I always assumed that’s basically what was going to happen according to the ending of the MK11 DLC.
I don’t know why some people would be surprised.
It’s been years since I beat it, but I believe it also alluded to going back in time.
So, I n ver understand all these people begging for characters when if it actually took place during the great Kung Lao era, none of the mains would be present, but this could just be locked to the story mode and regular modes could have some of the traditional favorites.
I guess we’ll see. For years now we’ve heard promises from the entire industry promising this or that and for the most part the games turned out mediocre at best.
Granted, we get some great ones every now and then.
I still stand by say I hope not because either the prices of the subs will have to rise or quality will have to take a hit.
I prefer traditional games with traditional experiences at a traditional price.
I paid 70$ for Mortal Kombat 2 back in the 90s. I have no issue with games being 70$ or higher, BUT, like then, I only buy them if I really think they are worth it. I’d give 100$ for the newest GoW, but I wouldn’t give 50$ for that newest Saints Row.
I played Destiny 2 for a few months after release and then quit.
After it went F2P, I hopped back in for a very short time but deleted it soon after.
I’m just not a fan of what’s required to keep up with what’s actually happening in it, and now, things have been removed and if you haven’t followed it closely you will be lost.
It’s an awesome artsy experience but a very mediocre game. I actually played it some last night. I hop on from time to time to check out what is most popular.
The beginning of the article says Sony has been silent on the PSVR2…hell, Sony is silent period. It’s not just VR news, I think they’ve forgotten the PS5 exists.
@EhronLocke I was speaking for myself and my friends where money isn’t much of an issue.
I bought 3 PS4s, 2 PSVRs, and 2 PS5s for me and my family over the last 10 years. I truly have no idea how much I’ve spent on games.
If I move to PC, Sony will lose out on hardware sales, and a ***** ton of PlayStation store sales that my family and I make. Remember, Sony makes money on ever single purchase made in the PS Store as well including mtxs and dlc. So, if I move to PC they will miss out on me buying Assassin’s Creed for example. My friends are the same way as myself.
Heck, Sony may not care, but they EASILY stand to lose 10000s of thousands of dollars bare minimum just on us with the direction they are pushing us.
@Leonhart I don’t like PlayStation using some of the best talent they have to make PC ports, so, bad news is good news. Naughty Dog should be focusing on making fantastic PS5 games, not PC ports.
I called it a long time ago. There won’t be much of a reason to buy a console in the future and if they have to cater to weaker PCs it’s going to hinder quality going forward as well. Hell, they are already push GaaS too.
I’m absolutely despise the direction PlayStation is headed. These companies are also pushing subscriptions services which will also attribute to the decline of top tier quality as well.
I dread seeing the state of games in 7 years.
This is just absolutely ***** news.
Hell, they already hindered the PS5 for these past few years due to PS4 crossgen and now they are going to make it a permanent path with weaker PCs. We won’t see a true PS5 game until halfway into the PS6’s generation.
@get2sammyb It’s a slightly different subject but I’ve said for a while now, Microsoft will offer many games in a traditional manner but it will get to the point to where they won’t sell them, you will only be able to play them on GamePass at a price of 25$ or higher a month, and when it comes to other competitors like Sony, the only way they will be able to have the games is if they allow GamePass on their consoles. That way they never lied, they’ve offered their games to competitors.

