@jrt87 I don’t think it’d matter tbh if they was Korean or Chinese like your example. I defo would have thought it was weird, but there’s still another character thats Japanese.
If it was just Yasuke then 100% i’d be calling it out too, but Naoe is there. So they obviously have some interesting dynamic or story to create with the two that explores the difference in culture or whatever, I don’t know cause haven’t played yet but we’ll see.
I just think this is a whole lot of overblown nonsense about nothing really.
Would I have preferred Naoe alone as a Japanese assassin, sure, but its not a dealbreaker by any means.
People not understanding the importance of live service for PlayStation’s future, and being able to continue making all the amazing 1st party titles is honestly scary.
Not supporting the initiative that will literally fund the current and next generation of games from Naughty Dog, Insomniac, Santa Monica etc.
Its almost as if these people in the PushSquare comments have never read a single article containing Shawn Layden quotes.
No because its not profitable and will kill PlayStation.
Only Xbox cough Microsoft cough can fund such a thing with an unlimited bank account.
GamePass has never been profitable and never will be, its barely sustainable and only exists still because its a product of a broader business goal/mission.
@get2sammyb but the live service will be in your top 10? Because they’ll be your active/ongoing games.
If I want to know information about a specific game, then it makes sense that i’d go to the tile for it no?
Same with anything really, if I want to know news about Call of Duty or Fortnite for example, then i’ll go to the social media/partners accounts for info.
So the same would apply here, I want info on game X, so I go to the tile for game X where i’ll see everything. News, add-ons, tournament info, live streams on Twitch, friends who play, time played, trophies etc

Re: Reaction: PS5 Needs a Price Cut
Price drop is inevitable when the Pro releases.

@Deityjester imagine writing all that just to tell lies.
Re: Oh No, PS Plus Email Spam Has Suddenly Returned
Why is this an issue though?
Like, just delete the email or move it to a folder or whatever. Why do people cry about everything.
Re: Free EA Sports FC 25 Rival UFL Kicks Off on 12th September
Was genuinely a massive pile of turd to play.
As much as FIFA has its flaws, some very significant, no other football game comes close.
Re: Wreckfest 2 Plots a Crash Course with PS5
Played this through PSPlus, really great fun.
Would happily take a sequel.

Thanks to Jason Schreier for giving us the facts rather than the initial report.
Re: Sony Boss Hermen Hulst Allegedly Taking Control of Bungie as Ex-Employees Call for Current CEO to Leave
Ah yes, Jeff Grubb.
Guess we’ll wait for another source to report on this also so we know for sure its true.

Re: Deals: PSVR2 Price Gets a Hefty Cut at Numerous UK Retailers
£250 i’ll bite but this is still too much, especially with the PS5 Pro looming before the end of the fiscal year.
Around £1000 for PS5 Pro, Portal and PSVR2 and i’ll grab them all.
Re: Poll: What Are Your Summer Gaming Habits?
Nothing changes, work is work and occupies the week from wake till 17:00/18:00. Then its time for gaming.
Life with school/college/uni and that summer off is so greatly missed 😭

Would anyone have cared if Yasuke wasn’t black?
Doubt it.
Re: 'PlayStation's Blessed with Marketing Budgets We're Not Able to Enjoy,' Xbox Bigwig Bemoans
But if GamePass is so profitable and successful, why is there no money in the budget for marketing???
Oh yeah thats right, cause it isn’t profitable or successful.
Its only a matter of time before Microsoft pulls the plug on some part of Xbox.

Re: Concord's Early Beta Extended an Extra Day on PS5, PC
@IOI unfortunately its a reality and its something you’ll have to get used to.
Why do you think they’re so desperate for a hit in the live service genre. 15 games in development to release by 2026 it was said at one point.

