Re: Reminder: 22 PS Plus Games Expire on Tuesday, Replaced with One of Service's Worst Updates

The rumored PS3 emulator... You do realize their is a PS3 emulator out right now. You can play PS3 games on your Steam Deck with good frame rates. A PS5 should 100% have PS3 games running natively but seeing as Sony hasn't done it yet, Why would we expect them to add it now?
They are going to continue to say that they aloready have PS3 games available, and quietly mention out the side of their mouth, "Through streaming". LoL The stuttering was surprisingly not bad for me the last time I played a streaming game on PS5 though.

@Lukeaj93 LOL Are you talking about the BattleFront 2 that came out last generation? Like 2015 or so one?
Yeah that game launched so horribly that EA's stock plummeted by 40% and the entire games monetization strategy had to be reworked because the game came out as pay to win pretty much.

The game DID have a major bounce back like a year later, but as of right now, the only playerbase still playing it at all is PC because they MOD it.

@s22222
I keep seeing this in comments lately...
"All I need Nintendo Switch and a PC and I will be able to play everything."

I get that you are a console only gamer now...
But you should know, you can play every game that has released for the Switch, right now, At much higher frame rates (and for free)

If you have a legit PC, you don't need any of the consoles

Re: PlayStation Exec Shuhei Yoshida Will Leave the Company in January

R_L_Stine

Coonie Booth and Shu in one year...

Whats funny is the idiots cheering this on and asking for new execs... Do you really think Sony will hire exacs that truly care about gaming now?
No way.
They are going to be looking for people that can help their company financially.
Herman Hulst will be gone soon I'm sure, after all he was the one who loved Concord and was referring it to their future Star Wars franchise LoL.
Sony will for sure find another guy who doesn't know how to hold a controller again, but can help their stock price go up.

In my opinion, Sony has really lost a lot of its charm n magic this generation sadly... and they were on top of the world last gen.

@Mikey856
Go look at some mods for GTA5 on YouTube and tell me that you think MODs can't enhance games and make them more fun than the original game.
I am surprissed we havent gotten more of Kratos being replaced by Homer Simpson who is cosplaying as Kratos by now for Ragnarok. They went all out on the Simpsons mod for the 2018 game and replaced every character as Simpsons characters and it was sooo funny

Re: Fans Appear to Be Coming Around to PS5 Pro

R_L_Stine

Yeah, every time Sony has showed off the PS5 Pro graphics and do a side-by-side comparison of the Pro vs the regular PS5 graphics... I am not seeing ANY difference. So, until I see it in person and actually see a difference, there is no reason for me to upgrade from my standard PS5 (That has a disc drive)

@B-I-G-DEVIL
Yup I just looked everywhere for a Beta download to pre DL it for tomorrow n its not anywhere on console.
I didn't preorder, just a part of PS+.

Kinda feel like no one signed up/pre ordered the game that is why they opened it up to all of PS+... Without putting the beta anywhere on the console home screen isn't helping either haha

Re: Palworld PS5, PS4 Tease Has Our Trigger Finger Itching

R_L_Stine

All the people saying, "The game has lost all its players now, the game is dead."

Uhhh obviously you haven't played the game then yourself. Looking at SteamDB is not the whole story.

That is like saying, Spider-Man 2 has 95% less players now than it did during its launch month.
Its a single player game... Looking at player count on a single player game, if you are looking at those numbers as if they matter at all, then you don't know what numbers even matter.

PalWorld isn't a single player only game, but another very important detail about PalWorld that needs to be taken into account...
PalWorld launched on Steam and Xbox in EARLY ACCESS. The game only had so much content. Which did not take long to complete honestly.
They are adding a PvP match making arena in this next update coming in a week... The player base will spike back up again.

This reminds me of Star Field LoL... So many people talking about the game being a failure and dead as soon as it launched,... a completely single player only game haha. But when the rumors of it coming to PS5... suddenly people were intrigued on playing it.
I love my PS5, but I can still see people capping.

@PuppetMaster
Buddy... Concords of the Galaxy is gonna be playable for everyone in a month... You still think the game is in a state of "unfinished and still have a lot of bugs "?
"Betas" nowadays are just early access, they rarely change anything from the Beta build to the actual game. Even if the game is still being polished, 100% they have polished a few maps and characters to where they could have shown a build at SGF.
It would have greatly helped change the narrative for the game if they would have too, FishMaster is right.
Reminds me of how when everyone saw the initial trailer for Foam Stars we all thought the game looked like a stupid rip off of Splatoon (which it was). But after SGF 23' there were a bunch of people from the gaming media saying that they played Foam Stars and that the game was actually a lot of fun.
That definitely helped the game, and got some people excited for its launch.
But sadly, the game was what we all thought it was at first sight, and now NO ONE is playing Foam Stars.
So even if the media would have came out and talked up Concord, the game would have to be actually good, fun to play, and not an Overwatch clone, in order to actually grow traction with a big fanbase.
So I wouldn't say either of you are stupid, but I would say that PuppetMaster is being a bit ignorant to where that game currently is in its development cycle.

Re: Classic PS1 Platformer Tomba! 2 Will Follow the First Game to PS5, PS4

R_L_Stine

So will these games only be available through the Limited Run releases?? Or can you just buy them on the PS Online store on my console too?
I have been all digital for like 10 years, these games sound fun and nostalgic to me. But I am not going to pay Limited Run prices for them. I would just emulate them... I am pretty sure I have them on my Steam Deck actually

Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Has Sold Around 2 Million Copies, PS5 Player Data Suggests

R_L_Stine

Holy crap...

Dude Square Enix is gonna end up selling to one of the platforms.

Why would I say that?
Well lets just think about it a bit, Forspoken...
Did so bad the game shoulda been called Forgotten.

They straight closed the studio like 6 weeks after the game came out. (And PS paid for a 2 year exclusivity on their console! You know that a 2 year deal couldnt have been cheap, and certainly was not worth it at all!)

Before Forspoken, they lost a sh*t load on the Avengers game, Like straight lost over $60 Million on that game alone.
Square went up and sold all of there North American studios after that BS. And for a fraction of what they were worth too, with the IP's they sold with it alone.

Now besides this Rebirth numbers being much lower than Square was expecting I am sure.... (to be fair, Square's dumb @ss always says the same thing about every game, they didnt sell up to expectations haha)
Square dropped another game right around the same time as Rebirth and it actually flopped hardddd....
What am I talking about??

MF Foam Stars! That game was given away to everyone, and they have already lost 95% of their playerbase in less than a month!
God Damn!!

Foam Stars straight popped Squares bubble!

I mean come one now guys...
Square has seriously dropped the ball big time on everyone of the games that they have invested a ton of money into.

And lets not get it twisted...
As much as everyone on here does not want to hear it...
Xbox and Square have started to get real chummy lately.
Square is down to be friends with anyone who will drop them a bag, aint that the truth.
But even though PS has been doing its best to make it seem like Final Fantasy is a First Party Franchise....
And they are the first choice that Square games go to for a bag to be exclusive.
We shouldnt be shocked if we see one of these days that Square is gonna sell the whole company and just take the bag... And sadly, with Xbox having only a 2% market share in Japan... They could very well be the ones that drop the money on Square.
The games would not suddenly be exclusive to Xbox that is for sure, I promise you that. N that is exactly what they will tell regulators. They will put games everywhere, they will give everyone decade long contracts for sure.
Xbox wouldnt put the games exclusive on Xbox... But you sure as hell bess believe that Square games would not only suddenly be on Xbox now, but they would also be on Game Pass Day 1.

Not saying it is 100% happening or anything... but we should be ready for it
