@twitchtvpat Yes. 100%. You need an Xbox account to play any Xbox game on Steam regardless of what it is. Just another of the many Xbox myths out there that people pretend isn't a thing.
Won't make a lick of a difference. Ghost of Tsushima won't sell 2 million units on PC like it did on PS4 in just 3 days, regardless of PSN requirement nonsense or not. In fact, it won't sell 2 million on PC in 2000 days lol.
What does that tell you about how much of a waste of time it is bringing these single player games to PC when at the same time you are stumbling and not bringing brand new PS5 only games consistently to this same audience that supports and buys your games in the millions???
@CupidStunt Sony already do act like this since the start of the gen. You actually think Sony's game quality will drop??? What, because of no Xbox console exclusive games like Crackdown 3 going forward?
Funnily enough PlayStation is the leader yet done multiple Black Friday deals on all their SKUs last November. Xbox just gave up and gave 20% off a series s and nothing else.
The fact is, nothing will change today if Xbox consoles go away..... and that's a fact a lot of Xbox fans still won't admit.
So ironic for slimy Phil to say this when HE and NOBODY else, literally cancelled the PS5 version that was currently in development.
And then at the same time said "oh, I know you are well into development of this but here is series s, the game has to run on this for launch now too, good luck with that, I'm on my way to tell the same thing to the State of Decay 3, Hellblade 2, Perfect Dark, Fable, Everwild, Forza 8, etc developers".
@__jamiie Xbox are already getting a favor with 3 times the sales than multiple Xbox consoles. And it won't really hinder any kind of development since the standard PS5 will yet again out perform series x easily.
By comparison do you think Sucker Punch should drop everything right now and downgrade Ghost of Yokei and push out its release year by 3 years so to "return the favor" with a series version to abysmal sales, to a console that looks like will have somehow a SMALLER install base by 2028?
Nope. It just makes NO sense whatsoever. If this wasn't true, Fable, Perfect Dark, Everwild, State of Decay 3 would have been released already.
It's just crazy. And to to think we are reaching year 4. When PS4 reached year 3, the price dropped to 300 quid too and the Pro was introduced for 400. In year 4 of PS5 its more expensive than it was at launch and there is a 800 euro (= 844 dollars, figure that scam out) Pro lol.
It's astounding it's even keeping great pace of PS4 giving all these factors. But they did release a lot of their 2020 announced games, and even games announced after that too. The argument could be made that Xbox's console sales are dropping every month for 2 years straight because there are 2019/2020 games announced that still lack a release date or even a release year. And no amount of LIES and myth spewing that Xbox has an incredibly well planned "roadmap", will change this fact. Halo Infinite had a roadmap too, a TEN year roadmap.... and it died a death after less than 2 years.
@Shrek_Realista What the heck has the Internet to do with common sense? That's my opinion and nobody else's. I haven't read or looked at a single review on SH2 Remake
Ironic that you sound like a clown, molded by the hive mind internet.
The game has technical problems, even the title of Digital Foundry's report gives that away lol. "Silent Hill 2's remake is authentic and compelling - but technical problems need addressing".
Bit of a low IQ yourself there it seems. I'll buy it eventually, when it's cheaper and you have beta tested it for me. Thanks for that by the way.
So glad I didn't bother with this game. The studio is just not competent. I will buy and support a game at full price that deserves it... and this is not one and had NO CHANCE of being one.
Said it a million times. Bluepoint and the ONLY ONES should have been allowed to touch a national treasure of the gaming world, Silent Hill 2. This remake being made on the same engine as every single crappy Western made SH game, Unreal, already sealed its faith.
Of course it did when even the biggest Xbox shills like kidsmoove and Destin ran hate campaigns for a month straight on why its the worst thing in gaming ever...????...... and then all preordered it anyway lol. Every time opened their mouth they were making more people aware it exists.
I will buy one, when Sony comes to their senses and makes it 700 euro in Europe. 800 euro is a ripoff, WHEN ITS 700 DOLLARS in the US.
