“ the little Disney character at the beginning. This just seems like a fantasy.”
Not too observant is he, as that cute little “Disney” character is shown being thrown, dead onto a fire partway through the demo🤷‍♂️

The game looks amazing, definitely a day one buy…
But the cube is a hard sell, it looks out of place. It’s likely to go through a redesign - maybe a cube that can transform into any form, including humanoid - before the game releases. The ribbons & sword are fine, no complaints🤷‍♂️

I miss NewJeans Sammy😭

Maybe Jason Schreier should be more careful with his words and phrasing to avoid misinterpretation then if he knows that what he says carries weight in the industry and gets misquoted a lot?🤷‍♂️

That’s the whole problem, you can have the best technology to protect peoples accounts, but if the call centre people can be socially engineered into changing account details the whole system can fail. Sony need to take away the access and ability of account detail (email, password, phone number & address) editing by call centre staff🤷‍♂️

Delete the comments (or at least archive them) after each update. It’s currently 95% the negative reactions from the first story, now as the story is slowly clarified after each update & at #4 things are starting to make sense - but comments now don’t.
Finally, if Sony make a statement on the issue that appeases everyone, all comments would be useless and confusing for people who just want clarity & a simple explanation🤷‍♂️
Or you could just generate a new story each time, with a link to the older stories to avoid confusion.

I’ve survived without Xbox exclusives up to now - I personally haven’t bought any, but will Xbox survive without sending their exclusives to PlayStation where they sell in the millions of copies for certain releases? Unless the Xbox audience starts buying their own games the whole division will die shortly after launching their upcoming niche console - which won’t sell more than 10 million units at potentially $1500-$2000 each.🤷‍♂️

Sony pivot now before its too late, don’t cancel the project but take all the assets that have already been created and use them in a single player title involving a heist storyline with an online multiplayer mode component🤷‍♂️

It would make sense if their upcoming generation of hardware wasn’t a niche & very expensive pc but a traditional loss leading console release built for market penetration. They will not go exclusive again.

I think Quantic Dream regrets having their badly behaving owners & some employees in the toxic work environment souring their relationship with PlayStation.
They had a great run of games when they were on Sony’s good side, they just made the games & Sony’s investment money kept rolling in.
I doubt the studio will be around for much longer.

@Jmerbaugh I’ll tell you the reason why you’ll need to buy a PlayStation 6, that streaming service in year 3 of it being the only way to access your library will increase in price for the 3rd time in 3 years and will now cost you $120 dollars a month to access or you lose your whole library including the full price games you bought a la cart for $90 a game.🤷‍♂️

Such total rubbish, the infrastructure investment would be astronomical considering how few countries are yet to introduce the PlayStation streaming service, for example just Australia and the square area needed to cover - server space & energy - and replace the ease of actual hardware. The $$$ outlay is unfeasible, Sony would have to surrender market share in many continents. Hardware is still the most economical & profitable, it keeps you locked into the ecosystem.

It’s easy to fix this particular problem, Sony contacts the developer and demands a name change or it can’t be on the store🤷‍♂️

A whole lot of kids in the comments blaming Sony… Don’t you know about the real world? With all the tech price increases over the last 18+ months & just in the last few weeks shipping costs have at least doubled. Sony just trying to absorb those costs without price increases would have practically bankrupted the PlayStation division🤷‍♂️
Yeah it sucks that prices are rising, but live in the real world and you know that literally every product in the world are having astronomical price increases.

PCMR dudes are a bunch of whiny pr****, who have an inferiority or superiority complex.
Wait a year or two and PC building will be so expensive that they’ll either have to buy the cheaper consoles or the PC’s they build will be inferior in performance to the console anyway in terms of bang for buck🤷‍♂️

Sony won’t block Helix from playing their games, however I wouldn’t be surprised if they deleted all their previously released single player titles from Steam, meaning if you haven’t already purchased the titles you no longer would be able to. But if you did purchase in the past, you can re-download & play.🤷‍♂️

$1200 - $1500+ console. DOA. Why would anyone buy the follow up console to such a badly supported generation & hardware division.
There is no chance of sales in any meaningful numbers, why bother, just concentrate on 3rd party games🤷‍♂️

It’s Faye as the lead as leaked by @NateTheHate2 on X🤷‍♂️

Yeah, it’s extremely hard to pull off live action without looking like bad cosplay.
For example Artreus’ bow - the actor is a weak, very small little kid, so taking into account the scale of the bow, it translates to being maybe 30 centimetres long - a toy with no draw strength/power. The suspension of disbelief that a game or animation provides is hard to overcome.

