Imo they won't delay it, because Microsoft is keen on releasing it's Xbox Magnus console-PC hybrid in the coming ~2 years or so, so PS6 could still be released in 2027-2028 due to competition.
Anyway, it's all speculation right now, 2027 is still 2 years away, we'll see in time.
Plane companies have been practicing dynamic pricing for years on their plane tickets and most of the time in the detriment of the buyer instead of the advantage... You have one price now, go away for 10 minutes, come back and refresh the page only to see it increase by 10-15%... call a friend, he goes to the same site, only to see a different price. And all that doesn't generate so many complaints. And that's just one example.
Not a justification for the practice, I'd rather have them sued to the shores of bankruptcy and then some, but without proper legislation all this is in vane... that's where the complaints should be aimed.
Are you happy Rockstar decided to make Red Dead Redemption 2 instead of persisting with GTA 5 DLC?
Are you kidding? It's the best decision possible.
And I'd rather they start working on RDR 3 instead of making any DLC for GTA 6
He implies growing up with the original MK games, and complains of input reading as if it's added to this collection ha ha
Input reading was implemented in those games from launch, every version of those games has it, Arcade and Consoles alike.
Arcade are faster to react though, console versions are somewhat slower.
The reverse of this "feature" is that the games become predictable and you can take advantage of that.
The trick is to look for patterns while playing, learn and exploit them to make your life easier in Single Player.
Here are some xamples:
MK2 Arcade - Single player, medium difficulty: after the first 2-3 characters of the column (that are actually on Easy mode), you can make you opponent stop and jump after you when you jump backwards. This only works if you play with a few select characters: Cage, Jax, Baraka, the 3 ninjas, Shang Thung - it doesn't work with the rest of them. Iirk it doesn't work on consoles. The Genesis version though has it's own tricks that don't work on Arcade (for example Sweep followed by a step forward and a roundhouse kick rules supreme with many characters.... Or you can use a combination of roll + drop-kick + sweep + roundhouse kick with Mileena, I don't remember the exact sequence but it can be done fast and easy).
MK3 Arcade - Single player, medium difficulty, middle column: after the 1st opponent (which again is on Easy mode), if you move backwards a lot of times you will determine your opponent to run towards you, and you can round-house kick them when they get close - works with every character. Works on consoles too.
UMK3 Nintendo (Genesis too) - Single player - last column: from time to time the opponent stops at a certain distance and tries to maintain that distance by moving backwards if you move forward. You can move forward (which is a bit faster than his moving backwards). When you see you've shorten the distance between you by 1-2 steps, do a jump-kick towards the opponent. He will get lower, as if preparing to do an uppercut, but won't react until 1 second after you land - plenty of time to start a combo that starts with a kick (one that starts with a punch won't hit him while he's crouched). Does NOT work on Arcade.
Those are just some examples, there are quite a few other tricks on exploiting the AI of those games, some more difficult to explain than others.
You can't park there mate
"Da hell I can't! Client wanted fastest delivery, came by air - and look around you chief, the only free landing spot! Take it up with management, fine their arses, but I ain't leaving here until I get payed!
we suspect it’s only the most hardcore players who are going to be really bothered by the input lag. No... It's like adding lag to a souls game, it will make it very hard to play... Take for example MK2 arcade - there is a rhythm with very tight timings that need to be respected if you want to beat Kintaro. Lag will make it a lot harder if not impossible to beat him. Combos will also be impacted in MK3 and UMK3 of course, especially the Arcade versions that are harder than the console ones.
This is disappointing... And I don't mean for this game in particular, but for PSSR in general. It's either avoided by the devs, or poorly implemented, and it's supposed to be the best up-scaling tech at the core of current and future PS consoles, the main ingredient in Sony's marketing campaign etc...
Is it so convoluted and difficult to use that the devs prefer other solutions? Or are they just lazy af and don't want to learn the necessary skills?
Maybe Sony should get involved... I mean
If the former, Sony should offer (more) training seminars, and tech support during the dev process. Invest heavily in support offers if this is supposed to be such an important tech for PS going forward.
