My favourite game of last year. Beautiful to look at, great fun combat, interesting story and some memorable side missions. The trophy system always surprises me. On WRC9 the only 7.9% have driven more than 500km which you'd do in your second season. Only 11.3% have reached level 20 which doesn't take too long either.
@Vyns it will be very interesting to see the quality of the games from all these studios they've bought, not just Bethesda. One thing I will say with Sony is that their games don't release until they are ready(mostly 🙂). Whereas MS have to start delivering games and regulary at some point to keep gamepass the great value it is. Also your other post, ive never paid £12 a month for gamepass, always get deals from different retailers online. And they are probably counting the people who do the £1 offer. Be interesting to know the amount that are subscribing monthly.
The last game of theirs I really enjoyed was Wolfenstein New Order, but the series has gone down hill since then. I have both systems, and 20 of their games dropped on gamepass yesterday and I haven't installed a single one. I believe this is a blow to Sony, but we have yet to see the quality of all these studios under MS. Are they given time to breath or forced out to keep gamepass relevant. Time will tell. I'm still very excited for the games Sony has coming out for the PS5. Plus i think a lot of people don't realise that they are trying to have the gamepass app on new TVs by the end of this year. As the streaming quality gets better, all you'll need is a controller, app on your TV and an active subscription and you'll be away. MS don't care if you have their box under your TV, they just want your subscription.
I think the worst thing Sony could do is go out and start panic buying studios, making them look desperate. Yes I wish they were more open about the state of the PS5 and the games going forward. But as things stand right now, they have a great machine that they can't make fast enough to supply demand, some standout games coming in the next 12 months and a loyal following created by making some of the best games of the last 10 years. Yes buying Bethesda is a big move by MS, but they have still to show they can make GOTY games, quality games that push gaming forward. Their problem is they need to keep putting a constant flow of new games on gamepass to keep it relevant, will it become quantity over quality? Will they give the developers at these studios the time they need. Only time will tell. I think it will be good for Sony in the long run, they need a strong competitor to keep them honest. Oh and for me personally, I love my PS5. Playing games with the dualsense makes playing games on my xbox seem flat. The dualsense is definitely not a gimmick. And with PSplus lately, I think Sony are doing just fine.
@Ken_Kaniff we can only hope that at some point regulators will step in and stop MS getting a monopoly. Will also be interesting to see the quality of the games they put out, as to keep gamepass attractive they need to keep putting new games on constantly. Quantity over quality wouldn't be good. I know this deal takes away some potentially great games from PS, but I don't think it's the end of the world. Now if they bought ea and took all the sports titles away, or Activision and made COD exclusive then that would be a game changer.
@Ken_Kaniff oh and microsoft had to buy these studios because they were so far behind. Last gen until gamepass it was a disaster for them. I hope they don't buy too many more because one company owning all the best studios would be bad for all us gamers.
@Ken_Kaniff I know a lot of gamers that just want a box under the TV, they have no interest in having a PC and all that comes with that. Consoles sell because they are simple. You really think Sony didn't look into it and decide it wouldn't hurt the brand? I don't care if some PC gamer is playing a game I beat 2 years ago that's on psplus now. And yes it could be bad for the industry as a whole if MS keep buying game developers, but they have a massive bank account to do that, Sony do not. The worst thing Sony could do right now is try and buy lots of studios and look like they are panicking. They have a great machine and massive Ip's with a proven track record. MS have still got to show what they can do with all these studios(and I say this as an xbox owner). Competition is going to get fierce, but I'd rather have Sony's studios with the games they're put out these last few years than Microsofts.
@Ken_Kaniff Sony is porting their old games that don't generate much income anymore into a massive player base! Great financial business sense. Also puts the PlayStation brand out there. I should imagine the average console user doesn't want a gaming pc, so this won't effect them. Plus a lot of people won't want to wait 2 years to play the next GOW or HZD2. Yes MS buying Bethesda is a big power move, but it's hardly the end of the world. Just gives Sony even greater competition and will push them harder.
@Deanster101 you'll have great fun with the Pro, it's a brilliant machine. Plenty of amazing games to play. But for me the PS5 is more than just a bit faster and prettier. The biggest thing it brings is the dualsense, just adds so much to games. Playing WR9 you know when you have engine damage because the right trigger changes. Going over loose gravel you can feel it hitting the car. COD with the different feeling weapons, Fifa you can tell when a player is tired just by the trigger. Other games you can feel the footsteps when your characters walk. I really didn't like the dualshock 4, much preferred the xbox one controller but Sony knocked it out of the park with this one. I also have a series x but I'm buying all the 3rd party games on the ps5 because of the dualsense. And playing spiderman MM at 60fps with RT never gets old. Control is loads better than when I played it on my Pro. And with returnal, deathloop and R&C around the corner I have no regrets about being an early adopter.
