@MrPeanutbutterz "2K is a publisher not a platform holder" is shifting the goalposts.
We were talking about MS & Sony platforms so the only one who was moving goalposts was you mentioning 2K trying to prove a point. If you don't see the difference between a publisher or a platform holder hiking prices, I can't help you.
I came with facts (objectively) and experience (mine and others). I ended one service because I owned most games I wanted to play/liked.
I'm not only talking about me but about the overall consensus about Remakes/Remasters from last gen and the lack of first party titles this year on PS. But sure try to argue about that 🙄
And what are you even on about/or trying to argue about? Oh, that question was rhetoric!
@MrPeanutbutterz "What alternative timeline is this? 2K had 80 bucks games first. Sony's subs cost less than Microsoft's (and Premium gives you significantly more content for that lower price). Sony have more first party games this gen than Microsoft (Microsoft had a grand total of zero for the Series X at launch). And I'd much rather play remasters of GoT or Death Stranding than listen to Microsoft say "it'll be out year next year!" for the tenth year in a row." END
-No alternative timeline. Digital PS store had €80 long before MS and they even waited for longer to do the same. 2K is a publisher, not a platform holder.
-PSPlus had an + 35% increase! And I do disagree on the Premium content compared to GPU, at least until the end of the year (probably due to owning a large first party collection on PS).
-Not talking about this gen, talking about this year where little amount of first party titles came out (worse couple of SOP's) and the console still sold like candy.
-And if you like to play the same game over and over again with an unnecessary upgrade, more power to you. I don't mind some but that should be a side note to a lot more new IP's!
PSPlus has become better for customers because of Game Pass, you do realize that?
Competition forces better products. Maybe you like to sight of MS failing, I for one, don't have one bit of "Schadenfreude" for any of the gaming companies (since I own every one of them since the eighties = bought for good games). The failing of Concord (probably biggest failure in gaming history) will have consequences for devs and gamers on PS.
And MS not knowing what path to follow lately isn't very encouraging either.
PS and Ninty are the game darlings of the world. And Sony can even afford of bringing a very low amount of first party titles and people still buy the console, even a PS5 Pro where people can play most of Remake/Remasters on. They were the first ones with the 70$/€80 base game price and making their subs a lot more expensive ...
MS Xbox could never afford to do that and when they do, they get a lot of slack, as they should but PS shouldn't get a free pass either. Since the day & date with PC they left the core console space but people like to compare console sales.
With the older PS generations the console had a DVD and Blu-Ray player so they got a big advantage on that but, today as brand they seem to be unbeatable with a head on competition.
For every gamers sake, I hope MS does something special next gen because, if not, we are going to need bigger wallets!
Loved these devs but this game had a lot of launch problems (+AI) and lacked content imo. It looked (and looks) incredible (dynamic weather system) and had so much potential! But with the GT series it probably never stood a chance on the PS platform.
Glad to see people wanting the Motorstorm franchise back and hopefully there is some credibility on the PS5 Remaster rumors (potentially developed by Lucid Games, known for titles like Destruction AllStars).
They got bought for doing those. It's not that other IP's can't be made. The will only get better at it.
Haven't been able to read the whole thread but I saw Socom, Motorstorm, ... PS3 titles as a rumor. If true, a better choice than games who don't need a Remaster/Remake.
You need to complete the PushSquare Ultimate Quiz: Test Your PlayStation General Knowledge - The PS5 Pro Edition with bonus questions, and the average must be an 8 to get in front of the line. Under an 8, you get pushed back at the end of the line 😜
Cute and all but not sure if it's for me, but, I'll try everything and will give everything a chance and maybe like the gameplay loop. Global pre-registration is almost 20 million so a lot of people want to jump in!
Ads are some of my biggest gripes of annoyance on a daily basis. It acts like a stalker. On desktop, laptop, smartphone, letterbox, television, ... (and not even counting spam + glad there is Brave to name one).
It stopped me -personally- from watching certain channels on TV because at the end of the day I got Ads with some pieces of a Movie in between. And we can't "forward" the recording anymore in a lot of cases either!
If something is free in its use, I can understand that ads are needed. I don't like it, but I understand. When you have paid for the whole deal, ads should not be there.
Now (and before) on PS5 (and Xbox too) you get ads to buy a game even if you already own it. At least "up your Ads game" a little bit.
For now it has a news cycle but not a recent one so that doesn't make any sense either. Reason people complaining is because they already know where it could be going.
If you need to put ads in, at least do some effort so consumers can tailor it in somehow, without being intrusive. The main thing that needs to catch your eye, is the game you are playing or want to play not a disturbing ad.
Ads are pure gold for companies and they will try to push it as hard as they can, even so hard, it tries to convince you to buy their "premium tier" because you get annoyed.
