Damn, PlayStation sure has sucked lately.

@Cashews You can google it, MK is the number one fighting game franchise.

Scroll frown to franchise.

Dang there is a lot of toxicity in here regarding MK. I’m glad I’m usually around people that are excited for it.

MK is the number one selling fighting game for a reason, it definitely has its fans. I’ve already bought it.

My buddy recently played Saints and said it was pretty fun, the rest are bad though.

@Ken_Kaniff PlayStation has kept my buddy and I busy for years with their first party output to where we’ve never felt like we needed to own Xbox’s.

We both bought Series X’s this past year to go with our PS5s just to have more games to play and GamePass had become very tempting.

Now, we are both thinking about dropping PSonline.

I’ve actually played on my Series X more lately than my PS5. Just in the past few weeks I beat Psychonauts 2 and Quantum Break. Many of Sony’s decisions pushed us to buying Xbox’s when neither of us has had one in over a decade.

I only want to play online and they know there are many like me that they can screw over with these price increases.

Mechs don’t really do it for me and hearing the environments are underwhelming is a big turnoff for me.

Hell, I’ve been playing my Xbox more than my PS5 lately. I beat Tinykin and am close to beating Psychonauts on Xbox due to GamePass because PS Studios haven’t given me a reason to return.

Im buying MK1 on PS though and will buy Spider-Man 2 as well. Otherwise, it’s been years since PS Studios have put out so few of games.

I don’t know what has happened to Sony, but their current outlook is VERY underwhelming.

Series X- Psychonauts 2, Grounded, Sea of Thieves

PS5- Diablo 4, Rocket League, Ghostbusters

I think the fact that it has plenty of examples shows that it’s a problem.

I still haven’t bought Jedi Survivor due to that it’s still janky.

Other than MK1 and Spider-Man 2, there is absolutely nothing I’m excited for. I wish that wasn’t the case.

I don’t ever remember feeling this way about PlayStation 😬. They are extremely lucky that people are buying PS5s based off of their historical experiences and not based on PlayStation’s current direction.

In regard to some of the comments I’ve seen about upcoming games:

By this point it feels like PlayStation’s slogan needs to be Greatness awaits, and waits and waits.

@NinjaNicky For myself, that only applies to things that I would be okay with never experiencing. I can’t wait that long for something I would enjoy. You don’t know if you’ll actually be around at that point in time. I try to make time, and enjoy everything I want to do immediately.

How have I NEVER heard of Mighty Final Fight😐?

They would have to offer me PS Plus for half a year or more to get me to watch it. I have zero interest in it.

If true, that really sucks as I’d rather play that than anything else Ubisoft has to offer.

Played it, liked it, it’s worth around 30$.

It has felt like they haven’t came close to utilizing the PS5, so I gave zero interest in a Pro version.

@saffeqwe Apparently THE desired version of R&C was the PS5 version and if a pc with HDD doesn’t match it, then it’s not the desired version.

Basically, yes, you can use a HDD, but the desired experience that Insomniac desires for this game requires a SSD.

It’s like, many different games could be downgraded to work on worse hardware, but that’s not what its creators actually want or envisioned, but they have to do what their bosses say. R&C could probably be downgraded to work on a PS3, but it’s technically not the actual vision of the game.

@sammyb @tharsman

@Rmg0731 That is 100% the goal they are shooting for.

I’m calling that within ten years, PlayStation’s output of singleplayer games will be reduced by a 1/3.

GamePass’s future will be Redfall quality.

Lol, I want some PS5 exclusives from Sony in general.

All these companies should just quit making new games and just start doing full remakes from their PS3 libraries until they get to this point and then just start again 🤪.

@MattBoothDev If a person leaves, I would think they don’t see the animation. That’s just for the winner.

@Tharsman I’m expecting companies to circle back to traditional multiplayer games that are GaaS. It will be traditional small/medium maps with TDM, CtF, and Capture Zone modes and they will release free new maps and modes over time while supporting a store and battlepass.

They will abandon multiplayer with big maps of battle royale and extraction. I believe a traditional route may be easier for them.

I could not be less excited or interested.

Though, all these companies must be making money off this crap because they keep churning them out.

