Live service games seem to be a massive risk. Ok the 5% that are successful make ridiculous coin but the majority it seems just fail and disappear hard
@Futureshark or more like Phil knows exactly what platforms it’s intended for but doesn’t want to answer as he knows it will go against his ”we want all games on all platforms and as many people to play” crap.
PlayStation and Nintendo have got 1st and 2nd solely through their own efforts, IP and hard work. MS should do the same and not “cheat” by buying their way to the top.
These comments from them just make them sound like a spoilt kid not getting their way after their own failures.
This is reporting sales in a very Microsoft manner - “our biggest selling game of all time but we won’t tell you a figure. Instead we’ll tell you how many hours people have played” who cares we want to know sales numbers don’t bait us with meaningless stats.
Edit - that’s a dig at blizzard/MS not you pushsquare!
“ How is Insomniac Games planning to release its third PS5 game since the console launched in 2020 — with a fourth in Marvel's Wolverine — while so many other teams haven't said a thing?”
Have wondered that myself many times and is apparent they are Sony’s biggest development asset.
After the ten year deal is up MS will change its stance without doubt. They knew full well they’d need an olive branch like this to get the deal over the line…
Wow MS’s charm offensive has definitely taken a different turn!
They’re like a spoilt kid that didn’t get their way. Bad-mouthing the UK is a terrible slant to take imo as people may take it to heart.
By all means have an issue with the CMA but don’t blame the “UK” for your business failings MS.
Personally I’m glad the CMA have blocked this. That 10 year COD deal sounded like a fishy way to get the deal over the line then in 10 years guess what… “oh we’ve changed our mind, CoD is now Xbox exclusive…”
I was one of the minority that loved The Order. The fact it was short was a bonus for me having little time to spare for games and the graphics blew me away at the time.

Re: PlayStation Portal Is Sony's PS5 Remote Play Handheld, Priced at $200 / £200
Sorry to be negative but this just seems like a waste in every way possible
Re: Poll: Did You Buy Red Dead Redemption's PS4 Port?
@Ort agreed, this game deserves better.
Re: Hands On: Red Dead Redemption PS4 Port Seems Solid, But Should Be So Much More
Quite like the idea of playing this portably so will pick up on the switch if it runs well enough.
Re: Assassin's Creed Mirage Nowhere Near the Length of Origins, Odyssey, Valhalla
Love this is smaller and shorter. The other games have dragged a bit imo
Re: Where to Pre-Order Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PS5 Console and DualSense Controller
They’ve done a great job with this design-wise but I’m gonna hold out for the pro/slim
Re: New Red Dead Redemption Logo Fuels More Remake Rumours
Would absolutely love this. One of my fav games of the ps3 generation
Re: Insomniac Games May Have a Third AAA PS5 Exclusive in Development
The best acquisition Sony have made imo. Makes the price they paid for bungie look a bargain.
Re: Unlike Recent Assassin's Creeds, There'll Be No DLC or Microtransactions in Mirage
The more I hear about this game the more interested I am!
Re: Sony and Microsoft Sign a 'Binding Agreement' to Keep Call of Duty on PlayStation
“We look forward to a future where players globally have more choice to play their favorite games”
Phil you know cod was on PS before right? He’s so full of ****
Re: Reaction: What Happens to PlayStation if Microsoft Buys Activision Blizzard?
There’s just too many unknowns but I’m pretty sure the ten year deal was MS’s strategy just to get the deal over the line.
Doubt CoD will be available elsewhere or at least have parity after that time is up.
Re: Microsoft Beats US Regulator FTC in Activision Blizzard Buyout Battle
Good for the industry my ass!
Re: Meet the Master Assassin Basim from PS5, PS4's Assassin's Creed Mirage
@Smiffy01 yep 2023 buzz word
Re: Yuji Naka Faces $1.2 Million Fine and Suspended Prison Sentence for Insider Trading
Where there’s money there’s corruption.
Re: Red Dead Redemption Revival Looking More and More Likely as Evidence Mounts
RDR1 was far better than the 2nd for me and would love to replay it with modern graphics. Hope this is true!
Re: Price of Fortnite's V-Bucks Set to Change in Select North American Regions, UK Because Inflation
Just a made up excuse to put the price up
Re: There's Already Concern Over Crash Team Rumble's Future

