@IonMagi didn’t they only really have 1 release on PS3 as well?? I remember GT5 being hotly anticipated on that system for a long time, and many complaints about the time to release.

And GT6 basically launched at the start of PS4 I think.

@BoldAndBrash I was wondering that too lol. Every article seems to have a hundred comments within a few hours now

@Shepherd_Tallon I’ve just hopped back in after playing a ton at launch.

I’m having a blast again! I do find it confusing what content is and isn’t available haha. And not a fan of them removing old content like the original raid and stuff.

I’m hoping Sony includes old DLC as a part of PS+ revamp. It’s kind of expensive to get all of it to catch back up haha

They had been a 2 game at a time studio since U2 launched I think right?

I’d imagine it’s the same thing, but with the addition of the spun off multiplayer team working on Factions - which I guess at this point isn’t just a small tie in but legit big budget multiplayer game.

Hoping to see a cool new IP - preferably based on Savage Starlight

@Amnesiac That a really good point I hadn’t thought about.

The F2P model we see on phones is annoying enough. Through a subscription service if $ is based on overall playtime and MTX, it’s gonna be awful with bloated games etc

@vapidwolf1 Yes I prefer physical if it’s a 1:1 in price.

But if it’s 70$ vs included in my 15$ a month sub…..I’ll play it on the sun and when it drops in price buy the physical if I like the game.

I’m also the type of person that will still buy CDs if I like the album (I primarily use a streaming service), so I understand that I’m in a massive minority here with this lol

@Col_McCafferty 100%. It’ll be like Netflix etc once it reaches market dominance. Prices will rise, content will continue to be ‘meh’ quality and some form of ‘canceling after season 2’ once the hype dies will occur like it does with Netflix.

I absolutely hate the concept of Gamepass and what it’ll probably do to the industry, but when looking at my wallet, it’s very enticing right now haha.

Overall I’d much rather pay 60/70$ for a high quality game. Sometimes I just have to skip out on some releases or wait for sales depending on how many things launch at the same time. This is a hard month with all the good games coming out.

@PapaGlitch That’s a good point too. More games need options to install 4k textures etc. I’d rather have reduced file size then top notch graphics that my terribles eyes barely notice anyways haha

@get2sammyb If you buy the PS4 copy, won’t you need to then keep a large download (upgrade) file on your PS5 as well?

With the limited storage I’d rather not download an upgrade file every time I go back to revisit the game.

I know I’m in the minority on that but it’s still a thought haha.

And yeah, can’t play Horizon on Xbox but when the reality of spending 70$ on a new game hits (last full price game I got was RE8, so it’s not often for me these days) it makes you do a double take and reconsider financial choices lol.

Dang. I want the physical copy on PS5. Oh well, guess I’ll just wait for a slight price drop.

These 70$ games make Xbox look more and more attractive.

@get2sammyb I’ve been begging for PS All Stars 2 since the PS4 launch. Throw me a bone Sony!

Since it’s only the opening of the game - it really just acts as a marketing piece for Sony to sell more copies. Hope they don’t shut it down!

Crazy. I wish my firm thought like this lol.

It makes sense based on why they’re buying them, but they’re also pissing off all their other employees in the process…..

I’m gonna cry if MS buys Capcom.

This is really cool!

Great PR on Sonys end for now. And they can always pull the plug and go exclusive if they find it financially viable in the future.

Or spin off a few new internal studios using Bungie’s help to develop Sonys own FPS games

We all see what’s happening in the streaming space like Netflix etc.

This is the only move that makes sense for traditional console makers to keep up. Lock in as much original content as you can to keep people subscribed. If Sony didn’t start doing this they’d only get left behind as a storefront leader and become like Sega etc when the inevitable streaming future becomes the norm.

That’s a lot of money for one studio. But they do need to secure a FPS legacy in case MS pulls COD

If i can play Bethesda games I’d subscribe.

If streaming is the future of games - which Sony is already invested in and made a deal with MS to bolster cloud services last year - then Sony needs to focus on bumping up its roster of Studios and developing a MUST HAVE storefront. PS Pass and PS Store to compete with Gamepass and Valve. Consoles are probably dying unfortunately and casual gamers will buy a chrome cast like device to stream and play the one or two games they play.

