EVIL-C

Physical whenever possible, unless the price is exorbitantly higher.

A commercial for a game console, with zero games shown. Lol.

Another game/series Aspyr really must port over to modern platforms is Rogue Squadron. ♥

@KayOL77 That was incredibly stupid. Otherwise, Phil is much more competent than Ryan.

We found the Jim Ryan fanboy, it seems. Defend the guy who hates retro games and scoffs at preserving Sony's legacy. Bravo, man. 👏😑

Hahahahaha, Jim Ryan fails again! The gamers have spoken! 😄😄😄

That was an incredibly stupid decision that Sony even flirted with to shut these stores down.

P.S. FIRE RYAN!

Sony does devalue their games very quickly, which doesn't help. I got LOU2 a few months later for 50% off. These days with s-t wages, rising costs of living, $10 added to new game prices, and a personal backlog already a mile long, I'm not buying a whole lot at full price anymore.

@TrueAssassin86x You can't be serious. The Switch was always marketed at Adults. That stereotype hasn't been true since the SNES days. PS are the ones who restrict stuff way more than Nintendo does these days.

@Flaming_Kaiser They're only "complete" until the developer decides to add more content. Streets of Rage 4 being a perfect example. Untitled Goose Game, which wasn't LRG, had the same issue with its co-op mode. Don't fall for the marketing hype, it's never guaranteed.

I Never play online with random dips-ts.

PS5 has dust collectors? 😳

@TrueAssassin86x This is pure fanboyish tribalism! It's a legitimate oversight on the PS3, and should be reported as such so people know information that is TRUE.

@Shinnok789 Hitman is published by their developer, IO Interactive, not Ubisoft.

Day one, day one, day one!

So, yes. 😍😍

@playthedangame Why? Sony deserves all the criticism they get, and then some.

However, Naughty Dog is Sony's best studio, and a PS5 remake of TLOU would be unbelievably incredible.

Well that's a low bar to clear...

Cool. So much for those "complete" limited physical editions, lol. 😋😒

Classic projection example "Oh, we don't have X, therefore it sucks!" Yet goes on to release something on the very platform they smeared. Lol. 😂
I don't game enough to warrent using Gamepass regularly, but it's still an awesome feature, no question.

Sony is so full of s-t.

@RBMango Yeah, seems far more reasonable to pay a lousy $35 than paying for an E3 floor pass + airfare + hotel; that's like 2 grand right there easily.

@2cents Few exclusives and higher prices don't help. I don't have any PS5 games yet either. Waiting for a discount on Spiderman MM.

Jeez Sony, both anti-consumer and anti-partnership practices here. Shameful.

Maybe don't buy it all, ever, is more accurate. 🤔

I hate hearing news like this. Sony taking a massive s-t on its legacy.

Vita: Great hardware, mostly terrible software support. Thankfully Switch solved both it's problems.

Many typical replies from the "Sony can do no wrong" faithful here. I was already pissed enough when Nintendo abandoned their virtual console business model. They were the champions of BWC until the Switch, though I blame that on the media format change.
It wouldn't be so bad if one could buy PS1/2/3 games on PS5 or PS4, but one can't do that either. PS Now and game streaming in general is still far from ideal, even on a decent connection many still have issues with streaming.

Hundreds of legally obtainable classics are about to disappear, which is a sad thought to any real gamer or advocate of preservation.

As time goes on, I will buy less digital content from Sony. This company continues to massively underwhelm and disappoint. Typical Sony and their arrogance when they get back on top.

The original PS3 store, before the relaunch several years later, was both very speedy and easy to find stuff.
Now, Sony has no clue how to design a store or a decent interface.

@thepaulcutts LOL, I immediately thought of MOH Vanguard. What's next, COD: Bad Company? 😂

Jim Ryan is a POS. He's one of the biggest problems Sony has. They should replace him and get someone with a less arrogant, more holistic vision.

@Mostik Switch lite would solve that problem.

The Wii shop shut down. I guess it was inevitable the PS3 would too. Sad to see it go. Lots of good titles on there. The downsides of the all digital future everyone wanted so badly. 😔

@Col_McCafferty Ironically, it's the core audience that is love with Switch. Your narrow-minded projections onto Switch are 100% inaccurate and wrong.
Who made the Switch the success it is? Gamers did. Sure the concept was NIntendo's, but they clearly struck lighting with this concept. People saw the concept, found it appealing and easy to understand, and boom, look how successful it has become. "Only for kids and those who gave up on gaming" Hahaha no. That is complete and total BS fanboyism on your part. You couldn't be more wrong. Made more evident from turning down a free system. Unreal...

The natural evolution of this concept would be to have a base unit at home that can run everything on par with the competition, plus run all or most of that software on a portable, detachable unit as well. If someone makes that hardware concept a reality, good f-ing night competition.

You should be more worried about Sony's complacency and lacking services. They could learn much from Nintendo and Xbox.

That's pretty nice. I don't have any of these.

Reminds me of Use Your Words. Everything quickly devolves into extremely hilarious sex and vulgar jokes. 🤣 😂

If you buy this turd, you deserve to get hosed.

@Machines Same. Launch PS5, zero PS5 games. Too busy with backlog and not giving a f-k to pay these outrageous prices for new releases.

Me to 2K's boss: GET F-ED!

The same will happen quickly with Knockout City, the game everyone hates on. 😉

This was a joke compared to the ND last week, and that wasn't great either. XD At least there's Returnal and Deathloop.

Uncharted 5? 😅♥️🥺

Text...

I've never owned a Ratchet and Clank title, so this is perfect news.

Hehe, it seems Microsoft started a trend. The PC market is too big to ignore. No issues with me.

I'm glad I waited, though as PSVR is locked to one device, a PC VR set is more desirable personally.

@Kidfunkadelic83 Agreed. That was the one fatal flaw with Turok, esp. #2. Otherwise, they are awesome games.

@Gamer83 From 3 weeks ago:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ign.com/articles/bayonetta-3-hideki-kamiya-says-its-safe-to-expect-news-this-year%3famp=1

@Dezzy70 Lol, I guess you missed Sony's original State of Play. 😋🤮

This direct was too RPG heavy for me. Happy to see a release date for NMH3, and Skyward Sword HD is cool; hopefully gets the design improvements it badly needs, like the terrible swimming controls. I would've greatly prefered news on Bayonetta and MP4. 😔

Well, at lest those individuals are bound to be regular...

Warhawk was the first PS3 game I had. It was amazing. Poured a lot of time into it, which I rarely do with online games. It's simplicity and arcade-like feel was it's greatest appeal for me. I'd buy a direct sequel day one.

@Gamer83 There's actually a huge precedent for Sony publishing games on other hardware, it's just not been done in a very long time. And when there's no viable MLB title elsewhere, that's where it really became questionable. I'm not even a sports gamer and I aways found MLB's licensing beyond strange.

Finally now everyone can enjoy MLB titles. It never made sense to be PS exclusive.

PS5 = 1
PS5 games = 0*

*Yay Village demo. 🙂

They reversed their decision, so delete this article. 😂

True, plus I just wanna save more money in general. Literally just completed Snipperclips Plus tonight, and will play Spiderman tomorrow. Backlagg shall fall this year! 🧐⚔

@JLaw1719
This used to be a much larger problem for me. Now over the past 4 years, I'm purposely saying no and buying less (relative to before). Covid also got me into stocks, so now I'm otherwise growing that money instead of backlogging it.
Though I still buy a bit more than I can play. 😜😅

Whatever Sony's best studio does, it'll be worth the wait. ♥

I barely even remember Playlink. 🤔
