EVIL-C

This should surprise no one after that recent trailer. Would consider for $20.

Loved Until Dawn, but I'll wait for a sale.

@Cutmastavictory Yeah, which I even acknowledged FF14 was cross-play, if you'd bothered to read my response. I also said the odd titles that were, were all coincidently MMOs. Cross-play was an exception that generation, not the rule.

You, however, are choosing the ignore the network-wide crossplay issue; an entirely separate matter. The FF14 matter is done. It was crossplay. I admit it. TWICE. Yet you're still unsatisfied.

However, I'm not wrong that Sony is still causing issues for some publishers. You're the one who refuses to accept that Sony was causing issue, at least as far as Gearbox is concerned. Borderlands 3 still doesn't support cross-play. They had to remove it for certification by Sony. This is well documented, which I cited. You're choosing to ignore the words of Pitchford, not me. https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2021/05/borderlands_3_crossplay_kyboshed_on_ps5_ps4_by_publisher

@Cutmastavictory You've yet to cite anything.

@Cutmastavictory They allowed it, than rescinded, then reverted back after pressure. I'm no fan of Gearbox, but even they are citing issues with Sony at this very moment.
You think Sony can do no wrong, I get it. I'm happy to admit when I'm wrong, but the evidence counters your claims. Sorry to hurt your ego. Personal feelings =/= evidence.

@Floki So, basically some MMOs are the exception. The Dust and EVE examples are titled completely differently, talk about obscure. 😳

@Cutmastavictory Yes, FF14, an MMO. Fine. To which those old Live policies have been removed. https://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/final-fantasy-xiv-xbox-nintendo-switch-port/

There's no question Sony was the last to budge when XB/Switch/PC players began playing together. I love how you can't explain why TTWL's and Borderlands 3 is only again hung up on Sony's systems now. 🤔
As a bonus, as of October 2021, the director still suggests FF14 will release on Xbox. https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2021-10-18-yoshida-positive-about-final-fantasy-14-coming-to-xbox

I have no horse in this race. I don't play nor couldn't care less about what platforms FF14 is on. What I will say though is what you call regurgitating, I call citing evidence and data. Try it some time. Personal feelings =/= evidence.

@thedevilsjester
Ah yeah I forgot FF11. (Not an MMO/FF fan) It's always MMOs, never something like a racer or FPS. 😋
I completely agree with your theory, as it's logical if you're on top, you want to retain everyone and their friends on the same platform. MS has removed those old policies, to their credit, and Sony did relinquish too, and I'm genuinely surprised BL3 is having issues still.
It's definitely hard to implement, but also it's a natural evolution of the industry, and it prolongs a game's lifespan. Thus setting the stage for further DLCs and expansions.

We could even go a step further and mention how even Sony is releasing a lot of their first-party titles on PC now, as is MS, because they know where the rest of the money is. Interesting times.

@Jaz007 Can you cite anything specific?

I've gone back and researched and I suddenly recalled Portal 2 having Steam connectivity.
https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-01-18-portal-2-ps3-steam-cross-platform-play

Otherwise, haven't found anything else.

@Cutmastavictory Crossplay as we define it today, playing against rival systems, did not exist on PS3.

There were a few games that could be played across PS3/4/Vita, but that's still within PSN. That doesn't count within the modern context of cross-play, nor within the citied information from that article which I posted.

Sony was the last holdout on crossplay. That is undeniable. Honestly, I'm surprised the issue is still persisting into the PS5 era, but apparently so.

@Cutmastavictory

No, it's well documented that Sony was against cross play and the lone holdout. They're the only ones requiring compensation in these cases.
The industry is always changing. Gamers were demanding it. That's just the way it is.

The dinosaur game from Capcom that no one asked for... 🤦‍♂️
I can't begin to describe how awful this game looks. Please no one buy this. Send a message to Capcom that Dino Crisis needs to return!

I loved Spyhunter, so this definitely appeals to me. Looks like some silly fun.

@Elodin

If you have an iDevice, it's on Apple Arcade.

@Futureshark Please give the fanboy garbage a rest. You look like a fool. Gears has female leads. Perfect Dark is coming back. Recore has a female lead. Big IPs like Tomb Raider are widely available on XB. And Sony's making their own GamePass equivalent, FYI. The selection is hardly fodder.

Review bombing happens to every platform. That's the price of having a free, open internet. 🤷‍♂️

@Rural-Bandit Unless you can quantify that with hard data, no one can say who is allegedly putting more garbage in the lakes. Personal anecdotes are not scientific nor objective.

