I actually doubt Sony’s IP will be successful on mobile. It’s a different audience.
Even Nintendo has been struggling with games like Dr. Mario that would seem like a great fit for mobile, but ended up doing poorly.
I enjoyed the first game a lot, but played it on PC. How well does a game like this work with a controller? It seems like something that’s easier to play with mouse and keyboard.
Is this the same Matt Casamassina who co-founded IGN? I always liked that guy so I’ll give this the benefit of the doubt for the time being. Seems like a weird idea, though.
I have to admit, I’m on the fence with this one. While I enjoyed Bastion, Transistor left me cold and I decided to skip Pyre as a result of that. Maybe the PS5 reviews will convince me to give it a try when it launches.
I really appreciate the effort Geoff puts into these shows. Well done. Hopefully, he can secure even more exclusive announcements next year at the level of the Elden Ring reveal.
These games may be cheap, but are they actually worth spending time on? There are only so many hours in a day and I find it difficult to justify investing in these games when I could be playing AAA releases. If there’s anything worth playing here, maybe an article could help highlight the best purchases?
I think something interesting could emerge if Sony decided to port some of their PSP or Vita back catalogue to Apple Arcade. The monetization tactics we all hate are not allowed on Arcade... but if the incentive is to go after the billions made by free-to-play games, I guess that’s just wishful thinking on my part.
I must admit I really hated the controls in the original games so these improvements are very good news to me. I may actually have to give the series another go.
I hope we learn what has actually transpired here. This is such an odd scenario that you’d think April Fool’s were at play. Imagine Jim Ryan laughing it up: “I really got Sammy going this year...” 🙂
If the Indiana Jones game turns out great, then that’s probably the one I’ll miss the most. I’ve never had much interest in Bethesda franchises, but I get why they’re a big deal.
I picked the obvious ones: God of War, Horizon, Ratchet & Clank. And I’ll buy all of them day one. But if a new Uncharted appears out of nowhere, then that’ll top my most anticipated list.
Do any games actually support the PS5 camera for anything besides broadcasting to social media? Seems like a bit of a waste to not use it for gameplay (or maybe I’m just too old to appreciate it).
No matter what’s going on here, I just hope a new Uncharted is coming to PS5. I’d even take a remaster of Golden Abyss since it’s the only game in the series I never played.
I have an LG B7 OLED that suffers from horrible burn-in damage, so I really need a new TV, but I’m not sure I want to go with LG again because of this experience 😢

Re: This Is Why PlayStation Wants to Make Smartphone Games
@Medic_Alert
Apple Arcade is different from regular mobile offerings. They don’t allow ads, iap, or other free-to-play tactics.

Re: GTA Publisher Acquires Mobile Giant Zynga for $12.7 Billion
Imagine how much good that kind of money could do in the world if it were spent on something sensible instead 🙄
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Games for January 2022?
Dirt 5 is good, but already in my library. The rest are meh. If you haven’t played Dirt 5, I can definitely recommend the download.
Re: Jurassic World Evolution 2 (PS5) - Dinosaur Park Builder Sequel Delivers
I enjoyed the first game a lot, but played it on PC. How well does a game like this work with a controller? It seems like something that’s easier to play with mouse and keyboard.
Re: Riders Republic (PS5) - Try-Hard Extreme Sports Sandbox Is a Technical Feat
Sadly, the dialogue and tone of this game was such a major turnoff to me that I deleted the demo after just a couple of sessions.
Re: PlayStation Studios: All Sony First-Party Developers and What They're Working On
There are an awful lot of unknowns on that list…

