@YeoSprings but mediatonics next game could have been a flop and the studio could have closed. I don’t like all the devs ending up under a few super corporations but I understand why they would sell. Same reason the rest of us would if we made something successful, a safe stable future for them and their family.
@Jacko11 there are people that think because they own the games it’s bad. I own ff but can see the immense value in it being on there. My only gripe with the lack of free upgrade is because if I have it digitally as well I don’t have to get up and swap disks
@MrDoug91 what the price increase does is reduces the number of games people are willing to take a punt on at launch, I was quite willing at £40, £50 reduced the pool I was willing to go for and now £70 there are very few I would go for.
I’m a little bit mixed, I think it would be nice for a core few games/properties be PlayStation exclusive, but they don’t all need to be. What feels a bit weird though is when the definitive edition isn’t on PlayStation. I don’t know. Doesn’t really bug me too much. I play on console as it’s just more convenient for me and my kids, coming out on pc won’t change that.
@kyleforrester87 the reality is though, unless the hackers took the code for the patch what they are saying isn’t true. Just a convenient excuse. I’d rather they said it’s going to take a bit longer, or as I say, patch what they have and then a further 3rd update.
How do you delay a patch a month in the making by a month? Obviously a bigger task than they thought? But surely it would make better sense to put out a patch in dev with certain fixes, then another one in March?
I think we should remember Sony certified the game to be on the store because they believed cdpr could crunch it good. Maybe they should insist games work to a standard before they certify a game.
Shame they have just given this on the plus thing for ps5. It’s a great aesthetic for them and good for some users but not great for the people who subscribe to services and buy their products.
Does anyone else see listing Dualsense support on a ps5 game the most redundant thing? Obviously developers have seen dualsense is popular but this doesnt mean they've made good use of it. what they've said is "...and you can use your controller to play the game"
@johnvboy The problem is its easy to fly off the handle over one little thing like this but it sets a wider precedence to commerce as a whole and you seem unwilling to look at the bigger picture. Is the use of bots scummy? yes. Should we be allowed to trade our own legally purchased goods on an open market, also yes.
@Woogy argh I hate that in trying to be balanced I seem like I’m falling on the side of scalpers but if he had legally and fairly acquired 2 and someone was willing to give him a bunch of money for one of them, why shouldn’t he be allowed to say “go on , I’ll sell this and go back to the queue for my second one?”
@johnvboy That is more than a dangerous path though. Why shouldn't I as a regular consumer be able to make money off something I have legally bought that has become valuable? I can only liken it really to having both bought and sold comics way above RRP as they value has fluctuated. I feel like some people are bitter because they haven't gotten one. I'm very much for a fight against bots but in no way am I for even more legislation to stop a common person making money.
The truth is probably somewhere between as always. I think if they have bought one or even multi legitimately rather than using a bot and see the opportunity to make money I dont see why not. Did I have half a temptation to sell mine for double when I got it, sure, if someone is willing to pay that. The problem I see here is they are not in the same game as everyone else, and thats what makes it scummy.
@Deadhunter unfortunately I had similar experiences, even earlier dungeons group members expect you to be perfect at the game even if it’s your first dungeon
@suikoden even if you said 100,000 were with scalpers, and I doubt that, it’s a tiny number. I get it’s frustrating seeing the news stories if you are trying to get one but there is nothing strange here.
I played a bit more of blood and truth this weekend and was really impressed at the improvements. I assumed it was the vr tech holding it back more than the PS4 so it’s such a shame we can’t get native ps5 vr
I mean if it isn’t a native ps5 release then it’s not full support is it? It’s great news and all, the game already looked amazing, but why overhype something?
@Col_McCafferty Even beyond the sale, people could have purchased months ago, the PS5 version was delayed but people cant get their money back because they were given the ps4 version.
@Tasuki can you tell me how many times you preordered a game, it was announced for plus before it came out, and you weren’t allowed to cancel the preorder? Because that’s basically this situation.
@CieloAzure I think that’s the point people are missing, the ps5 game isn’t out yet, I was tempted in the sale as I though the ps5 game was out or imminent, when I realised it wasn’t it put me off. I’m happy I get this but the selling practice has been shady.

Urgh a return to the bad old days after the gem of Isolation.
Re: PS Now March 2021 Update Adds inFAMOUS, World War Z, and More
I really feel ps now would be better served to adding larger numbers of ps3 games. The services seems to have lost its way a bit.
Re: PSN Errors Ongoing for Some PS5, PS4 Players
Issues for vita gamers too. Cross save files won’t upload. My store struggling. Apparently online play is broke.

Re: PS5 Scalpers Reportedly Don't Like All the Bad Press They Get

Re: Poll: What Other First-Party PS4 Game Needs a PS5 Update?
My perspective is if Sony aren’t willing to support ps5 then who will. First party from 2020 at least should have had native releases by now.

Re: Talking Point: Is Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Still a PS5 Launch Window Game?
@DerMeister there are like 5 million consoles out there. Even if 100,000 are in the hands of scalpers, which I doubt, that barely makes an impact.
Re: Talking Point: Is Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Still a PS5 Launch Window Game?
@Paul-ML I wouldnt object to that if true. Astro was fantastic.
Re: Talking Point: Is Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Still a PS5 Launch Window Game?
For me maybe 3 months is launch window. We would at least need a date by now if it was launch window.