@Balosi Way too many assumptions you're making there about digital purchasing trends on 3DS/Wii U, without citing any evidence.

Epic fail on Sony's part. There's no defending any kind of
censorship, yet I expect some here will when it's their team doing the thing they otherwise don't like. I'd get this title elsewhere.

Stop treating your customers like 4YO's, Sony.

@colonelkilgore What? Nintendo has soft core porn on the Switch. Even games like "Bombing *****" is "Bombing Busters" on PS. Sony are the only one's actively censoring games these days. Everyone else doesn't have these issue.

Just goes to show you how dumb and uninformed the average customer is. A shoddy product like this ends up selling 10 + million copies. This will tell Rockstar that they can get away with this garbage again in the future. Zero accountability.

Kudos for the public awareness message.

@Notintogimmickconsol

LOL, get over yourself. All three models play the same games. They're all equally countable. That's like saying don't count PS2 slim consoles, or PS4 Pro. 🙄

"Make a beefy console with a proper normal controller design and better 3rd party support for once." They did that. It was called GameCube. People were told by mainstream gaming media to hate it because it was purple (and black) and had a handle, so they did.

I got the first for free. I got the second for free. I will likely get the third for free eventually. Not spending a Nickle on this crap.

@sanderson72 Hence why a Switch makes perfect sense. Sony ain't never making another handheld. Switch is everything Vita dreamed of being and more. 😉👑

Ugh, there goes a big reason I'd even pick up PSVR 2: to try all the interesting stuff from PSVR! No BWC, no buy.

It's just Ubisoft. No big loss.

@Would_you_kindly

I hope so. Would like to check out a few PSVR exclusives, but also play stuff like Half Life Alyx on PC with 1 set of gear. 🤔

If it's compatible with the PC, then this would be truly excellent. But that's unlikely. 😔 I sure as hell won't buy 2 headsets for 2 platforms.

@Gaia093 Haha same, he's an enjoyable presence to have around, as award shows are generally too long and boring. ITT was worthy of the win. 🙂

Another year, another example of the ignorant masses eating up the lamest annual cookie-cutter garbage time and again. 🤮

@TommyNL Hardware sales have no direct indication of what services will be popular or unpopular. A Gamepass-type service would make PS even more popular with gamers. Don't kid yourself otherwise.

Took Sony long enough to catch up. Xbox has been owning them in services for years.

@Rural-Bandit YW, I'm confident you'll enjoy both. 🙂 I wish I had time to play the Halo multiplayer and Metroid Dread. I'll do both once the holidays are here, lol

@Rural-Bandit Definitely play RE7 before 8, as VIllage is a direct sequel with the same protagonist and many references to 7. Both are outstanding titles.

@kyleforrester87 Technically that would be a re-remake of MGS.

@kingbreww 🧐 🧐 🧐🤷‍♂️.

I'm thankful for the great variety of excellent games available, from the smallest indie studio to the biggest juggernaut 200$ million dollar productions. There's truly something for everyone. As well as the slowly but surely increasing legitimization of gaming in the mainstream narrative.

@kingbreww

Wow. Expand your bubble.

Godfall and Gearbox are garbage.

Well deserved. It's one of 2021's best titles.

Trophies and achievements are, and have always been, completely useless and uncompelling to get.

This is the kind of 💩 game "journalists" should be calling out publicly.

Forgot that it even exists. Yay for sponsored trash advertising.... 😩

Boohoo, it's Sony's fault here, not Rockstar, for not making BWC possible with PS3 games. GTA4 360 is compatible on XBone and Series X.

@Icey664 Me too, on both accounts. 🙂

@Stocksy
Xbox is doing just fine. Gloating is unwarranted. 🤔

@Icey664
There's Demon Souls and Returnal, I think? I got my PS5 on day 1, and yet I own zero PS5 games. 🤦‍♂️

Couldn't disagree more. Terrible review.

This couldn't be farther from Uncharted than it is. My God... Terrible. 🤦‍♂️

Glad players ignored the Pushsquare review and picked up Alan Wake. 😜 It's a great title.

@amenohi Like I said, different platforms can have different builds. The fact this is also coming to everything is awesome. Remember how old and dated these games look already. Temper your expectations a bit.

Being Ubisoft, it'll be 50% off by Christmas.

Edit: I was right, lol. 🤣

@amenohi Not at all. Different builds for different platforms.

Bulls-t a 6, Alan Wake is a great horror game. I played it just a couple years ago, long after the hype was gone. It was great. Ridiculous review.

Jim Ryan, the worst Sony suit. 🤮 🤮 🤮
