I'm sure others have asked this question. Was the announcement of no more single player Sony titles on PC related to this news, even if just a little bit? Does Sony feel some people will move to PC/Steam, when they drop physical games?
Even before all the chaos in the world and price increases, a lot of us were saying the PS6 can wait a while. At that time a PS author wrote an article and said they were shocked that everyone didn't want a new game console sooner than later. I'm in no hurry for new hardware.
It doesn't help that leaks get reported by news outlets like this one. I would be oblivious had it not been for this article, and I clicked on it. Not everyone pays attention to leakers or social media in general. But I'm not blaming Push Square, it's the world we live in now. I guess we can try to change our online habits to avoid leaks more.
This is kind of weird since Sony Corp owns Crunchyroll.
"In a first‑ever partnership with the Forza Horizon (6) franchise, all current Crunchyroll members, and those who sign up during Ani‑May, will receive a Car Voucher allowing them to exchange it for any car available at the Autoshow to help them build their dream garage. Japan Awaits!"
While in development maybe it'd be better to just use place order artwork they have the rights to instead of Gen AI slop. I think that's how it used to be back in the day. Maybe that'd be easier to find and replace too.
I'm not sure how much I really care about this, unless the company is in financial trouble. How does a company like SEGA decide if a game sold well or not? Is it based on how much the game costs to make and market? Are they just setting an internal goal and not meeting it? Maybe their expectations are too high and they're disappointed? I've heard this about other companies.
I prefer physical for games and other media, when it's available and not limited / $$. There is a space for digital too. In the end we are enjoying the same stuff, aren't we? It's just a choice.
Not going to sell all my PlayStation games but hope this closure isn't the start of something bad. After seeing all the reactions, I can't begin to imagine the response if a bigger PS Studio was shuddered.
I enjoy getting trophies but an older game not having them won't stop me from playing it either way. Would it be better if they didn't release it at all?
Really not shocked. Look at the WB movie, TV and animation catalog. It's a way bigger deal IMO with classic IP all around. Really hope Netflix doesn't lock this all behind streaming, especially media that still hasn't been brought to home video. Maybe not the same thing, but worth mentioning that Netflix rarely lets an exclusive show out of streaming jail. Look at their exclusive anime properties. Can't think of one western blu-ray release.
Holy crap this is nuts. Video games are one thing but the movies and TV IPs is huge. Not a fan of this at all. So now Netflix owns all WB owns, DC, HBO, Warner Bros Archive, the classic cartoons from Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, Hanna Barbara, etc. Might have to kiss all future home media releases good bye. How can "they" allow this?
@FinneasGH Same here. And at first I was confused with 2 racing games published by THQ with Wreck in the name. But obviously they are not related and are different devs.
Even 2027 seems too early for a PS6. Some gamers are still on PS4 and the PS5 has plenty of life left in the tank. Why do we need a new console every 7 years?
At this point it should be free to play games and save online. But I think we should have to pay for other perks. Then let people decide if they need them. I don't play online games but enjoy said perks. Others are the opposite.
Happy 25th Anniversary PS2! Instead of focusing on negative let's focus on positive, like our memories of the launch. I camped out overnight at my local Best Buy. It was the first and last time, but it was great.
I remember looking at gaming mags in the summer of 1995. Should I get the Saturn or wait a couple months for the PS1? I preordered Sony's first console from Toys R Us. The PS1 got me back into gaming after I graduated high school. I love it. My PS5 grey controller just arrived today. I want a set of PS1 themed shells for the PS5 badly.
This seems to put the focus on prospective PS5 console purchasers affecting the games sales. What about everyone that already owns a PS5? There are a lot of them already.
I love animal companions in games so this trust mechanic sounds awesome. I'll be freeing every wolf I find. Maybe we'll get to see a wolf pack in combat along side Atsu.

Cast my vote for Dragon Age Origins on modern consoles. Add some modern features and improved graphics.

Re: PlayStation Consoles to Stop Getting Disc-Based Physical Releases in 2028
I think I'm getting too old for modern gaming anyway. This proves it. Time to go backwards and just play old stuff.

Re: 'Your Proposal Is Neither Credible Nor Attractive': eBay Rejects GameStop's 'Unsolicited' Acquisition
Good news. eBay is by no means perfect, but I shudder to think how things would change if it were owned by Gamestop.

Re: 'It's All a Bit Depressing': Just 13% Think PS5 Is Worth Its New Price
We're not used to prices going up for "older" technology. Depressed? What did you expect the poll results to be after such a big price increase?
Re: PS5 Prices Jump 2nd April, Grab These Deals to Beat the Increase
Unless you already want a Pro don't give in to FOMO. I'm personally fine with what I have
Re: 'We Should Have Clearly Disclosed Our Use of AI': Crimson Desert Dev 'Sincerely Apologises' for Erroneously Including AI Art in PS5 Game
While in development maybe it'd be better to just use place order artwork they have the rights to instead of Gen AI slop. I think that's how it used to be back in the day. Maybe that'd be easier to find and replace too.
Re: ARC Raiders Replacing Some of Its Controversial AI Voices with 'Better' Human Ones
Replacing AI voices with real humans after a game is released feels like a reaction to negative feedback. Just do it right the first time please.
Re: 'What the F*ck Are We Doing Here?': PS5 Fans Slam Square Enix for Sloppy Multiformat Strategy
It doesn't make a lick of sense. The PlayStation and Switch are incredibly popular platforms. If you have the means, release your games on both.
Re: SEGA's PS5 Games Get Good Reviews, So Why Aren't You Buying Them?