What I want to know is, where are all the grifter clowns that said "Durr so the remaster is basically the PC version then????"? Yeah, the remaster is based on the broken PC version that couldn't even do the vegetation and hair physics properly until 6 months after launch lol.
Over 4 years later. Took them long enough. When are PC users going to hit the 8 millions sales milestone the PS4 version did in 365 days??? Oh right, NEVER.
Neither is being played much on PC. That's what you need to be taking away from this but you won't and neither will anyone else. Every single PS single player game brought to PC has been a gigantic flop.... LONG before PSN logging in was a thing... so before 6 months ago really.
Of course it was. And the first week of sales of any PS studio singke player game on PC is 3% on PC and 97% on PS consoles and Spiderman 2 will be no different.
They can take away a disc drive all they want. I still have 95% of my purchased and supported games on PS4 and PS5 physically and that won't change 3 years from now.
I've told PlayStation on their own blog, same name as my username here...... If PS6 doesn't have an option for a disc drive..... I am done with any current present and future PlayStation anything.
And if they do that, don't bother adding BC to PS6, as any kind of PR bonus stunt, because it's pointless without a disc drive lol.
And again, can please stop talking about "700 dollars, 700 dollars, 700 dollars", for the Pro???
700 dollars is 630 euro. Why is it 800 euro is the real question and THAT'S why I'm not buying it.
It's already a rip off at 700 euro and I am willing to accept it since its always been the way with the PS4s and standard PS5.
But to screw over us Europeans, that helped still make PS3 sell 90 million total, who stood by you when lots of US customers abandoned you and went to the 360...... absolute disgrace and betrayal.
I only saw 3 people playing it launch day on my Friends list but 12 people own the game now since Friday. To put that in perspective, 5 months later, less people have still played Stellar Blade. My estimate is that's Astro doing pretty decent.
@Yaycandy I wonder what PlayStation's opinion is. They REALLY have had CONSISTENTLY high sales with all their consoles to date.
No 16 million Wii U or 50 million N64 or 20 million Gamecube style sales with PlayStation. In fact, I think PS3 still beat those 3 consoles combined.
That's an absolute fantasy that Nintendo have had consistent sales since 1985. Did you know that the Switch was the first Nintendo console to FINALLY beat the PS1's sales, nearly 3 decades later? Now that's a fact for you.
And for the article, Xbox consoles are dying, you know it, I know it. Nothing else to be said on the matter and I 100% agree that certain people want everyone to say its all consoles and we know who you are, the Cope Eastwoods of gaming.
Why do people always say this? We need an Internet Historian breakdown of how May 21st to late June 2013 really went down.
Did you know that right before the giant 180, Xbox threw it out there that you would be able to "re-sell" your digital games HOWEVER it would be up to the separate publishers? How would that even work lol? They were in pure meltdown mode and had no idea what they were doing, like Xbox right now.
When publishers like EA were asked to comment they shrugged their shoulders like they didn't want to be involved in this 4 week long train wreck.
Where has THAT come to fruition today? Where has an always online console come into effect today?
Where has the soldered in TV port gone on consoles, especially Xbox consoles?
Where is the Kinect gone? Series s and x don't even support any Kinect camera and so those consoles can't even play 100% of the previous games consoles games from Xbone.
"what the Xbone was trying to do". Yeah, right, in a revisionist's mind.
Relax. The examples you used, Fable, Perfect Dark and Blade do not even have release dates for Xbox yet. Not even an ingame hud lol. And those 3 games will likely get delayed to 2026 because this is Phil Slimey Spencer's Xbox reign after all y'all.
Xbox fans have been waiting for Indiana Jones since Jan 2021, 3 and a half years...... and when it finally got a release date, then came the PS5 announcement simultaneously. They still have yet to confirm what other older games they are currently porting to PlayStation right now and since earlier in 2024. Xbox didn't buy those thousand PS4/PS5 dev kits for nothing.
