What a joke of a publisher. I've never seen a gaming company so horribly managed in my life. I feel bad for all the devs that have to work under these clowns.
@Kevw2006 I read the other day that they are supposedly scaling back those plans, but who knows. We can only hope they are.
I'm sure you're right that some will release, but the two they announce look bad from there announcement trailers. Fairgame$ looks like a cringy Ubisoft live service game and Concord showed absolutely nothing. Not a particular strong showing out the gate for this initiative.
@Kevw2006 let me clarify. Besides the top dogs, entry into the genre seems to be paper thin. Then you have outliners like Destiny that's also losing there audience. It may not be dying, but the genre is stagnant. Everyone that wants to play those type of games are on one of the ones you mention and any new GaaS that releases generally dies within 6 months to a year.
Music to my ears. I have a feeling the purchase of Bungie is going to be the biggest waste of money for Sony. They bought Bungie on the tail end of the live service genre slowly dying.
I'm stoked for this one, but if it doesn't release within the next three years that will start to fade. I like it when games are no more than a few years out from releasing after there announcement
@Deadsea93 I agree the launch was good. I just don't like what Sony as a company has become. They barely communicate and when they have over the last two years it's not for the better. I miss the PS4 days. It was fun and engaging. I feel like that's how Sony needs to be right now with the massive amount of games MS is going to put out in the next 10 years. Ryan "retiring" is hopefully a sign of a changing of the tides. Because not only will there be a lull in games, but the ones put out will be nothing but live service trash that very few Playstation fans want.
@UltimateOtaku91 I don't expect Sony to match there output. What I do expect is fantastic SP games and atleast some communication from this mute company. Sony has announced almost nothing but live service games (that will fail) over the last two years, and doesnt say a word apart from a lackluster SOP here and there. Maybe its the shifting in management, or maybe there terrified to say a word because the competition output is about to triple what they can produce...idk. What I do know is since Shawn Layden stepped down this company has seemed more inhuman than ever. With MS growing and Sonys GaaS push and lack of communication. It feels like they are doing nothing but trying to help MS by pushing away there hardcore audience for a chance to catch lightning in a bottle.
Can't wait to hear Sony do nothing. They must be ran by idiots now. There dissociation with its audience in a time when it needs to be communicating the most is alarming.
MS had alot of games to show with just owning ZeniMax at its summer showcase this year. I can't imagine what next year's will look like. Because just the one from this past summer dwarfed Sonys meager showcase already. It feels like in about 10 to 15 years will all either have to accept the lack of games Playstation has compared to Xbox, jump ship, or quit gaming. Scary times ahead indeed.
@Shad361 I'm not referring to that. I'm referring to them adding new PS2 classics to Premium. We've gotten no new PS2 games since the service launched.
I love Dealabs. There would almost be no exciting games news if it wasn't for there leaks. Literally the only article I've clicked on since mid last week, lol.
Sad generation ahead indeed. Hope everyone enjoyed the few games we got off the tail of the PS4 the first few years of the PS5. Because the next five or so are going to be the sad aftermath of what Jim Ryan put into motion.
It'll take Playstation years to recover from the damage Jim Ryan caused. This is just the beginning. Ryan is retiring right at the end of what games were in motion already from the previous gen. The next few years will be from what Ryan put into motion and im afraid it will be rough.

Re: Suicide Squad Backlash Doesn't Stop Warner Bros from Doubling Down on Live-Service Games
They all will more than likely fail, and im going to love watching it 😁. Guess WB will just have to learn the hard way. 🤷♂️
Re: Embracer Collapse Continues, with TimeSplitters Dev Allegedly Next on the Chopping Block
There should be a law or regulation in place for what Embracer is doing. I honestly will never support them again going forward after this.
Re: Secret PS5 Firmware Feature Makes a Change to Reflect PS5 Slim
Wow omg that's game changing 🙄. I could think of sooo many more things that need to be updated on the PS5s UI than that.

Re: Only Sony Will Allow Crazy PS5, PS4 Indie Horror Christmas Massacre
Good. Censorship is the dumbest thing in gaming. I don't need some mega corporation telling me what I should and shouldn't play.
Re: PlayStation Users to Be Considered 'Part of the Xbox Community', Says Xbox Boss
@GamingFan4Lyf No I meant where they would allow competing services on each other's consoles.
Re: PlayStation Users to Be Considered 'Part of the Xbox Community', Says Xbox Boss
I'd love to see a world where all three of the platforms were more friendly with each other.
Re: Portal's GLaDOS Rips into The Talos Principle 2 in Genius Promo Video
@ImmaWario I'm not surprised. Two is arguably my favorite game of all time.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Alan Wake 2?
10/10 GOTY imo.
Re: Portal's GLaDOS Rips into The Talos Principle 2 in Genius Promo Video
God I miss Portal. Really wish they would remaster the first two or do a third one.
Re: Sony Reveals iSIZE Acquisition, Not a Games Developer
MS has got to be really feeling the pressure of this acquisition. I'm not sure it'll get through the regulators. 🙄
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2's Secret Ninja Room Sparks DLC Speculation
I wish they would make a DareDevil game. Could be Marvel's version of Batman. A darker more violent theme.

