Playstation continues to launch AAA games that sell millions of copies and are awarded multiple GOTY awards. MS continues to squeeze out one or two turds a year while Blizzard/Activision games die on the vine because they are reduced to a third the number of consoles they were being released upon before because as proven, MS can't manage their studios. And Gamepass is further devalued by games like Diablo 4 becoming free to the small number of Xbox players out there. Cutting out the 100 million+ PS gamers is a bad move. But that's all MS is capable of doing.
@Arxagelos It's literally what's going to happen, dude. Microsoft is going to have a show next, right? What are they going to show? Starfield and a bunch of 3rd party stuff Sony already showed. Then Sony will have a State of Play to show off their 1st party stuff for the holidays. It's not a theory, it's just what's going to happen.
Not being ready to show some things now worked out for Sony. Because after MS has its showing (of stuff Sony already showed) then Sony will have more new stuff that will be ready to show. Is that chain of events hard to follow?
Sony took the piss out of Microsofts next showing. Sony showed all the major 3rd party and indie stuff so Microsoft will have little new stuff to show. Meanwhile, later this year, Sony will have a bunch of new 1st party stuff to show. Their strategy is a good one and it's going to hang MS out to dry. Again.
Another soft nudge by the industry pushing us towards pure digital...I'll love it when all the video game makers announce they aren't doing disc's anymore and the community acts like this will have been sprung on them like some big surprise.
Happy to see this one happening. After the PSVR version, which wasn't HORRIBLE (but could have been better) this is a welcome sight! I hope they have all the expansions in the pipe as well!!!
I never saw the big deal with this game. I played all the way to the end and a couple of people jumped in and out. Someone please explain what's 'beautiful' about that? Flower was a much better and more interesting game.
I'll get it on a sale. I don't support $70 games. I bought Demon's Souls at $50, I bought Returnal at $40, and I bought Ratchet and Clank at $50. I can wait. No biggie.
I'm only interested in Diablo 4...that'll be on PS5, that deal has already been made. I don't care about CoD or Overwatch. Those are the only games i'm even aware that they publish.
It doesn't matter what new killers they add to this game. Until they do something about the ridiculous amount of hacking that goes on, there is no point in playing.
I have defeated my own personal feeling of nostalgia. No longer do I buy games that I had a fun time with 20 years ago. My gaming tastes have changed over the years. I simple YouTube video is all I need to save myself from buying these games again. Also I won't support Rockstar's continuing habit of vomiting unoriginal content for a quick buck.
I'm all for a new Sony handheld. But no gimmicky stuff like touchscreens or cameras. Just focus on making it a pure gaming machine. Give it R1/L1 and R2/L2 shoulder buttons along with clickable analog sticks so we can have R3/L3. Give it a quality gamepad and normal PS buttons. And give it the same architecture as the PS4 and PS5. Make it an x86 system with a compatible GPU with the same SDK as the consoles so more developers will have an easier time getting started with it!
If they would just limit the number of players a little more and do something to speed up the load times it would be much more playable. But to wait in a lobby for 10 minutes as the players file in and then wait the atrociously long load time to get into the game itself, only to be killed after a minute of play is...bad.
People who think we're gonna get the Discord they see on their PC's are sorely mistaken. We'll get a brutally cut-to-pieces version of Discord with a UI to match the PS4/PS5 UI. We'll be able to create and join Text and voice channels. There will be no video. No one is going to be running Discord servers on their consoles.
Sony should just keep doing what it is they they are doing. Maybe make a little more obvious effort in light of recent Xbox efforts, but they should just keep on making great games.
The game is basically Streets of Rage with a little Destiny-style loot mixed in with Marvel characters. I enjoy the game myself. I just REALLY want to put some time into the PS5 version, but some weird quirk of fate keeps me from acquiring a PS5. Oh yeah, that's the insane mobs of people still trying to get a PS5 nearly 6 months out from launch.
As exited as I am to play this, I'm waiting for a price drop. $70 is not an acceptable price point for me. I'm just not paying that for ANY game, ever.
