@__Seraph Your point is just as valid as those people making points saying they don't like this.

Why are pro - Sony comments the only ones you think are worthwhile?

And surely if Sony stopped pulling this crap then those comments would naturally disappear.

@ChrisDeku I didn't say any developers were working on this. If there were, we would probably be talking even longer for the next first party release.

I'm pointing out that the entire thing is a waste of time when we haven't had a first party exclusive since Astro Bot in September. When will we next be treated to a new one?

I'm also pointing out that this release is another shining example of Sony being pretty poor this gen.

@__Seraph The amount of people that waste their limited energy with redundant comments about how they don't like certain comments from people astounds me.

@ChrisDeku @UltimateOtaku Why shouldn't people be annoyed at Sony wasting time and money producing something that isn't making new first party games?

What is the rest of 2025 looking like for first party releases?

They have been incredible this generation at selling systems and milking their loyal fans. But little to nothing else.

This is ridiculous. The Last of Us Part One is now being released 4 times across 3 generations. It makes GTA V look shy by comparison. 😂

@Majin_Deicide Xbox charged for online play for the original Xbox and 360. Sony didn't charge for online play in either of those 2 generations. They decided to start charging for online play with the PS4.

Sony's decision had nothing to do with Xbox. They could have continued to offer free online play as they had done with the previous generations. But they didn't.

This is more terrible news for the games industry.

Thank god you included the dimensions! I often find myself playing my PS5 in my hands with my DualSense under the TV.

Why are the world's finite resources being mentioned as if anything in gaming is good for the planet? 😂

Is the PS5 made of sustainable wood? Does Sony get a bashing for the amount of plastic it uses in things like PS5 cover plates?

Every PS5 they sell damages the planet so should they be attacked for selling so many?

Does anyone really care about the Horizon franchise? Personally I don't understand why Sony keeps ramming it down our throats.

This seems like Nintendo forcing people towards digital. From the ugly cover design (It may grow on me. PS5 cover design has.) to the Game-Key, allowing third parties to send us a cartridge with nothing on.

It isn't a good look for them and I don't think a lot of these decisions would have been made under Iwata San.

@Aussiemike90 Just your two cents??? 😂 You basically regurgitated the article written by @get2sammyb as your own comment.

@naruball I completely agree.

SNES to PS1 - massive leap
PS1 to PS2 - massive leap
PS2 to PS3 - massive leap
PS3 to PS4 - meh

I think it's far more likely that they'll be remaking games that weren't tied to one platform.

If true, this another pathetic move by Sony. How about treating us to some new ****ing games???

Does no-one else on this site see his blatant mocking of Sony and the way they make PlayStation announcements?

Or am I blind?

PlayStation are also a third party publisher.

I would like a remaster of Golden Abyss.

@Stevemalkpus And the Switch has sold 21million more systems than the PS4 and PS5 combined.

Whilst I hate the idea of it, a streaming only future is most likely where the industry is heading.

Thankfully I'll have hung up my controller long before then and retired from modern gaming.

@ThorsHammer I was playing Puppeteer a few weeks ago on my PS3. Such an amazing game and it's a real shame it never got the recognition it deserves.

It's a necessary step to test the waters for full third party development.

If Sony see some decent money from this then it won't be long until the less dormant franchise make their move to other platforms too.

@GymratAmarillo I really didn't see any point in Sony releasing another handheld. They barely have the capacity to make enough games for PS5 let alone another system.

Their support for VR2 is nonexistent and they failed the Vita. If a new Sony handheld has to rely on third party software then people will just go for the Switch 2.

@Sergo I agree. If there's a game I want to play, I'll play it eventually. I think it benefits both Microsoft and Sony that there's a huge void of PS Studio games currently and a ton of Xbox games heading to PS5 imminently.

I really think it will be interesting to see big first party games going head to head.

If Microsoft decide to release Halo or Gears against the next big Sony first party game, I think it will massively impact the initial pre-orders and initial sales for the Sony game.

I think those Xbox games will get more interest, money and time spent on them.

I also think that Western development costs these days almost require games to be on as many platforms as physically possible to avoid the risk of tanking entire teams and studios.

