Go woke go broke seems to be a thing

Sony owning fromsoft would be huge for them.

“Battlefield 6 seems to have been given a player first mandate”

It’s astonishing that devs need to actually push that as a development priority! Hence the reason the market is in it’s current state.

Another game that really does not need a remake. Absolutely sick to death of this now! So much wasted resources when people are crying out for new games.

AAA games have been underwhelming for years (with some obvious exceptions) truth is the gaming media give overly favourable reviews to big budget games and now it’s caught up with them. Western game devs are in real trouble rn so they definitely need a new approach

So the pro has actually broken games 😬

Friend of mine got one and thinks it’s a waste of money.

They had to make that decision really considering no one makes new games anymore 😬

Oh god no! That’s the end of single player horizon I guess.

The more they acquire the harder the pushback will become. At some point you have to call it what it is. A monopoly!

Looks like a game I could get my teeth into. I’ll wait for reviews though.

The playing figures on steam are currently 16k with a peak of 90k a week ago. This game has failed. BioWare will be in trouble financially I would imagine

The opening minute of actual gameplay looks jank af.

Really surprising that pre orders are more than ps4 pro considering the games library at the half way point of the 4 was so much stronger than now.

95% of Live service games are a money pit. Quicker devs learn this the better

£700 for a boot screen seems steep.

Those images look identical on my phone 😬

Gamepass is unsustainable!

Who would have thought a remake of a 7 year old game wouldn’t sell that well. 🤣

Eminems latest album is brilliant. So definitely still relevant imo.

American unions worried about Sony monopoly while Microsoft buy up every publisher it can. 👌🏼

Ps5 is my least played console ever. Make of that what you will. It’s 95% a twitch machine.

Creative decisions “ching ching”

@Ken_Kaniff the repeat articles about old games is likely because PlayStation have almost given up making single player narrative driven games this gen. Push square have to write about something.

It does look fantastic but I think I’ll hold out for the ps6 remake.

Crazy how many comparison articles are popping up all over the internet trying to justify the pro. Only game that will really make a difference is gta6. If that is a massive step up on the pro people will buy it.

Seems Microsoft don’t really know the best way forward.

The original game was perfect and I loved the atmosphere and lighting of the original. Without a side by side comparison would I be able to tell the difference?!

We’ve officially gone past the point of original ideas.

Another ps5 pro sales pitch. Notice all these articles singing toe virtues of the pro after the initial backlash about pricing.

These tv shows are taking creative thinking away from the gaming departments and also making these franchises very dependent on sequels.

Give the people what they want.

Notice that this gen games cost £70 and publishers are making layoffs because not enough people are playing games. Coincidence maybe!?

Pearl is okay the rest look horrible imo.

I thought it was all because of these secret deals that PlayStation had made?!

Nice sales pitch! I’m still not buying

Ubisoft shares are starting to look like a very good buy. If you can wait 3-5 years could be easy profit.

@get2sammyb need specsavers I guess 😆
Agree on the second point but it changed the feel of the game so much. It lost the thing that made me love the first game.

On a side note, I’m happy they didn’t age Ellie and cover her in tattoo’s like the game. I thought she lost a lot of charm in the second game. In my opinion she was almost unlikable

I wonder if I’ll hate season 2 of the show as much as I hated the game 😬 all joking aside I’m not looking forward to watching that scene with the wife (who has no idea what’s coming)

Pointless upgrade but it’s only £10 so who really cares. The big problem with all of these remasters is the resources could be better used on new games.

Devs are starting to learn that in todays market if you don’t release an acceptable polished product gamers will reject it.

No one takes metacritic user scores seriously.

@LifeGirl that’s not a bad thing imo. We need a complete reset of this industry

Let’s just all be honest with ourselves. The golden age of gaming is over!

400m for a clone of a 10 year old game with worse characters and nothing original. PlayStation brand is in real trouble if they keep the decision makers in place.

Comparing PS5 remasters from last gen to Nintendo remasters from Wii U is disingenuous imo. The Wii U was a huge commercial failure but the games released on the system were great. Hence the rereleases to target the much larger audience on the switch.
PlayStations remasters are mostly linked to secondary media releases of TV shows and PC ports. Sony are basically ignoring the needs and wants of their biggest customer base.

Why? 😂 really! Why?!!

I voted ps5 pro, ps5, duelsense, duelsense edge and none of the above.

Who thinks creating remasters of near perfect last gen games was a good idea. It’s so dumb!! I generally have no interest in replaying games I’ve already finished. This gen really does suck