Re: Remastered Uncharted 4, Lost Legacy Collection Adventures to PS5, PC in Early 2022
I played these games more than any other on PS4, so I won’t be picking this up unless it’s a free upgrade or offers something significantly new.
Re: NBA 2K22 Screenshots Drive to the Hoop as Ratings Roll Out
This looks amazing, but I’d rather play NBA Jam.
Re: DIRT 5 Revamps PS5 DualSense Support and 3D Audio in Next Week's Huge Content Update
Great news 🙂
I’m looking forward to this.
Re: Acclaimed Rogue-Like Hades Finally Comes to PS5, PS4 This August
I have to admit, I’m on the fence with this one. While I enjoyed Bastion, Transistor left me cold and I decided to skip Pyre as a result of that.
Maybe the PS5 reviews will convince me to give it a try when it launches.
Re: Talking Point: Was Ubisoft Forward a Show to Remember?
I was disappointed that there was no mention of Beyond Good & Evil 2. The rest pretty much as expected.
Re: Jurassic World Evolution 2 Roars to PS5, PS4 This Year
I enjoyed the first game, so will definitely check out the sequel.
Re: Talking Point: Did Summer Game Fest: Kickoff Live Blow You Away?
I really appreciate the effort Geoff puts into these shows. Well done.
Hopefully, he can secure even more exclusive announcements next year at the level of the Elden Ring reveal.
Re: PS4, PS Vita Games Can Be Purchased for As Little As £0.16/$0.19 on PS Store Right Now
These games may be cheap, but are they actually worth spending time on? There are only so many hours in a day and I find it difficult to justify investing in these games when I could be playing AAA releases.
If there’s anything worth playing here, maybe an article could help highlight the best purchases?
Re: Soapbox: I'm Beyond Excited for PS5's Next-Gen PSVR
Pancake play? I haven’t heard that term before 😁
I’m definitely in the “curious to know more”-camp on next-gen PSVR. Sounds awesome so far.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Games for May 2021?
I was a huge fan of the old Flatout games back in the day, so I’m definitely looking forward to Wreckfest.
Re: Official PlayStation App Racks Up 100 Million Installs on Mobile Devices
Yeah, when the app works, I actually think it’s pretty great that I can buy a game while being away from the console and even queue it for download.
Re: Fallen Knight Is a PS4 Action Platformer with an Intriguing Morality Mechanic
This is also on Apple Arcade. I played it a little when it launched, but didn’t stick with it for long.
Re: Sony Wants to Bring PlayStation's Most Popular Franchises to Smartphones
@ThroughTheIris56
DualShock 4 is actually supported natively on iOS – and they’re adding DualSense support in iOS 14.5

Re: Mass Effect Legendary Edition Details All Kinds of Gameplay Improvements to Combat, Mako, Character Creation, and More
I must admit I really hated the controls in the original games so these improvements are very good news to me. I may actually have to give the series another go.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Games for April 2021?
Nothing for me this month, but I haven’t completed FF7 Remake yet so it’s fine.
Re: Reaction: Sony Said Xbox Game Pass Isn't Sustainable, Then Released One of Its Tentpole Titles into the Service Anyway
I hope we learn what has actually transpired here. This is such an odd scenario that you’d think April Fool’s were at play.

Re: PS Store Spring Sale Goes Live with 500 PS5, PS4 Deals
The PS App really sucks. Most of the time, I’m just looking at a black screen and if I drag down to refresh, the whole thing crashes 😭
Re: Poll: Which Bethesda Franchise Will PS5 Miss the Most?
If the Indiana Jones game turns out great, then that’s probably the one I’ll miss the most. I’ve never had much interest in Bethesda franchises, but I get why they’re a big deal.
Re: KeyWe Is a PS5, PS4 Game About a Post Office Run by Birds
I hope this turns out well. Looks like fun and could be something new to play with family besides Overcooked.
Re: EA Primed to Purchase Codemasters as Take-Two Withdraws Offer
I wouldn’t actually mind a Codemasters developed version of Need for Speed. Could be an interesting comeback for the franchise.
Re: SEGA Europe Teasing 'Something Special' for Its First Livestream of 2021 Tomorrow
Virtua Fighter 6? Not holding my breath, though.
Re: Feature: Our Most Anticipated PS5, PS4 Games of 2021
We’re going to need folders on PS5 pretty soon...
Re: Poll: What's Your Most Anticipated PS5, PS4 Game of 2021?
I picked the obvious ones: God of War, Horizon, Ratchet & Clank. And I’ll buy all of them day one. But if a new Uncharted appears out of nowhere, then that’ll top my most anticipated list.
Re: PS5 Hardware Trailer Is Completely X-Rated

Re: The Game Awards to Feature 12 - 15 New Game Reveals, AAA to Indie
It would be great if one of those announcements is something totally unexpected... like a next-gen Ridge Racer 😄
Re: Feature: Our PS5 Predictions for The Game Awards 2020
Some gameplay footage from God of War: Ragnarok would be pretty sweet 🙂 Even if it’s just a glimpse.
Re: Something Is Amiss with Sony's Secret San Diego Studio
No matter what’s going on here, I just hope a new Uncharted is coming to PS5. I’d even take a remaster of Golden Abyss since it’s the only game in the series I never played.
Re: The Best 4K TVs for PS5
I have an LG B7 OLED that suffers from horrible burn-in damage, so I really need a new TV, but I’m not sure I want to go with LG again because of this experience 😢
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Want to Know About PS5?
Is it a bad idea to put the system in a cabinet? Does it require a lot of air flow and does it exhaust a lot of hot air out of the vents on the back?