Well considering MS announced it’s next console is pc with different pc launchers-steam etc. it makes sense that Sony would cut off MS’s avenue to promote its next hardware as being able to play PlayStation games🤷‍♂️

No, generally contracts are created for every game coming to an ecosystem to guarantee a release, for example, release schedules are developed years in advance, a company can’t just pull a release and create a hole in the release schedule as it would damage the platform holder’s bottom line, and reputation as they advertised it as coming to the platform, possibly years in advance. So penalties exist to discourage breaking the contract.

The outrage over Bluepoint is performative at this point, there has been enough information released since, including actual workers admitting that they screwed up themselves with production. The conclusion being Sony was partially at fault in that they gave Bluepoint just enough rope to hang themselves… Sony could have stepped in earlier to cancel the GAAS.
The whole problem was Sony purchased a REMAKE studio but Bluepoint decided they didn’t want to do REMAKES anymore so their subsequent game pitches were all rejected.🤷‍♂️

Another reason they can’t just pivot to exclusivity overnight is that game partner contracts are signed years before release & are ironclad with penalties associated for cancellation = ms has already signed contracts with Sony to release its games on console & can’t get out of the contracts without penalties🤷‍♂️

Cock of War looks amazing 🤩

That sort of delay is good, one month - it takes pressure off of the team.

I’m still waiting for the already announced but still unreleased PixelJunk Eden 2.

No single player campaign means no buy, it’s not even on my radar 🤷‍♂️

Where is PixelJunk Eden 2?

Why would anyone follow Microsoft’s vision of gaming, they are third-place, the losers in gaming… They are irrelevant. What he just said was literally a word soup of buzzwords.
Their vision is simply to eliminate all competition, only to just then get the industry into a position of subscription cloud gaming with no hardware just to get your recurring payment each month.

That’s the equivalent of 8+ large/PlayStation studios…
F*** Microsoft

Well now it will be decisions made by Microsoft which will make your games worse 😁

@Anke It doesn't say PC only anywhere in the broadcast

@LiamCroft I was wondering if you guys are tracking or noticed that a number of the ubisoft games are day 1 free in Ubisoft+ Avatar, Skull and Bones, Assassins Creed Mirage it didn't state it on trailers but usually on the screen behind the speakers presentation (at the end of speech). on The Crew Motorfest it said "early access with Ubisoft+" but with all the above others "Play it day 1 with Ubisoft+" It's also restated at the end of the show just before the extended deepdives in a Ubisoft+ ad.

Horizon Burning Shores already has that title and won't be surpassed

For everyone saying Life of Black Tiger... people new LoBT was crap before hand and has always been very cheap to buy, whereas 2077 was over-hyped and people were deceived about the lack of quality of the game and was full priced.
I just hope lessons have been learned by ALL developers, as well as Sony.

Another new firmware feature is if you hold down the PlayStation button it automatically returns you to the home screen (previously pushing or holding the button would only bring up the pop-up menu).

Yes, i just pre-ordered after the previews...

This is without doubt the laziest and dumbest articles this site has ever written...

Won't be for PS Now, the service isn't in enough markets, it would be rather unpopular with those countries missing out...

Love the look of the console. A surprising feature that would be cool is if the LED strips running down the length of the system could be user changeable to any colour you desired...

Sony haven't been avoiding all 3rd party games showcases for the last 18 months+ to now appear at this or IGN's lame, half hearted shows.
Sony will never share the spotlight with multi-platform titles on a 3rd party showcase.
All announcements from Sony on hardware and large, exciting games will come from Sony themselves (and will continue for the foreseeable future)...

To be fair, Sony have not announced all the features of the DualSense controller as of yet, so this article seems premature...

EDIT: has anyone else noticed that the images are renders, not actual photos (I could be wrong, but I doubt it)???

People hoping to get in better be ready for disappointment, because after the beta I was sent another email to sign up for early access involvement. Which maybe means only people who responded are eligible.

I wouldn't mind betting that at least 80% of those cheering employees will find themselves unemployed in the near future as Bungie will need to downsize, and quickly.
The burn rate of studio funds when you have 700+ employees is astronomical. They need to be a studio of 100 - 150 at most or face closure.

This looks to be a marked step down in quality compared to the previous 2 games.
Character models, environments, combat and especially animations are all rough... I'd suggest people who enjoyed the previous titles be wary after this gameplay reveal and wait for reviews.
I could be wrong, but I'd suggest 6's & 7's at best.

This is where they have to be careful with too many conferences...
I would suggest they will announce "a very special PSX" for February/March 2019, and forego a December 2018 PSX conference. The PS5 announcement is very definitely coming next year.

PROBLEMATIC...a game premise where they clearly state that a person who is lonely/depressed becomes/is a monster. Coming on the heals of a couple of high profile suicides...
However, i'm interested and am looking forward to playing it.

@ranjas the song is from the Eurythmics called Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This). It has also been remade a few times, most notably by Marilyn Manson.

I would like to clarify that the patch notes indicate that it's a performance update, not stability as usual... this update unlocks the 7th core...
