I'm sure Sony is already investing billions in 8 or 10 arc raider clones to release on ps6 or ps7 before cancelling most of it after a failure worst than Concord. I wonder if they learn from their mistakes.
The should skip directly to AV actresses to promote their system. I'm not criticizing what they're doing. Just saying they should improve their marketing strategy.
Who would want to invest money in this game's development? It's clearly a lost cause by any metrics. I doubt it can ever get a redemption story that leads to post launch success like No man's sky.
A 2027 release would mean cross gen PS4/5/6 games being released. What would be the point of going for a new generation if most games treat it like a "PS4 pro pro pro pro"
Having tested Android TV from both Sony and TCL, I can say the software is much more polished on the TCL.
Sony is an absolute turd when it comes to firmware and it's the only TV I've ever owned that crashed several times a day. And Sony took over a year to finally fix it.
I wouldn't buy a Sony TV because of my catastrophic experience, but I'd buy Bravia from TCL.
I'll be waiting for a physical release that will never come, or a massive discount. I will never support big devs who try to force an all digital distopia.
"free updates". I always chuckle, then shiver when I read this. I know it's incredibly stupid to specify an update is free, but infinite greed could sell bug fixes someday.
@RoomWithaMoose Vanilla or chocolate porridge can be a nice alternative to rice pudding. You can also add some fruit on top of it. Vanilla/peach or chocolate/strawberry is great.
I'll wait for a confirmation that Jim Carrey is part of the sequels. If not, I'll keep hoping for a Robotnik spin-off (or any new film starring Jim Carrey)
PS4 pro was my first playstation and PS5 will be my last. I was happy with the previous gen, but the PS5 showed Sony is going full throttle in the wrong direction. I'll either go back to PC + Nintendo, or maybe try the Gabe Cube if it's price point is good.
You could also buy a usb C cable to charge your controller... Or use the one that came with the PS5. I really fail to see the point. It will probably be much more expensive than the equivalent from other brands.
"The PS2, meanwhile, managed a mighty 160 million units." You forgot to say "Allegedly". I still don't get why they lied about the PS2 sales number. It doesn't make it any less impressive. But now they are just less believable.
I'm not paying today, so double no for me. I never understood the requirement for a subscription on consoles to do something that is free on PC.
You pay for the console, for the game, for your internet connection. Why is it required for paid games that can only be played online? They know it's wrong. This is why they give out games monthly. To try to justify the price.
I really hope they rule against Sony in this case and against Nintendo in the Palworld case.
Protecting an IP makes sense, but trying to prevent any similarity between games is really bad for video games, especially with the market going to hell like these past few years.
I'd personally like to have something closer to HZD than HFW. If the gameplay is good and the heroin isn't a complete turd, I might enjoy Light of moritam more than future Horizon games (as long as it a proper game, not a free to play)
I don't really get why people go crazy over chainsaw man. I've only watch the anime and it's good, but not great. Maybe the manga is better, or it gets better later on?

Re: Insane PS5 Open World RPG Project Windless Must Be Seen to Be Believed
The legend of Nugget: Chicken breast of the wild
Kentucky Fight Chicken
McDonald's Chicken uprising
I'm sure I can come up with much worse titles. Good looking game though.
Re: AAA John Wick Game Announced for PS5
Count me in if it's half as good as the films.
Re: God of War Trilogy Remake Announced for PS5
So many players will be gutted to learn it's a single player game and not a GaaS.
Re: New PS5 Firmware Update Available to Download Now, Here's What It Does
"We hope you like stability"
Hey! Who let Nintendo life write the tagline?
Re: There's No Stopping Multiplayer Sensation ARC Raiders, Reaches 14 Million Copies Sold
Not my kind of game, but good on them.

Re: Baldur's Gate 3 Story Will Continue in New HBO TV Show
I'd be more interested if it was co-created by crazy D&D fans like critical role.
Re: GTA 6 on Course for November 2026 Launch, Marketing Starts in Summer
GTA 6 will probably be released before elder scrolls 6 and star citizen.
Re: You'll Want to Play Crimson Desert on PS5 Pro for Dedicated Enhancements
I'm waiting for a much bigger price hike before I buy a PS5 pro. I'm not paying anything below 1000€.

