Just a clever way to cover the heat on MS’s acquisition by making up some poor argument to make Sony look like the bad guy. All while protecting his own interests from his “campaign contributor”.
@Phornix true, they don’t make the best playable games. Witcher 3’s looting drove me bananas how poor it was. They should take a leaf out of insomniac’s book in the playability department.
This would have been a perfect pack in game for the ps5. Not that the console needs anything to boost sales but it would have meant bigger success for a great game that was mostly ignored.
@kyleforrester87 mate it’s easy, you’d know it’s him with the suit on as he’d be short and everyone would call him boy. Also the cut scenes without his suit on would clearly show who it is 😂
I didn’t bother watching it after they released the list of what was going to be shown a day or two ago.
I do wonder what they’re thinking at Sony head office and also where are Sony’s games? They used to do e3, gamescom and PSX all in the same year with new first party content!
@ShogunRok have they improved the terrible looting experience from older gens?
What I mean more specifically is you have to align yourself perfectly for the loot prompt to appear? Considering the amount of looting in this game it started to drive me bonkers how user unfriendly I found it!
Though there’s no shortage of things to play, I do miss the heydays of the ps4 gen when we got a psx before Christmas! Not to mention an e3 and gamescon presentation in the same year…

Re: Sony Acquires Firewalk Studios, New Team Behind Innovative Multiplayer IP
New studio or not Sony has a good track record of cultivating solid teams.
Compare that to MS who buy big names but have yet to prove they can manage them well. If they’re anything like EA then good luck to Bethesda!
Re: American Senators Continue to Target Sony Over PS5, PS4 Timed Exclusives
@UltimateOtaku91 didn’t MS go the whole xbone generation without any AAA games?!

Bias much Mr Kramer?

Not seen much but what I have seen looks insanely good!
Re: Cyberpunk 2077's New PC Update Is a Glimpse of the Future for Game Graphics
@Phornix true, they don’t make the best playable games. Witcher 3’s looting drove me bananas how poor it was. They should take a leaf out of insomniac’s book in the playability department.
Re: A Year After Stadia's Death, PlayStation Appears Poised for Cloud Gaming Push
It feels like the manufacturers want this more than gamers.
I mean if it was the future wouldn’t we all be using it already. We have plenty of choice but people aren’t biting in numbers.
Re: PS5 Remote Play Handheld Purportedly Pegged for November
@dimi yes you’re likely right mate.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077's New PC Update Is a Glimpse of the Future for Game Graphics
Yeah I mean it looks nice but I think we’re past the days where I get excited to see new gen graphics as we’re at such a high standard already.
Also an i9 with rtx running this I can imagine will need some artic glacier type cooling?!
Re: Media Molecule to Cease Live Service for Dreams, Now Working on a New Project
This would have been a perfect pack in game for the ps5. Not that the console needs anything to boost sales but it would have meant bigger success for a great game that was mostly ignored.
Re: PS5 Remote Play Handheld Purportedly Pegged for November
If this is real it needs to be no more than £100 imo if it’s only a streaming device for the PS5.
Doubt it will be though…
Re: Mini Review: Atari Mania (PS5) - WarioWare Inspired Microgame Compilation Isn't Quite Tight Enough
@Bingbongboyo Loved warioware and the Amiga so I’d be down for an Amiga version for sure!
Re: Rumour: Sony's Allegedly Cut PSVR2 Production Plan by 20% in 2023
Niche product is niche
Re: Sony Claps Back at UK Regulator's 'Irrational' Reversal on Microsoft Activision Deal
What Sony really wants to say is “we can’t believe you accepted Microsoft’s bribe as that is the only reasonable explanation for this u-turn.”
Or something.
Re: Rumour: PS5 Pro Really Is Targeting 2024 Release Date
Not interested in a pro but would like a ps5 smaller than a car

