@AdamNovice
There’s no doubt a rumoured ‘delay’ of a rumoured ‘announcement’ is going to be overblown and negatively looked at as another of a dozen imaginary delays. Gaming ‘news’ these days I can’t 🙄

Oh we r going with date announcement ‘delay’ now because insiders say so?
What a news really.
Yes this is a constructive comment. Maybe just stop with insider ‘news’ when they get proven wrong whatever the reason they give to justify it. In any case that should only be a rumour of little importance. (No matter the importance insiders want to give themselves).

@jrt87
Hi there. Very wise comment. However social media get to be a scape goat these days but can be useful Twitter will give you what you want from it. If you follow serious sources of information or whatever you like that is what you’ll get. It’s just wise not to read the replies and not interact.

@uptownsoul
No I disagree. Even from business perspective it’s best to keep doing what they always have i.e. do their own thing and what is best for the game and ps gamers. When a company starts caring too much about the ‘other’ and keep talking about it or focusing on it then you know they feel insecure and have issues.
I believe there are too many fantasy takes about competitions on the internet. They will release the game when it’s ready and not because of some chimeric grand plan.

I hope they are trying to crush the annoying leakers. The one from YouTube is really a nuisance.
So those real fake rumours make sense.

@Milktastrophe
Except I don’t care about rental subs so I’m just saying there r better ways for those customers to ask better or just not sub to them than complain PS+ essential is too good. Im not defending extralala in any way.

Awesome month. Very happy about it.
To add to what I already said about the rental sub customers, don’t complain the games go the base PS+ permanent library. that’s a non issue. Instead you’d better ask for more recent games as random rental. 😅

‘The decision was made to prevent American players from getting angry’
I must admit I found it funny 😅
(I’m guessing it’s the translation that makes it sound funny)

I have no idea why people are arguing over HFW.
It’s there as a matter of fact. But but if if is all non sense to me haha
It’s not like it matters much.
🤷🏼‍♂️
PS5 availability (therefore sales) still low but hopefully up soon will make a huge difference in sw sales.

@thefourfoldroot1
Yes once again I’d disagree with a few of what you said but I see things differently.
All it comes to is you want extra to be more appealing and it’s great.
I don’t see what you call ‘duplicates’ as a problem though. If anything at worst it’s an early rental access (limited in time in any case) with extra. At worst. It can be more appealing in many others ways you could ask for than preventing duplicates which I think are inevitable (if you want essential to keep being good value) so it’s a lost ‘cause’.
Personally I don’t want online rental services at all 🤷🏼‍♂️
They aren’t appealing to me at all in any way.

Edit
A few edits in brackets for clarity.
Also maybe ask more recent games (which will be ‘duplicates’ too as some point when they old) for extra value instead of old games non issue duplicate.

@thefourfoldroot1
I’m sorry maybe I don’t have enough coffee yet ☕️
‘removes a game from the Extra tier
Duplicates also makes Essential less valuable for anybody who later moves to Extra.’
I see those statement as false. I don’t get it 😅

Extra also includes essential so it’s not removed but added permanently in the library. It makes essential more valuable not the other way round 🤔

You don’t want this game (and some others) to be on essential. That’s the fact. It’s weird to me 😅

You know sometimes people have logic functioning differently in their brain. I get that often with one of my Scottish friend. 🤣

@thefourfoldroot1
I just think your going the wrong way about it. There’s no reason why essential (I hate that name btw) shouldn’t get games that were on higher tier. It’s bound to happen and being permanently in the library makes them more valuable.
So in my view instead of complaining that extra games go to essential it would make more sense to ask more for those higher tier. Not ask less for the lower tier. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@thefourfoldroot1
Hi man
First please understand I’m in no way attacking you for your opinion. I’m for freedom of expression 👍🏻
I’m saying it how I see it. PS+ has always been a good service for your money (despite people moaning every month for no reason). I usually get it very cheap every Black Friday for the next year.
I’ve thought for a long time PS+ could be tempted to do like GP and make the base (almost compulsory) service become very weak and that is what your suggesting.
I see them as different though since you keep the games in your library and it’s not just random rental that will go away.
as far as I’m concerned and probably the majority of PS+ subs the base should keep it up regardless of higher tiers.

