Whoever came up with this idea needs to be shot out of a cannon. 😂
I used to love the previous system. I went on a massive PSVR2 spending spree after getting my headset and earned lots of credit back to buy more games. That was a proper loyalty programme.
When the benefits of the PS5 Pro were listed it seemed to me like an unnecessary and overpriced step from Sony. It seems like it has proven that in practice.
Of course people will say that I'm wrong and defend their purchase publicly, but I'm fairly certain that a lot of those people have buyer's remorse.
When I saw the art style I instantly thought of Horizon. When I saw the gameplay it's clearly nothing like Horizon. Sony's lawsuit seems very superficial.
I love Enslaved. Horizon kind of reminded me of that world but not enough to make me think it was copying. Post apocalyptic worlds reclaimed by nature and populated by machines aren't something unique to either game.
@Dr-zoidburg The Wii version of Resident Evil 4 is the pinnacle of that game in my opinion. So many Wii games missed the mark when it came to pointer controls but this was perfect.
I really wish they had made an HD remake for the Wii U so that we could use the Wiimote.
They're all amazing. A beautiful game is a beautiful game.

I no longer subscribe to PS+ but it's great to see a game like this given an opportunity thanks to the service.
I use my Game Pass subscription as a "try before you buy" service and there are so many games that I've bought because I had the opportunity to play them first.
Good luck to the devs and I hope people playing also buy it.
Whilst I'm not suggesting that Sony sell the PS5 at a loss, I'd be very interested to see the profit margin on each piece of hardware they produce. All of the hardware and accessories released this generation seem overly expensive to me.
@PuppetMaster Also, I said all first party games vs all first party games. I clearly wasn't talking about individual titles. All of those "low selling" games you mentioned made a profit. Concord probably wiped out profit for Sony on most of the PlayStation games you mentioned.
If you add up the total sales numbers for both Sony and Nintendo first party titles, Nintendo easily wins.
However, if you talk about profit, Nintendo still easily wins.
@PuppetMaster And Mario Kart 8 probably sold more than all of those Sony exclusives combined. Anything else is then the icing on the cake for Nintendo.
And I'm also fairly sure that the profit margin for Nintendo is way higher due to the lower tech involved in making a Switch game vs PlayStation.
@SeaDaVie Which PS games are you talking about? Because I'm fairly sure that all Nintendo first party games have outsold all PlayStation first party games.

Re: New PS5 Slim Is Cheaper in Every Way Except the Retail Price, New Teardown Video Reveals
I remember buying a 500gb PS3 Super Slim and I could justify the cheaper build quality/design because of the massively cheaper price.
I miss those days. 😥
Re: Romeo Is a Dead Man Gives Wolverine PS5's Gore a Run for Its Money
I love Suda 51 games and can't wait for this.
Re: Don't Expect a Helldivers 3: Arrowhead Hopes Helldivers 2 Is a 'Forever Game'
@Oram77 Destiny 2 has being doing incredibly well for many years. I don't really get your point.
Re: Random: Auteur Hideo Kojima Hopes to Win an Award by Scanning a Real-Life Ghost into His Horror Game
@bluemage1989 Agreed. So pretentious and I hate when the word "auteur" is used.

Re: Controversial Disco Elysium Follow-Up Zero Parades Confirmed for PS5 in 2026
People come and go. It's the same in every business. I'll wait to see the finished game before making any judgement.
Re: First Wolverine PS5 Gameplay Is Incredibly Gory, Set for Fall 2026
This looks great. I do think that anything Marvel should be available on all platforms though.
Re: PS5 Is the Most Successful Console in PlayStation History, States Sony
In my opinion, the PS1, PS2, PS3 and to some extent the PS4 had far better libraries and were more interesting/exciting consoles.
This entire generation has felt flat and uninspiring to me.
I couldn't give a sh*t how many billions Sony make in profit if it doesn't translate into incredible game experiences. And I don't feel it has.
Re: The Zelda Vibes Are Strong in Demi and the Fractured Dream, Coming to PS5
This genuinely does look like a total rip off of 3D Zelda games. Particularly Wind Waker.
Re: Is This the First Tease of Next-Gen PS6 Graphics?
Gaming is becoming such a boring hobby.

Re: Konami Asks Which Metal Gear Solid Game You Want Remade Next
Save MGS4 for volume 2. Do a proper remake of Metal Gear Rising please.
Re: Even More Xbox Price Increases Make PS5 Look Like a Good Deal
This generation is just absolutely crazy and so anti-consumer. Ridiculous.
Re: Sony's Still Not Doing Anything with Bloodborne, It's Claimed
It does kind of seem like Sony are trolling people at this point.
For anyone who actually want more Bloodborne, surely a 60fps patch would suffice?
Re: Arcade Racer Wreckreation Finally Has a PS5 Release Date, and It's Not Far Off
This looks absolutely fantastic.
Re: 'Sony Seeks an Impermissible Monopoly on Genre Conventions': Tencent Fires Back Over Horizon Rip-Off
When I saw the art style I instantly thought of Horizon. When I saw the gameplay it's clearly nothing like Horizon. Sony's lawsuit seems very superficial.
I love Enslaved. Horizon kind of reminded me of that world but not enough to make me think it was copying. Post apocalyptic worlds reclaimed by nature and populated by machines aren't something unique to either game.
I don't think that this lawsuit will get far.
Re: 'Quit Game and Restart': PS5 Pro Has the Worst Version of Borderlands 4
I think refund policies for digital games should be the same across all platforms. At the moment certain policies are completely unfair to consumers.
Re: Yakuza Kiwami 3 Seemingly Leaked on Dev Website
This seems very unnecessary. I would however love a remade Dead Souls.
Re: Enjoy the New Resident Evil Requiem Trailer with Improved PS5 Graphics
@LazyDaisy I completely agree. The article definitely used the performance of Switch 2 as the main focus to try and cheerlead for PS5.
Re: Enjoy the New Resident Evil Requiem Trailer with Improved PS5 Graphics

