Clearly a smart move, like Nintendo usually does. Never announce a game or its release too early. There is an army of idiots (investors, producers and gamers alike) that will complain about any delays, because they don't have the brain power to understand a delay might be necessary to release a finished and polished game

I always picture assassins as thin and quiet people. I don't get why they make a mountain of muscles and call it an assassin. That was already the case in Valhalla and they did it again with the black guy. At least the kunoichi looks like an assassin.

That money doesn't belong to EA, so they don't really care. If they're lucky enough, this will discourage rabbit investors trying to turn a quick profit at the expense of videogame quality. EA will be better off with smaller investors who might actually give a hoot about long term image of the company and videogame quality. But this sounds like pure fiction...

They should keep trolling everyone saying it'll be a PS6 launch title with a fake box design, or say they restarted the dev from scratch because 2D wasn't enough and it's now a VR game.

When a videogame company doesn't support an accessory or console, it means they didn't believe in it. Just like the psvita. Why even bother releasing it?

Microsoft will eventually buy Playstation for much less than they paid for Activision.

Remasters of a game that can be played for 1/4 of the price on the same console via retrocompatibility make no sense to me. They should at least aim for proper remasters of older successful games with QOL and proper visual enhancements.

Sony is like the kid who declares a competition after running like crazy when Nintendo didn't even know Sony was around. Then Sony cheats declaring it sold more PS2 than it actually did when Nintendo, still oblivious of Sony's ridiculous existence, has it's 3rd console in the top 5 best selling consoles of all time, about to dethrone the allegedly best selling console with approximate sales numbers (we're talking million-ish sales that can magically grow 5 million 20 years after death, compared to the 10k accurate sales from Nintendo, even back in the days of the NES/Famicom)

There is always this vocal minority of nasty self proclaimed "true fans" who are just the worst. Turning to harassment is just the cherry on top.

Let's hope Ubisoft doesn't need a catastrophic loss with AC shadow to start making good games again.

I care less and less about Ubisoft, but I'd hate to see more studio closures.

Well, that's what happens when every single video game news outley is trying to promote digital over physical. You guys destroyed jobs, or at least you participated a little.

Casting Zendaya as Aloy would make this tweet a lot funnier. Zendaloy?

Hopefully, Aloy won't behave as the arrogant despicable brat she was in HFW...

That doesn't make any sense, but I'll take it over watching "Le père noël est une ordure" for the 900th time. It's a french comedy that has been broadcasted every single Christmas on every single channel for the past 40 years.

Trophy "hunting" doesn't make any sense. I'll never understand the obsession for it. You either play a game to have fun, or play some competitive games if that's what you're into.

But completing tedious checklists when you could do literally anything makes no sense whatsoever.

So any driving game should be 18+, because it teaches you how to be the gateway driver for criminals.

Crap... Sony is Microsofting anime.

It's funny how an underwear shot, a cleavage, or a playing card raises the rating more than lootbox gambling, murder, violence of any kind.

It's like the US logic: considering guns perfectly acceptable toys, but kinder surprise and unpasteurised cheese are considered dangerous.

The humour in Borderlands must be hard to get just right. It relies on a bunch of annoying characters, and it can very quickly turn to pure annoyance, rather than fun, depending on your mood. Good luck to them.

@ShogunRok
Some "reporters" starving for a good buzz will report rumours as actual news without even double checking anything.

I don't rely on rumours, so thanks for always making it clear. It's not the case on every websites.

What genre do Xbox players like? I have a pretty clear idea for Nintendo and Sony, but I'm not sure what the Xbox audience actually enjoys, except for Forza and Halo.

The game is called "Final Fantasy". I think it's fitting. Also the internet exists, so does rule 34.

Gamers who don't play. Can they even be called gamers? I'd call them watchers, or passive game enthusiasts.

I guess worshippers of Satan can also enjoy Baldur's gate 3.

Wokeflix + AI... I can't wait to see what kind of turd they make.

That reminds me I have yet to buy that game. But I couldn't care less about the PS5 pro regardless about the propaganda around it.

It's funny how the worst companies become parody of themselves (EA, Ubisoft, Activision, Bethesda).

At this rate, they will sell hardware acceleration separately in the next entry. And audio will need to be bought in lootboxes.

