@gruf69 Really? I get maybe thinking Sony doesnt care for you personally...there are a lot of you's to deal with... But White Knighting Microsoft in the same paragraph is very telling.
@get2sammyb man I should be an analyst. You can be wrong 50% of the time and still be a high paid "expert". Wasn't this the guy who was technically right as he predicted a next gen console when Pro was announced?
Why would sony predict an amazing year for the ps4 if they were going to announce its upcoming replacement? Either way in my opinion a few things will need to happen before the ps5 is even announced. 1 - The Pro needs to be minimum 2 years old. 2 - They need to remove the free games for either ps3 or vita with plus. This could literally be a "we are removing from ps3 but..." kind of announcement. 3 - There needs to be a demand. No one is asking for it right now. Ps4 still plays 3rd party games and still plays them well. They need to show a reason to upgrade.
I could add a couple more minor points but I dont want to ramble. Ps4 wont even be announced until playstation experience 2018 at the earliest with its subsequent reveal E3 2019 and release late 2019 again at the EARLIEST.
@get2sammyb not to mention 10% of 28 million is 2.8 million that they could be off by? That would put it well below the 360 in sales. Plus depending on scorpios release date they have what a year left in sales? So 35million tops.... Thats half of 360s total sales
@get2sammyb @Wasted_Smuggler my counter arguement would be that if consumers keep the industry honest with their wallets that the industry will be fine with 1-3 forms of competition. More than that has been shown to saturate the industry and put the whole thing in jeopordy. And as long as consumers show companies they dont appreciate their bs (short lifespan, bad policies, etc) by not buying the product there could be 1 and the industry would be fine.
I predict 5 million shipped to stores on its first month!
As someone who primarily likes playstation and usually has a nintendo system nearby and my gaming pc in my office... The xbox brand has nothing to offer me.
Give me something I cant get anywhere else. And stop all the "cant do it on other systems cloud rendering" crap. And stop all the other crap. Stop insulting my intelligence and I will start looking at you as a viable option. I like to play games. I buy the system to play games. Make me buy your system.
I would like to see them give you guys Toren. It was a quick game 7-8 hours (I believe) with unique graphics and a neat story. And Since Ive already beat it I can work on something else in my backlog. Although even though its a solid game its not AAA...
@fishwilson I do see your point and I don't want games to be reviewed based on their graphics either, which I find most sites do now and it is sad. I also would hate Sammy to ever base his reviews of a game on graphics. But I would also dislike if he stopped writing these graphical update columns on push square because until a game is released this is all they can talk about sometimes.
The title of the article said it was about graphics and no where in the article did he say it was an amazing game because of the graphics he more implied that they usually take their time and make great games.
I dont want you to stop commenting either I usually like your comments Its just that if you didnt want to read an article about graphics you maybe should have skipped this one...
@get2sammyb @fishwilson ??? his last article is on the NA store sale. The game has amazing graphics... He reported it and it looks amazing. Dont get your complaint at all.
Loved the vid. Thanks Sammy! Always loved the Gran Turismo series. It was one of the first games I bought for my psone and loved it ever since I stopped doing donuts. Definately a must buy.
People are crazy if they dont see the value of plus. I get 2-4 (with xbuy) games I can play on my ps4 every month. Almost always they are a mix of new releases and games I would have never bought on my own. I dont want 2-3 year old AAA titles just to boast that plus gives away better things than gwg. I already own killzone and knack. I had already owned mgs v when they gave that away.
Ps plus is damned if they do and damned if they dont. They give away excellent value for the money and they dont even have to as thats not really what you are paying for. Gwg has been giving away games for about a year steady but has collected the money from people for 10.
I do however think they should maybe give away one ps3 and one vita game a month and then eventually no ps3 games as its run its course. Then maybe give away a 3 year old AAA game every other month to please those that want to boast about it.
I dont know what people are complaining about I pay $50 a year and get 2-4 games a month that I can play on my PS4 ( 24- 48 games a year for less than the price of a new AAA game). Thats just the PS4!
I dont want Knack I already own it (my kids love it). I dont want Assasins Creed black flag...I own it. I want towerfall, spulunky, and rocket league... Games I probably would never have bought on my own but are excellent and I have sunk countless hours playing.
Why give away a game that if people were interested they probably already own? Most of all stop complaining because each game you get to download cost you $1.05 and thats if you only own a PS4. Plus has paid for itself on my vita alone every year let alone PS3 and PS4.
Hey all Pushsquare staff. Been a very long time reader but this is my first post.
I just would like to say that playstation does their subscription service right. I am not arguing that xbox does theirs wrong as I have never owned and never plan to own an xbox, however, I dont think giving away assassins creed black flag a AAA game almost 2 years after it was made makes GWG better. Anyone interested in the series would already have it and I also just saw it for sale at my walmart for $10 CDN. But they dont really have any games for xbox one so what else are they going to give away?
Nope much more interested with some of the better AA or indie games that I thought looked interesting but would never have bought on my own. Like rocket league last month...cant even imagine not owning that game now but I would have never bought it on my own. Black flag...I already own it.
