One successful live service game is worth 10 failures to publishers, they say, and since Helldivers 2 was such a success I recommend Sony just cancel the rest.
Bad performance and Microtransactions are valid complaints, but as for the gameplay grievances... maybe you should have researched what you are buying before purchasing?
With the exception of Code Veronica, I hope they focus on new RE games from now on. I enjoyed RE5 and even RE6 to some degree, but remakes aren't needed, imo.
That's good news for console players. I have these on PC but only played the first one, Shadow of Chernobyl, yet. Amazing game.
On PC the games don't even have controller support, so I had to use a program that translates Mouse & Keyboard into controller buttons to play it that way.
Good hardware by most accounts, but its just so disappointing that Sony won't double-dip their first party games for VR. I imagine Spider Man 2 VR, God of War VR or just a VR remaster of Killzone or Resistance in VR series would give the headset some badly needed must-have titles. Sony already has the games, just make them available for VR!
Every XBox game will end up on Playstation... BUT with an added super-grindy trophy (walk 500 miles in Starfield/100 laps on a Forza track/Swim for 5 days in Sea of Thieves etc).
I'm just about to start a new FNV playthrough on PC, this time in VR (through Vorpx) and with around 100+ mods (out of the around 32K New Vegas mods available).
No Limp Bizkit though, that's not the way I uh... roll.
I hope these guys get a chance to make another game under more favorable conditions.
I was kinda late to the party with DE, but as far as writing and voice acting goes it was a true revelation to the point of setting a new standard for games. It was all about the anodic HARDCORE!
I wonder what this means for future games releasing same date on PC. All those extra sales must be tempting to Sony, especially if MS is leaving exclusives behind as well.

Re: Gaming Subs Like PS Plus, Xbox Game Pass Aren't Growing At All
That's a good thing. The outlines of a entertainment future where everything is locked behind a multitude of subscriptions is slowly fading away.
Re: Revamped Deathverse: Let It Die Will Be Less Deathverse, More Let It Die
They decided to Let it Live and I'm all for it.
Will it be a F2P title like the first one?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 527
@amatmulisha It's not that prevalent don't worry. It's a good metroidvania at heart with good exploration and lots of stuff to unlock and upgrade.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 527
@KingPev Haha no but you never know what you will find next in this game. This shot of some youtuber is just spot on:
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 527
Cookie Cutter, a metroidvania where you play a vengeful lesbian killer android with a talking vagina.
Gameplay reminds me a bit of Guacamelee and the art and animation is incredible. Recommended!
Re: Random: Someone's Porting PS1 Classic WipEout to the Playdate
@BeerIsAwesome It's sad but true... its been a good while since arcade racers were big sellers.
I do really miss them though There's just nothing quite like Pacific Rift or Blur on the market right now.
Re: Fallout 4 (PS5) - Timeless Gameplay Loop Stuck in an Outdated RPG
Most negatives mentioned here can be fixed with mods, which makes any Bethesda game better on PC if you have that option.
Re: Stellar Blade (PS5) - A Stellar PS5 Debut Destined to Become a Fan Favourite
I need this on PC, please. But for now I hope you PS5 players are having a great time!
Re: Shift Up Reveals 'Secrets' of Stellar Blade's Physical PS5 Packaging
It's been a good while since I bought a physical game (I'm on PC these days) but I do miss the smell of a newly unwrapped shining new game package.
Re: Ex-Psygnosis, WipEout, Skate Devs Announce New Studio Starlight Games
Awesome, looking forward to their next racing game: OutWipe.
Re: Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Heads Back to Medieval Europe on PS5
Oh yes I loved the first one so I'm gonna have to czech this one out too!
Re: PSN Data Says Foamstars' Future Is Bleak, Just Two Months After Release

Re: $130 Version of Star Wars Outlaws Under Fire as Ubisoft Prices Increase
Ubisoft games never take too long to hit the digital bargain bin. Usually 50% off within a year it seems.
Re: Battlefield 2042 Support to End with Season 7 as Next Game Ramps Up
I doubt they have learnt a single lesson from 2042 and will repeat them all again.
Re: $70 Games Are Just a Phase, Believes Saber Interactive CEO
A phase on the way to $80
Re: Sony Hires Superstar Korean Cheerleader to Cosplay as Stellar Blade's Eve
Well, that's not bad... but just wait till you see my dance moves!

Re: Stellar Blade Dev Shift Up Already Hiring for Next AAA Project
Great seeing a dev that is mostly known for mobile games go all-in on console and do it well. Feels like it's usually the other way around.
Re: Not Everyone Is in Love with Dragon's Dogma 2 on PS5
Bad performance and Microtransactions are valid complaints, but as for the gameplay grievances... maybe you should have researched what you are buying before purchasing?
Re: Extensive Judas Gameplay Overview Dissects BioShock Creator's Next
Looks great so far.
Hope it has plenty of immersive sim-type choices of how to handle situations, maybe even fully pacifist runs if the player is so inclined.
Re: Judge Rules in Sony's Favour in $500m Controller Comms Lawsuit
Good. Patent Trolls can get #%!¤ed.
Re: Celebrate Jim Ryan's Legacy with Iconic Digital Bobblehead
Not sure I would have guessed this was Jim Ryan if you had just shown me the bobblehead with no name.
Re: Notorious Vanillaware Artist 'Unable' to Resist Adding NSFW Jiggle to Unicorn Overlord Characters, Food
Is that a Cheese-Filled Steak Haché in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 (PS5) - This Could Be the Apex of RPG Adventuring
Lovely. Apart from Exoprimal and their idiotic stance on mods, Capcom has been on fire for a good while now.
Re: Alone in the Dark (PS5) - An Admirable Effort with One Too Many Flaws
Pros: - Got a special place in my heart for those janky 6/10 games.
Cons: - Just can't stand David Harbour.

