Ah you cant slam up a picture of a PS2 Simpsons title, and then when I read the headline its just fluff, not the announcement of it being playable/remastered
@LifeGirl It must be an ego thing. Presumably, he relishes being the "face" of video games. And it works for the industry as a whole because he bends over backwards for corporate interests. He suddenly spoke out about all the industry losses today, weird to hear no comment from the face of games...but he had to so he could start promoting this. Box ticking exercise.
He's awful at it, absolutely no sauce. He should keep the event going and farm out presenting duties. But without a mass revolt from viewers, the industry is happy to keep him in place to do this.
Clout chasers online mock up and "report" credible stuff based on predictions. Before the Switch 2 and PS5 Pro rumours were actually backed up, there were years of fake rumours about it.
It's the equivalent of putting $500 on Red at roulette and if it comes in red declaring yourself a soothsayer. You'll often find with these leakers, if you dig into their online presence, a list of failed "leaks" (read: guesses)
That sucks. I dont want to play another 100 hours of Valhalla re-skinned. I already did that. Didnt even play the DLC because I didnt want another 30 hours.
@Ravensbane the article tells your he's a rapper, has tracks featured on GTA V and it's the 10th anniversary of an album of his.
I think the article gives you plenty of context for who he is, people still feel it's interesting to tell people "never heard of him". I couldn't care less
I honestly think the beta was really fun, they added some great extra characters too. I'm super curious what they've been working on for an entire year for the proper release.
@TwoDents it would have already been in development when they bought Bethesda I think, there's a PS5 build of Starfield that was worked on until they were told to stop after the acquisition.
There must be some mad game preservation obsessed employee within Disney.
I would not have expected to see this level of dedication to keeping classics playable, especially at a mega corp like Disney but over and over again, they keep releasing classic titles on new consoles. Hell they're holding up the entire PS Plus Premium catalog
@Triumph741 huh? The article is about the game at number 1 in the chart. So it is being bought.
Like I said, it's folks like us hating that are in the bubble. If we were to go with our gut feelings on the game and thoughts about it, it wouldn't break the top 10. But it has. So we were all wrong
completely baffling alongside the HZD remake. the stories in these games are not interesting enough to deem a repeat.
Unless they are now using this route as a Dev proving ground to see if they greenlight them a proper budget/acquisition by sony, I'm starting to find these choices more and more insane as more of them get announced.
I'm curious: if these titles sell well on Playstation will Microsoft double down on the strategy or will it make them think "these games are important" and hold on to more of them.
@Dom_31 I feel like with a lot of stuff similar to Kojimas style, in movies or other media forms, theres eventually a pay off.
Whereas with Kojima games, it eventually pays off and the reaction is like "oh, that is literally even dumber than I imagined it could be, and it looked pretty dumb in the first place".
I remember SteelRising before release, and then I think Lies of P just deleted it from my memory. Turns out its a different game. Will be checking that out.
@Brasilkilla I would rather an easy list then an absolute grind fest. MK1 has a weird set. All very achievable, and then the level up 5 kameos to 15 trophy that would literally take hundreds of hours
I played DD for maybe an hour. Made my character, did some exploring, walked for maybe 20 minutes, got killed by something and it inexplicably spawned me at the start of the level so I had to do the 20 minute walk again.
maybe this will mean all those fan surveys to Capcom where I've written "MAKE MORE PHOENIX WRIGHT GAMES" over and over again will finally come to fruition

Re: PS5 Pro's Rumoured Spectral Super Resolution Tech Could Be Transformative
@BossBE yuppp.
Also, everything that isn't food, water and oxygen is unnecessary really. Everything else is just niceties you can choose to engage in or not.
Re: Sony Reportedly Undertaking Internal Investigation Following Leaked PS5 Pro Specs
Personally, I'm happy with 60FPS, so getting 60 plus some extra goodies with this new console would be a plus for me.

Looks awful. Prove me wrong.

@carlos82 I will always be baffled why people make these performative "WHO" comments over celebrities/musicians, like clockwork.

