They are insane to release this game during the same period as Dead In Space and Hogwarts Legacy. It probably be wiser for them to bank the project, release it later in the year when there is less massive games from established franchises being release. An start working on their next game. Like film studios do.

@Impossibilium There actually no reason for any of these companies to be making cuts, none of them are even close to becoming unprofitable. The only reason they are doing it is to impress investors. I suspect in long term they will end up causing damage to themselves.

@Ooccoo_Jr I suspect it will be New York again. I'm hoping there is a new location, may through some sort of inter dimensional portal or may be Spidey take a trip on a flight somewhere, hunter home country.

@naruball Unfortunantly for fans it rumor it didn't meet Square Enix usually ridiculous sales targets.

@Shepherd_Tallon A strong black female lead character of cause it was going to cause people to hate it online. Me I will be buying this along with Hogwarts legacy to support both game developers. Just don't ask when I will get time to play them !!!

@nessisonett An the first minister is making a bigger deal than it really is or has to be. All the whilst many Scottish MSPs are saying they are willing to make changes to the law to make it compatible with UK wide legislation.

Of cause the First Minister rather than talk and compromise, just want a show down in court to further of nationalist agenda. A show down legal experts as said she will lose and apparently once again be advise like last time by her own legal team that she won't win. It clear she loves pissing tax payer money down the drain.

First game in years that I will pay full price for.

Not surprise, Carpenter hasn't directed a full length movie since 2010.

No fixes to the camera, which seems a bit change considering that one of the biggest criticism.

@Paultall it could be that they gave us a uncompressed version of the demo or that they gave us the whole world in the demo and just block the stuff they didn't want us to see.

@vikramsingh So was Sony I suspect but once Square got Sony money I suspect they cut resources on the project an rush it to completion.

@Keyblade-Dan People have only been predicting it for the last 20 years. Takeovers are virtually unknown in Japan, it nearly always mergers.

@LifeGirl The flaw with VR is that you basically need high end mobile phone hardware plus more to make it worthwhile but people aren't willing to pay for that hardware as a peripheral.

Another bold prediction, Sony open up a pop up Playstation Bar that allow people to play PS5 an VR.

@colonelkilgore May be this will be the year Sony finally take Square Enix over.

@Yozora146_ I have a feeling Sony might formally bring it to PC later on when the hardware itself is profitable. Hackers will probably get it working on the PC inside of a few weeks.

Thinking about it for about 10 seconds, twisted metal is the absolutely perfect franchise for a live service, battle Royale game. An has the potential for a huge toy market as well.

@GuttyYZ Probably not a tonne of them, they are developing a tonne in the hopes they find their fortnite, a game that turns over 5 billion.

@theMEGAniggle It could be a project that has been created by X Dev that has been presented to Sony higher ups and got funding an support, it could be they have even spun out a new studio for the game.

@mus422 They did, they explain they were building a brand new engine for the game so that they could create whole planets, or very large planets and seamless flights from planet to space.

It a yearly release title like fifa 2023. Frontier will release f1 manager 2023 next year no doubt they will fixed and deepens many featurs.

@Gyousel That because most wanted bigger screens that take up less floor space in their houses, LED and LCD and Plasma were able to deliver that, at a affordable price. HD CRT weren't. Consumer weren't interested in paying more for a better picture quality.

@Bamila That would trigger Microsoft to finally give up. GTA 6 exclusive to the PS6

Racing games is the gaming genre where I genuine struggle sometimes to tell whether it is game footage or real footage.

@GeneJacket it impossible to put any kind of price on any of that. They would have only been working with script writer's an director an concept artist's until they were happy with the script. Then they bring everyone else in. As far as I know none of the previous efforts got past script writing stage. So the cost is likely to be tiny, certainly not a hundred million.

At end of the day Sony is happy with box office numbers an a second sequel is coming. An Sony runs a very economic film production ship. maybe to economical when it came to resident evil.