Ads are so intrusive, when going to far, people start trying "other" ways to get that content. I don't think people mind when they played TLOU and got some news/trailer of a TV show that's coming based on their playlist.
Golden rule is, apply some but don't exaggerate ...
It's all early days so I'm sure there will be several updates to make it more "enjoyable/smarter/let it make sense" for the consumer.
In this case it's not complaining really (be glad they do because one day you could benefit from it), it's drawing a line in the sand of what not to do in case they forgot what the consumer does dislike while enjoying their hobby.
@TheShallowWorld "This immature and unnatural obsession with the sexual anatomy of the female body isn’t “harmless fun” .. there’s a psychopath on trial in France whose crimes were discovered ..."
Tbf, the discourse is still about some videogame. Unless you are categorizing people who play violent games (GTA, Mortal Kombat, ...) under the same heading?
Most people know the difference between videogames and real life. The ones that don't, well, those people have trouble watching the every day news too.
If playing a videogame, and it's changing your moral compass, you have a problem, and you should seek another hobby imho!
At the end of the day, there are more limits in videogames than in TV shows or movies.
The game is good overall, so it's "some part" of the game and not the only reason why people play it.
That is sneaky indeed but it makes sense! Since many people are commenting on it, it's clearly an optics problem. I applaud Sony since I got it for free so spending €10 is very acceptable.
I wonder what the percentages are of people following the series as a gamer and how many people could/would start gaming because of watching and liking it?
@Titntin After seeing some of the first impressions of the Pro I must admit the differences are bigger than initially thought (but to expensive for me to justify).
Of course, it's only the first dev (Koei Tecmo) that mentions a buff in frame rate but IIRC there were some games -on the end of the cycle- on the OG PS4 that struggled (accompanied by huge noises) in comparison to the PS4 Pro while the base PS4 should've been the target.
They have a lot of games in development and looking forward to play two of them if they manage to release them and that's a Remake of Prince of Persia and Splinter Cell.
I do like their recent PoP game and AC Mirage was enjoyable too. Actually love the shorter experiences myself.
Very interested in what the "various circumstances" mean for real!
Agree, the developer should fix the shoddy frame rate!
Don't start - as a dev - with the mindset that a Pro will solve your problems (well, our problems). What's next, OG PS5 holds back the future of next-gen from now on?
Glad the spidey senses where right on this one. That is what PS needs, some first party titles in the near future. That said, 2025 can be soon or late if it's at the end. GOT release was around July IIRC and maybe that could be an indicator?
There will be time though when several first party titles (even new IP's we haven't seen yet) will release. I hope to see it sooner than later (Naughty Dog, Housemarque, Media Molecule, Santa Monica Studio, SuckerPunch Studios, Insomoniac Games, ...)
Wait & see... The Gaming market will have changed a lot by then. And Sony needs to change in supporting their add-on devices more with good first party titles. The PSVita deserved a lot more imho!
First I would like to see if Nintendo is copying the Switch path in 2025 or if it's going to feature something new/extra/innovative.
If the game is older and was a good game at his OG release date, I completely understand an Remake (prefer them over Remaster since non of the mechanics gets changes in the latter).
-For instance TLOU Part 1 would've been great with all the TLOU Part 2 mechanics (don't know if they were implementable or not). Especially after it already had a remaster.
And that's what people dislike, if the game had already a remaster and devs keep repeating that process on the newer machine, time after time. Worst example is GTA5.
It can be a two edged sword of course, people who never played it before or people that are eagerly waiting for the next iteration of that game.
Another point that could change my mind is the price. I had no problem buying the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection for €10 since I owned both OG titles.
The Horizon Zero Dawn (edit) one, I don't understand at all and find it unnecessary myself. But, somehow there must be an easy possible profit or it's so easy to port that it takes not much effort. Or is there a free upgrade path for PS5 owners?
If a complete Motorstorm or Resistance collection would be remade, I would be in, no doubt about that!
That's why it would be very interesting to know what the budget of a Remake and/or Remaster is and at the end, what the profits are. So I could see the perspective on why they do it.
I do think it's about money, boosting the brand (getting people interested in spin-offs --> TV shows or movies or even older games of that series).
Even though, you get to choose buying it or not, it isn't a good look because at the end of the day, we all want the best edition of that game, but not in paying full price for the same game, time and time again. Do it in such a way, people don't have the feeling it's about greed or trying to fool you with PR speak why you should buy the new one.
Argh, they gave up the PS Vita way too soon, especially when you see the succes of the Switch (in hindsight). I actually enjoyed that handheld, even the Mini's!
