@ilyn "Ignorant and embarrassing"? Very rude. But you're tied to a plastic box so I understand your horrible way of speaking to someone who has a different opinion.
@ButterySmooth30FPS 😂 And are you familiar with the fact that loss leading is still losing? Making console hardware isn't profitable. Selling games and subscriptions is profitable.
@Naughtyottsel92 First of all, I'm not an Xbox purist. Whatever that means.
Secondly, Sony would be far better off if they didn't sell hardware and instead allowed access to the PlayStation store on as many devices as possible.
Bespoke console hardware will be irrelevant after the PS6 generation. And everyone should be excited about that.
@dskatter Both Sony and Microsoft should get out the hardware business. It costs them billions and if they both just focussed that money on games the world would be better.
@16BitHero Mad Max was one of my favourite games from the PS4/XB1 generation. Massively underrated and it surprised me that it wasn't a huge hit. A gorgeous, open world game based on an established and well liked movie franchise.
@IamJT It's an update for a game released a year ago not a Beta test. Also, I played it on Game Pass, enjoyed it and then bought it for £15 with a Game Pass discount. I'll get the update for free.
I think it's a brilliant game and PlayStation only gamers should definitely play it. But the fact is that they'll all be paying full price.
@MrPeanutbutterz That is the easiest solution to their problem though. There are many, many Xbox games that will never be on PlayStation and if someone wants to play them they should buy an Xbox.
I'm fortunate that I have both platforms and don't have to miss out. Personally I would love to be able to play any game I want without having to buy multiple pieces of hardware but that isn't the world we live in. Yet.
I still ultimately believe that there won't be bespoke hardware from either Sony or Microsoft after the next Xbox and PS6 and we'll be able access any digital storefront we want from a generic PC in a box under our TVs. At that point all that will matter are the games and all of the pointless system loyalty can disappear. I cannot wait.
And people wonder why the likes of Xbox, PlayStation, Tencent, Amazon, PIF and Netflix are spending billions on live service games and crazy acquisitions.
This isn't the games industry I remember enjoying.
Also, it's really weird to say that it's a former Xbox exclusive when it has been readily available on PS5 for nearly 2 years. Seems like an unnecessary point to make.
Personally, I would like to be able to play any game I want and not have to buy several pieces of hardware. I genuinely don't understand why anyone wouldn't want that too.
@wildcat_kickz I'm loving that you used Hitchcock as an example because I would liken TLOU on PS5 to Psycho with Vince Vaughan. An almost shot for shot copy of the original Anthony Perkins movie. Same dialogue. Same scenes. Same soundtrack.
@wildcat_kickz But, seeing as we're here, I still believe that a remaster is polishing the original content to look or sound better and a remake is creating something new with the same spirit of the original content.
Resident Evil 2 is a remake of the PS1 original. Whereas The Last of Us Part 1 is a remaster of the PS3 original.

@GamingGod Honestly what?
Re: PS5 Reportedly Hands Forza Horizon 5 an Additional 5 Million Sales
@Weebleman And have Sony made back all the money they spent on R&D, manufacturing, shipping and marketing? No. They haven't.

Re: PS5 Reportedly Hands Forza Horizon 5 an Additional 5 Million Sales
@Naughtyottsel92 I own many, many PlayStation consoles and can comment on this site as much as I want to. As I have since 2008.
Re: PS5 Reportedly Hands Forza Horizon 5 an Additional 5 Million Sales
@ilyn Hardware itself doesn't make any money for Sony and Microsoft. They're sold at a loss.
And the people who will make the plastic boxes are the same people who make laptops.
Re: PS5 Reportedly Hands Forza Horizon 5 an Additional 5 Million Sales
@Oram77 Selling hardware doesn't make Sony or Microsoft money. Games, subscriptions and DLC do.
Re: PS5 Reportedly Hands Forza Horizon 5 an Additional 5 Million Sales
@dskatter Because the future of gaming isn't about selling plastic boxes. It's all about the games.
Re: PS5 Reportedly Hands Forza Horizon 5 an Additional 5 Million Sales
I own an Xbox and am able to play all 5 Forza Horizon games. It genuinely does annoy me that non Xbox gamers can't access them all.

