Still haven’t seen any justification for the price increase. We’ve actually been getting significantly less games the last few months than we were before. I also feel like the games that they have been offering have been of lesser quality as well.
Honestly pathetic. Seems like they’ve announced more cancelled games than they’ve actually released the last two years and for good measure let’s add an entire studio closure on top.
Totally fine with this since I’ll be playing Helldivers 2 instead anyways. But I’m curious why any game would release without a platinum in the first place. Even if niche, trophy hunters are very much a thing. Including a platinum would have absolutely resulted with more players especially releasing on PS+
Whole thing seems like a ridiculous waste and honestly a bit embarrassing for Sony. How many devs does it really take to work on a game like this after release? Surely a studio with the pedigree of naughty dog could’ve brought in some support studio to continue supporting it with post launch content to allow them to jump back into single player games. Firesprite brought in Fabrik Games shortly after themselves being acquired by Sony.
Not a bad month for me, as there’s at least 5/6 games I’m interested in playing. I still think premium needs to diversify and stop adding groups of games from the same series all at once. But let’s be honest. They could give us Alan Wake 2, Baldurs Gate 3, & Spider-Man 2 all in one month and people would still find a reason to complain about something. I would be interested in seeing users here make a mock list of 15 games they would add to Extra if they had their choice to gauge expectations.
I definitely don’t think it deserved GOTY but I thought it had a good chance of winning best action/adventure. I think it was definitely snubbed from not being included on the best action game ballot tho.
Edit: I’ve also seen a lot more people talking about Spider-Man fans complaining than I’ve actually seen Spider-man fans complaining
I really think Sony messed up not acquiring this studio. They make absolutely great games that are just lacking a little bit of something, and cohesiveness that I think Sony complimented and mostly solved. Until Dawn was peak Supermassive imo, but The Quarry was close to a return to form. Either way, I’m excited to see what this games all about. I just hope they haven’t abandoned The DPA and we get some news on Directive 8020 soon too.
Leaks 99% of the time suck. Its nobody’s looking for fame off other peoples hard work. Stuff like this is why I wish publishers and developers would stop giving access to their games early to anyone with a YouTube channel.
I’d be for it. More games available to us would always be good. But this comes across as Microsoft looking for sympathy again. If they wanted to they could have released their games there without gamepass.
Absolutely loved that she was included in the main cast and that they used sign language numerous times for dialogue, but that mission was so unnecessary and boring.
Absolutely deserved. Went into Baldurs Gate not knowing anything about it and have been absolutely blown away with it the entire time. I don’t get why Resident Evil 4 won PlayStation game of the year though.
Still haven’t seen any justification for that ridiculous price hike but that said I’m excited to try out Disco Elysium and Gotham Knights. Premium is still a joke though and continues to look like a wasted opportunity. Also highly recommend horror fans that haven’t played House of Ashes or Alien Isolation to give them a shot.
Genuinely curious. How is this worse than the 30% publishers take from selling games on their platform? Having to give Unity a one time payment of 20 cents per unit installed seems like a small drop in the bucket to me.
I honestly really loved it. Maybe because I went in with such low expectations. I really liked the cast and the chemistry between John Doe and Quiet. Show was also a lot funnier and bloodier than I was expecting which were both welcome surprises. Really hoping this gets a second season.
I know it gets tons of hate but Destruction All-Stars was actually pretty fun and really well put together. Besides taking forever to find a match my real only complaint is the cringe character’s.
Even with it being considered a “weaker month” there’s several games I’m looking forward to playing. So I really have no complaints. WWZ is fantastic and highly recommended to anyone who hasn’t tried it yet.
This and ratchet and clank were the two games I was most excited about. Oh well, my backlog is insane right now and I’ve got plenty to of games to tide me over.
Very excited to see what these guys are working on. Love most of the games by Supermassive, and would definitely be interested in more games in that style by Sony first party.
Would be a better month for me if Heavenly Bodies had online multiplayer. Nioh 2 will probably be too hard for me but I’m down to give it a shot eventually. Lego HP is the big dud for me but that’s alright
Bummer we likely won’t see another game from them on PlayStation. I don’t really understand what’s going on with Sony. They’re supposedly putting out a new VR headset in a matter of months while seemingly hesitant to invest in it at the same time. It makes no sense why you wouldn’t partner up with Camouflaj on a new game for the PSVR2 after having one of the best games on the original headset. Same goes for Squanch Games, who’s next game is going to be at least a timed exclusive elsewhere. I know they probably won’t announce any type of acquisitions or partnerships until after the ABK deal closes, unless by chance there is a showcase this year. But it’s really frustrating watching all your favorite franchises and developers get bought out while PlayStation invests and has only talked about Mobile and GAAS as of late. Because of the actions of Microsoft, third party support clearly isn’t gonna cut it anymore. They need to stop being so risk adverse and give us reasons to want these systems.
Hopefully the voice acting is better this time around. I loved It Takes Two but the daughters voice actor was almost unbearable at times. It sounded like a adult pretending to be a British little girl.

Both quantity and quality has been slipping since the price increase imo.

Trying to be optimistic here but there’s a good chance we don’t see either of these until around the PS6.

Re: Just One Day Later, Microsoft Has 'No Plans to Bring Game Pass' to PS5, PS4
This seems obvious. Like I said yesterday it seems like Microsoft is just lookin for sympathy and “good guy” points again.
Re: Microsoft Still Wants to Put Xbox Game Pass on PS5, PS4
I’d be for it. More games available to us would always be good. But this comes across as Microsoft looking for sympathy again. If they wanted to they could have released their games there without gamepass.
Re: Spider-Man 2's Best Side Mission Has Been Nominated for an Award