The save bug was unfortunate. The only personally thing I had trouble with was the controller, especially the horizontal placed thumb-sticks. After a few hours of use I always got cramps in the left thumb, a reason why I prefer the Xbox controller where I don't have that problem. The use of the left thumb in this game is brutal (= the cross, triangle, circle, cross & square levels since you need to finish it in 1 go) but the gameplay overall is top notch and has many magical moments.
The stand + DD = €150 here. The more I see the price the more I think scalpers have a lot to do with it. Sony want to collect that money instead of losing it attitude (a point I'll give them).
Beside sales in about 6-12 months, I also want to see who will make Pro features of their game. Certainly not MS, so I expect First Party and some Third Party. Overall, it will not be worth it imho. I don't expect overall 60 FPS magic in games that didn't have it. Bloodborne without the mod is still 30 FPS on PS5?
Way to expensive! No disk drive & even more surprised, not even a stand? It's not only a case of people being able to afford it but PS adopting those typical Apple antics and get away with that! A fool and his money are easily parted.
But ... if it could have officially emulated Sony PS3 games, I think, people would have been a lot more interested.
If you don't own a PS5 then maybe, until I saw the price without a even a disc drive. The impression of this Cerny talk was not very positive, especially towards the many PS5 owners. Almost like, your PS5 can't do the "big three", you need to upgrade.
I always go for performance mode and I expect the "big three" to be on that machine, especially with the 8K on the box.
Now, get out of your bubble, go make some SP games, and forget about this silliness!!
Some comments are funny and ignorant, even on Twitter/X calling them a tiny, tiny band ... blablabla exposure ... and you'll regret not taking the $7500 ... WTH? Who are those people? They could at least try to use Google ...
Good music is a big reason what makes GTA games stand out!
I saw this coming but wanted to keep some hope for the full release as this is my fave genre and it had some different features. Loved the first TDU but this genre has a fierce competition, current day! They said the final version wasn't close to the final release but the technical problems haven't disappeared all of a sudden. With time these could be resolved but will it be enough to convince gamers?
Let a new road to nostalgia begin! A game full of gameplay, no less! Reactions of people playing this game would be quite entertaining! If you're having a bad day, this game will help you out!
That's crazy for a AAA new IP (2 weeks must be a sad record). A lot of people will probably lose their job and like I said before, I truly feel for them. I'm not a fan of GAAS but this is something you wouldn't wish on your colleague devs (dislike them or not) on whatever platform.
When Halo Infinite wasn't doing so great a lot of people laughed at MS. With Concord, the situation is even worse, and people with a sense of schadenfreude will turn up again, which is sad & cruel!
The person(s) responsible for giving this the green light will probably stay unscathed and won't have a worry in the world. Many gamers can see the market for these are over saturated! (still leadership made this expensive gamble)
This is a financial disaster and the dev will probably never recover. Tough decisions are going to be made.
Letting it bleed out on PS+ or trying to remake characters and universe and keep the good gameplay? Is the latter even an option? I mean, lessons will need to be learned but this is such a fiasco for a dev that isn't even bad overall imo.
Edit: and Bungie isn't doing very well with future Marathon either, according to Jason Schreier!
@Blofse Haha, I didn't buy it either and don't regret it. It's all about the game. It's so easy to get sucked in all that. We have to be strong sometimes😁
The creativity is God Tier. After getting the bots I almost forgot to get the remaining PS5 artifacts and going into the mission room where other bots are hard at work, accompanied with a visible countdown when release is due!
Despite knowing how most players feel about this "DOA" game, I do feel concerned about the devs at this point. These are not bad devs, it is not Gollom standard by any means!
At this point, is it even possible to turn that players amount around?
Sony even knew how the game was going in a certain way, but didn't step in to put it on PS+ for instance. They lose the money either way but now there is so much negativity around this title, people won't forget about it soon! This could've been minimal damage!
This game is going to be epic and it's not even my favorite genre. From what I've seen and heard, I almost know this game is going to rate not lower than 9 or 10 out of 10! This game will hold its price for a long time too I bet. With how this game will be packed full of little details I would say it warrants a day 1 purchase.

I don't expect overall 60 FPS magic in games that didn't have it. Bloodborne without the mod is still 30 FPS on PS5?

Wow, that's nice to hear!
Re: Talking Point: Is PS5 Pro Way Too Expensive?
Way to expensive! No disk drive & even more surprised, not even a stand? It's not only a case of people being able to afford it but PS adopting those typical Apple antics and get away with that! A fool and his money are easily parted.
But ... if it could have officially emulated Sony PS3 games, I think, people would have been a lot more interested.
Re: Poll: Are You Sold on PS5 Pro?
Imagine what the launch price of the PS6 will be ... and will it have a disc drive? Hopefully, they get a bit humbled ...
Re: Poll: Are You Sold on PS5 Pro?
Not even with a free PSVR2!
