@jimbouk the article is discussing Sonys internal studios and the issues they are having, which is what my comment related to. Wolverine is the only Sony developed game you listed, which was my whole point lol

What does team ninja or kojima productions have to do with anything about the article

@jimbouk the only one of them that is made by Sony is Wolverine. The article is discussing Sonys first party studios. You kind of made my point for me thanks lol

This perfectly explains the radio silence and poor showcases for the last couple of years.

It's what alot of us had feared, that they are not holding everything back or saving stuff for after the ABK deal closes, they just have nothing to show and only live service garbage in the pipeline

Even if they change direction now, it will be years and years until we see the fruits of their labour.

everyone at the studio is "being pressured to keep the news quiet"

Stay classy San Diego

If this thing supported streaming services I would buy one. Until it does it just feels very limited

@GamingFan4Lyf it's pretty funny

I predicted the moment it was announced Aspyr were developing it, this would be a disaster. I tried to warn people. Never understood why anyone was hyped, after that announcement. The ports they have done have been truly awful

@DeathlySW I got the same vibe from the trailer if I was honest

As a fellow Newcastle United fan all I have to say is well played Jim. Agree or not with their current trajectory, you cant deny his sucess as a ceo.

@Deityjester I agree. But it doesn't look like they are going to change it, as its been like it all day. I guess engagement is more important than integrity

@Stamnoso nowhere does it say anything remotely like Playstation saved FO76, even in the original article from Thegamer. If anything the headline should read "Fallout 76 was nearly canned" or something similar, as that is the truth, just like Thegamer used.

Judging by the comments above, they succeeded in fanning the flames once again (and i guess alot of people didnt read the article properly or check the sources.)

I just expected alot better from Pushsquare, but I have noticed them starting to do this more and more recently, and I am not a fan of misinformation. Its another reason why the comment sections are getting worse and worse, as the content is actively encouraging it.

I understand Playstation leaning opinions on a Playstation centric website, but passing this off as News, with the fabricated fanboy headline, is pretty bad and deserved calling out. Glad to know I am far from the only one to see through it

I can't help but feel the title is a bit misleading and hyperbole after reading the email in the article

It says "ps now can help support the game gaining relevance" not that ps now saved the game. Infact nowhere in the email does it say that..so I'm not sure where you got the headline from, at all

The title of the original article you linked on thegamer seems way more accurate "Phil Spencer Considered Ditching Fallout 76" infact they never mention PlayStation saving the game at all in the original article...

Are you just trying to fan the flames for engagement? Not a very Good look

Its almost everything I hate about modern gaming to be honest

@MrMagic
"Should the deal finally close, cloud streaming rights to existing and future Activision Blizzard games released over the next 15 years will (surprisingly) fall under Ubisoft’s control. Those rights will then stay with Ubisoft “in perpetuity.”

The in perpetuity bit means they will always have the rights for those 15years worth of games, not that the deal lasts longer than 15years. It just means they don't lose the rights to those games after 15years.

But after 15years, the streaming rights for new games not in the 15 year agreement go to Microsoft and any other games in the future

@CielloArc one to check the new remedies, one for the final decision, as mentioned in the article. The leak was irrelevant to this decision as the CMA will already have had acceess to all the information from the leak for months and months

Microsoft dont need to buy Ubisoft.

They get the streaming rights back automatically in 15years for free. The Ubisoft deal is only for 15years not forever

First one was awesome, some of the best magic I have ever used in a game. The dlc was good aswell

Wo Long was easily one of my favourite games of the year. Enjoyed every minute of it, but I have not started any of the DLCs yet

Wealth and Ishin I will give a go on gamepass. Only game I played prior is Judgement

@Nem you are absolutely clueless. Blocked

@Nem I give up. It was a huge sucess, get over it lol

@Nem GSD provide the sales data for Europe each and every month, they are the official sales figures. Why is this so difficult for you. This is not a new thing lol

The game was a huge sucess, who cares? We should all be supporting the games industry

@Nem i didn't make the game, so im not sure why i would be impressed.

I was just correcting your false information with some facts. They are not my numbers, they are the official sales numbers for Europe from GSD. You are the one spinning false narratives that are easily disproven with just the most basic Google search.

