@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.
@KingPev You're probably thinking of Fuse. That and Sunset were only a few games that they developed outside of the PlayStation ecosystem. Insomniac has been linked to PS for years so it's not the same honestly. They also don't have many IPs of their own since Sony owns those. Bethesda on the other hand is much different since MS now owns all those IPs that were also on PlayStation for many years. It's a much bigger blow than Sony's acquisition of Insomniac.
@twitchtvpat According to IGN(if they can be believed), is that they are working on an original game. Hopefully it's true, because I feel it's time they make their own properties to form some type of identity of their own.
@lacerz They have done a pretty good job with the Little Big Planet property, but I don't think it's likely. They would probably cost more than Sony is willing to pay. The upside would be they would also acquire a handful of studios that Sumo owns.
@patronmacabre The only connection that the studio has to Retro is the founders. The studio alone, has no ties. So...not sure how that amounts to "a lot." While a Metroid type of game would be interesting, it's not likely to happen.
MLB The Show is on other consoles because of a deal that Sony and MLB made so that Sony can hold onto the MLB license for video games. That's an entirely different thing. There's no need move the goal post.
@__jamiie "But thanks for getting all defensive and hurt."
Assuming are we? All I said was that is your opinion. There was no anger involved here. So again...how was I defensive? Lol. I think you should look at what you just said and come back and tell me that with a straight face. Tidbit, tidbits, does it matter? Well...maybe to you I guess, but I digress. No my friend, it's not fact just because you say so, but hey, it you want to believe that, by all means. Either way, there was no reason to be so upset that I didn't agree with you. Talk about "hurt." I think I'll just put you on ignore as I don't really care for childish nonsense. Good luck.
@__jamiie Well, that's certainly your opinion, but the PS2 version was quite sufficient enough despite those small tidbits you mentioned. It played well either way.
@ChrisDeku I like your optimism, but Ratchet is not selling 10m lifetime. It just doesn't have that selling power like Spider-Man. I can see it hitting somewhere around 3-5m. That's possible.
@UmaBunda "Hey @get2sammyb , are you going to update this article and correct it?" Not likely considering they probably would have by now. Integrity is rare in journalism these days.
"Because we already know this petition was created by an Xbox fanboy trying to pass off as a PS fan."
I suspect he did and went and posted it anyway for what you mentioned down below as "easy clicks." Even if he didn't know, that doesn't excuse not looking into it first instead of opting to ride the jumping to conclusions train.
"It's crazy to me how some consider themselves journalists and not even take their time to do research, not only that but also refuse to correct themselves."
Well not exactly true as Sammy and company will correct and update when it's actual news that they goofed on. Apparently, click baity posts are excluded in such matters.
" Even worse when they call themselves PS fans but use a fake headline to not only bash on their own community but also gain some easy clicks."
Responsible journalism is hard to come by anymore, so I wouldn't expect much from this site or any other site to be honest.
@Flaming_Kaiser I'm more amused by how he's quiet about it and hasn't once responded to any of the criticism of posting about it. Especially now that it's obvious that it was done to troll the community. He can at least own up to it and apologize for it, but I guess some people feel they are too good for it I suppose. Makes me glad I rarely ever comment these days.
@shonenjump86 Nintendo doesn't own Bayonetta as Sega still holds IP rights. They have publishing rights for 2 and 3, though, but those types of deals have expirations on them and the games will probably end up on other consoles in the future.
@get2sammyb Well the game far as I know was co-produced by Nintendo and Koei Tecmo, so it's not like they have full say on the matter. Not like it's a huge deal for them as the game is not exactly a huge hit outside of Japan.
@RadioHedgeFund Perhaps, but there are many that would prefer to traditional TV route instead. That is how I play my games. Even the classics. Despite what we may think, there is certainly no reason they can't be on other platforms other than PC and mobile.
@RadioHedgeFund Not everyone who has a phone wants to play them on a small device. There is no reason it can't be on PS5/PS4. I suspect it will eventually, but if not, big hit and miss.

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.

Re: Sony: The Pipeline of Games for PS5 Is Just Fantastic
@KingPev I played the demo years back, and wasn't impressed. Was surprised on how underwhelming it was considering it was from Insomniac.
