My reason for physical is simply so I have the option to resell…
When you buy digital you sacrifice 100% of the value. Physical you retain it, partially at least. Also the fact digital is often the same price bugs me when they don’t have the costs involved with physical games.
I can see why publishers want to push digital as they don’t want to lose sales via the second hand market, yet for the user (once again) they lose out.
Also I don’t like the idea of servers being cut off leaving obsolete games in the future.
I never understood why sony couldn’t (or wouldn’t) get close to Nintendo’s wireless controllers. Even the wavebird from 20 years ago wipes the floor with dualsense…
Obviously love the new god if wars but there’s something special about the original style games I love. Would be great to get them all on ps5 in any shape or form.
What a terrible acquisition this turned out to be. Couldn’t believe at the time the amount sony paid and wonder if it was more a knee jerk reaction to MS’s acquisitions.
Sony made an amazing acquisition with insomniac and a terrible one with bungie imo.
$3.6 billion was a ridiculous price in comparison and there’s no way they should have authority over naughty dog etc just because they created halo and destiny. Sony madness at its best.
Technical error my ass! They’re probably testing success rates, click through etc for some advertising plan in the future. Maybe free-to-play games or something. Either that or I’m too cynical!
Bloodborne was my first Fromsoftware game and what I really loved about it was that I totally wasn’t expecting to like it for some reason. Thought I’d just bought it on hype.
Totally loved it and would love a sequel!
Edit: Mario 64 remains my all time favourite just because no game has ever blown me away like that did in the move to 3D. Nintendo nailed it and in its day it was phenomenal.
@number1024 the new chip uses 3nm tech which is a first for any chip and brings power and efficiency gains. I think the 15 pro has 23 hours and the max 29 hours video playback which is considerably better than the 14 pro’s.
@Kidfried I didn’t say the games don’t sell. My point was more along the lines of hundreds of devs pouring their time into these games for Sony then to remain silent.
Im sure they’d much prefer Sony shouting from the rooftops recognising their efforts and hey maybe they’d sell even more if they did.

Re: New Burnout Game Possibly Teased in Developer Tweet

Re: The Day Before Dev Resurfaces, Blames Failure on 'Gold Rush' of Negative Takes
It’s like the pain to acknowledge they are in the wrong is too much to bear so they’re blaming everyone/thing else…

Nice one Phil, so this is in line with your “growing” business yet you’re making people redundant?

For me this was a great pirate game but a terrible assassin’s creed game.

Re: 18 PS5 Predictions for 2024
I feel it’s time for naughty dog to bounce back.
Would love to see some new games from Sonys old IP like Jak or sly or whatever.
Re: Upgraded PS5 Controller with Hugely Improved Battery Life Spotted
This is good news.
I never understood why sony couldn’t (or wouldn’t) get close to Nintendo’s wireless controllers. Even the wavebird from 20 years ago wipes the floor with dualsense…
Re: God of War Trilogy PS5 Remaster Rumours Surface from Suspect Source

Re: Devs Weigh in on 'Disgraceful' Insomniac Games Data Breach
This is shocking but let’s face it anyone on the internet has already passed their personal data unwittingly to any authority that wanted it.
The Orwellian big brother future is now the present sadly.

@Splat agreed sleeping dogs is one of the best GTA games! lol
Re: Talking Point: Is Bungie Really the Right Developer to Aid Sony's Live-Service Push?
Sony made an amazing acquisition with insomniac and a terrible one with bungie imo.
$3.6 billion was a ridiculous price in comparison and there’s no way they should have authority over naughty dog etc just because they created halo and destiny. Sony madness at its best.
Re: Ubisoft Says In-Game Ads in Old Assassin's Creed Titles Were Down to a 'Technical Error'
Technical error my ass! They’re probably testing success rates, click through etc for some advertising plan in the future. Maybe free-to-play games or something. Either that or I’m too cynical!
Re: Black Friday Deal: PS5 Slim Pre-Orders Discounted in the UK For Today Only
Anyone know how much the disc drive is to buy separately in the uk please?

Re: Interest in Destiny 2 Reportedly at an All-Time Low
Sony overlaid massively for bungie imo, especially when compared to the bargain insomniac.
Re: Don't Worry, You Can Still Upgrade the PS5 Slim's SSD
@Flaming_Kaiser ah I’ve missed comparison shots. Will take a look thanks!
Re: Don't Worry, You Can Still Upgrade the PS5 Slim's SSD
So 30% less volume but is it actually any smaller? Could be just misleading marketing hype referring to just the disc drive being removed…
Re: The Last of Us 2 PS5 Remaster Seems to Be Real
Did he change his name to Neil Drunkman?
Re: Demand for PlayStation Portal Sky High in Japan, Pre-Orders Reportedly Sold Out

I miss booth babes in the west. Thanks japan for remaining sane!
Re: Reaction: PlayStation Boss Jim Ryan May Have Been Disliked, But Leaves Big Boots to Fill
“a lack of engagement with enthusiasts”
He obviously did a good job overall but if he and Sony under his leadership had more comms with the community I’m sure he’d have been more liked.
At least he didn’t pretend to be everyone’s friend like Spencer.
Re: Community: Push Square Community's Best Game of All Time Has Been Decided
Bloodborne was my first Fromsoftware game and what I really loved about it was that I totally wasn’t expecting to like it for some reason. Thought I’d just bought it on hype.
Totally loved it and would love a sequel!
Edit: Mario 64 remains my all time favourite just because no game has ever blown me away like that did in the move to 3D. Nintendo nailed it and in its day it was phenomenal.
Re: Xbox Almost Flashed Its Cash At Warner Bros, Sees Nintendo As the Holy Grail
I would literally leave gaming as a pastime if MS bought Nintendo.
Mr spencer it may be good for MS but it would be horrendous for Nintendo to be under your umbrella.
Re: Death Stranding, the PS5, PS4 Game, Is Coming Natively to iPhone 15 Pro
@number1024 the new chip uses 3nm tech which is a first for any chip and brings power and efficiency gains. I think the 15 pro has 23 hours and the max 29 hours video playback which is considerably better than the 14 pro’s.
Re: Community: Push Square Readers Narrow Down Best Game of All Time Vote to Two Classics
I’d probably choose bloodborne here though FF7 was awesome.
For me it’s Mario 64. No game has ever blown me away like that did in the day.
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2's PS5 Recreation of New York City Looks Ridiculous
Wow that does look impressive! Insomniac are on a different level.

Re: Spider-Man 2 Anticipation Mounts with Two New PS5 Images
I wonder if Sonys studios are frustrated with Sonys poor/lack of communication to its fans?
