Borderlands 2 was so good at the time. But I just didn’t think 3 held up to todays standards in gaming compared to other shooters on the market.

This does look cool tho and I hope to give it a try at some point down the road!

Rayman 4

Or a remake/re release of Rayman 2 and 3.

3 was ported to the PS3 so idk why they didn’t port it over to the PS4 yet.

It’s a shame Death Stranding gets such a bad reputation. The beginning two or three chapters are a bit of a slog (and maybe a misstep on the devs part for how long it is) but after that, vehicles and combat and the different suits and such make it pretty fun.

The story is really engaging and unique. Glad I played it. Not one I’d personally replay, but I was happy for the experience and would encourage people to give it a shot (and not judge it on the opening hours)

I hope it’s an optional add on to PS+.

As someone who doesn’t watch anime I have no interest in seeing my PS+ cost slightly rise due to anime.

Do FIFA players really ask for better product placement in their games?!?

Lol adidas vs Nike, seems like EA just wants to be able to charge for ads in their games to more companies

Wow a year off??? Are three studios still rotating on the games?

I’m sure the negative avengers press, lack of Big Marvel film hype around release. And the fact that the character models look nothing like the big screen counterpart, really slowed the interest from casual fans (myself included)

I’m shocked they’re still releasing large free content for the game with no way to get $$ besides new sales.

Breath of fresh air in todays industry.

If they can relaunch some sort of emulation with PS Plus to allow for purchases of these old games or streaming then, then shut ‘em down!

I’m pretty excited for this. Hopefully the changes are all positives and the biggest thing they need to do is ADD content, not take away like they did with RE3. It was far too short of an experience.

Like everyone else, was excited until I saw F2P. Will still give it a shot, but not as excited haha

Okay. So what about the immensely popular Elder Scrolls games?

Seems like a chicken fight here to see who’s gonna pull content first.

With Sony having some ammo in the form of Bungie, it’s mutually beneficial for them to be sharing some franchises cross console with all the DLC purchases. Especially as bungie goes multi-IP

I remembering being so hyped at that gameplay demo and their vision - even tho it did seem like an unrealistic vision.

After this long, it’s probably for the best to axe it and Move on

@IonMagi oh I forgot about those ‘demo’ type games that came out.

Is there a reason why their output slowed? I think GT5 was due to them modeling 1000 high def cars but I would assume they’re not remodeling those every time now?

@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.
