I’m actually looking forward to playing some PlayStation Studios mobile games. I don’t have an issue with this as long as the console output is unaffected.

I’m not one to spend money on in-app purchases though.

Quit playing games with my heart.

@KidBoruto There’s some leaker on Twitter who has gotten a few things right in the past claiming they are working on 2 games currently: an original smaller game, think Miles Morales in terms of length, and then another remake.

Take it with a grain of salt.

@Orpheus79V

Yeah I thought I remembered the PS3 numbers being quite low, the Souls series hadn’t taken off yet with this being the first entry. Glad to see a lot more are enjoying it this time around.

Housemarque, Nixxes, Firesprite/Fabrik, Bluepoint.

It’s clear that Hermen Hulst and Jim Ryan have a more strategic approach to their acquisition strategies that I have no doubt will pay off huge in the long run. They don’t have to take away longtime major publishers or established IP from anyone in the process.

Well deserved! Can’t emphasize enough how much of an amazing remake this is. I’m well over 100 hours into it and the artwork and Bluepoint’s interpretation of things are so well done.

1.4 million I believe already puts it well ahead of the PS3 original’s total sales. It’s great that more people are experiencing this game.

Feels good to see Bluepoint on this list now.

Good luck with the original content! I’m sure Nixxes can take the helm for some remasters in the meantime.

All hail the remake kings! Bluepoint games is a studio of serious quality. I’m still playing through the Demon’s Souls remake and am in awe of what they accomplish time and again with their stunning recreations.

Awesome to hear Bluepoint is working on original content as well. The future is bright for Bluepoint!

Wow the reviews are incredibly positive. Looking forward to playing this one soon!

I’ll try it on the ole Ipad. Love the Wipeout series.

I think I might get a wheel and pedals for the first time ever. Can’t wait.

I would expect nothing less. If a 2023 game and a 2024+ game are still being developed as crossgen, that would be a really tough sell in justifying why for Sony. Last gen needs to be left behind at some point and the 2023/2024 mark is halfway through the console’s lifecycle.

I have no idea what’s going on with the acquisition, but I just want to see what they’re working on next after the amazing Shadow of the Colossus remake and the incredible Demon’s Souls remake.

They can do no wrong in my book.

In less than 24 hours,

Spiderman 2 is now at 5.4 million views
God of War: Ragnarok is at 3.2 million
Knights of the Old Republic is at 1.8 million
Wolverine is at 1.6 million

All these games will do monster numbers upon release. Sony is killing it.

I remember when the Horizon: Forbidden West State of Play came out, that did 4.5 million views in less than 24 hours as well.

I thought it was a good show.

I don’t think I agree that it wasn’t good enough. There were some genuinely surprise announcements such as the KOTOR remake and Wolverine. The games we expected like Gran Turismo 7 and God of War look amazing as thought they would.

I am personally bummed to see Naughty Dog’s only appearance be in the form of two remasters from PS4. Factions is still not ready to show yet? Feelsbadman.

Looks like they are focusing more on the cutscenes than the gameplay. I’ll wait for reviews on this one.

Kinda wish I waited before getting most trophies in Uncharted 4, but it’s all good. I don’t think I’ll be picking this up but I’m sure it will be the best version of what is an incredible game.

@Milktastrophe Awfully presumptuous on your part if you think that because the next two games are Marvel, every game from now on by Insomniac will be a Marvel game.

There was only one Ratchet & Clank for the entirety of the PS4 lifecycle. There has already been a new Ratchet & Clank within the first year of the PS5. You questioning if the franchise is dead just because it’s not one of Insomniac’s next two games comes off as silly in that context.

@KippDynamite You’re correct about Ratchet in the PS2 and PS3 days. There was only one Ratchet for PS4 but they also did Sunset Overdrive, Spiderman, as well as multiple VR and smaller projects during that time last generation. Also, Naughty Dog released the Uncharted and TLoU games two years apart from each other, not one year: Uncharted 1 in 2007, 2 in 2009, 3 in 2011, and TLoU in 2013.

I’ve never heard that Returnal was developed in 18 months, where did you get that from?

@Milktastrophe So if one of there next two games is not another Ratchet and Clank already, the series is dead?

@Milktastrophe How could Ratchet be dead? There was literally a new ratchet months ago.

I don’t know how Insomniac do it but doubting them at this point is futile.

Cannot wait! I put so many hours into the original.

Horizon: Forbidden West in February, Gran Turismo 7 in March!

Looking like a great first quarter to 2022 already.

Deathloop again really?

But Star Wars: KoToR remake, Eve, Forspoken, Wolverine, Spiderman 2, GT 7, Ghostwire Tokyo, God of War: Ragnarok.

I'm quite pleased overall.

Firesprite have been on a hiring spree getting talent from studios like Naughty Dog, Rockstar, Rocksteady, and Ubisoft. I expect high-quality games to come from this studio.

It’s time to feast.

