@OldGamer999 but that's because you bought a ps5 only no b*tch about it we all know that LOL.

I see we are in OVEREACTION FRIDAY! Rich Elsen would be proud.

Who exactly build the brand tho? The old guys who played crash and spiro? The old guys who played ratchet and gow? The old guys who played uncharted and infamous? Or the soon to be old guys who played Horizon and Ghost of Tsushima?

We knew for more than 3 years they were making services, we know they cancelled half those services, were they supposed to not release the other half? People expect for Capcom to present a Resident Evil on sony shows every year?

Nah the show was bad but let's don't get it wrong. This isn't a shift, they just don't have anything to show yet and when they finally do either later this year or next year (because their goal is to increase first party revenue for 2025) people will forget about this and will celebrate and act like everything is perfect.

Completely Stellar. Sony let them cook for real.

I t won't be, they literally say new future content like characters will be free, f2p games don't do that.

It's a shame actually because a 5v5 game of this kind most likely doesn't hold a chance with a price tag vs other games like the Marvel game presented in the very same show. S*cks but not every service can be a hit, that's how the industry works, hopefully it gets a playerbase like Paladins or TF2.

One way or another they will end up making an account.

Don't want to? Don't buy the games. Want to review bomb a single player game? You need to but the game first and don't return it LOL. If Sony was desperate for that money the requirement wouldn't be there and "bad" sales (people are going to buy this yes or yes cry rivers included) will help the current strat to not change.

@BusyOlf lol so now it matter what version gets the "attention"? Fighting games sell the most on console but the pc version gets the attention because that community will last the longest. Madden is on pc but all the big tournaments are on console.

What version gets the most attention means nothing.
Porting old games to psv2 now that's actually a good idea.

@UltimateOtaku91 they have realistic expectations so don't worry. There was a difference in how they presented games between the Days gone fiasco and Returnal selling only 500k being a success enough to buy the studio.

They know this won't sell a lot because as you can see there is no enough demographic. If you want to be worried about a studio you can worry about MediaMolecule lol. Those guys were the next in line to execution

This game looks FANTASTIC and it was announced the same year it will the released.

Now I hope all the people who always remember how
-Sony shut down JapanS (even when no one said thank you for keeping the last guardian alive for what felt like a decade)
-How Sony should be more like Nintendo
-How Sony needs smaller games

Actually buy this beautiful game.

This note should be the center of news in this website, not whatever reaction Sammy is going to write.

Wasn't expecting anything and:
-Concord looks like something I can enjoy
-New Dynasty Warriors
-Path of exile
-Astrobot looks nuts

And the most important part Concord and Astrobot are games for this year.

Actually impressed for how visually good this is but gameplay and level design will be everything.

@trev666 You are talking about a console dude not an accessory, portal is an accessory.

No expectations besides me wanting Concord to look fun.

I know I'm in the minority here but I think the fact that they are doing a show for games to be released on 2024 should be celebrated.

Concord and Astrobot are the must for the show because Billbil doesn't miss.

No PS5Pro. That is going to be for the next half of the year (probably september like with the ps4 pro) and I actually expect for the big first party games for 2025 and beyond to be revealed with the pro not in this SoP.

XDEV made a tweet teasing their work is going to be there so a new or existent big partnership is on the way. I wish it won't be another SE game, those guys aren't wort it.

Looking at the fact that Hellblade 2 sold between 60k and 80k copies on steam, whoever is waiting for that on ps5 may have what they want very soon.

@jFug I don't see how art direction makes something lazy but the games you're talking about were made by teams. This game is in the making by just one dev lol so it could be a metroidvania, pixel art game inspired by dark souls and still couldn't be identified as lazy.

@jFug we know of 3 games that will be revealed in june. concord, astrobot and an indie game partnered with ps so is either a show or a big presence at summer games.

This manga deserved way more than the anime they ended up getting.

If this is a ps5 game and not a psvr game then this will be awesome. Let's just forget about the waste that is vr gaming and ride the steamdeck train with a new disposable handheld.

