@Loamy they are indeed 😂. However, would love to see 0 Screwball challenges as her screaming PHOTOBOMB has given me PTSD.

I could go on for a while but I've already written too many comments with @NEStalgia on what I love and hated about the Insomniac SP games.

@TrickyDicky99 ok thanks for the correction. I need them to offer more for what they're charging. Don't like this one bit

Hahahahaha and there I was about to hold off re-upping on my subscription. Nasty stuff Sony

Sidenote: This is like way more than gamepass right? They have no excuse to charge this much but not offer the same perks anymore. Joke of an industry

Trying to jump on the Fortnite hype lmao

Not going to document how it completely rips off Insomniac's web swinging and animations

@Flaming_Kaiser no doubt re-releases have better quality but that's the point of not having to fork out another £60 just to play what you already bought. RDR for example if I was too okay it on Xbox I'd just use my 360 purchase and it's upscaled to 4k. With PlayStation I have to buy it again as a new release.

@XboxTheBestBox welcome to PlayStation lol. It makes no sense, but you can still stream PS3 games right?

@XboxTheBestBox I think a saving grace is that presumably from PS4 and up, everything will be BC.

I get that there's money to be made of course, but like you said, just throw us a bone. We pay stupid amounts of money every year, every generation, every console. Just give us some freebies from personally my most memorable and favourite console. I literally boot up my PS3 just to play those MINIS like Mini Ninjas or RDR, GTA IV, LBP, LA Noire, Pixeljunk Eden, Max Payne 3 and many more. So many childhood memories

@XboxTheBestBox it'll blow your mind but PS3 BC is achievable but not financially viable for Sony. They make more money by re-releasing ports of PS3 games, remaking them or charging you to stream them than by allowing you to play them via BC. It probably won't change either.

@ShogunRok 100-150 would've been a sweet spot

This is definitely getting the Liberations treatment with a HD port in the next few years. Crazy how far mobile gaming has come

I usually get something close to 7 hours. Decent enough I guess

@Shstrick consensus is this is bad value compared to vita? I'm in that camp. Oh well, we'll never see anything like that again

@Shstrick it's true theoretically but unfortunately (in the UK at least), wages haven't gone up to match inflation so most people won't see it like that

USB dongle required? Why can everything but a PlayStation link wirelessly with headphones/earphones

I think it might run android so this will be a really hot device for emulator fans and modders. £199 ain't too bad either. Though when you put in context to the Vita, its not very good value seeing as that was like £50 more and could do 10000x more than this appears to do

@zhoont there's a lot of gameplay available from the beta. Go watch those videos, it looks very similar to Payday 2 but with much needed updates to stealth and other smaller niggling issues

I think the method of releasing a game with set amount of content and anything extra being DLC or added to a sequel was not broken, therefore did not need to be side-lined for the monstrosity of live service games most publishers are trying to adopt.

This 'evolving content' rhetoric that we find ourselves embroiled in is becoming simply a product of laziness and greed. It used to be that you get a complete experience then overtime it evolves. Now, its growing to just be broken buggy mess that will get some half-assed content updates. Where it does fit in some cases, it absolutely has no place in others. Yet, due to the stupid success of many, I doubt its something we will see publishers stopping anytime soon.

If they were going to charge this much they should have added high res assets and a 60fps or 120fps option. This is a dumb, dumb joke

@KaijuKaiser it just really isn't. Starfield will be an RPG comparable to Skyrim or TW3. Lets not act like that's the kind of game NMS is

@ItsBritneyB_tch it's crazy that for a show with 10+ seasons, season 2 is still the best.

If I could change anything it would definitely be to see an alternate version where Shane killed Rick or exiled him and became the leader. Everyone would be wilder, crazier, more volatile. Good TV

@PlayStationGamer3919 you see the vision. Hopefully it goes TLOU3 or a new IP releasing within a short period of each other then Factions (if its ever going to release)

@PlayStationGamer3919 it's been way too long! But that's due to their success. U1, U2 & U3 were back to back to back and I think the majority of their fans would rather see them finish a story than keep it hanging for a few years.

And then factor in the development times for full games and it's really no wonder why they'd rather work on sequels than new IPs. Imagine TLOU 3 releasing over 10 years later part 2. Don't think Sony or ND would want that

@PlayStationGamer3919 did you forget Returnal exists? Destruction All-Stars?

Lets gooooooo

Something fresh please

There's a pretty good reason to get a mid gen upgrade. In a day and age where an equivalent PC to a PS5 would cost almost £2k, many many many people want that performance boost in an upgraded console that is near £500.

And honestly the mid gen upgrades last gen were substantially better than the base consoles and a lot of people bought them so this guy is talking doo doo

@GeeForce I am going to need to be provided a link for this please, first I've heard of it

@Jamesblob but until they do that it won't be sustainable. So far they haven't been able to pull the masses with Bethesda (I really think Starfield will change that), they're not making the biggest Activision-Blizzard games exclusive, so no pull there.

Until they start making all their games exclusive which will be the better part of a decade, its hard to say that just releasing day 1 first party games on Gamepass will make it sustainable for them.

