There's a chance that it could pose a threat to PS but it all comes down to price and how well it performs but even then I think the threat is minimal.
I look at this machine as very niche, PC gamers will stick to thier pcs and console gamers will probably stick to more powerful consoles.
As someone who didn't mind veilguard and one that loves the ME games, I can't wait to see what happens with this. As long as it still has dark undertones like the trilogy then I'm all for it. Looking forward to this release.
Wow what a time to live in, all major first party games from Xbox on PS, this is something I never thought would happen. Now I need the new fable to come to ps as tbh that's really the only game I'm bothered about.
Great news, GoY is an amazing game, I've spent 27hrs so far by doing the side missions and bounties and some story, I'm going for platinum on this like I did for GoT and I'm loving every minute of it. Great work SuckerPunch
I actually think this Sop was good with some good announcements. The games that were shown all look great and I can't wait for some of them to release so I can play them.
@ILuvGames I agree, if profits are what's driving the decision then yeah day 1 release for all but I suspect that they see day 1 launches as hardware sales drivers so I see a one year delay on first party releases.
I think sony should release first party games a year after release on PS, that way they get the most profit from the games and everyone gets to play eventually which is good for gamers.
I'm not fussed that this has a day 1 patch although my Internet speed is really poor so means a wait to download it which sucks. I'm hoping this game is good but I've rented it and not purchased so I'll take it or leave it, no big deal.
This looks brutal and beautiful all in one go. I already preordered the delux edition and I can't wait, I love GoT and this looks like a continuation of that and I'm up for it.
I don't see Sony releasing 1st party games day 1 to any console but they will likely port them over a few years later which imo is fine by me. I'll be getting the ps6 anyway because ps is my preferred way to game.
When the ps4 pro came out over here in the UK, Game our local games shop did an amazing deal where if you traded in your ps4 you only needed to pay £80 for the pro. If they had done a deal where trading in the ps5 and you just needed to pay £150 for the pro I would have done it and I expect many others would have too.
Well that's me well and truely out of this one, I thought it was a SP game tbh not a weird fortnite clone. Oh well, luckily plenty of other games to play.
I played DS when it first came out and just thought it was a walking Sim and I couldn't understand the hype, I dropped it. I went back to a couple of months ago and it all just clicked, I loved the exploration, the obstacles, the story, I couldn't stop playing it so I'm really looking forward to this.
I think it will launch at 30fps fixed on the base ps5 and maybe 45fps fixed on the pro. The inevitable remaster will run at 60fps on the Ps6. They gotta make that bank!
I just watched a clip on YT and I have to say that this looks really good, it's gave me lost Odyssey vibes and I love that. Looking forward to this for sure.
I don't mind A.I if it's used by creatives to streamline thier work load but if A.I is being used to get rid of creatives then I have a problem. A.I shouldn't be used to replace staff.
The switch 2 will sell a ton of consoles so it's competitive in that regard but when it comes to power ect, I think it's going to be closer to the ps4 (maybe). Now give me a luigis mansion 4 and a new Mario game.
I thought outlaws was OK but not great, I enjoyed Kay and nix and thought the other chars were good. Jedi survivor though was amazing and I really enjoy playing a Jedi and I thought the story was alot better than outlaws. I think Shadows will be a defining moment for UBI and I want shadows to do well, I'm looking forward to it anyway. I guess we've just got to sit back and watch this space and see if UBI is sold to Tencent after Shadows.
I'm all for this delay, I'm looking forward to Shadows and more time to flesh out bugs ect is only a good thing. I hope this game does really well for UBI.
I think it's actually a great idea that's been implemented in a really bad way. Stars should be available from the console and you should be able to showcase your wall of collections and also be able to view friends collections to. You should be able the view and select quests on the console also.
I just think they need to fully integrate it to the ps5 and thus make it more appealing overall. At the moment it feels like and idea sony had but never realised it's full potential.
When I first played DS I didn't like it at all, I thought it was just a walking Sim, so switched it off and left it alone, I went back to it in 2024 and I got really into it although the story was confusing to me, I ended up enjoying the game overall, I'm really looking forward to DS2 but as it plays like the first one I might find myself playing it and dropping it only to come back to it later and enjoy it. We shall see.
If it's anything like the the OG Starship Troopers then I'm all for it, that movie was so ahead of it time and I would love to see Van dein get a part in the movie, that would be cool.
I'm not to fussed about how powerful the switch 2 will be because they will still release amazing games that reach the hardwares full potential. If they can get tears of the kingdom to run on the og switch then the new hardware with a new zelda game is going to be awesome.
I might actually give SS a go now it's free but I'm not expecting much, as for the other games they're not my thing. Wondering what games we'll get for extra and premium this month. Wasssuupp.
If Sega are going to do this then I hope it's something that can be added to ps plus or gamepass, like ubi classics and ea play. They would have to get the pricing right though.
I tried my hardest to get into stalker 2 on the xbox but I couldn't get passed the first anomaly due to an invisible enemy one hit killing me over and over again, so frustrating!
How can anyone comment on a deal when they don't have a clue what happened behind closed doors, this deal might be the deal they wanted all along we just don't know and we can't speculate. I personally think this is a good thing for all and in the end gamers don't miss out, we all get to play From Software games which is great as for what Microsoft might make exclusive we just don't know, I was very shocked to see that the OuterWorlds 2 will be mulit platform so you never know what games will be exclusive or not.
As I've said before..... If they're releasing a pro variant then they need to also do a big trade in deal like they did for the ps4 pro. Here (south UK) our local game did an amazing deal of trading in the standard ps4 and paying £50 to upgrade to the pro. Now if Sony do a deal like that then I'm game and I'll get it but if they don't then I'll stick with my base PS5 and wait for the PS6 whenever that gets released.

Re: Expedition 33, Ghost of Yotei Have Started Scooping Up GOTY Awards
I'm shocked that Yotei didn't win more here, for me this game was perfect and looked absolutely beautiful.
E33 is a great game which I haven't completed yet but I don't see how that won over yotei for visuals.
Re: Talking Point: The Game Awards 2025 Nominations Announced - Who Are Your Winners?
Well if E33 doesn't win GOTY then there will be alot of unhappy people. Me personally I though DS2 was my GOTY but I expect E33 to win.

Re: Poll: Do You Use PS Stars?
I think it's actually a great idea that's been implemented in a really bad way. Stars should be available from the console and you should be able to showcase your wall of collections and also be able to view friends collections to. You should be able the view and select quests on the console also.