@OldGamer999 then you bought a ps5 only to b*tch about it. I wish to have that kind of spare money LOL.

Genshin is already one of those "too big to fail" franchises like COD. It can't be killed, but that doesn't mean that a very similar game can't make money between Genshin big updates.

@GamingFan4Lyf It's waaay more simple than that dude. MS paid for that version LOL.

That version came out at the time when Xbox wanted to show "they have japanese games too" and somehow cared about Japan. That version can't be updated for PC or PS because SNK counts it as a whole different piece of software, it even has a different publisher than the original. SNK probably didn't invest to port the new version to other systems because they were already working in something else and they aren't that big, also it's unclear if the contract with MS would allow it. It wasn't until the Saudis bought 100% of SNK that they shifted to the idea of reworking not so old games with new multiplayer tech.

But no, it wasn't because how PS works, if that was the case the pc version should support 120, it came out just a couple months before the series x ver but it doesn't.

It's still mind blowing that Ronin is selling more than the Nioh franchise in the same time frame. It's even better than thanks to those numbers they are going to open a new studio.

It's funny that KT and Shift up are growing thanks to their partnership with Sony and then there is Square ... the difference? The public perception. KT has a divisive reputation but those who like KT games buy them for what they are. SE now has a bad reputation so even when the games are good people don't want them.

I liked the announcement for a new animation technology, people can hate as much as they want buy Sony develops very good stuff.

Also in the questions section some japanese dude asked if they think owning original anime IP are as important as PlayStaytion IPs. They didn't answer sh*t lol so basically no they aren't interested in building and animation studio of their own BUT in reality they have been part of the production of some successful anime. Kimetsu no Yaiba may not be animated or owned by Sony but they pay a part and publish lol. Buddy daddies and Lycoris Recoil are animes they also paid for so they may not be interested in their own studio and making their own anime but they made good investments in the department lately.

Ngl when they put the "Game engine" in the presentation I was like "Oh sh*t are they going to release an engine?" and then Unreal appeared and I remembered they own a piece of Epic ...

And they put down the head and said "I'm sorry" to those toxic players then ask for permission to release content LOL.

I really wish they understand the best way to release content is with updates that have dates. Random drops are nice for the people who is playing at that specific time but they don't generate hype and hype is healthy for service games. The reason why Destiny has been thriving for more than a month is because people know they are going to have a big update in June.

I would hate if they drop the Illuminate and literally no one knows it happened because it was a shadow drop.

MS CEO: And then I took it personally.

@tselliot I don't see coop superiority over single player in this game to be honest, is a survivor so the only difference probably is making things faster??? It feels like a lot of situations in the game work better playing solo because they are designed for you to do everything to stay alive. If the game clicks with you I don't see the necessity to even think in playing online, actually is quite the contrary. A lot of people enjoying the game but they are playing in a shared server, they log out and some mofos mess with their things, that can be funny with friend but everything is funny with friends so it doesn't represent the value of coop.

I really thought they wouldn't because if there is a game most people who play vg are up to pay for is COD, $70 each player on pc and xbox .... but hey this is WAY better than being "right" this is history lol. If COD can't make people join gamepass nothing will.

Dogmeat hitting the griddy.

@GKT probably they pay more depending of the player. I don't see why Travis Hunter or Denovan Edwards would accept only $600. They are first/second rounders.

@Bez87 not yet. It's in development by a different team but yeah it could end as just a skin we'll see. Hopefully is good. The monetization plan comes from EA so at least for now it isn't an indicator of how the game plays.

If with realistic they mean realistic lego pieces and not Decima Aloy building LEGO LOL then this is going to look FANTASTIC.

The CEO of MS watching that 4 year old Ghost of Tsushima is selling more than Hellblade 2 on steam:

"So ... when exactly is the ps5 port ready?"

LOL

Gears of War and Halo in a box with a PS5 printed will feel very cheap and yet I would buy it.

I enjoyed the cards mechanic but I understand people were expecting marvel xcom not marvel card game. The thing is if they were expecting "mass appeal" then not even a xcom game would have saved the game from failure. The regular super hero game enjoyer wants action, if you see videos of this game most negative comments are about the turns mechanic not the cards.

