Looks like 99Vidas

Torn?? The only reason anyone would be torn is bc it took them a long time to find a ps5 or paid a lot to get one and now their console is about to be obsolete.

100+ million PS4s sold with probably a solid 35+ million still in regular use. And until that number dips below 20 million or so we're gonna get cross-gen games.

To the author. Thank you for writing about "offline, local multiplayer" bc it's important and played more often than people realize. The suggestion I would like to make is it would be more interesting if this was "exclusive to Playstation (with the exception of PC), co-op, versus or both". And keep the sport sims out of it too. It's a challenge but or starters and consideration I can think of some to talk about: Alienation, Dead Nation, Dragon's Crown, Fat Princess, Helldivers, I Am The Hero, Viking Squad, GigaBash...

Solid 8, good not great episode. I really wanted them to encounter more than one infected but it's a show and not the game. Storytelling takes priority and not gameplay.

And publicizing their behavior on social media just reinforces it by making them famous (in their own mind). Report to the site and block them.

@get2sammyb If I own the original PSVR and play it on the PS5, is the upgrade in comfort of the headset and quality of games a humongous difference or slight improvement?

Ive said “good bye” how many times and you kept replying? I never edit, no sense in being grammar police in this day and age or youll drive yourself crazy. Truths be tolds 😆 I was messing with you on the last reply bc you were with me. Anyhow, I guess VR headsets are consoles too. Of course not. I rest my case.
Good bye. 😊

@TeaCatherine Truth always prevail.

@TeaCatherine Ive given plenty of explanation why they're not the same. The articles title is misleading as best selling console crown.
One. Handheld is not console. Otherwise smartphone/tablets are to be included. No exceptions or excuses.
Two. Apples to oranges, handheld cost less than a home console.
Three. Smartphones/tablets are the top selling gaming platform of all time which by all definitions are handheld gaming devices but are not a console.
Why does these facts bother you so much that you can't accept them?

@TeaCatherine I never said underpowered or require more effort phrasing or wording together at all. You're confusing this convo with someone else. Idk. But I'm certainly not taking any offense here. Handhelds are simply an all-in-one portable gaming device and consoles are home gaming devices that require external power, screen and controller to play.
It's not that hard to understand.
Good bye, again.

@TeaCatherine I rarely edit but I'm just stating facts. Your argument is opinion based.
I never said or implied handheld gaming devices are counted differently bc they're unpowered. Where did that come from? As a matter of fact, I said several times that tech and power specs do not matter in differentiating between portable handheld gaming device vs permanent home gaming console.
Good bye.

@TeaCatherine I'm not trying to win. I'm just stating the obvious and facts.
Ports go both ways, more so from mobile to console and handhelds.
Illustrate the differences and ppl including industry types will agree with me. The uniformed will agree with you.
Good bye.

@TeaCatherine If you're sick of facts then stop replying and arguing. It's not a blanket industry opinion and the industry knows there's a distinct difference. Games are developed and/or ported specifically for each category market: PC, console, handheld, mobile. And revenue is calculated in each category. And Xbox this gen is promoting gaming on PC, console, handheld and mobile. This is fact.
FTR, you just agreed with me only to disagree with yourself by saying "...okay, I know some games get mobile ports...". It's absolutely relevant right now. And it's more than "some games" too. Switch is swimming in shovelware with mobile ports and consoles are starting too as well.
And yes. Consoles are just older tech from PC, and Handhelds are older tech from consoles. This is not new info but maybe you need to hear it.

@TeaCatherine To my knowledge the PS1 did not come boxed in with a LCD screen built-in, it was an add-on accessory sold separately that attached to the console. And the console still required an external power source and separate controller to play. Those facts still make it a console and not a "handheld" or portable gaming device. Portable means to walk about freely.
As I've said before, tech and specs do not matter. <-Read that again. All gaming devices are mini computers. Does not matter how they're marketed. Mobile gaming on smartphones is larger in use and revenue than console and PC gaming. Video games are video games no matter where you play them.
All that matters is there's a huge difference and belong in separate categories and "most sold" lists. Handheld-portable-gaming-device or home (or plugged into a cigarette lighter lol) permanent console. Devices with a built-in screen, controller, speaker, and battery vs none of the above do not belong in the same list otherwise smartphone devices have to be included as well.
Good bye.