Very happy to have a release date. Looks very cozy and fun.

Re: Sony Makes Shocking Decision to Shut Down Bluepoint Games
These big companies are all the blanking same.
Re: Opinion: The Euphoric Reaction to PS6's Rumoured Delay Really Confuses Me
Where is the rule written that says a new game console has to come out every 6-8 years?
Re: Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter's Success Sees Falcom Profits Soar
Very glad the game sold well and is enjoyed by fans. They need to complete the trilogy.
Re: Fable Announced for PS5, Releases in Autumn 2026
Cool. Looks like you create your own character. Hoping we get the OG trilogy as well.
Re: Western Sales Have Saved the Trails Series, Falcom Boss Suggests
I'm very glad the games are available here and are selling well. But I wish they would also do well in Japan.

Re: Terminator 2D: No Fate (PS5) - A Brief Blast of 16-Bit Nostalgia
Too bad they didn't release a standard physical for the same price as digital. Not every collector cares about extra stuff.

Re: Netflix Says Warner Bros Games Doesn't Hold 'Any Value' in $82 Billion Acquisition
Really not shocked. Look at the WB movie, TV and animation catalog. It's a way bigger deal IMO with classic IP all around. Really hope Netflix doesn't lock this all behind streaming, especially media that still hasn't been brought to home video. Maybe not the same thing, but worth mentioning that Netflix rarely lets an exclusive show out of streaming jail. Look at their exclusive anime properties. Can't think of one western blu-ray release.
Re: Hogwarts Legacy, Mortal Kombat Publisher Warner Bros Bought for $82 Billion by Netflix
Holy crap this is nuts. Video games are one thing but the movies and TV IPs is huge. Not a fan of this at all.

Re: After a Rocky Launch, the Entire Team Behind PS5 Racer Wreckreation Might Be Laid Off
@FinneasGH Same here. And at first I was confused with 2 racing games published by THQ with Wreck in the name. But obviously they are not related and are different devs.
Re: The Game Awards Hype Video Is a Nice Reminder It Isn't All About the Trailers
I won't sit through that. Not my cup of tea. I'll just watch the trailers later when they drop online.
Re: Switch 2 RPG Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma's PS5 Release Could Be Imminent
That's good to hear. Hope it does well. But I wonder why Rune Factory 5 skipped Sony consoles altogether. Can't figure it.
Re: Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter Dev Not Quite Sure Which Classic RPG to Remake Next
I haven't played Trails in the Sky, but if part 3 completed the story, WTH would they skip it's remake now?
Re: Tales of Berseria Remastered Set for PS5, $40 Game Out on 27th February
I already have the PS4 version so probably will skip it and wait for an older game.
Re: PS5 'In the Middle' of Its Lifecycle, Claims Sony

Re: PS1 Minigame Compilation Milano's Odd Job Collection Makes Its Western Debut Next Month on PS5, PS4
Glad to see this is coming soon. Hoping for a physical but will get it either way.
Re: Talking Point: If Xbox Drops the Cost, Would You Be Happy Still Paying for PS6 Multiplayer?
At this point it should be free to play games and save online. But I think we should have to pay for other perks. Then let people decide if they need them. I don't play online games but enjoy said perks. Others are the opposite.

Re: Confirmed: Oblivion Remastered's PS5 Physical Edition Requires 'Additional Download' to Actually Play
Another 20GB "physical" release from Bethesda. Pass.
Re: PS6 Release Date Touted for 2027, Cheaper But Less Powerful Than Next Xbox
2027 feels way too soon despite the pattern of previous releases. Unless the PS6 plays all generations of PlayStation games I am in no hurry at all.
Re: Oblivion Remastered's Anticipated Physical PS5 Release Will Require the Internet
Two discs aside, does it really cost that much more to load an entire version of the game vs 20GB of data?
Re: Sony Is a 'Terrible Company' That's 'Blowing It in the Games Business', Says Michael Pachter
Based on his rationale, he could say the same thing about Nintendo, couldn't he? What a joke.
Re: Official PlayStation Art Book to Mark 30 Years of Gaming History
Pass. Nice design but wish there was an affordable option.
Re: Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined's PS5 Characters Are Based on Real-Life Models
I think the Re-imagined graphics and characters look great. They still look like the work of Akira Toriyama.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy a PS1 at Launch?
I remember looking at gaming mags in the summer of 1995. Should I get the Saturn or wait a couple months for the PS1? I preordered Sony's first console from Toys R Us. The PS1 got me back into gaming after I graduated high school. I love it. My PS5 grey controller just arrived today. I want a set of PS1 themed shells for the PS5 badly.
Re: Second Trails in the Sky Remake All But Confirmed by Falcom Boss
Hope the game does well enough so parts 2 and 3 get the same treatment. Would be weird otherwise.

Re: There's More to Ghost of Yotei's Mysterious Wolf Companion Than We Thought

Very excited for this game. Hope it does really well.
Re: Ys X: Nordic's Controversial Re-Release Skips PS5 for Switch 2 and PC
I already have the base game on PS5. I wish they would give us an upgrade path or sell the extras as DLC, whenever they make a PS5 version that is.
Re: LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight Is a Movie-Spanning Adventure Coming to PS5
Sweet! I'm totally in on this. Movies 4-5 don't hold a candle to 1-3, but I'd love another Indiana Jones LEGO game too.
Re: No Plans for Yakuza, Shenmue Cameos in New Virtua Fighter on PS5
Ryo Hazuki would be cool. I'd love to see him take out his rage on someone for Shenmue III.
