@JapaneseSonic More so than a meal and a game - they are both forms of entertainment at least...the point being, why does Sony 'need' to make it online only (if indeed that is the case, we still don't know), why exclude people? It's a slightly less sinister form of DRM that Microsoft, rightly, got crucified for!
@JapaneseSonic It's not really the same thing though is it? If I buy a book and in five years the words disappear? I collect games - not shiny beer coasters...
All this is kind of missing the point, it's not hard for Sony to make it available, give your loyal fan base options is all I'm saying
And just like that it goes from day one to a no buy!! Terrible practice - if at the end of its online life they changed the necessity for online I wouldn't mind so much!! But we all know how this one ends!!
@get2sammyb It would make sense, hoping that a lot of Psvr1 games get updated to use the new controllers, there are a lot of games that never realised their full potential with the Move controllers...either way, can't wait for Psvr2...
Just wondering at the choice of words 'strong send off' and 'last hurrah', is this expected to be the last big game on PSVR? Is PSVR2 imminent? (2022 I guess). Nothing more in the pipeline? Shame if it is...
@Richnj possibly, but if its finished and platinum'd quickly then it may be sold, thus making plenty of second hand games available and losing out on sales...just a thought...
@Kalvort I'm with you on that, just recently had an old friend round and played PES lite and it was so much more enjoyable and unpredictable than fifa...
@get2sammyb I guess they will all have to have something similar as games will drop in price physically on ps4 long before physical ps5 games? Going on past generations anyway...
Cities is great, 2 sim games is a bit much, biggest prob for me is that they are on ps now, why pay for 2 subscriptions? (I use online but could live without it) it's like when sony puts game in a sale and the day after the sale ends it gets put on plus! (Been stung with that twice!!)
Indeed, within a year all the rubber has gone and I have had to use replacements which are never as good, probably should have shelled out on some more expensive ones but after 50quid a pad it's a bit much!!
The company I work for announced record profits last year and two weeks later offered us what was essentially a pay cut, Sony have just announced record numbers of psn customers and given one of the cheapest months ever out in games...that being said I'm not too bothered about the games, I have had a great time with both and hope the few people left to play them will enjoy them!!