Re: New PlayStation Patent Could Let You Put Controller Buttons Where You Want
People buy controllers to play on their phones to avoid crappy controls. Why would anyone want a touchscreen to play on a console?
Re: God of War TV Casting Continues with Mimir, Brok, and Sindri Actors
Mimir is the same voice as the game. That's all I needed to know. I'll be watching this series.
Re: Highguard Is Already Struggling to Hold Players' Attention
@dskatter Geoff is known to promote games for free when he believes in them. I don't think we know if it was a paid promotion or not.

Re: Amid Many Delays and Cancellations, Beyond Good and Evil 2 Is Still Alive at Ubisoft
Development cycles are getting out of hand. Is Ubisoft trying to make the world's first AAAAA... Nay. AAAAAA game?
Re: Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Remake Reportedly Delayed by Up to a Year
Is Ubisoft aiming for quality for the first time in a decade?
Re: Prince of Persia Remake and 5 Other Games Cancelled by Ubisoft
Was anyone expecting anything good from Ubisoft at this point?
Re: The End of an Era: Sony Spins Off Iconic Television Business
Having tested Android TV from both Sony and TCL, I can say the software is much more polished on the TCL.

Re: GTA 6 Dev Rockstar North Cordoned Off After Reported Explosion
Did they find employees chained to their desks for the crunch until release?
Did they have to sign an NDA before entering the building?
Yes, these are the first questions that came to mind once I saw there were no casualties.
Re: Another God of War TV Series Cast Member Has Been Revealed
I'm still surprised they didn't cast Pedro Pascal with the voice of Chris Pratt for Kratos.
On a more serious note, I hope they'll include some of the video game actors.
Re: God of War Ragnarok Adds PS5 Power Saver Mode in Latest Update, Available Now
I'm only interested in an update that makes the SSD as fast as a floppy disk (preferably with the same noise).
Re: South Park Is Coming to Fortnite, But Fans Aren't Sure Exactly How It'll Work
Kenny will have the ability to respawn because of his mom's weird curse. He should always win every battle.
Re: Sony Patents AI Assistant That Can Help You Beat Games, or Just Beat Them For You
Trophy fanatics will be able to get those chores done for them. At least they wouldn't waste hundred of hours getting a worthless platinum trophy.
Re: 'It's Coming to a Turning Point': Persona, Metaphor Director Says Atlus RPGs Must Attract 'A Wider Audience'
Step 1: drop the stupid time limit.
That's it.
They make fantastic games that are a chore to play because of the time limit which takes away all freedom.
So keep the lovable characters and make something else with similar storytelling. Just forget that awful calendar based story.
Re: Fantasy Life i's Success Keeps Soaring After Free PS5, PS4 Update This Xmas

Re: Sony Is Buying Snoopy for $457 Million in Surprise Acquisition
The first thing that came to mind is a giant snoopy coming out of a lake to the god of war theme.