I wish I could forget everything about this game and enjoy it all over again. It was so much superior to the sequel story wise. The remaster probably makes it a better game in every way. At least, Aloy isn't a disrespectful little brat in this one.

"the developer isn't charging full price". That sentence makes no sense. 50$ is full price, so is 20$ for some indy games. 80$ is giving players the bird and is rarely justified.

A friend used to say "if it's free, that means you are the product". But in recent years, it also applies to paid items and "services".

Also Abstergo is clearly a less evil version of Ubisoft.

And this is why you should always pre-order the most expensive version of every single game. So other players can play a more polished version at a reduced price.

@carlos82 That was my first thought, but there were barely any worthy PS5 exclusive at launch, so the competition wasn't great. In the end that article means absolutely nothing and the comparison doesn't make much sense.

"Date or a life" would have been a good title. Also the face doesn't match the voice at all.

Ubisoft would fit better with EA or Activision. Make a giant evil conglomerate. The could even acquire Ubisoft via micro transactions and DLCs.

It reminds me of a previous company I worked for. Spending millions in random acquisition just to seem in the red and justify rounds after rounds of redundancy to get rid of people the overpaid useless CEO didn't like.

@naruball I'm allergic to litterature. The title reminds me of Toys'R'Us

So Aloy going from unsure and lovely in the first game, to arrogant disrespectful brat in the second was a way to prepare people for online behaviour? Now the awful character writing and annoying performance makes sense in HFW!

@TomasVrboda it's probably because games take so many years to develop. They saw Fortnite printing way too much money and decided on live service games a few years later. That's probably why we see so many of those failing in the past couple years.

Publishers spent so much money trying to get into the market, they still try to release those games even if it fails. It was just a horrible decision from pretty much every single publisher with the end result dropping like turds all at the same-ish time.

The hair physics seems a lot better too. Yes, I was looking somewhere higher than the skirt. I like long hair that float in the wind and don't clip through the body.

Good thing my hero academia is a manga and not a comics. The art style would have been horrible.

Sony being Sony.

They used to sell the PS5 version of HFW 10€/$ more than the PS4 version on the eShop. BUT the PS4 version also included the PS5 version.

Odd to see a state, or any type of government, caring more about corporate lies than customers.

256x240 pixels with a SuperFX chip for incredible 3D rendering is the way to go. But I guess people who can justify buying a PS5 pro can also afford an 8K TV. I'm still not sure 4K makes a big difference after 9 years with my 55" tv

@LifeGirl I personally like to refer to this as Sonyism, the religion with crusaders preaching the perfection of the god that always charges more while delivering less.

Just try to criticise the Sony controller that has barely changed in 5 generations, you'll see how agressive human beings can be...

I wish publishers recycled (not close) entire studios when they flop this hard, just discreetly rename it and present it again as a new studio. Having teams that have already worked together and who are up to speed have way more value than a studio that's being created from scratch.

I still haven't bought FF7 rebirth. The first one was ok, but I'm not paying more than 30€ for the sequel. Maybe I'll buy a remastered version on ps6 if the console is still below a thousand euro and Sony stops treating its customers like crap. Maybe I'll buy it on PC when Square stops signing stupid exclusives with Sony. Or maybe I'll get it hacked or won't play it at all if I don't feel like paying.

Already played it twice, then I lost interest in the series with forbidden west. So, hard pass even if the upgrade is free (and it won't be knowing Sony's greed)

I wish there was a custom RSS feed without PS5 pro and guides... And make it without and game as a service news while you're at it.

Seing "Hideo Kojima" 900 times before the end of the opening sequence is tiring. Ok the guy loves himself way too much, but he doesn't need to showcase himself publicly like this

Hopefully they'll have time to implement everything before launch and not break most functionalities like they did with the PS5... And maybe test their system so it doesn't randomly fails to offer game upgrades. But we're talking about Sony. They don't really care about firmware quality, and not just on consoles, but all their hardware

I just laughed when I saw the price. I bet some people who were all in on the upgrade changed side and are now claiming they never had any interest in upgrading.

TBH, even if I didn't have a PS5 and wanted one, I'd probably go for a 2nd hand base PS5
