@Rob_230 That would be so disappointing - I’m glad people love Animal Crossing, and i hope it gets some love, but as far as moving the entire gaming industry forward, idk haha. TLOU2 is really the big standout game for me in terms of level design, enemy AI etc.

I’m gonna be really annoyed if any game beats out TLOU2 for GOTY. Unless cyberpunk really is amazing (I have my doubts), TLOU2 should clean the floor with awards. Some of the best gameplay, visuals, audio and story I’ve ever experienced.

@TrolleyProblems i think what we are getting at, is as we continue to move down this path we risk not being able to purchase these games and own them outright. We are locked into a subscription, and if they remove a game forever, it’s gone forever.

When I walk into my local Walmart, i don’t see Netflix shows as a DVD set that i can buy, and watch 20 years from now. (Yes many i can buy online, but how long until that changes?) 10 years ago, any show from a big provider was in my Walmart for me to buy. That’s a big change in a short period of time.

If my PS4 didn’t already have PT downloaded on it, I’d never be able to play it again. I prefer owning a disc of all my games so no corporate crap locks me out of playing them, no matter what the future holds.

It would be nice if Sony built out a few more studios and diversified its portfolio a bit. The 3rd person action adventure game is fun, but is getting a bit old.

@Shepherd_Tallon I’m worried about the exact same thing. As much as a i hate the 80$ price tag, I’d much rather own my game and play it for years versus locked into a sub which has my game and save data.

I still pull out my PS3 to play Oblivion once in awhile. Glad i don’t have to pay a 15$ sub the day i decide to bust it out to play for an hour.

This sucks. Guess I’m getting an Xbox at some point.

I’ve always felt the Treyarch games has lackluster looking/feeling/sounding guns compared to IW’s games (back in the PS3 days at least).

Also thanks for bringing back some amazing Killzone 2 multiplayer memories. Heavy movement and enormous battlefields worked so well in that game.

From the little bit we’ve seen, this screams F2P, not 70$....hope it ends up doing well though!

I kinda wish it was a revamped Twisted Metal instead.

So many games drop to 20$ 6 months after release, especially Sony’s spring releases and Black Friday sales.

Besides games like TLOU2, I’ll be waiting for sales from now on.

@Octane I was wondering the same thing. When it cuts to 3rd person shots of characters firing guns it looks the same as COD on a PS3.

I just wanted a Rayman 4

I hope they beef up PS Now to at least give more BC options (PS1/2)

Based on Jim Ryan and his previous comments, doubt he’d approve budget on it tho.

Yeah but not clarifying that HZD 2 is cross gen until now was EXTREMELY misleading and intentionally so.

Obviously they’d continue to support PS4 but i wish there were some more major true exclusives in that first year.

Financially they’re right. Why lose all that profit when their sales break records.

For gamers though - I hope they revamp PS Now so it becomes more like the PS+ Instant game collection, with exclusives that have had price drops to 20$ and a curated selection of other, older games.

This was an utter failure. The event was amazing, and Sony screwed up big time with so much post event. I can’t believe how badly pre orders went. Absolutely insane!

I have been a long time Sony fanboy, but there’s no defending this. I’m extremely disappointed - I guess on the bright side, Sony just saved me 500$ this year.

This is insane. ‘Pre order your pre order’ ‘we will give advanced notice’ ‘we believe in generations’

So much BS from them. This whole situation is a mess and terrible on their end. We still don’t even know the freaking UI, any type of update to PS Now, nothing.

If i manage a pre order, I’m selling this crap on EBay and getting my launch games 10$ cheaper on the PS4 until GOW2.

This is extremely frustrating. Until I know more, i won’t be getting a PS5 for a long time. Let them iron out bugs and such and give me a 2021 Black Friday deal with an extra game or something.

Good thing games tend to plummet in price after 6 months

If GOW is the same (and Demon Souls to a lesser extent) i just went from a day 1 to 2022 purchaser.

@Octane yeah, once i heard that m hype for PS5 instantly died. Like why bother getting it first year if exclusives are going to be cross gen?

