Always hated this emulator because it was just NEVER that good nor optimised well. PCSX, their PS1 emulator was crap too. The first Beta release of ePSXe KICKED the arse of PCSX lol. And it only got better and better from there. For 20 years I wanted the same team to do a PS2 emulator........ and yet all we were left with was the PCSX team's attempt, sigh.
@OldGamer999 Haha adorable. Nobody is keeping their series x's lol, although well done in saying people should keep them and you didn't inaccurately tell people to go out and buy a console impossible to buy most days.
What did Riskitforthebiskit say when he was tearing up in his car over the "only 4 games" rumours 2 long years ago?
Oh yeah, if a PS5 Pro is coming out, what is the point in having an Xbox?
Enjoy mediocre Outworlds 2 running better on series x. Milk it to the heavens dude while continuing to ignore the THOUSANDS of games that standard PS5 has ran better than series x the past half decade. Milk it, its all you have left.
FH6 isn't going to be on UE5 hahahaha. So I guess yuor graphicas excuse is out on that one................... but milk it hard that PS5 owners have to wait an agonizing.......... couple of weeks to get a native version of FH6.
Its a wrap. Halo, Gears and Forza are coming/out on PS5. The 2 year carefully planned band aid removal is finished. And you are ABSOLUTELY fine with the outcome. Mission accomplished slimy Phil, you have Xbots accepting ANYTHING today and they don't even realise it.
Oh should they??? Sony should put games on Xbox "NOW". Why "now"??? Because you are hurting so bad inside from this news today, that's why lol. You need balance, you need something to offset these feelings.
Sony would waste money developing games for the 2 separate failure consoles Xbox made this gen. Why would they do that? Xbox users don't buy games, as shown with how bad Helldivers 2 flopped and barely charted on Xbox. Its impossible money to make, stop lying to yourself. If you are so desperate to play PlayStation games, and you clearly are, then buy a PS5 already or buy them on Steam. Typical hypocrite Xbot. I don't want cartoony Halo nor will I be buying it.
@shiningpikablu252 It could be worse. At least for this Microsoft game release they put it on the front of the case that additional download is required to install and play. 2 years ago Starfield and Forza 8 and their 100gb+ install sizes DID most certainly NOT fit on the single 50gb bluray discs that they shipped with. It was on small text on the back of the cases that online was required to even install them......... and nobody noticed. Nobody. I guess it needs to be on the front of the case for gaming websites to get the pitchforks out lol.
Not only that but I can confirm only 20gbs is on the disc. And I think this is because, 20gbs is the original Digital version release's point of the download when it lets you start playing the game (which is only the tutorial part of the game and right before you try to go out to the main map). So that part was put on the disc and the rest is a 119gb download. Its a shame but it was never going to fit within a 100gb bluray disc anyway so it is what it is.
What angers me is that they didn't even have a brand new patch ready today for the physical release since its been nearly 3 months since the last significant "1.2" update (which didn't fix the biggest performance problems that get worse the more you play it).
AWESOME, waiting for the Shadow of Templar Reforged' Collector's Edition from Kickstarter to ship. There is already a placeholder for Broken Mirror Reforge's Collector's on Kickstarter too. Day one again. It's insane how detailed every scene is in the 1st remaster. To think that 30 YEARS LATER they would do such a thing. Can't wait to get lost in the jungles again.
Ah, its things like this that remind me I can be happy with gaming and its not all misery lol.
Wouldn't it be crazy if they remade Broken Sword 3 entirely INTO a classic drawn point and click game? The controls and QTE and visuals were awkward and a mixed bag in that game. 4 would definitely work since it was a point click game but more in 3D.
@sanderson72 Ironically the original game fits into an 8gb DVD, even the GOTY version that the 2 main expansions. I even think that Skyrim on 360 back in the day managed to fit within the single layer 4gbs of a DVD. Its clearly UE5 bloat that is the cause of the big size.
Edit, its finally shown up at the store I buy my stuff at. 45 euro, not bad.
The game is over 100gbs. It was never going to fit on the PS5 100gb disc. I'm still okay with that as I have never paid more than a tenner for big name digital game.
Starfield and Forza 8 2 years ago were over 100gbs and never fit on the 50gb discs that came with them. Its in tiny print on the back of the box. Nobody ever talked about it.