Re: New Korean Rating for Red Dead Redemption Has Fans Hoping for a Remaster
Much preferred the first game and was one of my fav of that generation so would love a ps5 remaster!
Re: Microsoft's Potential Game Plan in 2020: 'Spend Sony Out of Business'
@PoeticJustice brilliantly said. Echo my thoughts exactly! Kudos to you…
Re: Alan Wake 2's Digital-Only Release Allows for a More Polished Game, Says Remedy
So what you then is delay the game a few weeks until it’s ready and you can release it physical.
It’s very simple developers.
Re: Xbox Boss Wishy-Washy on Whether The Elder Scrolls 6 Will Come to PS6, PS5
@Futureshark or more like Phil knows exactly what platforms it’s intended for but doesn’t want to answer as he knows it will go against his ”we want all games on all platforms and as many people to play” crap.
Re: Xbox Boss Wishy-Washy on Whether The Elder Scrolls 6 Will Come to PS6, PS5
Phil is absolutely full of it. If their acquisition does go through I bet my bottom dollar cod etc will be Xbox exclusive after the 10 year deal.
That’s only in place to convince regulators they’re not being anticompetitive.
Re: "We've Lost the Console Wars," Says Trillion Dollar Underdog Xbox

Re: Sony Eager to Ensure PS Plus Remains Relevant and Offers More Value
If I had the time to play more games I’d subscribe but i unfortunately don’t.
I unsubscribed years ago for that reason but see the value if you can make use of actually playing the games!
Re: There's Growing Concern Over Persona Dev's Metaphor: ReFantazio Being an Xbox Exclusive
It can’t be Xbox exclusive as Phil wants games on as many platforms as possible so everyone can play remember? Lol
Re: Sorry, But Games Are Probably Going to Take Longer Than Ever to Make on PS5
Insomniac don’t follow those rules…
Re: Assassin's Creed Mirage Does Its Best Impression of the Old Games in First Gameplay Demo
Cool it’s like you’re an assassin again!
Re: Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora Brings Sci-Fi and Far Cry Together in Impressive PS5 Gameplay
@Ashcrapper 3 & 5 - sir you have good taste!
Re: Sony Will Not Attend Giant German Convention Gamescom This Year
@IslandLogic spot on!
Re: Sony Will Not Attend Giant German Convention Gamescom This Year
I do miss the halcyon days of PS4 when we got E3, gamescom and PSX all in the same year!
Re: Assassin's Creed Mirage PS5, PS4 Includes a Desaturated Graphics Filter to Match the Look of the Original
Looking forward to this. I hope it has a strong story and set pieces like AC2
Re: Random: Thought PSVR2 Was Expensive? Apple's Vision Pro Is Here to Hold Your Beer
The Vita UI comment is interesting as you could say the vita borrowed from iOS in the first place? Also is the same as Apple Watch.
Re: Random: Thought PSVR2 Was Expensive? Apple's Vision Pro Is Here to Hold Your Beer
To be fair this looks way more advanced than psvr2.
We’ve got a long way to go with pricing though before these devices become mainstream if they do at all.

Re: UK Sales Charts: Street Fighter 6 Tackles the Top 10, But Can't KO Zelda
Let’s just be grateful Nintendo and Sony co-exist and make the different games they do!
Re: The Crew Motorfest PS5 Footage Is Leaking Ahead of Big Reveal
Another conveniently timed “leak”
Imo these leaks are just part of companies marketing plans as they know they get so many hits.
Re: Mini Review: Red Matter 2 (PSVR2) - Soviet Sci-Fi Sequel Makes for an Exquisite Follow-Up
Love that sub title 😂😂
Re: Xbox Wouldn't Shoot Itself in the Foot by Yanking Call of Duty Off PS5, Says EU
The EU using words like “probably” doesn’t fill you with confidence. They basically have no idea!

“ How is Insomniac Games planning to release its third PS5 game since the console launched in 2020 — with a fourth in Marvel's Wolverine — while so many other teams haven't said a thing?”
Have wondered that myself many times and is apparent they are Sony’s biggest development asset.
Re: Poll: How Hyped Are You for the PlayStation Showcase?
Considering we haven’t had a showcase for such a long time, I’m kinda expecting there to be a lot shown off so am pretty hyped!
Re: UK's Regulator Responds to European Commission's Decision to Pass Xbox's Activision Buyout
I agree with the CMA on this one.
After the ten year deal is up MS will change its stance without doubt. They knew full well they’d need an olive branch like this to get the deal over the line…
Re: Not Even Sony's Been Able to Avoid the Enormous Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Hype
If you’re a Nintendo and PlayStation gamer like me - times are good!

Re: PS5 Pro Is '100%' Happening, Says Reliable Report
@Andy22385 true!
Re: PS5 Pro Is '100%' Happening, Says Reliable Report
If a pro comes out surely it’ll be £600+ which imo is ridiculous for a home console…
Re: PlayStation Beats Nintendo, Xbox to Another Sales Milestone
Nintendo and PS all the way for me. Always has been except for a brief hiatus with the 360…

Re: Destiny 3 Begins Trending on Twitter As Fans Are Fed Up with Current Game
The whole bungie purchase by Sony still seems terrible value to me.
Compare that to insomniac which seemed like a bargain.
