@AndyKazama Was thinking that myself.

@ATaco Couldn't argue with that.

@DNortonX Microsoft will make a lot of money but there doing it at the expense of their platform. Xbox consoles are tanking, GP subs have stagnated and the fanbase is disillusioned.

PS2 games been added gives me hope that we'll get some classics coming.

Hopefully the game doesn't get brought down by it's business model cos the devs clearly brought a lot of love to the game, plus they have a near endless supply of characters they can bring in. Freakazoid would be my number 1 choice.

For me, spending stars points on individual games is never worth it. I always prefer to save for the £20 wallet top up cos then at least I can use it for any game.

@AKAslickdaddy40 Do they call you "Stretch Armstrong?" Because you aren't half reaching.
My point was that people aren't interested in hyperbole buzzwords, that means nothing. If he really believes in that then just let the game do the talking.

With respect to him, show...don't tell.

So a visual showcase that's 6 hours long, minimal gameplay and black bars? I didn't know the The Order: 1886 got a sequel?

What timeline are we in where a game has Jason Voorhees fighting Bugs Bunny? Lol

@GymratAmarillo I suspect the new faction will get announced at a showcase or SoP.

@UltimateOtaku91 FC24 has a huge casual audience that probably don't buy Plus for the games. Not to mention that it was the end of the Premier League season so that would have spiked sales.

At least now I don't have to buy any of the fighter passes to get the songs, cos for me they were the only thing of worth to me.
I don't mind the music for 6, it fits the hip hop summer vibe that the game's going for but that SF2 soundtrack is iconic for a reason.

@0niguy Very much doubt it, Shift Up are worth a hell of a lot of money, recent reports mentioned around $2.3 Billion, plus Tencent have already invested in them. I can see Sony buying minority shares to keep the partnership going though. And with Sony as a company looking to buy Paramount, PlayStation will to be a lot choosier about who they buy now.

@Northern_munkey That's a problem I have with FromSoft's storytelling...they never give definitive answers to most of it, it's left to interpretation for YouTubers to analysis over.

I would love a Raven prequel DLC... won't say anymore cos of spoilers.

Shame, was hoping on it been Mad Max themed.

@AK4tywill Which sadly that's what happened with Starship troopers. The satire was so in your face and many still couldn't see the wood for the trees.

If your going to close studios, at least have decency to own up to it.

Sony are obviously looking at making some games for a younger demographic but sadly games like Sackboy a big adventure didn't sell and Astro's Playroom, while free has a very low completion percentage judging by the trophies which makes me worried that a full game will just not sell.
So the best bet for Sony is take one of their biggest IPs and pair it with another popular brand...hence Lego.

Hopefully this isn't the start of the showcase's lineup getting spoiled.

@americansamurai1 The remake might come this year, possibly the Lego one if it's a smaller game but the others are years away.

I'd be shocked if more Xbox games weren't deep in development for PlayStation at this point. 343 Industries were already said to have PS5 dev kits so watch this space I guess.

@Godot25 Putting all their games on PC day one is asking for trouble, it hasn't helped Xbox and it won't help PlayStation. Sony just need to get the costs of there games under control.

Really intrigued by this one. Seems like it'll have a Guardians of the Galaxy vibe to it. And hopefully with ex Bungie Devs on the team, they can bring a high quality shooter without Destiny 2's bloat.

To my knowledge, this has never been done before in the industry, a platform holder...having two CEOs. I wonder if Sony looked at the overall business and felt that things needed tightening up a bit. With how many studios they have along with the platform business, I reckon they felt it was too much responsibility for one person to deal with.
It does now make Herman Hulst the definitive face of this era of PlayStation from the company side as I can't imagine Hideaki Nishino will be appearing in various SoPs, interviews and showcases outside of hardware announcements.
I'm also glad that someone like Herman Hulst who has a game development background has such a prominent position within the company.

If Sucker Punch do have a second game in development it will be in all likelihood a standalone GoT Legends game.

"Sony has been happy to feature PC news during its conferences as of late, with Fairgame$, Marathon, and Helldivers 2 all sporting the phrase "coming to PS5 and PC" at the end of their trailers"
I don't mind the live service day and date announcements but I'm not a fan of of Sony potentially wasting air time on a showcase to announce a PC only port...Sony's audience watch those shows expecting to hear only about PS5 releases. Save it for the PS Blog.

Considering how many countries PSN isn't available it seems even more impressive in just how big PlayStation actually is.

Well with the way it's going only AI will be able to make the games.

It sucks when Sony close studios down and it's the same here.

Heard it'll be a live service game too...which to be fair LBP was pretty much like that back in the day.

Imagine a new Parappa game where he disses them both.

You lot never learn do you? Why would Housemarque randomly announce a game or even tease one outside a Sony event. Heck even the teaser yesterday made it look obvious it was a comic book if you actually spent 5 seconds looking at it.

That's great to see...I know it's been a lightning rod for rather strange discourses but nonetheless it's a new IP with a sizable budget behind it so it's good to see it off to a good start.

@CaptD We talking about the same Sony that have published Helldivers, Rise of the Ronin, MLB The Show 24 and just last week Stellar Blade?
VR ports I'd agree with.

VR mode would be immense but I would also love a Returnal spin off that's like Housemarque's old school arcade games. Would make for a good fillet game before their next big one.

Sadly there was no option for "Yes I've got the game but I'm moving house this weekend."

"Geordie accents" where's my Teesside representation?

Hopefully it'll lead to all out war on Cyberstan.

So Cyberpunk's two biggest supporting characters now voice Sonic characters. There's a joke in there about how both Sonic film and Cyberpunk both needed fixing to come good.

I agree it's not needed, this isn't an RPG. Besides the stats aren't that important anyway. Arrowhead have said previously that you just pick what you want. Weapons and Stratagems are more vital.

It's rather sad because Rebirth is by far the best game Square Enix has made arguably since the Squaresoft days. Was really surprised that they were capable of making something as good as Rebirth.

@Bentleyma I doubt it. Development would take a year or two longer to get things up to speed. It's why they decided not to use it for Rebirth.

Here's hoping that media outlets don't spoil what's in Sony's next event unlike the last SoP.

I'm more worried about the almost invisible ships in the sky

@Czar_Khastik Honestly the one monster in Final Fantasy I fear lol.

A master chef returns to the kitchen.

I have a label too Sony and that is "skint"

@ear_wig @KonstantTrouble Ah that's good to know, was going to give it a second go on story mode with the Korean dub so thanks for letting me know.