Re: Sony Is Acting Unfairly Against Xbox in Japan, US Congress Members Say

Re: New God of War Game Seemingly Teased by Tyr's Voice Actor
@kyleforrester87 mate it’s easy, you’d know it’s him with the suit on as he’d be short and everyone would call him boy. Also the cut scenes without his suit on would clearly show who it is 😂
Re: PS5 Has Been Discounted for the First Time Since It Launched Over Two Years Ago
So…. Any UK discount?
Re: U.S. Senator Says Sony Has 'Monopoly' on High-End Japanese Game Market
MS must have passed her a brown envelope. Contents unknown!
Just more misleading BS from another government official. Why does anybody even trust these people.
Re: Airborne Metroidvania Vernal Edge Takes to the Skies on PS5, PS4
@Sequel it does look great but really I wanted to say big up to you for your speedball 2 avatar… Now that was a game!
Re: Rumour: PS5 Pro Targeting Potential 2024 Release
Can see the detachable model being the pro but not two separate machines…
I’d be happy with just a ps5 slim
Re: UK Sales Charts: Hogwarts Legacy Immovable While Wo Long Falls 25 Places
@WallyWest definitely. I’m playing through prime again now and has made me want 4 even more! Loving the Metroid love atm…
Re: UK Sales Charts: Hogwarts Legacy Immovable While Wo Long Falls 25 Places
@Neverwild ah ok didn’t realise that!
Re: UK Sales Charts: Hogwarts Legacy Immovable While Wo Long Falls 25 Places
I mean did Wo Long have ANY marketing?
Didn’t even knew it existed until a few weeks ago…
Re: Sony Has Approximately $5 Billion Left for Acquisitions and Investments
I’m just glad they got insomniac sorted. Such a good studio and such a good match for Sony.
Re: Funko Pop Tossing Over $30 Million Worth of Stock into a Landfill
This is disgraceful. I hope at least they try to recycle any materials, packaging, parts etc that they’re able to.
Or as someone else said donate them to kids or whatever.
Re: European Union Likely to Pass Xbox's $69 Billion Buyout of Activision

Re: Reaction: Sony Continues to Fumble the State of Play Format
I didn’t bother watching it after they released the list of what was going to be shown a day or two ago.
I do wonder what they’re thinking at Sony head office and also where are Sony’s games? They used to do e3, gamescom and PSX all in the same year with new first party content!
Re: Microsoft Admits Xbox Game Pass Is Harming Software Sales After All
@themightyant lies or deceit- does it really matter which?
Re: Microsoft Admits Xbox Game Pass Is Harming Software Sales After All
I don’t know how anyone thought gamepass couldn’t cannibalise sales.
More laughable was spencer saying it somehow increased sales haha seriously!
Re: Feature: Exploring Taiwan's Underground Gaming Scene
@Shepherd_Tallon haha had the same thought about sammy, thought this guy in the photos was a terrible imposter! 😂

Re: PS2's Best-Selling Console Crown in Jeopardy As Nintendo Switch Passes PS4

It’s the perfect combo with a PlayStation for me…
Re: Sony Shakes Up Corporate Ladder by Promoting Exec Obsessed with Growth
@nessisonett well said!
The ebb and flow of life exists in business too and corporations seem to forget constant growth is impossible.
They’re pretty stupid for supposedly clever people.
Re: Work Is Underway on the Next Gran Turismo Game
Gran Tourismo: Horizon maybe?
Re: You'll Now Have a 'Much Easier Time' Finding PS5 Consoles, Says Sony
Glad the stock issue has been sorted. Now just waiting for a slim version!
Re: Disappointment as DualSense Edge PS5 Controller Sports Smaller Battery Lasting Six Hours
This is the biggest gripe I’ve had with Sony hardware for years. The DS4 battery was shocking also.
Love my switch pro controller last dozens of hours! Wavebird was the same… Sony sort it out ffs!
Re: Sony Could Skip PS5 Pro for PS6, Says Social Media Scuttlebutt

More interested in it being a slim model and cheaper!
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PS5 Will Officially Release Fall 2023, Sony Confirms
@lacerz totally agree. Insomniac seemed like such a good deal compared to the massive price of bungie. A better studio also imo.
Re: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition (PS5) - The Perfect Excuse to Replay a Masterpiece
@ShogunRok have they improved the terrible looting experience from older gens?

Re: Reaction: Sony Poised to End 2022 without Major Press Conference
