Re: Star Wars Outlaws Rated in Australia

Star Wars Outlaws "looks" like an amazing single player game. Hoping for some more gameplay footage or a demo.
Dropping a demo usually means the developer is very confident in their game.

Re: Reaction: The Problem with PlayStation Right Now

Rushing out an unfinished game is a costly mistake. Games like "Days Gone" achieved eventual success, but missed their full financial potential due to a premature release. This IP should not be abandoned. Franchises like this, with established fanbases, are prime candidates for sequels, which have the potential to sell millions.

Remastering recent games is a less effective use of development resources, typically yielding only modest profits. However, remakes of classic titles can be highly successful, as evidenced by the strong sales performance of the "Dead Space Remake" in 2023.

Re: Suicide Squad's Live-Service Content Isn't Designed to Take Over Your Life

They should have made a new game about one of the other superheroes like.... "Superman" and made it a single player open world story with side quests involving a villain like a previous game that sold well.... "Batman Arkham".
I know big companies want to build a gold mine to fill their pockets, but publishers are wrecking their brands reputation by switching to make live service games.

Re: Wolfenstein: The New Order

I am playing this game for the first time in 2024 on PS5. This is an excellent game considering it's 10 years old. The storyline is very good, the gameplay is great and I'm definitely looking forward to playing Wolfenstein 2.

Re: The Latest PS5 Firmware Update Is Available to Download Now

Here is another suggestion to stop seeing content about games. To "unfollow" games on your PS5:
Go to Settings > Saved Data and Game/App Settings > Followed Games > Manage Followed Games.
Unfollow a game, it will show the Undo option.
Press Circle button to go back to the Settings menu.
Enter again "Manage Followed Games"

Re: PS Plus Subscriptions on Sale Now, But There's a Big Catch

kirkn

Can you stream all the PS5 games in the PS plus catalogue now?
The streaming service would be quite useful if all the PS plus catalogue game are available so I can try out games for 20 mins without having to download 30-100gb games and then delete them 20 mins later if I don't like them.

Re: Sony Has Stopped Updating PS Plus' Subscriber Numbers

I wish the digital games on the PS store had better prices and discounts, this is what they desperately need to improve.
If physical games and a disk drive are scrapped in the next gen. PS6 loads more members will disappear, because the prices on the PS store are a rip off (after the initial release price).
