@johnedwin It will happen and Sony will make a lot of money from it.

There are so many people here struggling to cope or pretending they've loved the idea of Sony being multiplatform all along. If you still get to play the PlayStation games you love, why does it matter?

I also think that seeing a 4 year old Xbox game become the best selling game of the year on PlayStation forced the change in strategy.

This is brilliant news for everyone. I've said it many times before but I don't believe there will be bespoke consoles after the PS6 and next Xbox.

We will all have a PC in a box under our TVs and will be able to access any games we want. What's not to love about that?

Sony have finally realised that software is king and selling that for a huge profit in as many places as possible makes far more sense than trying restrict it to one place.

@Bsb56 I managed to get 2 of those for my PS4. They were an absolutely brilliant piece of kit for games that needed L3/R3. They came out so late in the PS4's life that I assumed it was a sign of things to come with the standard PS5 pad. Unfortunately not.

I really hate using L3/R3 buttons and I really wish Sony had added back buttons to the standard DualSense.

I still want folders. ☹️

Also, does anyone else think the PS5 home screen is an absolute mess right now? Maybe I'm misremembering after a gap between owning a PS5 but almost two thirds of the screen is taken up with crap I don't want to see.

*Edit - Ignore me. I'm an idiot and completely forgot how to customise the home screen.

I'm all for things like this. I have a huge collection of hardback video game books and I adore them.

"Public Outcry" seems a bit of a dramatic phrase. 😂

Who on Earth works in Ubisoft's PR department??? 😂

@dskatter No. Because there was an actual and obvious generational leap between the PS2 and PS3.

Inflating game sales by selling copies of the game cheaper than the in-game currency is a genius masterstroke by R*.

This really didn't need to be an article.

This would be a relatively quick win for Sony to improve the PS5 library. I love the Infamous series.

Just make it an official model already rather than limited edition. It's beautiful and people want to buy it for its actual price rather than the scalped cost.

Although a remake of 5 would really help me not spend £200+ on the DS version.

The Forza Horizon series is incredible and it's great to see more people playing it. It's a shame that PlayStation only gamers won't ever get to play the previous 4.

@Deljo I agree wholeheartedly. Gaming used to be so much better. I started playing videogames in the 80s and things used to be fun. No 5 year plus development cycles. A new generation actually displayed a big improvement. Games releasing complete. Obviously I realise I sound like an old man shouting at clouds but things were better.

Any remakes of Dragon Quest games are okay in my book.

I'd like to get this game if it allowed you to scan and use the faces of the people I've actually killed. Otherwise it's kind of pointless.

Also, is it on Quest?

This article is making me want a PS5 remaster collection of the Wipeout games.

The Xbox store tends to be better at filtering out this kind of crap. I've no idea how this made it.

This is by far my favourite GTA game. I played it on Xbox a few weeks ago but would love a native current gen port.

These are gorgeous! I have a cobalt blue and white combo on my slim otherwise I'd seriously consider these.

But why on Earth are you giving a digital copy of the game with a disc system??? That's really poor Sony.

@nomither6 So it really was an unnecessary d**k move by Sony. I vaguely remember transferring data from my PS4 to the PS4 Pro. Blocking hackers/modders isn't a good enough reason to not be able to do it on PS5.

Now I'm angry all over again! 😂

@nomither6 I could be wrong but I'm fairly sure you could transfer save data to an external device on PS4 too.

@nomither6 Save data is just one of those things you should never have to pay for. The fact I wasn't even able to transfer my save data to a USB stick is ridiculous.

@IntrepidWombat Exactly this. It has such a great story and setting you'd think it would have had lots of games over the years.

@nomither6 I'm not much of an online gamer so that part doesn't massively bother me. The fact that cloud saves are tied behind a subscription really does. I had to sell my original model PS5 a few months ago when I lost my job and lost hours and hours of saves.

@Oram77 😂I promise you it's not.

As it stands it's a pretty poor service in my opinion. It holds no value for me at this point and Sony would have to do a hell of a lot to convince me to resubscribe.

I assume this site will be renamed Push X at some point given how often we have articles about Xbox. Obviously only articles that can frame Xbox as the bad guy though.

Bizarrely, this was one of the very few Japanese Xbox 360 exclusive games at launch. I think it took a couple of years to release on PS3.

Eventually all current platform makers will be third party anyway. There won't always be a need for bespoke hardware from each and that's a good thing.

Imagine a scenario where you can buy and play any games you want without having to own various different systems. All with a PC in a box under your TV.

That should be everyone's dream.

Him and his brother dying is absolutely awful. It really puts the things that I whine and complain about into perspective. RIP.

Maybe they got spooked by Sony's live service push/failure.

I always think games of this type should be on as many platforms as physically possible.

This site is basically a Stellar Blade fanzine at this point. 😂

@Shepherd_Tallon Movies, Games and Videos! There's a blast from the past!
I had completely forgotten that show existed. Good times.

The whole AI debate kind of reminds me of the DLC debate a couple of generations ago. People were angry and upset initially but quickly accepted that it's inevitable and made their peace with it.

I have no issue with AI taking away the grunt work of it means that developers can focus on creating things that entertain.

"Remarkable new strategy" 😂 What???

@HonestHick That guy literally stalks people and makes stupid fanboy comments on posts from months ago. He's followed me to Pure Xbox and Nintendo Life to get his trolling point across. And then, yes, is usually banned for a while. 😂

I completely agree that MS could have done a lot better in early optimisation. For me personally though, I'm not too precious about games needing to be 60fps as a minimum. Hellblade 2 certainly isn't the kind of fast paced game that really benefits from it. Don't get me wrong, it's nice to have. But it would never stop me from playing/buying a game I wanted to.

Some people get way too swept up crying about numbers that have nothing to do with art style, creativity and fun.

@HonestHick Thank you for saying what I was thinking.

I'm loving the look of this and love these types of games in general.

Cruis'n Blast on Switch was the last game like this I really enjoyed.

@DarkTron Agreed. I never once said it was a bargain or a rip off. People here seem to be pretty angry though as if Meta and Xbox should have done more.

@SeaDaVie Whether or not people already have a controller is irrelevant. This bundle includes one and the Elite headstrap. To get those separately puts this on par and it's a limited edition which will likely have better resale value.

@DarkTron I have the Quest 3 Elite headstrap with battery because it's the only one that fits into the official case. I've had several other cases that were crap because the controllers would rattle around and, in the case of the Venom one, it turned the power on when you zipped it up.

You also didn't include the 3 months of Game Pass and 3 months of Meta Quest+.

@SeaDaVie The current bundle is £299 and doesn't include an Xbox controller or the Elite headstrap. To buy these separately would be over £100. Then you also get the Game Pass and Quest+ subscriptions thrown in.