The new game announcements can come whenever. It's still quite baffling why they wouldn't even wait until January to announce Indie for PS5 though. They must have a lot more game announcements for PlayStation coming soon and wanted Indie out of the way now.
We all need to go out and buy Astrobot on day 1 to really stick it to Sony and to show them that they should have been more focused on single player games this gen.
Err yeah. Please Sony, give us a showcase that focuses on 90% games we already know are coming since 2020, give barely an update with the same trailer from last year (Fable and Avowed) or another CG trailer 4 years later (State of Decay 3).
Oh and make sure to give no release dates for practically everything shown too or the whole show might as well have been an email that games are still coming. Yeah, take notes Sony lol.
Seriously guys, LIKE EVERY YEAR after the Xbox showcase, you will all admit in a month's time, when you come off that placebo sugar pill, that it wasn't really that significant of a showcase.
Phil said 2 years ago at their last E3 conference in 2020, "everything shown here today will be out before June next year" and admit it, that's all you remember from that showcase. Nobody likes to bring up the fact that Starfield and Forza 8 were at the next year showcase AND Gamescom because of the constant development problems Xbox has this gen.
But of course, the Xbox E3 2022 showcase was "lit" and the "best showcase that year" like it is for certain folk every year.
I haven't watched an Xbox showcase live since the Kinect E3 2010 and the worst games console reveal of all time, the Xbone. I refreshed the Xbox youtube channel late last night and wasn't overly impressed by any of the games shown or announced or the lack of information.
@CKFilms No, they didn't. Or, sorry, they did but they hadn't a clue what they were talking about.
God of War and Horizon Zero Dawn were announced and released in less than 2 years back in the middle of last gen. Those are 2 perfect examples of massive games that dont fit that narrative.
You are thinking of Xbox where in 2017 Phil Spencer, lied yet again, and said "We won't announce games early going forward". Hellblade 2 finally came out with more 2019 and 2020 annpinced games without even a single ingame screenshot to this day.
@Rodimusprime1313 The focus on PSVR2???? Care to name a single game? Any FLAT SCREEN 1st party Playststion Studio games for PS5 announced since Spiderman 2 or Wolverine you would like to reveal even?
Yep. I've been saying it on the PS Blog for 3 years now since the disastrous Hermen Hults "Update on PS Studios" post in June 2021.
A lot of us were saying it back then in the comments. And a lot of people defended PlayStation. Well who looks stupid now? 3 years later and there are still hardly any new 1st party games, that got PlayStation where they are today, even announced.
@__jamiie Weird, so more people are subscribed, to what you claim is , a useless subscription service. Get out here lol.
It's looks alright. Personally I'm more interested in Obsidian when they used to make brilliant and critically acclaimed, games industry important, games (before being bought by Phil and Xbox OBVIOUSLY).
And crazy to think it only launched on Xbox less than 7 months ago.
Well, the 1.0 version did anyway. Unless Xbox fans now want to argue the OPPOSITE of what they claimed last year that Grounded counted as a brand new game release in 2023? No? Okay then.
Why? Why should a game that took so long to finance and get to where it is today..... now suddenly be ruined by series s and the time it eill take to get it on there (going by the massive and constant delays Starfield and Forza 8 suffered and just about every other 2019/2020 Xbox announced games, most of which still have no release dates)???
Why should the developer that got massively expanded by Sony, be told tomorrow, "start downgrading everything you have done with this game so it can run, to Phil's not compromised vision, on series s".
Nope, it isn't happening. Just like Remake will never come to Xbone (last gen's Xbox lowest denominator) and Rebirth will never come to series s (this gen's Xbox lowest denominator).
You can thank Phil Xbox fans. "Power your dreams" lol.
Would love to see Pandemonium 1 and 2 get a release exactly like this, coincidentally a game made by the old school version of Crystal Dynamics, long before they upgraded to a career of ruining Tomb Raider.
