@LifeGirl i genuinely don’t think this was testing it. It wouldn’t make sense to do it with out of date stuff. Because that’s not really testing anything if everything ‘added’ is messy.
I do agree ads will come. Once one does it the other will follow.
If it’s monster hunter style that could be interesting. Otherwise I’m not really sure unless it’s mmo how it would work (but there’s not much variety in characters). Sonys Elder scrolls?
Obviously I’d rather the 3rd if the single player games
I may know about it and be excited for it, but knowing the MHWilds date was awesome. Plus it looks amazing.
Then yotei.
Also interested in lunar, hell is us, HZD, dragon age (want to see reviews as may wait for sale) Lego to name a few. And I would like to see more about archeage.
If they didn’t raise the price it would mean anyone could get the new version for £25. So yeah it makes sense. But to counter that it has been given away for free too.
Everyone will bleat on about horizon, but it has the £10 upgrade and we know it would have been to go alongside tv show. Surprised no reveal for days gone.
At this point. Who in life doesn’t have your data? I’d be here all day trying to list the things you have given your info over to.
It’s fake outrage is all. Doesn’t matter if it’s Sony or whoever. It’s pretty pathetic.
Edit - that’s without mentioning the fact the people who bought it knew in advance it would require an account and they still CHOSE to purchase it knowing that fact.
@SeanOhOgain unfortunately at the minute there seems to be a lot of hot takes on the site where there is an immediate article put up without much actual thought around the whole situation. And misses so much context.
When they stop and think before the article is written there is usually some very good points in there.
Subscription has stalled (not just for ms but Sony also). Most GP users are still on console. So to boost those numbers they currently need to be selling consoles.
Now I’m not saying MS are doomed but it shows why they are heading multiplatform and most likely why ‘Xbox’ will be rebranded as MS gaming’
Horizon/last of us/ until dawn I understand because of Sony saying they want to boost IP outside of games.
So having a brand new shiny horizon to run on a pro/ps5 when the new series (should have) released makes commercial sense. To bring in new players.
If Days gone is true, that is one I can’t understand. Because there is no tie in or second game.
Article also doesn’t touch on the fact that Sony have just let another company use one of there IPs in freedom wars, maybe this will become part of the strategy for things like killzone/wipeout etc.
So yeah I understand the logic behind some (whether I’m interested or not) and my general opinion is that I’d rather new games over remasters/makes.
@crossbit yet when this went into production there was a tv series for Netflix/amazon or wherever.
So yes just like The last of us they were releasing a game alongside it.
Potentially getting those who hadn’t played it but watched the show to go out and buy the ps5 version.
If people are totally ambivalent they can ignore it. Just like they can the pro or one of the many games that get released each week that they don’t play or complain about.

Re: PS5 Pro 'Absolutely Rocks', According to No Man's Sky Engine Programmer
@LifeGirl caveat there is ‘to you’. Everyone has different levels of ‘worth’.
If it sells 10% of total lifetime ps5 sales I can imagine Sony would be happy enough.
People wanted options, Sony gave them the option
Re: Sony Product Manager Urges PS5 Fans to 'Settle Down' Over Ads
@ED_209 clearly Sony hate square.
SE wouldn’t let Astro bot use their characters. So Sony got their own back!!
Re: Sony Product Manager Urges PS5 Fans to 'Settle Down' Over Ads
For all the ‘it was a test’ crowd.
Did you actually get any ads for a game you don’t own? Because everything I’ve seen seems to be only for games they already own?
Re: Sony Product Manager Urges PS5 Fans to 'Settle Down' Over Ads
@LifeGirl i genuinely don’t think this was testing it. It wouldn’t make sense to do it with out of date stuff. Because that’s not really testing anything if everything ‘added’ is messy.
I do agree ads will come. Once one does it the other will follow.

