Re: Those Classic Final Fantasy Remakes Are Reputedly Still in Development

I'm a big Square Enix fan and I think this is the first time I've seen them so quiet. They are so hush about their pipeline, they only have DQI and II HD announced for this year, and have gone very quiet on KHIV and DQXII. Even their mobile side seems absent. I'm so used to them in the past having over 10 announced games in the pipeline at any given time. They've only given us 3 next gen ganes so far as well

Re: Reaction: The PS5 Discourse Around State of Plays Is Becoming Draining

My issue with State of Play is inconsistency, when Sony started the format they were quite dull affairs, but got better over the years. We haven't had a showcase since May 2023 and honestly that wasn't much better than a SoP, September 2021 was their last good big presentation. State of Plays seem to be their only connection to gamers currently and they had a couple of decent ones last year that felt like showcases.

The latest sop I feel needed to be a big deal, the Playstation roadmap is a bit weak currently, Microsoft has a huge line up this year, nintendo has the Switch 2 and no doubt some great first party exclusives. If Sony won't give us a showcase then we look at sop's for our big news

Re: PlayStation Has Swiftly Solved Its Profitability Problem

@get2sammyb past consoles I may have bought a spare controller or 2, and maybe a 3rd party accessory. So far for my ps5 I have purchased, headphones, dual charger station, ps portal, 3 extra controllers all official Sony products. I think they got the PlayStation 5 aesthetic right, all the things look cool and must own

Re: Sony Says the Best Time to Get a PS5 Is Now

Vivisapprentice

I mean there definitely isn't a lack of new games, and I never struggle finding something good to play.

But I understand why people are saying lack of software, and I think that's because Sony still hasn't released that killer app for PS5, the must play, must own game. The biggest titles they've released on PS5 have been cross-gen, and on reflection Spider-man 2 was a little disappointing, I still haven't seen anything on the technical level TLOU Part II was, which released over 4 years ago. The fact Sony is keeping their cards close to their chest doesn't help things, as there is not much to look forward to from them in the next year or 2
