theory related. You must be an impostor!

@VeldinX DVDs and CDs sell a lot less but they're still being produced. This is 100% Sony's choice to gain full control of the market.

@AhmadSumadi If only people could like both old and new? But apparently to you the concept of liking multiple things at once is lost.

Such a talented guy. I mean, who else has the ability to scream and overreact to absolutely everything? One of a kind.

PlayStation fans getting a bit of the complete lack of care by Gamefreak when it comes to any polish in their games.

"The first review is in" yay!
"It's Famitsu" ah...

@TheSingularity "I'm a big boy because I defend a multibillion corporation that couldn't care less about me." You're funny in a really sad and pathetic way.

@asdfghjklz 25% O F T H E N A R R A T I V E.
Maybe the spelling will help you.

*Cyabra study found inauthentic accounts were 25% of boycott narrative overall (up to 43% of replies to official PlayStation posts), not almost half the full backlash, and noted genuine accounts drove top engagement."

If you want to be a journalist, maybe minimum research is required.

Can I opt out of this dystopian reality and move on to a better one?

@asdfghjklz There's a rather large gap between ‘not worth £15’ and ‘should be free’. I’m surprised I need to explain that, but here we are.

£15 for three mods. No, thank you.

Quick warning to everyone, there are currently 42 reviews of the game on Metacritic and this is lowest scoring one.

Not saying Stephen is wrong, but clearly there are different opinions.

Why are you defending them? It's their fault they used "all future paid DLC". The language is quite clear and it does not imply only season 1.

There's no room for your assumed interpretation, you just made it up.

Time to retire.

I'm also not worried, but mostly because I don't care about this game. It's one of the most meh games to come out this year. Not great, not terrible, just meh.

So, where are the physical deniers saying no one buys physical discs anymore?

Maybe time to notice you're being manipulated by a corpo that wants monopoly?

@Mr-Cage No offense taken and humble apology accepted . I was just pointing a very obvious solution to a non existent problem.

@Mr-Cage Gaming news website post news about game developer and your reaction is "It's not my kind of news, I don't want to read about it!"

I have the perfect solution: don't click on the article.

@Glassneedles Haha! That's the perfect Dune Awakening experience! It's not Dune if you don't get killed by a sandworm

The first time a sandworm appeared it genuinely frightened me. The soundtrack, the sound effects and the sheer size of it made it feel extremely real and tense.

If you like the Dune universe, I highly recommend it.

ReResident Revil 1: ReRemake

@LifeGirl I think there’s some overlap here, though. The same people who complain that anyone who isn’t Nordic-looking shouldn’t be in GoW because it’s not “realistic” often seem perfectly happy to ignore realism when it suits them. They pick and choose which aspects of “realism” matter depending on whether they support their agenda.

This is absolutely ridiculous. People used to complain that female armors made no sense as they exposed vital parts just for looks. Now the GoW developers make proper armors and some losers complain online. Pathetic.

Vincent is 100% right.

Cassie? New cast? Nathan had his story neatly tied in a bow, I'm glad they're not destroying that.

October, zero horror movies and a crap selection. I guess the real horror is Sony’s consumer related decisions.

I love dystopian news!

@Areus We have. 23% of Wolverine's sales were physical. That's much higher than the normal average.

People can voice they concerns and buy physical, both are important.

@Flaming_Kaiser I agree with your point. But believe me, if I call someone out because they're blindly defending a multibillion dollar corporation, it can be any of them. I have all the consoles in this gen, and all three are screwing this up in different ways. All of them have become more vicious at trying to be profitable and it's a problem.

@Flaming_Kaiser And where in my message I talked about Microsoft? That's right, nowhere.

What you're doing is called projecting.

@AdamNovice “I love Sony, so I’ll only acknowledge the positives and dismiss any criticism without actually engaging with whether it’s valid, because it doesn’t fit my position.” That’s you.

I'm having a blast out of 10!

"Some story elements a touch confusing" So you're saying the story makes a lot more sense than Ace Combat 7's story.

Thanks! I'll download it and proceed to never play it on my phone, but it will be there.

@JLSlone I never said you were trying to censor anyone. I'm pointing out the irony of telling people they're free to have their own opinions while simultaneously lecturing them about how they should react to something.

You can absolutely have your opinion, and so can everyone else. That applies equally to people who think the criticism is perfectly reasonable.

@JLSlone Thanks for the reminder that I'm allowed to have my own opinion. Very gracious of you to let everyone know which opinions we're supposed to have, though. It doesn't come across as pretentious at all.

A reminder that pretty much every other form of media that has gone digital still offers a physical version. Sony wants to eliminate that option and have a monopoly over the digital market.

@RomanRiz No, it's your problem to find something enjoyable or not.

Remember all the Negative Nancys saying that spamming “D3” and asking for Destiny to be revived was cringe?

Guardians make their own fate.

@get2sammyb Very funny, but what I'm saying is quite obvious.

Sony has several interesting first party titles that would make for wonderful consoles and controllers and yet they do this. Priorities.

I don't believe it until I see it, but if true, our voices were heard and it would be a huge Bungie W.

Nintendo is launching a Zelda Switch 2 and Pro Controller while Sony launches this. Wonderful priorities.

Finding an elegant solution is harder than lazy game design apparently.

@Oram77 As someone who played every single mainline FF game... Excuse me?

FFs have always been mostly known for having very involved plots, not side quests. They're there, but they're definitely not FF's focus.

Half of it being boring, meaningless side quests.

@AdamNovice This is conflating innovation with inventing something that has literally never been done before. Nobody is expecting developers to reinvent 3D combat from scratch. There are still plenty of ways to experiment with how existing mechanics interact, encounter design, defence, movement, abilities, environments, etc.

And “people ask for innovation but don't buy it” is a massive generalisation. Which games are you talking about? There are innovative games that sell well and incredibly safe, derivative games that don't.

The fact that 3D action games have existed for 30 years doesn't mean we've exhausted the design space either. Shooters and fighting games have existed for decades and somehow developers still find ways to do interesting things with them.

And “these things take time and money” isn't really an argument against criticism. Obviously they take time and money, it doesn't mean players have to pretend the end result is more innovative than it actually is.

So, they support physical after all?
