PS4 pullback is the right move for PS5. Releasing first party cross gen games halfway through the PS5 lifecycle was a horrible decision.

I'd laugh if Sony decided to release Concord offline after seeing this news.

They didn't waste as much money as concord. They should call it half a success.

Brain-dead investors keep throwing money at live services. They'll eventually run out of funds.

Hopefully they whipped the dev team in charge of optimisation hard enough. I believe this is how it works in the video game industry.

I'd love for Miyamoto to sh*t on the upcoming Zelda film the same way.

Please please please, make a spin-off with Atreus only!

He would get a one way trip to a different dimension, never to come back. This way we wouldn't see the little turd in main line GOW games ever again.

They can also remove him from GOW Ragnarok remaster on PS6. His absence would add value to the game and justify a re-release.

Well, they're going for an original esthetic. Better than every other dev trying to nail the boring realistic graphics. I still don't care about online games, but I'd be interested in a solo spin-off.

Everybody is dreaming of Suicide squad 2 and Gotham knights 2... Right?

But seriously, I'll take a new single player Arkham game any day.

Technologies like PSSR, DLSS and FSR are just trying to make up for developers giving up entirely on optimisation. Some games don't even run in 720p or 30fps and are relying on those technologies entirely to fake 4K/60FPS.

It pretty much killed any hope of games running in native 4K.

Sounds like a politician's speech. Not answering anything with many words. These is a good chance Copilot is managing her twitter.

They should rename Xbox "Copilot gaming".

I can't believe the next gen (if there is one) will be even weirder than the current one.

Make it an macro transaction: Pay to unban. 20€ the first time, then double it each time.

Can't wait to see Eva 02B in action.

There is absolutely no way Yoko Taro could make a worse ending than the original anime (or the second true ending. I dropped off after that crap)

If I was a dev, I'd have baits all over the code for data miners, just to start rumours and have free surveys about what players would want next.

Everyone will expect a live service that's DOA coming from Geoff Keighley. Hopefully it's a proper game in the same universe. Not a live service, not a gacha, not a mobile game.

Just give us Nier automata 2 with those Victoria's secret models dressed as gothic lolitas fighting robots going through an existential crisis.

We really need Will Smith to save us from this AI crap.

Hopefully it's not Evangelion's ending that was the main inspiration.

I don't mind a diskless ps6 as long as it's easily hackable. Digital is for indies and heavy discount. I don't think I've ever paid more than 20€ for a digital game, and I don't intend to change that.

Also, if Sony goes full digital, the EU will look into it and force them to accept third party shops, like they did with apple and their jailPhone

In another timeline, Death stranding is an XBox exclusive running on the creation engine. There are a few worse timelines than ours.

I'm sure some super smart executives are thinking about cutting jobs and replacing them with AI to fix the problem.

I'm ok either way as long as Atreus doesn't travel to the past to be in the remake trilogy.

Funny how beta versions are more expensive than the finished product.

I'm part of the pay less club. It comes with a little delay, but loads of bug fixes and a heavy discount.

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.

Count me in if it's half as good as the films.

So many players will be gutted to learn it's a single player game and not a GaaS.

"We hope you like stability"
Hey! Who let Nintendo life write the tagline?

Not my kind of game, but good on them.

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.

I'd be more interested if it was co-created by crazy D&D fans like critical role.

GTA 6 will probably be released before elder scrolls 6 and star citizen.

I'm waiting for a much bigger price hike before I buy a PS5 pro. I'm not paying anything below 1000€.

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.

People buy controllers to play on their phones to avoid crappy controls. Why would anyone want a touchscreen to play on a console?

Mimir is the same voice as the game. That's all I needed to know. I'll be watching this series.

@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.

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"

Development cycles are getting out of hand. Is Ubisoft trying to make the world's first AAAAA... Nay. AAAAAA game?

Is Ubisoft aiming for quality for the first time in a decade?

Was anyone expecting anything good from Ubisoft at this point?

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.

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.

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.

I'm only interested in an update that makes the SSD as fast as a floppy disk (preferably with the same noise).

Kenny will have the ability to respawn because of his mom's weird curse. He should always win every battle.

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.

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.

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.

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.

@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.