Re: PS Plus Essential Games for November 2023 Announced
Gotta be the worst month I've seen all year. I may add Mafia to my library, but the rest is pure trash.
Re: Interest in Destiny 2 Reportedly at an All-Time Low
Music to my ears. I have a feeling the purchase of Bungie is going to be the biggest waste of money for Sony. They bought Bungie on the tail end of the live service genre slowly dying.
Re: Bungie Layoffs Reportedly Impacted Around 100 Staff, Revenue 45% Below 2023 Projection
Hate this happened to those people. Maybe if Bungie made something besides live service games they wouldn't be in the hole.
Re: Atari Ramps Up Retro Ambitions with Digital Eclipse Acquisition
I see you Atari. They seem to slowly be making a comeback. Seems like a smart move with there history.
Re: PS5 Live-Service Game Marathon Has Reportedly Been Delayed to 2025
@OmegaStriver I agree and yes its unfortunate that will suffer from there bad decision making for the next few years.
Re: PS5 Live-Service Game Marathon Has Reportedly Been Delayed to 2025
From what I read on PSU. Sony has scaled back alot on there live service push. Music to my ears I said. 😁
Re: PS5, PS4's Most Played Games Probably Won't Surprise You
Filthy casuals
Re: Sony Does a Lot Behind the Scenes to Ensure High Quality PS5 Exclusives
Yea will see how high quality your live service shift turns out over the next few years.
Re: Former PlayStation Boss Shawn Layden Says It's 'Criminal' Industry Isn't Properly Preserving Games
God I miss him sooooo much. It's depressing where Playstation is going over the next 10 years after he built such a great foundation.
Re: Alan Wake 2 (PS5) - A Nightmare We Never Want to Wake Up From
Wow a 10/10. Damn I've got to pick this up now.
Re: PS1 FPS Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster Lands on PS5, PS4 in February
Love all these classics getting ported to modern consoles.
Re: Metal Gear Solid's First-Ever Trophy List Has Been Revealed
@JeongersGaming Thanks for the update.
Re: Rumour: The Next Far Cry Game Is an Extraction-Based Multiplayer Shooter with Permadeath
Hopefully this will fail.
Re: Metal Gear Solid's First-Ever Trophy List Has Been Revealed
@JeongersGaming Well if that's the case it's a no buy for me. Already have the collection from the PS3.
Re: Metal Gear Solid's First-Ever Trophy List Has Been Revealed
Will the NES titles be receiving trophy support as well?
Re: Venom Spin-Off Game an Option for Insomniac, If Fans Want It
@Kidfried Yess!! Give us the Sunset Overdrive remaster. I read years ago it was in development, but nothing has come of it. 🤷♂️
Re: Unreal Engine 5 to Power Dead Space Dev's Iron Man Game
I'm stoked for this one, but if it doesn't release within the next three years that will start to fade. I like it when games are no more than a few years out from releasing after there announcement
Re: Previously Teased, System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition Confirmed for PS5
I didn't know they were doing one and two. Can't wait to platinum both.
Re: 'Gollum-Like' King Kong Game Is Getting Torn to Shreds Online
It doesn't look that bad to me. Seems like your prototypical budget license title we used to get in droves on PS3.
Re: Solve Nursery Rhymes and Watch TV Adverts to Unlock the Alan Wake 2 Platinum Trophy
Can't wait to tackle this platinum.
Re: More Platinum Trophies for PS Plus Premium Retro Releases
@Bionic-Spencer Agreed. I'd rather have LESS third party games WITH trophy support than more with NONE.
Re: Evidence of PlayStation Trophy Support on PC Mounts
All I want is for them to overhaul the main trophy UI on PS5. It's hideous imo.

Re: PS Plus Premium Adds PS5 Cloud Streaming As a Perk This Month
Something no one asked for. Where is the PS2 emulator!!??
Re: 15 PS5, PS4 Games Coming to PS Plus Extra, Premium in October 2023 Update
Hell I wish they would add back the original Killzone that was on PS Now.
Re: PS5 Slim Officially Unveiled, Attachable Disc Drive, Launches November

I feel no pity. Don't sink your money into that over saturated market. End of story.
