Sony should consider dropping ps+ paywall for live service games and get on par with PC in that matter. PS+ is becoming a serious setback for this kind of games.
As all manufacturing is going to Asia so is video game development. It was inevitable. The westerns started a lot of time bombs lately to feed the ultra rich again again.
Microsoft isn't good with hardware. They should stick to software. They managed to even botch mice and keyboards, from top manufacturer to collecting scraps.
Sad times but no business in America is safe anymore. The race to print money or burn is brutal. I see Sony heavily investing in Korean/ China studios now on.
General population is struggling with their finances. Nobody needs to buy again the same promise for 4k ray tracing games. If sony wants to postpone the ps6 release is a wise move cause they have all the metrics and the analytics to back this decision. They are also making more money selling older hardware.
@underthegun No worries. videogames is still a form of art and passion projects. I can't stand anyone giving this kind of ***** to devs and artists. As an artist myself i will always defend the artist not the critic. It's just me.
The tech is moving forward software solutions than pure horsepower. I can see the ps5/ps5 pro get a lot of mileage with better image reconstruction, frame doubling etc.
I see a bigger pattern here. Gamers in general are becoming fed up by American developers. They just sell products without any soul. I'm taking about the big ones. AI obsessed. Earning reports after earning reports. Massive layoffs.
One of the first games i played on my ps5 that showed the console's teeth compared to previous gen. I traded my hardcopy for Ragnarok after completing it but i would like to revisit the game with all the DLC.
The complexity of lore, events, dlc's and mechanics could be teached at universities. It's a shame cause the gameplay is great but the game in not welcoming new or returning players. It's chaotic.
Sony had a rough start with the pandemic but now the ps5 is in a great spot. PC parts are becoming really expensive and the value behind a ps5 base or pro is insane. I expect massive black friday and Christmas sales.
People here forget a lot of things that made playstation a giant. A common issue is that you need service points and Sony has them even in very small countries.

Re: Major Crimson Desert Patch Out Now on PS5, Makes Countless Gameplay Improvements
Anyone see image improvements for the base PS5? I always do balanced mode with VRR as my tv supports it.

Re: PS5 Pricing Strategy Gives Flexibility for Deals if 'Things Surprisingly Get Better'
Very happy using my 5 year old phone and my og ps5. Those tech companies won't see any money from me any time soon.
Re: Sony Announces Gigantic PS5 Price Increases, Effective from April 2026
I would recommend people to try some board games. Like settlers of Catan. You can have a lot of fun, is way cheaper and a great way to socialise.

Re: Crimson Desert Looks 'Rough' on Base PS5, Here's 25 Minutes of Direct Capture Footage
@Littlebigmatador The media is mostly controlled by Americans that are fed up by Eastern studios taking the gaming spotlight nonstop the latest years.
Re: 'A Great Showcase for PSSR 2': PS5 Pro's New Upscaler Continues to Get Rave Reviews
@Reeneman I see no conspiracy just AMD's incompetence to improve. I guess they are chasing the AI bubble as well.
Re: 'A Great Showcase for PSSR 2': PS5 Pro's New Upscaler Continues to Get Rave Reviews
My question is why the base ps5 is left behind. It supports AMD's upscaling tech that nonone tries to improve.

Re: Sony Apparently Pulls the Plug on PC Ports of Saros, Ghost of Yotei
Kudos to Sony. They don't need to bring any value to valve, steam, microsoft or any American company.
Re: Video: Silence as PSVR2 Turns Three Years Old - Is Sony's PS5 Headset Dead?
I dare to say that VR for gaming in general isn't cool enough.
Re: 'The Plan's the Plan Until It's Not the Plan': Xbox All Over the Place on Future PS5 Ports
@Boxmonkey That is also true! They were just the first to capitalize from scam tactics in the software department.
Re: 'The Plan's the Plan Until It's Not the Plan': Xbox All Over the Place on Future PS5 Ports

Re: Sony Goes Silent on Social Media as Fans Turn Feral Following Bluepoint Closure
@KawakiisaFraud Very true. Asian and European developers are hot right now. Hit after hit. Even ubisoft managed to turn the tide.
Re: Sony Goes Silent on Social Media as Fans Turn Feral Following Bluepoint Closure
How many copies demon souls sold? Is there an estimate?

Sad times but no business in America is safe anymore. The race to print money or burn is brutal. I see Sony heavily investing in Korean/ China studios now on.
Re: Sony Will Offset Soaring RAM Prices by Further Monetising PS5 Players
Why don't you make your own RAM chips as a huge company you are? Asking for a friend.
Re: Sony Will Offset Soaring RAM Prices by Further Monetising PS5 Players
PS+ essential hasn't had any discounts for a long time. It's the first time in years i haven't renewed my sub.
Re: Opinion: The Euphoric Reaction to PS6's Rumoured Delay Really Confuses Me
General population is struggling with their finances. Nobody needs to buy again the same promise for 4k ray tracing games. If sony wants to postpone the ps6 release is a wise move cause they have all the metrics and the analytics to back this decision.
They are also making more money selling older hardware.

@underthegun Literally every comment on this article is against that guy so back off from me or report the article all together.

@underthegun Nothing pointless exposing youtubers as the hacks they are.

Re: Japanese PS5 Sales Continue to Improve Following Launch of Cheaper Model
@SMJ For Sony isn't anymore. That's why they try to crack China and India to expand the market.
Re: Japanese PS5 Sales Continue to Improve Following Launch of Cheaper Model
Good thing is that Japan is only a fraction of the console worldwide market. PS5 is doing great in general almost everywhere.
Re: Control Resonant Not a 'Safe Sequel', Remedy Aiming to 'Push the Boundaries'

Re: A Month After PS5 Performance Update, The Division: Definitive Edition Leaks
The 60 fps is a welcome change but the image quality is still stuck to ps4 era. Still a nice game, maybe a bit formulaic to today's standards.

I need to save on ps+ . I refuse to pay full price.
Re: 2016's The Division Now Runs Smoother Than Ever on PS5
I don't know why this game appears in my library. Maybe it was a trial run or a demo? Never bought it.
Re: 2016's The Division Now Runs Smoother Than Ever on PS5
I'll give it a try. Maybe snatch a cheap retail copy.
Re: 'The Franchise Has Not Met Your Expectations': Call of Duty Vows to Overdeliver After Black Ops 7 Misfire
@LifeGirl As a Greek and European citizen i can safely say that American goverments are the epitome of evil and a worldwide threat.
Re: 'The Franchise Has Not Met Your Expectations': Call of Duty Vows to Overdeliver After Black Ops 7 Misfire
I see a bigger pattern here. Gamers in general are becoming fed up by American developers. They just sell products without any soul. I'm taking about the big ones. AI obsessed. Earning reports after earning reports. Massive layoffs.
Re: Japanese PS5 Sales Slump as New Model Hype Begins to Die Off
The only thing that could work with Sony and japan is to bundle the ps portal with the console.
Re: Red Dead Redemption PS5 Another Subpar Re-Release from Rockstar
Never played those games. Maybe it's time to try them and buy the whole bundle hoping that rdr2 will get at least 60fps support some day.
Re: Red Dead Redemption 1's Free PS5 Upgrade Is Available to Download Now, Included with PS Plus Extra
Price was upgraded as well. Unfortunately. Retail copies can be found cheaper luckily.