"free updates". I always chuckle, then shiver when I read this. I know it's incredibly stupid to specify an update is free, but infinite greed could sell bug fixes someday.
Re: Expedition 33 Breaks the Game Awards Record for Most Gongs in a Single Show
@Nalodart There is never a straight answer. Just like Dredge published by Team17 nominated for best indie in 2023.
I personally split them into indie/AA/AAA based on budget or studio size. TGA should add AA and AAA categories.
Edit: and a AAAA category so Ubisoft can win something.
Re: Mass Effect-Style Sci-Fi RPG Exodus Returns with an Early 2027 Release Date on PS5
Hopefully it's more Mass Effect 2 than Andromeda. We need more wins in video games!
Re: Netflix Says Warner Bros Games Doesn't Hold 'Any Value' in $82 Billion Acquisition
I'm sure Microsoft will spend 100 billion dollars to get back on top of stupidly expensive acquisition.
None of this makes sense. And I don't trust Netflix anymore than WB to make good use of each studio.
Re: We'll Soon See Whether Heavy Rain Dev's Live Service Multiplayer Gamble Pays Off
Heavy pass
Beyond: don't care
Disconnect: Become offline
Little reminder to those devs/publishers who fail chasing after Fortnite success: a large majority of players prefer single player games.
Re: New PS5 Controllers Said to Be Optimised for Better Battery Life
That's still much less than half the battery life of my 8 year old Switch pro controller. Even my phone lasts longer when I actively use it.
Re: This RAM Crisis Is Looking Like a Nightmare for the PS6
Can't we just Thanos snap that so-called AI out of existence? Or any dumb technology that destroys computer component supply.
It was the case with crypto mining and GPU shortage, now AI and RAM. What's next?
Re: Over 10.5 Million Concurrent Players Show Up for Avengers: Endgame-Esque Fortnite Event
@RoomWithaMoose Vanilla or chocolate porridge can be a nice alternative to rice pudding. You can also add some fruit on top of it. Vanilla/peach or chocolate/strawberry is great.
Re: The Witcher Dev Still Wants to Release Ciri's Whole Trilogy Within Six Years
It seems they are aiming for a day one Cyberpunk 2077 level of quality if they are aiming to spit out 3 games so quickly.
If they stick to this plan, they've learn nothing from past mistakes. A word of advice: do not pre-order!
Re: At Least Two More Sonic Movies Are Speeding Our Way by 2028
I'll wait for a confirmation that Jim Carrey is part of the sequels. If not, I'll keep hoping for a Robotnik spin-off (or any new film starring Jim Carrey)
Re: Almost 5,000 PS5, PS4 Games Discounted on Cyber Monday in Gargantuan PS Store Sale
I just bought SOMA 95% off.
I bought quite a few games at a really good price on Amazon last week, but my backlog is still growing way too fast.
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Microtransactions Will Fund 'Chunkier' Updates Going Forward
This is the equivalent of a post launch Kickstarter.
I'd laugh if they added a progress bar with macrotransation targets to unlock new content in the game.
Re: Poll: Five Years of PS5 - How Would You Rate Sony's Console?
PS4 pro was my first playstation and PS5 will be my last. I was happy with the previous gen, but the PS5 showed Sony is going full throttle in the wrong direction. I'll either go back to PC + Nintendo, or maybe try the Gabe Cube if it's price point is good.
Re: Suddenly the PS5 Pro Doesn't Look That Expensive Anymore
I hope that stupid AI mania dies before the release of the Gabe Cube, so the price isn't too steep.
Re: Hi-Fi Rush Now Officially in the Hands of 'AI-First' Publisher Krafton
That publisher's name should be Crapton. But so far they saved the Hi-fi rush IP, so wait and see if the future is made of slop.
Re: PS5 Is Getting an Official 27" Monitor with DualSense Charging Functionality
You could also buy a usb C cable to charge your controller... Or use the one that came with the PS5. I really fail to see the point. It will probably be much more expensive than the equivalent from other brands.
Re: Study Claims Physical PS5 Games Are 100 Times Worse for the Planet Than Digital Downloads
Until they come up with better alternatives, I'll stick to physical. I'll only grab digital when the price is much lower than physical.
Re: One of PlayStation's Best Developers Marks 40 Years of Incredible Games
Good thing Sony didn't force them into live service
Re: Some PS5 Owners Might Be Paying More Than Others on PS Store
@jvecc I'm pretty sure the original pitch was "F**k the players!" and someone misunderstood.
Re: PS2 Set to Remain King of Consoles as Nintendo Switch Sales Start to Stall
"The PS2, meanwhile, managed a mighty 160 million units."
You forgot to say "Allegedly". I still don't get why they lied about the PS2 sales number. It doesn't make it any less impressive. But now they are just less believable.
Re: Talking Point: If Xbox Drops the Cost, Would You Be Happy Still Paying for PS6 Multiplayer?
I'm not paying today, so double no for me. I never understood the requirement for a subscription on consoles to do something that is free on PC.

Re: 'Fame Does Not Create a Trademark': Sony, Tencent's War of Words Over Horizon Rip-Off Rage On
I really hope they rule against Sony in this case and against Nintendo in the Palworld case.
Protecting an IP makes sense, but trying to prevent any similarity between games is really bad for video games, especially with the market going to hell like these past few years.
I'd personally like to have something closer to HZD than HFW. If the gameplay is good and the heroin isn't a complete turd, I might enjoy Light of moritam more than future Horizon games (as long as it a proper game, not a free to play)
Re: Sony's Brave Bet on Anime Is Looking Like a Masterstroke
I don't really get why people go crazy over chainsaw man. I've only watch the anime and it's good, but not great. Maybe the manga is better, or it gets better later on?
Re: Silent Hill F Actress Goes Viral Streaming Acclaimed PS5 Horror Game
So that's what they mean by "playing with yourself". I thought it was solo games for schizophrenic, but I was wrong.
