Re: PS5's Biggest Game Fortnite Accused of Using AI Art

Stocksy

Cinema was gonna kill the theatre and cost people jobs and theatres still exist. TV was gonna kill both. Video games were said to be book killers. Books still sell. Ai is here now and nothing will stop it. Other industries and jobs will survive but like DLC and FTP games some will exploit it and ruin it. People are often rubbish.

Re: Sony Cracks Down on Fake PS5 Gear, Sues eBay Seller for $2 Million

Stocksy

@tselliot they had 97% positive feedback. This is nothing to do with “protecting the brand” that’s legal and corporate nonsense. This is protecting our profits. It’s understandable companies want to do it. Just consumers shouldn’t be so quick to side with large corporations. They are not your friend.

Re: 'Every Possession Is a Highlight Reel': NBA The Run Brings Pick-Up-and-Play Basketball to PS5

Stocksy

Less made up legends and fortnite style elements and more retro unlockables and NBA jam style stuff and we could be on a winner but I suspect it’ll feel like a mobile game and be a horrible mess of a cash grab for everything being a huge grind.

It’ll have the likes of Rodman, Magic, Bird etc but you’ll never get close to unlocking them unless you pay loads would be my bet

Re: 'Our Biggest Competition Isn't Another Console': Xbox Doubles Down on Multiformat After Halo PS5 Shock

Stocksy

Xbox decided to put all their chips in chasing the people’s subscription money, people don’t have infinite money for monthly fees and Xbox want 30 current and that will only go up, they put themselves against Netflix, Amazon etc, as they don’t have any revenue from day one exclusives now, Sony kept that money and revenue and made a monthly subscription too. Is it “as good” as Xbox GPU - No…. But who cares, Sony didn’t blink. Xbox now have to launch games on PlayStation to get day one revenue. They’ve said their next console will be expensive and they’ll not care that only Xbox heads will chase it. I’m sure it’ll become a “luxury” gadget influencer types push and don’t use.

They claim things that aren’t an Xbox are an Xbox.

It’s all part of their “strategy”

I’m glad I’m multi platform with my console choices.

I love my Xbox and I’ve own every gen of Xbox and at the time they were out. Xbox OG was a beast and “only on Xbox” yellow label had awesome games and choices.

We’ve come along way since then.

Re: Sony Is a 'Terrible Company' That's 'Blowing It in the Games Business', Says Michael Pachter

Stocksy

Only people that don’t understand gaming thinks everyone wants to play mobile games and curated lists on a Netflix style app.

It’s failing to understand what gaming is and how deep and wide gaming is. Niche games sell by the bucket loads to people that don’t want Fortnite and that style game. Everyone thinks you’re failing in the gaming market if you don’t make Fortnite money. Sony are doing fine

Re: Rumour: The Lord of the Rings Is Getting a Game to 'Compete with Hogwarts Legacy'

Stocksy

Genuinely, saying “you want to compete with Hogwarts Legacy” is a ridiculous statement unless it was from the same publisher and studio. It’s one of the most successful games of all time. It’s like an open world game claiming it’ll compete with GTA. Unless it’s near completion and people have played it and said “wow this is as good as Hogwarts” it’s stupid. Also LOTR whilst a massive massive name and franchise doesn’t have the same mass draw HP does. Even Star Wars games (very good ones) didn’t sell like HP did. It was an excellent game with a widespread appeal from the IP.

Re: 2023's Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Outsold Ubisoft's Outlaws in 2024

Stocksy

@Titntin it’s 100% this. Someone in this comment section saying they won’t play this trash for free. Suggesting that they’ve never played it yet they know it’s trash. I’ve played it and it’s definitely not. Even before the patches it was ok. Now though it’s good. Some people will never believe this is not complete trash though 😂 each to their own

Re: 2023's Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Outsold Ubisoft's Outlaws in 2024

Stocksy

Really enjoying outlaws as are 4 or 5 of my mates. Way better than the internet made out and we are all in agreement it’s a better game than survivor. It’s nice not to be lightsaber and force heavy for a Star Wars game. Great universe and now patched it’s a very good game. Others hate it. Each to their own

Re: Horizon Hatred Simmers Once More As Sony Announces Movie Adaptation

Stocksy

A ridiculous narrative and sales mean it will get sequels.

I’d love Sony to look at Killzone, Resistance, Motorstorm and Drive club and give us new and improved versions. But I have no hatred that a game that sells well is getting some love.

I own a couple of the Horizon Dawn games but not actually played them before anyone says my opinion is based on loving the franchise

Re: Helldivers 2 Devs Met with Instant Killzone Crossover Pricing Backlash

Stocksy

The argument that “it’s cosmetic” so it’s fair dues how much they want to charge is literally the wrong way round. Cosmetics should be cheap. Proper content that takes time and development costs should be properly charged. “Real” Killzone fans will skip this. Ridiculous pricing. The gaming world has lost its mind. £40 for two outfits and people justify it

Re: EA Sports College Football 25 (PS5) - Stunning Sim Worth the 10 Year Wait

To be fair you aren’t trying to win the Heisman trophy in Dynasty. That’s not the ultimate goal. Being national champions is. Heisman is the one as a player in the road to glory/campus legend mode.

Those above saying it’s “pay to win” no it’s not. The cards are in ultimate team like always in madden and fifa and anyone sensible avoids those modes. They don’t affect dynasty or campus legend or single online play.

I’d agree with 8 it’s been a long wait and it’s a great start.
