Then why/how did Marvel take Spiderman games away from Activision and offer them to Xbox and PlayStation?

@themightyant
Well said. I was one of those crapping on this game at every opportunity, purely because I was so disappointed with what it turned out to be.

But Rocksteady are very talented. And I honestly think if anybody could get me to enjoy this type of game, it's them. So I'll give this a chance.

I didn't buy the PS4 until Batman Arkham Knight came out in 2015. I really love that game. Bat tank and all.

After that, it was Uncharted 4 and God of War (for which I got the Pro). There's not enough words in the world to describe how incredible those two are.

A couple of days ago my go-to punchline would've been that we'll still play this before GTA 6.

But now? I'm all out of material. How sad.

Lol this is such a hipster site. Judging by the comments, you'd think nobody likes GTA, Fortnite, Call of Duty, FIFA etc.

Anywhoo, Rockstar have to deal with probably the highest expectations of any game developer in the history of this industry. I hope they're ready.

@Americansamurai1

Of course, I love Ragnarok. But you had about 130 million PS4 + PS5 owners potentially buying it.

Spider-Man 2 has an install base of 90 million fewer on PS5 only, but is selling faster. That's what's so impressive.

Impressive considering it's PS5 only, unlike Ragnarok.

I'll also add that this is the PS5 gaming experience that I've waited 3 years for.
This is so far ahead of SM1 on PS4 that it's not even funny. Insomniac have delivered.

Incredible. I'd really like to see the difference between the vanilla PS4 version and Spider-Man 2, too.

The only thing ridiculous about that schedule is that I'm not interested in any of it. Smh

@NinjaNicky
Very bad take. The blame does NOT fall with the gamer who doesn't want to accidentally have a games story spoiled BEFORE it's even been released.
Spoilers are wrong and people who spoil are wrong. That's why it's so aptly named.

Pointless. Utterly, utterly pointless.

But I will be there.

👀👀👀 This is a game changer!

If they can find a way to get the games running on their new expensive headset thingy... They might be on to something

Nah. I'll wait until they pay me £4.49 to play it.

@rjejr
Nah, dude. They split them out in summer 2022

@AdamNovice
Oh of course. How can i forget the PS3 games that we cannot download!

Lol. Imagine paying $160 for one hour game trials.
This is mental

@ShogunRok
The irony is not lost on me 😅

Blame the writers for turning my favourite character in 2018 to my least favourite in Ragnarok!

Atreus will be the main character, or perhaps maybe Faye.

I will not be there

@PegasusActual93
My point is, if the game has a solid frame frame 95% of the time, how is that such a bad thing to be called out as a con?

I see it as a positive considering the fact that most games these days perform much worse than this.

The review states that the game sticks to it's 60fps target '95% of the time'.

So why is there a con at the end of the review saying 'frame rate struggles occasionally'?

Bit of a contradiction, no?

@ShogunRok
Yeah I read the article.

I also read the Heading.

"Most PlayStation Fans..." on Push Square.

It will still sell great. But boy do I hope I'm wrong.

I'll get it, but not for a penny over £15.00

If one of the two re-releases is GTA 4, I will actually cry actual tears.

Just got this on the deal last week. Performance mode runs at 37fps and it's crashed for me twice already. Seriously cannot believe Push Square said it had 'minor issues' in its review.

@TripleKing333
What a tragedy. Perhaps I'll go for a walk, or ya know, play something else.

I mean, my broadband router is on 24/7 and my PS5 is always connected to it.

But hey let me moan and complain for the hell of it, right?

How much better can it get? It runs at 1440p
with a solid 60fps on PS5, and looks/plays better than 90% of current gen games.

I'm intrigued.

I can't even begin to imagine what ND are capable of with a game built for PS5. Let them cook

GTA IV while you're at it too. Cheers lads

Just finished A Plague Tale after getting it a couple of sales ago.
I wouldn't call it underrated but it doesn't fully get the praise and accolades it deserves. Well worth the money

To put it more "constructively"

I'm surprised this tweet has spawned an entire article, for the reasons mentioned by the author.

Had premium for a while but only so that I could stream God of War 1 and 2 before Ragnarok released.
I then let it expire before joining back into Extra on the discount last week. Premium has absolutely nothing else to offer me....unless Future Cop LAPD shows up 🤩

How about discounting the PS5 version of part 1 below £52.49 as a gift 🙃

Mission accomplished. I let my Premium sub end in April so I could rejoin Extra when a deal was on.

So let me get this straight.

Naughty Dog created a fun and well received multiplayer game. Some years later, they started making a sequel to that game.
Bungie came in because Sony wants GaaS to rule and then Bungie told ND that the sequel multiplayer game they are making won't keep gamers engaged and consequently spending money for long enough, so the whole thing is more or less cancelled for now.

Wow.

I feel very... whelmed.

When the best thing about the show was a remaster of a PS3 game, you realise that there's a big problem with "what's next" for gaming.

Sony absolutely did not deliver here.

Erm, they actually DO comment on rumours, proof below:

https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2023/03/cyberpunk-2077s-working-metro-system-rumour-shot-down-as-fans-await-the-big-update

I guess that makes this rumour even more likely to be true

Horizon Zero Dawn won the last one...must have been an incredible time to be alive

Atreus solo game. Playing the NG+ and taking my time with it made me realise how heavily they allude to it. Not to mention the Tyr actor saying we'll be seeing more of him a couple months ago.
He's off to find the Giants!

I can't lie, I am seriously considering buying a Switch, having never played a Zelda in my life or ever owned a Nintendo
The hype is getting to me 😅

"Make sure Arsenal win the Premier League..."

I will love it. And I think I deserve it.

@trev666
Batman Arkham Knight

Batman Arkham Knight made the top 20 in both regions. Did I miss something recently?

Anyway, what will it take to get a 60fps version on PS5? I am prepared to beg.

Could this be a symptom of the success of the PS4?
The user base is so high and therefore releasing games for it is still so lucrative.

I don't remember the same thing happening with the PS3, and it sold far less than PS4

@B-I-G-DEVIL
You've forgotten Cory Barlog and his "when it's ready" tweet responses. Also the Santa Monica devs getting abused due to lack of footage/news.
There was loads of frustration

@B-I-G-DEVIL
Frustration seems to be good for business then.
They did the exact same tactic this time last year with Ragnarok and its still selling well. PS5 sales ain't doing too badly neither.

Question: other than the final boss fight and the visuals: is there anything else about this that justifies the PS5 exclusivity?

The pop-in that's been mentioned sounds disappointing, and I really hope they sped up the flight speed too.
