@gigiard babylon fall was doomed to fail when it kept getting pushed back with delays to being a ps4 game to being a ps5 game. it had promise but never lived up to any of it.
lets worry about all the great games coming out for the rest of the year then a console that hasn't even been announced yet , i get every ones excited to talk about how much they hate or love the idea ps6 , but it hasn't even been announced yet even though we all know its coming and sony has tip toed around their next console ideas.
@Member_the_game i think they've explained this multiple times but they have a lot of readers from the states as well, which is why they use dollars as well.
@RudeAnimat0r i hate to be that guy but spending 600 dollars on the ps3 back then is the same as spending about 950 to 1,000 dollars in 2026 , and yes we are getting old to where we are starting to say these things.
@Bigumamiflavor by no means i ment no ill will , and if it came off like that i apologize , my point in my rambling , is that a lot of times , just like many other times in life we look back at certain times differently remembering they were better then they actually were if that makes any sense. each era had their own struggles , and this was no different , imo sony has been able to navigate past the struggles and still had a pretty decent console , and honestly playing on the pro has kind of brought back me to enjoying gaming again.
@PuppetMaster i feel like Housemarque is safe , they've made the more successful games , if anything they are expanding and growing bigger and bigger each game. lets face it some studios have struggled to be at the level sony is expecting them to preform at with the budget they are asking for.
@Vaako007 i also feel like a lot of people who grew up playing video games still play them , but their parents had the income to buy them these things, but now these people are the parents and lets face its , things aren't as easy as they expected them to be , but they still want to play video games. and well video games has always been a pretty expensive hobby it was always a luxury hobby. i mean i'm sure you saw the article how expensive major games cost , and thats the type of games people want and expect but they don't want to pay for them.
@Bigumamiflavor its almost like they released a console during a pandemic or something , also people keep mentioning ps3's first party exclusives , you mean the ones that no one bought? games like resistance and killzone struggled to sell 1 million copies, the only success series had was uncharted and last of us.
i think people need to relax , 1) the ps6 isn't even a thing yet , and 2) no one actually knows when its coming. 99.99% of people are just guessing or assuming they know. so this is all hypothetical , till anything is actually announced.
@Americansamurai1 I’m guessing you haven’t seen pc prices as of late , alot of videos out there , you would need at least a 2,000 pc to get similar results as the ps5 pro. But pc prices are insane now
@Faultandfracture I hate to tell you unless prices start to go down , which are only increasing by the day , idk how a 500 pc is even possible when the ram alone will cost 300-600 alone
@KoopaTheGamer I mean parents clearly over paid for ps5’s from scalpers upwards of 1,000 dollars just to get their kids a ps5. So I don’t think that would stop them.
@Droopy i would take all of that with a grain of salt , until sony officially says anything about the ps6 , i wouldn't take it more then opinion pieces.
@Gabrielmpf if that was the case why didn't they raise the price months ago ? didn't you notice every piece of tech with ram has gone up in price? sony had bought ram before the price hike which helped the prices stay down for a while , but they are clearly running low , so either they stop making consoles or the price goes up.
@Gabrielmpf please explain your theory to the class , what does a monopoly have to do with the rising cost of parts? and sony has been able to keep costs down till now but the base ps5 is same exact cost of a xbox series x now.
@knight_spg i feel like they'll gloss over what we say , and ignore it and still not understand , the fact that sony has been able to hold off this long is a plus , but once that stock ran out , the new ones had to be increased to off set those costs.
@Fritz167 i'm guessing however many they made they are still selling and prob won't make any more , i'm guessing if they did go back to produce more it would go up in price.
@Bamila i have bad news , but everything in tech is going to be increasing in price , in fact the ps5 was the last console to increase in price as the base ps5 will cost the same as a xbox series x again. you do understand that the hardware prices are going up for everything right?
@user0 when prices would decrease that would be in part that the parts inside where cheaper to buy , but in this case the parts are more expensive. its either the price of the consoles go up or they stop making consoles
@TrollOfWar i love the ps3 , i still play it , but people acting like the ps3 was great while calling the ps5 the worst console is kind of crazy , when the ps3 almost killed the sony console since it was difficult to develop games for.
