@Anke They thankfully changed that haha, otherwise you might have maybe 30% of the game downloaded after 45 minutes!

@Ooccoo_Jr Thank you, it was nice to read this! 🙂

@NEStalgia Okay no worries, thanks for clarifying, appreciated 👍

@NEStalgia What Forspoken take do you mean, sorry?

@NEStalgia You’re free to disagree with me, but do you really think this is an okay comment to make to another person? Like, seriously? You know I’m going to see it, really poor form.

Think about how your posts make someone just trying to do their job feel. I’ve shared my thoughts on a VR headset. You’ve said I’m a drunk uncle people want to get rid of.

@Neverwild Have you heard of a thing called sarcasm?

@Tomato_Goose But there were new games from PlayStation Studios.

@Snake_V5 @KundaliniRising333 We'll find out tomorrow with the full launch. The PS Store doesn't list a price yet because only Digital Deluxe owners can redeem it right now as a free download.

@Jacko11 I think if it was like 30-45 minutes longer, it would have got a 7. But I feel it's just too short to go any higher.

@Nemoy16 A lot of people want it lol

That's me!

I have questions on how this game made it into the PlayStation Showcase. I'm fascinated. How did this happen?! Cat Quest!

@PlatinumKing "original Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty"

@Gooseman42 Yep, we've got someone working on that review.

@FatalBubbles While it's ended now, Assassin's Creed Valhalla was live service/Game as a Service.

@Tharsman The update in that article says Sony categorically denied the rumour of cut PSVR2 production numbers. That's also discussing how many units Sony had made, not sales.

@Angelus3K If I’d have put livestream instead, you’d all have still thought the exact same thing. These are generic terms, showcase isn’t exclusively for PlayStation Showcase

@Angelus3K Yes it is, they all pretty much mean the exact same thing

@Angelus3K Didn't mention the PlayStation Showcase once in the article!

@alienwithin You mean the same Jez Cordon I mention in the article, who also said Sony has an exclusivity agreement?

@Voltan Agreed, I'm just happy it seems to be coming back at all!

@BeerIsAwesome It was, but this news reveals the official name and more details about it.

@BearsEatBeets You're right, thanks!

@Intr1n5ic It certainly does sound like there's been some significant rejigging of the franchise's plans in the past six or so months, yeah

@Intr1n5ic I don't believe Activision ever said publicly it was planning for a game every two years. Most of these reports came from Jason Schreier, who always said there was new Call of Duty content planned for this year. It was going to be like a huge DLC for Modern Warfare 2 across all platforms, but now Activision has decided to make it a standalone game.

@Intr1n5ic Not sure where you’ve got that from, but it’s not true

@PlatinumKing You can kindly leave me alone and remember you're talking to an actual person behind this account

@Nem And the Mortal Kombat 1 name is new.

So, as I was saying...

https://www.pushsquare.com/features/soapbox-ps-plus-might-be-gamings-best-subscription-service-now

@Rhaoulos Because they're significant games that released only a handful of months ago. People may still be interested in buying them.

@rusty82 It releases one week too early for that to be a possibility I’m afraid.

@Jey887

@MrMetroid Haha I support Derby County!

@Jey887 Forest fans get an automatic ban when I'm around

@Tharsman Yeah, I certainly agree there’s a quality and a sense of satisfaction knowing I’ll be able to play everything Microsoft puts out with my Game Pass subscription.

This year in particular, though, I feel those day one releases are being relied upon too heavily, to the point where the overall back catalogue is suffering. It’s become a pretty common response to Game Pass updates now that the list of games leaving the service is better than those arriving.

I’m very excited about playing Starfield, but what else will there be that month? It just doesn’t feel like there’s any promise anymore it’ll be flanked by other stuff from third parties like there has been in years gone by.

@rjejr Oh I wasn’t disagreeing with Sammy’s article 😊

@rjejr I wrote this 😅

@Northern_munkey It’s nice to agree on something for once 🙂

@PsBoxSwitchOwner I don't prefer Xbox over PlayStation. The comment you're referring to is where I said I preferred playing games on my Xbox Series X due to the playtime tracker being broken on PS5. That appears to have been fixed now, but didn't in the first place mean I prefer Xbox over PlayStation in general. I really like Xbox, but PlayStation is still number one for me.

@Flaming_Kaiser If you think Phil Spencer/Microsoft aren't passionate about gaming, actually watch the interview (like so many people in this comments section should).

@Pat_trick Where did I say I was dismissing anyone's argument? I talked about literal fanboys, but unfortunately this site attracts a few too many of them.

@get2sammyb Microsoft has always been drumming this beat, though. They don't share console sales numbers, it's about player engagement. Xbox Series X|S doesn't need to outsell PS5 or Switch to be a success, and that's essentially what Phil said.

His comments are completely accurate, but of course fanboys on both sides will go off on one 🙄 Phil mentions how people are embedded in either ecosystem, and have built a library of games there. Since so many people were on PS4 — which as he mentions is the generation they lost — not many people are willing to invest in a whole new system.

What he actually said on the podcast is that people aren’t going to up and sell their PS5 because Starfield is incredible. The digital nature of most people’s libraries stops that happening now.

I think people are going to be quite surprised when they learn what these 10 live service games actually are, because I'm willing to bet any money Ghost of Tsushima 2 is one of them.

It'll have the same huge single player campaign, but that Legends mode is going to be massively expanded in the sequel. Sony isn't just making 10 Battle Royale knockoffs. These are going to be fully-fledged games.

@aSmilingMan I would recommend trying Jedi: Fallen Order first since that's the first game in this story, and is standalone from the Star Wars movies. Even though it's an excellent game, I don't think I could recommend Survivor at full price for someone with no exposure to the series. If you enjoy Fallen Order, though, this is even better!

I'm gonna have to give this game a go when it comes to PS5. A live service turn-based RPG sounds far too good to miss out on.

@Anke I'm happy to hear it helped you out!

@Westernwolf4 Thank you, I hope you enjoy it just as much as I have 😊

@R1spam Thank you, hope you get a copy for yourself!

@KundaliniRising333 I played the vast majority with the tech issues present, yes. Before the patch, the 30fps Quality Mode was actually smoother than the Performance Mode. It was a bit mad.

I haven't tested the 30fps mode since the patch, but while there are still small dips in the 60fps Performance Mode, it's so much better now. A more than acceptable way to play the game.

@jmac1686 It's still presented in that hologram style, but it's a much better map this time that's easier to read.

@Odium The platforming is really good, I enjoyed it a lot. Super satisfying.
