The funniest thing about all this is all the people parroting how Microsoft's acquisition of Activision would allow Call of Duty to take a few years off.
@-Sigma- It's actually not on Steam, but I guess seeing as the Valve thing is just a pre-built PC there would be a way to get it to run if you really wanted to.
I kinda find all these "takes" tedious, though. It was the same when the ROG thing came out and people showed Spider-Man running on an "Xbox". No sh*t lol.
@WhoderMan It's a live service game, though. They plan to expand it over time. The game would simply be completely different if they delivered what you describe.
@UltimateOtaku91 There will always be anger unfortunately because people misrepresent and twist everything for engagement and takes. It's tiring but it is what it is.
@ZeroSum Currently only listed for release on PC and mobile, although I suspect it could come to PS5 later if they really wanted it to.
As the quote says, they're designing it with mobile in mind first and foremost.
I do like how Sony has been quietly going about its business lately.
Obviously as a website editor I want them to speak more about what they're doing and why, but it is kinda cool to see them just casually rolling stuff like this out.
This is a big update, and they just kinda dropped it.
@rjejr I think it's because the matches are smaller. But you play more than me for sure so I couldn't really speak to any real differences beyond that.
@N1ghtW1ng What are the technical issues? Only thing I've seen people talk about a lot is some missing audio in the 32X version of MK2. But it's already been fixed on PC I believe.
I personally think the commercials are quite cool and they'll look great in the cinema over Christmas.
The message is pretty easy to absorb. Obviously hard to know what kind of impact it has on the average person, but keeps the brand in the collective consciousness I guess.
It's fine if you guys don't want to play Fortnite but I hope you guys realise it's not cool to "deprive" yourselves of a great game just because it's popular.
@DonkeyFantasy You can definitely have tons of fun with Fortnite without ever spending. And if you do want to spend a small amount, the Battle Passes are usually good and fairly affordable.

Re: Ratchet & Clank Mobile May Be Okay Actually, First Gameplay Revealed
I think this looks fantastic. Excited to give it a go.

Yeah, right!
Re: Sony Flexes Its Almighty Marketing Muscle with PS5 Promos Around the World
@Rich33 I think you’re confusing different things to be honest.
Statements from executives you disagree with don’t come through the marketing department.
On the PS5 Pro, I think they just always knew the people who cared about it would seek out the information they need.
Re: Death Stranding Isolations Is a Disney+ Anime Series That Tells an Original Story
The character designs are by Ilya Kushinov. I absolutely love his work!

@Korgon Mobile is the biggest platform in Asia
Re: Hands On: Where Winds Meet PS5 Is Vast, Visionary, and on the Verge of Collapse
@AhmadSumadi The purchase is just an optional "pre-order" thing that gives you some bonus goodies. You don't need to buy that.

Re: The Next Horizon Game Is an MMO by NCSOFT for PC, Mobile
Trailer looks real good. We'll update when it's officially published.
I know there'll be a lot of anger directed at this, but it could be big in Asia.
Re: New Ratchet & Clank Game Announced, But Not for the Platform You Want
This looks great. Glad they’re finally getting PS Mobile off the ground.
I will pre-register for sure.
Re: Sony to Stimulate Japanese PS5 Sales with Cheaper, Region-Locked Model
It's a big price difference, and presumably they'll have room to do some promotions on top.
It's definitely going to help.
Re: Sony's Aniplex to Assist Transitioning Sublime PS5, PS4 Visual Novel Needy Girl Overdose to Anime
@saffeqwe Thanks for the heads up. Corrected!
Re: Hands On: PS Portal Is a Whole New Device with Cloud Streaming Update
@Muttt I think it's very possible they want to let people in slowly yeah.
Also, to be honest, this is an expensive service for them to offer. They don't really want you to be playing this way.
But it's cool they're improving the tech and seem fairly well placed to capitalise if this becomes a bigger thing in the future.

Re: Site News: Where's Our Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road PS5, PS4 Review?
Any questions let me know!
Re: State of Play Announced for 11th November, Focus on Japanese PS5 Games
The fact there's an MC and the table/chairs image suggests this will be more conversational/interview focused than other State of Plays.
Just putting that out there to align expectations before all the "why are they talking so much" complaints.
Re: 'PS Portal Users Are More Engaged Than Non-Users': Sony's Hit Handheld Outperforms All Other Remote Play Methods
@Mattlong78 It’s been so successful it’s definitely going to be part of their product line moving forwards.
They’re only going to make it better.

@stBoa French manufacturer.
Re: These 15+ PS5, PS4 Games Are Coming Out Next Week (10th-16th November)
Been looking forward to Inazuma Eleven for years now.
Re: The Real Star of Gran Turismo 7's Free PS5, PS4 Update Is a 312km/h Minivan
Those Gran Turismo 2 graphics still hold up!