Yep although was I the only one saying that slimy Phil shouldn't be allowed access to more studios that he will, historically proven, RUN INTO THE GROUND, like HIS 343i studio. That alone should have put the brakes on everything.
I'm having a hard time justifying buying their games day one anymore since I get nothing extra whatsoever and the trash pointless expensive Collector's Edition doesn't even come with a disc. This is exactly why I ended up ignoring Death Stranding 2, I'm not joking.
I haven't played MGS3 Remake yet but I bought it, DAY ONE because of that cool, only 100 quid, Special Edition with cool physical things....... and a disc. Tried to tell Sony on their blog numerous times, they won't listen, DS2 flopped hard.
After that rant, how do you think I feel about a waste of time rewards system? Most profitable gen ever....... and they are so lousy and pull this nonsense.
Funny, I love H1. 2 and Contracts. Was disappointed by Blood Money back in the day and whatever the one after that is called. Was LONG done with the franchise when they started that episodic trash.
If this was just Silent Assassin and Contracts from the PS3 release, I would be all over it. But just like with the PS4 re-release, no thanks, whatsoever.
Wait, this isn't a remaster of one of the last 2 games (which I can't figure out when they stopped putting numbers on them and then the completely different names for the franchise in the US).
NO WONDER this looks like crap. The character models are so weird looking and the grass doesn't even look as highly detailed as the last few games.
Welcome to the new multiplatform present day everyone where games and franchises suffer but so long as its put on every platform as possible, that's all that matters. Like Horizon Lego, I won't be touching this trash.
Don't care, won't be playing 1 second of that tacked on part of the game that ironically stopped the entire game from basically launching waaaaay sooner, as is the case with the tacked on multiplayer modes the past 2 decades in games. Which is hilarious when you consider all those single player games are still playable today and the tacked on multiplayer portions, 99% of them are LONG dead.
@BigRadical Who said they were short. You press up on the analogue stick for 50 minutes at the start of Hellblade 2. You want that, you are "welcome" to it.
When a game focuses so much of its development on motion capture and story, then it better be something more like a Quantic Dream game where EVERY scene has multiple outcomes and all had to be uniquely acted and recorded. The most shocking thing about Hellblade 2 and its 6 years of development and Xbox's "endless budget that will make it like a GOW 2018 game", as the Xbots claimed, HOW has it not got replay value in multiple outcomes or choices or SOMETHING like that. Al that mocap and just a linear story?
So is the next game going to have 4 enemy encounters to keep it in line with having an insanely less amount of enemy encounters than the previous game?
They can go as far "in" as they want, Frostbite and DICE and especially EA, are absolute trash. Haven't bought an EA game in 13 years and how are they fairing today with most of their once great franchises and studios, for example Mass Effect and Bioware?
It's not going to be on the disc fully. Isn't the game 140gbs? So no, it's not going to be all on a 100gb bluray disc. I'm not sure why you are all asking this lol.
And it's NOT going to be on 2 discs, not in a million years. Starfield and Forza 8 were both over 100gbs in size at their launches and were both put on a single 50gb bluray for their series x release, with the games labeled in small text on the back that an Internet connection is needed to setup the games.
Will it be 100mbs of data that is only the disc though, for absolutely no reason, that is the question that needs answering when it comes to slimy Xbox.
It's good but Xbox's best game they have made in 7 years since FH4 couldn't come close to the 2 or 3 million sales that the best PlayStation games sell when they launch...... within a few days.
And people going nuts that it was "dominating" the PS charts, really? 2 million sales. Watch everything get annihilated by Ghost of Yotei by comparison then.
And there goes the excuse of FF16 flopping HARD on Xbox. "Oh its because its an older game". FH5 just pooed all over that excuse lol. PS players buy games. Facts.
I agree with others on why is it supposed to be outrageous? For the people who still don't realise, Forza Horizon 5 is, the unanimous, without question, BEST GAME, Xbox has developed and released in the past 7 years, the last being FH4 in 2018, is on PlayStation. Wouldn't it expect to sell decently. It just didn't do the numbers top tier PS game would.
It doesn't matter WHAT other games ever come over to PlayStation (classic Gears, classic Halo) or don't (Avowed, South of Midnight, Halo Infinite, yes these games are never coming because they are mid or bad or failures) from Xbox, the best game is already there. Its done.
