IOI

7/10

The game is still outstanding but, being way more expensive, being the second remaster already and not including the multiplayer definitely lowers its score.

@get2sammyb So then what would you do? Just give up on the entire FPS genre? Throw infinite tantrums trying to get regulators to block the merger?

Call of Duty didn’t become the best-selling franchise overnight, obviously a competitor wouldn’t have that level of success on the first try, but as I said, with the right investment and support they definitely have a shot of having a wildly successful FPS franchise even if it doesn’t get to CoD levels on the first try, at least that’s better than give more importance to a third-party franchise instead of their own exclusives.

@get2sammyb Not yet, but with proper investment and support they absolutely can turn any of those franchises into a CoD competitor, for god sake THEY HAVE BUNGIE NOW, they’re totally capable of creating an even better shooter.

It’s time for Sony to stop relying SO MUCH on one franchise alone, it even seems that for them Call of Duty is worth more than all of their exclusives together…

Why does Ubisoft ALWAYS leaks their own games before the official reveal?

And don’t tell me they don’t leak it themselves as this ***** happens EVERY SINGLE TIME, I haven’t seen an Ubisoft event where I didn’t know exactly what I was going to see in the last decade…

@Gloamin Nah it doesn’t really matter it’s just weird that there’re only two real exclusives for the PS5 but soon there’s only going to be Ratchet (two years in the market and only one real exclusive for the system).

I really hope that in the near showcase they move on from the PS4 and focus entirely on PS5-only games coming from PS Studios.

Am I the only one who keeps losing interest in this game every time they show it?

I was so excited at first because I absolutely love the Arkham games, but seeing this doesn’t hype me at all and the art style looks really weird for being a new-gen only game…

I’ll get it when it hits $29.99 not a cent higher.

$199/€199/£180
That’s if they don’t raise it $50 more lol

@Dezzy70 Only two of those games are PS5 exclusives, if you still have a PS4 I don’t think there’s a reason to absolutely get a £480 PS5 plus £70 games, even though Returnal is my GOTY from last year.

It’s been brutal for Japan gamers, the supply has been even more constrained than in any other region, almost two years after launch there’s people who haven’t got the possibility to buy a PS5 and now they’ll have to pay scalper’s prices for it just because they couldn’t get it before, the same applies for all territories but it’s specially bad in Japan.

Just for clarification, they never said it’s coming out “late 2022”, they only said “this winter” which is about the last two weeks of December all the way through March 2023, so I really don’t think it’s coming out this year.

@CWill97 EXACTLY! This doesn’t benefit either PS users and certainly not Xbox users, instead of paying for keeping them off Game Pass just pay for adding them to PS Plus Extra/Premium.

I won’t watch another snorefest hosted by Geoff Keighley…

Strong position after not having a single release this year other than their annual entries and after the debacle of Battlefield 2042? Sure, such a strong position…

They asked for a premium price that no one was willing to pay, but I do think that eventually when the Activision deal is closed Microsoft will at least attempt to acquire EA, in fact, if the Activision scandals didn’t drop their share price significantly Microsoft would’ve acquired EA instead.

Jeez, they actually sound very worried.

@4kgk2 What has he done for Xbox?
He saved the brand after the debacle that was the Xbox One launch, he’s turning the brand into a platform rather than just a console, he’s the one pushing up Game Pass which has become the best value in gaming, he’s slowly transforming Xbox into a first-party powerhouse, etc…

What has Jim Ryan done for PlayStation besides raising game prices, greedy policies across their products and services, closing Japan Studio and being a liar with the whole “we believe in generations” thing?

I get that we’re on a PlayStation blog but we should give credit where credit is due…

Just give the remake to Naughty Dog, they seem really comfortable doing remakes now lol

@BeerIsAwesome Lol don’t be too butthurt about this…

@SuperPotato316 What bothers me is that Naughty Dog, the most prestigious studio in PlayStation or in the whole industry, has spent years developing a remake that nobody asked for, while we’re at least 2 years away from the factions multiplayer and even further away from a proper single-player experience from ND, at this pace we’ll see their next game by the end of the PS5’s generation…

And they still have the nerve to claim this is not a cash-grab…

So sad to see Naughty Dog spending all these resources in the most unnecessary “remake” of all time.

I do think it was a move to avoid butthurt people who would’ve thought it was a douche move to release it the day Starfield was supposed to release.

Premium is disappointing, even worse in regions where it’s called Deluxe and doesn’t include any PS3 games, however Extra is shaping up to be really really good.

The best part is you don’t have to wait! Since it’s already available in PS3, PS4 and PS5 🤣

If an announcement was really planned to take place tomorrow but it was scrapped then it most likely will be delayed to 2023, honestly just announce the damn date, I don’t care if it gets delayed but this waiting for any news is annoying and tiresome.

I’m looking forward to this game but only one month later after launch it’s gonna much cheaper, this is gonna be the exact same situation as Guardians of the Galaxy last year which also launched in October but mid-November it was already at $40 or less.

The fact that they don’t even mention a release year means it’s probably getting delayed to first half of 2023…

@get2sammyb Fortnite is one of kind tho, there’re tons of live service games that have failed over the last couple of years and given Sony’s latest track record I’m not even hopeful.

I know they keep saying “we’re still going to develop amazing single-player experiences” but the truth is that this live service trend is eating up resources that could have been spent in creating more single-player games, instead of having 3-5 of these games we’re going to end up with one or two per year (which already seems to be the trend).

The biggest drawback IMO is using the PAL versions for some games, it literally doesn’t make sense given it was the biggest criticism for the PS Classic some years ago and it’s extremely noticeable (at least for me), all the efforts of having rewind, save states and filters are worthless by using a version that runs at 25 FPS.

Nice, this might sway me into buying the PS5 version instead of the Xbox’s.

This was one of my biggest fears with classic games, the Premium tier keeps looking worse, I think I’m going to stick to the Extra tier.

@RBMango We all said that for The Last of Us and Part 2 turned out to be even better in some regards, I have confidence in Kojima to deliver an even better sequel.

I’m just disappointed that for the last 2 years Naughty Dog (arguably the crown jewel of PS Studios) has been working on a remake that literally NO ONE asked for, instead of working on a new game whether is TLOU Part 3 or a new IP, it just seems like a huge waste of time and resources from the most recognized PS studio…

F***ING YES… For many years Sony had the most amazing E3 conferences and it’s just sad they don’t have anything while Xbox has its showcase and Nintendo its Direct.

I genuinely don’t get their communication strategy since last year and even their last showcase was kinda lackluster with pacing issues, that why I’m voting that a summer showcase isn’t gonna happen, we most likely get a September showcase though.

From now on Square Enix is only the Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts studio…

By far the best PS5 exclusive to this date!

@nessisonett Yes, but UFC was $60 bucks and both Sony and Microsoft only plan to have ads on F2P games.
