@Deshalu Spider-Man is a bad comparison. Marvel approached Microsoft to develop and they declined.

EDIT: Also, buying a publisher and buying a studio are vastly different. I think its perfectly okay to think one is okay and the other isn't.

@SoulChimera he already refused to play Dying Light 2 because the trophies were broken. I’m guessing now he just never plays it even though there is a sacred symbols Easter egg 🤣

Seems like Harry is for sure Venom.

You could not make a more boring looking King Kong game than this. Honestly such a cool IP with so much possibility and you make an uninspired low budget button masher.

Just lock these comments down....

@Vacuumator just a heads up you can get a little separator tool that makes it super easy for a couple bucks.

@Vacuumator yea maybe not designed to be pop in and pop out but I just went on iFixit and their walkthrough to replace a vita battery is no more complicated than replacing a ps4 hard drive.

You can replace the battery on the Vita can’t you?

@HonestHick they consider GT7 live service as well and that is very much a strong single player game so while they will do some traditional style live service, it’s going to be greatly varied.

It’s sad that the discourse around this game is still so negative. People still argue that the low scoring user reviews were made in good faith when over 18,000 low scoring reviews were put up on meta critic within a few hours of the release…

@PegasusActual93 The HBO name carries so much weight I still can't believe they named their streaming service MAX... and took the HBO brand out of it... you know the name that is synonymous with high quality television.

Also, yes this show was fantastic and deserves the recognition. Succession is great as well but watching corporate stooges act like petty jerks wears on you after a while.

@AgentCooper Enjoy! I thought it was fantastic.

You have to join a game with someone who already has the plat? What a weird glitch...

@Vergil7 I think more people play COD on playstation than any of those other games by a fair amount. Unless I am misreading your statement.

@MikeOrator I legit love that game.

@ILikeStake I don’t get the joke arnt there a lot of new IPs with male leads?

@WallyWest venom looks like an absolute beast in the screenshot released so that would be awesome.

@Stevey_Mac I calculated the hours it would take without a full lobby boosting once and just said nope cannot do it

@rjejr If you question Sony for releasing a streaming only handheld (for apparently $300) you are a switch fanboy. Qlite will only appeal to a small portion of fans and its likely they know that. Seems like something I would use quite a bit but lots of people would get no use out of.

@Stevey_Mac no and the platinum is near impossible.

I don’t know what’s going on in the comment above me but I’m going to get another session in this game before it’s gone. Put a lot of time in it a few years back.

@KaijuKaiser well a huge part of this game is bringing in movie characters. So it makes a lot of sense to have cage in it. Also I thought it worked in Death Stranding although I know that game was devisive.

@OrtadragoonX how about we compromise and do a western war story during the Civil War.

I am all in on TLOU3, but I really want a new IP as well. A western from Naughty Dog would be a dream.

@zimbogamer we all know the remake is the best one.

@glassmusic pretty sure he died almost a decade ago. I’m not sure I would consider it a rip off though.

@KundaliniRising333 strikes me as a detective type game, which I think fits perfect and I am all in for.

@BamBamBaklava89 it’s actually a huge misstep not to include a platinum on a story driven indie title. It draws in a whole separate crowd who are interested and will play for the plat. It’s why I played Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture and I ended up really enjoying that game.

@lolwhatno I'm not sure it matters too much though. Honestly, the game will still probably meet its sales targets.

The only reason not to do a physical release is because they would not sell enough physical copies for it to be considered a worthwhile expense. A large portion of gamers, especially casuals, have switched entirely to digital libraries. I would definitely be considered a "core gamer" based on amount of games purchased and time invested in the hobby, and I have not purchased a physical game since RDR2. There will be a vocal minority that decries Remedy's decision to go digital only, but especially as subscription services get pushed harder in the industry, there will be more and more digital only releases. Won't be long until you see major publishers switching entirely to digital only. Most people seem to value the convenience of digital over the property rights inherent in a physical purchase, and I think thats okay.

@NinjaNicky They are just a meta game. I agree with the comment above about trophies but will also say I just find it fun to try and do everything a game has to offer, and getting a platinum trophy at the end of doing that is a nice bonus to show I mastered the game. That said, not all trophy lists are created equal. For example, I played over 100 of RDR2 since it launched and am only at like 50% of the trophies because the list is crazy while I enjoy some small indie games that give you a platinum just for completing the story.

@KilloWertz maybe I don't remember because the rest of the game was so polished... it is not a game I would ever associate with a buggy release. Especially when compared to the current landscape.

@Andy22385 Same. Other than the "shimmer" this game ran like a dream. If memory serves, that was sorted out quickly as well.

...and for that reason, I'm out.

There will be so many unlockable costumes through gameplay I don't think this is really a big deal. Also the ones locked behind the deluxe edition are fairly ugly.

@GodofCapcom the constant push for new content in MP games has been a net negative for me. If I don’t have time to play for a month and go back and the game has new mechanics and features and modes I have to learn the likelihood of me dropping the game for good skyrockets.

@Green-Bandit I feel the same. Part 1 on ps5 was incredible and I beat it twice and will likely go back a third time in a year or two.

@JSnow2 I am very skeptical of Bungie’s advice on a naughty dog game. I don’t need factions to be some time consuming “play at launch and keep playing or it’s difficult to catch up” type of service game. I just want TLOU multiplayer with story elements and co-op and pvp action. Honestly the worst thing they can do in my opinion is mimic Destiny.

I don't find this distasteful really. I mean I would not buy it but I don't see a problem having a collectible showing the death of a main character.

@Athrum so you are going to steal it?

I know it wouldn't make sense for them to do it... but I really wish there would be another pixel art street fighter game. The most recent versions have just had mostly generic art direction.

@Americansamurai1 I am into that.

@UltimateOtaku91 I would love that but apparently bluepoint is working on a new IP (or bloodbourne 2).

@UltimateOtaku91 They already said they wouldnt return to Jax unfortunately. My hope is a western...

@Magnus_Selene Its a huge bummer for me, but if that means more focus on their next single player project it is worth the sacrifice.

@Magnus_Selene True. But five years between games of the Naughty Dog caliber is no problem haha. When June 2025 comes around we can talk mismanagement 🤣

@Magnus_Selene Didn’t they release their first PS4 game over three years into the consoles lifecycle? And TLOU2 came out at the very end of PS4. I don’t see how that leans toward mismanagement.

@SlipperyFish oh I did it tv side interesting you can do both ways!

@KundaliniRising333 tv side. It’s usually called cec I think. Plug in your tv model to rtings.com they are awesome and walk you through your tv’s optimum set up and include a lot of info on stuff like this.

Lot of people unhappy about this... but now i can sit on the porch and smoke a cigar and stream the ps5 so its a day 1 for me.