I don't really care if it was censorship or not but the way this guy is managing the problem is showing more intelligence and loyalty to his business partners than the freaking Square Enix suit guys have since last year.

(And no the problem isn't going multiplat, the problem is saying a game like Forspoken didn't sell because people aren't buying the ps5 when Forspoken is trash and the ps5 is selling faster than the ps4. Going muliplat is not going to save the boat if they publish another Forspoken, that's for sure).

@Lavishturtle just look at your reaction dude. You have no right to call people pathetic LOL

When this game sold 1 million in one weekend it was already a success.

External firms comparing HD2 sales with Spiderman 2 only based in ps5 disc sales (for both games) put the game as a big success.

12 millions is just fantastic, complete domination in both PSN and Steam.

And the best part? It's a very honest $40 service, smaller games are the solution.

Does this encourage sony for more day one games? Ask Ghost of Tsushima when it asks for a psn id ... That's going to be the final test.

You see SE? Is not that hard to sell games when they are cool LOL.

I think Hermen was the obvious choice because of his positions but a dual CEO is even better because he can concentrate on the studios and use of the ips and nothing else.

He wasn't directly responsible of many things that need to change like the cost of games or the service push so this is actually a good opportunity to see his vision going forward.

New CEOs, first open post about PS "secret" studio, Horizon leaving PS+ extra, Marathon 1 hd free on steam (made by fans but announced by Bungie). It really feels like the showcase is around the corner.

Seems like the perfect time to watch Indie Game the movie again and skip all the Phil Fish scenes (again).

Just in case eurogamer and resetera don't give any credits, @Zuby_Tech (on twitter) has been compiling info about this since last year (and some media sites used that info almost word by word lol). From the tweet of the first guy who said he got a job at sony to work for Jason Blundell to the updates in linkedin of various members of Deviation.

I like the move I mean, if the guy left Deviation and you only wanted to work with Deviation because of him, just recruit the guy and don't waste money in something you don't want. And they did, that represented the fall of deviation. The guy is probably going to make their "cod" so cool I guess lol. Better than buying something that's for sure.

Can't wait for the people who are going to say Sony paid the guy to leave his own studio after a couple months of formation so the studio could die and Sony get the talent ...

@Colt22 you really made me laugh with the "folding" LOL. So true bro ...

Ghost of Tsushima released in 2020, what else happened in 2020? ... maybe the beginning of a two year lock down because of a global pandemic? lol.

Sucker Punch releasing that game before 2026 would be only possible with superb efficiency and I believe they can but why people refuse to take in count the fact that these 300 million projects were delayed for the process of adaptation to working at home?

I like Horizon but between the vr game, horizon 2 and the expansion, the news of the service in the making by guerilla and the mmo by the korean dev I feel already tired of the franchise.

However, the idea of LEGO games about PS ips is something that I would like a lot so this is actually exciting news that may never happen.

Given recent development it looks like it will take some time before pc players understand the company they love to look down to actually makes pretty f*cking awesome games so Sony has to be intelligent and not lose console sales for a cursed promised land, like every Uncharted game warned us about lol.

I don't want PS to waste time in SE games (unless it's a Tactics port!) this SoP/Showcase so hopefully this stays green lol.

Let's see how much people cry when Ghost and this game ask for a psn account now that they include integration with trophies.

@8bitOG believe me bro, before February the Helldivers subreddit was a place of love lol. A small but nice community. Now is filled with cry boys, ipad kids and cod players.

Then he lost his job because he sided with the very same people who were framing AH employees as as*h*les all over reddit two months ago and told them to review bomb the game? Ironic lol.

A "You are fired" meme belongs to the situation. F that guy.

I love Helldivers but I can love it with my friends, I'm done with that reddit full of snowflakes.

I still want to see if MS will put the next COD on gamepass this year, they aren't dumb they know that's A LOT of money people will pay even if the game is trash so if a had to bet I would say they won't but after the bad pr of yesterday maybe they don't have another option. Still I think they won't lol.