And unless they literally do what you say, buy EA, SE, CDPR, From Soft, buy everyone, then yes, (1) being locked in to play top quality exclusive games (2) that are day 1 (3) without paying £70 per game will definitely make GP more than sustainable. Those 3 factors will bring the masses over and kill the competition. PS are only winning big because they have consistent high quality major exclusives, which MS seem to fumble time and time again.

Otherwise, nope. People will not jump onto GP and it won't be sustainable

@MakersMark I'm going to keep doing what I always do with games and movies that I don't support, vote with my wallet. I implore everyone else to do so, send the message you want rather than crying about it online but still buying it. But oh wait I forget the gaming community. If it exists, someone will buy it. Community of chumps and simps is way to generous. Its a community of brain dead sheep-zombies. I say that with love

@LifeGirl it'd matter if MS took big games like CoD away from PlayStation but they not going that route. I see it as a way to add very large value to Gamepass. I don't see how it will be sustainable but all those Activision games launching day 1 on Gamepass is probably their end goal

No one should spend £50 on a game that came out in 2011 and still looks the same. No 60fps is egregious. Seriously shameful from rockstar. Easily exceeding EA in terms of bad practices over the last 10 years

First the milking of GTA online then releasing GTA V 300 times then doing nothing with rdr 2 then the atrocity that was/still is the GTA trilogy and now releasing this no effort rehash that wasn't even helmed by rockstar. Shameful

@Kang81 honestly it's horrendous, just make the replies linked in a thread and it improves 10000 fold

@Dark_Knight there's 100+ comments what made you think I read your previous comment

Huh. No Xbox?

Missed opportunity but also, not feasible from a development standpoint. Just because it is a remaster doesn't mean it won't take time away from upcoming projects. Yes, their output has been shocking since GTA V but (from Rockstar's viewpoint) imagine taking 3-5 years to remake RDR 1 when GTA VI and other projects are in development or in contention.

What's unforgivable is the state its in, it looks really bad. At least update some textures or something :/

@Max_the_German I'm sure there are no losses, PS5 was making money on each console in 2021, safe to say they're still making money per console as manufacturing costs will have decreased further.

@IAmAshCohen17 late reply but yeah, honestly it's so weird to see. As much as I dislike Microsoft as a company, the Xbox is decent enough. But none of that matters, at the end of the day it's an industry where you need to have all sides present to see the best results

What the Devs are doing is directly helping no one but only the fanboys who go on twitter to argue and defend their console with their lives

@Cashews I think its simple really, those who haven't got it will get it at any price drop and those who want to get it cheaper will wait for another price drop. Therefore, more price drops means more people will see now as a good time to buy it

It'll happen for Black Friday and Christmas and any sale really, as long as they 'drop' the price.

@Cashews honestly, I made sure they felt stupid. They were desperate and now they realised how useless it was to get it that early at THAT price because most of what we've gotten is available on PS4

Yeah so the price went up LY, now its looking like a good deal because they've dropped it back to the OG price? Got to love business lmao

@Cashews I know someone who paid £700 for their PS5 3 weeks after launch due to scalpers. Imagine how they feel lmao

They raised the price again? Been a bit busy but last I remember the price went up months ago and now there's this price drop for the sale. Am I missing something?

@Cashews new price point probably?

Everytime I hear about this game I go through a loop of 'wait hasn't this already been out for years' then realising it's a sequel to the game which has the same name :/

@riceNpea definitely should have been challenged which I think we all did, you especially. I do agree that after being challenged if they weren't trolling they would've backed down from the stance but now we know they seemingly just made the account for that

Thanks Rice, all the best, wish you the same

@Darylb88 its a very in-depth RPG series based on D&D. 3rd one is made by Larian Studios who made the Divinity series. Great RPG games

Watch some early access gameplay on YouTube and you'll see the hype

@PsBoxSwitchOwner and in that case they're a stupid troll lmao

@riceNpea the first comment "Hopefully you didn’t say black humor because the main character is black" was not insinuating that at all. All good tho, stay blessed ✌🏾

@KaijuKaiser well there's a reason why no multiplatform developer does that. Even though its honest, like I said, they are flaming the debate by mentioning it. Its just politics at that point. You don't see multiplatform devs saying 'well this console is faster or better at something than the other'. It just flames the debate.

I agree with you that they are very insecure but by tweeting that, (or should I say X'ing not tweeting now) they are just getting both fanboys riled up into "ha my gaming device is better than yours so now I can go to sleep happy knowing I base my happiness off of what a billion dollar company does with my money" type debates. More engagement for the devs I guess

This developers tweets give me weird vibes. They keep flaming this console war on Twitter by stating 'PS5 is better at this and that while XSX lacks this and that'. Very honest yes, but you know exactly what you're doing.

@riceNpea yet racism is a more horrible thing to face. People on the internet are always sly with it, yet easily feign ignorance. The person was sticking up for black people in an unfounded way. The consequences were that you stuck up for the wrongly accused author and others (me included) tried to show them why it wasn't racism. Shouldn't need to go further.

Education is always key. They don't need to make it something it isn't. And you don't need to escalate it beyond reason
