Well, I feel like Sony isn’t as good as they once were and that pushed me to buy a Series X this past week. I feel like the wait for Sony’s best games were getting longer and longer. So, I pickup an Xbox to fill in the gaps.
Sony abandoning Evolution, Japan and some of their other franchises like Infamous, Uncharted, Resistance, pushing unneeded remakes, feeling like they are focusing on everything else but the PS5 has really pushed me away.
I haven’t owned an Xbox in 13 years and Sony is the reason I recently bought one.
Im a big PlayStation fan. I actually own multiple PS5s but with the Sony releases being so far apart and then releasing remasters/remakes that I have zero interest in, I bought a Series X yesterday. Now, I can play the best of both worlds.
I would love a game based off of the old cartoon The Real Ghostbusters. I’m really shocked by how much Sony ignores this property. They could do so much more than what they have.
I’m planning to buy this game as long as it turns out to be a solid experience. I had that same plan for Saints Row but I ended up putting it on the wait for sale list.
I had every intention of buying it day one as long as it was as good as 2 or 3, but reviews said otherwise.
I’m going to buy it but it will be when it’s on sale. If it had launched at 40$ I’d bought it still day one. Now though, by November I’ll only buy it for 25$ or less.
This biggest issue that I have with games today is that while being somewhat high quality the VAST majority just run together and I can’t remember what is what or what name belongs to which game.
Nothing really stands out, so many remind me of other games. That everywhere game gave me Fortnite vibes and some other one reminded me of a combination Destiny and Warframe.
Yesterday some reputable Twitter games journalists started to run with the story that Embracer had also bought the rights to Infamous, Sly and something else from Sony.
They were linking Wario64.
I noticed his Twitter @ was different. His name and profile was Wario64 but his at was Warlo64.
I told them you guys are quoting a fake account. They deleted them.
I have no pull on Twitter but these guys with a decent following need to watch for that crap when they are stating news.
I could see one state of play in the coming months for GoW.
Sony has been mostly silent for a long time now. I assume they think they will be successful regardless, so why bother? That’s pretty much how they conduct themselves. They are nothing like they use to be.
@Omnistalgic Bare minimum, if they have to factor in low end PC’s that use a HDD in regard to world building (forced crawl/squeeze spots, elevators, etc), that’s a hindrance to the PS5.
I remember in the past year when delays were occurring and everyone was like, man 2022 is stacked. Déjà vu. If it’s needed, oh well, but all these delays suck.
@Balosi Yeah, PC and PS4 are getting all the focus. There hasn’t been an actual PS5 game release since Ratchet and Clank last year. We got some PS4 ports this year though.
I now own a Steamdeck and can play PlayStation games on the go, but I still NOT a fan of Sony diluting the worth of owning a console. I still prefer console actually having exclusives. Now, with Sony having a PC mindset, they’ll most likely develop games with low PC tech in mind and not actually utilize the PS5. Just like how the PS4 has hindered the PS5.
It’s an unpopular opinion but I believe the PS3 generation is easily the best ever and it’s been SLOWLY downhill ever since.
The PS3 had:
Uncharted games
Resistance games
Motorstorm games
Little Big Planet games
Infamous games
Sly Cooper
God of War
Puppeteer
TLoU
GTA 4&5
Red Dead Redemption
Bioshock games
Demon & Dark Soul games
Spec Ops The Line
Split Second
Tomb Raider games
TMNT and Double Dragon 2d games
Spelunky
And a ton more I’m forgetting.
Man, I really miss the 360/PS3 generation. Hell, even Microsoft had some of their best games then.
The ONE BIG DIFFERENCE that I noticed with this game versus other GaaS games is that Multiversus doesn’t let you earn back the currency to put toward the next season. I hope that’s fixed, otherwise, this could set a bad precedent for customers if future GaaS games follow suite.
I hope Saints Row doesn’t suck as that’s the only thing of interest to me for Aug and Sept, otherwise, it’s going to be a long wait for October and on.
I’ve had a negative attitude regarding this remake since I first heard about it, and damn, after watching that video I feel even more negative about it.
Honestly, I don’t mind remasters or remakes mostly, but I am not a fan when one of the best studios in the industry, ND, is assigned to work on one. It’s seems like a damn waste of talent to me. We wait years for NEW high quality games and one of the best studios had to spend their time on this.
I’m not in the argument of costs. I don’t care. If Bluepoint was doing this, I wouldn’t like it, but it wouldn’t sting as bad as ND doing it. I know ND is working on multiple projects, but I despise one minute of their time was wasted on this.
Ehh, nickel&dime is the game industry motto at this point.
I’m getting use too a majority of these companies doing dirtbag sh**. They just don’t get my money, but I imagine that fact that this stuff getting worse is proof suckers pay them well.
As I expected, such a waste of talent from a top studio. This is alright for PC players and new players.
People say, we’ll they needed something to work on and took this project. It blows my mind that one of the top tier studios doesn’t have another project lined up with finishing up the last 40% of a current project. How can you not have something new prepared? Such a waste of talent and a waste for us who buy almost every single Sony exclusive. I’ve played this game multiple times through multiple generations, it’s so aggravating. Well, you don’t like it don’t buy it! Well I don’t like this crap because I want to play new games from Sony first party studios.
It looked a lot like what I remember of TLoU, but I believe I noticed that Joel cocked the hammer on his pistol in that new vid and I believe that is a detail that wasn’t added until TLoU2. So, they may have done some work to the animation system.
Im from an age of gaming where you had to play to unlock characters, like in Tekken 2. So, I may actually prefer the play to unlock mechanic in the game. Granted, it could be a horrible grind.

The only way I could possibly enjoy hearing about this game in the future is if it wins GotY over Elden Ring. People will lose their freaking minds.

Re: PS5 Price Increase Confirmed for UK, Europe, Japan, Canada, and More
If Microsoft is willing to take the hit to their buy-in profits, this would be a fantastic time to cut the prices of their systems.
Xbox has been getting a ton of positive publicity these past couple years and this would be another pro consumer win for them.