An Sony certainly got a nice staple of franchises going now with Venom, jamanji, spiderman an Ghostbusters an uncharted. Ghost of Tsushima

@CynicalGamer Surely there got to be a God Of war game in the works. I don't care about Sony denials on that matter.

Tesco is selling the game 60 quid, it only 5 quid more than the PS4 version. An I choose it because their was no PS4 in stock, an I suspect many people found the same. Sony said it would be a free upgrade they didn't say they would make it easy to get hold off for the first few weeks.

@Ambassador_Kong Sonic was pre pandemic, so you really can't prepare.

@Porco @stefan771 250 million world wide, on a middle of the road budgeted film, 120 million isn't a lot of cash for a film nowadays, Next Mission impossible films is look like they will come in at 200 million a piece. An it has a china opening date as well in March. So it will likely be profitable, is it a billion dollars film probably not but it will probably clear 400 million. Can they turn it into a billion dollars film franchise, well I suspect they will give it a good try.

@Kanji-Tatsumi Sony has been on a roll lately, so was shock how back Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City was. It seem to me that half half the got cut or they simply didn't have the budget to make half of it. Sony like to keep their budget tight, an some do a lot with that budget but not the directors and producers behind that film.

@naruball For films I do trust the overall number more than I do critics. Not for games because gamers are crazy nutters.

@pierco Given repeated rumours of Sony doing something with Home, I agree Sony will enter in the Metaverse wars, an if they get people like Media Molecule to create the creative tools it could be successful.

@IonMagi They got 30 billion dollars in cash on hand plus they are a bank in Japan, so there ability to raise money is huge. They could easily afford to buy many third party studios like Sega, Capcom, Square Inc are all in there price range.

@Voltan So the same as the last generation and the generation before, does well in the US, crap everywhere else.

They should just spin off their gaming division as a seperate company. Give them a 10 year license for all of their properties.

@uptownsoul An Xbox isn't just doing time exclusive they have right out come and said Bethesda new games won't come out on the ps5, that worst than time exclusivity.

@KilloWertz Sony directly funded the FF7 remake, the exclusivity agreement is likely longer than anyone knows and likely included a clause that SE couldn't work on producing the game for other platforms.

Surely they made a mistake project athia and actually meant 2032?

@Octane an we all know how that turn out. One of the best and most ambitious games around still receiving updates.

Not sure what this has to do with online or off line play. The PS5 is all about speed, from start up times to the SSD to getting you as quickly as possible into the game.

It what makes Astro Speed runs so addictive.

@PaperAlien The size of a japanese flat is tiny, compare to many countries, so they don't have the space. That one of the reasons anyway.

@Col_McCafferty lol given that the PlayStation 5 launch single handily brought every retail site and most delivery services site crashing to a halt. Something xbox launch didn't seem to do on the same scale. I think we can safely say it doesnt matter articles they write right. PlayStation is crushing Microsoft xbox

Fix the bug but keep this in behind a cheat code.

Well that will never be certified by Sony as it fails to match the speed the speed of the internal drive. An consoles are all about standardisation. Back to the drawing board Western Digital.

@SilenceCZ They aren't forcing Tesco to open their pre orders, they are close.

@ShaiHulud I pre ordered in the early mornings around 2am.

I wonder if he jump the NDA gun here and will the sony cops be showing up at his front door.

In normal times many of us would have probably got a chance to play the game console at EGX in the UK.

Hoping there one available on Very, missed out last time.

@SirAngry Nothing new or disrupted, Microsoft tried this before, it went nowhere, it will go nowhere this time around. People for mobile phones because they been condition for decades that you have to pay monthly for your phone. No one has condition people to do the same for consoles.

@carlos82 That what I'm thinking, the Discless could be heavily subsidies by Sony. They get a guaranteed £50 a year and 100% of first party game sales. I thinking it could be as low as £399 or even £350. It the discless version where I think Sony will throw it money behind. An console which matches Microsoft discless console in price but blows it out of the water in specs could be a winner. Microsoft might have been unwise making their discless version with so much less power.

An I think it the discless version where we will see Microsoft and Sony really compete on price.