If the latter... As I said in a previous comment, Sony could (and should) put together a team to test all games that are supposed to be PS5 Pro enhanced - and if problems found, publishing is stopped until the game is properly patched.
Also, Sony's 1st party studios do make proper use of PSSR on PS5 Pro, so it doesn't seem to be such an obscure and nearly impossible tool to learn... so the problem is in the training or on the 3rd party dev side (money to invest in learning, time to implement before launch because PSSR was launched too late in the dev process, problems encountered while implementing etc...)
Whatever the case, this whole πSS϶R situation doesn't bode well for PS in general, present and future cosoles...
Helping my son to solve some community puzzles in Talos Principle Reawakening on PS5 (the Schrodinger Cat puzzle pack is quite good), and with his trek in Keeper on PC (he's playing, I'm... throwing suggestions from time to time if he gets stuck).
For myself... I'm a bit in between games right now, so it's nostalgia time until I find something better. Started some Serious Sam Fusion, with The First Encounter HD, loved those games back in the day.
Not exactly worthy of praise, especially given the price.
Tried it on PC, left me disappointed. It's mainly a collection of content, where the games are there as part of the package, and not the main attraction.
First of all no graphical improvements. I don't mean HD textures or anything like that, but TV scanlines or pixel galore the only options offered?? There are alternative ways to play the Arcade versions of MK 1 2 3 4 and UMK3 since many years ago, and they look a lot better. With so much AI around and scaling options available nowadays, this is just plain sloppy work by a team that doesn't really give a damn about those games...
And then there's the occasional stuttering... really?? In 2025,and for games from 30 years ago?? What kind of crap emulators are they using? The mentioned alternate ways are perfectly stable and have been for many years on far older and lower end PC's....
Not to mention 1080p is the max resolution... this one left me scratching my head while scrolling through the list of available values... even tried to look beyond the edge of the screen maybe the list continued there and I just didn't scroll enough ha ha...
The menus are convoluted, game options are sparse, was expecting more in this area too, a lot more.
Not worth the money, not one bit, especially if you have a PC around, with ANY hardware config that can run windows 7 and up....
The Last Of Us a horror franchise? It has them shroom infested zombies but I never considered them horror games, seems a bit out of place here. Oh well, selected it anyway, 'cause I like it very much.
The other 2 options are Silent Hill and Resident Evil of course, best of the bunch
You know... I would have made the poll about IP's not franchises, and added Bloodborne too. It's atmosphere alone would earn it a place on this list.
Played this title's campaign back in the day on PC, and found it boring and uninteresting compared to other titles of the time... I don't think it will reach the >30% profitability MS is imposing nowadays, especially without the competitive MP.
How about making a new title instead of rehashing old ones? Oh, let me guess, profitability risk...
MS - where creativity goes to die, eh?
What a surprise... right now, no 3rd party dev/pub seems to care too much about PS5 Pro enhancements.
Sony needs to take a stand on this, since its the main advertised attribute of the console. Placing blame on the devs is not enough...
Make a team to test 3rd party games that are to be released on the console. Problems found - stop the release until the bugs are fixed.
But no... it's much easier to turn a blind eye, do nothing and still enjoy the revenue, customer satisfaction be damned...
In the long run, pricing the hell out of their hardware and subscriptions won't increase their profits, firing good staff won't help them make profitable games.
As more people wise up and walk away, they'll start to feel the sting of it.
@8bitOG Well I had it since launch, and it's still there even with the last patches. Problem encountered by many others, you can see that with a simple google search. I may not have the latest tech in my rig, but a ryzen 7800X3D, an RTX 3090, 32GB RAM and NVMe GEN4 SSD's are more than enough to handle the game if we look and its HW requirements. It doesn't impact everyone, and it's not even related to how new the PC is, as it affects people with good ones as well as people with older rigs... The problem is real, and From does nothing about it, hence the previous comment.
