Hahaha what a world we live in nowadays when calling out bias is a negative thing to do
Look, i’m not saying we should reason with bias, we all have different biases, thats fine. But im not talking about that. I’m talking more about the nature of fandoms.
This is a Playstation fan site, right? So it’s normal to lean in to that, and that includes talking about exclusives, which Playstation is known for.
And moaning about people calling out bias?
I’m not moaning, i was just making a point. The people coming here and complaining about bias from a Playstation site are the ones that seem to be moaning.
Imagine going to a Mercedes car meetup and telling everyone they need to play nice with BMW. That would be odd, right. The whole point of the community is to celebrate the Mercedes brand , because they’re fans of it. Maybe a bit of weird comparison, but i think you get the point.
Every other console has exclusives, why not talk about Playstation exclusives in the same way. I think thats a reasonable ask for a fan site.
There's no need to mention a game as exclusive when all the other games have been exclusive 🤷
It's like asking if they dropped another Astro bot asking if it's exclusive!
And i don’t think this a good comparison at all. Astro Bot is from a first party studio, so it’s expected tto be exclusive. But Nioh is a third party game. Games can go from being exclusive to multiplat. Just because a thid party game was exclusive doesn’t mean it will always be
Is this a Playstation console exclusive? I thought it was. But I wonder why Sony is so quiet about it if it is? Also no mention of it from this site? Or maybe it just isn’t an exclusive.
If it is, then i wonder why this site doesn’t tend to acknowledge or emphasize titles being exclusive for Playstation. Pure Xbox would be all over that. The most niche title would be broadcasted to be exclusive, they’d even mention it in the article title lol.
You guys dont seem to mention games being exclusive at all. Im wondering if all this bias shaming from some users here is getting to you guys.
Honestly, i’m interested in Sony’s live service like Marvel Tokon, Horizon and even Marathon.
But i think with Fairgames they should just cut their losses. Or at least show the world the build they’ve got so far, and if no one reacts positively to it, just cancel the whole thing.
I know this is off topic, but Fairgames has been mentioned twice already, so just wanted to share my opinion 😆
From the start it already piqued my interest, i liked the weird and absurd feel. And from this review, it looks to be a fun and quirky game. Might give it a shot
@Oram77 I agree, and i would love to see improvements in gameplay as well.
Like more realistic AI and behaviour for characters and NPC’s, more interactive, destructible and lively worlds. New and fresh gameplay innovations.
But besides that, i actually like seeing these improvements on graphical fidelity. It’s the reason why i like to follow GPU cards and graphics engine technology. Even if the improvements are incremental, i like seeing the progress we’re making in things like path tracing which brings us even more closer to lifelike realism in games
I mean this basically already looks photorealistic. Not gonna get much better than this. If this will be the standard for PS6, that would be exciting. Kojima Productions really excel in facial fidelity in their games.
I feel like all the usual “diminishing return comments” are a bit redundant at this point. Of course the improvements aren’t going to be as huge as past generations, thats because we are already approaching lifelike photorealism in many aspects of graphic design.
The huge jump from PS1 to PS2 was because there was sonmuch room for improvement. I mean have you seen how PS1 looked? That was nowhere near the realism we have to day
The only pc players that complain about optimizations are those that don’t upgrade all the necessary parts and think that there ps4 era PC can still hang. my 2021 prebuilt PC still going strong & have had zero problems
Many games are just poorly optimized, even on higher end pc rigs.
Sure, if you bought a PC in 2021 with high end GPU and CPU, you could argue that it still runs games today with better fidelity and framerate than a base PS5.
But then i’d guess, you also paid way more for it than $399, which is what the PS5 Digital cost in 2021
As for what i would like to see besides the Saros gameplay:
Wolverine
God of War 2.5D
Marvel Tokon
That alone would already make it an A+ State of Play for me. And i know its just 35 mins long, and gonna be filled with third party. But if they add a gameplay reveal of Intergalactic or a teaser of what Santa Monica is working on.
I can be excited for State of Plays and still be unaffected if they end up dissapointing. Not sure why that’s so hard for some people. Maybe just… not get too emotionally invested?
For the people that struggle with it, yeah its probably best to keep expectations in check.
And for the ones who can manage being hyped without having a breakdown if it doesnt meet your expectations, im with you guys! 😄
@nomither6 Sure the grass might look greener, but it’s also more expensive, with less notable Day 1 exclusives. GTA6, anyone? Heck, i don’t want to wait several years for big titles to come to PC.
