The relentless PR is a tad concerning.

Sony’s/ND’s “it’s good bro, trust us” psyop continues.

If you want to stop being milked, stop being so milkable. This stuff keeps happening because the sales data is there to support it.

@Voltan good to know, thanks for the head’s up

Hopefully they’re just shutting the servers down or something, it would be a real disappointment if Sony plans on removing 1st party titles from this service. Delay their arrival if you must, but removing 1st party titles from your own subscription service is a real head scratcher.

Haha what a load of hastily produced, fluffy PR nonsense and y’all ate that up like birthday cake.

@Dezzy70 God of War, Horizon Forbidden West, Gran Turismo 7… all subject to lengthy delays. Let’s not pretend that Sony is somehow above this stuff.

I think this is the one Marvel product I’m still looking forward to.

Everyone: so chill, so beautiful. #vibes

Me with an intense fear of open water: NOPE.

@get2sammyb for me, it’s not so much that it’s a live service game, but that it’s an EA live service game haha

At least there’s Session on Steam. S’good.

I’m way too disloyal for a loyalty program

If you’re going to GameSpot for your TV and movie reviews, then I don’t know what to tell you.

Interesting read. I always bounce off sim racers for a lot of the same reasons. However, recently I had a similar experience with fighting games and buying a fight stick. It really opened up the genre for me. Now I’m like well shoot, maybe I just gotta spend a ton of money and I can like car games now too haha.

I have it on Steam, it’s very hard haha. Skating is hard so I guess that makes sense. Impressive physics tech, their early access journey has been interesting to follow.

This doesn’t seem as FUN as Sea of Thieves. That’s my problem with most Ubisoft games these days, it’s content over fun. I don’t care if I can spend 500 hours in your virtual worlds if I’m bored to tears the whole time I’m there.

Inflation, like the chip shortage, stands to be another sizeable, unforeseen influence over this generation of consoles. Xbox and Switch are better positioned with their multiple SKUs/price points.

It should be Brittney Griner.

There is a typo in the first paragraph.

Oh, the irony of people coming on a PushSquare comment section questioning the existence of toxic Sony fanboys hahah.

That’s unfortunate, because GoT suuuucks haha. Nothing but Far Cry with swords. Absolute snooze fest with absolutely nothing new to say.

This type of licence stuff bums me out. I think the best sports game I ever played isn’t even licensed and I think it’s got so much more life/soul because of it (Super Mega Baseball 3, go Wideloads!).

I cringed so hard I pulled a muscle.

After reading that last article about the harassment being aimed at Santa Monica, I hope they delay the stuffing out of that game just out of spite.

From Software games are hit and miss for me too. Loved the Demon’s Souls remake, but hated it the first time around. Loved Elden Ring, but hated Sekiro. Bloodborne I’m lukewarm on, never finished, but might give it another try. Follow your tastes! Not everyone has to like the same game.

Wow, a show filmed in Toronto actually set in Toronto. Usually tons of stuff films in Toronto but they pass it off as New York or some other big city in the film’s story.

This launch was nothing but clown shoes.

This game is an actual chore to play. Thankfully I tried it on PS+ Premium or whatever, so no harm no foul sorta thing. But frig, how can people STILL get something out of these by the numbers open world games? It feels like I’ve been playing the same game for decades, every time I boot one up feels like chipping away at purgatory.

Bummer. THPS1+2 was so well done, I was really hoping to see at least one more.

Let's hope they go for better stick technology. I would never buy a premium controller with traditional sticks, drift is too much of a crap shoot. I've been using the GuliKit King Kong 2 controller on Switch and PC lately, it has electromagnetic sticks that apparently don't drift.

Unless there are MAJOR gameplay changes, I couldn’t be less interested in this.

Looks pretty cool. I am loving this flat, Moebius-inspired art style that's been popping up lately. Sable would be another good example.

It actually is a ton of fun to play. Hopefully it can find some footing. Anything a little different than point and shoot first is good in my books.

@OrtadragoonX yeah, I agree with you about Chernobyl, absolutely one of the best shows ever made. It's got a ton of potential.

Another day, another batch of mind boggling headlines from Sony.

I'm not going to watch bad TV just for the sake of some brand loyalty or something. If they somehow make something that's watchable, I'll watch it.

It’s been disappointing headline after disappointing headline these days. Like at least one a day, sometimes there’s several.

This whole thing has been a confusing PR gong show. So if you have a low tier stacked until X date in the future, you can't just upgrade to a higher tier for a month or two to try it out? You gotta buy in for the entirety of the stack? The classic games catalog is something I would fool around with for a few months, or dip in and out as titles I'm interested in revisiting are added. If that's not a possibility, I'll be pretty shocked and more than a little disappointed.

What are y’all’s thoughts on the first one? It’s on a deep sale right now on NA PS Store. Very curious, it had lukewarm critical response but I’ve heard it referred to as a cult classic a few times in the interim. Worth a go?

I’m holding off judgement until I hear what they’re up to.

Good, honestly. This is what competition looks like and it’s healthy for the industry. Sony is finally being forced to make halfway decent decisions. There’s been better news out of Sony in the last two months than the last two years combined IMHO. Whether it’s simply stock issues or not (it’s not, don’t be reductive), it’s happening. And it puts MS in a great position to capitalize once their investments begin to show returns. Let the games begin.

now we're talking

edit to reflect update: boooooooo

Release dates before full games list? Hmm. Do people still say sus these days? The PR around this has been full of red flags for me.

OK listen, don't use Pepsiman in the thumbnail if you're not going to have Pepsiman in the article. That's all I'm going to say about this topic.

Just what the PlayStation needs, another narrative-driven action-adventure game /s

…so much /s

lol everyone being like yeah it was so easy, I just used a guide and save scummed three endings! Easiest FromSoftware game evar!!!! hahah.

Because it’s just PS Now with a few PS5 titles. You can’t make a big do about that, though. This is smoke and mirrors until proven otherwise.

nice, the shabriri + mimic tear cheese lives to fight another day haha

Hardware level? Like, emulating the CPU itself? If Sony came out with an FPGA-based solution for hardware emulation of their retro consoles, I would quite literally poop my pants.

“Shady Company Swears They Aren’t Shady.” Phew, dodged a bullet there.
