@NEStalgia I'd wager the output is the same on both Nintendo and Sony over the years. I really don't think Nintendo has more Altus titles as of recently.
@GADG3Tx87 Nope. Atlusnand Sony are a great fit already. More than the other 2. While I do agree Sega would fit quite nicely in the Nintendo realm, that would mean Atlus would be exclusive to Nintendo as well. I can't see that. I'd rather Atlus, erm...Sega, stay independent then. That way no one loses out.
Well if they were approached simultaneously, how would it have been exclusive to just Micorsoft? Even though Insomniac worked on one exclusive for Xbox, I doubt they would have had Insomniac make the game for them.
@truerbluer Bro! I'm wondering the same thing. This Bungie "acquisition" seems more like a partnership than anything. I personally wished that Sony never acquired them. An almost 4 billion dollar acquisition from one developer with one IP just seems too pricey. The optics on this is confusing to the average PS fan wondering where this benefits them.
@TheArt I haven't heard anything widespread about drifting on the controllers at all. Not saying it hasn't happened to some, but clearly not everyone. Not like the Switch's Joy-Con drift. Now THAT was a huge widespread problem. More than half of Switch owners experienced it, including myself.
@SoulChimera I fully understand. I really appreciate the quick reply. Oh and that is a VERY good question. By all accounts, you should get 6 years of Plus Premium if you've stacked 6 years of Plus subscription.
Real quick. Please someone reply if I have this right.
My PS Now sub is expected to renew on the 17th of this month. My Plus sub ends on the 4th of May.
Is one of the loopholes saying that I can just renew my Now and be automatically entered for the PS Premium WITHOUT renewing my Plus? Or do I still have to renew my Plus as well to have the Premium status?
They should totally put MvC2 back in. There's plenty of people who would love to see that back in action. I remember how hyped the matches were. Even UMvC3. Hell put USF4 in. Why not?!
@Col_McCafferty Kids games?! Please don't tell me you're one of those guys that believes Nintendo equals children. Their games are for everyone for the most part.
I'm not sure what to think of it. I haven't played a Bungie game since they've last developed Halo. Never touched Destiny. However, I understand the multiplayer aspect of it. That price tag for this one developer though. It's a hefty one. Especially seeing as the games will continue to be multiplat.
@Futureshark Not cynical at all. That's a real possibility. Look at Psychonauts 2. That didn't get a PS5 version and some other games didn't. Making it so that the Xbox version is the definitive one. It is what it is. At least Playstation players will at least have the game even if it's not the best version. I know that's an f'ed up way of "accepting" it.
@ShogunRok I was thinking the same thing. This was a pretty good year for Plus. Folks got very high expectations to have stellar games every month. The majority of last year was filled with good games. I'm clearly in the minority judging from the polls.
I don't know. This game looks like a PS3 beta game or something. Nothing what I would have expected out of Platinum. I bet the next Nintendo exclusive besides Bayo 3 will look just as beautiful as that game. Speaking in reference to Astral Chain. That game was amazing and played amazing.
Nintendo with their Expansion pack. Xbox with GamePass. Now Sony with this. I'm here for it!!! Hopefully this is true and if it is....please add trophy support, resolution, and higher framerates. Please and thank you!
I've seen the trailer today for this. It doesn't have a current gen version like Xbox Series S|X does. Fortunately I have all the DLC for it, but I can't imagine someone paying for that and it's old.
I wasn't really expecting much, but DAMN that was super underwhelming. The only thing I was expecting was for them to say that the TMNT Arcade game that's releasing next year would release on PS4/PS5 and Xbox. Nope. It's all good. For the most part, I tempered my expectations and wasn't truly disappointed.
All of that sounds wonderful...but I have no idea what any of that means outside of the resolution and framerate. I'm sorry I'm ignorant with this type of marketing.
I really hope Sony gives PSABR another shot. It was still a very fun game. Just change the needing a super to kill thing. Or have it as in option for those who want it. Nothing will compare to Smash, but this was the closest...imo.
@Snake_V5 Yes it was suppose to be PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Now it doesn't even mention the last gen consoles. Xbox might not see a release. It's definitely coming to PC though.
@AFCC That's cool. That also falls in line with what I said previously saying that it's not Smash. Many devs tried to emulate the Smash formula with games like PSABR, Cartoon Network Punch XL, etc. I felt that Playstation Battle All Stars were the closest. The energy and using supers to finish the opponent turned people off. I thought it was a different take on Smash so it wasn't exactly a carbon copy of the game. I really didn't have a problem with the controls either. Still I respect your opinion.

