Sorry for all those undeservingly losing their jobs from this scandalous decision.

Honestly can’t understand the rationale behind this. And Sony deserves all the criticism that will come.

Monster hunter world plays well still. As does horizon zero dawn ( to name 2) on ps4

Why would people be excited to spend potentially £6-800 ? For what is going to be a smaller technological leap? Probably an increase in game prices and subscription too?

Ps5 works well. And considering that we still get ps4/xbone games released, where’s the rush?

All live service games should be on every platform. It’s the only real way to keep them viable.

Micro transactions aside the numbers aren’t huge for sales. Especially as it’s at a low price point

I’d be surprised for a shadow drop. It doesn’t fit Sonys style.

Call it now ‘worst SoP ever’ will be mentioned lots. Regardless if it is or isn’t. And it will be negative afterwards.

@ED_209 guess I’ll keep my eye out then. Ty.

I enjoy horizon. Both games were good. Played zero dawn 4/5times now.

If there was a single player element I’d be curious.

Thought it was debunked?

It’s from when Sony gave some accounts $5 or whatever

I agree.

How often do sites say X game is good then users reviews are opposite. (Case in point highguard for a recent one).

It’s also true of studios who pay for reviews and select certain outlets only - there’s plenty of let’s say ‘who’ (because no one uses them) that give 95-100 scores to games that clearly aren’t

@RBMango surprisingly that’s not terrible.

Compare it to something like horizon (or any game, this just popped in my head) and many have a relatively low trophy count

Assuming the reviews say it isn’t a technical mess on PS (I don’t think it will be) then I shall be buying it.

I’m curious about it, but it just feels like it’s going to be a 7/10 good but not great

Really looking forward to this and will most likely buy it on PS.

If it delivers what they promised then I believe it’s going to be there or thereabouts for GoTY.

@Titntin holy ***** I play that game. No
Spending mind you haha

Quite enjoyed the first one.

But for me it’s certainly a wait for reviews game.

Don’t most companies remove the older versions once they release an updated one?

It’s not a new practice

@naruball yeah that made no sense to me either. Plenty of games get reduced within a year, some within a month or 2!

Unhappy.
Bought my partner mickey as one of her Christmas presents!! Yes you can all thank me for my sacrifice!

Nah it’s a decent selection

Everything certainly is an Xbox. Especially the green one.

Should also point out Ps5 was also down 12% but this is probably more expected at this point in the lifetime.

It’s a shame what is happening to the Xbox brand.

@Northern_munkey they announced a while back from 26 the free games would all be ps5

(I guess to try budgeting some of those last hold outs of ps4 only users)

I feel that’s too many. Would become repetitive. One every 2years is enough.

If there’s no exclusive then Nintendo MS and Sony can come together and just create one console.

Nothing to worry over then right?

Merry Christmas everyone

If you have disc drive pretty much everything is cheaper physical in the UK.

Im just going to throw this out there.

E33 released in April. Within days it was announced AI was found/used.

Indie award nominees were months and months later. And apparently absolutely no one realised? Not even the other nominees?

Yeah it’s all dodgy.

Im going to feel massively let down if they do not reply to all the questions with AI.

@Flaming_Kaiser I got 70hpurs out of it at launch.

Personally I’d wait for a discount, £40-50 is worth it. But I have a feeling this may be a ‘complete’ edition with the dlcs - so may increase the value.

It was well OK? A 7/10. Some good stuff. Some really really poor stuff.

Unlike fallout or elder scrolls it’s just never been one that I’ve thought I need to go back and play it again,

I think it’s another Sony live service failure.

Luckily for bungie it can’t be as bad as concord. But it most likely means Sony will take full control of Bumgie - now will that be good for destiny 3?

@KillerIsD34D

Considering it’s a pvp game. Then yes it’s online.

Afraid to say but I will also be one of those missing it.

As always they believe it’s just designed around North America

@arto pretty much nothing. It’s not going to fit.

It’s a shame. Don’t want to see anyone losing their jobs.

(I’m not taking aim at this studio here) but games need to be finished and not a mess on release. Word spreads quickly online, and very little after the fact work can limit the damage already done.

There’s so many games released weekly (often see 40+ in the coming this week thread here) that your game has to stand out.

@pushsquare a little idea for reviews.

Could you possibly put the price in at the bottom? Saves having to go online and search for it

FYI it doesn’t mean BF6 sales are trending upwards.

Infact they could (probably are) be down, it’s just that other games are selling even less.

If you haven’t bought a current gen machine yet. Now is firmly the time.

You wait for next year and they won’t be this price.

@Medic_alert

Varies studio to studio. If you get on GP it’s highly likely you are onto a winner, but if you are one of the many indie games that get rejected then it’s far more difficult to get noticed (plus realistically there’s too many games released each week)

Subscription has its place. And I’m slightly surprised it’s looking like the PlayStation way seems to be the best. Release games and add later.

When in all honesty you would imagine that people would want it the other way round for finances!

@themightyant

Fully agree, got to compare the closest possible. plus this company is notorious for unreliability. To the degree that sites won’t use their data.

This is what happens when a game has competition and your game comes in a little weak.

Obviously it’s on Gamepass, but it was last year too so it skews the numbers, but gamepass itself has also just changed, so I wonder if it’s doing as well there.

@themightyant yeah I’d agree with this logic.

They won’t know a running order etc until April at the earliest then try and fit the sounds and handling and looks of new car by July? Would be a mess

This is what happens when it has good competition.

COD has rested on its laurels, others have improved.

Overall, I’m sure it will still sell plenty.

@BacklogBrad obviously not. I clearly meant they just don’t employ the people who usually do the artwork that has been replaced with ai.

But sure.

@BacklogBrad like you I’m not overly fussed. It’s happening and that’s that. Regardless how ***** it looks.

Your issue however is the very last sentence. The human talent isn’t being used elsewhere. They simply aren’t being used.

Damn only a 5? Was interested too. Guess I’ll wait

@Oram77 depends which way the wind is blowing at the time pro Sony or pro Xbox.

Sold and re bought series X 3 or 4 times. I’d genuinely be surprised if they even own a console.

Will be wolverine in their eyes.

Because it’s late in the cycle so will use ps5 to the max.

Obviously to most others it will be gta6

Literally just rotated every 3/6months between PSplus and Gamepass.

Will be a regular thing.

Considering the console version is even worse, SI have shat the bed big time. There’s videos of the match engine running in single digit fps on series X.

First time that I’ve worried there may not be a next FM.
