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

Little typo in the title. It says "defamOtory"

Hypothetically rumoured allegations are the new news.

From a financial point of view, a PS5 pro would make sense for Sony, but I'm not sure it's needed. If people want higher fidelity, they would turn to PC, unless playstationism is a religion or a cult I'm not aware of.

That reminds me of people driving a crappy car not worth anything and buying a super expensive flashy CD player. I wouldn't pay more than a console for some extra storage. I'd rather pay for part of a gaming PC.

That trailer is trying way too hard. It's like it wants to be John Wick, Cyberpunk 2077, the Matrix, Max Pain and many others, all at the same time.

That being said, the dystopian future is perfectly represented by all those people who seem to be botoxed so much, they don't look human anymore.

@VenomUK I've seen so many people in the UK stop speaking proper English after working with Americans for a few years. It's a sad corruption.

@riceNpea Most American aren't even aware of any other language besides US English.

I bet they are fixing some clipping issues, so people can't see the fully modelled parts of Eve's body they don't want anyone to see (I'm talking about toes of course).

The moral of this story: add fine prints on a partnership contract that requires a company to pay reparations if there is any public disrespect from any employee.

Regardless of who that person is, publicly insulting the CEO of a partner company should be treated as gross misconduct (emphasis on publicly, saying it internally is human nature)

They need to add full censorship with the photo mode update, just to get some free advertising and remind the world that the game still exists.

@TruestoryYep It was the GOTY of a year with insane competition. Remember Skull island: rise of Kong was also released. Also GOTG isn't as catchy as GOTY.

That tagline threw me off. I started reading the articles as if it was written in French. It didn't make any sense.

Catchy name. It sounds like a light novel title. Oh Japan, never change. I love you as you are, not trying to be bland like most of the world.

"open world" is NEVER a good selling argument. Most open worlds are stale, empty or filled with Ctrl+C/CTRL+V content. And coming from Ubisoft, I can't help but be worried and not that interested. At least until they prove they can make good games again.

Did you know you're supposed to say "Erudan ringu" and the "Erudoturii"?
Eru Eru Marutin wrote the story in romanji.

I bet everyone is dreaming of a Black Flag remake with a modern twist to make the game as "good" as skull and bones.

I really stopped hoping for good games from French EA a while back.

More people would have the opportunity to not understand anything. Unless the lore is better explained than in the game, people will be frustrated.

Not too far fetched, but I'll reject it since it's from an analist. All digital will mean all pirated for me.

@Truegamer79 I'm pretty sure the trailer from E3 2017 was a desperate marketing stunt to avoid the Vivendi hostile takeover attempt. It was a nasty time for Ubisoft, so for once, I wouldn't hold it against them and completely ignore the original trailer.

Judging by Skull and bones' reception after a millions years of dev hell, I'm not sure anyone is confident this is a good thing.

Good to know coming from the guy whose team still isn't able to program a pause function or add a quest log (at least to keep track of what was said 50h earlier in the game).

They should probably take more than 5 minutes developing their sh*tty OS

That makes sense. The game has 3 distinct parts. Then it depends on the season length. Not sure they have enough 20-25 hours of content.

I still think investors are the only things AI should be replacing. But any random item would do less damage than those bipedal creatures not even pretending to be humans.

It makes me wonder how they will make a GaaS narrative game filled with macro transactions.

Hard pass if it happens to be more than just a rumour.

What's the next ste to antagonise paying players? Denuvo on consoles?

Considering his reciprocated love for Stellar blade's director, we can dream of a crossover (which I'll never happen, but i'd live to be proven wrong)

They would have sold 5 times as many copies if those games weren't locked on PS5. I hope they got a good deal with Sony. Also Squeenix loves to whine about sales for every single game.

Offline single player games toooooootally belong in the past. They should double down on crappy GaaS and invest heavily in AI and NFTs. That's definitely what everybody wants.

Suggestion: fire those overpaid execs. I'm sure their absence would be beneficial in more than one way

Oh my god! @ShogunRok has been replaced by and AI! If the human @ShogunRok was still in control of his account, he wouldn't find any upside to AI... Or has he been corrupted by EA? Is his boss an AI??? Is the entire video game news industry controlled by an AI?

Extremely serious concerns aside, the only beneficial way to use AI is by replacing executives and investors by a Raspberry Pi or equivalent. Any poorly conceived robotic Ai would be more humane than those overly paid poor imitations of human beings.

The tomb raider trilogy by CR was fantastic, especially the surprise of the first game playing as lady Nathan Drake. Hopefully they will succeed with the transition to open world. Wait and see...

I'm more annoyed about Sony not offering the possibility to change PSN account country within Europe like Nintendo.

Also I'd imagine Sony will eventually make their own launcher if they keep porting games to pc. That'll require a PSN account.

I'd love to read a new about Sony forgetting to renew the license with its own studio. They fail so hard sometimes, it wouldn't even surprise me. Or they just love to give all of us the bird.
