@BacklogBrad for the exact same reasons as you have said there, is why Hellblade2 will get ported over, the last I saw it had a very low achievement rate too.
@rjejr @Tecinthebrain the ps4 may have sold double the amount of ps5, but majority of those ps4 owners will have upgraded to ps5, some will be a 2nd or 3rd purchase (due to breakage etc) and some just won’t be used anymore (gone to pc/xbox/dont game anymore etc etc)
To be fair to PushSquare and @get2sammyb it was also missed over on PureXbox until it was pointed out in comments and I think @themightyant posted the video. Although they have updated their article.
@K1LLEGAL I’m subbed to GP (series S)… but for argument sake…
Ps5 only gamer, pays £70 or less for the couple of games they are interested in from Xbox. You can wait 12months pick them up for half price and fully patched.
Or
Ps5 only gamer - buys a series X (for like to like comparison) at £400 plus £150 a year for GPU. To play the handful of games they want.
Buying them at £70 can make sense.
Obviously there are caveats of other games on GPU, how many games you want etc.
Sony can’t do it, they don’t have the studios/publishers/money to do it.
But Sonys current strategy seems to be not revealing things too early either. Astro/lego games have only been mentioned recently and release within a few months.
The fact half of the seats were empty, the crowd that were there barely sounded excited for anything, it was all just flat.
I enjoy my indies as much as anyone, but none really stood out last night (perhaps the gundam type one and was it battle tactics?) they just kinda all meshed together, then they bring people out on stage and they just witter pointless stuff.
The last article/other parts of the report said rocksteady were working on a live service multiplayer puzzler game. So they were already moving away from single player when WB got them to change to SS.
I mean every one would love one of course. But I don’t see it, like others have mentioned they have recently released the portal. The ‘pro’ seems to be the next hardware.
Maybe in a couple of years? Maybe it’s a counter to the MS rumours, so Sony don’t get left behind?
@NEStalgia I really do think it may follow with VR, didn’t Sony even say at some point they want to release games like that (I forget how they call it).
Also you say Sony charge high, but recently HD2 was a good price, so you never know it may be £60 not £70
@Sifi it’s pretty clear you don’t. Everyone has read your comments on PX. And that’s fine. PlayStation isn’t for everyone just as an Xbox/pc etc isn’t for everyone
@OldGamer999 recently they’ve shown GoW/SM2 and people on this very site complained.
They show a fun Astro bot game. They complain.
It’s clear with no leak/early shots of Astro Sony are trying to not show games years away. They are holding cards to their chest.
There were 14 games shown. It’s not like all 14 are meant to be for everyone. If people came away wanting one and being interested in 2 or 3 then that’s good.
Again it was a 30minute show, it was never going to be showing all huge gamed
@trev666 there were plenty questioning it when it was shown in trailers. I’m just saying that Sony generally release good quality games. So may be worth waiting for hands on
I’m glad Sony managed to keep a (relative) lid on any leaks/announcement of a game until pretty close to its release. For me it’s a good way of doing it ( even if I’m still super happy wilds got an early trailer!)

Re: LEGO Horizon Adventures Is on Nintendo Switch Because It's a Game 'For Everyone'
@rjejr @Tecinthebrain the ps4 may have sold double the amount of ps5, but majority of those ps4 owners will have upgraded to ps5, some will be a 2nd or 3rd purchase (due to breakage etc) and some just won’t be used anymore (gone to pc/xbox/dont game anymore etc etc)
So by now that ps4 only crowd will be dropping.
Re: Preview: Monster Hunter Wilds on PS5 Is Everything We Expected and We Couldn't Be Happier
GoTY next year.
They could release GTA, Zelda, Mario, Horizon 3 and more and nothing will top it for me.

Re: Square Enix Offers $30 Upgrade to Play Life is Strange: Double Exposure Two Weeks Early
@trev666 many will wait. Some will be happy to pay £50.
The issue for many with early access - especially as this one is 2 weeks - is all the spoilers will be out there.
Re: Ex-PS5 Exec Shawn Layden Isn't Holding Back His Feelings on Xbox
@get2sammyb it is mentioned further in his interview.
The similar articles on your sister site PureXbox has the video link.

Both have used these tactics in the past. Neither is better than the other.
Re: Xbox Really Wasn't Happy with PlayStation's Call of Duty Marketing Deal
Well I’m sure the comment section here will be reasonable and thought out.

