@Nepp67 If anything the failure of Cyberpunk(I know that it sold well) guarantees that open world games will continue using the same formula that Ubisoft created in 2012. It's too scary and hard to attempt something bigger unless you are Rockstar.
The only thing more boring than collecting ***** in games is writing a guide about collecting ***** in games. I salute the person who sacrificed a piece of his soul to do this.
I love the fact that Cyberpunk 2077 will never become the second cash cow of CDPR. A small justice in the grand scheme of things, but it's better than nothing.
I can't wait to walk up to a symbol on my map, receive a phone call and a pdf that I won't read and infiltrate a building/rooftop so I can kill/hack/kidnap something. What a great gameplay loop! Games are so creative nowadays!
@MisterMist The SSD is pretty nice, but at the end of the day it's all marketing. The extra horse power that PC components have outperform the PS5 storage tech. And by the end of the year when Direct Storage launches Sony will probably stop competing on that front.
I would complain about the fact that they are just ripping off mediocre 80's cliches, but their original stories are even less interesting.
They apparently have a lot of money laying around if they can afford former WCW Heavyweight champion of the world David Arquette so why can't they hire some decent writers?
@IonMagi I always feel a little bit uncomfortable knowing just how easy it is to pirate games on PC. It's like being embarrassed by your mom coming to school to pick you up. Sony should lower the price to ~50 dollars/40 euro and people will buy it though.
@Voltan Are you implying that the story and characters are not as important as the graphics even when it comes movies and tv shows? Because most people would agree with that statement.
Second of all you can definitely be disappointed even if you keep your expectations in check. For example: I kinda knew that Elden Ring was going to be just open world Dark Souls, but I was still disappointed by how little the formula has evolved. I can say the same for Horizon, Halo etc
I love micro transactions. We all know how big and grindy games can be and there is nothing that can be done about that it's just a matter of fact. We should applaud companies like Ubisoft and EA that give us the opportunity to save time.
Sony should release TLOU Remake and TLOU2 Directors Cut on PC when the TV show launches. I already streamed these games through PS now, but I want to replay them with all of the bells and whistles.
@art_of_the_kill You have no idea just how little anyone cares about the 'PS brand'. It's all about money and they are making more money than ever. Good job Jim!
@lolwhatno I wasn't rude. Just because Spiders is an underdog doesn't mean that they should be shielded from criticism. Maybe they need to lower the scale of their games a bit instead of copying Witcher 3 with a fracture of the talent and money.
@ShogunRok There is nothing wrong with some banter. Without arguments this website will go the way of the Dodo.
@Apfelschteiner Sony has a lot of games though. Maybe the launcher won't happen, but they are still going to make a lot more money if their games are multiplatform which is the important thing.
@truerbluer There are rumors and it's also common sense. If Sony are not planning to use their own launcher on PC they are just leaving money on the table.
Exclusives definitely help sell consoles, but Sony will make a lot more money if their games are multi platform.
@Divergent95 I am not a nomadic person who lived in Central Asia, the Caucasus, and Eastern Europe between the 4th and 6th century AD so don't call me Hun.
Also, just like you are free to praise that studio I am free to insult it.
@Uncharted2007 The people who participated in those polls are a minority though. 99% of people can't care less about these issues and especially what a company like Sony does besides releasing products.
@truerbluer Sony is creating their own launcher, the extra development cost will be peanuts in comparison to how much more units they will sell and can you please explain to me what can a console do that a PC can't?
PC is the platform with the extra memory and horse power in case you have forgotten. Also, you can connect and use every device on pc. I used the Dualsense motion aiming capabilities with Breath Of The Wild on PC. There is nothing unique about consoles. It's all marketing.
@Gbarsotini Why do you hate gaming on a pc? I keep hearing that sentence and it doesn't make any sense. Buy a controller. Connect it to a TV. Use a graphical preset. After you become more comfortable with the setup you can try playing PC only games, modding or emulation.
@truerbluer You are buying a console because it's cheap. Everything else is extra. Sony will definitely make more money if their games are multiplatform so this is the right move to make.
I don't know about any of you, but I'd love to see the end of dedicated gaming hardware. I switched to PC after the PS3 era and I have been able to emulate Breath Of The Wild and Stream Last of Us 2 on the same platform while using a Nintendo/Sony controllers which is just amazing.
I am not at all excited about the future of PC components too because they are just going to become louder and hotter and more expensive as time goes on.. Whoever manages to create an acceptable streaming experience throughout the planet is going to dominate the market imo.

@WaveBoy You can look around freely thanks to apps like Vorpx, but the gunplay will remain largely the same.
Re: State of Play Showcase for Thursday Confirmed, PSVR2 Games Included
@WaveBoy I am 99% certain that you can play RE8 in VR on PC.
Re: Poll: Do You Care About PlayStation TV Shows?

Re: Hangar 13 Faces Layoffs as Development Shifts to More Mafia
Maybe they quit. I imagine that making a game as boring and repetitive as Mafia 3 isn't very fun. Soul draining.

Re: Rumour: PS5 Exclusive Returnal Likely Heading to PC Soon
@truerbluer Games like Kena and Sifu don't support the Dualsense on PC just because the devs are lazy or incompetent.
Re: Rumour: PS5 Exclusive Returnal Likely Heading to PC Soon
@truerbluer The Dualsense has been supported on the PC since day 1. And the RTX 4080 will be the hardest GPU to get so good luck with that.

@truerbluer Because people want the next gen experience. Duhh...
Re: Rumour: PS5 Exclusive Returnal Likely Heading to PC Soon
@truerbluer They can't make enough PS5s. Use your brain before getting angry.

Re: Sony Confirms Horizon, God of War, and Gran Turismo TV Shows in Development

Re: South Korean Rating for God of War Ragnarok Suggests News Is Incoming
@Atreus97
first of all that's not a GOW quote.

Re: More Than Half of PlayStation's Investment Could Be in Live Service Games by 2025
@TripleKing333 If only one of these games succeeds it will generate more revenue for them than all of their SP games combined.
Re: PSVR2 Will Have Over 20 Major Launch Titles
VR is not evolving fast enough. Sony should have been working on the PSVR3 imo.
Re: Sniper Elite 5 (PS5) - Dense Stealth Sandbox Shooter Is a Real French Fancy

@playstation1995 no one would have complained if the final product was good.
Re: Sniper Elite 5 (PS5) - Dense Stealth Sandbox Shooter Is a Real French Fancy

Re: Hogwarts Legacy on PS5 Makes You Feel Like Harry Potter
@Simong85 They can create a 4k/60/rtx mode, but they will have to reduce graphical settings or level complexity.
Re: PS Plus Premium's Cloud Streaming Does Not Support PS5 Games
Damn. I really hope that the PC version of this service is cheaper than the console version.
Re: New PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Will Be Added in the Middle of Each Month
Should they add Ragnarok to the service day1 when it releases late 2023?
Re: PS Plus Premium Comparison Video Shows Off All the New Features
Can't Sony just remake all PS1 games?
Re: More PS1, PSP Games Launching on PS Plus Premium Revealed
IMO Sony should surprise us with GOW Ragnarok for the launch of PS Plus.

Re: Sony: Acquisition of Bungie Represents a Major Step Forward in Becoming More Multiplatform
@OmegaStriver Might as well buy a Valve Index instead of a switch. I am pretty sure that the CPU inside that console is good enough to use Yuzu.