And I'm sure scalpers were part of the equation for setting that price range. Really curious about the sales in about 6-12 months!
Re: PS5 Pro Announced, Costs $700 and Out in November
If you don't own a PS5 then maybe, until I saw the price without a even a disc drive. The impression of this Cerny talk was not very positive, especially towards the many PS5 owners. Almost like, your PS5 can't do the "big three", you need to upgrade.
I always go for performance mode and I expect the "big three" to be on that machine, especially with the 8K on the box.
Now, get out of your bubble, go make some SP games, and forget about this silliness!!
Edit:
$700 = €634,89
€800 = $881,98
Re: 80s Synthpop Stars Heaven 17 Resist the Temptation of PS5's GTA 6
@nessisonett
Exactly!
$7500 - for a buyout of any future royalties from the game - forever…" is insulting indeed!
They don't need the exposure either but got it already by exposing Rockstar!
And to think, a lot of people seem to think this is normal behavior and seeing this as a fit, smh!
Re: 80s Synthpop Stars Heaven 17 Resist the Temptation of PS5's GTA 6
Some comments are funny and ignorant, even on Twitter/X calling them a tiny, tiny band ... blablabla exposure ... and you'll regret not taking the $7500 ... WTH? Who are those people? They could at least try to use Google ...
Good music is a big reason what makes GTA games stand out!
Re: Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown Review (PS5) - Flawless Driving Stalled by Technical Issues and a Lacking Hong Kong
I saw this coming but wanted to keep some hope for the full release as this is my fave genre and it had some different features. Loved the first TDU but this genre has a fierce competition, current day! They said the final version wasn't close to the final release but the technical problems haven't disappeared all of a sudden. With time these could be resolved but will it be enough to convince gamers?
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Astro Bot?
We need more creative games that put a smile on your face while playing. This game is pure happiness!
Re: Astro Bot PS5 Is the Best Game of the Year So Far
As expected, mostly 9 & 10 out 10 scores! Pre-order worthy!
Re: Astro Bot (PS5) - One of the Greatest PlayStation Platformers of All Time
Let a new road to nostalgia begin! A game full of gameplay, no less! Reactions of people playing this game would be quite entertaining! If you're having a bad day, this game will help you out!
Re: PS5, PC Shooter Concord Dead on Arrival, Is Being Taken Offline This Week as Dev 'Explores Options'
That's crazy for a AAA new IP (2 weeks must be a sad record). A lot of people will probably lose their job and like I said before, I truly feel for them. I'm not a fan of GAAS but this is something you wouldn't wish on your colleague devs (dislike them or not) on whatever platform.
When Halo Infinite wasn't doing so great a lot of people laughed at MS. With Concord, the situation is even worse, and people with a sense of schadenfreude will turn up again, which is sad & cruel!
The person(s) responsible for giving this the green light will probably stay unscathed and won't have a worry in the world. Many gamers can see the market for these are over saturated! (still leadership made this expensive gamble)
This is a financial disaster and the dev will probably never recover. Tough decisions are going to be made.
Letting it bleed out on PS+ or trying to remake characters and universe and keep the good gameplay? Is the latter even an option? I mean, lessons will need to be learned but this is such a fiasco for a dev that isn't even bad overall imo.
Edit: and Bungie isn't doing very well with future Marathon either, according to Jason Schreier!
Re: PS5's Astro Bot Marketing Onslaught Starting in Busy Shopping Mall
@Blofse Haha, I didn't buy it either and don't regret it. It's all about the game. It's so easy to get sucked in all that. We have to be strong sometimes😁
Re: PS5's Astro Bot Marketing Onslaught Starting in Busy Shopping Mall
I will eat my PS5 controller if this game isn't going to be successful😜
Re: Astro's Playroom: All Special Bots Locations
The creativity is God Tier. After getting the bots I almost forgot to get the remaining PS5 artifacts and going into the mission room where other bots are hard at work, accompanied with a visible countdown when release is due!
4 days ...
Re: Players Complain of Lengthy PS5 Matchmaking Times As Concord Numbers Dwindle
Despite knowing how most players feel about this "DOA" game, I do feel concerned about the devs at this point. These are not bad devs, it is not Gollom standard by any means!
At this point, is it even possible to turn that players amount around?
Sony even knew how the game was going in a certain way, but didn't step in to put it on PS+ for instance. They lose the money either way but now there is so much negativity around this title, people won't forget about it soon! This could've been minimal damage!
Re: Mark Cerny's Feedback on PS5's Astro Bot: 'Now This Is a Game'
This game is going to be epic and it's not even my favorite genre. From what I've seen and heard, I almost know this game is going to rate not lower than 9 or 10 out of 10! This game will hold its price for a long time too I bet. With how this game will be packed full of little details I would say it warrants a day 1 purchase.
