JJ2

Oh btw mr PushSquare. I commented at the time that the title saying Sony and Ms signed an agreement was misleading. It looks like it’s confirmed and that was already mentioned in the verge Spencer only sent a signed letter. (which he called an agreement 🙄) An offer. It’s not a bilateral agreement.

Oh wow!
It’s exceptionally rare that Sony mentions Xbox and publicly comment on them. JR is visibly exasperated by Spencer constant gaslighting. 😅

@riceNpea
‘If I'm using a broken clock to tell the time how…’
Because you wouldn’t.
🤣

I honestly can’t wait for this game. It’s a shame there always must be some kind of drama these days. I don’t think the director meant any harm and he apologised. I often say it can happen to everyone to forget to use their brain once in a while. Be nice people.

I’m not sure why this is news to be honest. (Considering there’s no number)
I don’t think it ever planned to be a launch similar to a brand new game.and definitely not similar to a multiplatform cross gen new game launch. Let me know if that was the plan somehow then that would be just unrealistic expectation.

Edit
It would be more interesting to compare it to TLOU remaster launch sales on PS4 which had also similar controversy from the press calling it a cash grab.

Look when devs focus on one platform in a timed exclusivity people get outraged. But when they work insane hours to satisfy entitled gamers on all platform people get outraged.
They can’t win.
Should have chosen one platform to prioritise in my opinion.

@Enigk
Often it simply means they prioritise a platform and will shift focus on other platforms later. I think a lot of indie devs work this way. That’s what happened with their previous game the medium 🤷🏼‍♂️

Who signs (provides a signed agreement. It doesn’t say it s both party agreement) an ‘agreement’ as vague as ‘several more years’ and for what reason?
🤷🏼‍♂️

Edit
Title is misleading. Where does it state that Sony signed? Spencer says it’s an offer 😅
Source article on the verge says it’s ‘a written letter (from Spencer) to PlayStation head Jim Ryan ‘

@IAmAshCohen17
The most ridiculous part is they are basically saying Ms arrogantly waits for devs to beg to be on GP and are shocked when they find out big bad wolf Sony went to see them and make them an offer Ms didn’t.
It just doesn’t make sense at all.
There is also the notion that all games are supposed to be on GP by default and it’s fishy if they aren’t. It’s just bizarre brain washing.

Edit
Apologies about one above comment that was not appropriate. I meant to edit it but was referring to the attitude of accusing wrongly and didn’t mean to offend anyone.

@AdamNovice
Individuals are free to go on their own propaganda. Social media gives all the tools for everyone to push their own narratives and propaganda. That’s fine. Even on diverse forums like here people do so.
The issue is Ms is supporting numerous console war channels. Then they give PlayStation backhanded compliments. All while going full virtue signalling every where they can. That’s this generation Xbox PR unfortunately.

The confusion around KOTOR R development ‘reports’ maybe related to what’s going on?

It’s great and well deserved !
Shows again that buying a game you really want and enjoy it for as long as you want is not going anywhere and the most sensible way to play a game you like.

Looks like Geoff show is going to be quite interesting.
😅🥂

@KilloWertz
Well I don’t know the man but I don’t take all the tabloids gossips at face value.
That’s how you can easily be caught into a mob mentality.
It’s either that or they go on about idiotic bashing of supposedly ham fisted story telling yadi Yada. Not interested in speculation.
Happy gaming.
I loved his games.

All the stupid crap in the press I’ve read about his games is proof enough to me that a lot of bs is going on to try bash him at any cost.

I understand Ms was crying they cant pay enough for some games to be on gp so that would be a good jester from Sony. 🎪

@KilloWertz
‘As much hate as David Cage rightfully gets,’
Cage eats puppies for breakfast or something?
Haha

I never understand the fuss about a few weeks delay. Oh yea the press blows it out of proportion and then blames gamers usually. Even worse if a few weeks makes it pass over to the following year. Then it’s an even bigger fuss.

this will generate a lot of headlines…lines…lines…

@Xaessya
I think of it as an outer space message from a superior intelligence 🛸😅

@Korgon
The wind that blows is all that anybody knows 😅
A little trailer for gamescom wouldn’t hurt. Don’t take my ‘predictions’ too seriously though 😀

@Korgon
Gamescom.