Thank goodness they are finally involved in a spectacular Tomb Raider release.
Not buying it. Done with Tekken and Soul Calibur since the 40 quid multi season pass nonsense in T7. I was finished T7 in less than a day with there not even being an Arcade mode to fight with all the other characters and get an ending video like Tekken of old. It was just one pathetic fight, shared with 2 characters and an awful inengine cutscene on the same boring UE4 battleground.
Its insane that it took them another 7 years to port over all the animations yet again to UE5, I mean like for like for the 5th game in a row. T4 was the last great Tekken game when they built the look of the characters from the ground up and they looked stunning in 2002. 22 years later, they just look like cartoony characters today.
At least Netherrealm make their chracters again for every game and they look more realistic with every single release. Used to be the biggest Tekken fan but not anymore.
Is it confirmed if this tech will make it back to other areas in the game? I sure hope when you go up to a high place like the Jade Chamber to get a gorgeous view of the world all around you, that this fog effect isn't in place now and that it obscures and ruins those panoramas.
@Porco Because it could have been a flop like the Xbonex. Anyway, the Portal is very likely 4th on the list right behind series s with series x in 6th place lol.
But if Portal isn't an accomplishment, what does that make series x then???
If THIS is what Jim and Hermen's GAAS plans are for PlayStation, i.e. an online only game where you are NEVER forced to play with others, then I can't wait to see what they do.
But if any of PlayStation's upcoming gaas titles force you to play with others and are mostly shooters too, then I won't even add them to my game list like Destiny, Fortnite, EA's one, Ubisoft's current doa one or future doa one....... and so on.
Welcome home Resident Evil. You got out of that terrible rut. I have a friend that boasted for years that RE6 was the best selling game and it angered me so much because I was done with the game the day the debut trailer dropped.
So happy the best selling games are 2 of the best games in the past 15 years of the franchise. And screw that trash RE6 lol.
I disagree. There was nothing in that showcase that should get Sony worried. And I haven't seen any streams that have anybody not in Xbox camp saying they are buying into it tomorrow. Even Xbox fans say it was a good show, yet like every year, they just don't see how it would get anybody not into Xbox, suddenly on board.
Don't worry. Like a week after every Xbox showcase every year, the high will wear off. In this case, fans will wake up and realise that Forza and Starfield, 2 games Phil said would be out before June, are still coming and.......................... that's it, what else did they show that has a specific release date or even month or even year???
It will just be back to waiting forever as usual. YEAH SONY, YOU NEED TO COPY THAT. And bring all your games day one to PC and have a whole year without a single release and release a weaker console then your main PS5 console that slows down development and delays all your 2020 games from even having release dates or RAW GAMEPLAY 3 years after they were announced.
I will still never understand people's love for Code Veronica. It fell apart for me as soon as Kefka from FFVI shows up with a sniper rifle. Well, I say that but I was already put off by that AWFUL irritating male character, the horrible run animations and 3D visuals overall.
How did they go from the earlier games which looked great for the hardware they ran on to such an awkward mess with CV? Even Claire's pants look terrible in the game like they come up way too much over her waist lol.
People have insane nostalgia goggles with this game, I thought it looked terrible when I played it in 2002.
So true. That massive levels of Xbox and Phil Spencer obliviousness on display during this showcase is astounding. Jim Ryan said this week at some point it was PlayStation's greatest showcase ever. Pure and utter delusion and a letdown for fans and the games industry as a whole.
Who will ever believe them again? I always forget to watch State of Plays when they air. Now I won't be bothered with PlayStation showcases going forward. Thanks Jim and Hermen.
@Gr8VngnzN4esAngr Sony didn't even do a showcase last year and Xbox killed themselves with that E3 2022 thing. Why even have it if the 2 biggest games were Starfield and Redfall??? And they, and many others, didn't even release "in the next 12 months" which is the go to quote that Xbox fans screamed why it was a 10/10 showcase.