Re: Xbox's Avowed Will Be $20 Cheaper When It Launches on PS5
@Northern_munkey I take it back! I take it back!!! 😂
Re: Xbox's Avowed Will Be $20 Cheaper When It Launches on PS5
@naruball Because it fits the narrative of this site to make anything about owning an Xbox to be a negative thing.
Re: Code Violet (PS5) - Gooner Shooter Can't Get It Up
Is this a PS5 exclusive? Is it digital only?
Re: Sony Needs to Move Mountains to Get Samson: A Tyndalston Story on PS5
@16BitHero Just talking about it has convinced me to have another play through. 👍
Re: Sony Needs to Move Mountains to Get Samson: A Tyndalston Story on PS5

Re: Sony Needs to Move Mountains to Get Samson: A Tyndalston Story on PS5
I was aware of this but for some reason I was sure that it had been confirmed for PlayStation and Xbox. Wishful thinking obviously.
Re: Code Violet (PS5) - Gooner Shooter Can't Get It Up
For a site like this which seems to revel in perving over Stellar Blade and all number of creepy anime games, this review seems weird.
And I lost count of the number of pop culture references. 😂
Re: Big Updates on Massive Xbox Games, Bound for PS5, Later This Month
@get2sammyb And Sony is also a third party publisher. But that never gets mentioned does it?
Re: Xbox Exclusive RPG Avowed Is Coming to PS5 in February with Major New Features
@DennisReynolds You're acting like PS5 players are the only ones that get the benefits of these updates.
Re: Xbox Exclusive RPG Avowed Is Coming to PS5 in February with Major New Features
@LikelySatan I really liked this. 😂
Re: Xbox Exclusive RPG Avowed Is Coming to PS5 in February with Major New Features
@DennisReynolds Having to wait a year and then pay full price and give Microsoft money.

Re: Xbox Exclusive RPG Avowed Is Coming to PS5 in February with Major New Features
@MrPeanutbutterz Because the updates aren't part of a Beta testing programme. The developer is adding content and features post launch. Quite simple.
Re: Xbox Exclusive RPG Avowed Is Coming to PS5 in February with Major New Features
@DennisReynolds Such a stupid comment.
Re: Xbox Exclusive RPG Avowed Is Coming to PS5 in February with Major New Features
I really enjoyed this game and am glad more people will get to play it. Obsidian had an amazing 2025.

Re: Big Updates on Massive Xbox Games, Bound for PS5, Later This Month
@ItsAlwaysSunnyyy Get one and you'll be able to play it. Problem solved.
Re: Big Updates on Massive Xbox Games, Bound for PS5, Later This Month
@ElectricWizard No they're not necessary. But this site does enjoy whipping up the fanboys.

@Americansamurai1 Just play them on Xbox.

Re: PS5's Hyperpop Collection Adds Three Striking New Colours for DualSense, Console Covers
It still seems like an absolute joke that the slim faceplates don't fit the Pro console. It would have been a very easy thing for Sony to do.
Re: You'll Soon Be Able to Own Former Xbox Exclusive Hi-Fi Rush Physically on PS5
Also, it's really weird to say that it's a former Xbox exclusive when it has been readily available on PS5 for nearly 2 years. Seems like an unnecessary point to make.
Re: You'll Soon Be Able to Own Former Xbox Exclusive Hi-Fi Rush Physically on PS5
I've never had a single issue with LRG and have used them for many years. The most recent purchase being MK Legacy Kollection on Xbox.
I'll definitely be getting this.

Re: Best Remakes and Remasters on PS5
@wildcat_kickz Absolutely was! Wait....was that sarcasm?
Re: Best Remakes and Remasters on PS5
@wildcat_kickz We're probably just talking semantics now when it comes to labelling things. I just don't think TLOU on PS5 is a remake.
Jumanji! That was a remake!
