How long do they have the IP and they couldn't come up with a game like Palworld?
It's utterly pathetic how incompetent these companies are.
One indie dev comes along and gives the fans the game they didn't know they wanted for decades on FIRST TRY.

Someone finally showed Nintendo how it's done and now they're mad lmao

Too bad the PS3 copies are so expensive nowadays.
Otherwise this one's gonna be fine with some patches. I'm curious if the lack of original soundtrack is gonna make a huge difference (not familiar with the game at all)

@Nei
DS2 and KCD2. First PS5 games I'm actually hyped for

@tameshiyaku
TF2 is just incredible.
But yeah, gamers are more critical of developers who always deliver high quality games.
I've seen some crazy criticism Uncharted 4 around the time. Arkham Knight is another example.
Both games have yet to be topped technically imho yet when they were released people were ungrateful in the strangest of ways.
Nowadays we'd wish games are half the quality of those games lol

@tameshiyaku
One of the best games period. Respawn has impeccable talent. Their games are very much needed in today's day and age of absolute slop

Why do modern games looks so clean? It looks so stupid and live service-y/ Fortnite-y...
Where's the proper SKATE grit?

I'm grateful for another Skate game, but since this is a heavily physics based game and modern games absolutely suck at physics, I'm not gonna have my hopes up sadly. Besides the importance of physics, it looks so bland man... What happened

@Troubbble
Censorship is a no-buy from me.
No siree! 😊

@themightyant
Yeah love the way that game looks lol!
I've got it in my wishlist and hoping to play it soon!

Can we have some physics again in games pls?
Remember when Spider-Man PS2 and GTA IV had incredible physics? Why don't we have that anymore?
Who cares about reflections

I don't give a crap about the setting, the players count, whatever.

The last fun BF was BFBC2 and BF3 to some extent. Go back to what made it all good. All these stupid gimmicks in modern gaming man. Useless

Honestly though, what's even the point anymore?
The base PS5 juice hasn't even been squeezed at 50%, yet we're getting the Pro lmao.
Where are the games that support these hardware?
RDR2 and TLOU2 are still the most impressive "next gen" games and they're last gen!

@Flaming_Kaiser
That's what I'm saying though. They've got the market covered.
Other companies who try this live service stuff fail miserably at the cost of hundreds of millions. Gotta love it

@UltimateOtaku91
No, but it's a Blizzard game and those are popular. The market isn't that big.
So watching other big companies try and fail miserably is a sight to behold.

It's a very risky strategy (but high regards), so maybe not even worth it

@XG4ever
Nope. Without Binding of Isaac it would be a niche genre

I got comfortable not owning Ubisoft games anymore.

^top comment and I completely agree

@rjejr
Yeah I've quit online games mostly for a while now. They really can prevent me from doing any of my backlog games. And I reaaally loved putting time into Rockstar League, Apex, Factions, etc.

If these Genshin type games weren't free to play and had a proper story without all the padding, I'd love them, but now I won't even bother

@playstation1995
Amen dude. Sony's gone full mental

@LordFunkalot
Tragic?

YES! Great to see it being covered!
Really hope it's gonna be a true Fall Guys competitor

SSJ4 design is just off the charts cool. Only thing I like about GT (although the last time I gave it a shot was 10 years ago lol and it didn't last long)

The PS5 showcase was showing TLOU2. A PS4 game. Of course it can't run the one and only true next gen game on 60fps. This is the biggest scam I've ever seen from Sony

@Decoy_Snake
The only relevant comment. Case closed. Period.

They also had the audacity to only show older games for their Pro showcase.
THEY KNOW THEIR GAMES DON'T ACTUALLY JUSTIFY A PRO CONSOLE.
This is absolute madness. Their showcase was full of TLOU2 gameplay, because that's their most advanced game imo.
So why would a PS5 Pro be necessary if a BASE PS4 can handle their best game...?

I am so baffled by all of this, it's pure and utter insanity. Sony's gone full clown. 🤡

@Vaako007
You're right. Zip it. Let these corpos run amok, be consoomers, don't complain to the overlords.

