@Splat Pretty sure most people didn't find problems in the combat of The Last of Us Pt. 2 game but sure other things though. The combat is universally respected.

Prince of Persia The Lost Crown is simply amazing. Way to early to talk about GotY but Prince of Persia is my GotY anyways. The best Metroidvania since Hollow Knight.
Shout out to Ubisoft for having a GotY for me every ten years.
Rayman Legends in 2014
Prince of Persia in 2024

Looking forward to any Ubisoft publishing game in 2034. Let's goooo.

That'll be first day one game this year. Super excited.

Well, wasn't the whole PS Stars time limited until, well now? When I check my PS Stars on the PS App, it is dated as 1.2024.
I was wondering anyways when Sony would update the PS Stars initiative. Adding some stuff, modifying other things as well. I kind of expected an announcement last year.

Having access to the sales of all first party Playstation games is highly interesting. I wish Sony would be as transparent as Nintendo is in that regard. Seeing Sackboy selling over a million is wild to me.

@NotSoCryptic You better stay updated with the leaks. The very recent ones showing Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart has turnt profit.

@Shad361 Well, your expectations were wrong. According to the same leak it did turn a strong profit.

I don't get it still. Naughty Dog has already done both phenomenally. I've got more than 600 hours into Uncharted 4 MP. I happen to love it's gameplay and found it's MP component the best way to experience the gameplay.
Just do the gameplay of The Last of Us Part 2 and couple it with competitive aspect. No fancy ongoing live service groundbreaking industryshaking world shattering nonsense. Just let me experience that amazing gameplay with a competitive component. What a disaster Naughty Dog has become.

@ChrisDeku That's odd as Remedy games seem to fit Playstations first party portfolio very well.

Portal Boys > Vita Boys don't at me.
Holla at my Portal Boys.

This years Wrap Up is easily the best in terms of interface and style. Kudos to team Sony making this.
What a crazy year I've had. More than 60 games played more than 950 hours apparently into games. I need more hobbies, I guess. 😂 😂

This is actually on my wishlist but my sub runs out this month and I missed the opportunity to get the discounted Black Friday deal. That stings.

Awesome. Time for E4 then.

2024 doesn't seem to be as packed as 2023 unfortunately.
I'm looking for

• The Last of Us Part 2 Upgrade
• Black Myth Wukong
• FF7 Rebirth
• Lost Souls Aside
• Persona 3 Reload
• Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown
• Star Wars Outlaws
• Rise of the Ronin
• Tekken 8
• The Plucky Squire

Damn kinda packed now

@playstation1995 What are you playing at the moment playa? Word up son.

I'm playing Weird West on my PS Portal while catching up on some shows on my TV. Life is good.

@UltimateOtaku91 600k in 3 months equals over 42 million dollars. For a niche game like Returnal, I see why Sony called it a massive game.

@UltimateOtaku91 Returnal was Housemarques most successful game and according to Sony a "mega hit."

@Craigybear91 Fair point. Providing more time to promote it properly makes sense.

Insomniac Games should take a year off. They embarrass their fellow Playstation studios. I'd be very happy getting Marvel's Wolverine in 2025.

@Craigybear91 Elaborate! It's Insomniac Games team of Miles Morales, which came out 2020. It'll be 4 years in development at that point. Could be possible.

I've pre-ordered it. I hope it delivers.

That anniversary content is awesome and would peak by announcing a DLC...

They better have something planned big to keep the momentum going. A showcase would be helpful.

My GotY right there. Congrats to the team of Insomniac. Well deserved.

Please Elon stop that removal. You are already my hero but with that you'd be my everything. Musk 4 ever.

Spider-Man 2 is without a doubt a juggernaut. I'm little bit disappointed that Alan Wake 2 ain't higher though. What an amazing experience is was. Can't wait for the DLCs - for both, Alan Wake 2 and Marvel's Spider-Man 2.
This year is so good it carries its goodness into next year.

That's a bummer. I've been using that feat constantly. It's very convenient. I'll be missing it for sure.

Please God yes! I need that. Give me more of Santa Monicas take of Norse Mythology.
I hope it is true and it to fulfill my fanfiction fantasy of how Atreus brings the lost soul piece for Brok from helheim back to get in good terms with Sindri again.
I NEED MORE!!!!

I've got the Deluxe Edition knowing Remedy is great at its DLCs, looking at the DLCs for Control that is. Game is great. Easy GotY contender.

Yes, I started it today. Finished and platinumed Marvel's Spider-Man 2 after 30 hours and got 2 hours of Alan Wake 2 today. It's really good so far.

