Ah yes another thinly veiled attack on the only religion on earth that's it's considered acceptable to insult, Christianity. I wonder the reaction had this game been about the prophet Muhammad seeking bloody vengeance against non-believers of Islam? My guess it would've been shut down immediately, considered 'Islamophobic' and condemned in every corner of the world. I also suspect the game's developers would've been subjected to very real threats of death or violence too, but it's only Christianity so hey-ho and on we go....
@UltimateOtaku91 Who knows? But considering Xbox Series S and X only sold 459 units combined in the same period I'm guessing it's related to the release of Splatoon.
@IonMagi There's zero evidence that Kojima's next game is an Xbox exclusive, we know he has a project with them but no one knows what it is and there's no timeline for it. He has hinted at some kind of 'big' AAA horror game but that's almost certainly not the Xbox project.
"The remake of this modern classic sits in first place despite lower initial sales than Saints Row, though that comparison comes with all sorts of caveats".
Then why even mention it? It's just giving fuel to the rancid fanboys on Twitter.
@StylesT There was once a time when a season pass actually offered great value, particularly with Bethesda games. Those days are long gone though sadly....
@d0x360 I know, I was just pointing out you'd be unlikely to get the same overwhelming support here as you would on an Xbox focused website. Personally I prefer PlayStation and I like physical games (a dying breed I know). My latest is TLOU-P1 which was waiting for me on my doormat when I got home from work, you can't beat that feeling when it comes to games in my opinion.
@StylesT you're only in the wrong forum if you don't like hearing differing opinions on Microsoft/gamepass, this is a PlayStation centric website after all.
Don't buy the season pass until things are clearer, I'm interested in this game but I'll be busy with GoW so don't plan on picking it up straight away.
@KaijuKaiser Xbots care about clout and nothing else, and sadly this seems to be mirrored by Microsoft who want to be number one no matter how much the cost or damage it does.
The deal will go through we all know that, the honest question is what affect it will have on the gaming industry in the long term? One thing is certain though, Gamepass subscription prices WILL increase once this is finalised, you can be assured of that
Take a look around kid, prices are going up everywhere. I guarantee the subscription price for Gamepass will rise next year too and then we'll have some fresh 'outrage' for people to moan about.
@Would_you_kindly Well it 'ticked' certain boxes didn't it, sadly many reviews today score things on 'woke' points rather than the quality of the actual content.

Re: The Last of Us HBO Teaser Watched 13 Million Times, Trends Worldwide
@stvevan Don't be so sure, they've kept it closely under wraps. It's quite possible the series will go down an alternate timeline.

@Would_you_kindly Yep, the word triggered is very overused now.

Re: PS5, PS4 Had 1.5% of Console Market Share in Japan Last Week
Bots are going to be on Twitter saying it's because of the price increase, they're incredibly predictable.

Re: Konami Renews Suikoden Trademark Ahead of Anticipated TGS Showing
Disappointment for me, I was hoping for one of the classics like MGS or Silent Hill.

@Grimwood The season pass for Fallout 3 and New Vegas were great value.

Re: Yakuza: Like a Dragon 2 Reveal Could Be Incoming
A game like this is wasted over at Xbox.

Just trying to figure out how they'll make white Europeans the bad guys in this one?
Re: Rumour: That Long Awaited Silent Hill Reveal May Be Coming Sooner Rather Than Later
Please not Bloober team, I'd hate to see Silent Hill turned into a mediocre walking simulator.

@Royalblues Yes, I'd expect Sony to get the marketing rights though.
Re: NetEase to Fully Acquire Detroit: Become Human Studio Quantic Dream
@Bleachedsmiles oh I'm sure it would've caused 'outrage' on Twitter, but out in the real world life would just go on as normal.

Re: Japanese Gamers Aren't Impressed with PS5's Price Hike
@Gh05tm4ch1n3 It's not going to affect sales in any way, the demand for PS5 will still outstrip supply for some time yet.
