The Twitter console war is ablaze with people using this as ammo.

I simply reply this is bad news. Any company focusing on this is wanting you to live in a game and all this means is less innovation and new experiences and more of, what can get people addicted to our game? Just a larger attempt at ripping off Fortnite, COD, etc.

Sony must not be thinking about the fact that if they push heavily to PC, many people may migrate there and that just means huge losses of revenue/profit from their PS Store.

They may gain some software sales on PC but will lose sales from MTX on games like Fortnite and COD if people abandon their store.

They should just say, being profitable isn’t enough, they need ALL THE PROFITS, ALL THE MONEY!!!

Thats why exclusives are dying and everyone is chasing GaaS.

Well, the only thing to do is to double down, no, triple down on GaaS.

@MFTWrecks I would much rather have a new Immortals than a new Assassins Creed.

They did a really good job with the first one, I would like to see how they could have improved it.

This news is boring as hell.

I liked Black Flag and the Assassins Creed series, but damn, Im ready for them to ditch it like they have with Watch Dogs.

Im ready some NEW experiences.

I haven’t owned an Xbox since the 360, my buddy never has. We both bought a Series X two years ago due to the lack of 1st party output by Sony.

Don’t misread that. We still have PS5s, but we bought Xboxs to go with them, when we haven’t for years or ever.

Even now, I still believe the PS5 generation is easily the worst PlayStation generation ever.

The PS3 experience absolutely destroys the PS5.

Uncharted 1-3
TLoU
Resistance 1-3
Motorstorm 1-3
Infamous 1-2 and Vampire DLC
Killzone
God of War Asc and 3
Little Big Planet 1-3
Puppeteer

and many more along with many fantastic 3rd party titles.

You read all that and it sounds like im miserable. Im not. I enjoy gaming, but it peaked during the 360/PS3 gen and has slowly gotten worse, tho still enjoyable.

@nomither6 I caught your sarcasm.

Now, lets look back to the PS3 generation.
Uncharted 1-3
Resistance 1-3
Motorstorm 1-3
LBP 1-3
TLoU
God of War Ascension and 3
Infamous 1-2 and vampire DLC
Gran Turismo
LBP Karting
Mod Nation Racer
The Puppeteer
Killzone

And more that don’t immediately come to mind and all the fantastic 3rd party titles introduced during that gen.

Spec Ops the Line
Bioshock 1-3
GTA4, Max Payne and GTAV
Demon Souls
Far Cry 3
Assassins Creeds

That was a fantastic gen.

I could easily keep going but decided to cut it short.

No, the PS5 is easily the most disappointing generation of PlayStation Ive ever experienced.

@AfroMario I bought a series x a couple years back and out of all the Xbox games I’ve played even though I don’t care for survivor games this game grabbed me more than any other.

Im not a fan of survivor games but I absolutely loved this game and highly recommend it.

I loved the world and exploring it. I love the characters and the story was very good overall as well. The gameplay was very enjoyable.

I know sea of thieves gets all the hype, but I enjoyed this way more than sea of thieves. Though it’s a good game as well.

That’s fantastic news. I haven’t played it yet but when I do I’ll definitely play on that mode.

The greatness streak continues.

PlayStation is king,

We’ve experienced the greatness with the PS1 generation, the PS2 generation, the PS3 generation, the PS4 generation and now we can add the PSPC generation to that list.

My bad, I forgot the PS5. Well, it feels like Sony has too. It doesn’t deserve to be on that list regardless.

With companies implementing greedy practices and launching more and more games in an un-optimized states I have no issue waiting for a huge sale.

If you are a fan of Honey I Shrunk the Kids, I absolutely recommend buying Grounded. I’m not a fan of survival games, but I ended up absolutely loving Grounded. I love the world, the characters, the story, the creatures, the exploration, and the secrets. It’s easily one of my favorite Xbox games.

It’s fun playing solo and it’s great playing with friends. This game deserves to be a huge success. I know Sea of thieves gets all the glory, but I’m a bigger fan of grounded.

