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.
And another one is gone. If I had to put my money on it. It's probably due to whatever Sony is trying to force them to make while having Bungie hover over them through the whole process. I wouldn't be surprised if more top talent leaves Sony in the next 12 plus months.
The whole profile area and the main trophy UI needs an overhaul. I dont understand why MS can make these changes yearly to the Xbox dashboard, but Sony barely touches the aesthetics of our profiles.
Can't really blame him with the state Naughty Dog is in.
@B_Lindz He won't say this publicly, but its more than likely the issue of Sony making these studios do live service games when they don't want to do them.
It's crazy how trash Sonys 1st party output has been outside of Insomniac. Its really bad when compared to last gen. With MS owning half the industry now its going to be rough in the next 5 to 10 years for Sony to hold onto the market with a measly 1 to 2 releases a year. Especially when the majority will be live service games.
@GamingFan4Lyf Thats all fine and great, but I guarantee none of Sonys live service games will ever be in that top 10. Even if they are a success. They will not be a Fortnite success. That ship has long sail for any developer.
I wish I could peak into the future to see if Sony is losing in the gaming space again once all these live service games release. Because it sure feels like they will be. I'm already starting to lose interest in PS as a brand seeing what is on offer over the next 5 plus years.
I'm really a one console guy, and with this change in Sony it's given me the first itch in along time to sell my PS5 and get an Xbox.
@get2sammyb You're right if just one catches on they are set, but in the span of time they release all these titles you can feel they are slowly losing there core audience. People aren't idiots. They dont buy Playstation consoles for these types of games. If one of these 12 titles don't catch on yalls staff might be working on the Pure Xbox or Nintendo Life sites, lol.

Re: Hands On: The Finals Is One of the Most Exciting New Online Shooters in Years
Gonna be a hard pass for me.
Re: Could Marvel's Blade Come to PS5? Bethesda Declines to Comment
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: The Game Awards Is Getting Ripped for Urging Award Winners to Wrap It Up

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

These guys really do have a true love for the classics
Re: Holstin's Unique Camera System Offers a Fresh Perspective on Survival Horror
I remember seeing this one this summer. Definitely has me interested.
Re: Racing RPG Resistor Shows Off Character Customisation in Overview Trailer
Definitely looks interesting, but looks like it could get repetitive fast. Will keep my eye out on this one.
Re: Lead Bungie Staff Fear 'Total Sony Takeover' After Layoffs, Delays
Boy Sonys whole investment so far into live service seems like a joke.
Re: Well-Received Indie Rogue-Like Have a Nice Death Out for PS5, PS4 Today
Game gives me Hollow Knight vibes
Re: Fortnite Completes Transition to Full-Blown PS5, PS4 Platform with LEGO, Racing Games
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.
Re: Action RPG Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn Keeping PS5, PS4 Powder Dry Until Summer 2024
Hope this one turns out as good as it looks.
Re: SPINE's Cinematic CQC Gameplay Will Send Shivers Down Yours on PS5
This has potential. I'm cautiously optimistic.
Re: Microsoft Still Wants to Put Xbox Game Pass on PS5, PS4
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.
Re: Talking Point: Is Bungie Really the Right Developer to Aid Sony's Live-Service Push?

Re: Reaction: PlayStation's Finally Poised to Penetrate the Mobile Market in the Right Way
Only way I'd play Sonys mobile games is if they added trophies to them.
Re: Stylish Metroidvania Cookie Cutter Announced and Dated for PS5
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: PS Plus Essential Games for December 2023 Announced
Didn't Lego 2k Drive just come out? I'm not complaining. I think its a good month. Most excited to try Sable out.
Re: Sony Confirms Strategic Partnership with South Korean Publisher NCSOFT
Mobile games...🙄
Re: Reaction: You Really Shouldn't Be Surprised Kids Want PS5, PS4 Game Currencies for Xmas
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.
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: Reaction: PS5's Success Is Not Luck, Because Sony's Spent Years Putting in the Hard Yards

Re: Jaw-Dropping Indie RPG Small Saga Coming to Console... Eventually
I'm not big on turn based RPGs, but this does look unique.
Re: Former Rockstar Dev Sheds Light on Fate of Lost PS3 Exclusive Agent
Yea its a sad state that Rockstar is in now. We used to get so many great games from them. Now it's just 10 year cycles between GTA and Red Dead.
Re: RoboCop: Rogue City Is Officially Publisher Nacon's Best Ever Launch
@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: RoboCop: Rogue City Is Officially Publisher Nacon's Best Ever Launch
Good to hear. Maybe they'll do a proper Rambo or Judge Dredd game next.
Re: Alright, Destiny 2's Witcher 3 Crossover Armour Is Cool
Still would never touch this game.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition Won't Have Its Own Separate Trophy List on PS5
I was wondering this same thing. Guess my patience isn't going to pay off after all.
Re: Talking Point: Like Japanese Games? Early 2024 Is Going to Destroy You
Well its good thing I don't like them then, lol.
Re: Returnal Director Is Leaving Housemarque After 14 Years
And another one is gone. If I had to put my money on it. It's probably due to whatever Sony is trying to force them to make while having Bungie hover over them through the whole process. I wouldn't be surprised if more top talent leaves Sony in the next 12 plus months.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for November 2023?
Premium is pretty good this month, but Extra is complete trash besides maybe Teardown and Superliminal.
Re: Poll: What Will Win Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2023?
Imo it should be Alan Wake 2
Re: More Classic PS Plus Premium Games Look to Have Leaked Early
I really wish Sony would make it mandatory to have trophies for these games.
Re: Part of Your PS5 Profile Is Now Pretty Much Useless
The whole profile area and the main trophy UI needs an overhaul. I dont understand why MS can make these changes yearly to the Xbox dashboard, but Sony barely touches the aesthetics of our profiles.
Re: 900 People Laid Off from Embracer Group During Its Second Quarter of 2023
Company is mismanaged trash. They'll never recover from this PR nightmare. I personally don't ever want to buy another game from them after this.
Re: Suicide Squad Returns with All-New PS5 Gameplay
Hard pass on this live service junk. Story had me hooked. Then they showed the gameplay and the bottom fell out on my interest.
Re: 14 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Coming Next Week
Oh lord the Extra games are hands down the WORST since launch. Ive never even heard of half of them haha. Premium is decent this month though.
Re: Naughty Dog Head of Technology Leaving Kennel After 17-Year Career
Can't really blame him with the state Naughty Dog is in.
@B_Lindz He won't say this publicly, but its more than likely the issue of Sony making these studios do live service games when they don't want to do them.
Re: PS Plus Premium Poised to Add Another Classic Disney Game
@FredBiletnikoff Nope, I prefer games to have trophies. I don't prefer trophies over games. Big difference.
Re: PS5 Fans Think They've Found Marvel's Wolverine's Release Year
It's crazy how trash Sonys 1st party output has been outside of Insomniac. Its really bad when compared to last gen.

Especially when the majority will be live service games.
Re: PS Plus Premium Poised to Add Another Classic Disney Game
I'd rather have less of a third party selection with trophies than more without.
Re: Sony Delays Six Live Service PS5 Games, But Company Remains Committed to Model