Re: Forgiving Gamers Are Contributing to The Day Before Devs' New Kickstarter
Sites should have a duty to not post articles on scams.
End of the day some people are vulnerable and places like EG/PS etc should not be giving these guys free publicity.
Re: PS5 Firmware Update Annoys with Unwanted Deluge of Ads, News Feed
There was nothing on mine as of yesterday.
But if it’s true. And it comes in.
I don’t like it on my Series S, so I’ll be just as against it on my ps5. We pay some serious money to these companies. Ad’s should not be there.
But once one company does it the other will follow. Expect a PSplus price rise too.
Re: Sony's Live Service Push 'No Joke', A Lot of People Working on Horizon Online
@LifeGirl I agree Sony doesn’t have a good mascot. There’s potential for Astro bot.
If agree Zelda Mario Pokémon for Nintendo. And sonic for sega potentially
Master chief for Xbox? I don’t believe the average person would make that connection in all honesty.
So I think there’s only Nintendo that have found that. And sonic but I reckon many younger gamers wouldn’t associate it with Sega.
Re: Sony's Live Service Push 'No Joke', A Lot of People Working on Horizon Online
I’m curious to hear more about it.
If it’s monster hunter style that could be interesting. Otherwise I’m not really sure unless it’s mmo how it would work (but there’s not much variety in characters). Sonys Elder scrolls?
Obviously I’d rather the 3rd if the single player games
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 548
I picked up both avatar and stellar blade, after trading in some games.
So will be avatar this weekend as going to wait for the nier update for SB
Re: Poll: Did You Pre-Order a PS5 Pro?
I’m waiting to see what MHWilds runs like on standard/pro.
I’m interested, I’d just do a couple of days overtime. Then besides a few hours of my time I’d be no worse off.
Re: Newly Signed Law May Restrict Sony's Use of Terms Like 'Buy' or 'Purchase' for Digital Games
Wont change a thing. Nothing. It’s just so lawmakers can look tough.
There will just be a new line in the terms and conditions or an appendix on the buying page.
Re: Over 10 Hours of Horizon Zero Dawn Dialogue Has Been Re-Recorded for PS5, PC
For the work that appears to have gone into it, it’s well worth the £10 upgrade.
Fantastic game, one of my favourites of the ps4 era

Re: Horizon Zero Dawn PS4's Price Doubles After PS5 Remaster Announcement
£8 in CeX for complete edition
Re: All Eyes on Aloy (Again), as Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered Comparison Does the Rounds
@Pushsquarian you can’t see any of their comments. (Not sure if they can see mine as have never blocked anyone for having a different opinion)
For instance you are comment #43. If you had me blocked my comments would have #42 #44 with your one not there
Re: All Eyes on Aloy (Again), as Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered Comparison Does the Rounds
@Weebleman @Kidfunkadelic83 I think many are blocked. I believe they don’t like it if you have a differing view.
Crazy when people can’t deal with others having a difference of opinion.
Re: Ubisoft Board Orders Internal Investigation and Review into Company's Financial Woes
I get people going oh it’s Ubisoft it’s woke it’s only shareholder’s blah blah.
But they are the money men. They will just cut back or even look to sell. Potentially putting them into MS hands.
Be careful what you wish for.
Re: Ubisoft 'Fully Mobilised' After Soft Star Wars Outlaws PS5 Sales
Are they becoming the next SE? Where everything doesn’t meet expectations?
But to drop it in Feb alongside MHwilds, Avowed, even civ7. - obviously different audiences but they are long awaited games for many.
Re: PS5's Ghost of Yotei Triggers Social Media, Ex-Sony Exec Says 'If You Don't Like It, Don't Buy It'
At some point it should become a websites duty to not give these tweet’s reposts/screen grabs whatever and make articles on them.
Stop giving them airtime and a bigger platform. Nothing good ever comes of it.
It isn’t news, it isn’t helpful, it’s best to leave them ignored where their thoughts aren’t shared, because they aren’t reading these comments.
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Delayed on PS5 Until 14th February
2 weeks before MHWilds?
Sorry Ubisoft it means it will be bought further down the line.
Re: Your Horizon Zero Dawn PS4 Progress Will Transition to PS5 Remaster
Think I may have missed it.
I have the complete edition with the dlc. Is that part of the upgrade path? Is the dlc included in the ps5 version?
Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Sony's State of Play for September 2024?
Very good.
Lots of interesting stuff.
Some good ps1 games coming.
Even VR had some good stuff.
Everyone will bleat on about horizon, but it has the £10 upgrade and we know it would have been to go alongside tv show. Surprised no reveal for days gone.