Re: PS5 Fans Beg Sony for a More Fulfilling Livestream in the Aftermath of Xbox Show
@somnambulance I think the Nintendo show will be weaker than the MS one.
Switch is too near end of its life now, the big girls surely have to be for switch 2, so they won’t be shown?
Re: PS5 Fans Beg Sony for a More Fulfilling Livestream in the Aftermath of Xbox Show
@Gamer_X
But what does a showcase mean? It doesn’t mean anything.
Xbox has to deliver the goods.
Re: PS5 Fans Beg Sony for a More Fulfilling Livestream in the Aftermath of Xbox Show
It’s amazing how many Xbox ‘fans’ are here to defend them instead of just enjoying what they have just seen.
Pretty sad tbh.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Gets October Release Date on PS5, PS4
It’s only 310gb.
Be downloading it for 6 months…
Re: Some PlayStation Fans Are Losing Their Minds Over LEGO Horizon Being on Switch
Everyone still convinced Sony chose this. Yes like they chose to put MLB on Xbox. Wasn’t part of it at all.
Re: Some PlayStation Fans Are Losing Their Minds Over LEGO Horizon Being on Switch
@OldGamer999 I get it. It makes sense, but it’s not how Sony have operated or communicated recently at all.
Re: Black Myth: Wukong's Physical Editions Won't Have Actual Discs at Launch, Just Digital Codes
I guess I’m definitely waiting for reviews, and most likely a sale now.
I do not like that digital is a higher price.
Re: Some PlayStation Fans Are Losing Their Minds Over LEGO Horizon Being on Switch
Was this even a Sony decision?
Maybe it was a compromise to get the game made? You can imagine Lego wouldn’t just want it on one system?

Re: Poll: Was Summer Game Fest 2024 Great or a Letdown?
There were a couple of good things, maybe a few interesting smaller games too.
But for a 2hour show? Poor is the best I can give it.
Re: Genre Pivot, 'Toxic Positivity' Blamed for Suicide Squad's $200 Million Flop
Im confused.
The last article/other parts of the report said rocksteady were working on a live service multiplayer puzzler game. So they were already moving away from single player when WB got them to change to SS.
Re: PlayStation Fans Are Losing Their Heads Over an Iffy Portable PS4 Rumour

Maybe in a couple of years? Maybe it’s a counter to the MS rumours, so Sony don’t get left behind?
Or maybe it’s just fake news as it’s from Russia.
Re: Poll: Are You Hyped for Summer Game Fest 2024?
I’ll watch it.
Not excited for it or anything, mildly interested I guess.
But there’s normally way to much waffling that 98% of the audience don’t want.
Re: Breath of the Wild Meets Style Savvy in Whimsical PS5 Open World Infinity Nikki
People complain that Sony don’t offer different types of games, they get one, then complain again it’s f2p.
Re: Astro Bot Is the 'Biggest' Game Team ASOBI Has Ever Made
@NEStalgia I really do think it may follow with VR, didn’t Sony even say at some point they want to release games like that (I forget how they call it).
Also you say Sony charge high, but recently HD2 was a good price, so you never know it may be £60 not £70
Re: Astro Bot Is the 'Biggest' Game Team ASOBI Has Ever Made
Im looking forward to this very much.
I have a feeling a VR version may well follow
Re: Latest State of Play Is One of the Worst-Received PS5 Shows Yet
Maybe if pushsquare stop fanning the flames. Already had one article about it.
It was average. It was a 30minute show. Wasn’t a huge show that was promoted for weeks.
Once again it’s not Sonys fault that people were expecting wolverine/GoT2 and many more.
Re: Monster Hunter Wilds Is Making Some Big Changes as Capcom Drops First Gameplay Details
I think for those struggling with all the mechanics, try the heavy bow gun. (Both world/rise)
Does good damage and you can put auto block on, to help you learn monster moves etc.
Re: Big New PS5, PC Shooter Concord Has an Uphill Battle Ahead of It
Then we all remember it’s just the minority on Social media.
Sooner we stop using this rubbish, the better the world will become.
Re: Monster Hunter Wilds Is Making Some Big Changes as Capcom Drops First Gameplay Details
I know this will use up A LOT of my time. No qualms or worries about release state etc. I just hope it is around Easter and not xmas
Re: State of Play Officially Confirmed for 30th May, Updates on PS5, PSVR2 Games
@Sifi it’s pretty clear you don’t. Everyone has read your comments on PX. And that’s fine. PlayStation isn’t for everyone just as an Xbox/pc etc isn’t for everyone
Re: Reaction: PS5 Livestreams Are No Longer Speaking to the Fans Who Built the Brand
@Gamer_X because MS, Nintendo, Steam etc care?
Re: Reaction: PS5 Livestreams Are No Longer Speaking to the Fans Who Built the Brand
@Titntin @Shepherd_Tallon @themightyant
Fully agree here.
And I’m not saying it was fantastic or anything. There was a good mix of games, most with a release date.
Whatever Sony do currently ‘gamers’ say they want the opposite. (Or Xbox etc etc)