I really wish they had made an HD remake for the Wii U so that we could use the Wiimote.
Re: Enjoy the New Resident Evil Requiem Trailer with Improved PS5 Graphics
@PuppetMaster But of course the PS5 version will look better. And because the article keeps mentioning this fact makes it seem defensive to me.
Re: 'Finish Him': Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection Launches 30th October on PS5, PS4
I'm really looking forward to this collection. I will probably get it for my Xbox as I have the rest of the MK series there.
I would happily buy DLC in the future that includes MK Gold and the rest of the 3D era games.
Re: Enjoy the New Resident Evil Requiem Trailer with Improved PS5 Graphics
Did this article need to exist at all? It almost comes across as kind of defensive.
I'll be getting this for my PS5 but it's fantastic to see something of this quality available to Nintendo only gamers.
Re: What PS5 Games Have the Best Graphics?
For realistic games and anyone who plays VR regularly, Red Matter 2 and Arkham Shadow are two of the greatest looking games ever made.
For anyone else, nothing comes close to Hellblade 2.
Re: What PS5 Games Have the Best Graphics?
@AdamNovice When you say actual graphics are you referring to realistic graphics?

Re: Mini Review: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle: The Order of Giants (PS5) - A Fun Yet Familiar Indy Outing
I loved the base game and actually forgot that I'd bought the deluxe version so already have the DLC.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy a PS1 at Launch?
I was still playing my SNES well into the PS/Saturn/N64 generation.
Re: USA's Top 20 PlayStation Games of All Time May Surprise You
@WhoderMan But the PS2 has the largest install base of any PlayStation so your argument about population doesn't make sense.
Re: Preview: How The Smiths Shaped Suda51's Wildest World Yet in Romeo Is a Dead Man
I do love a Suda51 game.
Re: Sony's Slowly Restoring Lost PS3 Avatars After Two Month Absence
I love my PS3. The 360/PS3/Wii era was one of my favourite times as a gamer.
Re: 'The Tension Is Hurting a Lot of People': Ex-Bethesda Boss Speaks Out on Subs Like Xbox Game Pass
The fact that he says "you can't buy a product" is ridiculous and wrong.
Re: Wolverine PS5 to Finally Be Revealed in Next State of Play, It's Claimed
@Atreus97 Hopefully. Because Sony are currently in one of the biggest brown patches they've ever had.
I want this game to be brilliant so badly.
Re: MindsEye Flopped So Badly That Its Publisher Is Questioning If It Should Publish Games Ever Again
I actually like the game.
Re: Street Fighter Movie's Crazy Full Cast List Revealed, Releases Next Year
@naruball So, a mixed bag then.
Re: Street Fighter Movie's Crazy Full Cast List Revealed, Releases Next Year
You had me with the character select screen.
Re: Street Fighter Movie's Crazy Full Cast List Revealed, Releases Next Year
@naruball 50 Cent is one of the few people in rap that has made a point of calling out people like Diddy.
Re: Sony's Helldivers 2 on Xbox Gamble Is Absolutely Paying Off
I would prefer to play this on my Xbox rather than my PS5 purely because of the controller layout.
Can anyone who owns this tell me if there's any single player aspect worth playing it for? I'm not much of an online multiplayer gamer.

This is such a strange generation.

Re: Helldivers 2 Xbox Sales Estimates Predict a Helluva Start for Sony's Live Service
@SeaDaVie The Switch has sold 1.5 billion in physical sales. That's more than PS4 & PS5 combined.

However, if you talk about profit, Nintendo still easily wins.
Re: Helldivers 2 Xbox Sales Estimates Predict a Helluva Start for Sony's Live Service
@UltimateOtaku91 Total software sales. Okay. Switch still wins. By an absolute mile. The attach rate is unprecedented.
And so many Japanese multiplatform games are made with Switch in mind first and then ported to more powerful systems.

@Medic_alert I completely agree. I believe that all live service games should be available on as many platforms as technologically possible.
Re: Expect to Pay $20 for Hollow Knight: Silksong on PS5, PS4
I'll play it on Game Pass to see if I click with it and then buy it later.
Re: Ninja Gaiden 4 Is Doing Difficulty Settings Right, Especially If You're a Beginner
@RPGamer94 Why would you avoid game that seems potentially great because it's published by Microsoft?
In fact, I don't even think the game would exist without Microsoft stepping in to partially fund and produce etc.
Re: Preview: Anime-Inspired Arcade Racer Screamer Is the Genre's Most Exciting in Over a Decade
@get2sammyb There's a real shift in tone of your reviews/previews in the last couple of days.
Balls mentioned in this one. ***** and sizeable cock in Hellraiser.
You okay? Are you going through your rebellious phase?