Re: Sony Appears to Leak Many Games from State of Play
@OldGamer999 you flip flop way to much on a show.
Re: Sony Appears to Leak Many Games from State of Play
@HarmanSmith not a chance. Neither with tlou imo
Re: Sony Appears to Leak Many Games from State of Play
@Americansamurai1 @get2sammyb
More likely that along with Astro/ stellar blade/ AW2 will be announcing PRO day1 update to the ‘PRO label’ or whatever they called it.
Potentially HZD day 1 pro?

Re: God of War Ragnarok PC Mod Removes PSN Login Requirement
@KoopaTheGamer
If I don’t want to sign up to things. Know what I do? I don’t buy something that requires me to sign up.
Re: God of War Ragnarok PC Mod Removes PSN Login Requirement
@NEStalgia
Let me know when you figure out who has your data. All the accounts you have signed upto, and then the 3rd parties those sites deal with.
And I guarantee there’s a lot more worrying companies than Sony having it.

Re: Scalpers Want $10k to Try to Buy You a 30th Anniversary PS5 Pro
Shouldn’t be giving this kind of thing any attention in any way shape or form.
Potentially encouraging more to try it.
Re: God of War Ragnarok PC Review Bombed Over PSN Requirement
@johnedwin there’s your problem. You are reading YouTube comments
Re: God of War Ragnarok PC Review Bombed Over PSN Requirement
@species pc players do have an MS account and many many more.
Re: God of War Ragnarok PC Review Bombed Over PSN Requirement
Thank god PC owners only probably have -
MS, steam, epic, battle net, Bethesda, SE, Ubisoft, EA, take2(r*) plus streaming subs, phone contracts.
But god forbid if Sony asks them to sign up, even says it before purchase.
Re: Rumour: Concord Cost $400 Million, Sony Believed It Was the 'Future of PlayStation'
I wonder if it’s actually 400million during its (intended) lifetime.
Much like they expect Gta6 to be 2billion across its lifetime.

Re: The Novelty of PlayStation's PC Ports Does Appear to Be Dampening
When you are selling 10million plus on your main console the numbers are always going to be pretty low 12-24months later.
Not to mention the fact it’s a sequel and they always perform worse in sales/play through etc.
Re: PS5's Commanding Console Position Is Seemingly Insurmountable
@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare
The play anywhere etc currently isn’t working.
Subscription has stalled (not just for ms but Sony also). Most GP users are still on console. So to boost those numbers they currently need to be selling consoles.
Now I’m not saying MS are doomed but it shows why they are heading multiplatform and most likely why ‘Xbox’ will be rebranded as MS gaming’

Re: Minecraft Is Dropping PSVR Support Early Next Year
They probably have figures showing few people are playing. Be a financial decision
Re: Sony Priming 'Even Less Exciting' PS5 Remaster for State of Play
@WhensDinner because it would have coincided with the series (that got cancelled)
The exact same as Sony did with the last of us.
And how people don’t understand this is beyond me when Sony themselves even said they want to take IP beyond gaming
Re: PS5 Exclusives Final Fantasy 16, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Failed to Meet Expectations
SE always have stupid expectations that we know they don’t meet.
I don’t think it will do loads better multi platform. A little maybe.
To muddy the waters Sony will be paying a premium to have it as an exclusive which SE would then lose. So have to sell more for the same money.
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's Huge PS5 Pro Enhancements Are a 'Vast Improvement'
It does look so much sharper and cleaner.
Need to see a lot more games for it to become worthwhile to myself (or some good bundles)
But for those that want fps and graphics it’s a promising start.
Re: Horizon Zero Dawn's PS5, PC Remaster Is Very Much the Real Deal

Re: Horizon Zero Dawn's PS5, PC Remaster Is Very Much the Real Deal
@AdamNovice @get2sammyb
Adam gets it. Sony have recently said they want to expand the IPs etc. so it would have been done to coincide. Bit like the last of us.
But the internet likes to lose its mind over something they can ignore.
