2025 begins the same way 2024 ended.

Asian developers are rising up while the West is literally burning.

@LifeGirl

"Sony will slap this woman's face on absolutely everything."

Pretty much that

If the Lego game and the remaster showed one thing, it's that this IP has no future at all, no matter how many times Sony (or rather Hermen) tries to force Horizon on people.

Also, let's not forget that Aloy is another Toxic Girl boss. and apart from the Resetera bubble, the majority of people have absolutely no interest in this crap anymore.

The sooner Totokoi finally cleans up, the better. And with the exception of God of War, all modern Sony IPs are money burners anyway.

will be just as successful as the HZD Remaster and the Lego game.😂

Will I really see the return of Jak and Daxter? I want to believe it, but I've waited so many times in the past and at some point I stopped giving myself false hope.

Furthermore, all of the key developers who worked on it back then have long since left ND.

On the other hand, Sony is also forced to focus on smaller titles again now that the AAA bubble has burst and the next million flops are already guaranteed.

Apart from a sales milestone report (probably 75 Mio), you really shouldn't expect any PS5 news at CES.

@RamboMike

"But I have a feeling they’ll still outsell the PS5 in the next 3-4 years."

LMAO without GTA 6 and a second Covid lockdown, that's virtually impossible.

It is precisely this massive arrogance to believe that Nintendo has already won why the Switch 2 is more likely to fail.

As with the Wii or the NDS, Nintendo won't be able to convince casuals to get the successor.

That has always been the case and will not change. The dream of you Nintendo fanboys that Nintendo pushes Sony out of the market will remain a dream.

Nintendo fanboys and their incredibly unrealistic expectations of the hardware... that was the case with the WiiU, continued with the Switch and will continue now.

That rude awakening will definitely be wonderful again. If it turns out that a handelheld doesn't have the same performance as a PS5.

I expect worse results than the Series S.

Yeah, Hermen then good luck. Fairgame will be the next flop. 😂🤣

I don't feel like commenting on this topic anymore. because I see again how comments are being diligently deleted here....

The elephant in the room is still being ignored and people are instead looking for other excuses as to why so many games flopped. I guarantee you it will continue next year.

and Naughty Dog has earned this reputation itself.

and to this day the PS version runs like dog *****. like pretty much all SE games.

Definitely my GOTY with Astro Bot and MUCH BETTER than Rebirth!

In contrast to Rebirth, SB was much better optimized for the PS5. It's a shame that a mobile developer shows a AAA studio how to properly optimize a game for the PS5.

of course not. But it's easier to blame Sony and the PS5 than to recognize that the Final Fantasy brand isn't nearly as popular as the internet would like to believe. I hope Sony has learned their lesson and won't pay SE a penny more.

I won't believe that until I finally see Sly 5 and Jak 4.

Sony has hit the highest highs and the lowest lows this year.

The industry will definitely change...... and I am optimistic that it will be for the better. So many games have flopped this year when many were sure that it would be a guaranteed success. but the opposite was the case.

I'm excited to see what awaits us next year.

@Herculean

that was because of Bungie and Lego. and the Horizon game wasn't even released for the Xbox...

If From doesn't insist 100% on being allowed to continue developing games for the Xbox (and they won't) then it's over Fromsoftware games for the Xbox.

@IOI

that is absolutely certain. Fromsoftware will become SIEs new prestige studio.

Hahahaha Concord is alive

If only PC gamers would spend so much energy complaining about the fact that on Steam you only buy a license and you basically own nothing..... but hey Sony are the bad guys.

I still hope that Sony will finally stop selling PC games completely because it hurts the PlayStation brand and only helps Valve.

Isn't it ironic that Nintendo only filed a lawsuit against Pocketpair when they were acquired by Sony?

This video explains very well why Nintendo is suing Pocketpair.

spoiler: it's all about Sony. Nintendo doesn't want Sony to have their own Pokemon.

These numbers are crazy when you consider the price and the current economic situation.

and GTA 6 is still to come.

The PS5 is far from being a failure or even dead as some fanboys on the internet would like to believe.

Hermen Hulst is and remains the worst CEO. I'm far from understanding why he's still CEO. well another mega flop like Concord and he will finally be fired.

How can Totokoi, Nishino, Hulst and Co still believe that the PC is worth it with these numbers?

Sony please wake up before it's too late!

they will never learn

@Cybrshrk

"If console players don't want to see the size and quality of 1st party games diminish Sony needs the investment from PC so start treating them like they should be treated and everyone wins!"

LMAO guess what's happened to first party games since Sony released their games on PC in this gen. Nobody wins here except Valve!

Sony is literally killing the Playstation brand here. for absolutely zero profits. because oh what a surprise GoWR was already cracked before the real release.

https://icon-era.com/threads/god-of-war-ragnarok-has-been-cracked-on-pc-already.14135/

Sony should finally realize that they are not going to win with PC gamers.

The elite (that's what the PCMR calls themselves) hate Sony games anyway because they're just movie games with no real gameplay.

it is a losing battle where there is more to lose than to gain. the only winner is Valve.

