If Starfields delivers on everything shown then it's going to be some achievement. The size was really impressive

Jim Ryan flavoured PlayStation is just not the same. Sad to see

was that a gamepass logo i see at the end? Day 1 gamepass? Nice!

Best thing about the show was that most of the games showed some gameplay and not just cgi after cgi

Final Fantasy 16 i think once I finish Zelda and Ragnarok

@UltimateOtaku91 i buy all my games on ps5 physical, so I am not as informed on the various intricacies as some others may be.

Maybe they can use that psn credit argument you mentioned in their defence, but it could just be labelled as whataboutism and not really helpful to them. We will just have to see how it all plays out.

@UltimateOtaku91 i believe that if it is sucessful then UK gamers will be able to make a claim of their share of the £5billion, depends how many games etc they have purchased from Sony. The £5billion was an estimate from Neil and consumer group Which?. The codes available to buy online for Playstation are from bundles i believe, not made available from Sony. Its an illegal grey area are not the same as what Microsoft and Nintendo do. Its why everyone is only after Sony, i believe, but until these cases play out, nobody really knows but Sony and the people claiming. I sure dont

@Kidfried Nintendo and Microsoft supply keys to other sellers, direct from them, so its only Sony in the firing line unfortunately. The only keys available for Sony games online are from console bundles and other similar methods, that are then resold. This is also a legal grey area i believe, but I could be wrong. Just going off what i have read.

We will just have to wait and see what happens really

This is one of the points raised in the £5billion gamers lawsuit against Sony, lead by Alex Neil, that is currently being heard by CAT here in the UK.

Seems everyone is starting to go after them for it, and it's going to be hard for Sony to argue against

Wouldn't that put it below the ps4 total sales? I thought they wanted to beat the ps4? Wierd quote from Jim

The copium has been out of control since the showcase. So many insiders trying to save face, and failing miserably. Its OK, your not an insider, and now we know it. No need to make up more stuff, yet again. Switch pro anyone?

Sony had a bad show, it happens, making games is long and hard. Things are just not ready yet. Why so many people can't seem to accept that, is crazy.

I was excited when I thought Bungie was finally returning to single player gaming, since Halo Reach (that was years ago now, but a great campaign)

Then somebody told me its a pvp extraction shooter and it just instantly killed my hype dead. It could be awesome, but these kind of games are just not for me, at all. Hope you all enjoy it as Bungie rarely miss

Still on with Zelda and loving it

Copium, copium everywhere.

If Sony wanted to go second, they would not have arranged for their showcase to go first, after Microsoft had already announced their showcase months ago. Makes no sence, absolutely zero.

Alot of first party studios have recently released a game, or have only recently started making a game. It's a simple case of nothing is ready yet. People just need to relax a little, making games is hard

Tom Henderson and all the other "insiders" are just trying to save face, as they kept saying how amazing and stacked the show would be. That they had seen the lineup. Now everyone knows they are not really insiders, dont really know anything, and just throw mud at a wall.
A broken clock is correct twice a day. Say enough stuff and eventually they will be right about something. I don't know how many times they have to be wrong, until people stop listening to them. It's tragic

Making games is hard

@Kevw2006 the middle option of a poll would be neutral not positive. That much is obvious to anyone.

I'm not sure what straws you are trying to grasp, this isn't a dictionary, it's a poll

@Kevw2006 in a poll with 7 options, I'm not sure you can class the middle option as positive. At best it would be neutral. That would mean 3 positive options, 3 negative options and 1 neutral.

With only 28% voting it good or better, I am not sure I would go with that headline to be honest.
The poll responses are heavily leaning towards a negative reaction, and that's a poll on a hardcore Playstayion fans website.

If it was a summer games fest, it would of been alright (apart from the lack of gameplay throughout)

But as a playstation showcase it was beyond bad.

@AdamNovice it will be the same type of live service garbage we have seen fail a hundred times already by many other publishers, with far bigger pedigree in multiplayer than Sony. The cgi reveals were a distaster. They belong in the bin

Zzzzzzzzz. This is the live service future I have been vocally against. Everyone kept saying Sonys games would be different, don't worry. How wrong they were.

@UltimateOtaku91 I will be waiting for a sale aswell if its digital only

The lack of gameplay was mindblowing. Nearly everything was a multiplat game and a cgi trailer. Completely pointless

Some good games we're shown, but the lack of first party and all the cgi trailers made it a bad PS showcase.
But there was some good multiplats and spiderman looked good if you enjoyed the other games

@UltimateOtaku91 could be interesting mate thanks for the heads up. I read the link and it says the money would be for image sensors and entertainment. Let's hope its single player devs and not live service/mobile devs they plan on buying!

I said we were in trouble as soon as it was announced, as Aspyr were developing. KOTOR on switch (by the same studio) was a complete distater

@Majk_SVK I hope they enjoy them, but I do not.

@get2sammyb it's bad news for me, as I personally have no interest in it. Its just resources took away from the things I enjoy

It's not been a good few days for PlayStation news personally. Let's hope tonight's showcase doesn't have much live service garbage. They need the best showcase ever after 2 years of silence, and live service and mobile is not what I want, at all.

With 60% bring live service. What happened to the "live service won't effect single player" line people kept regurgitating.

