I'd say you're all toxic. I've browsed these sister sites long enough to see the opposite situations unfold. Oh well, that's business for ya. 😝🤷♂️ Just keep a decent gaming level PC around too and one's set no matter what's announced.
It's time to accept that outside of a few great exclusives, Sony has fallen way behind on keeping up with industry trends, services, communication, making them hardly unique or exciting anymore.
If only there had been a major gaming event in June that showcased various new games that welcomed big companies like Sony and where they could hype up and talk about their projects..... Hmmm 🤔🤔
@Ichiban Metroid looks awesome, Advance Wars 1 & 2 are brilliant titles and the series is back after 11 years. Equating it and WarioWare to mere google play shovelware shows your complete ignorance of both series.
Tell that to fans who love tradeshows like PAX, Fanexpo, Comicon, CES, etc... I happen to like trade shows, and again, if Sony had been there and they had a great show like Xbox or Nintendo, this article wouldn't exist. Pure tribalism.
Skipping E3, eh Ryan? Ryan is a short-sighted PR nightmare, and this writeup is just another apologist piece from PS staff telling you "Sony can do no wrong!". Yuck.
@Steel76 These have been out much longer. Much more time to accumulate crap. Or better idea, just avoid crap games in general, regardless of platform. 💡
@Gravity_Bear If we use Rare again as an example, Nintendo owned the Donkey Kong IP, not Rare, but Rare was given DKC to develop.
Rare then made some original IPs like Jet Force Gemini and Banjo Kazooie exclusively for N64, but when Microsoft acquired Rare, Rare took their original IPs with them. Nintendo couldn't do anything about it. That's why I still classified Rare as a third-party Studio. Rare may have insisted any new IPs they make, they get to retain. Since they controlled 51% ownership, that would have helped their negotiations.
It's all so confusing, but for years I've found the term "Second party developer" silly and misleading.
"Second party" is such a misnomer. Housemarque is a third party studio at the end of the day. They've never exclusively developed for Sony, nor are they owned by them.
Same as with Rare, they were third party. While they developed pretty much exclusively for Nintendo at one time, Nintendo only owned 49% of the studio, not a majority.
Factor 5, largely with Nintendo and PC for many years, were always third party.
The system is barely six months old and people are acting like every single PS5 game for the entire lifespan will be on PS4 as well. I see nothing different during this transition. Typical gaming writers across the industry being hyperbolic over very little. Besides, it's a smarter business move to make these earlier titles cross gen.
Between increased game prices and lack of future announcements, Sony needs to show something cause I couldn't be less excited for PS5 right now, and I've had mine since launch.
Proof yet again to never lock one's self into a digital-only console. That extra $100 is worth the total freedom of going for either dirt cheap discs or digital sales. Win-win. 😎
Funny, as Sammy was originally hyping this extensively months ago, when back then I said the actors looked inaccurate and inauthentic. Partisan brain syndrome, I guess. 🙄
I adore UC and Naughty Dog, but this looks very cheesy.

Hmm, Jade, Ryan and having to cough up £45 for a steam. A trifecta to avoid.

Re: PS5 Game Compression Shrinks Tales of Arise by 20GB
@Nalverus There is a small difference, easily researched. On paper, XSX has 1TB storage. PS5 has 825GB.
Useable space XSX = 802GB
Usable space PS5 = 667GB
Does this matter much? Not in the slightest, as both are tiny.

Horrifying indeed. Looks like porn-quality costumes. 😳😔
Re: Soapbox: GTA: San Andreas Is Still an Open World Classic
The way Sony abandoned PS2 classics on PS4 so quickly, it further foreshadowed Sony's continued abandomnment of their roots.

Switch > Vita.
Re: With the Steam Deck Announced, This Is What a Next-Gen PSP Could Be
Sony would fail in the handheld space again, colossally. Best leave it to those who know what they're doing and actually make an effort to try.

I'm happy this collection exists. 😄
Re: Poll: Does Sony Need a Big PS5 Showcase This Summer?
Yes, desperately. Give reasons to justify having a PS5, especially for those of us who've had it since day 1.

Re: Reaction: E3 Is a Relic Desperately Clinging to Relevancy
@nessisonett Agreed. Salty Sammy dismissing it cause Sony wasn't there. It'd be the opposite id they were.
Re: Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water Haunts PS5, PS4 This Year
@DTfeartheBEARD I can unfortunately see this as getting another LRG hostage release.
Still, awesome to have Fata Frame 5 ported to modern systems.

Definitely not Sony, that's for sure. So lame to skip E3. 😒👎

Re: E3 2021 Timetable: Dates and Times for All Events, Press Conferences, and Live Streams
I'm most excited for Nintendo and Microsoft's show.
@Ken_Kaniff True, it's really silly. No reason to skip E3. Sony's like the spoiled little turd who takes their ball and goes home to pout.

Re: Five Need for Speed Games Pulled from PS Store Permanently
@Residentsteven I'd highly recommend Hot Pursuit 2010 (now Remastered). That's a legit excellent NFS title.
Re: Upcoming PS5, PS4 Games for June and July 2021
@Loftimus Same in Ontario. A regular PS5 game after tax is $101. No f-ing way am I paying that much.