Also of note : For 69.99$

Also potentially coming to PS4 down the road too, with that ending note of *coming to other consoles and PC

Looks like Sony games are priced at 70$.....super bummed

Also Geoff mentioned some retailers may open preorders today. Keep your eyes open !

Hoping for more info on the console and its features, but this was still really good!!

PS5, backwards comparability with N64 confirmed.

@TheFrenchiestFry The biggest issue with All Stars (I think) was the utter non existent marketing, awful balance (which should have been easily patched!), no post launch support, and the PS4s launch right around the corner. It was a fun couch co op fighter at the time!

If they relaunched it now, with updated roster and some marketing, i see no reason why it wouldn’t be a success. Especially if they went F2P with character battle passes.

@Juanalf that was my favorite part of All Stars! I can’t stand smash bros, i loved All Stars gameplay so much more! (Yes, i know I’m in an ultra minority on that opinion haha)

I feel like this kind of stuff would be better saved for part of a bigger show. Maybe i just need to get out of the E3 mindset and on board with the more frequent but smaller announcement type of thing.

Those spider cop comments at the beginning are some of my favorite parts. This would have been amazing.

Teleportation is a frustrating choice, especially when games like Skyrim do it so well. On my radar tho once it goes on sale!

I don’t understand why they aren’t adding stage remixes or randomization. I’d like to be surprised when the hazards are rearranged every time i play.

I just want to know what games actually launch with the thing. Otherwise, i might as well wait until after the new year to get a PS5.

I was a day 1 purchase for the longest time. But as time goes on i see less and less reason to get it Day 1.

Hopefully Rocksmith will still work fine. That’s the whole reason i got a sound bar and optical cable.

If you look at the way the consoles are arranged on the stands, the PS4’s disc drive is facing the back.

Really frustrated me when I set up my entertainment center.

Also, questions for any tech people: is PS1/2 emulation really that hard to add in? My PC and phone and even a raspberry pie I coded can play Tomb Raider from a PS1.

I don’t understand the point of giving you the credits back, on a pass that has no time limit. I guess it’s so hard to grind they just expect people not to complete it before another superhero comes out that someone would move onto?

The coolest thing i saw was my phone being able to play Xbox games. Now i know i can play Avowed for 15$ when it comes out lol.

Was really disappointed at the titles shown, but I’m glad for those that saw something they were excited for!

I didn’t experience a single bug either haha.

I hope they up the variation in the games. I played for 4 hours yesterday and every game got see saw in round 1 or 2. On the bright side I’m really good at that stage now.

I hope PS5 has a bunch of colors right at the start. I tend to buy 4 controllers right away and never need to buy more.

Although my joysticks are looking really bad after 7 years haha.

I love it. But really hate how tanky my guy controls haha. Just so used to the polish of games like TLOU that games like this are extra difficult!

5 these were tricky!
I remember playing U3 multiplayer and the teasers for TLOU first appearing in newspapers on tables of some of the maps!

I was EXTREMELY excited until I saw that it was 4v4. Now it’s gonna be a hard pass from me.

This was an amazing announcement. Super pumped!

I still have no idea what you do in this game, but I’m pretty intrigued!

Totally a game I would have passed on but that darn theme song has me super interested it! Fantastic marketing!

Great interview! Really looking forward to giving this a try! Most excited I’ve been for a Plus game in a long time!

Wow! Been wanting to try Greedfall. Maybe it’s time I try our PSNow.

I love having games I love sit on the shelf. I still try to get physical copies when I can, but swapping games while sitting down is quite nice.

One thing that stinks tho, is I have to bring my entire PS4 to my buddys house when we play Overcooked.

Those JRPGs killed my score hahahaha

Still weird that it costs that much for basically a bunch of licenses.

They could sell and then instantly pull the rights to those franchises if they wanted and sell them elsewhere. (Obviously the buyer would have terms agreed to beforehand but still).

This one has only 8$ shipping in the US. Better hurry though, only 1 available!

Edit: even better, it’s made by a kindergartner

I kinda forgot about this. I loved it at first but it got so stinking annoying if you didn’t have a full party haha.
Also annoying if you had high level masterminds versus low level survivors.