It's crazy this game wasn't even revealed this time last year. And it has more gameplay than State of Decay 3, Fable, Everwild and Perfect Dark combined.
DA ROADMAP games, that are basically development hell games after half a decade, are not the future.
They went to the bother, and then didn't bother to put the same physical day one disc in the Collector's Edition. Its digital only. The CE is still available to buy right now because a lot of us didn't bother with it. But I took it a step further. Why would I pay 80 euro for just the standard game and nothing extra? A big fan like me is just left disappointed and so........... I didn't buy it now and don't intend to anytime soon. It takes a skill for PS today to make a person who bought all their games day one, to simply not bother anymore.
"Microsoft Gaming boss Phil Spencer, who oversees subsidiaries like Bethesda, predictably played to the crowd a few years ago, urging for “industry-wide game preservation”. We’re not sure how shipping blank discs is helping to realise that vision."
Wait... are you implying that Phil Slimy Tactics Spencer went 3 minutes WITHOUT lying about something lol?
Wukong is an example people should be following. The game was 108gbs at launch and with updates they got it below 100gbs and FULLY PLAYABLE OFFLINE when printing it to the 100gb bluray disc.
How many articles have you or any other gaming journalist ran praising this? And there is the problem too.
And PlayStation are not responsible for the 3rd party publisher Xbox. Again, how many of you highlighted since 2023 that Starfield and Forza 8 are over 100gbs at launch.... and so they most certainly do not fit on the 50gb disc they ship on. If Xbox isn't bothered on their own games, nobody can complain if any other large 3rd party game ships on a single disc on Xbox. And the same if they bring them to other consoles.
But I agree, PlayStation should talk about it because its easy marketing and highlights slimy Phil's, yet again, LIES and hypocrisy.
@Lysterao Not really when you consider there are more Digital PS5 consoles, BEFORE the console with the physical attachment, out there than series s consoles. PlayStation has been doing consistent DAY ONE digital releases along with physical releases since Mass Effect 2 launched in January 2011. Xbox only did this finally when Xbone launched. Halo 4 had a digital release day one as an experiment but Xbox didn't do it with any of their own games next until Forza 5.
In short, PS was doing digital releases at a bigger level long before Xbox was. And the fact of the matter is, nobody realises this nor will believe these facts I just said.
Not a shock since series consoles AND Xbone made up 6% of the physical sales of Crisis Core Reunion, 3 and a half years ago...... and that wasn't on game pass.
Oh I'm so sorry, I need to be a sheep here. Ahem "well duh, this isn't a shock since the game is on game pass and as we all know a game will sell just fine on Xbox if its NOT on game pass. You need to just ignore facts like the first sentence of this comment."
Is that better? Can I get my shill liar check from slimy Phil now?
Any other details on the music? I love the music in Oblivion but its very short and repetitive today compared to Skyrim's sheer number of tunes and even the variety of music that plays as the sun is setting or rising too. Are there any new additional pieces of music at all or is it just the exact same amount of music as the original?
@Frmknst Game pass Ultimate, the highest and most expensive tier of game pass, that Indiana Jones was placed into by the time it launched 4 years later........ is not free lol. And the new expensive tier that Fable, State of Decay 3 and Perfect Dark will be in by the time they release, in another half a decade, will most certainly not be "free" either.
Nope, I generally don't touch any games that has Xbox/Microsoft's name attached to it. Indie looks abysmal, dead looking dull world, awful slow combat were enemies line up to attack and won't even follow over a 2ft drop lol and even more awfully slow and dull traversal. This is another one of those games where the reviews just make NO SENSE.
Its like they went out of their way to make it as little like Uncharted as possible, making it less like Indiana Jones in the process.
Can anyone remember the promise of the world's most powerful console the series x and how it gets its ass handed to it by PS5 for the past 4 years straight and the promise that it would do 60fps minimum on all games forward as the new standard, when that isn't even true for its own studio's games?
Again, PS5 games ARE SMALLER than the other platform that has the near identical looking game just about every single time, sometimes it's even significantly smaller too.
Well series x consoles aren't available in stores anymore and it never even made it to 7 million units sold so over 4 years later so................ yeah, it is what it is.