Re: Preview: Ignore The Haters, Concord Is a Good PS5 Shooter We Can't Wait to Play More Of
@Icey664 well hopefully these games succeed for Sony so you can continue using your wallet for first party games 🙏🏻
Re: Preview: Ignore The Haters, Concord Is a Good PS5 Shooter We Can't Wait to Play More Of
@Icey664 interesting you don’t want to support Sony in trying to raise capital that will continue to fund first party games long into the future.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for July 2024?
Amazing month, something for everyone.
Re: Talking Point: Was Sony Right to Resist Adding PS5 Exclusives to PS Plus Day One?
@Toot1st successful? By what metric, i’ll wait.
Never once has profit been mentioned, ever. Because it never has been profitable and never will be.
Sustainable is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT and doesn’t mean it’s successful.
Cheers Toot 👍🏻

Re: Rumour: Sony's Still Working on PS3 Emulation for PS5
Shotgun blast reporting once again.

I’d get one if it wasn’t the price of a console
Re: As If There Was Any Doubt, a Sequel to the Uncharted Movie Has Been Confirmed
First film was great, will be interesting to see the story of the second.
Whether they follow the games again or drift off for their own thing.

@Danbottomburp honestly mate thank you, finally someone who gets it!
Its like they all want day 1 releases like GamePass so will reject anything but.

Re: Video Game Leaking Culture Has Hit an Embarrassing New Low
Can we include Jeff Grubb in this then?
Cause i’m tired of his shotgun blast “i’ve heard” comments.

Re: PS5 Needs to Do a Better Job of Alerting You to the Things Going on in Your Games
Each game has a news section underneath it does it not?
So you’ll find the news there for each individual game, or am I imagining this?
Re: Xbox Really Wasn't Happy with PlayStation's Call of Duty Marketing Deal
“Slimy” coming from the guy who bought an entire chunk of the gaming industry with the intention of console exclusivity.
This guy is honestly one of the biggest 🔔🔚s in the industry.
Re: Xbox Explains Why It Shuttered Beloved Hi-Fi Rush Developer
By sustainable he means profit, of which GamePass makes none.
So how he can decide Tango needs to go over others is a joke considering HiFi has been their only good game in a long while.
Uncle Phil strikes again, absolute clown.
Re: Mixtape, the Promising Coming of Age Outing, Is Heading to PS5
One of the biggest standouts from the showcase for me, can’t wait to play.
Re: PS Stars Program Seems to Be Offline as Mobile Icon Disappears
I actually enjoyed the service, it got me playing games in my backlog just to redeem silly rewards.
I always funded Helldivers 2 in full from coins collected.
Don’t really understand the criticism it got for a free opt-in service.

Re: Reaction: PS5 Livestreams Are No Longer Speaking to the Fans Who Built the Brand
@weeniebeenie I find the communities lack of patience and faith disturbing
Re: Reaction: PS5 Livestreams Are No Longer Speaking to the Fans Who Built the Brand
People need to control their expectations tbh, its that simple really.
They have a new console to announced soon and have games to fill out the rest of the year (Concord, Astro, 3rd Parties).
Expect a showcase in November/February for a first party blowout.
Re: Sony Removes Naughty Dog Boss Interview Following Complete Misquotes
@Pistolega you didn’t call me a pansy, now you’re just lying to everyone including yourself.
GG. All the best x
Re: PS5, PC Fans Are Trying to Figure Out if Concord Is Free-to-Play
The fact that they promoted this finally and then announced Marvel Rivals almost immediately with a better in the same month was so dumb.
I understand 3rd party relationships but these two games are almost identical, overwatch clones.
Re: PC Players Are Fuming Until Dawn, God of War Ragnarok Appear to Require PSN Logins
Literally a non issue that was hugely overblown cause of the Helldivers situation.
Re: Sony Removes Naughty Dog Boss Interview Following Complete Misquotes
@Pistolega lol, another troll, “Grow up” 💀 maybe we can “let the community decide” on removing your comments? 😂😂
Re: Sony Removes Naughty Dog Boss Interview Following Complete Misquotes
@Pistolega do you have an issue or something 😂😂 like what is this.
Get over yourself councillor its not that deep 💀
Re: Sony Removes Naughty Dog Boss Interview Following Complete Misquotes
@Pistolega not sure what you mean tbh.
Removing the comment gets a little bit of toxic negativity off one thread at least. I’ve wasted no time personally so its alright.