PlayStation can do nothing and Xbox will shoot themselves in the foot regardless.
I don't believe for a second that another showcase will be soon but I DO think that Square Enix is going to do their own thing and there will be a 20 minute deep dive in Final Fantasy Remake Part 2, much like the one from E3 2019, the greatest deep dive of details and gameplay into a game during E3 ever.
@Mythologue Then that's your problem. Unfortunately its clear that is what reviewers did too because, if you read them, its very clear they never even made it to the 2nd act, when you start getting better weapons that don't shoot like "scrap" because they aren't LITERALLY classed as "scrap" weapons, like the ones are a the start.

Phil said 2 years ago at their last E3 conference in 2020, "everything shown here today will be out before June next year" and admit it, that's all you remember from that showcase.
Nobody likes to bring up the fact that Starfield and Forza 8 were at the next year showcase AND Gamescom because of the constant development problems Xbox has this gen.
But of course, the Xbox E3 2022 showcase was "lit" and the "best showcase that year" like it is for certain folk every year.
I haven't watched an Xbox showcase live since the Kinect E3 2010 and the worst games console reveal of all time, the Xbone. I refreshed the Xbox youtube channel late last night and wasn't overly impressed by any of the games shown or announced or the lack of information.
Re: Reaction: PS5 Livestreams Are No Longer Speaking to the Fans Who Built the Brand
@CKFilms No, they didn't. Or, sorry, they did but they hadn't a clue what they were talking about.
God of War and Horizon Zero Dawn were announced and released in less than 2 years back in the middle of last gen. Those are 2 perfect examples of massive games that dont fit that narrative.
You are thinking of Xbox where in 2017 Phil Spencer, lied yet again, and said "We won't announce games early going forward". Hellblade 2 finally came out with more 2019 and 2020 annpinced games without even a single ingame screenshot to this day.
Re: Reaction: PS5 Livestreams Are No Longer Speaking to the Fans Who Built the Brand
@Rodimusprime1313 The focus on PSVR2???? Care to name a single game? Any FLAT SCREEN 1st party Playststion Studio games for PS5 announced since Spiderman 2 or Wolverine you would like to reveal even?
Re: Reaction: PS5 Livestreams Are No Longer Speaking to the Fans Who Built the Brand
Yep. I've been saying it on the PS Blog for 3 years now since the disastrous Hermen Hults "Update on PS Studios" post in June 2021.
A lot of us were saying it back then in the comments. And a lot of people defended PlayStation. Well who looks stupid now? 3 years later and there are still hardly any new 1st party games, that got PlayStation where they are today, even announced.
Re: PS5, PS4 Ports of Xbox Survival Game Grounded Out Now
@__jamiie Weird, so more people are subscribed, to what you claim is , a useless subscription service. Get out here lol.
It's looks alright. Personally I'm more interested in Obsidian when they used to make brilliant and critically acclaimed, games industry important, games (before being bought by Phil and Xbox OBVIOUSLY).
Re: PS5, PS4 Ports of Xbox Survival Game Grounded Out Now
And crazy to think it only launched on Xbox less than 7 months ago.
Well, the 1.0 version did anyway. Unless Xbox fans now want to argue the OPPOSITE of what they claimed last year that Grounded counted as a brand new game release in 2023? No? Okay then.
Re: Helldivers 2 Is Still Absolutely Killing It on PC, By the Way
@Ralizah
"Which is why I'm not a fan of generalizing wide swaths of people as being any one way."
Comment before this one,
"the most obnoxiously tribal people I've seen in the gaming community have almost all been from the Playstation camp."
Okay. One thing is clear, you think you're better than everyone lol.
Re: Xbox Fans Petitioning for Helldivers 2 to Launch on Xbox
The even funnier thing is, the same people said this game "looks like crap" a year, 6 months, 2 months, 2 weeks even, ago.