While they're at it, they should also fix the sporadic stuttering present in the PC version since launch. But given From's game-fixing history, it's not gonna happen...
Of course, because >1000$ consoles and 30$ monthly subscriptions are by far the better plans...
I'd rather have more affordable consoles and exclusive games, thanks.
This Sarah will end up burying Xbox altogether in a few years, if she continues making stupid anti-consumer pricing decisions.
They had a hard time selling Xbox Series X/S at launch prices - her "curated" handheld console/PC will catch dust on the shelves if it costs north of 1000$, despite it's more "open-doors" OS.
It will not be the only Windows gaming handheld device available that offers access to every launcher and store from PC. Not to mention the idiotic decision to increase Game Pass Ultimate's price, severely corroding the most important pillar the Xbox console had...
From the current situation, her decision will only make things a lot worse for the platform...
Maybe if they make some outrageously radical decisions in the near future, like restricting access to OS or Game Pass to their console.... or worse, making huge titles like GTA 6 an Xbox Exclusive... but most likely not even then.
they cannot do the same thing they have been doing — increasing the graphics power and providing the high-end experiences
Wanna bet?
That's exactly what the PS6 console will be, a beefed up PS5 Pro. They didn't quite completely explore/took advantage of all of PS5's innovations (PSSR is a hit/miss even 1 year later, dualsense is still not fully used in every game etc etc), they'll certainly extend it's life into the next gen.
Maybe/hopefully they'll bring something revolutionary with PS7 in the 2030's.
Seems like a remedy for the symptom, not the cause.
More power efficient hardware, and smart software optimizations - those are the best ways to be energy-conscious, not simply clogging games to save power.
I very much doubt any improvement of note will be done to the Dualsense prior to PS6 launch, when they will either release Dualsense 2, or make an improvement to the existing DS.
Whatever the case, IF it will be done (and that's an IF of epic proportions) I bet it will as part of the new gen... Sony moves VERY slow when it comes to such changes.
Oh hell no, they should give it a rest with the mobile adaptations, they'll have the exact same fate as the myriad of GAAS unicorns they're relentlessly (and unsuccessfully) chasing.
I have zero issues with them if they do it as a side project, but if this financially impacts the AAA SP 1st party titles like the GAAS investments did in the last few years, then we have a huge problem...
@Coversnail Nice blast from the past avatar, haven't seen that little egg in a long time. Had quite the Dizzy games collection growing up, great titles in their time.
The magic of PS AAA SP exclusives a lot of us buy our consoles for. Too bad Sony ignored them lately, there should have been more in PS5's life cycle by now...
So it's not a refusal from SP, it's a Sony imposed limitation (because money allocated per 1st party studio most likely).
Of course Sony could revive those IP's if they really wanted to, but they care about Infamous about as much as they do about Bloodborne... best to cool them expectations to about -273°C
9/10 - won't break any records or even be GOTY, but it's an excellent game! And very much overdue for the PS5's life span...
A suggestion for Sucker Punch though: for the next Ghost Of title - stop playing it safe! You've proven you're capable of great levels of innovation with Tsushima, don't be afraid to do it again.
Thanks for the good work that was put into this list!
A few highlights
October brings Painkiller and the Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection for me, and Yooka for my son.
For 2026... Resident Evil Requiem first in line.
Then Crimson Desert (finally, can't wait!) 007 First Light - if it's as good as the trailers show. Lords of the Fallen 2
And Wolverine, of course, if it releases.
@Oram77 Of course it can be successful without combat, there are quite a few other titles in the survival horror genre going strong without it, PT included. It's just not for me.
Also, PT was short teaser, the lack of combat doesn't necessarily mean the eventual game wouldn't have had it.
Alas, here's hoping the next AAA SH title will have it too.

@Oram77 Of course it can be successful without combat, there are quite a few other titles in the survival horror genre going strong without it, PT included. It's just not for me.
Also, PT was short teaser, the lack of combat doesn't necessarily mean the eventual game wouldn't have had it.
Alas, here's hoping the next AAA SH title will have it too.