Further down the line I can see more PlayStation games going to rival platforms other than just Lego Horizons. I think Astro Bot on Switch 2 would be a great fit and a huge revenue boost for Sony.

Cristiano Ronaldo will always be an absolute legend in my eyes.

Here's hoping we get Terry Bogard in the next EAFC!

I'm absolutely certain that someone will correct me if I'm wrong but, don't Sony only have 2 Japanese studios now? They're hardly fighting the good fight for Japanese gaming and I barely consider them a Japanese company anymore.

Nintendo have absolutely destroyed Sony with the Switch in Japan and I don't see any reason why this won't continue with Switch 2. We've gone weeks at times between any PlayStation games being in the Japanese top 10 and I believe (waiting for corrections) that Switch hardware has outsold the PS4 and PS5 hardware combined.

Capcom, Konami and Bandai Namco have either stuck with or returned to what makes them great. It's no wonder they've been successful given they use their IP well and don't spend hundreds of millions per game to do it.

@Sergo It's a win for gamers definitely. But, by default, any time spent playing an Xbox game means less time spent playing a PS Studios game. Most people also have a finite income and this will also lead to decisions being made over which game to spend money on.

This has been my least favourite PlayStation generation so far. The lack of games, pointless remasters and too many cross-gen releases have made it an expensive waste of time.

And yet PS5 sales are in fantastic shape. It's weird.

Hopefully Sony don't continue this way. Hopefully the massive recent drop in PS+ membership numbers will make them pay attention.

@Sergo I kind of get what you're saying but, if these Xbox games sell as well as expected then surely that will mean that some players buying them will spend less on Sony first party games.

Sony will get 30% on these sales but potentially lose out on 100% of the revenue on games not sold.

@Northern_munkey Agreed. I really don't understand why someone like Bluepoint and maybe another port specialist studio can't be solely focussed on these remakes.

A PS5 quadrilogy would be amazing.

I have the first 3 games on PS3 and they still hold up well. Killzone 4 looks amazing to this day.

@Ken_Kaniff The Game Pass model automatically eats into purchases so why would this be news to anyone?

Personally, I try games on Game Pass and then buy them if I like them. I've made loads of purchases off the back of trying them this way.

I currently have around 800 Xbox games and there are so many I would never have even thought of buying if I hadn't played them on Game Pass first.

It will be interesting to see how these things go when a Sony first party game is up for pre-order against an Xbox game.

Although I'm really not sure when the next Sony first party game is due for release.

This is a win-win for everyone though. More people playing these games. Microsoft and Sony both getting new revenue streams.

@LogicStrikesAgain To be fair, it was pretty funny. I hadn't seen any of the posts over on PX.

@Onlystationmatters Your profile picture literally has Jim Ryan wearing a crown, the PlayStation logo wearing a crown, the Xbox logo shedding a tear and your username is onlystationmatters. 😂

Stop trying to start silly console war arguments. It's boring.

All this talk about Sony being great for their exclusive first party games when they haven't released one since September. 😂

Smaller games? Like the kind Nintendo have been selling millions and millions of for years?

What a great idea! 😂

@ecurb7 Yeah I thought about that but didn't include it because it launched on Switch and PC on the same day so isn't really a flagship PS5 game. Technically you're correct though.

@Don_Corleone I clearly said that Sony haven't released a first party game since Astro Bot in September. Nothing at all about no more games being released in 2025.

And yet Sony haven't released a first party game for their own system since Astro Bot in September. ☹️

It will also be interesting to see what Sony's response will be if the next gen Xbox/Steam rumours rumours turn out to be true.

@Residentsteven This is a really childish comment.

It's an absolutely fantastic game so it's great that more people will play it.

It would be nice if Sony released some games soon though. Not a single PlayStation Studios game was in the top 10 most played PS5 games in the US last month.

Looks like it would have been a really good use for the Move. I definitely think that was underutilised outside of waggle games.

It's getting more and more difficult for me to justify buying games for my PSVR2 ahead of my Quest 3.

Will this be 2 viewer only? Do I have to bring a friend along to be able to watch it?

@TimelessJubilee I adore the Marvel franchise but after 20 something movies, I'm done. Endgame was pretty much my end game.

I cannot see this game becoming a good movie.
