CrashLanded

Hopefully this means a new game

Why would Sony do something this dumb just because nintendo is?

I'd rather grind than play P5 with all its textboxes and unfunny jokes

@thefourfoldroot Well the chef should let the customer who paid money for his meal do what he wants with it

Seriously, we all have to face the brunt of always online just to play the game?

Smh no Golden Abyss

Sony won't have to worry until 2023, right now they should prepare for the worst possible scenarios and continue doubling down on first party exclusives and not get sloppy in any area

@MFTWrecks NST was literally funded by SCE, not to mention Crash at Fiesta bowl and PS exclusive content on CTR Nitro Fueled

Cope

@Flaming_Kaiser Ikr?

People need to realize games back in the day were just as complex to develop because technology back then was not nearly as sophisticated and advanced, not to mention it was not as easy to share development and debugging tips on the internet/communicate from faraway as easily.

Not to mention nowadays video games have a much larger market share and video game companies are much bigger with bigger audiences and bigger budgets than before.

I don't see why we need to settle for less now just because, if anything it should be more

@middyone How am I being the toxic? I was saying why there are only 2 weapons and you are getting overly defensive

@middyone fist and shields aren't real weapons, and atreus's bow and arrows are extremely shallow

Great article, don't understand why early current gen adopters are so hellbent on wanting the last gen snubbed just so they can feel special

Similar with what happened with PS3, despite so many games only on that system unplayable on PS4 even with psnow

Still mad at myself for avoiding spoilers of the game at launch, mfw the only thing to really spoil was the game only had 2 real weapons and that thing about Atreus

I'd rather an Ascension port with its multiplayer as well

Nintendo fans when they learn you can have a game be good AND have good graphics

@Flaming_Kaiser Announce it when it is finished is my opinion

@Titntin All I see is a bunch of complaining from some entitled PS fanboy who thinks the world revolves around Sony and their profit margins

@Titntin Calling consumers entitled for not wanting price spikes and paying for things other vendors are doing for free does in fact make you an apologist. Again, Sony and no company is your friend.

@Titntin Does it hurt licking boots this much? Imagine thinking PushSquare ISN'T a Sony fanboy circle because they dared criticize ONE thing about Sony.

Sony isn't your friend, they aren't gonna give you free games for defending them from criticism.

Skeptical as that one pink haired dude who left Insomniac (same dude who bragged about Rivet nsfw) said Insomniac was full of "misogynist white men" because they disagreed with Sam Magg's story direction when she was still employed writing Rift Apart's story

News Maps? Nice

@auditor01 People with jobs and full time duties can't justify dropping 70 dollars here and there for games that are still the same length and quality as they've always been, these sales are atrocious and Xbox is currently curb stomping Sony in pricing and deals

Nice, hoping Sony doesn't go the way of Nintendo and becomes stingy on game sales

2018 God of War 4 and Spider-Man sold so many copies but Sony still chopped their prices to 20-30 dollars within half a year

Seeing the last of us that high while tools of destruction not even making it, god of war III only at 7, and no inFamous, Sly 4, and PSASBR really makes me question how many people on this site actually had playstations before 4 lol

the steam game ports really solidify that notion

Imagine hosting a poll for player opinions then getting mad when they all vote Ratchet lol

Also double lol at people then saying Dread will win not Ratchet in comments despite Dread looking like a psp game and being even shorter than Rift Apart

@HotGoomba In the same article they were gloating how game industries should be past crunch when they outsourced crunch to lemonskystudios for rift apart as well, lol

Virtue signaling the company

This is so misleading

Insomniac, a company infamous for crunch where the Ratchet games even had entire planets made by new interns, now gloating how they are past crunch when they outsource art to lemonskystudios who are infamous for crunching employees to meet deadlines.

https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2021-05-13-the-games-industry-just-talked-about-outsourcing-crunch-and-totally-missed-the-point

Be better.

@HeeHo LOL

How is this clown taken seriously by anyone?

Greg Miller, the same one who used to write awful reviews on IGN?

He reviewed Jumping Flash, a 1995 game, in 2012 and called the game looking jagged. This dude has his head somewhere not on his head.

Can we expect Third Party EXCLUSIVES or regular multi plat AAA?

The Uncharted movie looks worse than the Ratchet movie which at least looked like the games and even that movie had a lackluster story compared to the original game.