@thefourfoldroot1
So basically you want base PS+ to become just as crap as GFG has become on Xbox just to push for higher tier subs.

Oh yes Man of Medan PLEASE!!!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

👎🏻🤢the negativity stirred by gaming sites.👎🏻

11 11 something maybe.

I remember when they basically killed the ongoing show with a single tweet about Insomniac 😅
🔥🔥🔥

24-28 August ? 🤷🏼‍♂️🤔
PlayStation event is probably soon after in September.

@SolaceCreed
It’s £2 now 😅

Not as good as this year. Looking forward to SM2 and the ND mp game. (Also Dead Space and maybe Quantum Error)
I feel we hear the same Summer song every year though.
🎶 ‘Wow next year is going to be lalala’🎶

This is awesome. Please tell me it’s using the DualSense properly.
👍🏻

I’m not really into FF but it’s clear that’s always been a PlayStation thing. 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️
Nobody should be surprised or shocked. It’s not like something was announced and then cancelled. It’s weird that some people bizarrely keep bragging about owning every platform but complain if some games aren’t on one of their devices 🧐. I don’t get it.

@trev666
Indeed.
So far I’m comforted in my fear that they want to deconstruct the original story and characters.
I hope I’m wrong but just a few minor changes gives it a different tone.

Poor Tess. She was beautiful and fierce. She looks so old and tired now.

@I_Go_by_Many_Names
It’s ok man. Tolerate others opinion is exactly the opposite of being fanatics so it’s ok to have different opinions and move on.
You see things differently.

‘I feel good about where we are now …’ is what he said then (in August 2013). What he said for this gen launch line up. What he’s saying. And what he will always say. It’s PR bs and he’s full of it. Facts.
The point of my reply to you was that Spencer was responsible for what happened to xb1 last gen unlike what the press said.

@I_Go_by_Many_Names
No that interview shows he believed in the original vision and then it took him a long time to unbundle Kinect which should have been obvious from the start.
Lack of ‘exclusives’ , poor sales compared to original ambition. I think most people at least admit Xbox one was almost irrelevant by the end.

@I_Go_by_Many_Names
I see you replied even without taking time to read the link but you do you (as you said) Though I’m not fond of using silly cliche trying to look down on people and hinting at being blind. That’s not my intention.
I edited so I repeat in case you missed Spencer made it worse during the course of that generation. I’m sorry but the numbers don’t lie.
Have a lovely day

@I_Go_by_Many_Names
Spencer was fully on board on the original all in one vision. Heck you really believe he would have been the one to announce the price if he didn’t like the product? I’m sorry but it’s a completely out of topic conversation that would take forever to go through.
Free to believe in nowadays cult of him but at least read this article carefully and tell me with a straight face Spencer wasn’t involved and didn’t believe in the original vision he was FORCED later to change trying to fix his own crap and dump Kinect taking credit for the cheques his boss made earlier to get those exclusives in development from third party not that he came like a saviour ‘bringing Xbox back from the brink’ silly tale story for children. He actually made it worse during that generation as it went on.

https://amp.theguardian.com/technology/2013/aug/22/xbox-one-microsoft-gamescom-2013

@I_Go_by_Many_Names
‘the guy has basically brought the Xbox back from the brink’
That’s completely false narrative spread by the press rewriting history.
The positive you mention are questionable and open to debate.
It’s impossible to list all the lies and bad takes he came up with here and it’s probably easily forgotten since not blown out of proportion like they do with Jim Ryan.
Just a question
Who is to blame for Xbox 1 reveal?
Who is to ‘praise’ for drm upturn and actually good launch?
Who is to blame for Xbox 1 under performing last gen?
Who is to praise for the bunch of exclusives they had at beginning of xb1 ?
What about the DRM this gen?
Etc etc.
always the same story. Phil good cult of personality.

