@NEStalgia Wasn't it announced in 2015 and not 2014

@Jey887 Playing it just fine on PC. Like the article said it only a Sony issue.

Damn. I’ve been looking for new vr headset cause while I love my index… It’s a lot of work to get into late at night after work. I need quick and simple that I can pop on and off. My choices was between the PSVR2, Quest 2, or Vice focus 2…So this looks like it

@Titntin While that is a possibility. I very much expect Microsoft to clean house after this purchase is through. There is no way Microsoft and Phil aren’t looking at the stuff Bobby and this team has done and not thinking “These people got to go”. If they aren’t, then it massively explains their issue to release games.

@NEStalgia I mean... Amazon has already left Netflix behind. Amazon had already had their hands in multiple big game development, and they are published/publishing Lost Ark and Blue Protocol.

@NEStalgia The thing is that I would expect Netflix to start small with more indie titles. Developing more unique stuff like Oxenfree since they own the studio. But it seems that they are jumping straight into the deep end... These aren't some small no name developers. They are some big names with some pedigree behind them.

Hopefully Netflix knows what they are doing. Game development isn't cheap, and they aren't exactly in a good financial position. Considering that they like to cancel stuff after one season if it aint an instant hit. The price of development has scared off giants like Google.

First Joseph Staten and now him. What is Netflix planning?

@Deoxyr1bose I mean… Capcom and Square Enix aren’t clean either. It simply how the game industry works. All the sins of the past gets swept away the moment you release a good game.

@Tharsman Xbox digital code most likely adhere to the same restriction as physical. Where a minimum number of physical copies needs to be produced in order to have a physical copy. So only the bigger games or games from big publisher are going to have digital codes available.

@Tharsman I saw, but Final Fantasy VII Reunion as an example for Xbox isn’t good. As Final Fantasy sell poor on that system, so they don’t offer many digital codes… Something more mainstream would be a better example. Jedi Survivor which you can buy a digital code for Xbox and not PlayStation.

@Tharsman I know you can buy digital code for Xbox and Switch. I bought my digital copy of Tears of the kingdom through Amazon, and digital copy of Mario kart through humble bundle… I have seen some codes for PlayStation on super gray market site, but never on any site I trust.

@belmont "Seems like Final Fantasy 16 is now the one and only true PS5 exclusive"

You mean console exclusive. Cause that is also coming to PC at some point.

@Green-Bandit I guessing that even tho it a big franchise. It true fan base is still very much on PC, and Sony isn’t see enough engagement from it on their store to make it worth fighting for. Where as something like CoD is a vastly more popular especially for console gamers.

@JB_Whiting There early access

@Northern_munkey And I’m not talking about not season ladder, only about the people playing vanilla hardcore.

@Northern_munkey You clearly don’t get the point…

@Northern_munkey I know it has nothing to do with seasonal ladders… etc. It the fact that people was saying that Blizzard should hold off on the event till season 1 to give everyone fair footing due to the season not beginning till July. So you would have a month to prepare taking away the unfair edge for people who played the beta and preordered the deluxe edition. It’ll also give people time to enjoy the story without rushing through content.

@Texan_Survivor I don’t think it has anything to do with the PS5 being a weaker console. We’re heading into an era where cloud gaming is gonna take up much of the casual space. Only the core gamers are going to still see interest in owning local hardware. Also I don’t see this generation lasting as long as the PS4. I mean we’re already hearing talks of a PS5 Pro.

@Northern_munkey I don’t really get this issue that people have… Any one “sweaty” enough to attempt something like this are usually the content creators, the people who pre order the fancy deluxe edition to get it a couple days early, and most likely already played the beta… The people who would want it to wait till the 6th or season 1 are the casual, and they wouldn’t have a chance anyway.

@Martijn87 It cheaper on PC most likely cause it an epic exclusive due Epic publishing the game. Epic store doesn’t take the 30% hit like Sony/Microsoft/Valve does.

@Shad361 Whatever device Nintendo releases next wouldn't even be in the same market. Unless Nintendo plans to release an actual next gen home console on the same power level as a PS5, and not another glorified tablet.

@Nem Sony is a smart company, and I am sure they made sure to consider way to get out of this deal if it doesn't suit them. Plus any bad press isn't going to affect Sony. It going to affect Embracer Group as it is still their game, and it their decision making and studios that lead to the poor state of the game that it currently in.

But we'll see in 10 years when this finally releases.

@Green-Bandit "release on PC there day one and still release games on PS possibly"

I mean... If Sony bought them. They could still release on PC and on Xbox. Bungie games are still multiplatform as part of the purchase agreement. But let's hope does games make it of oven as the recent news about the spin-off games being reboots, multiple lay off of developers, and talent leaving is not a good sign...

@RudeAnimat0r I wouldn’t even Dragon Dogma and Monster hunter in the same market. One is more of WRPG similar to Fallout 3, Elder Scrolls, and Fable 2… While Monster hunter you just fight and capture monsters.