@koverby

Traditionally I would buy it day 1.

I wanna share something that annoys the hell out of my friend and I.

Back in the day, there were always games/etc that we wanted to buy but money was an issue.

Now, we are both better off in our lives, money isn’t really an issue, but the game industry as a whole doesn’t tempt us enough to buy games, or things like a PS5 Pro etc. It’s annoying to have the money, but not the interest.

Last gen I bought a PS4, PS4 Pro and then 2 PSVR headsets to complement the systems.

This gen I bought a PS5 and Series X.

I would have to be EXTREMELY impressed to even think about buying a PS5 Pro and ray tracing sure as sh*t ain’t it.

The only time ray tracing has impressed me was with Spider-Man.

Here the industry is pushing a PS5 Pro and it feels like Sony has BARELY utilized the PS5 itself and I’ve had the thing since day one.

I have ZERO hype for this.

I remember back then that it gave me a little trouble and slalom gave me trouble due to my age. Luckily, many games experimented in different types of games and I remember playing an Olympics game that had that word in it and I remember thinking that’s where you have to ski down between flags and maybe that means drive between the poles in this game. Luckily, I was right.

I ended up loving the game But the final mission was insanely difficult As well. I remember trying to beat it for a few hours. I was very angry and went to bed and when I got up the next morning I beat it on my first try. It was crazy.

@Ainu20 LOL, I really liked Kingdom of Amalur as well.

I started it tonight and it absolutely hooked me straight from the beginning I was down with the Oliver twist vibes with an avenging tale.

Marketing for this game was horrible for me. Anytime I saw it. It was always showing gameplay which is fine and I thought it always looked fine but it never hooked me.

So far I’ve liked the characters, the world ,the graphics, the story, the gameplay, the exploration, the puzzles and I’ve liked the platforming.

If I knew I would’ve enjoyed it this much back when it launched I would’ve bought it day one or shortly after.

I played it, it’s their own fault.

They were already ripping off Splatoon, they should have completely ripped it. Death match in that game isn’t fun compared to mixing in painting the environment.

I prefer 40fps for consoles.

@Mikey856 The PS3 is my favorite generation.

PlayStation has been the most disappointing it’s ever been for me. The shows and lack of news has been really bad.

I have zero hype.

The vast majority of this generation has been cross-gen games, it doesn’t feel like developers have came close to pushing the PS5, so, unless my PS5 dies I have little interest in a pro, and I bought a PS4 Pro when it released.

I’m a pretty big fan of VR. I’ve owned a few PS VR‘s and oculus quests.

It likely wasn’t possible but they should’ve either skipped the PS five generation, or released it at a later date.

It was just really bad luck that the PS VR two released pretty much when the PS five really became available due to Covid and scalpers.

It’s crazy that the PS VR two‘s biggest competitor was the PlayStation five itself.

Just an FYI my typing looks a little weird because I did this by voice.

I literally laughed when I read realistic tactical shooter inspired by Modern Warfare.

Sony just needs to copy Nintendo.

I wish my PS5 received as much attention from Sony as PC’s have.

This gen is a bad joke in comparison to previous gen’s.

I wish the PS5 got as much attention from Sony as PC does.

They are constantly getting something to look forward too, and PS5 owners are still left in the dark.

Sure, go ahead. I can skip your next GaaS game just as easily as I have Suicide Squad.

In recent years, it’s became really easy to skip games.

The years they took to release Dreams for it to fall flat definitely didn’t work in their favor.

I imagine they have a lot on the line with their next project.

A new traditional Little Big Planet sounds like the safest bet.

If it’s quality was as good as the old games, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

@nomither6 Yup.

I would go back to that experience in a heartbeat.

It’s likely an unpopular opinion, but this current generation of Series X and PS5 sucks in comparison to previous gen’s.

I miss the games and experiences the 360/PS3 generation delivered.

I just want a modern day PlayStation 3 experience.

