@HonestHick everyone knew CoD would sell. It does every year.
What hasn’t happened is those playing on steam moving to GPU. There was 0 mention in the lead up to release that console sales were increasing.
It will make MS lots of money, but you would imagine they wanted to get people into their ecosystem but it looks like people are just carrying on playing how they usually would.
Really hate that websites keep giving scammers time of day.
There’s hundreds of games that get 0 attention.
Yet these get lots of articles.
Websites should be better. They should give 0 headline time or have the article covered in warnings that it’s a potential scam. And there is a history of scam.
It looked good, I’ll be playing it on GPU so it’s no added financial cost.
I enjoy souls types but there’s too many that have jumped on the trend. There needs to be a healthy mix of Souls/GoW/DMC type games and we don’t seem to be getting that.
Companies are going to start seeing player fatigue on them soon and the ‘average’ releases are going to start being affected in sales. (A la Ubisoft as an example)
@Medic_alert I’ve just learned to switch off from it. Unless it’s extremely choppy or just downright bad.
But I always think companies should keep offering a choice of 30/60 (for those who are legit sensitive to it) rather than just their ‘artistic vision’ of 30
@HonestHick isn’t ghost 2 only ps5? So how cross gen? Or are you trying to claim pro is a new gen?
1 in a year? So forgetting Astro bot? And I guess concord?
Pretty sure EG also ran an article on the potential of Halo being in ps5 due to switch to unreal5.
FYI not disagreeing with you, there is a lot of console war click bait. But as with over on PX the only articles that get any REAL amount of comments are ones that are to do with PS.
@__jamiie there is a massive difference between developing a console that will sell probably 5-10million in its lifecycle, to a ps6 which Sony would be hoping does close to 100milluon.
Who knows where the world will be in 3-4years time regarding what things cost.
If you don’t want the pro. Ignore it. It’s easy to do.

Re: After a Tough Few Months, Sony Says It'll Keep Making PS5 Live Service Games
@OldGamer999 it’s not a 30% increase at all. You miss a lot of factors.
People who own a PC/PS and Xbox. Already have access.
Sony would have to scale down to the series S (I’m assuming here no 1st party titles are going previous gen)
And the fact that at most 20% of owners actually buy a game.
That 30milliom has quickly dropped to 4-5m. Not insignificant but far different numbers.
And Sony will probably only release 1 or 2 a year. They are NOT Microsoft. They don’t own an unlimited amount of studios.
Re: PS5, PC Flop Concord Never Returning, Studio Closed Down
The article doesn’t really say. (Or I missed it)
Have the whole studio lost their jobs? Or joining other teams or anything?
Re: Monster Hunter Wilds' Beta Is Prompting Fans to Reconsider PS5 Pro
Yet to play it.
But hopefully they can optimise it better as it’s the same engine that struggled with DD2.
I say hopefully, but they better!
Re: UK Sales Charts: Call of Duty Remains Steady on PS5, PS4 Despite Black Ops 6's Xbox Game Pass Inclusion
88% is pretty low.
No PC in that v Series X only (which makes up only half of the series console) and where most of those probably had GP.
It was always going to sell. Because that’s what yearly franchises do. And it actuall Seems like this years entry is worth playing over recent ones.

Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard (PS5) - The Best BioWare Game Since Mass Effect 3
@KundaliniRising333 why does skill up hold more weight than the numerous places that score well?
After all it’s just his opinion as well.

@get2sammyb you guys not doing a CoD review? It’s had the weekend for multiplayer
Re: Spider-Man 2, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart PS5 Pro Updates Include Ray Tracing Toggles
@Andy22385 mate it was sarcasm. It’s just the complaining we see on every article of the pro
Re: Spider-Man 2, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart PS5 Pro Updates Include Ray Tracing Toggles
@AgentGuapo I guess sarcasm isn’t your strong point?
Enjoy it. I’m sure you will have a lot of fun with it!
Re: Spider-Man 2, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart PS5 Pro Updates Include Ray Tracing Toggles
@colonelkilgore that may depend on how MHwilds releases on ps5 v Pro.
That will be my deal breaker I think.
Until then I’m tighter than a ducks a*se. So unless Santa is real and puts one in my stocking I will be holding off!
Re: Spider-Man 2, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart PS5 Pro Updates Include Ray Tracing Toggles
@Rich33 yeah I just wanted to save themselves the effort.
Re: Spider-Man 2, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart PS5 Pro Updates Include Ray Tracing Toggles
$ony ripping off players. Can’t see any difference. Not worth £700. A PC does it better.
Think I’ve covered most complaints there so everyone can save themselves some time.
Re: Xbox Fans Really Want a Port of PS5, PC Hit Helldivers 2
@Major_Player it just doesn’t work because 90% of the games are 3rd party.
If MS did a first party GP tier specially for PlayStation that may work. ( and Sony could do the same)
But then at that point, they may as well just collab and design a console between them.
Re: Xbox Fans Really Want a Port of PS5, PC Hit Helldivers 2
The argument for it needing to Be on GP makes absolutely zero sense. It’s a terrible argument and strange logic to jump to.
I think however it is too late for it to go to Xbox and make a big difference.
Re: Mini Review: MechWarrior 5: Clans (PS5) - An Obsolete Model
@awp69 thanks I’m not one for co-op guess I’ll give it a whirl on gp.
Re: Mini Review: MechWarrior 5: Clans (PS5) - An Obsolete Model
@awp69 can it be played single player or is it co-op?
Re: Microsoft CEO Says More Xbox Games Will Come to PS5, Hours After Rumours Said Porting Project Was Paused
Technically it might not be anymore games for ps5.
Could just be talking about switch(2) and various other tvs etc following fire stick.
But yeah the whole messaging is just messy.
Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Offers $20 Premium 'Pay-to-Hear' Audio Tech
@Nexozi you beat me by 20 minutes I was looking for this comment!
Shame on PS for not doing full fact check.
Hopefully the article gets updated