Before someone states this is first game like this from Bungie, I’m aware. I’m saying all companies are chasing the GaaS trend.

I miss how gaming was during the PS3/360 era.

I quit playing years ago hoping the game would die. Getting only one new game from Rockstar in ten years is ridiculous.

I’ve never been a FF fan, but I really liked the FF16 demo and plan on playing it within a couple months.

These 5-10 year dev cycles really suck.

I would much rather go back to 12-15 hour fantastic experiences that takes 2-4 years to create, even if graphics have to take a hit.

This 1 game a generation sucks.

Mortal Kombat 1 looks like they started Injustice 3, the WB sales concern happened, they switched the game to MK to be safe.

MK1 is giving off Injustice vibes.

I liked it.

Oh well.

I only bought a Series X last year due to how PlayStation has been handled in recent years.

I’m glad I own both a PS5 and Xbox, because I think both ecosystems are pretty damn weak compared to their previous generations, and by owning both, I can good a great game here and there.

No krypt makes me think even more that this game was supposed to be Injustice 3 and they changed it to Mortal Kombat a couple years ago and the Krypt was just something else that could be cut.

Honestly, they’ll likely have a battlepass.

@dark_knightmare2 Nope, not trolling, the characters faces and bodies look uncanny and somewhat plastic.

@dark_knightmare2 I’ve played MK 11 recently, this looks worse.

Though, some may prefer it looking like a high end mobile game with a dash of Fortnite.

Man, there isn’t many fans in the comments. I’ve really enjoyed the recent MK games and can’t wait for this one.

@naruball Its always weird coming across someone one this site that has those negative GameFaqs vibes.

This place is usually pretty positive.

I sure as hell won’t be in a hurry to get the next systems that release.

The PS5 has been a joke in comparison to all previous consoles. Don’t come at me with sell it then. I bought a PS5 day 1 based off of previous experiences, and expected similar experiences but it definitely hasn’t felt that way, so I’ll correct course when the PS6 launches. Unless, they really really sell me on it. I bought numerous systems for years day one, but going forward, they are going to have to really sell me on it.

I think the PS5 will crossgen into the PS6 gen longer than we’ve currently experienced and Sony will not push the limits of their games anymore to ensure that the games work easily across multiple platforms, especially PC.

Too bad it was a turd.

@PSfan4Life22 I was specifically talking about PlayStation first party true PS5 titles that push the tech, not cross-gen titles or third party titles. I should have made that clear.

When it comes to actual high caliber PS5 titles, the wait continues.

@PSfan4Life22

Greatness awaits and waits and waits. I’m hearing all these people say stay positive, be patient and PlayStation will deliver are really starting to resemble many Xbox fans that say, next year will be, THE year.

I felt like the biggest loser after watching that show.

Before I even read your article I thought that much of that trailer looked fake. There was too many animations that don’t exist in games like Sekiro, Ghost of Tsushima, Elden Ring and many others.

I’m not saying it isn’t possible, but those animations looked like qte or situational loaded animations. Like hitting square in one instance will do a three strike combo with the sword, but then next time it blends in a kick, it’s based on positioning.

Though, we have seen a few fantastic Chinese games in the last five years and none have released so far. So, keep expectations low.

I dread to see the effect Bungie is going to have on PlayStation.

In 7 years time, they will be in a panic to correct course.

@grimgaming Please read my comment.

I despise Bungie’s model and knew it would work out badly for us.

Bungie model:

Expensive game with limited content
Season Pass
Battlepass
Expensive Add-in’s
Removes content after you’ve paid for it.
And to go with all that crap, they push a store.

I despise the direction Sony is going.

Take note, Bungie didn’t like ND’s direction.

Bungie is the worst of old and new capitalism all rolled into one.

Lol, Horizon DLC already has that title.

The big question I haven’t seen publications ask is; Even though these GaaS games have been shutting down rather quickly, are they turning a profit? If so, these companies will not care. They may be heading toward the direction of quick output for a quick cash-in. I’m pretty sure Ubisoft said that Hyperscape was a huge success for them even though they shut it down quickly. The success of these games may not be based on how long they live, but if they can turn a quick profit. If so, these companies will continue throwing crap at the wall.