If PC is so great, why do i constantly see so many complaints about poor optimization on PC? Heck, Battaglia from DF gets more frustrated about the state of PC gaming with every PC tech review he does.
Games usually run better when they are optimized for a fixed platform, where devs can really optimize for the hardware. Unlike on PC where they need to cater to millions of different hardware configurations, increasing the risk of all sorts of bugs etc.
Personally i like the plug and play nature of consoles, i dont want to have to tweak settings, update drivers or troubleshoot whenever games won’t work properly.
Also it’s funny how people complain about consoles going digital, when PC doesnt even offer physical games or the option to resell them.
And lets not forget, PC needs upgrading every few years too, just like console generations. Have you seen the prices on just GPU cards alone lately? Even mid range ones costing more than a whole console 😅
Most games are fully optimized for the Pro though. Sony just needs to work together more closely with some of these few developers to support the Pro versions of their games better.
Personally, i like the option of having multiple models to choose from. Just like there’s an Iphone Pro option for people who want and can afford it.
That’s why i dont get how these articles always seem to attract people dunking on the existince of the Pro version. How about we just let people choose slightly better hardware for a slightly higher price if they want?
Heck, the whole PC gaming scene is built on spending more for incremental gains in fps or graphical fidelity. Why is it suddenly a problem on consoles?
Never thought a poster could hype me up so much! Even if its still a while away, im excited already. Kojima productions is really cookin with all these games, i love it
I love Kojima’s creativity, and their games always excel in the graphical department. Curious to see if this’ll be coming to PS as well, since it was meant to be an Xbox exclusive originally i believe. But with the phrasing they used, “for all players”, i’d guess it probably is
@GeeEssEff Haha seriously, i had the same thing, for a while i thought NTE was this game, and i thought i must have just imagined the spiderman traversal mechanics or something 😅
I remember seeing this game a few years ago, and i thought it looked cool.
After that i tried looking it up a bunch of time, but i forgot the title, so i could never find it. Only thing i knew was that it had spiderman mechanics. Never thought i’d see it again.
I’m not usually into these free to play games, but yeah this does look cool!
The more we see now, the less likely it’ll show up in the rumoured SoP. Which is good, makes room for more games. Still looks great btw, excited to see what this game has in store for us
Pretty good, didnt expect that tbh. And while it looks good, i still think they could've spent a couple of million extra just to improve some of those textures ☺️
@Artois2 People complained, it was literally unprecedented and the biggest acquisition in gaming history, but the deal went through right? So now some people might want Sony to respond. I think that’s fair
Having said all that, i personally dont mind Sony venturing in to other genres and game types, even live service, just don’t go about it in an idiotic way
@Oram77 Yup, thats pretty much how sequels tend to work. Max just seems to imply that they aren’t creative because they weren’t all new IP’s. But what they mean is that Sony is leading in the single player narrative department, which they clearly are.
Creating a game like God of War: Ragnarok with a whole new story, new world and environments, enemies designs and combat moves needs a lot of creativity.
Maybe it’s even harder for sequels, because they have to figure out whats working but think of new things to keep it fresh. Implying it isnt creative because the main character is the same is just off the mark
@Max_the_German They still are the creative leaders in single player games though. Doesn't matter if those are sequels, they are some of the best single player games of the generation, and they lead in that regard. Meaning, not many studios or publishers do as well as consistently with their single player narrative games as Sony
I genuinely think thats the best long term strategy for Sony at the moment going forward. If they don't have exclusives, they lose one of their main selling points. Imagine if all these consoles all just have the same games, why would people even choose a Playstation? People would just pick the console that launches with the lowest prices, if theres no other differentiator between them anymore. All this brand build up for the past 30 years, to the point that they’re one of the biggest entertainment brand globally, will have been for nothing
People do realise Pushsquare is a Playstation dedicated website, run by Playstation fans, for Playstation fans. It baffles me how people moan if there's a Sony bias, or people calling people fanboys yet if they weren't fans they wouldn't be on here, unless you're here to troll.
Seriously, even on a Playstation centric website you cant even be a Playstation enthusiast these days without automatically being labeled a fanboy.
Like sportsfans can literally paint their faces, scream and fight in stadiums for their favourite team, and no one bats an eye. Sneakerheads can be totally in to Nike. A film lover might like everything from A24. You might be a die hard Apple fan, or into Android. A Starbucks superfan with a 50+ collection of mugs. Music lovers obsess over artists or bands. Heck, there are whole communities for car meetups based on Mercedes, or BMW or whatever car brand.