@Shad361

You don't have to tell me that these games are expensive to make, I know that. It is still important to keep your own expectations in check. If SE just doesn't want to understand that a current Final Fantasy won't sell 20 million copies then it's SE's fault and not Sony's!

"This is why they are doing pc ports but people don’t want to see the truth."

that make little to no profit. see the current FFXVI Steam numbers... so much for everyone just waiting for the PC version.

Yes, as I said, nothing is more important to Sony at the moment than GTA 6. I fully expect next year to be no better than this one.

I could even imagine that Sony's current first-party games will all be announced cross-gen for the PS6.

I really don't expect anything more from Sony and maybe that's why I'm happy with the PS5.

@Nowings

or maybe just maybe you should keep your expectations in check. I haven't heard from Koei or Shift Up that they were disappointed with Rise of the Ronin or Stellar Blade.

The only ones who are disappointed are the saviors of freedom on the Internet. who definitely hate PlayStation anyway.

SE is just as stupid as all the PCMR and Switch idiots that these two platforms solve the problem of everything.

could symbolize the break between Sony and SE....😂🤣

Anyone who really blames the Playstation for the demise of Final Fantasy also believes Phil Spencer's lies.

The Steam numbers for FF XVI prove that the Final Fantasy brand has an image problem and a multiplatform release won't change that.

especially since SE has totally utopian expectations anyway. FFXVI could have sold 10 million copies and SE would still be disappointed.

SE is basically like Ubisoft. If you are responsible for your own problems, it is always someone else's fault.

I think for Sony GTA VI is currently more important than anything else.

otherwise, there is no need for a showcase to announce new first party titles.

Anyone who really believes that the PS5 Pro offers no added value is delusional. Yes, the price is outrageous (although my biggest problem is the lack of a disk drive) but in return you get a piece of decent hardware. Cerny has always delivered so far and that won't change here.

I'm sure the discourse will change as soon as we see Ghost of Tsushima 2, the new IP from Santa Monica Studios and of course GTA VI on the Pro.

and people wonder why we don't get more games like Jak and Daxter or Sly Cooper.

It also shows that the Internet does not reflect reality.

That's why this PS5 Pro ***** storm is completely ridiculous the people who want to buy it (I'm not one of them) will buy it. no matter what any self-proclaimed freedom fighters claim.....

800€ and that without a disc drive!? Yeah ***** you Sony I'm out.

Not even GTA 6 will be able to save it for this price.

It's so ridiculous how the Xbots come up with the wildest conspiracy theories because they don't want to accept that the Series S is the biggest mistake in this gen.

I personally am more pleased with this announcement than the rumored Xillia Reamaster. because Xillia 2 is significantly better. and as far as I know Bamco there will be no Xillia Collection but Xillia 1+2 will be sold separately.

Grace's f is really great. Best combat system in the series but the story and characters are rather lame.

What's the best way to say this without getting permanently banned again? xD

Sony you want a successful GAAS then take an example from The First Descendant or Overwatch. In the latter case, however, it is important to pay attention to characters like Tracer, Mercy, Widowmaker or d.va.

Concord died the moment it was revealed. and how everyone is now trying to find answers as to why Concord died when the answer is so obvious is just ridiculous.

Maybe we should slowly say goodbye to the idea that Sony only uses a showcase to announce big first party titles.

There is no reason why a Ghost of Tsushima 2 or the new IP from Santa Monica Studios cannot be announced on an SoP.

Otherwise I think Sony still only needs GTA VI to make the PS5 Pro worth it.

Guess what the difference is between Concord and The First Descendant. Or why Overwatch is still so popular.

Anyone who didn't completely hide their head in the sand saw this coming.

There are so many things wrong with this game in advance that I'm sure the only thing that will work properly when it's released is the Helix Store.

no disc, no buy

the only Ubislop game I'm even interested in anymore and I'm sure they'll ruin even that somehow.

@Falcon94

it's an AC RPG so yes.

yes exactly what I expected Valhalla with Japan Skin.

I'm also shocked at how colorless this game is. Ghost of Tsushima overwhelmed you with colors but this just seems totally boring.

Yes no, I'm out. I can no longer see this Ubislop where you basically do the same thing for 100+ hours.

It's funny how everyone says it's not a big deal, or it's not a main game so who cares. What excuse comes next should the Horizon Remake also come to the Switch 2? What excuses come then? Is it just a one-time thing or not a big deal? yes, that's how it started with Xbox and look where the Xbox is now.

@Rob_230

It's a slow process, it won't happen immediately but it will happens. Like MS, Sony is currently digging its own grave.

What is currently happening with the Xbox will also happen with the Playstation, just later. GTA 6 will save the PS5 again but the PS6 won't be a chance without real exclusive titles and a PS7 may not exist.

Sony will learn the hard way how important exclusive titles are. but I fear by then it will be too late.

2036: "How Sony killed the PlayStation brand back then Part 1"

Yes, my friends, the slow death of the PlayStation as a console has begun. It won't happen immediately but it will be a slow process similar to Xbox.

I fully expect that the rumored Horizon remake will also come to the Switch 2. and then at the latest it will be clear which direction Sony will go in the future.

And do you know what the worst thing about it is? We PlayStation fans will get absolutely NOTHING from Nintendo!

an absolute waste of time.
