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.
@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.
Square Enix needs to stop expecting every game they release to sell 10 million copies in its first day. They make some nice varied games overall but they keep killing them with their expectations.
It’s a smart business move. Get people hyped again after it’s been out a few years. I expect this to be a standard practice from now on after an exclusive has been out for 3 years
I’ve always wanted to try this so I’ll eventually grab it - but I don’t expect it to hold up well since it is from 2010. A lot of games from them have had mechanics used to death by this point so I’m sure I’ll eye roll a lot haha.
@__marc And i know for a fact on my OG PS4 my speeds were often capped at 3-4 MBPS while my phone would read speed test of 100. Now the PS5 does download significantly faster but that doesn’t mean Sony’s idea of timers starting at download is a good idea. Games are only getting larger.
I’m glad you have god tier internet but your experiences arent universal. This discussion is based on a bad policy not how internet bottlenecks are different for different conditions.
@GreatAuk I’ve had games/large updates (100GB) on my PS4 take over a day. That’s with 100 MBPS internet speeds, but the system downloads much slower. Now the PS5 can handle faster download speeds vs the ps4 but it’s still not at what I’m getting from my internet provider.
Before you go on an entitled rant maybe you should take a few more things into consideration. How about a multi family household where there are multiple downloads or streaming at the same time? How about Comcast deciding to have an outage while you’re download.
To be fair, the PS5 does download a lot faster then PS4 and the games may have ‘download 10% for quick start’ but still - most of the US does not have fast internet and I’m sure many other countries are the same.
Lolol this guy does it to himself. This is exactly why Sony won’t work with him. Game business of today and budgets of today can’t afford people like this as a liability for bad PR.
Didn’t he work on the last Twisted Metal game that no one bought anyways? Maybe it’s time for someone else to steer the ship. I have no idea what this guy has done since PS2 days.
I haven’t found a physical copy cheap yet. GameStop ran a few sales but was always sold out. Been wanting to try it but if it’s Souls like, knowing me I won’t get far, and can’t justify it without a sale.
Dang they’re rebooting TR again. Still have to play the third one but man, crystal dynamics sure likes to reboot after every trilogy. I loved Underworld and the Lara of those games. Kinda hope we go back to that feel
Hasn’t there been enough copies of GTAV sold for everyone on the planet at this point. Maybe it’s a money laundering scheme keeping it so high every week lol.
So many people forget that ND has been shipping multiplayer tie-ins since 2009. TLOU2 was the first game that didn’t have it bundled in. They are experienced with making multiplayer games, that translate very well from the Single player experience. U3 was very well received in terms of its multiplayer. It’s a shame they abandoned U4 after how much support they gave 3 and Factions.
You’d think the company standing to gain the most from locking you into the PS5 ecosystem would be the ones giving the upgrades out for free. Sony’s been doing some strange stuff. I miss the fun times of 2009-early PS4

Re: Sony Reveals Uncharted Movie Poster
After years of back and forth this I can’t believe it’s happening
Re: Boss-Slaying Survival Game Praey for the Gods Quietly Launches on PS5, PS4
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.

Re: Steelrising, the Strange Steampunk French Revolution Game, Has a PS5 Release Window
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.
Re: Talking Point: Did The Game Awards 2021 Live Up to the Hype?
Maybe I’m getting old but it felt like a bunch of advertisements and mostly meh games. Kinda mad I wasted my time.
Re: Naughty Dog's Neil Druckmann to Present at The Game Awards
@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.

Re: Skyrim Anniversary Edition Upgrade Prices Revealed
I was a massive ES fan starting with Oblivion, but Bethesda is just getting annoying with rereleases at this point.
Re: Insomniac Scaled Back Marvel's Spider-Man Boss to Cut Down on Crunch
It really was a beautiful hard hitting emotional fight. It made the whole game for me.
Re: Naughty Dog Marks 10 Years of Uncharted 3 with Special Blog Post
Dang 10 years. I remember skipping school to play this on release.
Multiplayer is still one of the best out there it’s a shame it’s been shut down. U4 really dropped the ball on MP compared to this one.
Re: The Devil In Me Will Be Dark Pictures Anthology's Season One Finale
I haven’t played these yet, but they’re on my list to get - I loved Until Dawn.
I wish Sony would have kept them on board. Would have been cool to get a constant stream of these type of games every 6 months or so as part of PS+
Re: Five Nights at Feddy's the Most Viewed Trailer from State of Play
If the State of Plays were more frequent and we had game reveals and such more often this wouldn’t have felt so bad.
Sony’s building this reputation for silence and every 6 months dropping something…..well that something better be big and not crap like this.

Re: PlayStation Poaches Apple Arcade Exec to Front Smartphone Push
I’d love to see some of Sonys abandoned franchises getting love on Mobile with smaller budgets etc.
As much as people hate mobile gaming. It has its place and can help bring new fans to the fold.
Re: Video: Was 2011 the Best Year Ever for PlayStation?
@Mikey856 KZ2 had one of the best multiplayers imo. And for the time I remember being blown away by the graphics.
Re: Video: Was 2011 the Best Year Ever for PlayStation?
2009 was the best for me
Uncharted 2
MW2
RE5
AC2
Killzone 2
Infamous
Borderlands
Re: Mini Review: Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl (PS5) - Featuring Absolutely No Trace of Doug

Re: Sony Introduces Game Trials, Try PS5 Games for a Limited Time
@Flaming_Kaiser we have a data cap and most speeds are slower then advertised - well - they fluctuate.

5 hours from starting the download!?!? It’s gonna take me 6 hours to download it! Come on Sony!

Re: Bluepoint Games Developing a Brand New Title, Not a Remake
@JustPlainLoco haha I agree - but they’d be perfect to do it after getting experience with Demons Souls.
Re: Bluepoint Games Developing a Brand New Title, Not a Remake
It’s probably Bloodboure 2
Re: Kratos Actor Christopher Judge Says God of War Ragnarok Was Delayed 'Because of Me'
He was such a great actor on Stargate. I’m really glad they’re continuing to use him, he really made Kratos’ performance come to life and fit so well.
Re: Rumour: Destruction AllStars Dev at the Wheel for New Twisted Metal Game
All stars plays well it’s just….boring and aimed at an audience that is not me haha. Hopefully they can nail the classic Twisted Metal Black feel
Re: Action RPG Code Vein Ships 2 Million Copies In Time for Second Anniversary

Re: The Last of Us Fans Hoping for an Update on Factions Today
What the heck. Their update was ‘we’re hiring for multiplayer positions! Hint hint!’ Like…..yeah….everyone’s known that for a year. Good hint.
Re: Tomb Raider, Marvel's Avengers Maker Now Co-Developer on Xbox Exclusive

Re: Project EVE Dev Celebrates PS Showcase Trailer by Buying Entire Team a PS5
Smart move from the boss. Positive PR, and boosting morale.
Re: Feature: Five Years Later, We Remember The Tomorrow Children with Director Dylan Cuthbert
I remember the reveal and really wanted to play it but somehow missed the launch it went offline before I ever had a chance to try.

Re: Negotiations for Death Stranding Sequel Underway, Reveals Star Reedus
The story was pretty complete, a sequel would be strange.
I’d prefer a totally new off the wall game from him versus a sequel.

I beat this game a few weeks ago. Honestly I think I understood the story better before I played the game.