60% is way 2 high and very concerning that PS are headed in a direction that I and alot of others do not want them to

I feel a bit down reading this and other previews. Alot of the issues identified, like basic repetitive combat, not really being an rpg and level design being extremely linear corridors are things I personally hoped would be different.

As it's the only ps5 exclusive game I am hyped for this year, I have my fingers crossed it comes good. But it's been a bit disheartening reading this and all the other previews. Surprised that quite a few have mentioned that the graphics are not that amazing, after it was hailed as a true next gen showpiece. Same happened with Forspoken

I hope for less sequels and more new games or at least liong dormant games. Everyone's lists seems so boring. Predictable and cookie cutter

After 2 years, if that leaked list is accurate (its not) , the show would be pretty dissapointing.

Sony will need to do alot better than that fake list for the showcase to be a sucess after the long silence

I hope its mainly first party. After being silent for so long, a bunch of 3rd party and indies is not what I am excited for

Jim Ryan said he sees live servics as the future of gaming over subscription services?

All I see is live service games dieing all the time. Sony could be in trouble betting so heavily on it, only time will tell

With the UK government grilling the CMA tomorrow, and the PMs comments about mergers encouraging uk growth, it will be interesting to see if ABK is mentioned.
Rishi Sunak keeps talking a big game about investment and jobs in the UK, but there will be far less if the CMA blocks mergers based on nascent markets such as cloud gaming. The PM talks a good game, but authorities have knee capped him completely. The EU looks far friendlier to business and investment at the minute

@WaffleDee my guess is CAT will agree 10years is long enough when talking about a nascent market like cloud gaming, just like the EU have. Legal precedent is not on the side of the CMA

I tried to tell everyone that this wasn't over yet and it was way to early to be high fiving the other week. Puts the CMA in a trickier situation and makes their decision look irrational, not good for them at the CAT appeal

It's a truly monumental game. It's just so good. A true juggernaut and the latest game since Elden Ring to get this much hype. Well done Nintendo

Game is so dam good and I only just got to Hyrule. Spent ages in the tutorial island just exploring and having fun.

Games as good as this don't come around too often, and the interactivity with the world makes most other AAA games like feel like window dressing.

Really wish I had the time to finish Ragnarok before Zelda, as its going to be hard going back to limited, non interactive game worlds for a while. Zelda is just awesome

Zelda is such an awesome game, been playing it since Friday and really enjoying it

Was this the studio making the cod killer everyone kept mentioning?

I tried to tell everyone it wasn't over yet when everyone was celebrating and high fiving eachother the other week saying the deal is dead. People celebrated way to early, you dont celebrate at half time. We really need to just wait this one out if the EU does pass

If they start to add some regular big day 1 releases, il be the first to resubscribe. Stuff like The Show, Monster Hunter or Wo Long.

Until ps plus gets some day 1 games it will always pale in comparison to gamepass. Recent titles like Monster Hunter Rise, Wo Long, Hi FI rush or even Sonys own MLB are just some examples.
Alot of the titles listed in the article like Riders Republic, Doom Eternal, DmC5 or Back for blood have already been on gamepass earlier. So it's not really very good. So as a multiplatform gamer, there is only 1 "winner" and its gamepass at the moment

@Tharsman got to agree with you, this article really misrepresents what he actually said

There is some truth to what he's saying. Even if they make some great games, doesnt mean they will gain market share, as people already have big digital game collections and friendship groups on other platforms. The ps4 generation was a terrible one for xbox. It was the worst generation to lose, and lose badly. Its why Nintendo pivoted to a hybrid console after the total failure of the wii u.

This article pretty badly misrepresents what he says to be honest

Microsoft were publisher of the year in 2021 and nobody cared and stil say "xbox has no games" there is lots of evidence to support his theory

After so many lazy games which are released broken and buggy, we need more optimisation and better code, not more powerful hardware. We have barely seen what these consoles are capable of, we need some next gen games to actually release before we even think about other consoles. Most games are still cross gen. This is stupid and taking away some of the point of having fixed hardware. Will probably just buy a PC next gen or play on something like the Asus Ally as consoles are becoming pointless if this continues

Looks like more of the same from the trailer. I played the demo and thought it was really bad. But i thank them for the demo, saved me money from buying it. You know its just not a very good game when it has the same metacritic score as Redfall.

@KundaliniRising333 good observation. I don't think the current trend of releasing broken games will stop, until people stop buying and supporting broken games. Publishers only understand money. But hardly anybody cares enough to stop buying them, they just preorder the next one, and the next one, and the next one. I'm not really sure of the answer, but we really need to find one, as it's getting worse not better. As you mentioned, you cant even trust the gaming media to be honest, because they are afraid of being blacklisted. It's a sorry state of affairs

@KundaliniRising333 i agree. It's like they learned nothing from Cyberpunk and countless other games. The gaming media should not be giving high scores to fundamentally broken games, it's a terrible look. Some people will have purchased this game based on reviews, only to get it home and realise its hot garbage at the minute. And people wonder why we get $70 broken games constantly....I'm so exasperated with the whole situation

@mus422 Its still a disaster in performance and resolution mode even after the day 1 patch according to Digital Foundry. They have tested PS5 and PC so far, after the day 1 patch, and technically its a joke on both platforms. Not fit for release.
Edit: DF new video actually has the Series S as arguably the best platform, yes it drops RT, but it performs the best. You know your game is broken when the Series S is the best version lol
