@KoopaTheGamer Yeah, like I said in the article, the arcade versions are the ones every one wants. So it depends how you look at this: they're saving you money if you don't want the console versions, or they're charging you extra if you do...
@Zeroo I don't know how a poll would work man? There are like 10,000 games across PS5 and PS4 (not including the possibility of retro).
The vast majority of people are usually playing different games most weeks, so you'd need an absolutely enormous poll to cover all potential bases, no?
@Max_the_German You could read it that way, but in the context of what she's talking about I took it to mean they will recommit to the Xbox console specifically.
"We will celebrate our roots with a renewed commitment to Xbox starting with console which has shaped who we are"
"We will recommit to our core Xbox fans and players, those who have invested with us for the past 25 years"
I understand it's a difficult position, she wants to get the Xbox fans on board but is basically also saying they're going to continue down the path they're currently on.
Comes across a bit like she's talking out of both sides of her mouth to me, but it is what it is.
@LifeGirl Specifically talking about PS Studios and I think most would agree they did an excellent job of strengthening and expanding their talent throughout the latter half of the PS3 and most of the PS4 eras.
@Flaming_Kaiser I agree that it's going to be difficult for these to all maintain players but at the end of the day you could aim "more of this stuff" at the next Metroidvania, or military shooter, or Soulslike as well.
@Oram77 I’ve always been consistent in my view that if they can’t get it out at a reasonable price next year then they should delay it.
It was people celebrating that which I found confusing. One of the reasons being exactly what’s presented in this article: things may not get better for a LONG time
@Ooccoo_Jr Not really entitlement when they're constantly banging on about their "aggressive" multiformat strategy.
This topic has absolutely nothing to do with Xbox at all. (Although, I guess they should be releasing these games there too if they truly want to be multiformat.)
@AccessibleDaydream Yeah, it's a real shame they couldn't stabilise it to a point where they could at least iterate on it and hopefully build from there.

@AhmadSumadi Awesome! Yeah I could imagine this being fun in short bursts on the Portal!

Man, congrats to Yoko Taro. What an opportunity for him. This is going to be cool.

Re: Don't Forget, PC Engine's City Hunter Tie-In Drops Digitally on PS5 This Week
@PuppetMaster I think so yes. It’s a busy week for me personally so not sure how quickly I can turn it in, but that’s the plan!
Re: Don't Forget, PC Engine's City Hunter Tie-In Drops Digitally on PS5 This Week
I can't wait to play this!!!

@Intr1n5ic Good shout! That's a fantastic price for this!

Do you want to explain how this would work?

Re: Incoming Xbox Boss Promises a 'Renewed Commitment to Console', But Will Still Publish on PS5
@Bingoboyop Ah, I think you're being a bit harsh, these companies definitely do innovate.
But I agree with you in general that the corpobabble is grating.
And while a good CEO does empower their teams, ultimately it's the people in the trenches doing all the work.
Re: Phil Spencer Stepping Down, Sarah Bond Leaving Microsoft in Huge Xbox Shake-Up
Oh great, they’re putting the AI people in charge lol
Re: Sony Goes Silent on Social Media as Fans Turn Feral Following Bluepoint Closure
@LogicStrikesAgain They did, point is they've not posted on any social media accounts for 24 hours now, which is unusual.
It's unlikely they will again until Monday at this point.
Re: Sony Goes Silent on Social Media as Fans Turn Feral Following Bluepoint Closure
@B-I-G-DEVIL Agreed, I've seen a few people I usually like on Sony rallying to "bully" Bungie or Haven and it all rings incredibly hollow to me.
You might not like those studios or their games, but if you care about devs this isn't the way to go about things.
Buy the games you like, support the games you like — everything else will be what it will be.
Re: Sony Goes Silent on Social Media as Fans Turn Feral Following Bluepoint Closure
@Alps_Stranger Sadly way too common for these executives.
Re: As Nier: Automata Reaches 10 Million Sales, Square Enix Teases More to Come
I can't believe we've been waiting this long for more Nier: Automata. The game was such a hit and you still see its characters everywhere.
Re: Roblox Is Being Played More Than PlayStation and Steam Combined
@rjejr It's pretty much on everything apart from Switch.
Re: Roblox Is Being Played More Than PlayStation and Steam Combined
I'm really open-minded about games, and I can usually see the good in everything (even when it's not for me).
But Roblox I just don't get at all. Like I know kids love it, but it's awful. There's so many better games kids could be playing IMO.
Oh well, old man yells at cloud etc.
Re: Preview: This GTA-Inspired Anime Game Took Me by Surprise on PS5
@ThatFunnyBunny Yeah it's a really neat and high quality twist on the concept! I hope it releases soon!
Re: Some Fans Think Fatal Fury PS5, PS4 Is Delivering Better Street Fighter Content Than SF6
@MichaelNau id recommend it if they do a discount or something
Re: Some Fans Think Fatal Fury PS5, PS4 Is Delivering Better Street Fighter Content Than SF6
@Fizza City of the Wolves is such a great game!

I'm still fuming. 😤

Re: Memory Crisis Threatening to Delay PS6 Could Last 'Another 10 Years'

Re: Sony Makes Shocking Decision to Shut Down Bluepoint Games
@McBurn Maybe not but Sony’s strength always used to be its first party management and it looks like that’s eroding in front of our eyes.
Of course we don’t know what happened here, but it’s hard to imagine there wasn’t valuable work for a studio like Bluepoint to do.
Re: Sony Makes Shocking Decision to Shut Down Bluepoint Games
An actual disgrace. I’m still shocked and feel actually angry about this
Re: Preview: This GTA-Inspired Anime Game Took Me by Surprise on PS5
@Fluberuper From what I’ve seen of Ananta, it’s even more ambitious than this. Which is honestly kinda insane.
Re: Sony Makes Shocking Decision to Shut Down Bluepoint Games
This is an actual disgrace
Re: Mobile App Addictions Are Quickly Becoming a Serious Threat to Video Games, Report Claims
I can see it. Many of these apps are obscenely addictive and you can waste hours and hours to them without realising.
The time economy is a fascinating and very modern thing.

@ButterySmooth30FPS I’d forgotten that. A reminder that you just can’t win with a lot of these people.
Re: Sony's Really Trying to Position PS5 as a Destination for Indie Games
So many cool games. Definitely getting a few of these.

@somnambulance Haha, maybe?
Re: Sony Will Offset Soaring RAM Prices by Further Monetising PS5 Players
@darylb24 I see this sentiment everywhere and I just find it so bizarre. There's like 20 games coming out every single day.
Asking for an increase in software is just begging for things to bomb IMO.
Re: PS5's Retro God of War Game Gets the Worst Reviews in the Series
@clvr Well of course they should be aiming for a 10/10. Of course it would be great if the game was reviewing better.
I'm just saying I think it's a fine score for a small project and a crowded genre.
Of course we all wish it was Game of the Year!

@OldGamer999 Clearly you can't please everyone.
Re: PS5's Retro God of War Game Gets the Worst Reviews in the Series
I think a 70 for something like this is totally fine, but no doubt people will be really normal about it.
Re: Failing FPS Highguard's Concord Arc Seems Almost Complete as Website Goes Down
@AccessibleDaydream Yeah, it's a real shame they couldn't stabilise it to a point where they could at least iterate on it and hopefully build from there.
This industry is so cut-throat now.