I want a fantastic game that offers 7 to 18 hours of gameplay with a tacked-on multiplayer.

I would be down for a new linear Resistance that ran around 11 hours with a multiplayer.

I would be down for a new Infamous in a smaller map with a linear story.

Whatever it takes to get costs down but games in my hands at a quicker pace.

Waiting 5-7 years for these 30+ hour games sucks. Take me back to the 3-4 year development times of smaller games. Uncharted two and three immediately come to mind.

@Decimateh-xblz Redfall is a solid game to me. I haven’t beaten it yet due to that I play it co-op with my kids and only play it when they are in the mood for it, though I would be happy to play it by myself.

The 60fps and advanced controls options patch has improved the experience.

It definitely gives Far Cry vibes if you are into that franchise.

@Decimateh-xblz The only game I haven’t played of the 4 is Pentiment.

1) Grounded
2) Sea of Thieves
3) Hi-Fi

They are all worth playing. I’ve actively played Grounded on and off for the last year. I’m really looking forward to their next update. I would have LOVED it as a kid. Hell, I love it now.

@Juanalf Red Fall after all its updates is easily a solid 7/10 at the worst.

@Jayslow I’ve played a majority of those games and I highly recommend Grounded. It’s easily my favorite of the bunch.

Survival games are NOT my thing but It’s the best survival game I’ve ever played. I enjoyed the characters, voice acting, a legit story, the world, the sense of exploration that contributes to the upgrade system.

I beat 4 bosses of Hi-Fi rush and quit. It’s not for me. That took roughly 3-6 hours. I gave it a fair shake.

Grounded deserves way more attention and praise than it gets. It should have been huge.

I believe I heard there is another huge update coming for it in April and I’ll happily jump back in.

My best friend and I both used the trick to get three years for pretty cheap.

After that, I’ll treat it like any other subscription service. I’ll unsubscribe for a good while, sub for 1-3 months to play what I want, then unsubscribe again.

I sure as hell miss how PlayStation was during the previous generations.

There is still a big part of me that thinks much of the PS5’s success is hugely due to the loyalty built with the previous generations. Hell, that’s why I bought 1 day 1.

The PS3 generation was something else.
Uncharted 1-3
Infamous 1-2&DLC
Resistance 1-3
2or3 Ratchet and Clanks
Motorstorm 1-3
Gran T
The Last of Us
Killzone
God of War 3
Little Big Planet 1-3

And more, The Puppeteer, etc.

This generation has be so disappointing in comparison.

Im a strong supporter of exclusives and feel that they are the driving factor for high quality and pushing the limits of the tech.

Im against Xbox or PlayStation being on each other’s consoles and for that matter, Im against either of their games coming to PC any faster than a year after their release.

Just an FYI, I own many consoles. PS5, Series X, Steamdeck and the Switch.

@danzoEX Me. FF barely moves the needle for me.

I learned my lesson with MK1. WB games are bargain bin games.

I played it when it was new and though it was a good game, it wasn’t great like many were making it out to be. I beat 3 or 4 bosses and then quit. I felt like I gave it enough time to grab me but it wasn’t my thing.

It really sucks that after a studio that’s known for some fantastic games, maybe some of the best ever, takes all these years to release this.

I may be incorrect, but I believe it’s been almost 9 years………9 YEARS!

It wasn’t for me.

I liked Judas.

Death Stranding, Helldivers, Dragons Dogma all looked decent.

The majority of the others reminded me a eastern/anime C level PS3 PS4 games.

The fact that Helldivers is rarely mentioned across multiple apps tells me that sucker is going to land with a thud. Hell, it’s barely mentioned in these comments.

Your link at the bottom says it’s to release before March 2023.

I wish Sony would focus on delivering an experience like they did with the PS3/PS4 for the PS5 because it sure as hell feels like the PS5 generation is the PC generation.

The PS5 gen is easily the most underwhelming PlayStation generation I’ve ever experienced.

@AhmadSumadi I will be absolutely shocked if big changes don’t occur.
