@MrMagic the S is truly a weird console. I think it might have the same image quality and texture settings as the Series X, just at a lower resolution but everyone would rather have 4k 60fps than 1440p

@Mikey856 hopefully it's a new IP. I really want a fantasy third-person RPG type game, kinda like Dragon Age.

MGS would be insane but wouldn't be possible due to Konami probably wanting to be all over that, plus we know Bluepoint to be working on OG content

@Mikey856 agreed, their attention to detail is top tier, PS Studios worthy. I think whatever they release should be ready by 2025-27 due to the longer production times so thinking about it, might not be ready for reveal yet

@Brawl4002 I don't think it's a remake, it's been said to be a new IP in the past I think

@Grimwood here's hoping they're ready to be revealed. Excited for what Bend studio, Firesprite and Bluepoint have been cooking up

@UltimateOtaku91 yeah I agree seems wishy washy, but also if people care so much they should go outside and touch some grass

@UltimateOtaku91 you should read comment from @ShogunRok

@pharos_haven yeah you've got a good point there 😂

@Dragoon1994 fingers crossed!

@pharos_haven but from what I've seen, Skull & Bones is atrocious. I guess theoretically they'd be able to get the game out but it would be a steaming pile of ass and is that even worth it at that point?

@Dragoon1994 yeah I think you're right, its gone or doomed. So are the days of smaller scale linear games being profitable, so don't think we'll ever see it in a form that's true to the OG idea

@Dragoon1994 yeah that's a big get! I think BGE 2 would benefit from just being a linear game with a story. From what they showed us they have the tech to make it look impressive. Doesn't need to be some big online open world game

@Dragoon1994 I fear BGE2 will never come

@CharlieChooChoo parents should protect their kids by banning them from reading PlayStation news because their kid wants to read about PlayStation news on a PlayStation news site and sees an article about a porn site. Got it 😀

@Gunnerzaurus MysticRyan really has been and still is one of the better 'gaming aggregators' that is out there. His longevity is crazy, still watch his LTPS to this day

@CharlieChooChoo nah. The overt mentioning of the porn site is the issue I have, other than that it's a laugh. And don't act stupid, how regular and accessible is it for a kid to commit war crimes or shoot people after watching/playing violent games/movies vs developing a porn addiction after watching porn.

And before you come in with "people shoot people all the time after consuming violent media", I know it happens but at a very disproportional rate compared to the young people affected by porn consumption. I am very informed in that field.

Protect the children is all I'm saying

Press release written by an English language graduate for sure. Serial Wafflers

I'm not going to lie, I started viewing this site when I was a kid. I made this account after years and years of viewing articles. This isn't very appropriate to have on here. If a kid was browsing your site, which isn't an adult site, you are directly responsible for now triggering their porn curiosity from this article.

Sony's proprietary tech for upscaling is bound to be another checkerboard-like tech. Didn't vibe with the checkerboarding on PS4 Professional. I'm not convinced PS5 Pro's will be anywhere on the level of DLSS but probably comparable to FSR which isn't anything eye catching with all the blur and shimmer.

Still, looking forward to the update though. Current gen games running in a boost mode taking base PS5 games on fidelity mode with ray tracing to 4K 60fps? A fidelity mode that ups the detail to the max, ray tracing, smooth performance, VRR that actually kicks in at low FPS, will be very very interesting to see what features they add.

Yeah it's weird not to see them release something new but we know when they drop a new game it's going to be incredible. Factions didn't work out, glad they chose sticking to what they're best at than live service. These days if you drop a multiplayer game, you need to support it for a long time, it's not worth it. Maybe instead of cancelling though it could've been given to another studio 🥲

Painful February for Rocksteady and WB incoming

It is not speculation but from those leaks we saw the other day. Not really fair for anyone to find out this way if it's true

@Bamila your knowledge needs some updating. Sony don't own everything to do with Spider-Man. Marvel sold Spider-Man MOVIE rights to Sony in the 90s. They have nothing to do with anything else. When it comes to gaming media, Marvel Entertainment still own the rights to Spider-Man. It was licensed to Activision for eons and then taken off after Activision released poor movie tie-in games repeatedly.

