@Pleiades doubt it a ddr6 nvme costs 300 + graphics card costs 300 minimum. Not including the motherboard /ram . If anything sony are selling it at a loss. It actually does being a lot of new things. Upscaling games to true 4k unlike the fake 4k thats on the ps4 pro and ps5. Along with a lot more games running at 60fps.
Don't think the studio and its ideas are completely dead. It's probably a future strategy to do mobile/handheld gaming and the staff will likely be moved to other areas. Otherwise it be a waste of money
Tbh for me I have very little interest in platform games , played the demo , reminded of og pop games from the late 80's /early 90's. Price was a bit too high for a 15-20 hour game imo
Personally I thought it was meh; didn't really do much different to spiderman 1. . Suits were pointless - mostly just skins at least in spiderman 1 each suit has specific abilities. Miles morales and Peter parker played almost identically. They messed up the bad guys with a terrible story especially venom. Would have been better eith Eddie Brock and gave kraven a decent story not as some homicidal maniac
Awesome game but wish people didn't associate it with persona , it's a completely different gane just like SMT, DevIl summoner, spill hackers etc . Closer to SMT than persona. Love berserk vibes
Anything involving tencent is bad news. The problem is they release broken games and expect full price for it and then take 6-12 months to fix it,; so stopped buying ubisoft games at launch ; also the fact games are £70 -£100 especially with season pass/gold edition and on top of that their games are riddled with microtransactions , nearly as bad as activision
Gamepass - why get a limited fee where there's more potential for more money by actually selling your game + the series S is holding back xbox - tool ages for baldurs gate 3 due to compatibility issues between series S and X
I really hope this is a joke article ; personally want nothing to do with fortnite or predatory live service games that only goal is take every penny from gamers . Learned my lesson from destiny/destiny2
@Shad361 that fair. For the ray tracing upscaling is a big plus for me + 2tb nvme . Sold my launch ps5 so isn't quite a hit. Not to mention it's nearly 4 years old do for it's worth it. Suppose it depends on individual circumstances.
Probably pass on this, don't really like spending all my time on one game. Not the biggest fan of horizon . Quite a lot of j-rpgs this year and next year like ghost of tsushima sequel add assassins creed shadows Id rather play over a live service game + sequel to trails through daybreak
@Digit2021 not really you paid for a service and you've used that service. Even if it's a limited timescale , say 5-10years . You don't get your money back if you paid for a taxi /train and used it. Same idea. As servers cost a lot of money to run and can't be operated indefinitely
I managed to snag a ps5 pro. Missed out on 30th anniversary bundle. Glad in a way as the bundle isn't out of until 21st November costing £950 in the uk and I've sold my launch ps5 for pros 7th November launch.
saw ps5 pros selling on eBay for 4-5k. Absolutely madness 🤣
I don't have an issue with controlling a female character. What I feel is that jin's story is unfinished. Like starting a new story but then scrapping it and stopping less than halfway through. Jin only really beginning after the ending of the first game . It's just a weird strategy . I probably won't buy it straight away
Not surprising tbh after sony buying bungie to help either live service games: in my opinion the worst live service game, destiny where it's the exact same activities for the last almost ten years , would have been better with square enix, finsl fantasy 14 while flawed has really turned its fortunes around. I really hope sony learns from this
Generally I don't mind remasters - apart from the fact naughtydog did a remaster of a remaster and called it a remake . Tbh in my view developers are way too focused on graphics , with a lot of lazy remasters just updating the graohics but the same old stale gameplay -like mafia 1, it looked gorgeous but the ganeplay wouldn't have been out of style 10 years years ago. The same can be said of the flop that was saints row. There's no real effort or innovation in thr game industry. Noone takes risks. Arguably because of the economy. Also the typical consumer does have a clue about technology. The fact the ps4 is coming up for ten years and expecting to pay the same price for the ps5 pro as the ps4 cost; considering the ps4 had HDD and the ps5 uses a special NVME SSD, not including the fact the graphics card is worth between 300-400 alone . Personally I'm selling my og ps5 to cut costs , it's a good deal considering my ps5 is coming up for 4 years
700 isn't very high tbh. I spent a good 3k building a decent pc . Not chance you'll get a decent enough pc for 700 that matches the ps5 ability to have fast loading times
The basic consumer is ignorant about technology. The graphics card alone costs like 500 quid, so its a great deal. Won't be able to get a pc on the same level as the ps5 pro for 700. Day 1 purchase for me. I can sell my og ps5 I've had since launch for 300
I wouldn't pay more than 55 for a standard game , 90 if its a season pass but rarely buy games thst cost about 70 unless it's the trails series limited edition , . I Wouldn't normally pay anything extra above 55. Not really keen on GTA VI especially if it's anything like GTA V. Prefer a long single player campaign like OG san Andreas
Most live service games are there to squeeze money kut of gamers . Sure this particular game has less toxic business practices. However a lot of gamers are sick of the lack of risk taking and constant remakes and remasters. Personally I'm not a fan of playing desthmatch over snd over to rank up . I'd much rather spend time on a single player game than dedicate my free time on a multiplayer game. It just looks like another fortnite clone

@DarthCvrle66 i agree , as microsoft have a track record of closing studios they acquire , aony tend to help studios develop than stagnate
Re: Kadokawa Wants Sony's Full Commitment with Buyout of Entire Company
Better sony than Microsoft or tenecent imo . Also considering sony did a lot to make bloodborne, it would make sense plus increase sonys value
