@SeaDaVie Yeah I agree, Extraction shooters gaining a surge in popularity just before Marathon releases may just be what it needs. But it needs constant support to keep people invested, and I don't know if Bunjie is capable of supporting two big live services games at the same time, they struggle sometimes with Destiny alone.

Also the Switch 2 is Sony's main competition and Nintendo charge for online multiplayer (with less multiplayer games available) so I don't see Sony changing it because of Xbox.

Plus PC has offered free online since the beginning, if any console players cared that much about free online then they would have moved to PC years ago.

@Shepherd_Tallon Yeah, having access to hundreds of games, and 36 games to keep (as long as your subbed) per year is worth £10.99. Cloud saves and online multiplayer are just a bonus.

I don't really pay for Playstation Plus for the multiplayer, I pay for the three free games per month and the Extra/Premium catalog.

But if the PS6 is costing £600 and the next Xbox costs £1200 you could buy the PS6 and 10 years of Playstation Plus Essential for the same price, but you would also get 360 free games during those 10 years.

So it's either Xbox for £1200 with free online multiplayer but no free games or the next playstation for £600, £600 for 10 years of online but with 360 free games. I know what I'd rather have.

@Questionable_Duck She's from an Anime called "A Certain Scientific Railgun" but also in a spin off called "A Certain Magical Index".

Next year could be massive for Sony if they can get these four games out,

Saros
Wolverine
Marvel Tokon
Intergalactic

Plus the massive amount of consoles they will shift once GTA releases.

If Tencent somehow win this case then Sony should 100% block this game from releasing on the PlayStation store.

Well they are different forms of entertainment to begin with, it's like saying TV Shows, Movies and Anime, Manga, Books, YouTube are also Playstations competition, heck even p**n is competition by these standards.

Tiktok is something you can just whip out your phone and watch a few videos on your work/school breaks, console gaming is never going to be that alternative for that short amount of time. If people want to game for 15 minutes that they will just play some mobile game instead.

I'm surprised Bend is still going tbh, Days Gone was a great game but other than that they haven't made anything that great personally. I think they've worked on some spin offs from other devs IP's and Syphon Filter which I've never played.

Hopefully there next game is either Days Gone 2 or something similar with an open world setting with looting and crafting.

Stray is a great game but because I've already played it that makes next month a bad month for me, not interested at all in those other two games.

The base game was great but the content wasn't enough and the post launch support has been very poor.

At this rate in 10-15 years time Halo will be more associated with Playstation than Xbox, crazy.

@PuppetMaster Yeah people didn't bat an eyelid back when Sony invested into Anime years ago, now that Anime is popular all of a sudden Sony are monopolising the market 🙄. Even though there's countless more and bigger Anime studios out there, but of course people who don't even like anime join in on the conversation like they're experts on the subject.

@Moonvalley2006 Who doesn't censor things these days, even Microsoft and Nintendo censor things and even don't allow certain games on their stores. I think Steam is the only place for truly uncensored content, but if you want uncensored anime then the only way is to buy the blu rays or illegal downloads.

@Decimateh-xblz It's exactly like with the Demon Slayer movies, they are canon with the plot so you need to watch it before watching the next season. The film is based on the 5th and 6th volumes of the manga whilst season 2 will be based on volumes 7-10.

Fantastic to see, hopefully this success brings more games based on Anime that isn't Naruto, MHA, Dragon Ball, SAO or One Piece.

Aren't they in the running to buy WB as well.

EAI it's in the game.

This sounds horrendous, not only is AI taking over YouTube thanks to Sora 2 but now is starting to become more mainstream in gaming.

@LifeGirl The handheld won't get any dedicated exclusives for it as it will just be the PS6 but weaker and only play selected games. For the PS6 itself Sony will definitely launch with atleast one exclusive as they always do.

They should just partner with some other publishers/devs to join the concerts instead of it solely being based on Playstation IP's. Surely that would attract more attention, especially with some Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest and Zelda scores.

I won't be buying it, but I may rent the game if it's getting a physical version.

@Moonvalley2006 True, well atleast the only next gen console in terms of high end specs then 😅.

So the next Xbox will be losing even more revenue, if they allow the Steam store as well then they will also lose their 30% cut as more people will buy off Steam than the Xbox store. Then there's the price of the PC itself which is rumoured to be over £1000, which means even less sales than this gens consoles.