Everyone has different interests, hobbies, and fandoms, and as long as youre not hurting anyone, whats the problem.
But say something positive about Playstation and watch the fanboy police immediately pull up lol, or websites have to explain themselves when there’s even a slight hint of bias.
Edit: Sorry if i’ve been ranting a bit in the comment sections lately btw, not trying to start anything here, just venting a bit to get it out of my system 😆✌🏼
He didn't say Switch 2 is a bad console and people shouldn't touch it. You overthinking a simple comparison article.
He even says the Switch 2 is an incredible piece of hardware. He even compliments the engine for scaling so good on a handheld, and that they’re sure many people are going to thoroughly enjoy playing it on a Switch.
If people find his comparisons hard to take, they are going to have a real hard time when Digital Foundry releases their tech review for this game.
Personally, i am pretty amazed at how good the Switch 2 version looks. Sure, the original Switch ran some AAA games, but oftentimes they didnt really look all that appealing. But if the Switch 2 is capable of running new AAA games with this fidelity then thats seriously pretty impressive! 😍
@LazyDaisy If Capcom releases trailers for the Switch 2 and PS5 that look different from eachother, then gaming sites are going to compare and discuss the two versions.
I think it’s a prettu reasonable take from a Playstation centric website to say that the Switch 2 trailer looks impressive, but that the Playstation version stands out more graphically. Gaming sites are gonna cover the differences and focus on the strength of the platforms they cater to.
Truly, what is it lately with all these complaints about this sites bias? Do people really expect a site like this to be impartial? Do you go to PureXbox to hear how awesome or how bad Gamepass is?
I didnt mean to imply you should go away. It’s a quote from my previous comment that wasn’t directed at you personally, but intended to be more of a general point. Like if people have trouble with this sites bias, there are many other sites who dont cater to a specific platform
@LazyDaisy The wording isn’t sus, it’s actually pretty clear. They’re saying hey, there’s a trailer of Re9 on Switch 2, and while that looks pretty impressive for a handheld, it’s gonna look way better on a PS5, and here’s the trailer for the PS5 to back up that claim
Im just gonna quote myself here:
If you’re gonna hang out in a Playstation community its reasonable to expect some Playstation flavoured articles and opinions. If thats not what you want, im sure there are lots of other spaces out there.
This is a Playstation centric website.
If you’re gonna be an active user here, you should at least accept that this site will usually frame their articles through a Playstation lens, and some of its users will favour Playstation. Thats kind of the point of this site. That doesnt mean this site is hostile or unfair. If you prefer artciles to be biased towards other platforms, there’s PureXbox or Nintendo Life with their own communities. And if you prefer more impartial, platform agnostic communities im sure there are many if those as well.
Imagine if sports fans were this sensitive about what other teams fans say. Compared to them, gaming communities are incredibly chill. Atleast we’re not brawling in stadium parking lots.
And to be clear, im not into console wars at all either, but if you’re gonna hang out in a Playstation community its reasonable to expect some Playstation flavoured articles and opinions. If thats not what you want, im sure there are lots of other spaces out there
@RoomWithaMoose I totally understand you. The other day we just had a bit of a miscommunication. I was arguing with someone about whether the article was bashing Xbox, while you were debating whether it was biased or not. Two seperate things in my opinion, so that kinda got mixed up in the conversation.
But yes, as i said the other day, i actually totally agree with you that this site shows bias, but that comes with the territory of this being a Playstation centric website. Pure Xbox is also biased, that is just a given with these sites. I guess i just don’t let it bother me as much.
Speaking of bias, i believe Pure Xbox didn’t even cover these ex Microsoft executives quotes and the tensions between the studios and Microsoft. I think not covering it is also biased, wouldnt you agree?
However, many sites like IGN, Gamesradar, PCGamer, GameIndustry, NeoGaf etc all published articles about the Pete Hines and Shannon Loftis quotes.
My issue now is, in stead of focusing on the actual contents of the articles, which is whether these services are sustainable and what not, it doesnt get discussed, because most are now fighting these other battles.
For what it’s worth , here’s my stance on it. I actually like Gamepass (shocker, i know), but i genuinely don’t know if putting all the AAA games on it Day 1 is very sustainable long term. Microsoft says it is, so i didnt really question it. But now that ex Microsoft executives are saying thats theres real tension between the studios and MS, i believe that that might not entirely be the case.
And honestly, i still dont know whats true. But i am inclined to give these ex Microsoft executives the benefit of the doubt, just because we know the cost of AAA games and the fact that they are porting everything to Playstation makes me believe that there’s some truth to their concerns.