They took the IP to various studios and settled on PlayStation's worldwide studios because of their track record of delivering top quality single player games. That's basically it. Nothing to do with Sony having control of the movie rights. As much as PlayStation and Insomniac are reaping the rewards, it could've easily been an Xbox Studio but they were quoted to have turned it down to focus on their internal IP 🤷

I know a lot of people here are in their 30s but since PS+ and Minecraft have been out this has been very very normal! I'm in my 20s, I've BEEN getting dumb vouchers and subscriptions for years and years, very interesting to see this come up as news

Should've called it Directors Cut

@Czar_Khastik I know the story's going to be amazing but those bits in-between, the bits you call a game? It looks like pure trash

This shows you why developers need time. An extra two years or more would have made this and Rise of Kong go from poop to probably passable but greedy publishers trying to fulfill contracts or take advantage of expiring licences led us here.

As for Gollum, any amount of time could not help them, that game had over 4 years of development

@Czar_Khastik the crazy thing is this game looks like it has a lot of soul from the visuals to the cinematics to the characters but the blend of gameplay is just not it at allll.

Why did WB make them devolve from making cinematic, tight combat, heavy hitting sandbox games to some looter shooter, marketplace, CASH GRAB of a game

Booooooooooo, tomato tomato. This game sucks

Congratulations! They've made some special games

@The_Pixel_King spoke too soon

@knowles2 but like your previous point, no way a writer could write so the possibilities. If they could there'd be no need for the AI

I think by interesting he means more varied and diverse reactions. If you look at the AI mods for the Matrix tech demo thing, the possibilities are endless. However, it would be a slippery slippery slope as it would negate the need for voice actors, writers and that can only lead to the greedy publishers exploring how else they can cut staff. As with all use cases, I don't think they should look at AI for the purpose of replacing people, but as being supplementary, hand in hand with humans as it can help you improve a lot of things, like art, writing, learning and knowledge.

You'd think most people on here would probably already have one

I just wished it had additional functionality like being an extra controller rather than being the only one

@MikeOrator comments like these I just have to wonder, what did I say to make you so mad 😕

@MikeOrator have you ever heard of an observation? AC games are way too big and too detailed and after seeing this I made the suggestion that Ubisoft would put their worlds to better use in sim games than AC games where all that scale is being wasted as most AC fans want tighter knit games than the large sprawling worlds. What is the big deal

@MikeOrator where is the hate? Ubisoft make amazing huge worlds that would be perfect for the simulation genre rather than going to waste as AC games. Wash your eyes and remove the cynicism

Oh no its live-action 🤢🤢

They better keep the 'clunky' control styles that aren't clunky at all. I love the control over characters you have in Rockstar games

These are the type of games Ubisoft should make considering their hard on for replicating laaarge parts of countries. Far better use in sim games rather than AC games.

This might be the only year there hasn't been a nailed down winner. 2018 was also tight with RDR 2 & GOW. I think it should go to any one of BG3, SP2, FF16 or Zelda.

@nessisonett not the best R&C game but its my favourite one

I had one where it wouldn't let me choose fidelity mode and kept reverting to performance mode, other than that single instance, nope

@Areus that too, so what's that 4 that we already know for sure, 4 that we have seen rumours/development news for. This live service thing really isn't as bad as it's being made out to be. SSM, Insomniac, SP, Firesprite, Bluepoint, Asobi, Bend, there's probably more, are all still making single player games and in the case of SP they're rumoured to be working on both single player and live service game.

@LIMA yeah I believe so

@Dr_ENT nah dawg, this the bomba you think it is. Some of these games aren't happening anymore. A lot of these have been blown out of proportion. Single Player games are still happening.

We already know Fairgames and Marathon. MLB, GOT Legends, Factions, Horizon Multiplayer are 4 more out of the supposed 10 live service games, so I'm not really that concerned about the doom and gloom you're trying to allude to.

Edit: We also already know Helldivers 2.

Loving it! Excited for what's to come from PS Studios

@DennisReynolds yeah you're probably right. I guess what I meant to say is they have a lot more to offer with their original IP. Not saying I don't like their Spider-Man games, loving SP2 right now but I want to see some variety. They said they don't wanna be a marvel factory right? I'd hate to see them just pumping out marvel games non stop

@DennisReynolds I think Spider-Man 3 will be cross gen with PS6. After Wolverine I hope it's a non marvel property, Insomniac got a lot more to offer than open world games, even though they're really good
