Yea I purchased Bill & Ted before it was delisted and didn't receive anything. I opened a ticket with customer service and the way the rep was talking it sounded like it's a wide spread thing.
@nomither6 lol yea but that 50 million is from them riding off the good will from the PS4. Between now and 2027 or whenever the PS6 comes out I have a feeling MS will start to sway to market there way. Like I said in my OP it's this is the first time in 10 years I'm starting to look over the fence.
@zhoont I wouldn't hold my breath. You won't see that version of Sony again till the pendulum starts to swing back in Microsofts direction. Which I do predict will happen by the end of this generation with the amount of exclusives MS will have compared to Sony.
@Porco I agree, and I guess Sony will just have to learn there lesson the hard way. I believe this is just the beginning. Imo Fairgames and Concord will probably both fail as well. Sony will definitely lose alot of ground to MS over the next five years. They will have droves of exclusives while the Sony faithful probably get maybe one single player game a year. What Sony has put out up till last year was the tail end of Shawn Laydens time. This year was a joke with just Spiderman coming from Sonys first party studios and I fear it will be worse in the coming years. Like you said the effect Ryan had on Sony will be seen over the next few years.
There's two or three good titles, but my question is why did yall put "Amazing" in the title? Like this lineup was going to blow our minds. It's average at best.
I will say this though. If Thrillville Off the Rails is the PS2 version. It looks like that PS2 emulator is up and running. Because that was not part of the PS2 to PS4 program games that ran off the old emulator.
What I've read is Marvel two years ago mandated there licensed games to be multiplatform. Spiderman and Wolverine were deals done before this mandate. So yes I do believe Blade will come to Playstation.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't. People are never happy I swear. They complain about the length of the Game Awards. So Keighley gets the award winners to wrap up there speeches quicker to cut down on the time. Then people bit#$ about that. Smh 🤦♂️
I think the show was one of the best I've watched, and hope Geoff keeps this format going forward.
Yea this is one of the reasons why I've almost stopped buying anything from the PS store. If I'm to ever lose my library of games on my PS3. I'll probably never buy another digital game again. Just buy physical or just play whatever is on streaming services and be done with it.
I would love to have access to Game Pass on my PS5. But my one requirement would be that the games came with a trophy list and not be locked into the Xbox achievement system.
It was a billion dollar mistake by Sony. I guarantee that TLOU mp game was probably going to be in line with The Day Before, but way better. But Bungie came in and said it didn't have enough microtransactions to try and trap people in. So Sony being a Bungie lap dog said scale it back because they think Bungie is the king of live service. Even though they are supporting a dying live service game as we speak.
@KundaliniRising333 I 100% agree. It's the first time since before the PS3 that I'm looking over the fence to see what the competitor is offering, and it all stems from the decisions Sony has made this generation.
I blame the parents. As a parent myself, I don't allow my children to fall into these brainwash schemes. They ask for them all the time, but I dont give in. The game industry is trying to normalize this type of behavior with the world's youth and I refuse to let my children fall into that trap.
@SolarSailor Yea thats the issue is the other studios outside of Insomniac are severely lacking. I hope you're right about the second half of this generation, but with all the live service games Sony has in the pipeline im not hopeful.
Thanks on the game. Hopefully they can keep it rolling. Congrats on the 9ners win as well. Yall will be a good team for along time.
PS5 is selling great off the success of the PS4. The Sony we have now is a shell of the one that made the PS4 such a success. Let's see how well this article ages by the end of this generation.
@ThorsHammer Yea im familiar with that trash heap, lol. Just like you said, I'm hoping they take another shot at it since they have improved dramatically since.

Re: Game of the Year: #1 - Marvel's Spider-Man 2
Who would've guessed it. A Playstation game getting GOTY on a Playstation website. 🤯🙄

Re: Talking Point: Is Bungie Really the Right Developer to Aid Sony's Live-Service Push?
@nomither6 I couldn't have said it better myself. PS5 is definitely the worst generation so far, and looking ahead it seems it will only get worse.
Re: New Chinese Rules Could Change Some of PS5, PS4's Biggest Games
Good. There should be more of this.
Re: Future Looking Bright for Fallout 76 and Its Legions of Players
I dont care what add ons they do. This game felt repetitive and stale after awhile. Pretty much par for the course with a live service game.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 507
F.E.A.R. 3 and Gotham Knights.
Re: PS Studios and Many More Spread Some Yuletide Cheer with Festive Cards
I think Bend Studio's is my favorite.

Re: The Last of Us Multiplayer Project Is Officially Cancelled
It's music to my ears. The more of these live service games that die the better. Single player through and through!
Re: Disney Doesn't Think It Was 'Overly Exclusionary' to Cut Planned PS5 Version of Indiana Jones
They'll have regrets when they see how few amount of copies they sell.

What I've read is Marvel two years ago mandated there licensed games to be multiplatform. Spiderman and Wolverine were deals done before this mandate. So yes I do believe Blade will come to Playstation.
Re: Poll: What Was the Best PS5 Game Announcement or Reveal at The Game Awards 2023?
I think the Blade trailer was the biggest surprise, but its not listed because no one knows if it's exclusive to Xbox or not.

Re: Poll: Was The Game Awards 2023 Worth Watching?
Yea Microsoft killed it!! I haven't wanted to buy an Xbox this bad in over 10 years.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora?
Game looks to much like Far Cry for me to ever care. Game should have been in 3rd person.
Re: PS Plus Premium Will Add PS1's Star Wars: The Phantom Menace Next
Man I wish trophies were mandatory for these games.
Re: Sony Reversing PSN Account Bans, Still Hasn't Offered an Explanation
Not surprised they aren't explaining it. This Sony feels they are above explaining their actions.

Re: Lead Bungie Staff Fear 'Total Sony Takeover' After Layoffs, Delays

Still would never touch this game, lol.
Re: PlayStation Users Set to Lose Hundreds of TV Shows They Paid For
Yea this is one of the reasons why I've almost stopped buying anything from the PS store. If I'm to ever lose my library of games on my PS3. I'll probably never buy another digital game again. Just buy physical or just play whatever is on streaming services and be done with it.

Only way I'd play Sonys mobile games is if they added trophies to them.

Yea this looks pretty sick imo
Re: Embracer CEO Confirms TimeSplitters Dev Could Close Before Christmas
After what they've done. I hope it causes Embracer to completely fall. The company doesn't deserve to control any studios.

Re: US Children Want Subscriptions and Currencies for Christmas, Not Games
I have a 10 and 7 year old and I purposely block them from this type of content. Even though they ask for it constantly, lol.

Re: Former Rockstar Dev Sheds Light on Fate of Lost PS3 Exclusive Agent