@TeaCatherine Lol. I'm not heated over this but stand firm on the mischaracterization. This list is comparing Apple's to Orange's. The tech and specs have nothing to do with it. All that matters is portable vs permanent; built-in screen, controller, speaker, and battery vs none of the above. The Nintendo Switch DOCK is a charging cradle w/ video output and does not make the Switch a console bc the hardware is not built into the dock. The WiiU is a console, the Switch is handheld.
If any list is calling handheld gaming devices "consoles" then it must include smartphones/tablets too (which meet the criteria described in the wikipedia you shared) but also as the number one selling console of all time.

@TeaCatherine Wikipedia is irrelevant bc anyone can edit their opinion/agenda into it. However, even this describes handhelds and consoles as two different types of gaming systems. The only error is handhelds are not consoles.

@TeaCatherine It's either a portable handheld gaming device or a stationary console. The technologies used does not matter bc the chips, etc all come from the same manufactures.
Consoles are stationary gaming devices that require a separate TV/screen and controllers.
A portable gaming device is a handheld has a built in screen and controller. A charging dock with a video output does not make it a console.

@TeaCatherine You can't say the Switch is a console and then then say the Steam Deck is not. All this tech is basically mini PC.

@TeaCatherine Nothing to concede. You can't have it both ways. Mobile gaming is larger than console gaming.

@TeaCatherine Handheld gaming devices are not consoles. If it is then iPhones, iPads, and other like devices are consoles too.

@NEStalgia The distinction is clear and nothing’s arbitrary. It’s portable or it's not. PSVitaTV does not have a built-in screen, no built-in controller, and is simply not a portable gaming device like its better-known version. Even though its tech is mostly identical to the PSVita (handheld) it was not 100% compatible with all PSVita games. Regardless, PSVitaTV is a console and not a handheld just bc it shares tech.
I'm stating the defining differences in functionality such as portability or stationary, console or handheld. And I’m not comparing the differences in power specs, especially from decade-old 2006 tech (PS3) to 2017* tech (Switch). *Outdated tech compared to competing devices.
The WiiU “console” is an excellent example as I explained in the previous comment. The Switch DOCK has no tech built in to play anything w/o the actual hardware of the handheld being placed into it. Again, the dock does not make the Switch a console, it’s a portable handheld gaming device with a charging cradle and video output. If there was a dedicated, stationary Nintendo gaming console with Switch hardware, like the PSVitaTV, no built-in screen, no joy-cons, and had to be connected to a TV and played with pro controllers then it would be a console.

@NEStalgia The WiiU was Nintendo's last console. The tech was built into the console and you could play games w/o the WiiU Gamepad. The Gamepad could play games but had to be within range of the console to function. A true dual-functioning system. Underrated IMO.
The Switch is the opposite. The tech is built into the portable gamepad and the dock is a glorified charger with video output that can not play anything w/o the unit being docked. If we could play w/o then it would be a console. On a side note, this is what I think Nintendo does next, a two-part system that can be purchased together or separately.
Tech built into a stationary unit is a console.
Tech built into a portable device is handheld.
This is the difference and the industry should acknowledge it as such.

SWITCH is a HANDHELD and NOT a CONSOLE just bc it can plug into the TV. Nintendo already admitted it is primarily used in handheld mode. The graphics are subpar, especially in DOCK mode bc the tech is last-gen. If it is to be considered a console then iPads and other devices have to be as well.

Wait for the redesign at this point.

@Would_you_kindly The game director's role/duties are to meet deadlines, supervise, and review the development process, not create or write. However, anyone working outside of their contracted role and responsibilities such as the game director volunteering their time to make creative art and writing suggestions does not entitle them to be credited especially in another format they had nothing to do with. Neil was the creative director and all aspects of the story had to be approved by him. And he had been working on the foundation of the story since 2001. Game development and film production are two different things and Bruce had nothing to do with HBO's show.

