„Good evening from Belgrade! Fantastic show! 12 points from Serbia go to … Montenegro! Congratulations!“

@BrotherFilmriss That would be huge! This, or Blasphemous 2, or Talos Principle 2. With Blasphemous 2 being one of the favorites of the PS staff members.

@Luvstagrind PushSquare is basically the Inofficial PlayStation Blog.

@Deoxyr1bose Exactly

That sounds reasonable, sadly. Now the gameplay designers are probably working on the next GoW generation which could differ from the current one quite a lot. In the meantime, the other devs need something to do. And it’s not the first time that a PS Studio is remaking older games for PS5. My guesses:
1) Kratos‘ model will be derived from the latest one, just without beard and younger.
2) A PC release.
3) A new TV series … wait

Shadow Gambit gets some love, nice!

@Matter No, it will be those spiders, because.

@ApostateMage You‘re right! For being „only“ a DLC, Phantom Liberty is very meaty, could also be a stand-alone spinoff. Shame that it’s not included in the list here.

Probably one of only a few GotY votings in which Spidey is a big winner, while BG3 is not.

A fantastic year for gaming indead, definitely more Smeagol than Gollum.

@jedinite The numbers I set the link for include UK and GER. This is also the reason why „my“ numbers say 1.7m, while the numbers in the article say 1.0m.

These are strong numbers indeed. VGChartz estimates 1.7m units. But Switch is not too shabby with 500k in its last big Christmas. Xbox meanwhile… And these numbers include UK, the last stronghold for MS on this side of the pond.
Congratulations to Sony!

This plan is bad. Sony won’t pay, and 2m is too high for anybody else. In the end, these criminals will publish all documents for free. I hope these people will get caught.

Interesting picture in the title! Should it indicate that the PS5 console is still heavily subsidized to gain market share?

@mariomaster96 This is just sad. Hundreds of hours of fantastic and unique gameplay, worlds and stories (and probably even some insights about human nature) vs. a car model in Fortnite.

11 out of 20 is totally random if there are only two answers given. So the readers are as clever as a monkey casting dice.

@Splat It’s the same as with Reggie, who got a VirtualBoy with all released games.

Looking forward to bold statements from Josef Fares on stage with The Geoff.

@MidnightDragonDX PS4 was more successful than you might think:

Unfortunately, none of these games is essential.

Does the Ultimate Edition include this version 2.1? If not, what’s the point of the Ultimate Edition at all?

This trailer represents perfectly the trailers in the show themselves: a series of unrelated cinematic footages, and gameplay only there where it is unavoidable (Super Mario Wonder).

RE4 VR for me. 45 min of that is exhausting and satisfying and feels like 2 hours of other games. So I will basically save valuable time!

I saw that footage, not remarkable at all. Could be a Spider-Man 2 footage, and most people wouldn’t know.

This looks really intense … and fantastic! If there is just one PSVR2 game per year on that level, I would be totally happy with my goggles.

So THAT‘s a World Premiere!

Yes, this great (because highly profitable) Live Service Games future of PlayStation Hermen and the gang are dreaming about. Seems that not many of us are looking forward to it. PS6 will be adorably all-digital. And PS7 will be subscription-based-only, because, who is still buying songs at the iTunes Store?

„Original creative vision“, probably the devs themselves found the original design too much. In my opinion, their new design is more acceptable for mature people and so a more mature design.

@stefan771 I thought I’m the only one who finds this game too long and therefore ill-paced. But for some gamers longer means better, and publishers want to advertise with superlatives.

@Mostik Remember that these US prices typically don’t include VAT.

@DualWielding I‘m optimistic that SIE will add more capabilities over time via firmware updates both for the PS5 and the Portal. PS Plus Premium cloud gaming is almost a given, improvements for the streaming itself (picture quality and especially latency) could likely follow. But I don’t believe in PS1, PS2 and PSP games running natively on the Portal. Not because it wouldn’t be possible, but because it would make the product too complex; people would be disappointed that not PS3/4/5/Vita games would run at it. And putting emulators and an ISO management system onto the Portal with complete PSN integration would require an enormous amount of software development, while you could also easily stream them like all the other games. So no, no native software.

Sony could also need some more VR dev teams. Otherwise its PSVR efforts will remain on a low level. Apple will enter the MR market and will probably give it a major boost. And now we’re laughing about the metaverse, but it could really be a thing in the future (okay, maybe not the one from Meta).

It looks practically like the PS4 version with the PS5 patch. And that was such a long linear experience that I think the devs had a reason to cut content. There are so many new fantastic games out there, I will play them instead.

@LordVile To ensure posting the first comment, do a very quick and short post, and then edit it.

@MrGawain Fortunately there are many great third-party games which are interesting and not already smoothed out like a pepple. I see the PS5 as a platform which offers a few great exclusives and PSVR2, compared to Xbox, but it is not groundbreaking at the moment. And sadly the most new IPs will be for Live Service BS.

I assume this is the result of the OG model phasing out while the Slim model not being available yet. This is a trend for several weeks now. And it shows bad planning of SIE, they should always serve the demand.

@Shepherd_Tallon I know, and here we talk about devs from Insomniac, Bluepoint, Santa Monica, Naughty Dog etc., spoiled by success. Their single-player games of the past, with physical releases and without the need for active servers, will last. GaaS though?

@get2sammyb True, and I feel sorry for the devs. They know that they are working on a game for several years, and the probability that this game will be shut down after 18 months or so is higher than 50%. How can you motivate a team with this perspective?

@get2sammyb An overtake by Christmas is likely, but not guaranteed at all. For the last generation, Christmas sales seemed to be much more important than they are now:

Would love to see a comparison with the sales numbers of the first MSM, after one week and total sales.

GTA6 will be the biggest „conventional“ video game in the world, by budget and sales targets. It also aims on the casual console gamers, who almost only buy their CoD and FC/Madden each and every year, and almost nothing else. And many of these casual gamers still play on their PS4 and Xbox One. So definitely YES.

Keep calling it „Slim“ PushSquare, because everyone immediately knows what it means.

Speculation: Maybe it includes an updated Bad Words list. While the Switch needs a full restart, here it could be realised without.

Dunkey was spot on with this video:

Why this negativity here? Of course he wants our money. And if the product is worth it to me, I‘m happy to spend it. And yes, he acts hypocritical, because he wouldn’t allow Sony to bring PS Plus to Xbox, as Sony will not allow MS to bring GP. Just standard marketing speech, nothing to complain too much.

@Chapapa Don’t feel ashamed, it’s actually from Zürich.