And right now Stellar Blade and Rise of Ronin are OF COURSE crap. And the same thing will happen like with most PlayStation funded/related ventures.
Re: Xbox Fans Petitioning for Helldivers 2 to Launch on Xbox
Why? Why should a game that took so long to finance and get to where it is today..... now suddenly be ruined by series s and the time it eill take to get it on there (going by the massive and constant delays Starfield and Forza 8 suffered and just about every other 2019/2020 Xbox announced games, most of which still have no release dates)???
Why should the developer that got massively expanded by Sony, be told tomorrow, "start downgrading everything you have done with this game so it can run, to Phil's not compromised vision, on series s".
Nope, it isn't happening. Just like Remake will never come to Xbone (last gen's Xbox lowest denominator) and Rebirth will never come to series s (this gen's Xbox lowest denominator).
You can thank Phil Xbox fans. "Power your dreams" lol.
Re: Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered Starring Lara Croft (PS5) - The New Standard for PS1 Re-Releases
Would love to see Pandemonium 1 and 2 get a release exactly like this, coincidentally a game made by the old school version of Crystal Dynamics, long before they upgraded to a career of ruining Tomb Raider.
Thank goodness they are finally involved in a spectacular Tomb Raider release.
Re: Tekken 8's Trophy List Provides a Pretty Easy Platinum
Not buying it. Done with Tekken and Soul Calibur since the 40 quid multi season pass nonsense in T7. I was finished T7 in less than a day with there not even being an Arcade mode to fight with all the other characters and get an ending video like Tekken of old. It was just one pathetic fight, shared with 2 characters and an awful inengine cutscene on the same boring UE4 battleground.
Its insane that it took them another 7 years to port over all the animations yet again to UE5, I mean like for like for the 5th game in a row. T4 was the last great Tekken game when they built the look of the characters from the ground up and they looked stunning in 2002. 22 years later, they just look like cartoony characters today.
At least Netherrealm make their chracters again for every game and they look more realistic with every single release. Used to be the biggest Tekken fan but not anymore.
Re: Genshin Impact Will Soon Look Better Than Ever Before on PS5, PS4
Is it confirmed if this tech will make it back to other areas in the game? I sure hope when you go up to a high place like the Jade Chamber to get a gorgeous view of the world all around you, that this fog effect isn't in place now and that it obscures and ruins those panoramas.
Re: PS Portal Was the USA's Fourth Best-Selling System in November
@Porco Because it could have been a flop like the Xbonex. Anyway, the Portal is very likely 4th on the list right behind series s with series x in 6th place lol.
But if Portal isn't an accomplishment, what does that make series x then???
Re: PS5 Is Now Above PS4 in USA, While Its New-Gen Rival Flounders
Rival? Xbox already won their thing. God Phil said Stadia is their main rival 2 years ago and he won that glorious battle lol.
Re: Jim Ryan Praises PlayStation Home for Being '10-15 Years Ahead of Its Time'
Okay, Jim, the door is over there, start making your way to it by March yeah?
I'm going to assume he was involved with it and its why he is bringing it up.
But you know what else Jim, it failed massively just like your useless 4 billion Bungee purchase and focus on GAAS currently is doing.
Re: Preview: Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail Dev Has Quietly Become a PS5, PS4 Powerhouse
If THIS is what Jim and Hermen's GAAS plans are for PlayStation, i.e. an online only game where you are NEVER forced to play with others, then I can't wait to see what they do.
But if any of PlayStation's upcoming gaas titles force you to play with others and are mostly shooters too, then I won't even add them to my game list like Destiny, Fortnite, EA's one, Ubisoft's current doa one or future doa one....... and so on.
Re: Anticipated Gacha RPG Honkai: Star Rail Opens PS5 Technical Test Sign-Ups
One step closer to the stars.
It's hard to tell but does this mean there is no PS4 version? I thought a few months it was announced for PS4 and PS5. Or is it just a Test for PS5?