@GamerStation257 I’ll not go with a full boycott, but where I live has rental services and I’ll just rent it.
It may not seem like that big of a deal, but I’ve bought every ND game for well over a decade including handhelds, but that stopped with TLoU Remaster Remaster.
@Uromastryx If they change season 2, that will definitely give fuel to those that hate it. They already say it’s garbage and if the show is changed, it’s because HBO recognized it as garbage as well and made changes.
It was okay and probably the worst episode so far. There was one other I really didn’t care for but I can’t remember it. I think it came after Bill’s Town. It’s concerning they only have two episodes left and they are both short on n actual time compared to many of the other. I think 51 and 43 minutes.
I understand it cant be all action but this show has been WAY slower than I ever expected. It also feels like Joel and Ellie haven’t had enough screen time together and they’re relationship pales in comparison to the game’s Joel and Ellie. It felt like Joel was more open to developing a friendship with Ellie in the game in comparison to how cold and withdrawn the tv’s Joel has been.
So far, I’d never want to watch the show again. That sounds harsh. I’ve enjoyed it but it’s looking like a one and done for me.
I played it for a good while. I unlocked all the locations and all the Disney friends that I care about. I don’t care for many modern Disney characters, so I quit.
@Nightcrawler71 I feel like PlayStation mostly goes by the sink or swim outlook on how they handle games and some studio’s. I wish Evolution was still around, I want a modern take of Motorstorm badly.
@Ken_Kaniff I don’t know if I’ve ever disagreed with you lol. I can always count on Ken to say what I’m thinking.
I despise PlayStation’s silence. I despise they hung on to cross-gen so long to the detriment of the PS5. I despise they shut down Evolution and the Japanese studios. I despise it feels like they’re focusing more on taking care of PCs and doing remasters than actually catering to PS5 owners.
So far, the PS5 generation is the worst they’ve ever done. Some people will harp what about HFW, GT7 and GoWR last year? Weren’t they great? Yeah, they were great PS4 games.
With how they love to drag out a generation now, I sure as hell won’t buy the next system so quickly.
@Dr-M Bought the original. Then they released one with HDR pass through, so I bought it and gave the first one to my kids. We own multiple PlayStations and Xbox systems that way we can play everything together.
Im a big fan of VR. I’ve owned multiple PSVRs, and a Quest, but I’m just not hyped to buy a PSVR2 day one. By the time the PSVR came out I felt like the PS4 had actually been utilized and I was excited for the new tech. I don’t feel the same way about the PS5 because a majority of its games are still PS4 games, there’s also a ton of games releasing from Jan-June and I just don’t feel like I’ve got my money’s worth out of the PS5 yet. It just all hinders my hype for it. Though, I plan on getting one around July when the typical game drought sets in.

Looks like I’m still going to wait before I purchase it.

Re: Xbox Boss Admits Microsoft Can't 'Outconsole' PS5

Re: PS5 Pro Is '100%' Happening, Says Reliable Report
I bought the PS4 Pro when it released.
They haven’t came close to utilizing the PS5 and there is no way in hell I’ll buy a PS5 Pro unless it’s a fantastic deal.
Re: Mortal Kombat 12 Is Koming! Very First Teaser Appears to Emerge
After ALL the silence…..that’s it. 😐
Re: Sony: We're Not Just Creating 10 Live Service Destiny or Fortnite Games
I guess we’ll see. For years now we’ve heard promises from the entire industry promising this or that and for the most part the games turned out mediocre at best.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Star Wars Jedi: Survivor?
@KaijuKaiser I specifically looked into the PS5 version and people are reporting that it’s fine, not good, but still has quite a few issues.
I’m just over letting these companies think it’s okay to release a game with the intention of fixing it in the future.
I’m not going to give them their day one week one success sales numbers.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Star Wars Jedi: Survivor?
I was going to buy it today, but after all of the bad performance reports I’ve seen I’ll pick it up sometime down the road.
Re: Sony's PS Plus Subscriber Count Is on the Rise Once Again
If I could play online for free like it use to be I would drop the sub in a heartbeat.

Re: Destiny 3 Begins Trending on Twitter As Fans Are Fed Up with Current Game
I played Destiny 2 for a few months after release and then quit.

I prefer they soft reboot Destiny 3.
Re: Sony's Long Anticipated PS5, PS4 Showcase Could Be Scheduled for May
@Ken_Kaniff If it’s expected to be a good show, my family and I make time to watch them. As of late, that hasn’t been the case.
I think the last time my family and I got really excited was when Uncharted 4 had its first preview.
Re: Sony's Long Anticipated PS5, PS4 Showcase Could Be Scheduled for May
@AFCC With Sony deciding to focus on GaaS and PC, it will be a very long time before the PS4 dies.
From here on out, innovation and pushing games forward by utilizing new tech like the PS5 and eventually the PS6 in all regard is out of the picture.
We’ll probably be halfway into the PS6’s life before we see the PS5 tech maxed out.
Re: Consumer Spending Growth on Subscriptions Like PS Plus Is Slowing
I’ve caught up on a majority of games I want to play, so, when my sub ran out I went back to the most basic version.

Re: Talking Point: Is 2024 Too Soon for PS5 Pro?
They haven’t came close to utilizing the PS5, the fact that a Pro may exist is stupid.
They’ve proven with cross-gen that no one needs to hurry to buy their next tech. Hell, the entire PS5/PS6 generation may be cross-gen.