That's a lot of lost revenue that will only be passed onto the players by increasing the cost of gamepass, and eventually even more lay offs and closures.

That third party publisher only future is not far away at all.

That's because the PS6 will be the only true next gen console, the next Xbox will be a PC.

This won't last that long by the looks of it.

Did my first playthrough last week and it wasn't so bad in the end (difficulty), those enemy gauntlets at the end were annoying though. But yeah that after credits ending has me itching to start my second playthrough just so I can then start my third playthrough just to get the true end 😑.

Killzone is dead and people need to come to turns with that, the last game sucked and even the previous games were flops by sales metrics. There's just not enough interest in this game (same with Resistance) for Sony to take a gamble.

Shame would rather Sony acquire them over Tencent or the Saudi groups which I'd wager are the frontrunners.

@PuppetMaster Exactly, if anything it's wrong for obvious Xbox fans (look at their bio) to be on a Playstation centric site defending Xbox starting a storm in the comments section. If we did that now on Purexbox we would be branded trolls and banned.

Really does truly baffle me that these obvious non playstation fans are here to begin with kicking up a fuss and some times labelling people as Sony "fan boys", I just find it very ironic and sometimes so hypocritical.

When Microsoft fail against the competition they try to buy them or "out spend" them, so I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft try to buy Tiktok or another entertainment giant at some point. It's just the type of company they are, throw money at problems rather than actually trying.

I understand why Xbox is dead now with people like this leading them. So glad I'm a Playstation/Nintendo only player as I'd be very concerned if I was invested into Xbox as well.

Well I didn't think people on here liked live service games anyway? 🤔

Also without any multiplayer modes that the original had I suspect this shouldn't be a £70 release.

On PS5 i am trying to finish a few games before the 27th as on that day il have Ghost of Yotei, Digimon Story Time Stranger and Final Fantasy Tactics. So my main focus this weekend will be on Borderlands 4 and Black Book.

On Switch 2 it's more Pokémon Legends Z-A and onto Super Mario Galaxy 2

So that's it then, the final piece to their downfall. They are literally just a third party publisher now and are going to lose a lot of players next gen. Even I might start buying their games on Playstation going forward 😂.

@andrewsqual Well apparently he doesn't even own a Series X anymore 🙄.

@OldGamer999 keep your series x gang, Also on GPU day one of course

Meanwhile you a few weeks ago.

"I’m done with Xbox now even though I have GPU until March 2027 the series has been sold. I will just buy any Xbox studio games I want on PS5 Pro, if they really are any top AAA must buys.
I don’t really want to support Microsoft with Xbox anymore so I will try to resist any game purchases of theirs."

I hope they've changed engines for any new games.

Luckily EA dont make anything of interest to me anymore, last game was Dragon Age Veilguard and I doubt we will see another DA again.

@Oram77 @Max_the_German Oh but it's fine for people to call devs lazy for saying the series s is hard to develop for, and for devs to be lazy when it comes to dodgy switch ports. But when it comes to bad PS5 Pro support it's definitely not on the devs 😂.

@SeaDaVie This is why I don't believe their next console will have multiple storefronts, otherwise if players are buying off steam then they get 0% instead of the 30%.

So more developers that are lazy 👍.

@trev666 Xbox are a multiplatform publisher now so this site has every right to publish articles on them, just like they do with EA and Ubisodt etc.

Also if you're talking about being obsessed let's talk about your obsession with Astro Bot and how you keep bringing up it already has five games, or you're obsession with defending Xbox constantly on multiple articles per week.

By including its first-party games in a subscription, experts argue it’s impacting full-price sales.

No s**t sherlock, even the majority of users on here saw that one well in advance.

Only Halo game I've played was Infinite and that was awful, one of the blandest open world attempts I've seen. Also didn't help I didn't have a clue what was going on 😅. But yeah if they make a reboot of the series I may give it a go as I liked the combat, felt a bit "arcadey".

From the trailers I've seen and reviews on YouTube the game just looks so bland, don't get me wrong the visuals are definitely better but it's characters, world and setting is just boring. Just give these guys Fall Out Vegas to remake and il gladly buy that.

But she only mentioned the biggest online multiplayer games. Sony's multiplayer games MLB, Destiny and HellDivers 2 are multiplatform...

I bet this has those haters reeling.

I get my copy on the 27th, I'm looking forward to exploring the map and hunting down the six.
