IOI

We’ve only seen a PS3-looking game blowing up cars and they expect us to preorder it? Lmao

Producers of this film are the ones from Madame Web, Kraven, Venom and pretty much every crappy Sony Pictures production that has existed.

Still baffled why Nintendo went with them…

@Dalamar Oh come on, are you really saying that GTA IV or San Andreas have “mediocre” or even just bad writing? That’s a classic take on hating on something just because everybody else likes it.

Even GTA V while not having as strong narrative as the previous ones is still pretty good by today’s standards, are you next going to say that RDR2’s writing sucks too?

Sony really has easy money remastering most of the PS3 library as many of those games would definitely find new audiences on modern consoles and yet they choose to remaster already available to play titles released in 2019-2020.

They 100% would block games from that Xbox PC device, if Steam doesn’t allow it I can see Sony coming out with their own launcher that won’t be compatible with the PC Xbox and only launch new games there.

I wouldn’t even be surprised if Sony started to delist their games off Steam and be exclusive for their launcher, it would gaslight the PC audience but Sony has been that radical.

Lol this is kinda being treated as the true launch of the game.

@DennisReynolds Only 6-7 hours in and there’s just no way this game sits below an 80, I’d even say it’s a 90-95 so far, looks impressive, gameplay is fun, story is interesting. Best AC game since Origins imo.

Good, I’m loving it so far, already way more invested than I was for Odyssey, Valhalla and Mirage.

People who are getting mad or even straight-up furious about a good game having good reception just have a sad life…

Make your bets, will this be closed before or after they release a game?

@LiamCroft Sony went all out with hardware for the 30th anniversary, Nintendo does it sometimes every 5-10 years for their franchises, hell even Xbox celebrated their 20th anniversary in 2021 with a good looking console and a new Halo which also had its 20th anniversary.

I know it’s not mandatory to celebrate it that way but it’s a nice thing to do and Sony pretty much never does it for their games, it wasn’t an impossible expectation to get some remasters for such a big anniversary, more so with so many of them we’ve got recently.

And btw, what’s stopping them to just make the first 2 games available via PS2 emulation / PS+ Premium? I’d buy them in a heartbeat 480p and all.

Beyond disappointing for the 20th anniversary of arguably PlayStation’s biggest franchise.

At the very, very least they should’ve put OG PS2 games on PS+ Premium, but of course the best celebration would’ve been a Greek saga collection remastered for PS5.

This is why I bought the Pro tbh, PSSR will only keep getting better and new games should look and perform noticeably better.

This just became my most expected game for the whole year (at least dates ones lol).

This game on the Pro is gonna look CRAZY.

@HMazzy111 There’s scenes for the full 3 days of Ellie’s journey, we’re definitely getting -that- moment this season, I’d say in the first couple episodes and they’d justify it in the same way it happened in the game as for some story elements you already need to be hurt by -that- so scenes carry emotional baggage, like Ellie playing the guitar wouldn’t hit the same if you didn’t experience -that- earlier.

Based on what they shown they’re following the pacing structure of the game, telling Ellie’s pov in Season 2 until the theater scene (guaranteed season finale) with some flashbacks thrown in there and following Abby’s pov in Season 3, exactly like the game.

They’ve talked about season 4 but I’m not sure the 3-hour epilogue for Part 2 is enough for an entire season, it could be wrapped up in a couple episodes at most imo.

Spoiler: They don’t exist and were only rumored by some grifters to have some clicks.

Ironically It’s even more likely a remaster of the 2018 game than any other.

So no new game but still milking the franchise huh?

This would honestly kinda ruin the story for Part 2, it’d confirm that story was aimless in some bits as many storylines were left inconclusive and direction for some of them were baffling at best, and I’m not asking for a happy ending but there’s a chance to tie up all storylines in another game, if they really can’t then they shouldn’t have made Part 2 the way they did.

@AdamNovice Literally the reason I bought an Xbox One back in the day, just to play GTA 4 and RDR 1 decently as they ran pretty bad on PS3, it’s awful to admit but I’d take another low effort port at 60 FPS just like they did with RDR1.

Say what you want about PS players, we do buy games lol

Lmao Microsoft Gaming desperately needs money, $60 standard and even early-access…

Surprisingly good value.

This industry is just f*cked. What incentives do any developer have to actually deliver a good product? Either way they’re being laid off.

Honestly I couldn’t care less, just give me a great campaign in a fun sandbox.