For people who don't understand, series x is the only console with a disc drive Microsoft put out this gen..... and its gone from most stores all over the world.
When there is no clear release schedule of 1st party PlayStation games coming....... 4 years into the gen, that I and millions of others can give full price money to PS for, IN THE MILLIONS, IN THE FIRST FEW DAYS A GAME RELEASES............. then I don't know how this route can mean anything. Lego Horizon was a spectacular flop because, I'm never buying a Horizon game on a multiplat game engine, designed to run on a Nintendo console even Nintendo stopped making games for. And I can tell you right now.........nobody on PC and Switch bought it either lol.
Just look at the comments on that blog post and the amount of us PS fans that weren't buying it.
One of the BEST comments on that link I posted and still true to this day
WRREAL2 said "you are lucky Xbox is incompetent as ever." So, so, so true even 4 years later.
Shame the franchise died for me years ago with that episodic format crap, nothing to do with Square Enix contrary to popular belief. And then when they did another remaster last gen, they left out 2 and Contracts, the only 2 games I care about.
Makes sense, series x only sold 6.5 million units after 4 years before disappearing from retail stores everywhere 2 months ago. Its basically ceased manufacturing at this point.
And 3rd party publisher Xbox said that PS5 made up of 64% of their sales in December 2024.............. the month that Indiana Jones launched and wasn't even available on PS5. That number would have easily been 80% had it came to PS5. That means Xbox and PC make up a measly 10% each of game sales. Why do Square Enix need to double their development time with multiplatform day one releases again???
Tell me about it. Xbox shills have given up so much they are doubling down on the "exclusives don't matter" and "exclusives are were always a bad idea anyway"........... and then NEVER bring up Nintendo in these arguments whatsoever, who triple down on bringing nothing to PC.
The arguments are solely fueled by PlayStation hatred and nothing more...... as was always the case in anything they ever did and pivot and change the goal posts to.
@Ultimapunch Don't waste your breath. Xbox consoles are DONE, series x can't be bought anymore in thousands of stores across the world in every continent and country. But these clowns will die on that hill claiming that PlayStation are in the exact same position as Xbox right now, saying ALL console gaming is dead.......... while, like I said above, REFUSING to talk about Nintendo and how they are still 100% exclusive and going after PC gamers stealing their games.
But the console war still rages on. After 5 consoles PS is sitting at over 530 million sold and Nintendo around 430 million after 8 consoles. Just because Xbox fizzled out around 180 million after 5 consoles doesn't mean "all console gaming is dead" lol. And an under performing style Steam deck like handheld next gen will change NOTHING for Xbox.
To understand the visuals of The Order 1886, play it for a few hours. Then fire up the AC Syndicate E3 2015 Cinematic trailer and look at the bar scene during the last minute. This trailer aired 4 months AFTER The Order launched, is a 100% CG cutscene..... and The Order 1886's inengine visuals, match it. Crazy.
It's a real shame. It came too late but an The Order 1886 sequel, made in the same semi open world style of God of War 2018, would have been amazing. Like Assassin's Creed 1, the foundations of The Order were there, it just needed a sequel to flesh everything out better like in AC2 where you can collect every weapon in the game and have your own HQ, you can go back to..... and just about everything else that AC2 did better over the 1st one.
Such a waste of their engine to get no flex the past decade before they were shut down.
Sony didn't match the 3DS. They undercut it. The 3DS was 270 quid when it launched Europe and was like a budget gamecube. The Vita was 250 quid, a budget PS3 like hardware and an OLED screen. It was insane.
And like others said, MH World proved people would buy a brilliant current gen MH game if they bothered to make one. They were making PS2 MH games for over a decade lol. On PS2, PSP, Wii, 3DS, YEARS of PS2 looking MH games and no evolving the technology whatsoever.
That is what the no vision, multiplat only future will look like if some people get their wish.
@Nexozi Yeah, the sequel to Ghost of Tsushima, that launched the same week in 2020 that Fable and State of Decay 3 were announced. That would be hilarious if the sequel launched before those games even got a concrete release date or release year (its hilarious yet has every chance of happening).
@Worlock_ed That's just a lie. GT7. HUNDREDS of other games the past 2 decades. How many games were brought over like 9 lol? That's all the PlayStation games yeah?