@Nem There is no such thing as “not possible”, anything possible at this point. As there is nothing stopping Sony from pulling funding if the game doesn’t release in a timely fashion or it doesn’t eventually meet their quality standards. It also heavily depends on the contract. It also already been stated that Sony is unhappy with the state of the remake.

@BeerIsAwesome I would pay top dollar for Gandhi. At least getting killed by Gandhi will be better than getting killed by goku black #8664

@KundaliniRising333 I was going to say the exact same thing. Lmao

By the time this comes out… We’ll be talking about the PS6 and the game will be day 1 on Xbox at release.

@BeerIsAwesome they’ll start digging around for less popular IP… Can’t wait for Angry Beavers or cat dog in Fortnite. Maybe an Alice in wonderland Fortnite themed event would be cool.

@somnambulance @Tharsman @UltimateOtaku91 FF7 Rebirth. Reunion came out last year in December.

@Rafie He was the original Dragon Quest character designer/artist… Not creator.

@Arisen The game rights aren’t handled by the tolkien estate… Those rights were sold in the 60s or something. The rights are currently owned by Middle-earth Enterprises which was bought by Embracer Group in 2022.

@NEStalgia "The "best" GaaS games have people compulsively playing it that aren't having fun but feel a need to push continuously at it despite it causing misery, and still pumping money into it."

This is so true especially when you look at the communities especially for Destiny. Do they do nothing but complain but yet they still dump hours into it, buy the skins, battle pass, and every DLC. Evern my close friend is a Destiny addict who has over 2k hrs into the just Steam version alone... Does nothing but complain about how he not having fun but continues to play and spend.

@Renegade_master "The number of games that could potentially decline in quality"

ABK only makes like 3 or 4 games (CoD, Overwatch, WoW, and Diablo)... And most of these are already have massively declined in quality. At least under Microsoft, we could have still gotten the PvE for Overwatch. ABK is literally sitting on a bed of used IP especially all those unused Sierra Entertainment cause as soon as one of their studios makes something good... They are killed off to join the CoD and Blizzard mines.

"MS killed their biggest Franchise in Halo and most of the development Studio"

While it suck about what happened to Halo, I do not feel sorry for 343. They are directly to blame for the downfall of Halo and the studio need to have been killed off during the Xbox One generation. But if it have been nothing but good news since they killed of most of the top management.

@Mad001 That what happens when you don’t go with a traditional publisher.

@somnambulance TBH i expect Pragmata to become another deep down. Capcom just wanna do a “me too” with fancy graphical games announcement at the start of the generation before falling back to same old tried IPs.

@somnambulance Isn’t Pragmata a capcom game? We didn’t need 3 capcom games shown in one showcase.

@Oh_fiddlesticks I don’t think it going to show up at SGF either. I wasn’t expecting it at the PlayStation showcase either. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the franchise come June, and both Naughty Dog and Last of Us have out grown PlayStation. They will probably be hosting their own events to mark the 10th anniversary, show off faction, drop information on season 2 of the show, and hopefully announce a PC port of Part 2 🤞

@Olmaz Jade is the definition of “It's who you know, not what you know”. With over 20 years in the industry with multiple years spent at Sony, EA, and Ubisoft… She has enough contacts within the industry to fund any idea and studio she wants.

@Rob_230 Price. OLED is still expensive, and not worth it for cheap devices like this.

@ShogunRok Isn't Black Myth Wukong hoping to launch this summer? I can understand the delay for that game given that it UE5, and we are only now starting to UE5 games release this summer.

@3Above Does Sony even own the rights to hand it off to one of their internal studios? Cause I feel like Sony didn’t really have a say in who developing it and are just paying for it development for it be exclusive.

@Tharsman GeForce Now*

@BlueBeemer But the normies aren't mad tho. The one who are mad, people who hang around on sites like this, aka their hardcore fan base, are generally upset which are the people I’m talking about.

@UltimateOtaku91 That what happens when you build your fan base solely off of single players games…. It not any different with Microsoft struggling to sell to JRPG or purely single players games to their fan base.

All most 500k for a broken game is amazing. Imagine if they actually had released it in working order.

@Nepp67 I don't think it comes down to the weapon they use... But what aligns best with the culture of the Samurai. Warlock in destiny fit more with the culture of the Samurai than a Titan or Hunter would. It similar to how to Ghost being a Cordyceps from Last of Us make sense due to when Ghost revives their Chosen, they are bonded together from that point forward. A "neural symbiosis" begins between them.

@helloim_anthony It cause people have been beat over the head so many times with live service games. That people have forgotten that co-op ≠ live service.

Sony could absolutely dominate the PC vr market if they allowed the PSV2 to be compatible with PC. VR on PC is basically free territory at this point. Most people are sick of Facebook and HTC. Valve is also a no show when it comes to announcing a index 2.

@KidRyan Unless they’re plan on announcing another Ratchet or Clank or Gravity Rush. I doubt there will be anything I’ll look forward to.
