Re: Baldur's Gate 3's Accidental PS5 Console Exclusivity Truncated as Xbox Backtracks

It was a good choice as BG3 should be availibe to as many people as possible. I always thought trying to get feature partity on a console that is now over £200 cheaper than the main was was the wrong idea. I guess you could argue the lack of RT on Series S games means this actually happened ages ago. Series S is a must have for PS gamers that want to play gamepass titles and basically the best AAA xbox games. I picked one up with my PS5 at launch and have not regretted it! I feel sorry for those who hate on other consoles for no logical reason.

It was decent, The expections were correctly set and there were some nice bits in there. IF the expectations were not clearly laid out beforehand I would be more disapointed but I expected no Sony 1st party news and that is how it played out.

I expect a showcase Sept or Oct for Sony with the launch date of the new PS5 plus project Q in November.

We may also get a Spiderman 2 state of Play and if we are really lucky a Rise of Ronin State of Play (Due out early 2024).

I can imagine the main games for 2024 will be Rise of Ronin (early year) Stellar Blade (middle year) Wolverine (Late year) complimented by some strong 3rd party and addtional 3rd party exclusives.

@PixelDragon I mean to be fair Xbox Series X/S has sold nearly 25 million units so it's not that bad. They don't need to sell PS/Switch numbers, they just need the console side to compliment thier PC and mobile offer which it is doing. If the next console for Xbox does not do as well I can imagine they would revert to software and cloud only. One day in the future Sony will deem making consoles not viable. It will just be different times for diffrent busineses.

Re: Red Dead Redemption Runs at 4K, 30FPS on PS5

Looks pretty good for a 13 year old game. There are games that have come at this year that have been nowhere near as good! Says a lot about the enduring quality. £40 is a decent price for a new player. It won't offer anything new for old players though.

They wouldn't have won doing it either way as there is always a smaller group of players who just like to moan.

Re: $50 for Red Dead Redemption PS4 Port 'Commercially Accurate', Says Publisher Take-Two

I mean it's a great game that still holds up well against most modern day releases, I honestly don't think any new player would complain with paying £40 for a large and well developed game. Obviously if you have played it like most of us echo chamberlords then it isn't worth it. It will sell well.

I for one never finished RDR so I may get it. There will be a signifcant number of younger players who are now old enough to play/understand the game.