My GotY. Which I didn't expect at all based on everything I had seen.
But the gameplay has been outstandingly improved by addition of various gameloops and refined combat with a bunch of new combos, movesets and other stuff and I do not want to spoil.
The story is gripping and engaging with a lot of surprises.
There's so much I could talk about but it would take forever.
Game is amazing and Insomniacs best work by far.

New top 5
1. Marvel's Spider-Man 2
2. Final Fantasy XVI
3. Dead Space
4. Resident Evil 4
5. Hogwarts Legacy

There's 3 times the amount of Switches out there and Marvel's Spider-Man 2 still outsold Mario? Crazy. Spider-Man 2 is a juggernaut.

Of course I am playing it. And according to my friends list - everybody is. Game is outstanding. Insomniac Games easily carrying the Playstation 5 from Sonys first party studios.

Sony missed on a lot of top opportunities, such as Remedy Entertainment, Ready At Dawn, Massive Games and hell even Fromsoftware. Sonys overcaution got em in this "but or die" situation. Their own fault.

Pre-ordered and ready. It has been said plenty of times but this year is phenomenal. I was about to get Lords of the Fallen but figured I couldn't finish it til Spider-Man 2 drops so I'll hold off until I finished Spider-Man 2 and then Alan Wake 2.
2023 babyyyyy

It looks nice. Yet, Sony has barely released Cover Plates for the OG PS5. And I guess, the Slim version will hinder more to come. Definitely very specific issue but I always thought the potential of Cover Plates is infinite. Well...

Naughty Dog is a mismanaged studio. How deep they have fallen.

In the PS3 era they released 5 projects.
4 videogames and 1 DLC.
2 of em were brand new IPs.
3 of em were Game of the Year contenders.
2 of em were Game of the Year winners across multiple outlets.

In the PS4 era, they released 4 projects.
3 of em were videogames and 1 of em was a Remaster.
2 of em were Game of the Year Contenders.
2 of em were Game of the Year winners across multiple outlets.

PS5 era they released 1 friggin Remake and now a Remaster of a 3 years old game?

Naughty Dog is a mismanaged studio

@QuietintheCorner Agree. The last years outputs from Sony has been amazing. Demon's Souls Remake, Miles Morales, Astro, Sackboy, Returnal, Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, Ragnarok, HFW and GT7. And now they're about to top it all with Spider-Man 2. Sony is super mode.

I am very excited. Already pre-ordered and ready.

@ChrisDeku I remember Santa Monica and Guerrila Games moving to a bigger facility, but Sucker Punch is brand new news to me. That's nice to hear. Now it's Housemarque turn. The fourth studio with more support.

@AFCC Alan Wake 2 does, in deed, release in October. A week after Marvel's Spider-Man 2.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and Alan Wake 2 day one.
AC Mirage and Lords of the Fallen on their first price drop when the busyness is less present. I guess, around November / December.
Awesome month for gaming.
Awesome year for gaming.
2023 is amazing.

I said it before and was called gloomster I said it again and was called alarmist and now I'm a say it again
NAUGHTY DOG IS A MISMANAGED STUDIO.

I always liked Big Jimmy. That lack of Acquisitions of studios had always been my main complaint of Playstation. He went to the right direction with acquiring a lot of studios.

"obsessed with growth" sounds bad to me though. Let time tell what that even means.

Is there a split between Playstation and Xbox for Lies of P? It had to be the Playstation Nation to bring this game to the top 3.
Mortal Kombat 1 being number is a sureshot.
Plus, Starfield already out of the top ten? Crazy for "tHe GaMe Of ThE gEnErAtIoN"

I was expecting a State of Play in September anyways because of Spider-Man 2 alone. This gonna be juggernaut, no doubt.
If this State of Play gonna feature any other first party project is unlikely. Why would Sony take off the spotlight that is important for Spider-Man 2. Aside of Helldivers 2, of course. Which, hopefully, does not come out October or November. A December release would be pleasant though.

I have gotten it through PS Plus. But I haven't tried it yet as I'm busy with FFVI Pixel Remaster.
But I'd like to know the split regardless. Even though I do believe you Sammy, the vast majority of them sales gotta come from Switch/PC crowd.

The Greatstation 5 is a killer of beasts that eat monsters for breakfast.
So much anti Playstation nonsense on the internet yet the real world paints a different picture. The usual recall that the internet isn't a real place. Love to see it.

@Powerplay94 What Starfield hype? Do you hang around these echo chambers? If there was any hype, Xbox Series consoles wouldn't be behind Xbox One by 10 percent while Playstation 5 breaks record after record.
