Re: Reaction: Activision Blizzard Buyout Is Devastating for PS5, PS4

An interesting asymetric response could be to start working on PS Home/Metaverse together with Epic. Add value to the PS ecosystem and hit MS where they can't compete: innovation and creativity.

Petty Microsoft has been holding a grudge ever since Sony made fun of their Xbox one reveal fiasco. Small dick energy for sure.

Re: Battlefield 2042's Community Is So Irate Its Subreddit May Be Closed

@Ryguy2784 Completely agree. How can you not be angry when you pay at least $70 USD for a broken alpha?

Don't condone any threats or insults but it just feels like they are deflecting away from the fact that Battlefield 2042 was pretty much dead on arrival.

Not the devs really fault but EA's and DICE management. EA now has to greenlight Titanfall 3 to make up for it. #LoseWin

Not full on remake but R* did charge full price for them, huh?

To think they were one of my favorite devs of the ps2/ps3 era.

Happens to all game companies. They become successfull and transition into becoming soulless corporations that milk their own content to death until every unit of value has been squeezed from them.

Re: Sony Allegedly Funding Kojima Productions Silent Hill Game

Honestly I'd prefer the original SILENT HILL team involved in the Sony-funded project.

Hideo Kojima is just going to use half the budget to make more personal Hollywood connections and tour around the world. Again.

I'd rather Sony saved that money and give it to FROM instead to begin development on a Bloodborne sequel asap.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy Death Stranding Director's Cut?

Reading the comments I can see the most positive things anyone can say about this game is "it looks gorgeous" and "not boring just not for everyone".

At least everyone's stopped indulging Kojima with his dumb "I created new strand genre" bs. He did help shape the stealth genre but did not create it either.

Re: Rumour: Gigantic GeForce Leak Goes Nuclear, Hints at All Kinds of Unannounced Games, PS5 Titles Linked to PC

Damn, this leak was more exciting for me than the recent showcase.

New Dragon's Dogma, Street Fighter AND Monster Hunter? Damn, Capcom! Leave something for the others.

From Square Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster is awesome but I would die if Final Fantasy IX were to receive a remake.

Big YES to all the following: Chrono Cross Remaster, BioShock 2022, Mirror's Edge Remaster, Untitled Respawn Game, Titanfall 3, Tekken 8, Crysis 4, XCOM 3, Mortal Kombat XII, Helldivers 2.

And still no Bloodborne for the PC crowd. Sony has that under lock deep in the chalice dungeons. Forget the patch, grant us a sequel set in Cainhurst, Loran or a different land entirely.

Re: Reaction: PlayStation Showcase 2021 Was Good, But Not Good Enough

@naruball I'm talking about the dry-ass holiday season. The showcase overall was strong but no first party titles for the end of the year while Switch has Metroid Dread out in October, Shin Megami Tensei V (not first party but exclusive) and new Pokemon in November, Advance Wars in December. *****, even MS is releasing half of Halo Infinite in December and the new Forza on November. So yes, handing it over.

I have a lot of trust in Sony's teams but I was not expecting the rest of 2021 to be so bare but maybe some us got spoiled by the PS4 gen that seemed to have bangers for every season for a few years. That said the first half of next year is going to be insanely packed.

Re: Reaction: PlayStation Showcase 2021 Was Good, But Not Good Enough

Basically sums up my feelings about the show. I expected Sony to at least have an ace for this holiday season but apparently they are handing it over to Xbox and Nintendo.

Wasn't a fan of CG-only trailers, ANOTHER Deathloop trailer or the Uncharted ps4 games remaster. I mean I will probably get Deathloop but did it really had to take up space if it releases next week?

I did like what I saw of Forsaken, Project Eve, Gran Turismo 7 (!), God of War: Ragnarok, Ghostwire Tokyo

Just to confirm, Holiday 2021 is going to be dry as hell, right?