Re: Reaction: PS5 Livestreams Are No Longer Speaking to the Fans Who Built the Brand
@get2sammyb read the comments, look what people were expecting. It was never happening in a 30 minute show
Re: Reaction: PS5 Livestreams Are No Longer Speaking to the Fans Who Built the Brand
The state of play was ok.
This ‘opinion’ is a massive over reaction.
It’s not Sonys (or MS or Nintendo) fault that gamers get hyped up.
There was nothing inherently terrible about any of the games (except the marvel one). It’s just because they didn’t get the game they wanted to see.
Most sensible posters didn’t expect anything huge anyway.
Re: PS5, PC Fans Are Trying to Figure Out if Concord Is Free-to-Play
@trev666 there were plenty questioning it when it was shown in trailers. I’m just saying that Sony generally release good quality games. So may be worth waiting for hands on
Re: PS5, PC Fans Are Trying to Figure Out if Concord Is Free-to-Play
Pretty much remember everybody slating helldivers 2 from their trailers. And we know how that turned out. So maybe give it a bit of a chance?
If they price it at £30/35 I think it will do ok. Not going to set the world alight.
Re: PS5 Platformer Astro Bot Will Have 80 Action-Packed Levels
This looked a lot of fun.
I’m glad Sony managed to keep a (relative) lid on any leaks/announcement of a game until pretty close to its release. For me it’s a good way of doing it ( even if I’m still super happy wilds got an early trailer!)
Re: Monster Hunter Wilds Gets First Gameplay, Looks Like the Evolution of World
I am already confident this will be one of the best (and most likely my goty) games of 25
Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Sony's State of Play for May 2024?
I think people always have too high expectations of these things and always feel let down.
Nothing looked inherently shocking.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Sony's State of Play for May 2024?
It was ok.
Few meh stuff for me.
Few interesting looking titles.
Then MHWilds and Astro bot - with a release date, that is soon
Re: Concord Is Sony's Answer to Overwatch, Launches August, Beta Test in July
It’s not for me, but I got to admit it did look of a good standard
Re: Dynasty Warriors Origins Could Be the Comeback Fans Have Been Waiting For on PS5
Hopefully it’s good, I got a little burnt out on last few titles.
I noticed it only said ps5… exclusive?
Re: PS5 Players Are Buying Fewer New Games, But Spending More Than Ever Overall
Most know you can buy new games half price within 3-6months.
Then you have subscription models that often end up having the games ‘wanted to try but not for £40+’.
Also the recent cost of living crisis. It all adds up.
Re: Talking Point: State of Play May 2024 Predictions - What's Next for PS5?
I think it will be far far more understated than what people think. And people are getting their hopes up just to be let down.
Probably live service stuff fairgame/concord. GoW for PC. Couple of 3rd party that they have the advertising rights
Re: State of Play Officially Confirmed for 30th May, Updates on PS5, PSVR2 Games
@Sifi why do you care? You don’t own a PlayStation? You despise everything to do with PlayStation so why even have an account here?
Re: Over 500 Massive PS5, PS4 Games Discounted As Days of Play Gets Underway
So matching/more than what many cost physical
Re: Big Discounts on PS Plus Subs, PS5 Consoles, and PSVR2 in Days of Play Promotion
@Americansamurai1 eh? 20% off? You could often buy FW for half price, Curry’s currently selling Ghost of Tshushima for £17….
Re: Frostpunk 2 Forecasts Post-Apocalyptic Survival Strategy and Cutthroat Politics
@itsfoz they pushed back the console release of CS2 because the PC version was released in a complete mess.
The no ps5 release date for this would most likely mean MS made some kind of deal you would guess.
