Sounds like a game I will check out

@OldGamer999 yeah because all the studios are being gobbled up by a few huge publicly traded companies.

@Wiceheid And what is marketing today anyway? Most games are announced with a YouTube video. Their practices make me sick. They closed two insanely talented studios while at the same time using two square enix studios to help two games in development hell make it to market. I don't understand rooting for this kind of industry. Luckily I don't give a crap about Activision but I do worry for two of my favorite studios in Arkane and DoubleFine

Edit: i guess I should've actually read the article. I'm not in Europe so I am unaware of Sonys strategy across the pond

Sadly, Sony isn't blessed with the acquisition budget of Microsoft

Well, Skill Up enjoyed his time with it so as long as it gets the star wars stuff right and feels like a lived in star wars world, I'm okay with no ground breaking mechanics. I already know it's going to be a division style shooter with stealth mixed in. I'm in it to explore the world and be a bounty hunter in it.

They have stuff cooking but nothing is ready to show. I would rather studios be allowed to take their time and not crunch, because if you've watched any docs on game dev, you know these reveals often take a month to create. Hopefully, next year we'll see Wolverine and whatever the hell Cory Barlog has been working on. Also, Sucker Punch should be ready to show something.

I mean, yeah, when everything in the game is scanned it's going to look good.

@PrettyPawsome I wasn't trying to belittle you but type in assassin's creed shadows into YouTube and you will come across dozens of videos attacking the supposed wokeness, dei, whatever they are calling it, a lot of then before you even get to the trailer. So yes, it's a prevalent theme. As for games, I don't who I play as. They are works of fiction and the choice of the dev team.

@Callmegil this makes.no sense when you consider that Japanese studios make their own Japanese characters look white. I'm playing persona 3 reload and I guess these characters are supposed to be Japanese but nothing about their appearance indicates that. DMC, Resident Evil, Final Fantasy, etc etc etc...these are all opportunities for Japanese companies to make strong Japanese leading men. Maybe it's about money. It's always about money.

@PrettyPawsome you evidently didn't read the comment section or see the dozens of videos about it. It's just another battle in these maniacs war against "wokeness". The major complaint being that they claim yasuke was essentially a pet and the female has a square jaw. So yeah, even if you didn't research before you commented, there was no gameplay shown, so what else could the vitriol be about

Not good but I feel like I already got my money's worth with animal well and Dave the Diver. I guess you could say they were last months but I haven't gotten to them yet because I'm entrenched in persona 3 after beating stellar blade. I'm very tempted to take a break for animal well though. I have no doubt I'll love that game

I hope Double Fine gets out before they get shuttered. I love that studio but their games aren't huge sellers

I am having none of the input issues you described. Are you certain you had your TV in game mode lol?

Edit; it seems as though when you come out of the map it doesn't register movement if you immediately press forward.

I still don't get how people are okay with Atlus releasing the same game, with some updates content, at full price with no upgrade path. If this were Ubisoft, people would riot

@LifeGirl Yes but people make mistakes. People fail. At launch it was still a playable game. They just ran out of time for what they had planned. They have more than made up for it. They have years ago actually and would be fully within their right to charge for some of these updates after delivering what they promised. Yet they continuously go above and beyond for free to anyone who owns the game. I haven't played it but I will some day.

@NEStalgia can you play sitting down? I have psvr2 but I don't have a ton of space where I have my PS5 located. I played both Moss games but my go to is definitely gt7

Nice! Two day 1 games I planned on buying

@RicksReflection I don't think they are claiming the PS5 pro can do 60/8k. I think they stated that PSSR will be updated for that when it's included on the ps6. Unless I'm misunderstanding you

They deserve a break. Maybe make a smaller passion project

@eduscxbox They are trying to make game pass the Netflix of gaming. That's the obvious goal and one that's been stated. They are shooting for Netflix numbers...200-250 million people. I don't want to be in a gaming future where it's all subscription based. Microsoft only wanting to pay 5 mill for BG3, a game whose budget was well north of 50 million says a lot about what that future could look like.

@Friendly Phil himself said they need to find a way to bring more people to Xbox. You act like making a profit is good enough for these big mega corporations. It's all about infinite growth. It's why Microsoft has laid off 12000 employees in the last year alone. And Amazon laid off 29,000 despite making like 200+ billion in profit last year

@eduscxbox Yeah not the same as profit as the other guy said. phil said they need to bring more people over to Xbox if they want to remain competitive. They just spent like 100 billion dollars on acquisitions in the past few years

@nookie_egg I played them on Switch. I'm pretty sure MS dumped the developer after some harassment claims. Not sure if they own the IP or not.

@Kidfried yeah but they didn't know they were going to be hacked

Seriously, what the hell is going on? Do people do nothing but play video games to elicit such vitriol? I don't get it. Especially considering how passionate and prolific this studio is

@dark_knightmare2 Yeah, they should have made the predictable story of either Ellie or Joel gets captured and you spend the game trying to rescue them. Or Joel and Ellie go on another adventure. People constantly criticize game companies for playing it safe but this shows there's a reason they do

@naruball lol, so whatever time he spends in actual reality, he spends it being a troll on a PlayStation website? What a life

@naruball I know. I've gotten into it with him before. I don't think he lives anywhere but VR. He was constantly bragging about how many VR games he has.