Re: Sep 2024 USA Sales: Astro Bot PS5 a Top Seller, Only FC 25 Above It
@NoHope it’s how it’s always done.
Because you can only use the information that is available. And this is what is released.
At worst astrobot would drop to 4th. Which is pretty good for a platformer on one console vs the big sports franchises.
Re: These Horizon Zero Dawn PS5 Comparisons Are Absolutely Insane
@OldGamer999 Sony don’t have a huge number of studios/publishers.
They are never going to release many per year.
Need to get that idea out of your head.
Re: 1,000+ PS5, PS4 Games on Sale in New PS Store Promo
Sandland forspoken tactics ogre smt are all cheaper physical so shop around.
Highly recommend tactics ogre, unicorn overlord can’t be praised enough either.
Re: PlayStation, Bungie Still Going Ahead with Internal Live Service Team
Regardless of thoughts on live service. This does make good business sense.
Re: In Europe, 78% of Silent Hill 2 Copies Were Purchased on PS5
@Msw130 I understand you have signed up to try and troll.
But you know people have an interest in seeing what does well, where friends might be playing, the type of games people buy and so on
Re: Like It or Not, This Is Why PS5 Pro Doesn't Have a Disc Drive
Really weird how the article says if GP downloads were included then digital would be higher.
Surely it’s the exact same if psplus figures were to be included?
Re: Expedition 33 Dev Confirms $50 Price Is Correct, '30+ Hours of Main Game'
It’s not exactly the first time AA game has released at £50.
Gamers are weird that they are singling this out.
Re: Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered Sounds Like a Ridiculously Good PS5 Upgrade
As always people can’t see the wood for the trees.
Sony have already explained they want to take games beyond a machine to tv/movies. Oh and this game had a cancelled tv show!
Who would have thought that just like Tlou they would want new people who are brought into the world to play a best version.
If you have played it or don’t like it or don’t want to play it. Just you know ignore it? Like you do for a billion other games you don’t whine about.
Sony get nothing from you and those that want to upgrade and replay can enjoy it.

Re: Poll: Are You Using the PS5's New Welcome Hub?
I don’t really see the point?
I know my battery life by pressing the ps button.
But I customised it to storage, battery life and new to plus. Keep it minimum as possible
Re: Fans Can't Fathom Why PS5 RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Is So Cheap
It’s on GP so probably want it to sell on ps too.
It’s an AA game, AA game are often priced cheaper it isn’t a new thing.

Re: UK Sales Charts: Silent Hill 2, Dragon Ball's Physical Copies Topple Metaphor in Massive Week
Is the fifa 25 71% digital included or just physical?
Because if it’s digital/physical that’s a huge number, but physical only probably much smaller % than I’d expect (due to sheer number of series S v X)

A good game releases (that appears not to be in total bad state) and people buy it!
Re: PS5 May Soon Be Unchallenged by Xbox in Some Regions
@HonestHick it says everywhere including the PlayStation blog its built for ps5.
So no idea where you heard these ‘rumours’ they don’t show up anywhere.
I enjoy my S and get my value from GPU, so I hope MS continue with consoles as I know for sure I won’t be streaming games until I have no choice!

Re: PS5 May Soon Be Unchallenged by Xbox in Some Regions
@IOI so what is Microsoft’s excuse for releasing a £550 series X?
Hopefully MS keep selling everywhere even if it is low numbers.
Re: Acclaimed PS5 Platformer Astro Bot Really Couldn't Be Selling Any Better
@LifeGirl if we take concord into the equation does that mean Sony are losing money on the tvs they sell?

Re: Until Dawn (PS5) - Killer Teen Slasher Snags a Pricey New-Gen Remake
@Dman10 rumours of a sequel and in the short term more likely because of the movie?
The fact PC hasn’t got it is probably just an added bonus.
Re: Random: Internet Trolls Tried to Downgrade Our Silent Hill 2 PS5 Review Score
@LifeGirl there has been a lot of discourse around the release.
You only need half a brain cell in this case to realise it’s not just been done for ‘funsies’ by a troll
Re: Random: Internet Trolls Tried to Downgrade Our Silent Hill 2 PS5 Review Score
Ahh the internet.
Should have to pass tests to be allowed to use it.
First question being - are you a f*cktard?
Re: PS5 Pro Boost Is Pretty Clear Cut in The Last of Us 2 Remastered Comparison Video
For years ‘gamers’ have been saying I want fps and graphics. I want XYZ.
Sony gives them the option. ‘Gamers’ there’s no difference.
Guarantee had this been £500 everyone would be able to see the differences.
Re: First Review Scores for PS5's Metaphor: ReFantazio, Silent Hill 2 Are Glowing
@Shepherd_Tallon @RudeAnimat0r I believe for some it goes back to ff13 and ff10-2? They got like perfect 40’s.
I could well be wrong!
Re: Report Finds Lack of Star Wars Outlaws Sales Disturbing
Personally the stealth has put me off.
In general people are going to have to start looking at subscriptions.
Look how many say I’ll wait for it to hit plus/gp. Or I’m glad I waited for it to hit a sub as I wasn’t sure on it etc.
For me this is what is starting to cause issues. There’s so much choice on subscriptions they don’t need to pay £70 or whatever.
Starfield only had 13million Players, not even sales (this was on a graphic few months ago) and that’s for a tentpole AAA first party studio.
SE saying nothing is hitting targets, gamers are just spending less on new purchases.
And casuals are throwing it at micro transactions. - and then people wonder why Sony want a slice.