Edit
Some latest hypocrisy of his is saying he was frustrated before when his show was full of CG in comparison to Sony (as if he wasn’t to blame)
In 2020 he felt really good after watching Sony show and bragged about hardware advantage and amazing line up they would show in CG

Yes saw this yesterday. Amazing how it reminds me a lot of lemmings but to another level now. Nostalgia 👍🏻

@Shepherd_Tallon
Idk. From gamers maybe. I haven’t seen any change from the media for 8 years regarding their hero.

@nomither6
Case in point haha

@AdamNovice
It’s isn’t just social media. I don’t mind too much the media propaganda for a company but the cult of personality selling Spencer like he’s Moses is really cringe. Unfortunately it works in these times. You see it the saviour only does good stuff but the bad stuff it’s always some obscure source whereas Jim Ryan is the Devil responsible for everything.

🤯
Timed exclusive announcement yay
🎶🎻🎶

@Bleachedsmiles
Better wait for the full game. Kojima isn’t a fool.

@Bleachedsmiles
Thats what I said. Not a big deal 😅
Probably even not exclusive to game pass forever 👀

Since it’s all about the Xbox show here I find funny how every one influenced by the media is wrongly pretending Jim Ryan lies but never even realise how Xbox are lying all the time. ‘All those games are coming to Xbox in the next 12 months’.
You joking. 12 months goes to mid June 2023 🧐😅
It really is a propaganda machine from top to bottom.

I don’t get the fuss anyway. You’ll probably be able to play that game about anywhere anyway (in 2024….maybe) in the way it’s supposed to be played. It’s a cloud game ☁️💨

Oh the score doesn’t matter. It’s always bs one way or another. What I don’t get is the con seen similar to until dawn. I was always planning to wait for a pre owned though.

@Titntin
Oh I agree. I just think it’s too simple to bring up GP every time.(it’s barely related in this case) It s the whole Xbox strategy that is digital focus I think.
(I’m not even throwing any stone. Just reasoning about the facts. Why would people buy a Xbox 1 disc when they have to download the new gen game anyway? Even me I wouldn’t bother if the game wasn’t on the disc)

@Shakybeeves
It’s not always about GP. There’s too much fuss about that. The facts is half Series are digital for one. Second aggressive DRM on Xbox makes disc a lot less appealing. Callisto Protocol I will buy day 1 on disc 👍🏻

@Flaming_Kaiser
I think it’s more that if you like discs it’s more likely your on PlayStation. Xbox is all about digital now. Even with disc they need online check.

@BrotherFilmriss
Starfield reveal was so meh.
It made me sad thinking of how Mass Effect A was bashed. At least the gameplay was fun and it looked more ‘next gen’.

@MidnightDragonDX
Exactly. And it’s more like every other day.
I just made fun of it but …🪓
I understand now this article is an excuse to talk about the Xbox show case. Well it was very meh. Better talk about PlayStation.

@Grumblevolcano
The placeholder date changed from September to December and a few people speculated that means next year. I think that’s where the previous rumour came from and it was ridiculous to pretend speculation = European mysterious serious sources

I just hope it isn’t a forced coop only experience.
Competitive or battle royal would be cool for me.

Nope. Completely pointless. I’ll just check the differences out of curiosity.

Sometimes I’d appreciate some adult accountability. It wouldn’t hurt something like ‘ sorry we jumped the gun on questionable rumours’ and would gain respect from everyone.
This from JS is cool even though that doesn’t guaranty anything. Any game could be pushed back to the next year easily. It’s just not worth it to make headlines about pure speculations.
Again wait for official announcement we all know is soon anyway.

@thefourfoldroot1
Not really. There are priorities. Elden Ring should make you understand how it is for a lot of people.
There’s no way dark souls fans would want to wait even though they have a lot of other games.