@TrickyDicky99 I already told you I don't play much VR. I shouldn't have said that because it buried my point which is it's estimated that the retention of quest 2 is about 10%. VR is niche. Deal with it. Doesn't mean you can't enjoy it

@SonOfClement no you're not the only one. There are plenty of games coming this year for psvr2. Personally, I think third party game makers would be stupid not to release their games on as many platforms as possible. Free to play games, yeah I don't think people buy Playstation for those types of games

@TrickyDicky99 did you just describe yourself?
You're the one with the hang up admitting VR being niche... It is.

I already made the point that headset sales have dropped off 40 percent. The quest 2 is selling because of the price. People just want to try it out and play Beat Saber. That 20 million number has not translated to game sales except for a very few select games. Very very few VR games have even sold 1 million copies. Why would any serious VR person buy the quest 2 when it's not even powerful enough to play VRa best games? I may get a Quest 3 in the future but most of the time, I have to have one foot in reality. I rarely get time to myself to be unaware of my surroundings

@TrickyDicky99 Because you're replying to every comment saying it's dead and keep bringing up Meta. There are well over 50 games scheduled to release this year on it and it's only January. Maybe Sony isn't supporting it but it's not dead. Wait, are you that guy who bragged about having over 100 VR games and refused to play GoW Ragnarok because it was also releasing on PS4? I think you are. You're a tool. I forgot to ignore you.

@TrickyDicky99 I didn't argue that point. Doesn't explain why would Capcom would add a free Vr2 mode if it was completely dead. Are you a Meta fanboy?.My point was there is a clear line in the sand on what people will pay. Anecdotally, I know 5 people who have the quest 2 for their kids and they either never use it or only play one game. They got it for the novelty and because it was only around 200 bucks. And the figures back it up as total VR headset sales have plummeted by 40%. The masses don't want better VR, they want cheap VR. Otherwise it's niche

I'm not someone who plays a ton of VR anyway. I'm happy with the library PSVR2 has . I haven't even gotten to half the games I have. Eventually I'll get around the RE 8 & 4. Usually I just play GT7.

@TrickyDicky99 Well, at the very least there is a major cutoff in what people are willing to pay for it. Quest 3 isn't selling well at all according to q4 earnings. Quest 2 outsold it by a significant margin during the holiday season, so clearly the cheaper price point entices people who generally don't play.

@TrickyDicky99 context matters, VR is a very niche community. A console selling 13 million is a total disaster. If Nintendo didn't hit with the Switch, they'd most likely become Sega and only make games. at least those were the rumors at the time.

@MFTWrecks you typically need a dongle for 2.4 ghz connection. It creates a more stable, low latency connection

@MFTWrecks they use 2.4 ghz wireless for their connection not Bluetooth, hence the dongle. It's not that uncommon in gaming

I don't see why they wouldn't be usable for any headphones. But storing the settings on the headphones might be exclusive to Sonys hardwarw

I can't fathom playing this game a second time anyway.

@StrickenBiged given this company's penchant for the releasing the same game over and over with no upgrade path, I certainly wouldn't be surprised. In fact, I would expect it

@Phelaidar It's a game mode totally detached from the main game. It's not like Valhalla which furthers the story

@Darth_Stofi Well, the original TLoU was a ps3 game. The PS4 version was just rereleased ps3 version at 1080p. A total remake wasn't necessary for part 2.

@FX102A there is no way they spent ten years making a game they didn't want to make. There would've been multiple Jason Schreier articles about it. The problem isn't even the live service part of it. It's the fact that it's not a very good shooter and the controls are unintuitive. The cutscenes are long and the missions (if you can even call them that) are boring as hell. At least that's what I got out of my time with it. I found myself not even understanding what I was doing aside from the fact that the boss lady told me I had to.

@Discol76 they are excellent games though as long as you're okay with really long cut scenes. I haven't pulled the trigger on no man's sky yet. I have psvr2 as well. Have you played the game without vr? Is it good?

@Discol76 I wouldn't recommend playing them back to back. Most of the mini games are recycled and the combat is very similar. You'll get burned out quick.

I'm sure Atlus will do what Atlus does and rerelease the game in a couple years with some additional content for another 70 bucks with no upgrade path.

Don't worry. They'll rerelease it a year later with all the additional content for 60 bucks with no upgrade path

@rachetmarvel I'm fine but it rubs me the wrong way that they basically released a game, then added dlc, then charged full price for that dlc. Why aren't people up in arms like they were for the 10$ up charge Sony uses

How many times are they going to milk this game? They have already sold it at full price several different ways. I liked Strikers when I was playing it, but nothing really stuck with me afterwards. All their money and resources should be going to P6 so they can release 3 different versions of that

@itsfoz don't think its TLoU3. Last time Druckman talked about it he said something to the effect that they would only make it if they had an engaging story to tell... And that was fairly recently. There have been rumors for a while that they are working on a sci-fi game though.
