I don't think the target audience exists in Japan. I'm not sure it exists anywhere.

High level female warrior armor are supposed to look like a bikini with shoulder plates. This must be a low level armor.

I'm sure they are nostalgic and want you to pay per minute like way back with pay phones.

Play has no limit (unless your bank account runs dry because of Sony's greed)

None of those publishers have the balls to send a public ultimatum, saying they will boycott Playstation. If they all did this, Sony would either bend over or die.

It's fitting for the fart trails to be the butt of all jokes.

Now I'm expecting reports saying they asked Kojima what he thought of this decision and cut ties with him when he said it was dumb.

@Balaam_ I know what you mean. I have remake on the PS4 shelf, rebirth on the PS5 shelf, and I'll have revelation on the Switch 2 shelf.

They would have announced this in July if it was planned. The backlash clearly had an effect, but Sony is still as stupid.

Why not lower the recommended price to 50$ and officially announce they will never try to sell games above 60$? That would probably calm people (except shareholders, but we don't care)

Square enix have no idea how to optimise storage. Their save files are often way too big for no reason.

Everyone is focusing so much on AI, they'll forget how to live without it when it dies, hopefully sooner than later.

The bar was really low to be the best resident evil film. Good thing it cleared it.

But since sony is involved and buying isn't owning, I'll stick to not stealing it.

An unnamed publisher. That publisher could be someone pushing NDAs on everyone to avoid the immediate bad press.

That reminds me of Physint which broken publishing deal only got announced months after it happened.

Let's blame Sony until we know more.

Sony is present... What's the word... Physically? No, that can't be right.

@ShadowRJ Indies should take their time and focus on other platforms if they want to make physical versions.

They're just saying they'll release new content when it's ready rather than a fixed schedule. I see it as a positive for those who like the game.

Sony: Physint contains to many letters from the word physical and we don't like it
Kojima: I'm not calling it Digint. Also I want a disk version.
Sony: we decided to end this relationship as a mutual agreement.

Another studio that committed suicide by live service. I have yet to play one of their games. Too bad it stayed in the VR jail for so long.

I'll gladly replay it on Switch 2. Love it on the Wii.

Cheats are mainly used to annoy trophy hunters.

@LDM I'll be getting this one on Switch 2 because I'm not giving Sony my money. Unless it's released before 2028 and I can get it second hand.

The average metacritic score for games is around 75%, so 77 is pretty bad. For a Sony first party it's catastrophic. Especially since their self destructive behaviour since July.

Hopefully, playstation as a whole will fail hard enough to be humbled, sack all the brain dead executive and start anew after losing the next generation to Xbox, Nintendo and maybe a newcomer who smelled an opportunity (Come on Sega I'm sure you can beat Sony and Microsoft!)

@LDM Are you sure? Because I'm not giving them any money anymore. I'm sure they'll be ok with all the brainless ponies who like to pay without ever thinking.

Sony can't communicate with customers, nor with their partners. They clearly can't tell the truth. What is wrong with that company? Have they been replaced by an LLM?

It's so popular, it has 2 separate manga adaptations being published at the same time. Hopefully they get the entire anime cast.

I might get it on Switch 2 because I'm not giving sony my money.

The names attached to this game set impossible expectations. Every time I see something related to Chrono trigger, I tell myself it had the dreamest team of all time and won't be as good, but I still expect a lot. Also it's missive a god tier composer like Nobuo Uematsu.

I'll go for the one I can buy as a physical game.

Sony's not getting any money from me. I only buy PS5 games second hand since their announcement, and my indie wishlist moved entirely on Switch 2.

No disk, no buy. And I will never pay 100€ for a game, even if it was a physical version

The PS6 being a big fart allegory sounds about right.

Knowing Sega, they canned the Super game to focus on a Mega game, because mega is better than super.

I can't say I remember any of these games. Why weren't they more involved in the Life is strange franchise?

"Sony's Zelda". This sounds so wrong. Hopefully it won't be as bad as Phillips' Zelda on CD-i. I'm still keeping my expectations so low, I can never be disappointed... But you never know. When Sony is involved, it can always be much worse.

Faces are so weird in this game. Every time I see a new face, I wonder if they're even supposed to look human.

I'll gladly buy a physical version of the game. If not, I'll see if the PS5 can be modded so I don't give Sony any mode money

Input Konami code during the state of play to unlock a secret presentation.

@GirlVersusGame I'm pretty sure these adamantium things are called claws. Hopefully they are retractable so you don't end up slicing your controller.

I hope we'll get more memes. That's the only good side of DLSS5

I'm waiting for a physical release. I'll get it on Switch 2 if they ever port it, or PC when the rampocalypse is over.

2028 means I'll wait for a switch 2 release, or a new pc (post rampocalypse). That means plenty of time for the price to drop and CDPR to fix the possibly broken release.

In the mind of a Sony exec: Helldiver 2 is a success probably because it's a sequel. Greenlight Concord 2 with unlimited budget!

"how to monetise those users is quite important for us". They don't even see clients as humans.

I'm looking forward to the next quote, to see if he talks about "milking those dumb enough to stick around"

Microsoft just doesn't want to make Steam, Nintendo and Sony jealous. That's definitely a sign of a healthy company and great sales numbers.

I'd be curious to know how many hundreds of millions of dollars were sunk in Sony's DOA live services.

I wouldn't be surprised if they burned over a billion in total on DOA and cancelled projects.

The guy doesn't know about definitive/complete/goty editions.

@ElPenitente If you do, don't piss against the wind. A poetic French rhyme says you'll rince your teeth if you do.

"Those protesting will miss out on the Modern Warfare 4 beta"
What a shame. I'll keep my call of duty blackout going for a few more years.

Ternox games go from 75% to 95% on steam. That's definitely not shovelware quality.

Also, Code violet and Skull island rise of kong still exist on the PS store. So that de-shovelwarisation still has a long way to go.

Nobody calls me heartless.

Because everyone know GTA is made by an average AA developer.
GTA6 is probably half the budget of Clair Obscur Expedition 33.

3200 people, that's about 2% of Dijon, and yes, that's the not so big French city that gave its name to the mustard.

I don't think 0.001% of the US is a big enough sample to justify an article about most played consoles.

With a different sample this size, you could have Atari or Game & watch coming out on top.

There isn't a command to summon Ryan Reynolds? No wonder it has mixed reviews.

This series is the Pacific Rim of dogfight simulator. Awesome fight, great soundtrack, super fun and utterly ridiculous, but it pretends to be serious.