The sales data was widely reported if you would prefer a different website to prove you are incorrect? I dunno why anyone would try to argue official sales data but here we are lol

@Nem the link I provided includes Steam sales, and it was the biggest new IP launch of the year and the 5th best selling launch of the year. The complete opposite of what you are trying to say lol

So you don't believe official sales data. Because it doesn't suit your false narrative? Weird

@Nem they tell you where the data comes from at the bottom of the article. Its the official sales data for Europe from GSD. It includes physical and digital and there is nothing more reliable or accurate for Europe. It had a huge launch, that's what the data proves, nothing like the picture you tried to paint

"GSD digital data includes games from participating companies sold via Steam, Xbox Live, PlayStation Network, Nintendo Eshop. Major participating companies are Activision Blizzard, Bandai Namco, Capcom, Codemasters, Electronic Arts, Embracer Group (including Gearbox, Koch Media, Sabre Interactive), Focus Entertainment, Konami, Marvellous Games, Microids, Microsoft (including Bethesda), Milestone, Nacon, Paradox Interactive, Quantic Dream, Sega, Sony, Square Enix, Take-Two, Ubisoft and Warner Bros. Nintendo and 505 Games are the notable absentees, alongside smaller studios."

It only doesn't include digital data if the title has an * next to it

Think you need to read it again lol

@Nem it's official sales data from GSD for Europe including physical and digital lol

@Nem no its official sales data from GSD. Try clicking the link lol

@Nem that's not accurate, at all. It was a huge sucess.

"The Xbox game, which is also on PC, became the fastest-selling new IP of the year, and the fifth fastest-selling game of the year overall. Its launch sales are ahead of Final Fantasy 16 and Resident Evil 4, but behind Hogwarts Legacy, Diablo IV, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor."

And that doesnt include gamepass numbers. It had a huge launch.

Bethesda also said it was their biggest ever launch, not smallest lol

I support console manufacturers buying other devs/publishers to help them compete or fill a gap in their portfolio. But I would draw the line here. Console manufacturers should not be allowed to purchase each other, and i doubt they would be allowed to by regulators, as it would be very bad for the industry. We need all 3 console manufacturers to be strong in the market. Competition is kind. Lucky this seems like just a nothing corporate email, and not something that will be happening in the near future, so that's a little reassuring

Gyro and better rumble would be cool, but please do not copy the triggers, they are awful!

I got the platinum for spiderman but could not bring myself to even finish miles as it was just more of the same and I got bored. Let's hope this one adds a bit more variety and isn't so "ubisoft"

@Marquez and that would be fine if the communication over the last 2 years had been better, but it hasn't been.

But FF7 continues to look good

It was a good show, FF7 looks good. But was anything noteworthy really announced? It was more updates to games we have seen before several times. It's what stopped the show being anything more than meh/good

We are still waiting for some kind of roadmap after no showcase last year, 2 SoP and a showcase this year. It's bizarre

I really wanted to see more of Ronin and Pragmata. They are my most hyped PS games

FF7 looks good. Didn't like the look of helldivers at all. Good show but missed some new announcements to elevate it a bit

I would be hyped if Team Ninja show Ronin. I hope the combat is epic and not dumbed down for a more casual leaning crowd

Ninja Gaiden Black and Ultima Online The Second Age

It was suprising to hear of drops to 20fps from 60fps and constant screen tearing at the bottom of the screen. Hopefully it's something that can be fixed by the time i play it, as that sounds pretty bad to be honest

I'm not sure this is a game for me, but I want to give it a try, so il be waiting 6-12months and picking it up in a sale. Hope everyone enjoys it

I am about 15hours in. The music is really awesome

Sea of Stars mainly. Just got my ship, so now I can sail around. The music is so good in this game

@TheCollector316 I dont agree, but respect your opinion

@Loamy I tried to re-read your reply to see if I got the wrong end of the stick, but could not confirm as they have all been edited alot. But if I did read it incorrectly, I would like to apoligize to you for my response

@Loamy it works in almost every other industry, so why not gaming. Its not as crazy as you think. You believe it will be worse, I believe it will be better. That's just how opinions work I'm afraid. But you seem to just want to belittle people who have a different opinion to yourself, good luck with that

@Loamy increased competition almost always leads to lower prices or less high prices. I believe the ABK deal will increased competition in the gaming industry, maybe even it out a little, and us as consumers across various platforms will benefit from that.

Nowhere am I shilling for one company, like you tried to imply by calling me a hypocrit. I am in support of the consumer

@Loamy the comment was about increased competition across the industry, which is desperately needed, not supporting one company over the other. Talk about insecure

Sony keep announcing record profits, and just keep milking their customers for everything they are worth. I stopped ps plus at the start of the year and I am glad I did.

And the usual corporate shills are here defending it like clockwork. They have no shame.

It's reasons like this why the ABK deal was needed. We need more competition across the industry, so we all win

I have completed 2 of the 3 mist trials and finally starting to enjoy it. The first 45mins of the game were really boring

I loved Ragnarok and 2018, got the Platinum on both. But playing as Atreus was easily the worst part of the 2 games. I really hope they do not make a stand alone Atreus game as hes just rubbish and not fun to.play as

@Max_the_German based on the onscreen button prompts, its running on a PC or Xbox