Yes. It's all optional. Concord was an optional game. No need to complain about it. They threw their main PS5 game Factions 2 off a cliff and kept financing this atrocity.

PSVR2 is optional. Don't complain about not getting games for it.
PS VITA was optional. Why complain to the overlords. You bought it at a high price. You got shafted. So what? It was optional.

It's all freaking optional. You do know that right?

@BiosNova
I beg to differ. Of course you're right, but during the PS1,2,3 era they did their best to bring out stellar games to convince consumers to buy their console and keep buying their games.
Now they don't even do that anymore. They expect people to just buy everything, because they're a household name by now.

@Neither_scene
There's nothing about the PS5 pro that is pro consumer. They've been slowly going towards the digital only direction for a while now. They'll use all kinds of excuses like less plastic, better for the environment, cheaper, etc. But in the end it's for the bottom line, period.

Games have been utterly unimpressive. The best looking games are still on PS4. No game on the PS5 has been truly next gen to even warrant the console's existence. Yet they release a Pro version as a goddamn gimmick apparently, cause if it's not for the games, then what is it for?

What a joke of a gen. Sony can stick that inevitable digital only PS6 up their butt and keep it. I'll go back to Nintendo after 5 generations lol

But reality is, history will repeat itself. Sony's flying too close to the sun, just like after the PS2's success. The only difference is that the games saved the PS3. Those were impressive, incredible games that have yet to be topped by PS5 games in terms of everything but graphics.
The PS5 doesn't have that luxury. There's a chance PS6 won't do so well. People are waking up to these atrocious anti-consumer 1984 type BS

@Arkz
Same. I upgraded to Pro.
PS5 just doesn't even have anything to push the base console, let alone a Pro version.
This is absolute madness from Sony. Useless hardware.

They're forgetting that games should back up a console's existence. It all feels so Ubisoft-y.
"Eh who cares if it sucks or nobody needs it, just release it and they'll buy it anyway"...
PS1 to PS4 were all justified by their games.

PS5 couldn't even release Factions 2. I've never seen this many disappointments during a gen smh

@thefourfoldroot1
Yeah lol you are probably right on the nose. So many people and it leads to something this bland...
Just proves that normal people don't dare to speak up anymore in fear of being offensive to these crazies who run the show lately by victimizing themselves 24/7

The cheekbones are too sharp. Me as a person with fatty cheekbones am offended and I'm taking it to Twitter to demand this artist gets silenced, fired or demonitized weee

Seriously thouy, those are valid points he makes. Especially on the robot one. It's like toddlers made this game, but toddlers are actually creative. These were adults who took 8 years to design this crap. It's utterly baffling

@yohn777
Pretty graphics are nothing.
Every single one of these "next gen" AAA games have worde physics, worse gameplay, worse world building, worse NPC intelligence, worse NPC interaction, worse animations, worse world interaction, worse writing, worse everything BUT graphics than those two little PS3 games.

Funny how you said "narrative that PS3 games are more graphically advanced". You took the one single aspect modern games are better at while in every other aspect they're beat.
Idc about the PS3. The point is that it's 2 generations ago and we're going backwards. GTA IV had insane car, body and object physics and mechanics. To me it's still not beat and it's clear as day. I'm baffled anyone would even try to dispute this point. Crazy.

I keep saying it. The problem we have is not powerful enough consoles.
The problem is that all the games we get nowadays are technically inferior to even PS3 games like GTA IV and V or RDR1. Let alone RDR2.

Maybe release some proper "next gen" games first before you release the most unnecessary Pro version ever.

@danzoEX
Biggest Sony fan since PS1. I've had it with them. Garbage company. PS6 can kiss my butt

@johnedwin
We struggle to get games nowadays that can match GTA IV and V technically ON PLAYSTATION 3, but everything besides PS5 pro is gonna have technical issues...?

The problem we have is not powerful enough consoles. The problem we have is unoptimized garbage games that are inferior to even PS3 games. GTA 6 is going to be just fine on PS5

But... The most advanced games are still on PS4... RDR2 and TLOU2 for instance.
There's nothing on PS5 that tops those... Why in gods name would I ever consider this machine? To play Concord!?