Re: Resident Evil 2 PS5, PS4 Remake Is Now the Series' Best-Selling Game
Welcome home Resident Evil. You got out of that terrible rut.
I have a friend that boasted for years that RE6 was the best selling game and it angered me so much because I was done with the game the day the debut trailer dropped.
So happy the best selling games are 2 of the best games in the past 15 years of the franchise.
And screw that trash RE6 lol.
Re: Sony's Partnership with Square Enix Has Never Been Stronger, Says Jim Ryan
Anything that stops getting games brought down by series s, I'm on board.
Re: Reaction: Solid Xbox Showcase Should Give Sony Some Incentive to Stop Being So Damn Cloak and Daggers About PS5, PS4
I disagree. There was nothing in that showcase that should get Sony worried. And I haven't seen any streams that have anybody not in Xbox camp saying they are buying into it tomorrow. Even Xbox fans say it was a good show, yet like every year, they just don't see how it would get anybody not into Xbox, suddenly on board.
Don't worry. Like a week after every Xbox showcase every year, the high will wear off. In this case, fans will wake up and realise that Forza and Starfield, 2 games Phil said would be out before June, are still coming and.......................... that's it, what else did they show that has a specific release date or even month or even year???
It will just be back to waiting forever as usual.
YEAH SONY, YOU NEED TO COPY THAT. And bring all your games day one to PC and have a whole year without a single release and release a weaker console then your main PS5 console that slows down development and delays all your 2020 games from even having release dates or RAW GAMEPLAY 3 years after they were announced.
Re: Preview: The Crew Motorfest Is Forza Horizon on PS5, and It's Brilliant
Yeah but like any EA game, this one has Ubisoft on the front of it and that's another reason to avoid.
Re: Want More Resident Evil Remakes? Tell Capcom Which Ones in Official Survey
I will still never understand people's love for Code Veronica. It fell apart for me as soon as Kefka from FFVI shows up with a sniper rifle. Well, I say that but I was already put off by that AWFUL irritating male character, the horrible run animations and 3D visuals overall.
How did they go from the earlier games which looked great for the hardware they ran on to such an awkward mess with CV? Even Claire's pants look terrible in the game like they come up way too much over her waist lol.
People have insane nostalgia goggles with this game, I thought it looked terrible when I played it in 2002.
Re: Fairgame$ May Be Sony's Most Tone Deaf PS5, PC Title to Date
So true. That massive levels of Xbox and Phil Spencer obliviousness on display during this showcase is astounding. Jim Ryan said this week at some point it was PlayStation's greatest showcase ever. Pure and utter delusion and a letdown for fans and the games industry as a whole.
Who will ever believe them again? I always forget to watch State of Plays when they air. Now I won't be bothered with PlayStation showcases going forward. Thanks Jim and Hermen.
Re: PS Showcase Demonstrated Sony's Efforts to Offer 'Best and Most Varied Catalog of Games', Jim Ryan Claims
@Gr8VngnzN4esAngr Sony didn't even do a showcase last year and Xbox killed themselves with that E3 2022 thing. Why even have it if the 2 biggest games were Starfield and Redfall???
And they, and many others, didn't even release "in the next 12 months" which is the go to quote that Xbox fans screamed why it was a 10/10 showcase.
PlayStation can do nothing and Xbox will shoot themselves in the foot regardless.
I don't believe for a second that another showcase will be soon but I DO think that Square Enix is going to do their own thing and there will be a 20 minute deep dive in Final Fantasy Remake Part 2, much like the one from E3 2019, the greatest deep dive of details and gameplay into a game during E3 ever.
Re: Days Gone 2 Could Have Released 'a Month Ago', Says Game Director
@Mythologue Then that's your problem. Unfortunately its clear that is what reviewers did too because, if you read them, its very clear they never even made it to the 2nd act, when you start getting better weapons that don't shoot like "scrap" because they aren't LITERALLY classed as "scrap" weapons, like the ones are a the start.
