I would hope, and assume, that Xbox pitching that all of those games are exclusive to their ecosystem would be counterproductive to them making boatloads of money. Game Pass is not, and will never be, profitable enough to cut the tap off to Playstation and Nintendo players.
I would hope that they'll only charge maybe $10 - $20 for the upgrade. To charge full price for a game that still holds up so, so well, would be honestly insane.
And to echo what everyone else has said, it is a shame that this seems to be what ND has been reduced to.
1. I would love to see more verticality. Maybe missions where you scale the side of a building using dope futuristic tech. 2. I wouldn’t mind if they pulled a RDR2 and the second game was before this timeline. 3. Maybe in another country entirely would be cool.
I've definitely had far, faaaaar more bugs with the 2.0 patch, but most of them haven't bothered me too much. Just started Phantom Liberty and it is sooooo sick.
That "distorted effect" thing was suuuuuch a pain. It took me a good few missions before it occurred to me that it was a bug. Thankfully some random reddit thread had the fix via the Brenden mission (no joke) lol
Wow, was not expecting that! So, perhaps it's a product that will do really well in markets other than Western? I love Playstation, but I absolutely do not get the appeal of this device.
Do people play actual games on their iPhones…? Not Angry Birds etc but like, classic style video games? It does not seem like it would be fun to play on a phone compared to a TV.
It’s honestly wild for them to try to sell this, at this price. But, a company as big as Rockstar most likely has data supporting that some poor fools WILL fork over $50, which is even sadder.
Microsoft, overall, seems incapable of actually nurturing studios. The only thing they really have going for them is their massive, massive, bank account.
What a great month! I love it when they put up a game on PS+ that has a sequel incoming. That being said, I LOVED Alan Wake's story and environment, but really, really did not dig the combat. I'm hoping that's something they improved on for the sequel.

Looks super solid! Although I could not care less about Avatar, so probably won't be picking it up Haha
Re: Fortnite's Original, Iconic Map Will Return Later This Week on PS5, PS4
Genuinely miss playing this on my iPhone!
Re: Get Alan Wake 2 Ready with Alan Wake: Flashback, Created in Fortnite
I...ah...what? Not sure how much overlap those two audiences have lol
Re: PS5, PS4 Players Will 'Remain Welcome' As Xbox Closes $69 Billion Activision Blizzard Buyout
I would hope, and assume, that Xbox pitching that all of those games are exclusive to their ecosystem would be counterproductive to them making boatloads of money. Game Pass is not, and will never be, profitable enough to cut the tap off to Playstation and Nintendo players.
Re: 15 PS5, PS4 Games Coming to PS Plus Extra, Premium in October 2023 Update
Definitely excited for Gotham Knights. I just love a Batman story honestly!
Re: The Last of Us 2 PS5 Remaster Seems to Be Real
I would hope that they'll only charge maybe $10 - $20 for the upgrade. To charge full price for a game that still holds up so, so well, would be honestly insane.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077's Sequel Will Be Spearheaded by the Team Behind Phantom Liberty and Update 2.0
1. I would love to see more verticality. Maybe missions where you scale the side of a building using dope futuristic tech.
2. I wouldn’t mind if they pulled a RDR2 and the second game was before this timeline.
3. Maybe in another country entirely would be cool.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 2.01 Out Now on PS5, Addresses PS5 Save Corruption, Improves Performance, and More
I've definitely had far, faaaaar more bugs with the 2.0 patch, but most of them haven't bothered me too much. Just started Phantom Liberty and it is sooooo sick.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 2.01 Expected to Drop Tomorrow, Addressing PS5 Save Corruption and More

Re: Demand for PlayStation Portal Sky High in Japan, Pre-Orders Reportedly Sold Out
Wow, was not expecting that! So, perhaps it's a product that will do really well in markets other than Western? I love Playstation, but I absolutely do not get the appeal of this device.
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Cinematic Teaches Us to Be Greater Together
Man oh MAN am I excited for this game.
As far as "who" Venom is in this Universe, my thoughts are either Kraven to make the transformation. Or, perhaps, Harry Osborn.
Re: Where to Pre-Order PlayStation Portal
I would love to understand the decision that led them to making this.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty?
Started a fresh play through per the devs recommendation and I am looooving ittttt. Corpo this time!
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.0?
Started my new play through last night!
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Mortal Kombat 1?
I love the series, but am AWFUL at fighting games. So I don't tend to play them, MK included. Hahaha
Re: If It Wasn't Obvious, The Elder Scrolls 6 Will Skip PlayStation
Not fussed! Another reason for me to buy a Series X at the end of that life cycle.
Re: Poor Immortals of Aveum Sales Leads to Significant Lay-Offs
And yet, the founder and CEO Bret Robbins gets to keep his job. Such a backwards world we live in.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Gigantic 2.0 Update Out 21st September, Five Days Before Phantom Liberty
Was really hoping this would be a “available right now” thing Haha So stoked!
Re: State of Play Livestream Revealed for Thursday, a Focus on Indie and Third-Party Games
Tomorrow is staaaaacked!!!!