Spider-Man 2 says yes.

(Got his phone number from my secret source people insider)

Edit
If Sammy says no you can bet we get an announcement next week.

I’m weird that this review makes me want to play it. Haha

@Freakservo
It’s misleading. They stopped updating numbers regularly for PS4 because it’s not worth it being low sales now. Might update the total number down the line.
They still update the numbers for PS5.

No I’m more interested in Venom single player story hopefully.

(Although a couch co op option would be cool)

@WallyWest
Hi man.
Just to be the devils advocate and maybe going the other extreme. Couldn’t we see appear at some point some console clones (mini pc) made in China or wherever ?
I know some devs were going for it not so long ago.
That would seem really bad to me. 😅

@Vergil7
Hi man. Nobody knows the future but I suggest you ask your friends their feeling when Spider-Man 2 and then Wolverine release on PS5.
I guess it’s a matter of priority if you like an high end PC to play games when they are dirt cheap on ps console after a few years.

More than half and nobody knew about it. Kidding. I dont get why it’s ‘news’ on the internet.
Ms changed strategy, not because they wanted to but because they had no choice.

(I know that I’m going to get gremlins on my back for unpopular opinion but that’s after Spencer got such poor result last gen having a huge part of responsibility in nearly killing the console. Yes less than half consoles is poor)

Tbh SM pc port is a good sign that SM2 might actually release on PS5 next year. Just like GOW port on PC is followed by GOWR on PS.
I really don’t mind SM you can get for dirt cheap on PS4 is ported 4 years later by a specialised port studio. That doesn’t take any focus from the creators of SM2.

@Bleachedsmiles
‘people like you ‘ which you insisted on calling fanboy and look down on. Your obviously just trying to trigger pointless crap clearly approving some banter people like ‘me’ ‘earned’. (Because they supposedly ‘mocked’ Xbox).
I told you I couldn’t care less about your fantasies and just replied because I’m a civilised person.
Have a good one spending your time as you enjoy so.
You were funny indeed but not anymore now I must admit.

@Bleachedsmiles
Console war rabbit hole is fascinating when you step back with an adult perspective.
You managed to actually say ‘fanboys’ three times in a single comment seemingly annoyed explaining that Xbox was ‘mocked’ and needed sort of payback which is NOT a fascinating perspective to discuss. I’m prefer just to laugh about it. 😅
Feel free to go about it without involving me though. No problem. I respect freedom of speech and whatever people feel good to talk about.
🎻🙅🏼‍♂️

@Bleachedsmiles
‘Karma’???
Oh you mean console war bs. Hahaha
Yea yea yea ok
Typically projecting calling people ‘fanboi’.
Fascinating topic. Not

@truerbluer
TLOU is a ‘remake’ remaster somewhat similar to uncharted collection. (It’s kind of pointless on PS5). Not really groundbreaking that it’s coming to pc. It’s actually the main interest and I’d say the main reason for it to exist.

@Northern_munkey
Haha your not wrong here.
However the annoying part is the unnecessary condescendence people go on about one another priority. I mean come on. We are all humans and have our own preference. It’s only natural a console gamer wants his platform to be the focus just like if I was only gaming on PC I d like PC to be the focus but then I wouldn’t be on this site for so long. 🤷🏼‍♂️
I don’t know what Push pushes these days but yeah, PlayStation consoles are supposedly the natural platform gamers shouldn’t be ashamed to focus on here. Not fond of the shaming taking place these days.

@Omnistalgic
I understand what your saying but it’s fair to admit things have changed in the last few years. Sony acquired studios specialised in porting games a few years after they launch on consoles. It doesn’t take anymore focus or time from the creators who have still the console customers interest as a priority.
What was spreading resources and unfocused development a couple of years ago is now well organised with PS5 being the main focus.

@MidnightDragonDX
And don’t forget Sony was catching butterflies before so that justifies Ms catching elephants now (according to Ms little helpers) Haha
I had a good laugh with this comment section. I swear I can’t take any of these comments seriously. 🤣

@hugoadan
Haha
I never thought I’d see the day Ms would cry about Sony having to much money and people would feel sorry for little guy Ms vs big money evil Sony 🤣

I mean I realised straightaway that dialog was cringe but then a lot of video games dialog are cringe. Don’t you realise it ? Haha
It’s no big deal.
This game is becoming a target for some reason.