Re: Both God of War PS5, PS4 Games Battle for Top Billing in Sony's Twitter Competition
They obviously didn't dare put the real winner in the competition: Tokyo Jungle!
Re: Resident Evil 4's Remake Tops 7 Million Sales Milestone
With the exception of Code Veronica, I hope they focus on new RE games from now on. I enjoyed RE5 and even RE6 to some degree, but remakes aren't needed, imo.
Re: God of War Legend Stig Asmussen Opens New Studio, Plans AAA Single-Player Action Game
@truerbluer You got a point but I'm hoping Judas will be the exception.
Re: Everyone's Talking About Eve's Outfits in PS5 Exclusive Stellar Blade
I think the base design one looks better than any of the alt outfits. Best haircut.
Re: Pre-Orders for Unannounced S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Legends of the Zone Trilogy Go Live in Japan
That's good news for console players. I have these on PC but only played the first one, Shadow of Chernobyl, yet. Amazing game.
On PC the games don't even have controller support, so I had to use a program that translates Mouse & Keyboard into controller buttons to play it that way.
Re: Sounds Like PS5's Stellar Blade Will Be Playing Dress Up Long After Launch
@ChrisDeku Don't worry, the niqab DLC is a steal at £9.99
Re: New GreedFall 2 Trailer Reveals a PS5 Prequel to Watch Out For
I liked the first Greedfall, but I hope this one will be a little less repetitive.
Re: 900 PlayStation Employees Laid Off, London Studio Closed
That's just sad. Would have loved to see a follow-up to Blood & Truth one day.
Re: 'High Possibility' Miyazaki Delegates Direction of Future FromSoftware Souls Games
DS2 is great, although not quite up to the standards of Froms best work. In fact I want to replay it again soon.
Re: Video: One Year Later, Is PSVR2 Doing Enough?
Just let me be dictator of Sony for a year or so and I'll whip it right back in shape, starting with Spider-Man VR.
Re: Poll: What Do You Think of PSVR2, One Year Later?
Good hardware by most accounts, but its just so disappointing that Sony won't double-dip their first party games for VR. I imagine Spider Man 2 VR, God of War VR or just a VR remaster of Killzone or Resistance in VR series would give the headset some badly needed must-have titles. Sony already has the games, just make them available for VR!
Re: Xbox May Need to Familiarise Itself with PS5, PS4's Platinum Trophies
Every XBox game will end up on Playstation... BUT with an added super-grindy trophy (walk 500 miles in Starfield/100 laps on a Forza track/Swim for 5 days in Sea of Thieves etc).
Re: Pacific Drive (PS5) - The Car Is the Reasonably Priced Star of Deep, Dense Survival Game
I can lock all my doors, it's the only way to live in cars
Re: New PS Plus Extra, Premium Update Makes 13 More Games Available Now
Roguebook is great. Fans of Slay the Spire should give it a shot!
Re: Random: Feared Lost, Fallout New Vegas Fred Durst Mod Resurfaces
I'm just about to start a new FNV playthrough on PC, this time in VR (through Vorpx) and with around 100+ mods (out of the around 32K New Vegas mods available).
No Limp Bizkit though, that's not the way I uh... roll.
Re: Disco Elysium Standalone Expansion Reportedly Cancelled, ZA/UM Facing Layoffs
I hope these guys get a chance to make another game under more favorable conditions.
I was kinda late to the party with DE, but as far as writing and voice acting goes it was a true revelation to the point of setting a new standard for games. It was all about the anodic HARDCORE!
Re: Sony May Have Made the Right Call Not Copying Xbox Game Pass with PS Plus
Good. A future where all games are locked behind subscriptions and streaming sounds like a nightmare to me.
Re: Cult Spin-Off Resistance Retribution Is Coming to PS5, PS4 with PS Plus Premium
That's nice I guess. But what would be even nicer would be Resistance 1-3 and Killzone 2+3 for PSVR2.
Re: Rumour: Astro Bot Will Return for Another PS5 Rescue Mission This Year
I hope its a PSVR2+PCVR game. Astro Bot Rescue Mission is still one of the best VR games and platformers I've ever played.
Re: Looks Like This Is the New Lara Croft in PS5's Next Tomb Raider
I prefer the rebooted look to this, tbh.
This does look more consistent with her COD operator model so this is probably how she looks now:

Re: Sony Predicts Slide in PS5 Sales with No Major Existing IPs Planned Before March 2025
Well that's what happens when an ill-advised all-in venture into GaaS goes up in flames.
Re: Helldivers 2 Is 'Blowing Through Estimates', Around 1 Million Sales In Less Than a Week
@pharos_haven GaaS yes, but this is also a paid game not a F2P title which means there is obviously a market for such titles on PC day 1.
Re: Helldivers 2 Is 'Blowing Through Estimates', Around 1 Million Sales In Less Than a Week
I wonder what this means for future games releasing same date on PC. All those extra sales must be tempting to Sony, especially if MS is leaving exclusives behind as well.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Persona 3 Reload?
I give it 3 out of 5 Personas.
