Re: Red Dead Redemption 1 Confirmed for PS5, Out 2nd December

@carrey23 They only published most of the standalone games. They tried to make Bully 2 but other projects took the man power away. Even Agent couldn't be developed because of GTA V, Max Payne 3 and RDR2. Their main focus is on AAA titles and as GTA VI is the biggest project they've ever done they only have a skeleton crew on GTA Online and RDR2 Online.

Re: Battle for Rights to Sonic Tune 'Live and Learn' Is Still Underway as Hedgehog Heads for Fortnite

Usually I would support artists but this guy really just needs to accept he is going to piss more people off if he takes custody of this song. If it wasn't for the game would it really be this popular? I don't think so. People are playing as two legendary hedgehogs while listening to this and it's an influence to a memorable moment.
Yes the song is good but it owes itself to two characters in a video game as much as the artists talent.
Please just ask for something and move on. You are 25 years older now.

Re: Happy 30th Birthday to PlayStation

@LifeGirl Yeah it was that reason that Sony wasn't keen on letting Nintendo control the game library. Not only was it a mistake on their part but they had to get in there with the N64 before thinking Disc the following generation for Gamecube.
I do wonder now though if Nintendo would have considered Goldeneye if Sony hadn't brought pressure to the market.

Re: SEGA Is Delisting a Bunch of Retro Games, And It's Got Fans Thinking

@Dr-M I believe Sega stated any subscription games would be available through PS, Game Pass, Nintendo and Steam with some newer titles being collaborative with Nintendo. Due to Sega's marketing history with subscriptions in the 90's and other attempts to expand beyond Software they are a more collaborative company than first party these days.

Re: PS Plus Premium Will Add PS1's Star Wars: The Phantom Menace Next

I played the Arcade Trilogy and SNES games when they were the star wars movie games of the time. Also played X Wing and Assault for Dos.
I liked this on PS1, was a bit confused at the time why they didn't do II but looking back I'm glad they didn't. I played III on PS2 and I felt mixed about that one.
Then the Lego ones came along and gave me a new insight on how to do Movie games.
So did The Godfather actually. Sometimes the best movie games are about a quarter to a third movie and adapt fun gameplay to progress. Like in the Lego ones you could both enjoy a Lego story and playing as Lego characters utilising abilities.
The Godfather made it about being part of the Mafia as a non story character that still fits with the storyline.
It can be done.

Re: PS Plus Essential Games for December 2023 Announced

@Ken_Kaniff If Lego get more players they make their money through the micro transactions especially with kids whom most don't have the self control. With Christmas coming up it will be "Money for games" and then the spend moola in the content shops.

Re: Sony Says PS Portal Wasn't Designed to Make a Profit

SoNico89

Having your PS5 On to use the portal anywhere doesn't sound safe or practical.
If someone expects to go on holiday with this thing they are leaving a device for what... a week?
Meanwhile the machine is running longer than it should at a time and doesn't that pose a fire risk.

Re: Rumour: Spyro Fans Spot Potential 25th Anniversary Tease

@NEStalgia It's far too big of a deal for Microsoft to fairly claim in a monopoly. If the commission is going to do the job they are supposed to they will say No. While Microsoft has a stake in the console market there is going to be corporate biasm no matter what they claim and they stand to benefit from that more than ever with the Game Pass.
