@Odium i don't mind longer games , but 10-20 hr games still take me forever to beat as it is lol. not to mention a lot of games add in stuff that is just filler and unforgettable just to tack on hours to a game to tell people it has 30+hrs of game play.
@Grackler i liked bluepoint but what exactly did they do that people are going on weeks after? i'm sorry but its time people moved on. sony clearly saw things we haven't , and evaluated business moves that they had to shut it down.
@shiny-enzo i feel like people that don't understand those aspects should just enjoy playing games , but studios have shut down , people get laid off, this isn't something sony created , epic and Microsoft have shut down much more and laid off many more people.
@RatmCky wow such amazing answer/response just a face , i guess you couldn't actually think of an answer with that one. also if you had purchased the digital version before it was pulled you still own it and can play it , which clearly you gloss over because it doesn't fit your narrative you were getting at. It being pulled from the store doesn't make it unplayable.
@PacPern123 at this stage its not having talent or lack of talent , but direction of the studios , budgets , and many other reasons behind the scenes we don't see why studios close down. they just can't keep studios open because people think they are talented , thats not really how the real world works.
@premko1 when sony sells less then 10 million consoles that would be sega level lol, sony isn't even near that level , in fact the ps5 is their most profitable console they ever made.
@Snick27 the base ps5 is the same price as the series x , i highly doubt the majority of people would still buy a ps5 , a lot of them spent way more on ebay at the launch of the ps5.
@IMustardMitt i hate to tell you this but by the time the ps6 comes out it will actually be longer then the time period between ps3 to ps4 as well as ps4 to ps5. video game consoles is one of the few things that have upgrades every 7-8 years so i wouldn't consider that as " ridiculously early "
I already saw rumors swirling that nd could have 3 games ( 1 obviously intergalactic and 2 unannounced ) obviously all rumors should be taken with a grain of salt but I believe they had confirmed there was at least 1 other game they were working on )
@LifeGirl in terms of how it will effect price , i would say if they keep improving pssr , it will actually keep costs down as they won't have to invest as much hardware wise as software can help offset thoses costs while still enabling performance greater then what the hardware is capable of .
it will outsell the ps4 alone ridding off of gta6. also people keep talking about the price over and over , forgetting that people were more then willing to spend way more money to scalpers at launch to get their hands on a ps5, i don't think people care as much as a small % think , if it goes well im sure you'll see a decent holiday sale , and with the price increase any time there is a discount , i'm sure that will increase sales.
@Yor-sama if its anything like i've imagined it being , i would think its more of a successor to the jax and daxter series , possibly taking ideas from the 4th game they were toying around with.
@get2sammyb i don't understand this page sometimes , wasn't it this page that confirmed naughty dog was working on a 2nd game along with intergalactic ? unless the last sentence just ment that only 1 of them is announced at the time.
@Nightcrawler71 people keep saying that , but weren't people over paying for it at launch just to have one? honestly i don't see it slowing down any time soon with gta 6 coming out ( assuming it actually comes out).
@UnlimitedSevens i don't understand why the ps4/ps5 cross period upset any one , its not any different then gpu's in a pc , a older gpu can play a game , but obviously the new stuff will always play the game better. i mean if you really had to pick between playing the ps4 version or the ps5 version the ps5 version will clearly be better. as for the handheld if the rumors are right , which you should always take with a grain of salt, then this would be able to play im guessing the same games the ps6 can. which means ps4 and ps5 games including ps6 games. which is why they have added low power modes in games for the handheld. just imagine being able to play say resident evil , then you can jump back in on the handheld play and then jump back on the console later on.
@HRdepartment i know u are joking but i have so many hdmi and power cords , in fact thats the one thing sony hasn't changed on any of their consoles is they use the same exact power cable on every single console they've had, when i switched out my consoles on my tv i just unplugged it and used the same cord lol.
@LowDefAl i feel the way some people talk about the ps5 is how people talked about the ps3 back then except numbers wise the ps5 has been way more successful then the ps3 , and that the ps3 actually sold very poorly in software and it wasn't till the back end of its life that it was able to sell more hardware but it struggled its first couple of years to even get to that point, as much as i loved the ps3 back then , it was also the console that almost killed the sony console brand, and people seem to either forget that or gloss over it.
@Nepp67 if they were moving away from psychical games they would just simply stop making them. also that cost of the disc drive would be built into the price of the console , so either way you are either paying it to be in the console or you have the choice to even have it at all. in fact if its 80$ they probably would make it 100$ more expensive with it. Even with the disc you still need to download updates, and data anyways , so just having the disc doesn't even mean much as it used to.
@Nepp67 not really a detachable disc drive would benefit people who still buy physical , whats the first part that normally breaks? its the disc drive , would you rather send your whole console in to get fixed or just swap out the disc drive?
honestly to make every one happy an interesting concept would be to have 2 maybe 3 if possible , but idk how possible it would be to have 3 hard drive slots , but like the ps5/ps5pro have hard drive slots , and have ps6 consoles with out a hard with only built in memory for the os , and then the hard drive slots to play games off of , meaning its up to the buyer in how much storage they are willing to pay for. also i love the idea of the detachable disc drive as it makes it way easier for people to just fix their own consoles vs sending the entire thing out to have the disc drive fixed.
@AnginaPectoris i'm sure there will still be plenty of tv's for sale , they make more then what they sell , i bought a a90k tv this year and its pretty amazing. i said it in another post i'm sure they'll keep the higher end bravia tv's since they do well and sony still has some say as they are part owners , but i'm sure you'll see some lower tier and mid tier price tv's in their line up as well.
@Atreus97 we just have more instant access to news now then ever , but honestly people being laid off and studios closing has always been a thing in the tech industry , this isn't new.
the irony we all are missing is the fact that people spent over 1,000 dollars at launch to buy from resellers just for the base console, not to mention but sony has held off this long while everything else went up in price, but we all knew it was going to last forever.
@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
