"The only way to transfer your PS5 save data from a base PS5 to PS5 Pro outside of the official Data Transfer process detailed above is through a PS Plus subscription".

Such a rip off having to pay for a subscription just for cloud saves, it's free on Xbox so why do you have to pay on PS5 ?

'It will bolster its monthly active user statistics' .

That's not good.

@Fritz167 or stand.

Weird seeing "Sony interactive entertainment presents" at the start of the game on Xbox.

So it's still only the one AAA First Party game a year.

@ChrisDeku Your clutching at straws, The Halo franchise has made over $1.8 billion just from Halo merchandise and multimedia, it has made multi Billions from game sales.
If one of the Series didn't sell well it's more than made up for multiple times just in the sales of merchandise/ multimedia alone.

Concord was a new IP that cost as much as $400 Million and didn't make a single penny anywhere, Firewalk Studios has now been closed, it is a total disaster.

"Finally, we brought four of our fan-favorite titles to Nintendo Switch and Sony PlayStation for the first time, as we continue to extend our content to new platforms," he writes, not before stating Microsoft's intention to bring "great games to more people on more devices".

There is nothing he said there (repeating the same thing twice dosen't make it more believable either) that says any other games will be going to Sony or Nintendo, just they will be going to more devices with Gamepass as they have recently been doing)
Most here always says Microsoft is all about Gamepass but suddenly they do a complete turn every time Microsoft mention anything about games on other devices!.

Sony keep you locked to their digital store (which not many complain about despite having to pay far more than when you also have 3rd party buying options) so of course they will want all digital only.

@Slayer25c That's just poor damage control, Dosen't matter who owns them it's who's getting them is all that matters, I have both subscriptions but if I want to play Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and COD Black Ops 6 on PlayStation I will have to pay $183 on top of the subscription.

@suprnova23 your joking they have never gone to to toe.
look at some of the games coming to Gamepass before Christmas..
COD Black Ops 6
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
Stalker 2
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
Genshin Impact
Mech Warrior clans
Nine Sols
All but one of those games are on there on day of release.

Absolute joke you still can't play PS1 games even if you bought them originally, instead they make you subscribe to play a 24 year old game.

@Contimaloris Nope, but Sony are removing a lot more games per month though. All the games worth playing here have been or are already on Gamepass.

@Shalooda Of course they will ask if it's going to Gamepass because many games do go to Gamepass Day One, it would be stupid to rush out and buy it on release only to find it was also on your subscription

@The_Wailing_Doom I think that saying is applied when there is a lack of AAA First Party games not 3rd party.

Releasing the Pro is going to be the next big mistake.

@kirkn Terrible, what exactly was the price rise for ?

@Smash41 This game is by a small studio that is locked into early access because its not finished and Microsoft are helping before it gets a full release.
That's a bit different to Sony paying 3rd parties not to release their games on other consoles, in fact Sony are basically surviving on those 3rd party titles where they can claim at least some exclusivity over them. Sony only now release one AAA First Party current gen title per year of their own.
Microsoft are releasing 5 of their own First Party titles between September to December.
Age of Mythology: Retold.
Ara: History Untold
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
Microsoft Flight Sim 2024
Indiana Jones

£700 - £800 for a Pro! What's the point when Sony only launch one First party AAA exclusive a year, especially now we have been told there will still be 30fps PS5 Pro enhanced games.

@Zeke68 But that would be wrong, Microsoft haven't owned it long enough to of done that, they only fully owned Activision in January 2022.

@Zeke68 You mean Activision before Microsoft bought them.?

Going FTP and putting it on PS Plus probably won't help either, remember they put Foamstars on PS Plus and it lost 95% of its player count within 2 months.

@MrMagic it's good that "You feel better because Microsoft paid for some marketing rights".
But Microsoft will feel far better as it will make them multi millions from Playstation owners when this game is released, plus I'm sure Xbox Gamepass owners will be glad you are covering the cost of them getting it on Gamepass day one at no extra cost. 👍

Sony released this on PS Plus in February and it lost 95% of the player base by April 10th.

@RBMango Yes plus God of war Ragnarok on PC and Windows handhelds and Age of Mythology: Retold on console, PC and Windows handhelds.

TimeSplitters, Sony making money again from old rope, these games should be free if you bought the original discs or bought them digitally.
Why do they keep making you pay for the same game again for each generation? All these games are backward compatible on Xbox, if you bought it once in a past generation you don't need to buy them again (or pay for a subscription) to play, plus many have FPS Boost etc added to them.

Can you use your original discs to play them like they do on Xbox, or are you going to have to buy the same game twice ? I see no reason why the PS5 can't just read the disc to check it's genuine.

@UltimateOtaku91 It's good that you can't belive it took over 7 years to make Hellblade 2 because it didn't.

'Ninja Theory Reveals When Hellblade 2 Development Started'
'Hellblade 2 development began in 2020, not earlier, surprising fans who assumed it had started much longer ago.'

@MrBook Bungie would be a good bet for next shutdown or at least big layoffs.

Helldivers 2 accounts for a lot of that, but so does the fact Sony still force you to take out a plus subscription just to have cloud saves on the PS5.

Next game will have deliberate FPS drops.

@rjejr Xbox and Gamepass has 4 or more AAA First Party exclusives coming this year , "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle", "Hellblade 2", "Flight Sim 2024", 'Avowed", their pipeline looks fairly busy to me.

Funny that Mark Cerny originally described the Tempest 3D Audio Engine as vastly more capable than other technologies on the market, and specifically, how it could handle much more than the small count of 32 objects at a time that Dolby Atmos could.

Dolby Atmos took exception to this and responded:

"It is not correct that Dolby Atmos handles 32 objects maximum. As a technology, Dolby Atmos can support hundreds of objects simultaneously. Having said that, we refer to some advice from game developers who have already created content with Atmos support: objects are fantastic tools, but you should use them sparingly as regards their number in activity within the same scene. Too many moving objects can create a confusing sound environment."

18 reviews vs nearly 150 for Zelda, that's no comparison.

@PsBoxSwitchOwner Dosen't need to go on sale on Xbox, you can still buy it for less than £8 as Microsoft allow you to buy Full Digital games from 3rd parties.
