Re: Netflix Allegedly Plotting Gaming Service, and PlayStation Could Be a Partner

So the article says Netflix is going into games now wait a second....

A company that is already being squeezed like a lemon by Disney and Amazon financially. A company which on one recent show down graded the budget of said show from 13 million an episode to 8 million an episode while a similar show on their competitors service had a budget of 20 million an episode.

And now they want to go into games I don't think they understand how much this will cost and looking at what has been happening the last two years to streaming services they are already on the back foot imo this is doomed to fail.

You heard it here first dear readers on the q.t. and very hush hush!

Re: Poll: Is PlayStation Losing Ground to Xbox?

Bit of Lord haw haw click baiting going on here what what!

Question how long will it take Microsoft to recoup the cost of buying Bethesda through xbox????

The answer will show many years and not forgetting they are already miles behind in sales compared to ps5.

So how do you reckon Sony are behind, or losing ground with another exclusive launching this month then R&C and later horizon forbidden west.

I don't see any evidence of xbox gaining ground as the strategys are different Microsoft want to be the Netflix of games Sony want to be the Samsung

Re: Marvel's Avengers PS5 Version Available to Download Now

It's a definite improvement the ps5 version.

Take iron man's suit on the ps4 version, it looked horrible in cut scenes now it looks amazing. I also noted graphical anomalies are far less on the ps5 version as well.

I think if your after a bit of button bashing and a decent campaign with a good story and free dlc story expansions this is a fun game. I bought mine for £20 with no regrets.

@nathanSF yup I don't get what the game is gonna hang it's coat on like I take it you level up or something or unlock new abilities.

So rpg leveling or maybe loot based leads to the question of how grindy is it because to much it might as well be ftp or if its boring loot aka avengers/predator then people won't stick round to find out.

Re: PS5 Exclusive Returnal Will, Unsurprisingly, Have Near Instant Respawns

@Old-Red I disagree. A lot of games for ages now have been priced at this point.

A lot of games that come out annually are priced even more with special editions and other descriptions with pointless extra stuff like xp boosters early access to game content maybe a free soundtrack.

Also I have stated before that I belive this is not greed but an effort on sonys part to recoup losses and the fact that they are selling the ps5 at a loss. It's the equivalent of a pc with a lot of ram a super fast ssd and a 2080 and a top teir sound card.

Even today you couldn't build that for £450 and Microsoft are in the same boat with the series X which is why I believe that the recent attempt to double their pass price is because they need to recoup their own losses and don't have the luxury of a specific series X exclusive game as all are designed to play across all systems and are priced accordingly.

I think at seventy quid this if it's good will be worth it. Just because it's a rogue lite it shouldn't be priced like demonsouls is stupid opinion as I've clocked up more hours on these games than a lot of single player games like got or the tlou2.