Re: Football Manager 26 Given a Red Card on PC for Putting PS5 Players First
@Jacko11 @UltimateOtaku91 "There does seem to be other issues beyond the UI, with other reviews citing bugs and missing features."
Re: Fortnite's Superb The Simpsons Season Breaks Records for Blockbuster Battle Royale
@rjejr I think it's because the matches are smaller. But you play more than me for sure so I couldn't really speak to any real differences beyond that.
Re: Reebok's PS1 Sneakers Are So Good They'll Boot Up Your Nostalgia
@Balaam_ Nice!!!
Re: PS Portal Gets So Much Better Today in Huge UI, Cloud Streaming Update
Man, PS Portal has been such a huge success. So interesting to think about the original reaction to this product.
Re: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 May Be the Most Expensive PS5 Game to Date
@Grackler US version doesn't include tax though, right?
Re: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 May Be the Most Expensive PS5 Game to Date
@Cambrius Haha, fixed. Thank you!
Re: Earn Your PhD in Uber-Exciting Anime Arcade Racer Screamer for PS5
@Jokul It plays great. Really competitive and edge of your seat stuff.
What are you finding underwhelming?
Re: Sony's Allowing Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection Refunds Because the PS5, PS4 Compilation Is a 'Downright Nightmare' for Some
@N1ghtW1ng What are the technical issues? Only thing I've seen people talk about a lot is some missing audio in the 32X version of MK2. But it's already been fixed on PC I believe.
I criticised the online in the review.
Re: Sony's Allowing Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection Refunds Because the PS5, PS4 Compilation Is a 'Downright Nightmare' for Some
@MrPeanutbutterz Honestly, I didn't notice it. (These games have always been sluggish in my opinion.)
However I can't argue with the data compared to the other platforms, and I'm glad they're going to patch it.
Re: Sony's Allowing Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection Refunds Because the PS5, PS4 Compilation Is a 'Downright Nightmare' for Some
@Pat_trick @Luigia @N1ghtW1ng My personal opinion is that Digital Eclipse did the right thing reproducing the games as they were originally intended.
Could they have added an alternative option? Yes, I suppose so.
But I think considering the product they're selling, they were absolutely right to offer the original experience.
Re: Earn Your PhD in Uber-Exciting Anime Arcade Racer Screamer for PS5
I need this game yesterday, man. So exciting!
Re: Interview: Lumines Arise Could Be the Most Emotional, 'High-End' Puzzle Game You Ever Play
Great interview, Stephen. Always been a big fan of Enhance and really looking forward to Lumines Arise.
Re: PS1 Minigame Compilation Milano's Odd Job Collection Makes Its Western Debut Next Month on PS5, PS4
I really miss pixel art like this.
Re: Dispatch Proves the Telltale Model Can Still Work, Sells 1 Million Copies
I'm planning to pick this up soon. Looks fantastic.
Re: 'It Happens on PS5': New PlayStation Adverts Mark Five Years of PS5
I personally think the commercials are quite cool and they'll look great in the cinema over Christmas.
The message is pretty easy to absorb. Obviously hard to know what kind of impact it has on the average person, but keeps the brand in the collective consciousness I guess.
Re: 'It Happens on PS5': New PlayStation Adverts Mark Five Years of PS5
@Max_the_German Wrong.
This is brand marketing. They've always had commercials like this.

@CallMeDuraSouka Haha awesome, hope she likes it!
Re: As Sony's PS Plus Premium Expands Slowly, Another Dev Announces PS1 Emulation Plans
@Balie3000 I think whatever way you slice it, we should be getting more than one PS Plus Premium game per month!
Two or three feels about right for the service given the sheer amount of content they could realistically add.
I understand the PS Store is flooded with content in general, but people are paying for PS Plus Premium so they can do better.
Re: Shmup Fans, Sit Down and Pay Attention to This New PS5, PS4 Compilation
@hisownsidekick Fair point! I'll keep that in mind for future articles.
These are seminal arcade shmups; very few surprises if you're familiar with the genre.
Hard to say whether this collection would be for you. If you're open to trying these style of games, then these are good ones to give a go.
Re: Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection (PS5) - An Almost Flawless Victory for Fighting Game Fans
@DennisReynolds I know it's focusing on the early era and that's fantastic, but I do hope those PS2 era titles get added eventually, perhaps as DLC.
Re: Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection (PS5) - An Almost Flawless Victory for Fighting Game Fans
@Truegamer79 There’s lots of little thoughtful tweaks like that which don’t change the games but just make them a bit more enjoyable.
The loading improvements in MK Trilogy also make a nice difference.
Re: Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection (PS5) - An Almost Flawless Victory for Fighting Game Fans
@Knave21 I personally didn’t notice it. Not saying it’s not there, but the games play how I remember them personally.