@Ryu_Niiyama
This shouldn't be the norm though in normal office jobs.
These crazy adult entitled babies at these game companies who make terrible games shouldn't be surprised though. That's how the industry works. Your income/ work is based on the success of the product you're working on.
But I'm not expecting these babies to be prepared to the consequences of adult life. They're too busy whining on X about how much of a victim they are and how everyone else sucks.

Off topic:
Not sure what the word is on Faaast Penguin, but the trailer had me seriously hyped and I hope you guys cover it soon!

@GamingFan4Lyf
You kinda got me hyped lmao.
I haven't watched any gameplay on purpose, so I've had to take people's word for it, but man... I'm kinda craving the game lol

Honestly, as good as this game is, I thought it was gonna be a 40 bucks game for some reason.
70 bucks is way too steep for me right now for anything less than Rockstar/ Naughty Dog quality (maybe scope is the better word)

What an absolute goddamn giga chad. Honestly.

The reason we've got all these astronomical failures at Sony and even the whole industry, is because there is not a person like him at the top who can say NO. Enough of this nonsense.

Give the players what they want. Enough of this crap. Life's already lonely and depressing. People want a distraction. Give them some fun. Enough of the politics. Enough of the pandering.
People are good. They don't need lecturing. Fans don't need to be the target for "being the cause of all kinds of hate". No more.

@GymratAmarillo
Jeez I'd wish more games took 8 years and 300 million. That's not a bad thing.
If Ubisoft games had that kinda dedication Id be their biggest fan.
The problem with Concord was that it was a garbage copycat from day 1 and Sony higher ups failed at stopping the project

@Vaako007
I love this so much. Let them rot for all I care.
The world is healing and I'm grinning

@jrt87
Lmao it's always so telling when people discredit themselves by saying the pinnacle of a medium is bad... It's so laughable.
The best game technically, in writing, immersion, in details, gameplay, etc. is still RDR2. No PS5 game can hold a candle to it.

No openworld game besides Rockstar's has topped the PS3 game GTA IV. That is FOUR! It's insane how many mediocre openworld games we get TIME AND AGAIN and how people damage control them while hating on Rockstar. What a joke, honestly.

@Deljo
Everybody knows about emulation. That's irrelevant.
You can download every single movie as well, so why get Netflix?
The point is the convenience and the library it offers, which this kinda lacks

That's a shame. I wanted a Forza Horizon type game for PS5, because Crew sucks so insanely hard and this is not good either apparently...

Crazy. I love it. A game purely focused on FUN! No other crazy nonsense.
I hope this game breaks all the records. This is what we need. The world is healing

They've got an absolute goldmine, but they've been playing it safe for a couple of generations now. They've got more than freaking Nintendo.

Astrobot is cool and all, but why couldn't a Sackboy game be that good? Sackboy used to be their mascot bigtime ans they've wasted it like many others. Also, where's Cole from Infamous? Where is the next Infamous game period

@Acquiescence
You guys want actual fun games!? Without BS politics and pandering!?
What is this madness!?

-Sony probably

Day 1 Konami buy? What is this madness?
Deliver fun games and people will buy them? Wow crazy

Yeah how about you enjoy my double wallet dip as I avoid both SW Outlaws and this gem of a turd

@Truegamer79
Then go and watch some comparisons. I'm not even a big AC fan. Ubisoft games have tons of comparison compilations of old vs new. They were very immersive. Mission design I could agree, but the rest DEFINITELY not.

You can't create such a huge franchise on garbage. I'd play AC1 over this crap any day of the week

@Truegamer79
This is such an NPC thing to say. This is the reason we have mediocre games all the time, because you guys keep defending this crap.

The first AC had incredible world building, polished gameplay, incredible city, good story, very immersive allround. That was 2 generations ago.

This pile of dogpoop has absolutely nothing redeemable about it. AI on PS2 games is better, I've played more immersive PS2 games, physics are better in PS2 games, writing is better in PS2 games, I can go on.
Wtf is wrong with people

I mean what else can you expect from people who actually went and bought this crap?

@MrSensical
Not sure I'd consider anything from anyone who paid for this as cool lol

Jeez, couldn't they have picked a more uplifting setting lmao