SO TRUE. Another flop single player PC game bites the dust. Not even the best selling PS game on PC is anything worth writing home about.
I've said it time and time again, if FF16 and its 3 million in only 7 days on PS5 is considered a flop, then what do the SAME PEOPLE call the PC version that didn't even sell 200,000 in 150 days???

Re: 'It's Not About Checking Off a Map, It's About Engaging with What Excites You': Ghost of Yotei PS5 Gameplay Stuns
It's crazy this game wasn't even revealed this time last year. And it has more gameplay than State of Decay 3, Fable, Everwild and Perfect Dark combined.
DA ROADMAP games, that are basically development hell games after half a decade, are not the future.
Re: Sony Still Does Physical Gaming Properly, Death Stranding 2 Fully Playable from Disc
They went to the bother, and then didn't bother to put the same physical day one disc in the Collector's Edition. Its digital only. The CE is still available to buy right now because a lot of us didn't bother with it.
But I took it a step further. Why would I pay 80 euro for just the standard game and nothing extra? A big fan like me is just left disappointed and so........... I didn't buy it now and don't intend to anytime soon. It takes a skill for PS today to make a person who bought all their games day one, to simply not bother anymore.
How did they manage to pull that off?

Never bought Red Dead 3 so neither news means a thing to me lol.
Re: PS5, PC Live Service Fairgames Is a 'Super Clunky' Cross Between Fortnite and The Division
So a cross between a game I wouldn't add for free to my PSN account or an utter trash overated Ubisoft crapfest game.
I wonder why my instinct told me this month 2 years ago that Fairgames at its debut, was day one dead garbage?
Re: Reaction: Game Key PS5 Discs Are a Disgrace, and Sony Should Put a Stop to Them
"Microsoft Gaming boss Phil Spencer, who oversees subsidiaries like Bethesda, predictably played to the crowd a few years ago, urging for “industry-wide game preservation”. We’re not sure how shipping blank discs is helping to realise that vision."
Wait... are you implying that Phil Slimy Tactics Spencer went 3 minutes WITHOUT lying about something lol?
Wukong is an example people should be following. The game was 108gbs at launch and with updates they got it below 100gbs and FULLY PLAYABLE OFFLINE when printing it to the 100gb bluray disc.
How many articles have you or any other gaming journalist ran praising this? And there is the problem too.
And PlayStation are not responsible for the 3rd party publisher Xbox. Again, how many of you highlighted since 2023 that Starfield and Forza 8 are over 100gbs at launch.... and so they most certainly do not fit on the 50gb disc they ship on. If Xbox isn't bothered on their own games, nobody can complain if any other large 3rd party game ships on a single disc on Xbox. And the same if they bring them to other consoles.
But I agree, PlayStation should talk about it because its easy marketing and highlights slimy Phil's, yet again, LIES and hypocrisy.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Expedition 33 Debuts in Second Place, Almost All Sales for PS5 Version
@Lysterao Not really when you consider there are more Digital PS5 consoles, BEFORE the console with the physical attachment, out there than series s consoles. PlayStation has been doing consistent DAY ONE digital releases along with physical releases since Mass Effect 2 launched in January 2011. Xbox only did this finally when Xbone launched. Halo 4 had a digital release day one as an experiment but Xbox didn't do it with any of their own games next until Forza 5.
In short, PS was doing digital releases at a bigger level long before Xbox was. And the fact of the matter is, nobody realises this nor will believe these facts I just said.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Expedition 33 Debuts in Second Place, Almost All Sales for PS5 Version
Not a shock since series consoles AND Xbone made up 6% of the physical sales of Crisis Core Reunion, 3 and a half years ago...... and that wasn't on game pass.
Oh I'm so sorry, I need to be a sheep here. Ahem "well duh, this isn't a shock since the game is on game pass and as we all know a game will sell just fine on Xbox if its NOT on game pass. You need to just ignore facts like the first sentence of this comment."
Is that better? Can I get my shill liar check from slimy Phil now?
Re: Oblivion Remastered: Everything New and All Changes Compared to the Original Oblivion
@ShogunRok Damn. Some beta or rare additions would have been awesome.
