Re: PS6 to 'Push the Boundaries' of Graphics, Doubles Down on Machine Learning

More "powah"... What about more games?! (firstparty for all the wordtwisters out there). Everyone likes flashier games and whatnot, but I want Playstation to get back in the productionflow they had last gen. Great singlepalyer games, surprises and so on.
This time will be the first time the last 30 years I'm not 100% I will preorder next console from Sony. If they don't step up this gen I stick to my backlog for a loooong time.

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for July 2025?

@Northern_munkey "you've got nothing to lose. I wouldn't recommend playing it on easy as the loot drops are crap. I'd go for hard or expert and bump the world tier up to 2 as soon as you can."

That will be hard as Blizz are nerfing the hell out of all classes latetly so that wont be fun for a new player imho.

Finished the Nioh 3 Alpha Demo with 100% completion on map and just beat the bonus mission on the next difficulty. Best demo the last 20 years in my opinion. Can't wait for the full game to come next year. They usually release in Feb/March so I hope this game will too. Tomorrow I probably play some PoE2. Or farm some more "titles" in Nioh 3 demo

Re: The Order 1886 Could Have Been a Big Trilogy of PlayStation Games

But at the time it was known that the studio tripled the expected cost on this project and Sony got fed up with it and set a releasedate that they needed to deliever on. Same as Driveclub. Great games but they got stuck in development for too long so Sony pulled the plug on the projects. A real bummer in my opinion, in both cases!

Re: Nintendo Is Displaying Hubris Which Would Make Even PS3 Era Sony Blush

@chrisPatsox Actually not, before the Trumpregime started economic war against the rest the world -
Swedish PS5 Pro Price: 10495 sek (swedish kronor)
PS5 Pro release price 699$ = 6945 sek
Tax on electronics in Sweden 20% - 6945 x 1.20 = 8334 sek!! (That's 839$ !! - and should be the REAL price here a few $ more or less)
10495 minus 8334 = 2161 sek down in Sonys greedy hands as pure profit. (2161 sek = 217,50$)

So no, our taxes isn't the real problem. It's the 25% profit on each sold PS5 Pro that Sony takes out and put in it's pockets.
My very good friend who works as a seller of Iphones towards companies told me that Apple makes about 8% per sold unit here in Sweden. 8% > 25%.. Do I need to say more?

Actually I say one more thing: The release price is what Sony wants to sell it for and still make profit. But regardless they choose to drain their Swedish gamers with an extra 25% on the Pro. I don't support it now, and I will sure not support it if PS6 have the same fantasy pricesetting !

Re: Croc: Legend of the Gobbos (PS5) - Cult Favourite Platformer Returns in Robust Remaster

@rusty82 Same here, my wishlisted game was the PS4 version. I think it should default to PS5 version when you play on PS5 and have only your PS5 connected to the app. Room for improvement here Sony. Waiting for support to answer now to get refund so I can buy the correct version...

Edit: over 20 min in queue, 2.5 min to get refund back on my account. Wow, that was indeed fast!! I guess they just canceled the amount reserved from my bank so it got released instantly. Now I bought the PS5 edition and downloading

Re: Starfield Could Have Released on PS5 Already, Work Has Been Ongoing for a While

@Lysterao I can't recall Sony Corporation ever buying up a Publisher like Activision Blizzard, or Zenimax (owning Bethesda and a few other studios)??
Sony has bough a few studios that they worked close with, but not an entire publisher so that's a bad example from you.
And Playstation has always been a closed environment, that's what most of us like about it to begin with.
DVD was always Open Source so yet another bad example.
You not even comparing apples and oranges, more like apples and coconuts.
So no, Sony didn't start the trend of buying up publishers.

Re: Naughty Dog's Intergalactic Unlikely to Release on PS5 Until 2027

@KeanuReaves You just made it very clear to me why Sony love to remaster/remake their games instead of making new I.P's!
I'm not their target audience any longer it seems, but you sure as heck seems to be.
Edit: So by your definition my original VHS copies of the original Star Wars trilogy isn't the same movies because they upgraded them digitally, added a few scenes and improved the sound from Stereo 2.0 to THX/ Dolby Atmos 7.1 on my 4K moviediscs? Sorry, but it's still the same movies just as Last Of Us is the same game despite what edition it is.
It's the same game. You can't convince me otherwise because it's just not true that the same game can be 2 different games.

Re: New PS5 Firmware Update Available from Today in Phased Launch

Zeke68

@KilloWertz Try start your PS5 , turn OFF autoupdates on games, Turn Off your PS5. Restart with new setting and now turn it ON again and turn it (PS5) off to save the settings. Now see if that reset make it work again?
If you have GT7 installed you should see the new patch download today unless it was relesed in your country yesterday, here it will be released soon.

Re: Naughty Dog's Intergalactic Unlikely to Release on PS5 Until 2027

@themightyant I stand corrected. But I was talking about 1st party only. And I forgot to add non sports, non multiplayer - just single playergames, as that is all that I play anyway.
And you mention Rise of Ronin and so on, those aren't made by 1st party. And MLB, who plays that apart from americans and very VERY few europeans?
And now we count Spiderman games, Horizon and God Of War all of a sudden, even if they are more PS4 games than PS5 games if we are honest?? Don't think so.

To be clear, I meant 1st party only and games that are only released on PS5. Not crossgen.

@CWill97 PS5 has been really weak for most Playstation studios you mean? Insomniac and Team Asobi it keeping Sony afloat together with Arrowhead Games Studio (Helldivers 2)

Going into this generation Sony had 21 first party studios, aquired a few more and now the got rid of a few and have less during the beginning of the last half of this generation.
They need to sort this out a.s.a.p.
No need to buy a PS6 at release as they haven't even got their PS5 games out yet...
