@KawakiisaFraud It's a saturated market to begin with. That and Sony's current culture within their studios will kill it before it even releases. Concord is a cautionary tale.
@twitchtvpat Fair enough. I'm sure even with the current trends of studios, there's bound to be a few that will stand out personally speaking. Time will tell.
@twitchtvpat Not everyone will be on board with the practice, but fair enough. Some do hate it for the sake of hating, while others just get sick of the preachy behavior of studios these days. All a gamer really wants is just a quality game that respects gamers alike.
@QiaraIris They're a compromised company. When they moved SIE to California, the writing was on the wall let alone a red flag of what direction they were going to.
@matekomlosi Sounds like a lot of what you want to believe vs the reality. Lol. Sure, I'd imagine there are plenty of people who are upset of what happened in Last of Us 2, but to pretend that the dislike of their newest title is because of that, is a stretch. Unless you have evidence of that, please cite it. Otherwise, it just appears to be your disdain of those who hate on games you like. Last of Us 2 being a brilliant game is an opinion, regardless whether it's a popular or unpopular one.
@PuppetMaster Clearly you are misinformed. I wasn't talking about Shuhei. I was talking about Sony and their current issues alone. That was what I was agreeing with. Sorry if that wasn't clear in my previous comment but you could also use some restraint and not be so reactionary.
@Orpheus79V I'm not blaming Shuhei. I'm talking about Sony itself. Sorry if I didn't clarify that. Shuhei seems like a good guy and he's better off getting away from the issues that are going on with Sony.
@naruball The words "mansplain" or "femsplain" don't really help either way. Would be more beneficial if everyone just talked like mature adults instead of taking a side.
@KundaliniRising333 Nice to see some common sense. I get people love a certain ecosystem that they've grown attached to, but it's unhealthy to believe nothing is wrong with the industry today. While it is nice that many are seeing it now and calling it out, there are still plenty out there that would rather shut down opinions than debate about it. Being compliant is why these companies push bad practices.
@KidRisky It's sad that it's easy to manipulate people into fighting their losing battle. In the end, consumers win over big corps. If you want consumers to buy your games, then make a good one and lay off the phobes and isms.
@dschons I'd say it's on point. It's a waste of resources that could go into more game development rather than a mid-gen upgrade. If Sony thought the standard PS5 wasn't going to be enough power for what games they want to dish out then why not just have that on hand at launch? It's just another cash grab that gamers get duped into. Kinda like pre-orders.Just my opinion.
@Almost_Ghostly I'm just very to the point. If you see that as a personal attack, then you need to really touch some grass. Just an observation. No, it's not about just the changes of character models that fans like myself don't like, it's the obvious pandering to get DEI/ESG investments. Of course, you can believe what you like, just as I can. That is all there is to say ,and I'll leave it at that.
@Hypoman They're just following current trends. One being that they need to get rid of gender, which is pretty hilarious in itself but it is what it is. Like all trends, they'll fade in time and something else just as tedious will fill the void.
@KaiBrunnenG Most of the time it's best to just stick to the original. Most of these remakes apart from Resident Evil 2 and 4, tend to leave a lot to be desired. With this SH2 remake, it's more of them just chasing after this fictional "modern audience."
@get2sammyb With ESG and DEI creeping into the industry more and more, it doesn''t take much for Capcom to say so especially when investments are involved. It's going to get worse before it gets better.
@Gamer83 They went so balls to the wall with their DEI drivel. It all made sense when you realize that Sweet Baby Inc was involved. It's insane that these so called consultants are hired to simply destroy what would have been a great game.
Give an honest opinion and it gets deleted because their feelings were hurt. So criticism is not allowed apparently to those who run this site, even when it's justified. Just have to agree and go along with the narrative. Sounds a lot like G4TV censoring. I'm done with the bs here. You can delete this too, cause I could give two ***** after I hit "reply."
@Rob_230 Japanese government tends to block foreign companies from buying large companies such as Capcom, Sega or Square as mentioned above. So there's little reason to fear that type of acquisition. If they were to be bought by anyone, it will most certainly be a Japanese conglomerate.
@Eldritch777 Right now it seems to just be rumors. It doesn't have to compete, as it's likely not the same as gamepass. You aren't going to see 1st party launch games on it day one. That cuts into Sony's profits where MS can afford to take losses to bulk up their user base.
@twitchtvpat "I don't care what other people do, but if you buy this game, shame on you!"
That type of backwards way of thinking is why I don't waste my time on people like that. The ignore button certainly comes to good use to avoid toxic people.

Re: Rumour: Sony Paying Close Attention to Handheld Market After PS Portal's Shock Success
I'd rather they spent time and money on new games than a portable. I did enjoy the PSP way back, but those days are over.
Re: Rumour: PS5 Pro Was Allegedly Being Talked About Openly at Gamescom
@dschons Perhaps Sony should invest that money in more games than new hardware. Sounds better to me.

Re: Sony Set to Combine PS Plus and PS Now to Create Xbox Game Pass Competitor on PS5, PS4

Re: Sony Set to Combine PS Plus and PS Now to Create Xbox Game Pass Competitor on PS5, PS4
@Shepherd_Tallon Perhaps they'll give a discount to those who are already subscribed to PS Plus, PSNow or both.
Re: Sony Set to Combine PS Plus and PS Now to Create Xbox Game Pass Competitor on PS5, PS4
@danzoEX I'd chime in that as well. Hard to say what the actual price will be, but it won't be the same as the standard PS Plus price for sure.
Re: Sony Set to Combine PS Plus and PS Now to Create Xbox Game Pass Competitor on PS5, PS4
@Juvenlast PS Plus is already that price and you get plenty for it. You're kidding yourself at that price. If they can manage $20, they'll be fine.