I remember when I first got into following gaming news around 2007 or so this guy seemed to be everywhere (and massively disliked) then kinda disappeared from news until this last year.

Not surprising he’d leave, the dudes got insane cash and is kinda old. Never understood why these type of people wouldn’t retire way earlier then they do. They’ll still never get through all their money.

Also, can we have a Fight For Fortune rerelease on smartphones. Loved that game.

Okay why does 4 have so many votes….

U4 was great. But had some MASSIVE pacing issues at the island and NO MYTHICAL ENEMIES. Come on….so many teases at undead pirates!!

@get2sammyb You can update this, Apparently it’s a fake (but hey, PushSquare got a shoutout here! Lol)

https://jaysbrickblog.com/news/sorry-theres-no-lego-uncharted-set-because-i-started-that-rumour-for-science/

Ew….Elena looks like Marlowe……..

The other figurines are spot on tho

Loved the Nathan Fillion shot. Would love for Sony to do a short TV series based on that but it’ll never happen.

Excited for this tho! Although I AM sick of these headshot posters. Every Marvel/SW poster is the exact same now

This game has been surprisingly fun! Really glad it was a PS+ launch! Grab a buddy and it’s a blast!

Sell a subscription to an emulator and boost that constant revenue stream. Sucks for consumers to constantly shell out $ but genius move for Sony to continue to make money from a back catalogue. Could even start manufacturing old games again and charge a premium.

This doesn’t seem like the right company to make games based on Take Twos properties….

I’m so excited but I have a feeling I won’t be affording this for a while.

Where’s the PushSquare discord? Seriously, that would be awesome.

I play a stupid mobile game and Discord has been so awesome in community building and making friends in my club. It’s a daily chat tool for me now.

Sounds like the work they have left to do is a lot of tweaking, so we may see this early 2023.

I hope they keep at their AA niche and work to synergies between brands/franchises. Comic/Board Game/Video Game crossovers and coordinated releases would be really cool for their bigger franchises.

Dang I keep forgetting there’s a forum!

Nice job everyone!

It went too long and showed too little games and too much blatant advertising.

Hopefully enough people feel the way I do that the numbers will drop next year and they go back to a better format.

It seemed too rigid and formulaic to appease advertisers versus a fun celebration for gamers. Less production and more entertaining moments please.

@AFCC I will never forgive Sony for not going hard on Nintendo clones via PS All STars.

I loved PSAS so much more then Smash.

After years of back and forth this I can’t believe it’s happening

I only played the SOTC remake as well and, while I thoroughly enjoyed it, don’t understand the hype.

I think it’s a great example of a game that worked well in its time, but doesn’t really hold up the same now.

Says in the small text that it’s only for new subscribers

I loved Greedfall, can’t wait for this - although I’m nervous it’ll be hard/souls-like.

I’m guessing this got greenlit before Greedfall became a small hit. I expect a return to that universe for their next game.

Maybe I’m getting old but it felt like a bunch of advertisements and mostly meh games. Kinda mad I wasted my time.

@Fyz306903 I thought that too, but it takes some turns I didn’t expect.

How do you feel about the gameplay?
I loved the gunplay and felt like the enemy AI is leagues ahead of any other game I’ve played.

I still don’t get the hate for TLOU 2. I loved the story and it impacted me more than a 2 hour movie ever could. Spending hours, getting you to the point of hating a character, then switching to having to play as her for hours?!? Made me so mad at first but I love how they did it.

I’m still confused why we need a remake of a 2013 game that is already playable on PS4/5. Besides those stupid ‘have Ellie ride the pallet’ sections the game holds up well.

Why doesn’t Knack 3 have more ‘yes’ responses.

@get2sammyb If that had happened, it would have been an absolutely legendary launch. With the console shortage though, delaying games is probably helping Sony overall. Keep that hype train rolling full steam for when GOW launches

This year overall was bad for games I feel. I’m sure Covid had a lot to do with it, as well as the start of new console cycle. Hoping next year brings some killer AA games.

Dang PushSquare. I only played 4 of the games this year! Haha I had to lie about a 5th

PS2/3 games?? Sign me up!

Enter the Matrix on GameCube was the only game I ever traded in to GameStop lol. Hope this is a better game for the fans haha
