Having seen how this generation has performed I wouldn't be in any rush to get a PS6 and will likely wait a few years after its released. It feels like we're pretty much at peak technology and generational leaps are now much more minor.
With all the recent price rises, I'm starting to feel Sony are really fleecing consumers. Not having any viable competitor is really not good for gamers and is only going to make them more complacent.
This honestly just looks largely similar to other games currently on the market? Very graphically pretty but I wouldn't say it's leaps away from most recent AAA titles.
The PS4 Pro was in announced in September 2016 and released in November 2016, still plenty of time for this unnecessary model to make it to market by the end of 2024.
It's so bizarre that the anniversary re-release is literally done and it's just sitting on Ubisoft's servers despite already getting a partial release.
I didn't think I'd be into Ghost of Tsushima but it's an absolute blast. Fun to play, great story and visually stunning. There's definitely some open-world bloat but you can totally ignore it and have a really good experience.
Curious how Rebirth sales compared to Remake. The latter launched during the height of the pandemic but digital sales have drastically increased since 2020.
Is it normal to be 4 years into development without a publisher? That seems like a worrying sign when you've no guaranteed income or way to release the game.
I'm ready for the multitude of article talking about how poorly this game sells. Every new bit of info "revealed" feels like more and more damage control.
Square Enix's determination to torpedo their goodwill over the past few years is astounding to see. They desperately need new management or I really worry about their future once they're done milking Final Fantasy remakes and re-releases.
@CharlieChooChoo It's about a 7 out of 10, maybe an 8 if you're a Harry Potter fan. It's enjoyable but over-stuffed and a very Ubisoft-led approach to an open world title.

Re: Acclaimed PS5 Platformer Astro Bot Really Couldn't Be Selling Any Better
@LifeGirl What a weird unrelated connection. By the same logic, if we take Concord into consideration, does that mean Spider-Man 2 was a bomb?
Re: PS Store Sales Charts: Astro Bot, Space Marine 2, and Sports Games Slug It Out in September
That seems like a pretty solid for Astro Bot, especially considering its production wasn't massive.
Re: Random: Internet Trolls Tried to Downgrade Our Silent Hill 2 PS5 Review Score
You just know the losers who did this are the sort of people who use phrases like "go woke go broke". Sad.
Re: Ghost of Yotei's Gorgeous Open World Will Be Less Repetitive Than Tsushima's
Great news, it was the main flaw of the original. If they can perfect this it will be an incredible sequel.
Re: Recently Revealed Dead By Daylight Spin-Off Project T Already Cancelled
Weird to announce it before they've even carried out an internal risk assessment, surely that's the first step?
Re: PS6 Is Already Deep in Development, Backwards Compatibility of High Importance
Having seen how this generation has performed I wouldn't be in any rush to get a PS6 and will likely wait a few years after its released. It feels like we're pretty much at peak technology and generational leaps are now much more minor.
Re: Wow, PS5 Open Worlder Crimson Desert Gets 50 Whole Minutes of Gorgeous 4K Gameplay
What is up with the noise when the character walks, it sounds like someone hammering. Highly irritating.
Re: PS5 Pro Announced, Costs $700 and Out in November
€800?! Hard pass.
Re: Sony Increases PS5 Controller Prices in US, Europe, and More
With all the recent price rises, I'm starting to feel Sony are really fleecing consumers. Not having any viable competitor is really not good for gamers and is only going to make them more complacent.
Re: Incredible Looking Trails in the Sky Remake Is Real, But PS5, PS4 Players Will Have to Wait
@RagnarLothbrok "switch is unplayable"? At least you're not being over dramatic.
Re: Dealmania Hits PS Store with Around 1,300 PS5, PS4 Game Discounts
I'm tempted to get Civ 6 at that price. I already own it on Switch but performance isn't great. Anyone have an experience with the PS version?
Re: PS5 Open World Crimson Desert Gets 7 Minutes of Raw Gameplay, and It Looks Ridiculous
This honestly just looks largely similar to other games currently on the market? Very graphically pretty but I wouldn't say it's leaps away from most recent AAA titles.
Re: 15 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Announced for August 2024
I'm going to try The Witcher 3 for the third time and hopefully I can get beyond the opening few hours this time...
Re: Doubt Cast Over PS5 Pro Actually Releasing This Year
The PS4 Pro was in announced in September 2016 and released in November 2016, still plenty of time for this unnecessary model to make it to market by the end of 2024.
Re: Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition Confirmed for Limited Run Games Showcase
It'll be exciting to finally own this on a CD-R if Limited Run are involved.
Re: Beyond Good & Evil 2 Seemingly Vapourware After Another No-Show at Ubisoft Forward
It's so bizarre that the anniversary re-release is literally done and it's just sitting on Ubisoft's servers despite already getting a partial release.
Re: Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remake Gets the Tiniest of Teasers, Now Targeting 2026
Calling this a teaser feels generous, it literally could have been for any game.
Re: Phantom Blade Zero Still Looks Brilliant, But Release Date Remains in Limbo
This looks great, hopefully with gameplay demos this summer a release can’t be far off…
Re: Second Silent Hill Transmission Invites Imminent 'Game Updates, a Deeper Look at the Film'
@UltimateOtaku91 We've been hearing that every week for the past few weeks...
Re: Dragon Quest 3's HD-2D Remake Re-Emerges for PS5
@Haruki_NLI The Switch is actually the biggest platform Japan has ever had but either way it's a bit odd this is missing PS4.
HD-2D remakes haven't historically been the most graphically demanding titles so PS4 should be well able to run it.
Re: Uncover The First Descendant's Sci-Fi Setting in Convoluted Story Trailer
Thought this looked like a day one purchase until I realised it's some live service co-op nonsense. What a pity.
