Maybe it’s not appealing working on a sports game, but at least they still have a job. It’s also better to look for a new job while you’re still working and not standing in some unemployment line, if they still have those.
While these games were started under Jim Ryan, Hermen Hulst has been the head of first party studios, this is all his doing. This is crazy 🤪 at this point.
This shouldn’t even be a thing. Since when has it been acceptable to call out someone for being upset or emotional? Whether it’s true or not people need to learn how to mind their own business.
As soon as I saw the press release the day before I knew that they were trying to prep us for Elden Rings Erdtree DLC to be nominated for game of the year. I personally feel that dlc should not qualify, remasters shouldn’t qualify either. I do think remakes should qualify, this would also help fix the whole remake/remaster issues. There were discussions last year or the year before about how Cyberpunk was in the live service category for its Liberty City DLC which was absurd. Them constantly having to release updates to fix the game doesn’t qualify for a live service. While I know that there are more prestigious award events for games and developers out there, the game awards can try to be more relevant.
It looked and ran like crap, I finished the first quest and deleted it. I’ll consider checking it out in the future. Talking cats 🐱 are awesome by the way.
By selling the disc drive separately they increase their margins. Both the console and the disc drive have profits baked in, sell them separately and that increases, I personally think it’s really as simple as that.
So I own Doki Doki and Dead Space so for me I answered it as a crap selection because only one counts for me which is a wrestling game I have zero interest in. I really enjoy these polls but would like to see a little more nuance added to them. As someone who buys way too many games that I don’t even have the time to play this happens often with ps plus. It makes answering them quite a challenge, also I clearly I overthink them.
There’s a scientific study that says looking at breast will help you live longer. I say put some breast in the game and we will all live happier healthy lives 😁 together.
While there wasn’t much for me, we got to see Mark Cerny again, I think every game had in engine footage or gameplay and we got quite a few release dates.
I planned on Banishers but all the reviews said the combat wasn’t great so I passed. Jusant is still in my wishlist but I have so many frigging games right now that it can just wait for the foreseeable future.
Pull the plug, give people their money back. Then announce Naughty Dogs multiplayer and hand it over to Firewalk to maintain and build upon, with Naughty Dogs supervision of course.
@bauer_ It’s more likely that the PS5 Pro ships without a disc drive to keep cost down. If we want it, we can purchase one to add to it, the PS6 might take a similar approach. But I’m glad you know exactly what their plan is so we know what to expect.
Sony’s approach to a cheaper version of the PS5 was clearly a great decision. I expect the PS6 will launch in a similar fashion. Now what about the PS5 Pro, hmmm 🤔
It was okay, not a lot for me but I’m not the only gamer out there so I set my expectations accordingly. Not a bunch of mobile crap either so that’s a big win in my books.
I quit playing it a few years ago but my son still plays it. He has finals this week and couldn’t wait to get home to load up the game. What ***** show, he was so frustrated, some things never change. This has been going on for 10 years with them and there really is no excuse at this point, no one should ever defend them for their incompetence.
On the latest episode of Sacred Symbols, Colin Moriarty mentioned this again which makes this and other stories going around ( VGC ) sound weird because they don’t mention Colin specifically. He has spoke on this matter in the past when we learned of the problems at Deviation Studios. He believes that Jason Blundell‘s team might be working out of San Diego studios in SoCal.
Watch them go and make it a game pass add-on or something like that. Your choices will be game pass, game pass + cod or game pass ultimate, don't put it passed them. I think there was even a recent rumor for some kind of add supported game pass. Clearly big daddy Microsoft expects to start seeing real money coming from the xbox division now and not later.
One large is the best way to go. Everyone complained that Ashes of Ariandel was too small so combine it all like The Old Hunters DLC and you don’t get those complaints. Besides, why we all want more Elden Ring we definitely want to know what’s next from FromSoft, what will it be……😬
I think it's a great little device, that being said I do wish it did a little more. For one example, while playing Balatro I enjoy listening to Spotify but it doesn’t support that. It’s just weird decisions like that where I’m like why not you know.
@munkholt if you really want to play it why not buy it? It looks like you can get the Royal Edition for $14 right now, I think that's the game + all the DLC.
Vote with your wallet, if it’s not worth it to you then don’t preorder it. Also we know the price will drop before they can even release any kind of dlc.
I know this is marketing, but since nobody is playing d2 they are doing what they can to try and interest somebody, anybody into playing the game. They also added witch queen to ps+ to try and help. I stopped playing d2 years ago now but anyone still playing should welcome help from Sony because Bungie isn’t making it happen themselves.
@get2sammyb but people are saying it, so clearly there are people that feel this way. Maybe Sony can have there very own yearly release like Assassin's Creed, wouldn't that be great. Don't forget there's also a Horizon tv show on the way too, yay 🙃
Guerrilla is great team but I don't think anyone is looking for this much Horizon. I like Aloy and the world they've created but they are going to over saturate with this IP.
This doesn’t come as a surprise to me, Bandai just released their financials for the quarter and said they had canceled five projects if I remember correctly. My guess is the second set of the Dark Pictures anthology titles got the chop. They really haven’t had much success with the series, it’s not regarded very highly like Until Dawn.
This game is going to cost them big time. They should have cancelled it years ago, I honestly don’t know what they were thinking. Scratch that I do, they want those live service bucks.
