@Texan_Survivor and create a brand new live service game? 🤪

@mwatcher precisely.

@Th3solution I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure anything being "leaked" through ratings boards is basically because as soon as the game (or whatever) is rated, that information is just/needs to be public knowledge. Again, I might be wrong and it might differ from country to country.

I was excited for LEGO 2K Drive until the reports of the aggressive monetisation surfaced. I'd be down for LEGO 2K Goooal! as well, but there's no way it doesn't suffer from the same issue.

Also, rename LEGO 2K Drive to LEGO 2K Driiive!, you cowards.

@MFTWrecks London - loosely based on England 🤣

I think this song slapped and I don't care who knows it.👍

Probably the best thing that will come out of Skull & Bones' existence.

I have never had any interest in Avatar; I've not seen either of the films. However, after The Division and its sequel, I'm interested in Frontiers of Pandora purely based on the fact that Massive is developing it.

@LiamCroft if it feels good to play for a non-believer such as yourself, it must be doing something right 👍

(Also, at the end of the article, you have referred to the game as Sonic Champions, instead of Superstars)

Siren is back.

AND IT'S A LIVE SERVICE GAME 👍👍👍

@KaijuKaiser @NEStalgia I can't wait for Final Fantasy XVII to come out and be a match-3 puzzler so you two can join forces 👊

Ooooh finally! I'm in.

Didn't PlayStation just have have a big indie showcase last week? 😏

Spider-Man 2 aside, in regards to first-party releases, this presentation was a big fat nothing-burger. Sorry, but wasn't this supposed to "fill PlayStation fans in on the next era of PS5", or something to that effect? Damn, I don't even have a PS5 and that was depressing to watch.

As is always the case, the Warlocks get shafted with the worst armour set. I picked well back in 2014 👍

They should adapt the Ultimate Marvel version of Kraven; knocked out in one punch in his first meeting with Spider-Man 👍

Even as someone who plays solely on PC, I'm happy to wait 2-3 years for PS5 exclusives to make their way to PC. I transitioned from console to PC to give myself access to the biggest pool of games (basically anything that isn't Nintendo) possible without the need to own multiple machines. If I have to wait a while to play some of those games, that's fine; it's not like there's nothing else to do. As long as the ports are good, Sony can take its time.

@HotGoomba fighting to be able to connect a PSVR2 to a PC is one battle that'll net you nothing. 😏

All this talk of bad voice acting in Final Fantasy games and not one person has mentioned Stranger of Paradise 🤔

Rift Apart and Tsushima on PC please Sony.

Love is love, no matter your gender or sexual orientation. But in all seriousness, how dare this vocalist with neither influence over nor power to change the plot of this game ruin the Horizon series? 🙄

These sorts of people just continue to prove that there's no such thing as an intelligent bigot 👍

@AFCC don't be so quick to celebrate the death of live service games. Games as a service is only the latest in a long line of (potentially) scummy initiatives for publishers to squeeze more money out of consumers (and to cripple the used game market before that). Over the years we've had online multiplayer passes, DLC season passes, battle passes, microtransactions, loot boxes, games as a service... If games as a service dies out completely (which I don't think it will), something equally as - or more - predatory and scummy is 100% guaranteed to replace it.

@UltimateOtaku91 an article or two a week?! Often I'm seeing an article or two (or more) a day 🤣

I would assume that if this is true (which it probably isn't), it'd be Bluepoint who'd be tasked with making it happen? I'd definitely be down for Bloodborne remake, but part of me can't help but hold out hope that Sony lets Bluepoint loose on a potential Bloodborne 2.

Gravity Rush would be cool.

However, Bloodborne or we riot.

@Majed there was supposed to be a Sly Cooper CG animated film a good few years ago. There was even a teaser trailer for it, but the film never materialised.

@Edmilson6 Soul Sacrifice! I'd forgotten all about that. I put hundreds of hours into the vanilla game and Delta. This would definitely be my second choice.

The consumer friendly thing to do here would either be:
1. make it so that you can just buy a season with actual money and not silver
2. raise the minimum amount of silver you can buy to 1,200

But then again, I'm not a multi-million dollar company, so what the f**k do I know?

@Shad361 Generations is absolutely better than the Adventure games. Having a root canal done is better than Adventure 1.

@wiiware @Keyblade-Dan imagine if Microsoft had used that $69 billion to more competently fund, support and manage their existing developers/projects in the first place, let alone the potential $3 billion if the deal goes south.

The Last of Us on PC is going to be this year's Cyberpunk.

@GADG3Tx87 bought expansions/content for Destiny on one platform don't transfer to other platforms. Saves/characters do.

If anyone's taking anything hostage already, it's Sony; demanding contracts and assurances way beyond the typical third party publisher agreement.

What Jim fails to see is that of course MS will keep renewing the COD contract with PlayStation. It's a massive franchise that they'll continue to see revenue from; this is why MS hasn't revoked PlayStation players' access to things like Minecraft, Elder Scrolls Online, Fallout 76, etc, because they'll see a constant revenue stream from them even if it's on a rival platform.

@GADG3Tx87 that's different. In Microsoft's defence, they've left all existing games that they now own on PlayStation; games with pre-existing communities. What you're saying is: pull a pre-existing game that people are already playing and have paid money for from a rival console, which isn't comparable to potentially making future Call of Duty games exclusive.

I would expect the usual contract between Sony and Activision Blizzard is to put Call of Duty games on PlayStation for three years, then after that three years the contract gets looked at again and renewed. What Jim Ryan is scared of is that Microsoft won't renew the contract when the time comes, and he's essentially angling for Microsoft to put in writing that Call of Duty will remain on PlayStation consoles indefinitely. But I guarantee no other contract between a platform holder and third party publisher works that way.

Jesus, I've played 120-odd hours of StS and am not even close to getting every achievement/trophy

The console is the worst thing I've ever seen.