Re: Mini Review: Pentiment (PS5) - A Slow-Burning 16th-Century Murder Mystery
@bpomber Agreed. They dont stamp this on Yakuza reviews, but I very much know I don't enjoy the beat em up gameplay
Re: UK Sales Charts: Helldivers 2 Bucks Industry Trend with Rising Weekly Sales
I bit today.
the FOMO was unbearable from the great clips online, plus the server side has been increased again so hopefully i'll get in
Re: Xbox's Pentiment Is Out Now on PS5, PS4
@Quintumply thats really decent!
Re: Xbox's Pentiment Is Out Now on PS5, PS4
Decent price I was expecting to pay more. Wonder what Hi-Fi will cost. £60 seems too high, £16 seems too low.
Re: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (PS5) - Strong Sequel Seeks a New Direction
I appreciate you knocking the crap side missions.
They are abysmal in 7 and FF16 and it is definitely worth highlighting.
Re: Xbox Games Hi-Fi Rush, Sea of Thieves, Pentiment, Grounded All Confirmed for PS5, PS4
"We'll allow the Devs to announce these titles at their own time"
dumps all 4 dates in a soulless press release a week later
What did Phil mean by this
Re: Xbox Game Hi-Fi Rush Announced for PS5, Out Next Month
Well, by not making this official last week and bridging the rumours properly, we've got another classic unlisted youtube video announcement.
What are these companies paying PR firms for? Clown show

Re: Borderlands Film Shares First Look at Its Live-Action Cast
there is a near 0% chance this is good, based on all the delays
Re: Biggest Dying Light 2 Update Yet Has a PS5, PS4 Reloaded Edition
I actually think this game deserves a re-review.
I played it on launch and found it lacking. I'd love to know if its improved enough to warrant re-trying it.
Also, all the updates and DLC are free right?
Re: Xbox Fans Petitioning for Helldivers 2 to Launch on Xbox
Why not. I think they should do it.
Re: PS1 Racer Jet Moto 2 Brings High-Octane Thrills and Spills to PS5, PS4 with PS Plus Premium
I actually really enjoyed playing the first title (and a pretty easy plat also), which I didnt play back in the PS1 days.
Will probably give this a go!
Re: Sony Predicts Slide in PS5 Sales with No Major Existing IPs Planned Before March 2025
Funny to think that Microsoft may well be pulling a blinder and filling in the PS Studios gaps here.
Could see titles like Starfield selling over 10 million copies if its really as sparse as it sounds.

Re: Rumour: Xbox's Indiana Jones Game Also Being 'Considered' for PS5
So that is 3 titles. Hi-Fi Rush, Indiana Jones and Starfield
I wasnt gonna buy an Xbox. So Microsoft will make £0 from me currently.
However if true, I will buy all 3 games, and Microsoft will have £210 they would never have gotten without this change in strategy.
good for business surely.

Re: UK Sales Charts: Suicide Squad Swings Past Persona 3 Reload for Number One Debut
Absolutely proof that the enthusiast bubble is blocking folks on here's judgement.
Outside of it, lots of people who dont read websites like this every day also game. And guess what? They like superhero stuff and they like shooters.
Re: Rumour: Xbox Console Exclusive Starfield Is Setting a Course for PS5

Re: Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League (PS5) - Rocksteady's Big Gamble Just About Pays Off
I knew this would be the case. The game is "fine". Some may really like it. Others won't
Its a GAAS, which some people hate and has basically started this ongoing media pile-on. Its not a 1/10.

@McBurn As a bloodborne fan...lol
Re: Rumour: Dragon's Dogma 2 Runs at 30fps on PS5
@Loamy I have no idea why dragon dogmas fans are so defensive of the awful pawn system.
This game would be no fun if I could play with my friends instead of braindead useless ai companions!
Re: Rumour: Dragon's Dogma 2 Runs at 30fps on PS5
No online coop and 30fps?!
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth?
@Nepp67 opposite here. Hated the brawler combat and have only got into the series due to the change.
Re: Outriders Dev People Can Fly Reportedly Hit by Layoffs
Not looking good there, Outriders was unprofitable and what should have been a quick win, Bulletstorm VR, is turning into a PR disaster.
Sucks, they're a decent dev. They seem to have 5 projects in development. They're gonna need a hit there otherwise I think its over for them
Re: Tekken 8's Trophy List Provides a Pretty Easy Platinum
@Brasilkilla I'm with ya, although it has to be a well made, play tested hard mode.
Nothing worse than slamming your head up against a game where the dev has just quadrupled the damage and halved your health bar
Re: Tekken 8's Trophy List Provides a Pretty Easy Platinum
@Brasilkilla I would rather an easy list then an absolute grind fest. MK1 has a weird set. All very achievable, and then the level up 5 kameos to 15 trophy that would literally take hundreds of hours
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Director Says Travel Isn't Boring, Your Game Is
I played DD for maybe an hour. Made my character, did some exploring, walked for maybe 20 minutes, got killed by something and it inexplicably spawned me at the start of the level so I had to do the 20 minute walk again.
I didnt, I uninstalled it and moved on.

Re: Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy (PS4) - More Camp Courtroom Escapades in Quality Collection
@Bentleyma
I think I'm gonna go Tekken, then play this between sessions, before moving onto Infinite Wealth, then P3:R. It's a wild time of year.