Re: Oblivion Remastered: Everything New and All Changes Compared to the Original Oblivion
Any other details on the music? I love the music in Oblivion but its very short and repetitive today compared to Skyrim's sheer number of tunes and even the variety of music that plays as the sun is setting or rising too. Are there any new additional pieces of music at all or is it just the exact same amount of music as the original?
Re: 'You'll See the Difference,' Says Bend Studio of Days Gone PS5's Improvements
Its also smaller on PS5 over PS4 too. OH NO, BUT SONY PROMISED GAMES WOULD BE SMALLER ON PS5..............and it is.
The person reading this knows I'm talking to you.
Re: Tekken 8 Finally Takes a Step in the Right Direction with 'Emergency' Patch 2.00.02
Wait, so they abolished all the multi over expensive Season Pass nonsense? No? Then zero trust is back.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on PS5?
@Frmknst Game pass Ultimate, the highest and most expensive tier of game pass, that Indiana Jones was placed into by the time it launched 4 years later........ is not free lol.
And the new expensive tier that Fable, State of Decay 3 and Perfect Dark will be in by the time they release, in another half a decade, will most certainly not be "free" either.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on PS5?
Nope, I generally don't touch any games that has Xbox/Microsoft's name attached to it. Indie looks abysmal, dead looking dull world, awful slow combat were enemies line up to attack and won't even follow over a 2ft drop lol and even more awfully slow and dull traversal. This is another one of those games where the reviews just make NO SENSE.
Its like they went out of their way to make it as little like Uncharted as possible, making it less like Indiana Jones in the process.
Re: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Download Size Is Still Massive on PS5
@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare Can anyone remember the 'promise' of PS5 that game installs would be smaller?
Yes, they delivered in the promise, the PS5 version of the same games are smaller, who is getting defensive? I answered your question lol.
Re: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Download Size Is Still Massive on PS5
@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare But they are smaller.
Can anyone remember the promise of the world's most powerful console the series x and how it gets its ass handed to it by PS5 for the past 4 years straight and the promise that it would do 60fps minimum on all games forward as the new standard, when that isn't even true for its own studio's games?
Again, PS5 games ARE SMALLER than the other platform that has the near identical looking game just about every single time, sometimes it's even significantly smaller too.
What were you trying to say with that nonsense?
Re: Almost All the UK's Boxed Copies of Assassin's Creed Shadows Sold on PS5 Last Week
Well series x consoles aren't available in stores anymore and it never even made it to 7 million units sold so over 4 years later so................ yeah, it is what it is.
For people who don't understand, series x is the only console with a disc drive Microsoft put out this gen..... and its gone from most stores all over the world.
Re: Reaction: Sony's Licensing Strategy May Be the Best Route to Reviving Some of PlayStation's Lost Classics
When there is no clear release schedule of 1st party PlayStation games coming....... 4 years into the gen, that I and millions of others can give full price money to PS for, IN THE MILLIONS, IN THE FIRST FEW DAYS A GAME RELEASES............. then I don't know how this route can mean anything. Lego Horizon was a spectacular flop because, I'm never buying a Horizon game on a multiplat game engine, designed to run on a Nintendo console even Nintendo stopped making games for. And I can tell you right now.........nobody on PC and Switch bought it either lol.
They wasted too much time on live service trash and now we have hit a lull, a lull I have foretold since 2021, commenting on the PS Blog ever since that DISASTROUS "What is Next for PS Studios" post Hermen Hulst did in June 2021. https://blog.playstation.com/2021/06/02/hermen-hulst-qa-whats-next-for-playstation-studios/
Just look at the comments on that blog post and the amount of us PS fans that weren't buying it.
One of the BEST comments on that link I posted and still true to this day
WRREAL2 said "you are lucky Xbox is incompetent as ever." So, so, so true even 4 years later.
Re: Hitman PSVR2 Could Very Well Be Some of the Most Fun You'll Find on PS5 This Year
Shame the franchise died for me years ago with that episodic format crap, nothing to do with Square Enix contrary to popular belief.
And then when they did another remaster last gen, they left out 2 and Contracts, the only 2 games I care about.
Re: Split Fiction Smashes First Weekend in the UK, Physical Sales Dominated by PS5
Makes sense, series x only sold 6.5 million units after 4 years before disappearing from retail stores everywhere 2 months ago. Its basically ceased manufacturing at this point.