Straley was the director and I think was more involved in the 1’s and 0’s coding the game. Druckman was the creative director and had been working on this story since 2001 in college.
Straley getting credit in the show may not be deserved. Otherwise he would be getting a royalty payment for doing nothing.

@InternetUser Then you need glasses bc DS is iconic like the movies ALIEN and The Thing but on Blu-ray.

@KundaliniRising333 DeadSpace remake is like ALIEN and The Thing getting 4K on Blu-ray. This game is unquestionably a classic worthy of being mentioned in the same sentence as those movies.

@Futureshark Played and finished DS3 recently for the first time and it's far better than the critics and armchair keyboard critics said. It's action horror but in DS universe.

They changed it to throw ppl off and the marketing worked, ppl are talking about it.

@ORO_ERICIUS Clearly an ad aimed at teens and 20-somethings

If Factions was there day one full price. Otherwise I’ll wait for a sub $40 sale.

It should've had the 2009 Re-Shelled TMNT game.
But why would anyone want this collection after Shredder's Revenge?

We prefer quality over quantity my friends. PSN has become inundated with cheap and easy plats.

@nessisonett Neil Druckman will even tell you TLoU does not have zombies.

A proper “digital sprite” remake of UMK3 would be huge. The only negative is they wld have to mocap new actors for the characters.

Absolutely TERRIBLE CO-OP list.

@Shepherd_Tallon Content is king and GamePass is leading the charge. The platform is not designed for avid gamers. It's designed for new and casual players. Bethesda and Activision content on GP will be hard to ignore.MS is not done buying IP too bc they are all in on driving GP to the front of the line, top of mind in consumer conscious. And EA would be a huge acquisition too.

Its doesn't matter what how sold last gen or this gen. What have you done for me lately is all that matters. MS tripped out if the gates last gen but easily made up for it with One X model and has continued to make strides with X/S, GamePass and consumer focus.
PS4 killed it and the secret to its success that no one STILL acknowledges is FORTNITE did not require an active PS+ account to play whereas on Xbox, Gold was required.
This gen Sony has showed up hungover reacting to only what MS does. From late reveal, questionable design choices to many other issues. And now they’re late to streaming games format too.
What I expect to happen and no one should surprised is CoD is going to be on GamePass day one but PS owners might have to pay to play. And Warzone2 will still be multi-platform but MS might require Sony to purchase rights for it to be on PS.
Console wars are a thing of the past. Its all about Brand wars now and MS has been making long term decisions, playing chess, since the introduction of One X.

Imagine that. They got an actor that looks the part.
Had no idea the original voice actors had a part too. Gotta be tongue in cheek no matter how much they shill for the show.

@RoomWithaMoose eShop for sure but Xbox not so much.

@Arnna It's still better than playing emulated games on a small screen with bad speakers, built into a wooden box, and playing on cheap sticks for a whopping $700.

Marvel V Capcom 3 on consoles is good enough. Not dropping $600 for OLD games in a wooden box. But would buy a collection for $40-60

Fastest way to encourage consumers to buy a Xbox Series X instead and basically lose this generation.

MSRP $70. So what.
The sale will be 40-50% off within months.
Every game ever made is a cash grab one way or another and it's not about your feelings.
Stop crying over it already, don't buy it, and get on with your lives.
Simple.

The MSRP is $70 but it’ll be on sale for $30-$50 within the first 6 months after release and less than that thereafter.

Did NaughtyDog 1000% confirm that the original Factions MP and maps will not be included in the Part1 PS5 remake?

Im not talking about the new Factions MP, BR or whatever it is bc that was said to be next year.

@nookie_egg Believe me when I say this, I played that scenario more than 20 or 30 times. It was on grounded, low health (one punch and dead) and low ammo. I tried every thing. And it simply came down to a perfect run in the condition and situation I was in. The snipers taunts haunt me. And FTR I’m old school and never look at video guides or read up on games online. Lol.

@Nyne11Tyme There's going to be a new open world MP sandbox like GTAonline. But I think they're also remaking the original Factions MP with some new maps and mechanics for the PS5 TLOUp1 remake.
