@get2sammyb That was just an example. All I’m saying is I don’t think all IPs should just be tossed to the side and forgotten. But Sony seems to have done that to quite a few of their great ones.

I mean it can be both, can’t it? It celebrates the past but it’s also hard to deny that there are many Sony franchises that fans wish they would have done more with. Would I take another Resistance game over PlayStation’s “evolution” with games like Concord? Hell yeah. Who wouldn’t?

So I can see the point of The Gamer article but yet also can enjoy reminiscing through PlayStation history as well.

To me it’s important to evolve but also make use of your best IPs. And I think that was the point of The Gamer article. Not that the game was some kind of morbid graveyard.

If every company was supposed to only evolve and not use their best IPs, does that mean we shouldn’t have Mario and Zelda games anymore?

You can try new things and still embrace the past much like Zelda has gotten more and more creative over the years.

They’re also refunding everyone who bought it. Wow. How many millions lost on this?

@Lup Maybe because Pure Xbox knows there’s nothing worth reporting with this? I haven’t seen any conspiracy theories about this game anywhere but here.

Why is this an article here other than to fan the flames of console warring? Has nothing to do with PlayStation. Kind of tired of this crap.

Push Square should be above this nonsense.

@Lup That’s what I’ve been reading, which makes me glad I’m playing it on Series X via Ubisoft+.

Funny how many people are writing this off as a crap game at 77 on OpenCritic yet Black Myth: Wukong is a GoTY contender with some here and is only 4 points higher at 81.

@FraserG with all of the marketing for this game from Xbox, I’m curious why Pure Xbox hasn’t provided even a fraction of the updates that Push Square has on this game. Would be nice to see an article over there on this gameplay video. I know plenty of Xbox gamers would be interested.

As with the concurrent users, I’m guessing a very high percentage of the sales are in China. Shows how huge of an opportunity that market is. I’m sensing a lot of games based on Chinese history in our future.

FWIW, the guy who originally started the Forza Horizon 5 rumor, Shinobi 602, has deleted his post on ResetERA. I’d take everything with a grain of salt until something is announced.

This same guy said Starfield was coming to PS5 then later had to backtrack and say he was wrong. Guess we’ll see.

It’s a good month just not for me. Have most of the games on both Extra and Premium (Timesplitters series through BC on Xbox). But glad there’s some good stuff for others to dig into.

Enjoyed this when it first came out but it’s been quite a while since I’ve played. Sounds like it’s a good time to fire it up again!

Streaming still isn’t ideal for newer games but I’ve used this and it works very well. Have to remember these retro games aren’t graphically intensive and require very little bandwidth. I understand why people wouldn’t like the subscription model but don’t dismiss this service just because it’s streaming.

Sounds silly but if the eyes were LED and moved around, I probably would have gotten one. But otherwise I’ll pass, I don’t need another controller and would rather save $80 for games.

@Frmknst I mean it was huge hit on PC before it came to mobile and console. It’s not a mobile game port. I never could see the fuss myself but it’s definitely got hordes of fans. 98% on Steam with over 220,000 reviews.

@Blofse Ah, you’re right. I’m still waking up here in the US.

Don’t know if I’m the only one who had to look up what a “leat” is but sounds like it’s an English thing.

There were some tweets talking about how the CEO brought some employees to his house two days before they were laid off to show off his fancy ass car collection. Of course, he knew what was coming. Great guy!

I was happy enough to play it on my iPhone via Netflix. Wonder how much money he got from that deal?

@Gamer83 Agreed. Definitely a legit question, especially from an investor standpoint. Not so “out-of-touch” to me.

“ If anything, this new hero shooter feels like it needs more time in the oven, because as it stands, it's copied over the basic principles of the genre, but it's forgotten all about the magic.”

Hmm…that actually does sound like my same assessment of Concord.

What’s funny is that you could buy a month of EA Play for far less and play it early for 10 hours then get the game at launch. I’ve been playing the trial via EA Play / GamePass. Fun game so far. But the trial will probably last me until the price drops.

Loved the demo and will be playing on GamePass but Flintlock and, especially, Dungeons of Hinterberg are getting most of my time right so far this week. Too many games to play!

Loved the demo and can’t wait for the full game!

I played it. Hated it. Guess I’ll just ignore the article.