Re: Ubisoft Thanks Players for 'Tremendous Response' to Skull and Bones, Season 2 on the Horizon
@Enigk More like plAAAAyer
Re: Is Crash Bandicoot, Spyro Studio Toys for Bob Teasing a New Game?
I hope if it's a new Crash it's not as frustratingly difficult as Crash 4.
Re: Sony Increasingly Focused on PS5 Playtime Alongside Hardware Sales
Give me good first-party single-player games and I'll happily increase my PS5 playtime.
Re: Stellar Blade PS5 Fans Irate Over Alleged Censorship
Gamers get out more challenge.
Re: Embracer CEO Admits Mistakes Were Made: 'I Could Take a Lot of That Blame Myself'
"I could take a lot of that blame myself."
He should take all of the blame himself.
Re: Immortals of Aveum Getting Futuristic FSR 3, HDR Support on PS5
@Professor_Niggle Their source is a press release from the developer, why so salty about DF?
I do wish they'd announce the release date for this patch as I'd like to play it but will hold off until it's updated.
Re: Huge PS5, PS4 Games Discounted for the Weekend Only
UK consumers are getting really screwed over with those exchange rates.
Re: PS Store Sales Charts: Helldivers 2 Is Unstoppable, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Settles for Second
Weird you didn’t show the full chart. Push Square are so odd when it comes to any formatting or embedding other than blocks of text.
Re: Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut Finally Confirmed for PC, Launches This May
I didn't think I'd be into Ghost of Tsushima but it's an absolute blast. Fun to play, great story and visually stunning. There's definitely some open-world bloat but you can totally ignore it and have a really good experience.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Debuts at the Top, Helldivers 2 Holds Firm
Curious how Rebirth sales compared to Remake. The latter launched during the height of the pandemic but digital sales have drastically increased since 2020.
Re: Jan 2024 USA Sales: Tekken, Suicide Squad, Persona, Like a Dragon, The Last of Us All Winners on PS5
@Deoxyr1bose I'm guessing the Jan trading period may cover up to the w/e Feb 4th but their inclusion does seem strange.
Re: Connecting Worlds, the Hideo Kojima Documentary, Is Out Now on Disney+
Sweet, really loving a lot of the more niche stuff Disney+ has on the platform of late.
Re: Surprise! Indie Platformer Penny's Big Breakaway Available Now on PS5
@rjejr Yooka Laylee was incredibly disappointing but Impossible Lair was terrific, don't let the first title put you off.
Re: Surprise! Indie Platformer Penny's Big Breakaway Available Now on PS5
I've been looking forward to this but going to wait for reviews first after the Clive & Wrench fiasco.
Re: Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance on PS5, PS4 Confirmed, Out in June 2024
I really wanted to get this for Switch but the performance was pretty poor. Hoping the PS5 version solves all those issues.
Re: Little Devil Inside Finally Resurfaces with New Trailer, Kickstarter Update
Is it normal to be 4 years into development without a publisher? That seems like a worrying sign when you've no guaranteed income or way to release the game.
Re: Kojima: Your Mother Won't Be Able to Tell the Difference Between PHYSINT and a Movie
Probably the most pretentious game developer out there. He'd eat his own hype if he could.
Re: Assassin's Creed Red Will Sneak onto PS5 by March 2025
Looks like a big year for media set in feudal Japan between AC, Rise of the Ronin and Shogun.
Re: New Burnout Game Possibly Teased in Developer Tweet
@SgtTruth Gamers are so weirdly entitled sometimes.
Really excited if this is a new Burnout game. I would have settled for even some of the remasters as Paradise was my least fave in the series.
Re: Rumour: Sonic Generations May Make a Comeback During Sony's State of Play
@Shinnok789 They released a Shadow-focused game before and it was a disaster.
Re: Suicide Squad's Live-Service Content Isn't Designed to Take Over Your Life
I'm ready for the multitude of article talking about how poorly this game sells. Every new bit of info "revealed" feels like more and more damage control.
Re: Almost 2,000 PS5, PS4 Games Going Cheap in Bumper New Year PS Store Sale
I like how PushSquare put together a "curated" list and yet included... Gollum?!
Re: Square Enix Confirms AI Art Use in PS5, PS4 Exclusive Foamstars
Square Enix's determination to torpedo their goodwill over the past few years is astounding to see. They desperately need new management or I really worry about their future once they're done milking Final Fantasy remakes and re-releases.
Re: Fake Mobile Game Ads Are the Focus of New PS5 Release
This title sounds interesting, hopefully the gameplay is fun!
The only good thing since Twitter's Musk-takeover has been the inclusion of Community Notes trolling the ads for these fakes games.
Re: Apex Legends Fans Are Absolutely Irate with the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Event's Pricing
What's the old saying about a fool and their money? Anyone who pays for all of this gear is just contributing to these predatory practices.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Hogwarts Legacy Is the Country's Biggest Boxed Release of 2023
@CharlieChooChoo It's about a 7 out of 10, maybe an 8 if you're a Harry Potter fan. It's enjoyable but over-stuffed and a very Ubisoft-led approach to an open world title.
Re: Square Enix Resolves to Implement 'Aggressive' AI Strategy in 2024
Crazy idea but if Square Enix maybe stopped chasing the latest fad and just focused on making more good games, profits would improve.
Re: Sony Officially Confirms PS5 Has Passed the 50 Million Units Milestone
Great news, hopefully now we can finally leave last gen behind and only build games from the ground up for PS5.
Re: Former The Day Before Dev Dishes on Chaotic Studio Situation
I look forward to a documentary on this saga, I feel like there's still more to come...
