@HotGoomba Nintendo has the ***** business practices hidden behind great games. But their fanbase gives them a free pass for anything. Fortunately, I'm not one of them.
@Flyin45s Really hope so. PS4 had a genuine reason to do PS3 remasters, with the hardware being so different. After MS announcing free upgrades, it should be the norm going forward. Yes to remakes, no to remasters.
@PeakyBlinder He wasn't alone though. Bruce Straley was a major contributor to how the game actually shaped into being. And even though the 2nd part is good, the newly introduced characters were incredibly bland and forgettable. Part 1 was a journey, part 2 was an experience, one that I'm not a fan of.
PS. Do watch this docu by GVMERS on how TLoU came to be, and some other games as well. You'll come to love the effort they put into making these videos. The video is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5v9JjC7hrHc
Seems like all the devs in the world want a pie of Sony. While others buy talent, Sony is known to nurture them. But yeah, a pretty big loss. After HZD, I had high hopes for a Killzone reboot. Still do, only not as excited. Fallout:NV?? Faking 'ell mate, that's a cracker of an experience to have...
Warframe is one of those few not-crapfull-of-mt free games...
So Sony's definitely headed in the rightest of wrong directions, considering single player is their forte...
I still feel the lack of arcade racers from Sony though...
Hope they do something about it...
This was supposed to be the E3 week, ladies and gentlemen... Most probably they were saving up for a grand reveal... This outta nowhere announcement was good as I don't believe this was ever leaked... More companies need to do this...
Ohh sad... Mick Gordon is one those geniuses who can adapt to the style of game he's handed... From DOOM to Prey, his style switched to the point that similarity was unrecognisable... 'Everything is going to be okay' is one of my fav video game tracks... Sad that we won't get him in the sequel...
Thanks for writing this...
Never knew this existed. Now I can sign it too...
It disgraceful tbh. The consistency with which they've provided the games this year have been OK at best...
But after removing the PS3 and the Vita and then increasing prices, this is unacceptable...
Considering Xbox provides 4 (arguably similarly s*****, but they've got Gamepass) games, I'm dumbfounded by the arrogance of Sony of late...
Not the first time either. Everytime they dominate a generation, then absolutely botch the next ( atleast since PS2 days)...
And bloody Jim Ryan...
Who tf thought he'd be a worthy succesor to the lineup of head honchos that we've had till date...
Edit: Atlest give an option to pause the sub, like Humble does...
Spongebob releases the same day as TLoU2 -> TLoU2 delayed... Spongebob releases the same day as GoT -> ??? If (god forbid) GoT gets delayed, now you know why... Spongebob is goat...
I've said it once, and I'll say it again...
Acquire 3 Fields Entertainment, get some of previous Evo devs back (tech ones especially and not Rushy plz) and give them time to bring their A game...
Oh, and just get rid of Jim effin' Ryan...
That guy is the sole reason for why Sony has done sooo badly in terms of FP studios in Europe...
@KALofKRYPTON Every1 is locked away in their apartments...
RN games are one of the only ways to socialize out there...
No wonder COD and FIFA are at the top...
Surprisingly, Sony's the only one without an exclusive in the Top 10...
Didn't expect that given their dominance in Europe...
@BAMozzy My reason for saying 90% games will run or look better is because 90% of the devs won't care to optimize for a particular system... What Sony has shown will most definitely be on XSX (other than that audio engine and IO speed)... And how many devs can we assume will take advantage of that??? Just look at the Pro and the X... Pro games could look equally as good as 1X if checkerboarding was done properly... But no one bothered after some time, and all we got was non checkerboarded lower (than 1X) res games... See, over time these shenanigans will only apply to first party games... Eventually raw power wins, and that leaves us with the Tempest engine and the I/O Very few will even bother with 3D audio other than VR devs... And that I/O speed wont matter as the jump from standard drives to XSX I/O speeds is enough to be called transformative... Microsoft had to cut corners somewhere to keep the cost low... And if they manage to price it the same as the PS5, then hats off to them... I'm still on the PS wagon for the foreseeable future, but this topic of XSX vs PS5 is like beating the dead... XSX is clearly the superior one, and contrary to what others think, I believe the gap in performance will only widen over time...
PushSquare needs to stop with these articles when Sony themselves aren't trying...
Let's just face it, the PS5 is weaker than the XSX and 90% of multiplatforms will look or play better on XSX...
So what? Power disadvantage didn't stop me from sticking with my PS2 and PS3 for 14 effing years...
Granted Sony isn't in as strong a position as it was in those PS2 days, with an overwhelming number of games never landing on other consoles...
This will force Sony into doubling down on their FP games, I hope...
Even though they made some stellar games on the PS4, the frequency of release was pretty slow in comparison to other generation...
Let's hope they ramp up FP productions and everything will be fine...
My only concern is Jim effin' Ryan...
This is probably a landmark release for Platinum on their journey to publish on all platforms... I'll double dip just to support it and to hopefully show them the huge crowd they're missing out on... Maybe then Bayo 4 will release on PC and other consoles along with 2 and 3...
Sony studios need to branch out...
Santa Monica, Polyphony Digital, San Diego and London Studio need to step out of their comfort zones...
And Japan Studio should be expanded and given unlimited freedom...
The quirkiness of their titles is second to none...
Niche is what you target when you're more about experimenting and less about the moolah...
This and the microtransactions news makes me not like CDPR as much as before...
Like, didn't TW3 sell nuff???

No. The whole point of BC was to eliminate remasters. It should be a free upgrade for existing owners.