And 3rd party publisher Xbox said that PS5 made up of 64% of their sales in December 2024.............. the month that Indiana Jones launched and wasn't even available on PS5. That number would have easily been 80% had it came to PS5. That means Xbox and PC make up a measly 10% each of game sales.
Why do Square Enix need to double their development time with multiplatform day one releases again???
Re: Ex-Xbox Boss Says Console War Has Lost Its 'Feistiness' as Microsoft Goes Multiformat
Tell me about it. Xbox shills have given up so much they are doubling down on the "exclusives don't matter" and "exclusives are were always a bad idea anyway"........... and then NEVER bring up Nintendo in these arguments whatsoever, who triple down on bringing nothing to PC.
The arguments are solely fueled by PlayStation hatred and nothing more...... as was always the case in anything they ever did and pivot and change the goal posts to.
@Ultimapunch Don't waste your breath. Xbox consoles are DONE, series x can't be bought anymore in thousands of stores across the world in every continent and country. But these clowns will die on that hill claiming that PlayStation are in the exact same position as Xbox right now, saying ALL console gaming is dead.......... while, like I said above, REFUSING to talk about Nintendo and how they are still 100% exclusive and going after PC gamers stealing their games.
But the console war still rages on. After 5 consoles PS is sitting at over 530 million sold and Nintendo around 430 million after 8 consoles. Just because Xbox fizzled out around 180 million after 5 consoles doesn't mean "all console gaming is dead" lol. And an under performing style Steam deck like handheld next gen will change NOTHING for Xbox.

Re: The Order: 1886 Dev Pitched a Sequel to Sony, But Was Denied
To understand the visuals of The Order 1886, play it for a few hours. Then fire up the AC Syndicate E3 2015 Cinematic trailer and look at the bar scene during the last minute.
This trailer aired 4 months AFTER The Order launched, is a 100% CG cutscene..... and The Order 1886's inengine visuals, match it. Crazy.
Re: The Order: 1886 Dev Pitched a Sequel to Sony, But Was Denied
It's a real shame. It came too late but an The Order 1886 sequel, made in the same semi open world style of God of War 2018, would have been amazing.
Like Assassin's Creed 1, the foundations of The Order were there, it just needed a sequel to flesh everything out better like in AC2 where you can collect every weapon in the game and have your own HQ, you can go back to..... and just about everything else that AC2 did better over the 1st one.
Such a waste of their engine to get no flex the past decade before they were shut down.
Re: Shuhei Yoshida Remembers Scariest Moment for Sony, When Nintendo Signed Monster Hunter As a 3DS Exclusive
Sony didn't match the 3DS. They undercut it. The 3DS was 270 quid when it launched Europe and was like a budget gamecube. The Vita was 250 quid, a budget PS3 like hardware and an OLED screen. It was insane.
And like others said, MH World proved people would buy a brilliant current gen MH game if they bothered to make one. They were making PS2 MH games for over a decade lol. On PS2, PSP, Wii, 3DS, YEARS of PS2 looking MH games and no evolving the technology whatsoever.
That is what the no vision, multiplat only future will look like if some people get their wish.
Re: Sony Could Be Plotting a PS5 Livestream Around Valentine's Day
@Nexozi Yeah, the sequel to Ghost of Tsushima, that launched the same week in 2020 that Fable and State of Decay 3 were announced. That would be hilarious if the sequel launched before those games even got a concrete release date or release year (its hilarious yet has every chance of happening).
Re: Sony Could Be Plotting a PS5 Livestream Around Valentine's Day
Already? But there was one just last week. No wait, that was the 3rd party developer direct I got mixed up with.
Re: Spider-Man 2's Looking Like Another PC Own Goal from Sony
@Worlock_ed That's just a lie. GT7. HUNDREDS of other games the past 2 decades. How many games were brought over like 9 lol? That's all the PlayStation games yeah?
Re: Spider-Man 2's Looking Like Another PC Own Goal from Sony
SO TRUE. Another flop single player PC game bites the dust. Not even the best selling PS game on PC is anything worth writing home about.
I've said it time and time again, if FF16 and its 3 million in only 7 days on PS5 is considered a flop, then what do the SAME PEOPLE call the PC version that didn't even sell 200,000 in 150 days???