It’s the perfect example of mediocre. Doesn’t do anything new. Well polished (even as a beta) but I see. Nothing here that will draw me into playing this on a regular basis. This certainly will not be a Helldivers 2 level hit.

Don’t pay full price for sports games but definitely will be checking this out with the EA Play/GamePass 10-hour trial! Used to love the college versions of these games.

Wouldn’t be surprised if the person who sold it was someone affected by all the recent layoffs. May no longer have a horse in the race so figured they’d try to make some cash this way. If that was the case, more power to them!

Really loving this so far. Combat especially is fantastic. And definitely seems like their other games where you can play without spending a dime. Well worth a try!

Tough call for me between Dragon’s Dogma 2 and Unicorn Overlord. Picked UO this time but could slide either way.

Surprised it hasn’t been reported here that Sony Rewards is shutting down. Wasn’t great but it was something to get some occasional PS credit or a free movie.

Played this on my iPhone. Great game but am okay with the iOS version, which itself is a big upgrade over the 3DS version.

I’m even wondering if there’s much of a change from iOS to this version. Screenshots look pretty much identical.

FWIW, this is one of the lower scores. 88 on OpenCritic right now.

@UltimateOtaku91 I’d still be praising it. I have both consoles. All I praise is great games and this showcase gave that to us. If Sony did the same, I’d absolutely give them just as much credit whether they bought the studio or not.

@Weebleman Only reason I said that was because of the hate MS is getting here from studios they bought. People may not like it but it’s reality now.

@naruball I did speak of 18 and there are. I have no disillusions about that MS owns. I’m glad they have them and they had plenty homegrown games too. Either way it was an awesome showcase. Period.

Love my PlayStation too and have gotten most of their exclusives this gen. But they’re getting too quiet and want to know more of what’s coming. Awful to say that isn’t it?

I’m done arguing. I just want PlayStation to have a showcase like this. But if money hatting games like Stellar Blade from other studios is the best they can do, at least they’ll still be something to play.

@naruball There were plenty of internal MS Studio games in that presentation. Gears, Flight Simulator, Fable, Age of Mythology, etc. so whatever.

@naruball You mean the 18 first party games shown at Microsoft’s presentation wasn’t enough?

Treading old ground while giving us new looks at gameplay, etc. and new games like Doom: The Dark Age and first reveal of State of Decay 3 and Flight Simulator 24. To say this was all just treading old ground is a bit disingenuous. Plus gave us looks at things like Expedition 33, Mixtape and Wuchang that will be on GamePass.

In any case, do hope Sony gives us a showcase like this soon because it was excellent.

Also coming to GamePass for those who have it on Xbox. Looks fantastic!

@SolarSailor The story itself is console warring. How am I console warring? Did I say anything negative about PlayStation? Nope.

Don’t hate me for saying this. But honestly, it looks more fun than the real games.

Problem is that Rockstar never keeps their stuff on subscription services long. And it’s a long game to try to finish before it leaves.

This is all rumor and even Tom Warren said they are “considering” and also that Xbox was not going fully multi-platform. In any case, he NEVER says all of these are going to PS5 so the way it’s being treat as if they all are is ridiculous. They could just have talked about it in a board meeting and it may never come to fruition. CONSIDERING. So saying Xbox “will be bringing a lot of its titles to PS5” is factually incorrect at this time. It’s sad how this is being distorted and reported the way it is. Go read Warren’s actual article and you’ll see the reality. Jez Corden also has a good article on Windows Central and mentioned how some outlets (apparently like Push Square) are reporting this incorrectly. You can’t tell readers that lots of Xbox games are coming when nothing has been reported to say they are confirmed as coming.

Remember this is an “insider” rumor and how many of those, including from Tom Warren, have not come true. Wait for an official announcement. Until then take it with a grain of salt …not the gospel.

But seems like everyone here is taking it as the gospel already so…whatever.

Oh and the same article itself says nothing is set in stone and…

“ Microsoft isn’t planning to go fully multiplatform and not have Xbox exclusives”.

@The_Wailing_Doom There’s been plenty of other SE titles come to Xbox without being on GamePass. Don’t make up crap you don’t know.

And I’m betting you’ll see a lot more now that SE has agreed to do multiplatform. I’m betting FF 7 and 16 will come to Xbox and not be on GamePass.

It’s actually $39.59 if you have PS+.