Edit
Jeez I have Lara Croft whining on and on in my ears now again haha
Could have done comedy show about it.

@Enuo
I totally agree. It’s a cycle though. People have short memory but it was the same thing last gen at about this time after the launch of PS4. It’s a time where there was still somewhat competition (like now) and negativity about Sony is very popular for whatever reason. It’s was PS4 has no games, PSN is down for 20 minutes in Kansas, PSVITA is dead etc Competition was still strong at the time even if people now think PS4 was cruising. When you step back you realise it’s all spinning of nothingness. Now of course things evolved and more channels are involved.

I’m still laughing the hardest at people claiming these companies are cool with each other and act like they are Bros and respect each other. Haha
You’ll see them again after game award. Look how they are all cool and fanboi are the evil.

Console warriors are just muppets of PR guys pulling the strings and mass public lapping up fake news and outraged at FUD rumours are just pawns. You’d think they d be aware of the PR guys supporting all these console war channels? Nope. People are so gullible.
Even this site is perfect. It’s completely immune to the internet crap and people spending every minute of their lives promoting a platform. Yeah right haha

I’m still not convinced it’s all legit from some random guys translation of Brazilian sources regarding the Brazilian market which isn’t the same as world wide market anyway.

Ms complaining Sony pays deVelopers to counter them for paying them is RICH.

Of course Sony is spinned as the bad guys in the story.
Anyway would that be a lesson for people claiming console war is only an invention from some nut ‘fanboys’ and the companies top bosses pretending they are so cool towards competition and all?
Of course not. People will always swallow whatever they are told because if it’s everywhere on the internet ‘news’ so it must be true 😅

@get2sammyb
Surely you understood I was making fun of people always complaining. 😅
Anyway I wouldn’t be surprised if they announce a different number later on. It’s common sense. It’s just not updated regularly of course because it’s isnt worth it.

Wait wait. There was that narrative that Sony was going to produce a HUGE amount of PS4s for a while because they greedy and can’t make enough PS5 and other expert narratives like they Uturn on whatever can be Uturned Haha
Oh I know let’s complain they stop reporting the numbers now. 😅

Anyway fantastic machine. My OG PS4 is still fine and was on every day for years.
Here’s to PS5 gen which is even better obviously unless in denial.

@NEStalgia
Exactly it doesn’t make sense. Only console warriors may spin that literally but then who cares about them? Haha
So it’s not an issue

(Nobody using their brain would take it literally)

@Amnesiac
Oh great then. I’m not really following Marvel universe and I mostly dislike the movies (apart from WonderWoman which is about the only character that is better in movies than in comics to my opinion).
I’m just going with childhood memories haha

@NEStalgia
It’s just a misquote from what was already a harmless spin (and therefore somewhat false statement) on the ‘attributed’ meaning in source.
Nobody would take it literally.

‘the success of the PS5 in the UK can be directly attributed to the Horizon Forbidden West bundle at the moment. ‘
VS
‘The rise in fortunes for PS5, apart from the variable that is available stock in any given week, can be attributed to the success of the Horizon Forbidden West Official Bundles ‘

(Loose reporting can often be an issue but not really an issue here)

@Amnesiac
Oh I only mean the origin story my older brother showed me when I was about 10 and that was awesome to me. Would make for a fantastic game / movie and that’s always what I think about just mentioning ‘Marvel’.
I saw it’s on kindle books so it’s not completely erased from history yet 😳
Yes its the original setting I’m talking about. 👍🏻
The story can evolve in some way remaining true to the character.

Edit
It’s a bit like talking about the Silver Surfer. It’s the original awesome setting that matters. New stories can develop from it.

I just wonder why they keep saying Xbox series x/y/z instead of Xbox series. 😅
Anyway, keep going with the silly drama people. The article is telling retailers make their own bundles but everyone only sees what they want to see haha
Dam you Sony and lucifer Jack Ryan forcing you to buy what you secretly desire 👹