I'd rather watch the God of War Ascension trailer 30 times instead of watching the Uncharted movie lol

Don't see why people are mad, all the good GoW games are still PS exclusive

Based article

@Milktastrophe yes, it has been 7 years, but you have to keep in mind ips like Bomberman and Crash were completely dormant with 0 updates or merch in their dead periods, same for Mega man out sf x tekken and smash

However with castlevania there is the apple arcade mobile game, multiple ports, netflix series, merch, and collab appearances. The IP is hardly dead just because lord of shadows was in 2014. People were calling Castlevania dead even as early as 2018.

@sajoey Imagine thinking Norse Kratos is better than Greek Kratos, OG GoW constantly has its gameplay lifted by other titles, meanwhile 2018 GoW has its gameplay lifted from other titles

@JAMes-BroWWWn Imagine co-creating two headline sony ips and then being thrown under the bus while people defend sony potentially snubbing the co-creator

You'd done nothing in your life as relevant as David Jaffe, sit down

@nessisonett

I heard being ignorant and having no personality is a pretty bland life

Literally looking up their QA report, majority of their profits is PES and Yu-gi-oh

I am sure you didn't know Konami has made console games before covid-19 for a good while but you wouldn't know because it isn't Castlevania, MGS, Silent Hill, or whatever AAA you heard of but probably don't even actually play

Why do people even care about a corporate logo this much

They are corporations, they don't care for you, why spend time caring about their logo being shaped to look more like they really are

@nessisonett

Konami makes most of its money off PES and Yu-Gi-Oh though?

Konami has made Pachinko since early 2000s, you're not smart for repeating a bandwagoned half truth

This comment chain full of the most bandwagoned takes.

Konami has made pachinko since the early 2000s and people freaking out MGS, Castlevania, and Silent Hill as 'dead' for not having games in a few years despite Konami still selling and co producing content for the above ips.

Where were you people when Konami let all those Hudson IPs not have anything for years upon years?

Ignore how Konami has put out actual games in the past few years to reinforce your pachinko circlejerk and keep eating up the monthly rumor of a revival. It is annoying how parrot-y people are with Konami.

No, I'd rather not see Marvel bloat PS exclusives like they did with movies.

Insomniac becoming a Marvel house basically is a recipe for Ratchet to one day be abandoned in favor of superhero games. Again, Spider-Man's ip can survive without Marvel games, Ratchet's ip cannot survive with games from his home studio.

What is the need to constantly praise Persona 5 here. It is baby's first JRPG and has one of the most pretentious stories I've ever seen in a video game.

Not to mention essentially giving a full price rerelease like Royal a 10/10 but calling Sonic Colors Ultimate Edition a 6/10

SMT III meanwhile barely gets love despite having a more mature evolved story and gameplay that doesn't hold your hand.

To think they used to make 3 games in one generation versus one across three

Hopefully it is worth the wait. Hoping more than just a new maps and co-op, perhaps playable Venom and or symbiote suit with new abilities.

Narratively I am hopeful it isn't some Donny Cates Venom but classic Venom with some Kraven's Last Hunt.

Right after the Horizon debacle too, which this is arguably even worse.

Hopefully Sony backtracks on this too

This game smells of port soon to PC/exclusive for a year. Might need to wait to see the direction.

Need a Doughnut Kratos skin to make it fair

I agree with this article.

It is an aggressively "okay" showcase with only two real exclusive titles we have not particularly seen.

God of War 5 again looks like a dlc for 4 and honestly unappealing. They cannot be bothered to add another weapon even? 4 was already lacking in combat variety with the same 2 weapon. Tired of seeing that dumb axe, give Kratos more of his old weapons back if you can't be bothered for new ideas.

Wolverine, again Marvel fatigue. I don't really care for another solo Wolverine story. What would it be at this point? Alpha Force days? Vendetta with Sabretooth? Going to Japan/fighting Lady Deathstrike? Why not just make an X-Men game, would have more to work with.

Spider-Man 2 looks great and had the most potential of what was shown both narratively and gameplay wise. However that game was expected and not really a shocker to anyone, and 2023 is a while now and who wants to bet it is delayed? And Insomniac becoming a Marvel games studio is just going to make Ratchet games come out with bigger and bigger gaps, I am not asking for PS3 amounts of Ratchet titles but a new Ratchet every 5 years would be lame.

People in the comment sections unable to handle people's disappointment and fanboying over 10 seconds of rendered cutscenes without any sort of criticism is just sad. You are the consumer, Sony isn't going to reward you for defending them.
