It’s always funny to read the comments on purexbox. Second comment immediately calling laying off people a typical Sony thing to do😂
OT: shame for the guys and girls who lost their jobs. But as people mentioned when M&A happens the new owner will look into cutting costs. Mostly these are supporting roles such as HR or Finance
PS5: God of War: Ragnarok Valhalla —> Fantastic game really missed Mimir (smartest man alive)
PSVR2: Gran Turismo 7, VR really elevated this game for me. This in combination with my wheel and pedals and you’ve got an awesome experience
Now with Christmas looking whether to buy Resident evil 4 (mainly for VR),Spider-Man 2, Arizona sunshine 2, Bulders gate 3 or Alan Wake 2 (never bought the first one).. I know what a list (will definitely buy Blood & Wine expansion for Witcher 3).
@Constable_What Hear Hear. PlayStation owner since PS1… Even got the PSP and Vita (really still pissed about how they treated the Vita).
I blame Ryan (thank god he is gone) and Herman Hulst (as fellow Dutchy I am ashamed. What a turd… Wish Phil Spencer was the head of studios instead of him). Guerilla is also transformed in a Horizon studio, while Killzone was a excellent franchise..
I said it last week Sony is currently only busy with releasing remasters or porting games to PC. I generally despise PC gaming (I don’t understand the port beggars on here as PC gaming sucks… years ago I was into pc gaming but most releases are borderline unplayable / toxic community) but it seems that after this generation I need to build a gaming pc… Good job Sony for making console gamers feeling like second class (if you don’t know what I mean look at Horizon complete edition)
Really Sony…. These guys are doing a heck of a job convincing me to not buy a PS6.
All these guys can do is announce PC ports, remasters or complete editions. Instead of giving us new announcements of new games…. This generation really sucks
Example today is the TLOU day or outbreak day. Yet nothing about Factions or any new games. It’s all about the merchandise or giving late adopters /PC gamers far better value propositions.
@DellMibbler To be fair almost every big outlet was positive about firewall ultra. The red flag for me and the reason it did not buy this game was that the reviews came after the game launched.
@Neither_scene To write off PSVR2 purely on Firewall is idiotic. Image quality depends on the type of game. Moss 1 and GT 7 look stunning while RE:village for me is very blurry. When a new astrobot launches you will miss out a great game (also the walking dead games seem to be very good but can be played on other VR devices).
EDIT: if you played Horizon call of the mountain then I can fully agree with motion sickness. Something with that game totally ruins my stomick.
@Olmaz Well, these guys are funded by the EU (Therefore indirectly I am paying taxes for this train wreck of a game), which means even if they bomb the costs are covered.
Sony please just buy Capcom or Square Enix. I don’t care about Activision Blizzard 🙏. These companies will help Sony in creating additional RPG’s, as Microsoft has Bethesda and obsidian entertainment (really dislike that MS owns OE…Playing South Park SoT and those guys made a wonderful game xD) and thus having the whole western RPG market.
@UltimateOtaku91 COVID started in 2020 (in the Netherlands). Games like GT7 and GOW were released in 2022. With Sony taking so long to develop any game the plan to release these games on PS4 was surely made before COVID hit. But we agree to disagree right?
@Neverwild @UltimateOtaku91 Microsoft is very upfront about it. You can expect that everything is pc.
We believe in generations was also said by Jim Ryan. Than he did a reverse and almost all PS5 exclusives were also on PS4 (and now most PS5 exclusives are on PC 😅).
@Jacko11 The reason we are crying is because Playstation isn’t currently really investing in new PS5 exclusives. Every announcement except Spider-Man is also PC. In addition, we all believed the marketing from super SSD speed not being possible any where else (the rifts). I think the outrage from a part of the PS community including me is that the showcase was a total disappointment (leadership is also really out of touch)
Edit: for me also the lack of communication regarding PSVR2 games is really hurting the image of Sony/PlayStation. The dislike I have for current leadership is also pushing me to the other side for next generation (team Green for all third party, the exclusives for next PS and ofcourse Team N for their exclusives… but primary console for third party will definitely be team green)
@OrtadragoonX Never played Starcraft to be honest. The game always seem to be a lot of micro management while command and conquer seem to be more accessible (I know heresy 😓)
Hmm makes sense…. Never played something from Bungie as every game after halo was Destiny right? Always felt like a game you can only play while neglecting the remainder of your game collection. Same reason why I never played fortnite or Apex Legends.
I do however played all naughty dog games… maybe Sony is not interested in people like me as I’m no person who purchases additional skins etc.
@Intr1n5ic @NEStalgia Leave NEStalgia alone. We need people like him who criticise Sony. Let’s face it Sony from the PS3/PS4 era is gone. Jim Ryan and Hermen only care about that sweet GAAS money. This is illustrated by Jim’s passion to block the takeover of AB. He only cares about the royalties they receive thanks to Call of duty Battle Royale (sorry I don’t know what the battle royale name is..).
Pfff I don’t know how I feel about this. I really liked the Last of Us Part 2. I also liked the idea of factions but with story elements. Shame that Sony is listening to Bungie…. The moment I saw every couple of months a new expansion was the moment I decided to never purchase/play any destiny as it’s a timesink.
Off topic: I miss the days when expansions were like new games. I remember Command and Conquer tiberian sun :firestorm very fondly… Shame Westwood died for the same reasons a lot of first party studio’s died… one mistake (Evolution studios, Zipper)
Winner: 1. Final fantasy as the release date is near my birthday. 2. Spider-Man 2: I loved the first one and MM expansion. Really digging that Peter is influenced by the symbiote!
Loser:
PSVR2 although I’m really exited for Arizona,RE 4 remake and beat saber (will buy it as my wife loves rhytm games).
PlayStation studios: how does it feel that Imsomniac is literally PlayStations Atlas. The other studio’s should have a good look at insomniac (Spider-Man remastered, Spider-Man miles morales, ratchet and clank a rift apart and now Spider-Man 2)
@TheCollector316 Maybe Sony needed to wait before revealing this super bland CGI trailer which felt like a Ubisoft GAAS games (only game that has succeeded is Rainbow six siege for Ubisoft)

Also PSVR2 exclusives?

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 509
PSVR2: GT7 and Resident evil Village. Village starts really slow but after that it really opens up.
Switch: Mario party with the misses. Next weeks maybe not a lot of gaming since I’m becoming a dad again😊

Re: Insomniac Confirms Primary Marvel's Spider-Man Moving Forward
@Ryu_Niiyama I wonder should the Witcher series also follow the books? Or should that be changed because it’s missing D&I?
EDIT: They changed it on Netflix as you may know. Henry Cavill had a lot of discussions with the writers because of this.

Yet to buy Spider-Man 2 but I will promise one thing. I won’t by Spider-Man 3 if they got further with this Netflix direction.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 492

I want to buy either Saints or Sinners or the light brigade. Which do you recommend?

Re: Looks Like You Should Expect More Astro Bot on PS5
Please a follow up to their VR game. I am playing moss right now and I really dig these type of VR games
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 491
Really looking forward to Firewall Ultra but that there is no review while the game is already out is a really big red flag.

PS5/PSVR2: GT7 maybe. Depends how I feel have been sick for the whole week.
Switch: Zelda BOTW. I think I will play this as it’s much more relaxing than VR.
Also note to self to not forget to buy beat saber.