@Chosen-Libra honestly i was kind of considering upgrading my pc which is a 3060 with 32gb of ram , which is still pretty decent in 2026 , but after playing my pro with the updates honestly i'd rather just stick with playing on the pro then upgrading just yet , maybe i'll change my mind in the future.
@Foxhound its always been expensive lol , which is why video games have always been considered as a luxury hobby. if you count for inflation gaming hasn't gone up that much , n64 games back then were 70-80$ a game , which would translate to 145-160$ a game in 2026
@PuppetMaster i feel like they are safe , as they are releasing high quality games , and the keyword is they are releasing them , while certain studios have put years into their projects with nothing to show for it.
@Nicekix the article says that dark outlaw games weren’t working on a live service game though , twisted metal would have been cool but I’m pretty sure it was never an offical game , I’m gusssing that the Spider-Man thing was from the leaks because that was never an actual thing as cool as it would have been. But you do ignore the fact that Sonys more popular live service game would actually be gt7? I was excited for last of us though so that’s one I can agree on. I can imagine the marvel fighting game being successful though.
@Nicekix what makes those games promising when no one saw them? sony clearly saw the progress or lack of progress of certain games , along with the quality.
i mean honestly if it was as good as they think it was it would have been made , sony clearly saw the product and thought " no one will buy this " and benched it.
@LogicStrikesAgain honestly i think thats what intergalatic is , and when they see the game play i think a lot of people will say this , both games involve space and bounty hunting. i wouldn't be surprised if you'll see jax and daxter refreneces / easter eggs in the game
@EbolaGW its obvious you are trolling from the xbox comment ( in which i also have a series x btw). so i'm not going to feed into this , maybe you'll find some one that will , cheers.
@MrHabushi maybe 1 person is using it for that way lol , but no ones using it to save energy , its ment to make a game run better on a portable console.
@EbolaGW i couldn't disagree with you more , it feels like the majority of people actually do as well with the ps5 being one of their more successful consoles , there feels to be a lot of hype behind the pssr tech , with big games coming up this year, i feel like gta 6 is going to be a huge seller for the console , along with their program that has been helping out studios to create their games , we still have phantom blade zero coming as well.
@SuntannedDuck2 i hate to tell you this but the turn over rate for tech industry is really high , which is why a lot of behind the scenes workers bounce around to many different studios. its clear the studio wasn't progressing , why keep investing in a project that is doomed to fail?
This might not be a popular opinion clearly , but i think Hulst has done a pretty good job with ps5 seeing how its been one of the most difficult era's in video games. They navigated around releasing a console during a pandemic while having to deal with stock issues , to the increasing cost of parts , which they've been able to get past for the most part with out having to increase the console's price as much as say ms had to raise the cost of xbox. the irony is i'm pretty sure this studio was created to make live service games and from reading the comments a lot of people who dislike live service games are complaining about the shut down , am i wrong?
@Mes_Urson clearly they looked at the lack of progress the studio was making and how it was turning out and didn't want to invest any more time or money into something that would have been a failure imo.
@Dog_Biscuits i get the hate for re6 but its still one of the better selling resident evil games. i liked certain aspects and parts of the game and the fact that it was the first game that brought leon and chris in the same story , and was a return to zombies in leons part, if i had to remake it though i'd make it all into one game that would swap back and forth between characters and you progress the story like re9 , ditch the qte events as well.
@Smackosynthesis the problem is there is no winning either you announce the game a few months later its out , or you announce it earlier and its years away , but at least you know its coming , but both situations make people complain " where are the games " and " why do we have to wait so long for the game to come out".
people keep bringing up the remake of re3 forgetting that re3 was always one of the shorter games in the series. i'm glad they remade it , but games were much shorter back then compared to now , i'm just glad it wasn't forgotten about. i keep hearing that the code veronica remake should be their best one yet though , so i'm pretty excited to see how it will turn out , its crazy to think of it being 30 years though , but i recall seeing the first game in action , and it was just crazy to see how advanced it was compared to other games in its day. excited for the future , sounds like we are getting code veronica , zero , and 1? being remade along with re:X
@Mythologue it will be little things like fps , tracing , those little details that can make a game feel alive , having more interaction and more stuff going on in the game around you