Rumors are they are working on a dark narrative adventure game like Heavy Rain or Detroit, a multiplayer project, and a Horizon VR title. Exciting stuff if true.

So now it’s a free upgrade to PS5 from the PS4 version. So…why would anyone buy the more expensive PS5 version?

Damn finally? Great game, been a long time since I’ve played. Might give it a go on PS5. Let’s see what the remastered enhancements improve.

Always down for more card and board games of any kind. Looking forward to learning more about Strike.

Great to see that Kojima and Sony are continuing their relationship collaborating with games. Death Stranding II, exciting stuff!

@Snake_V5 Death Stranding is owned by Sony. In the trailer it states “Death Stranding is a trademark of Sony Interactive Entertainment America LLC”.

@Bleachedsmiles There’s no repurchase necessary. The Director’s Cut is $10 if you own Death Stranding.

Was that Moby Dick at the end of the video? Hmm 🤔

What’s going on guys I finally wrapped up the platinum for Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. I thought it was a great Ratchet & Clank entry, but I have to be honest I hard a really hard time getting into it after coming directly from the exhilarating Returnal.

Now I’ve finally started the incredible Demon’s Souls remake on PS5 and I’m impressed how good of a job Bluepoint Games have done here. I haven’t played the PS3 version since 2012 but it’s just like how I remembered it in my head rather than how it actually looks on PS3 hardware if you know what I mean.

A very beautiful game and many small quality-of-life improvements done by Bluepoint make it less frustrating than before without turning down the difficulty. Even though Bloodborne has more fast-paced action in general, Demon’s Souls remake has vastly superior load times and plays at 60fps which honestly makes it feel just as fast as Bloodborne to me. Especially because I’m going for a light armor build with the Blueblood Sword!

Happy gaming everyone.

Real recognize real.

There’s no game on the level of Returnal so far this year.

Sorry Ratchet, still love ya.

More day 1 releases of Indie games please.

@Korgon Bluebox’s specific wording on Twitter I believe was something like “PC players will rejoice”.

But then I’ve seen them advertise Abandoned as only on PS5.

But either way, even if it’s coming to PC it’s at least console exclusive and one would think Sony must be interested in it if they have locked up some form of exclusivity for it.

And I just can’t believe for a second that they would agree to a deal without seeing the product, especially if it was from a supposed no-name developer who never put out anything good in the past.

@LiamCroft Sony are not funding it, but they did reach some sort of exclusivity deal right, either full exclusive or console. So they have to know more about this game than the public do at this point I’d imagine.

Check out the BlueBox website now. It says the issue has been resolved and the patch is going live in the next few hours.

@Bleachedsmiles I really can’t think of other games on the PS Store that had their own app. I’ve seen games that release a demo, but a downloadable app made for viewing trailers is a strange one to me.

It could be a marketing con, I’m just struggling to see the end goal from Hasan if that were the case. If it’s some rinky-dink indie game of poor quality, would Hasan really think his empty promises and fake hype would still get purchases after showing a crappy finished product?

I would also expect Sony to vet this guy pretty thoroughly before giving him such a platform. Surely they would have to see how the game is coming along themselves before featuring it on Youtube and putting this downloadable app on the PS Store right? One would hope anyway.

@NeoTokyo404 It doesn’t make sense for a money launderer to be so attention-seeking on Twitter and among gaming media, and give interviews to guys like Keighley and Schreier.

I would think someone engaging in illegal activity would want to be far more under-the-radar.

@RobN Glad you could find it, and yep it just says “check back soon” for now. Hopefully there will be something new soon.

@RobN Are you on a PS5? I think it’s PS5 only. I searched in the PS Store on my PS5 and literally just typed the letter “A” in the search bar on the store and Abandoned was the first thing that popped up.

Kojima’s most recent tweet is very weird. He’s talking about some books but he says something about Thursday, not Tuesday.

Thursday happens to be the anniversary of P.T.

The waiting game continues.

@AdamNovice Ya it makes too much sense in my opinion. Additional anime and manga content like you said, and then they would have Fromsoft, which would obviously be huge on its own for gaming.

Sony already showed an interest in investing in them with the small 2% stake, and at the same time they announced some type of partnership I believe.

I can see them increasing their shares but you never know. With Sony sometimes the obvious isn’t always what they personally have in mind for their plans.

Sony basically IS anime now. Next step, increasing shares in Kadokawa Corp. from 2% to a majority stake.

Probably going for the Clank set in Fall Guys and maybe wrapping up Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart.

Happy gaming everyone.

@__jamiie Nice try with the strawman there. Never did I claim they deserve to go bankrupt, that’s all you. I’m simply communicating with my wallet that if you want my purchase then launch day 1 on the platform that I use. There’s no animosity in me towards this company or any other, and I will never run out of other games to play.

There’s nothing wrong with voting with your wallet as a consumer.

Skipped Playstation and released on literally every other platform last year. I don’t really care if it sounds petty, you skip my preferred platform and you’re not getting a dime from me. I have still never bought Rise of the Tomb Raider either.