Re: Death Stranding, the PS5, PS4 Game, Is Coming Natively to iPhone 15 Pro
Do people play actual games on their iPhones…? Not Angry Birds etc but like, classic style video games? It does not seem like it would be fun to play on a phone compared to a TV.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 2.0, Phantom Liberty Stream Set for Thursday
Hoping the surprise is that 2.0 releases that day!
Re: Sifu's Superb Support Ends as Final Update Arrives on PS5, PS4
Honestly, I might use cheats to finally beat this game. Sifu and Sekiro are the only games I’ve ever given up on for being to hard lol
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 Update Clarified as CDPR Lists Patch vs. Phantom Liberty Changes
So, so stoked for this! Probably going to start a fresh play through once 2.0 drops.
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Could Be Close to 100GB in Size
Sounds good! Can not wait.
Re: Poll: Are You Sold on PlayStation Portal?
I just don’t see a market for this.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 Update Will Launch 'a Little Bit Before' Phantom Liberty, Says a Cheeky CDPR
Super, super stoked about 2.0. Might even start a brand new play through with it!
Re: Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon (PS5) - Great Mecha Action at Times Feels Stunted
Glad I did not buy this.
Re: Most PlayStation Fans Dead Against Buying Red Dead Redemption PS4 Port at Launch
I’m just…not a fan of lighting my money on fire lol
It’s such a joke. An absolutely stupid and disconnected decision on Rockstars end.
Re: Red Dead Redemption PS4 Announcement Gets Slaughtered by Fans
It’s honestly wild for them to try to sell this, at this price. But, a company as big as Rockstar most likely has data supporting that some poor fools WILL fork over $50, which is even sadder.
Re: Resident Evil 2 PS5, PS4 Remake Is Now the Series' Best-Selling Game
It was the first Resident Evil game I ever played! It’s sooo good.
Re: New Armored Core 6 Trailer Puts Plot Ahead of Bullets and Missiles
I do not care about mech stuff, but I love FromSoft games. So…I am torn.
Re: Gran Turismo Movie Had to Look and Feel Real, According to Director
Genuinely can’t believe such a bad idea was given the go ahead. Sony’s movie division sure makes some goooooofy choices.
Re: Microsoft Planned to Conquer Japan with Square Enix Buyout, Eye-Opening Documents Reveal
Microsoft, overall, seems incapable of actually nurturing studios. The only thing they really have going for them is their massive, massive, bank account.
Re: New Korean Rating for Red Dead Redemption Has Fans Hoping for a Remaster
Echoing most of the other comments - would love a RDR2 PS5 port, but would also be stoked to play the first, as I've not played it before.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for July 2023 Leaked Early
What a great month! I love it when they put up a game on PS+ that has a sequel incoming. That being said, I LOVED Alan Wake's story and environment, but really, really did not dig the combat. I'm hoping that's something they improved on for the sequel.
Re: Rumour: Bungie Wants Marathon on PS5 to Be the Ultimate Live Service Game
Ugh. I just want a dope alien shooter like the originals.
Re: No Plans for a Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PS5 Demo, Says Insomniac
No demo needed to be sold on this lol
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Finally Has a Release Date on PS5
Day before my birthday 🥰
Re: What the Hell Is Going on with The Last of Us Factions, Naughty Dog's Standalone PS5 Multiplayer Game?
I still have hopes for a Last of Us 2 PS5 upgrade. 🙏🏻
Re: Bungie Is Bringing Back Marathon on PS5, PC
I kid you not, when this trailer started there was something about it that I thought “surely this can not be Marathon…”
Disappointed it’s not closer to the alien shooter from the old days, but I’m sure Bungie will make it fun still.
Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Announced for PS5, Out 19th September
Oh my goodness. Let’s gooooo!!!
Re: Soapbox: PS Plus Might Be Gaming's Best Subscription Service Now
It’s improved a lot, but GamePass is still the better overall value. If Xbox actually made AAA games that were bangers we’d be screwed Haha
Re: Suicide Squad PS5 Game Delay Now Official, Out in February 2024
What a mess lol
Re: Clouds Are One Reason Why Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores Is PS5 Only
Sounds good to me Haha So stoked to dive in.
Re: You Must Beat Horizon Forbidden West to Play PS5 DLC Burning Shores
I am so excited about this! I loved HFW. Can’t wait to dive back in.
Re: Horizon Forbidden West's Big PS5 Burning Shores Expansion Won't Break the Bank
Pre-ordered on the spot! So stoked.
Re: Talking Point: Is 2024 Too Soon for PS5 Pro?
I very much don't think there will be a PS5 Pro. There's not a strong enough value proposition. A PS5 Slim, for sure, but not a pro.
Re: Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores Is Out Soon on PS5, and We've Seen Next to Nothing
Dude! I’ve been thinking the same thing. Not even a pre-order is up yet on PSN.
Re: Hitman Dev Confirms Online Fantasy RPG, But No Mention of PS5
Fantasy RPG = yaaaay
Online = nooooo
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced During Sony's State of Play Livestream for February 2023?
All in all, great show, but boy oh boy do I feel bad for the Rocksteady team.