“One which paints PlayStation as a complacent competitor, coasting while it soaks up the rewards of its rival’s imploding console business”

Is the statement wrong tho?
I understand that moving forward there’ll be no way to compete with Microsoft’s 30+ studios but isn’t Sony being complacent right now launching $700 consoles and having more remasters and remakes than new games?

And sorry but this is the second article in a few days that reads as “stop criticizing Sony please!”

Phil -bit my own tongue- Spencer

Tides of Annihilation and Saros. Tho I feel it should’ve been revealed until gameplay was ready to show, a cinematic does nothing for me.

My counter guess is that it gets cancelled this year.

@ButterySmooth30FPS Thanks for exemplifying it, there’s lots of comments doing valid criticisms in this very thread, yet you invalidate it as ‘doomerism’ and ‘trolling’, exactly my point.

I honestly find it more draining that some people, including who wrote this piece, just can’t take ANY criticism to the brand, they just feel the constant need to say you’re wrong and you should be grateful for what you saw instead of just accepting different opinions, like what’s the point of this article? It’s only creating more and more discourse between fans, because we always seem to be wrong, never ever Sony.

Looks just incredible and it’s the studio’s first game! Asian devs are carrying this generation hard…

@ChrisDeku Fair answer to a dumb statement but there’s really no comparison, Ninja Gaiden 2 is from 2008 and not even a first-party, Days Gone is from 2019 and it’s just the latest in a dozen of unnecessary remasters.

They have the whole catalogue of PS3 games to remaster as most games never got released elsewhere but yet they’re remastering games already playable on PS5 and even already enhanced with some patch, after such many of them is laughable now.

This means GTA 6 either comes out in November or in 2026. My bet is 2026 sadly.

I honestly think they surpassed expectations because they gained some if not many Xbox customers, not necessarily caused of their multiplatform push (maybe it had to do a bit), but mostly because there’s just no Xbox consoles available in many markets outside the US plus I didn’t see one single deal or sale for the consoles.
PX and other media reported a big scarcity in the UK during the holiday months, plus you can find comments from pretty much everywhere saying the same thing, I’ve seen it personally here, I could even get a PS5 Slim with disc for much, much cheaper than a digital Series X.

Casual customers, or parents looking for a gift who have no loyalty to any brand will see that one option is unavailable or more pricey and they’ll just buy the other one, plus it’s now clear that PS5 is the most attractive console for both casuals and more dedicated fans, the platform is rock solid right now even with all the turmoil around live-service failures.

@sanderson72 You can still do a general backup that includes saves, I’ve been doing every couple of months just for precaution, it takes some minutes but much better than paying $80 annually at the very least.

Had PS Plus since 2015, upgraded to Deluxe for 2022 and 2023 but since the price hike I’m out, can’t even justify paying for Essential.

@Dreman99 At first I thought it was a direct sequel as the suit is kinda similar and the protagonist was talking about finding someone which I thought was Selene.

Why this wasn’t on yesterday’s SoP!? It’d have instantly become a highlight, I really don’t get Sony sometimes…

@Loamy Don’t you remember where Ghost of Yotei was announced? At State of Play.
Where did Sony debut gameplay for God of War Ragnarok, Helldivers 2 and even Concord? At State of Play.

In 2020-2021 the distinction existed but it’s been a long time since first-party games do show up more often than not in State of Play, plus we haven’t got a good showcase since freaking 2021! Stop excusing this embarrassment.

Honestly it was the best announcement out of today.

I’m beyond excited for a new game from Housemarque but revealing one of their games, which are 100% gameplay with a CGI trailer is definitely not doing them any justice.

Poor, the only thing that saved it from being an utter disaster was Housemarque’s new game.

Seriously, just 1 PS Studio announcement plus yet another unnecessary remaster (not the one we all wanted) is so disappointing.

Also, it’d be beyond ironic if this launches on Switch but not Xbox, when all Xbox games are being ported to PS5.

Please don’t let this be the highlight of the event…

Visually it’s going to be stunning in a PS5 Pro, but the game itself is just boring.

I really wish the recently rumored God of War Greek collection remastered is real, that plus some new look at DS2 or Yotei would be more than enough for a great State of Play.

I don’t think there’s still much left to do in the Greek mythology, it already showed in Ascension they were running out of things to do and story to tell, I’d honestly prefer having remasters for the Greek saga (with PSP games please) and set the new entry for a new direction entirely.

It also raises serious questions about Sony’s increasingly lack of communication, they’re even giving away 5 days for PS+ but no explanation whatsoever.

Ok, now I’m really having 2011 flashbacks.
I believe it hasn’t been down that long since that time.
