Re: Sony's New PS5, PC Shooter Concord Confirmed as a $40 Game

Hahaha anything more than 0 is too much. What a joke, expect you to pay to win, loot boxes, DLC probably, and charge for the game. I hope this flops hard.
Sony have lost the plot, they truly have. Ditch the woke stuff, ditch this studio behind Concord for sure who described those complaining of the robots with pronouns as ‘white noise’.

Re: Fallout 4 PS5 Next-Gen Update Now Unlocked for PS Plus Owners

@Shigurui Yes I get that now, but the way it was worded before implied if you had the PS4 copy of the game and purchased the season pass, you would get a free upgrade to the PS5 version. As it stands I have the PSN Plus PS5 version, nothing to do with the Season Pass. Whole things a total mess with misinformation on sites including this one IMO.

Re: Fallout 4 PS5 Next-Gen Update Now Unlocked for PS Plus Owners

I've really struggled to get this update. I have my PS4 copy of Fallout 4 installed and purchased the season pass, but I still am not offered to update it. Sure I installed the PSN PS5 version but then I had two copies of the game installed rather then my PS4
Install being updated. This is one area where Xbox does MUCH better at. Sony needs to try harder.

Re: Xbox's 'Everywhere' Future Outlined in Company Memo from Phil Spencer

@GeeEssEff During their interview yesterday, I picked up the language as being they are not making enough money. Tens of billions invested in the department and it's not generating anywhere near enough income. They will be making some big changes I think this year but we shall see. They need to generate profit and quick. Share holders patience only goes so far. Sony found that out this week.

Re: Xbox Is Bringing Four Exclusives to PS5, But It Won't Say Which

@cburg We shall see, Xbox don't announce console sales, because they are so low. Time will tell of Sony's reduced sales predictions are correct, however Sony I don't think are in trouble, they aren't spending several hundred million each quarter to put a single game day and date on their subscription platform. Plus a new Nintendo console coming out will impact their market and Xbox too.

@get2sammyb If you pay very close attention to the ‘fluff’ everyone’s ignored, they suggest they are in a bit of trouble, haven’t grown, laid off staff, finances not growing. So don’t be surprised to see some big name games come across, or Game Pass appear on Nintendos new console. I think they will also increase advertising and change Game Pass pricing and content across different levels. They were also nervous during the interview.

They said plenty.

Re: Xbox's Multiplatform Plans to Be Revealed on Thursday

@TheLotteryMan1 You know what, I thought Ryan was talking out of his ass when he questioned the Game Pass model, and why he would not follow it, then I found out Microsoft are paying up to 300 million for some of the big AAA games on it, and I saw those subscriber numbers plateau and I saw where Ryan was coming from after all.

Re: Hackers Breach Insomniac Games, Marvel's Wolverine Details and Employee Data Up for Ransom

S1ayeR74

@RawnDawn Because politicians will request they are found and dealt with, and they CAN be found, Sony couldn’t give two craps about hackers and never has, two massive hacks and customer and employee data being stolen should tell you that. No system is impenetrable but Sonys seem very weak on security, and they don’t prosecute anyone and prefer to settle anything out of court. And thus they become an easy target.

Re: Court Rules £5 Billion Lawsuit Against Sony Can Go Ahead, Following Years of 'Excessive' PS Store Prices

S1ayeR74

Lots of lovely fluffy pro consumer words, but really the agenda behind all that is this lawyer wants to make millions for herself and has seen a loophole way to do it. This type if trial is only worth anything if the same ruling is then applied to every other store front taking a 30% cut, which as we know is pretty much every big name store. Not sure how much Valve takes though from Steam sales?

Re: Sony Takes Control of UK as PS5 Climbs to 51% Market Share

S1ayeR74

@Grumblevolcano Yeap and that will impact the quality, they can't keep spending 200 million per AAA game they put on the service, which is what they are currently doing, Ryan was right when he said it wasn't a sustainable model. Even MS has limits on how much it'll keep spending, it needs a return on the investment and that will mean more price hikes, a LOT more advertising on the Xbox platform you can't get rid of, and a harsh push for subscriber growth, I think in 2025 they will start making Xbox exclusives Game Pass only exclusive. Like State Of Decay 3 and Perfect Dark, we shall see though.

Re: Sony Takes Control of UK as PS5 Climbs to 51% Market Share

S1ayeR74

@MrMagic Yeap it is, I sold my Series X though due to the ads being forced on you on it, all to pay for that Game Pass, not for me. Put the money towards new PS5 disk which I got for £380 from John Lewis, I know someone who works for Waitrose so they get 12% off, and that was on top of the special price promo on the EA football bundle JL we’re running. They had the COD MW3 pack for £410 the other day, Xbox can’t compete with that.

Re: GTA 6 Reveal Trailer Debuts in Early December, Rockstar Says

S1ayeR74

This guarantees will premiere at the Game Awards in early December then, it’ll just be more of the same anyway though won’t it? And still sell millions and millions and millions of copy’s like COD does.
I wonder if they’ve toned the game down at all for the current world, I hope not, I hope they’ve made it even more gritty!

Re: It Sounds Like PS5 Is Handily Outselling Its New-Gen Rival in France

S1ayeR74

Just more evidence I think of MS ditching consoles all together in 2 gens maybe. They solely rely on services and most likely make games Game Pass exclusive too, so you won’t be able to buy them but have to subscribe to own them.
Meanwhile PlayStation will still be selling great hardware and making great games and hold a dominant market share.