@SacredPYRO Nah you're buggin'. Sunset Overdrive was absolutely fun and a great exclusive for Xbox.

Re: PS Plus Premium's PS5, PS4 Game Trials Have Trophies, and Save Data Carries Over
Wasn't this already a thing?! I could've sworn that game trials already gave you trophies. Why is this a selling point like it's new?

Re: Test Your PlayStation General Knowledge - Issue 6
10/15 this time. The last one I got was 2/15. That was terrible. Crazy thing is....I didn't have to guess at all this time around.
Re: E3 2022 Has Been Completely Cancelled
Wow and folks thought Sony was crazy for not doing this years ago. Guess they saw they foresaw the direction the social market etc was headed.
Re: Ghostwire: Tokyo (PS5) - Not the Bethesda Swansong We Hoped For
@get2sammyb Nothing wrong with showing some love when it's deserved. Even on rival consoles. I'm for certain getting Kirby this Friday.
Re: Babylon's Fall (PS5) - This Limp, Confusing Service Game Has Nothing Going for It
No reason why this game should have failed. They announced it YEARS ago. It was supposed to launch years ago as well.

@Victor_Meldrew No the PS2 killed the Dreamcast. I'm still sore at them for that. Jk I was 21 years ago though.

Re: Meet Horizon Forbidden West's Voice Cast, Including Carrie-Anne Moss
Carrie Anne Moss is phenomenal. I also heard the queen Angela Bassett will be lending her voice as an antagonist. 2 legendary women holding it down.
Re: The Matrix, Black Panther Stars Join Horizon Forbidden West Voice Cast
I'm very pleased to see that this site knows the awesomeness that is the queen Angela Bassett. Carrie is phenomenal as well.
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate PS Plus in 2021?

Re: No Plans for Ubisoft+ on PS5, PS4 At This Time, Rainbow Six Extraction Full-Price on PlayStation
I wonder if Xbox made a deal with Ubisoft for their new platform. Like a timed exclusive deal.

Re: Journey to DLC Island with Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course in June 2022
@playstation1995 The music slaps so hard too. I absolutely LOVE old swing/jazz type of music. The game is a marvel.
Re: Scuf Reveals First Line of Third-Party PS5 Controllers, Prices Start at $200

Re: Rumour: New PlayStation Subscription Will Give Access to PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP Games

Re: New PS5 Firmware Update Is Available for Download Now
I'm over here in the States and I have unsweetened fresh brewed tea every single day.
Re: GTA Trilogy Physical Release Delayed on PS4
I legitimately want to know why there's a physical Series X version coming, but not a physical PS5. Like I genuinely want to know.
Re: Tekken 7's New Definitive Edition Is Hilariously Overpriced

Re: DNF Duel Doesn't Have Confirmed Platforms or a Release Date, But It Does Look Stunning

Re: Insert Coin Clothing's New PlayStation Collection Is Inspired By PS5
Not trying to be negative here, but the clothing line looks pretty generic. Playstation should collab with some prolific designers.

Re: Reaction: Sony Has Quietly But Confidently Grown Its First-Party Lineup
@Integrity Thank you. Also I didn't read the other article confirming the acquisition.
Re: Reaction: Sony Has Quietly But Confidently Grown Its First-Party Lineup
I know they all but confirmed an acquisition for Blue Point, but what are they working on or rumored to be working on?
Re: Sony's Biggest UK Studio, Firesprite, Has Just Made an Acquisition of Its Own
@themightyant Sony better snatch up Blue Point. I wouldn't mind having Ember as well. That would be awesome!
Re: Project EVE Dev Celebrates PS Showcase Trailer by Buying Entire Team a PS5

Re: Marvel's Wolverine, Spider-Man 2 Are PS5 Exclusives

Re: Marvel's Wolverine, Spider-Man 2 Are PS5 Exclusives
I thought we knew that. Insomniac ain't bout to develop for other consoles. Although we've seen stranger things happen. cough MLB The Show cough