So personally, i believe that Sony approach, by not putting their first party titles Day 1 on sub services is the right move for them at the moment. I think the movie industry has landed on the sweet spot, where most films release in theater for a few months before they go to streaming services.
End of the day, i understand your frustration about bias. Its annoying, whether from websites or fanboys. I just try to tune it out and focus on people on this site that do have thoughtful and nuanced opinions on the industry
People here totally ignored the contents of the last article on Gamepass. It wasnt a dumping on Gamepass, it was ex Microsoft executives saying that MS doesnt properly value and reward its studios, which is causing a tension between them. But of course no one was talking about that, everyone went with the “why is Gamepass being dunked on narrative”
Now there’s a studio saying it was helped with funding and development, and in stead of talking about the content of the article, people wanna talk about “how biased this Playstation website is”
Smaller titles can benefit from services like Gamepass and PS+, but larger studios and games seem to not get properly rewarded when their games aren't sold and go directly to sub services, thats basically the takeaway here
Definitely one of the best consoles of all time. I got mine around a year after it released if i remember correctly, was still a kid back then. My first console before this was the Sega Megadrive and i had the Gameboy before that, damn how time flies
@Oram77 You talking about wrapping up the light vs darkness saga already goes a bit over my head. But thank you though, i appreciate the help. I might actually try the game out, see if i can make any sense of it 👍🏼
And to think Sony spent $3.5 billion on developer Bungie for its live service expertise, eh?
So, yeah, Destiny 2, huh? That’s a game – a Sony game! A game we’re totally writing about because we really like it, and not because PlayStation acquired the developer.
Also, if the people who say Push Square is only negative about Xbox related news could just read this article…
Sorry Sammy but that is some negative writing bro. That ending lol, i can almost see your eyes roll it’s so sarcastic! I think you were less ashamed writing about MindsEye than you were writing this
Heck i’m tagging @Ricky-Spanish @RoomWithAMoose for proof that even Sonys own studios catch the negativity and sarcasm. I guess Push Square isn’t that biased after all, they treat both sides equally 🤪
I’m not hating on you though Sammy, hope you don’t mind the little jab 🥰✌🏼

@PuppetMaster
He even says the Switch 2 is an incredible piece of hardware. He even compliments the engine for scaling so good on a handheld, and that they’re sure many people are going to thoroughly enjoy playing it on a Switch.
If people find his comparisons hard to take, they are going to have a real hard time when Digital Foundry releases their tech review for this game.
Personally, i am pretty amazed at how good the Switch 2 version looks. Sure, the original Switch ran some AAA games, but oftentimes they didnt really look all that appealing. But if the Switch 2 is capable of running new AAA games with this fidelity then thats seriously pretty impressive! 😍
Re: Enjoy the New Resident Evil Requiem Trailer with Improved PS5 Graphics
@LazyDaisy If Capcom releases trailers for the Switch 2 and PS5 that look different from eachother, then gaming sites are going to compare and discuss the two versions.
I think it’s a prettu reasonable take from a Playstation centric website to say that the Switch 2 trailer looks impressive, but that the Playstation version stands out more graphically. Gaming sites are gonna cover the differences and focus on the strength of the platforms they cater to.
Truly, what is it lately with all these complaints about this sites bias? Do people really expect a site like this to be impartial? Do you go to PureXbox to hear how awesome or how bad Gamepass is?
I didnt mean to imply you should go away. It’s a quote from my previous comment that wasn’t directed at you personally, but intended to be more of a general point. Like if people have trouble with this sites bias, there are many other sites who dont cater to a specific platform
Re: Enjoy the New Resident Evil Requiem Trailer with Improved PS5 Graphics
@LazyDaisy The wording isn’t sus, it’s actually pretty clear. They’re saying hey, there’s a trailer of Re9 on Switch 2, and while that looks pretty impressive for a handheld, it’s gonna look way better on a PS5, and here’s the trailer for the PS5 to back up that claim
Im just gonna quote myself here:
Re: Enjoy the New Resident Evil Requiem Trailer with Improved PS5 Graphics
Not this debate again…
This is a Playstation centric website.
If you’re gonna be an active user here, you should at least accept that this site will usually frame their articles through a Playstation lens, and some of its users will favour Playstation. Thats kind of the point of this site. That doesnt mean this site is hostile or unfair. If you prefer artciles to be biased towards other platforms, there’s PureXbox or Nintendo Life with their own communities. And if you prefer more impartial, platform agnostic communities im sure there are many if those as well.
Imagine if sports fans were this sensitive about what other teams fans say. Compared to them, gaming communities are incredibly chill. Atleast we’re not brawling in stadium parking lots.
And to be clear, im not into console wars at all either, but if you’re gonna hang out in a Playstation community its reasonable to expect some Playstation flavoured articles and opinions. If thats not what you want, im sure there are lots of other spaces out there
Re: Enjoy the New Resident Evil Requiem Trailer with Improved PS5 Graphics
Capcom really is on a creative streak. All these Re games have such beautiful and distinctive art styles

Re: 'It Saved the Game': Sword of the Sea Dev Praises Sony, Explains PS Plus Deal
@RoomWithaMoose I totally understand you. The other day we just had a bit of a miscommunication. I was arguing with someone about whether the article was bashing Xbox, while you were debating whether it was biased or not. Two seperate things in my opinion, so that kinda got mixed up in the conversation.
But yes, as i said the other day, i actually totally agree with you that this site shows bias, but that comes with the territory of this being a Playstation centric website. Pure Xbox is also biased, that is just a given with these sites. I guess i just don’t let it bother me as much.
Speaking of bias, i believe Pure Xbox didn’t even cover these ex Microsoft executives quotes and the tensions between the studios and Microsoft. I think not covering it is also biased, wouldnt you agree?
However, many sites like IGN, Gamesradar, PCGamer, GameIndustry, NeoGaf etc all published articles about the Pete Hines and Shannon Loftis quotes.
My issue now is, in stead of focusing on the actual contents of the articles, which is whether these services are sustainable and what not, it doesnt get discussed, because most are now fighting these other battles.
For what it’s worth , here’s my stance on it. I actually like Gamepass (shocker, i know), but i genuinely don’t know if putting all the AAA games on it Day 1 is very sustainable long term. Microsoft says it is, so i didnt really question it. But now that ex Microsoft executives are saying thats theres real tension between the studios and MS, i believe that that might not entirely be the case.
And honestly, i still dont know whats true. But i am inclined to give these ex Microsoft executives the benefit of the doubt, just because we know the cost of AAA games and the fact that they are porting everything to Playstation makes me believe that there’s some truth to their concerns.
So personally, i believe that Sony approach, by not putting their first party titles Day 1 on sub services is the right move for them at the moment. I think the movie industry has landed on the sweet spot, where most films release in theater for a few months before they go to streaming services.
End of the day, i understand your frustration about bias. Its annoying, whether from websites or fanboys. I just try to tune it out and focus on people on this site that do have thoughtful and nuanced opinions on the industry
Re: 'It Saved the Game': Sword of the Sea Dev Praises Sony, Explains PS Plus Deal
People here totally ignored the contents of the last article on Gamepass. It wasnt a dumping on Gamepass, it was ex Microsoft executives saying that MS doesnt properly value and reward its studios, which is causing a tension between them. But of course no one was talking about that, everyone went with the “why is Gamepass being dunked on narrative”
Now there’s a studio saying it was helped with funding and development, and in stead of talking about the content of the article, people wanna talk about “how biased this Playstation website is”
Smaller titles can benefit from services like Gamepass and PS+, but larger studios and games seem to not get properly rewarded when their games aren't sold and go directly to sub services, thats basically the takeaway here
Edit: Basically what @Weebleman said ^^^^
Re: Poll: Did You Buy a PS1 at Launch?
Definitely one of the best consoles of all time. I got mine around a year after it released if i remember correctly, was still a kid back then. My first console before this was the Sega Megadrive and i had the Gameboy before that, damn how time flies
Re: Destiny 2 Does Its Best Star Wars Impression with Renegades Expansion
@Oram77 You talking about wrapping up the light vs darkness saga already goes a bit over my head. But thank you though, i appreciate the help. I might actually try the game out, see if i can make any sense of it 👍🏼
Re: Destiny 2 Does Its Best Star Wars Impression with Renegades Expansion
@get2sammyb
Also, if the people who say Push Square is only negative about Xbox related news could just read this article…
Sorry Sammy but that is some negative writing bro. That ending lol, i can almost see your eyes roll it’s so sarcastic! I think you were less ashamed writing about MindsEye than you were writing this
Heck i’m tagging @Ricky-Spanish @RoomWithAMoose for proof that even Sonys own studios catch the negativity and sarcasm. I guess Push Square isn’t that biased after all, they treat both sides equally 🤪
I’m not hating on you though Sammy, hope you don’t mind the little jab 🥰✌🏼