@Ponykiller01 they'll only be "tears" if microsoft actually start delivering great games again. Will be interesting to see the quality Bethesda puts out in the next few years, whether MS actually makes a difference and gets them back to where they were 10 years ago. I hope they get the time needed to produce great games and not just game fodder to keep gamepass relevant. Oh and I say this as someone who owns both machines.
@LordSteev yes your correct on Doom, which shows that they themselves haven't made a great game in a while. I think fallout 76 showed which direction they wanted to head in but that back fired. Hopefully they do put all their talents into starfield and get back to where they were.
@LordSteev I would agree that Bethesda were one of the great studios, made brilliant games that other developers could only wish for. But personally apart from Doom, their output over the last few years has been very poor. Whether they can get back to their best with MS in charge remains to be seen, I hope they do. I think we'll know when Starfield drops.
@GREGORIAN I didn't mention the 2 second game. My thoughts are on the first game only. Yes Ellie is a strong and capable child, but the fireflies didn't give her the choice. Didn't speak to her, give her a chance to do what she wanted. No they were just going to murder her in cold blood. They were the bad guys and Joel had every reason to do what he did. And who cares what sexuality a person is? That's got nothing to do with the story. Bad writing is bad writing. They wrote a very weak story trying to justify their agenda and the main stream media lapped it up. But IGN Japan said it best "its a story about right and wrong told by people who always think their right". And you bringing up race just shows where your head is at.
@IonMagus most of those games have no dates or even years. And yes I'm looking forward to playing them when they do come out. But Sony will have more games coming too I'm sure. They know they need to keep the momentum up, PlayStation is their biggest cash cow. At the end of the day none of us know what the future holds, whether this deal changes things or not. I'm sure both billion dollar companies will be fine.
@IonMagus Switch came out 4 years ago and the ps4 carried on selling extremely well, Nintendos great exclusives didn't change that. And yes MS have bought lots of studios, but what have got to show for that? They are probably years away from any big releases, and they still have to show the quality when they do! And the back compat angle means nothing to me, I didn't buy a ps5 and series x to play old games, I want new experiences. The whole back compat line is smoke and mirrors from MS because they had no new games for the systems at launch. In the next year Sony have ratchet and clank, hzd2, GOW and gt7. Plus other great looking exclusives. If you really think they don't stand up against the others then maybe your on the wrong site. And I have a feeling psvr2 could be something special that the others don't offer.
@IonMagus during last gen when Sony we're very strong and sold 116 million ps4s I don't remember too many people saying Sony need to buy more studios, they just have so few of them!!!! MS needed this acquisition to make their brand stronger, to make gamepass stronger. Whether they turn out system seller after system seller remains to be seen. Sony will just keep doing what they're doing and people can vote with their wallets.
@Ashkorsair I think they'll make nearly all of them exclusive, makes their ecosystem a stronger brand. But they might say "look at these games that come free with gamepass day one, or you can buy them for £70 on PlayStation". They win either way. But Sony will be fine either way I'm sure. Going to be an interesting few years for gamers.
@IonMagus like I said, MS need to have a constant flow of games to get people signed up to gamepass and keep them there. Let's see what the quality is like. Doesn't matter if they have 20 or a 100 studios. Like someone else said, Sony just doesn't have MS's money, they need to be careful. At the moment they are leading MS, selling more consoles and in a good position. If that changes they they'll have to adapt, time will tell.
@IonMagus Sony have always said they like to grow their studios organically. Most of the studios are making more than one game. They seem to have quite a lot in the pipeline that I'm looking forward to. It's obviously a different approach to MS, who from the start have just bought studios (bungie and halo) to help their system. Time will tell who has the right approach. But MS haven't launched a killer title in years (in my opinion) and with Gamepass they need to keep the content coming. Will be interesting to see the quality of the games their studios are making over the next few years. And I say this as an owner of both systems.
@djlard they will always make certain games VR only, one because the experience wouldn't be the same on a screen(reason the half life Alex developers stuck to their guns when people wanted to play it without vr), and two so they sell the hardware. If every game was playable without it then most people would not bother. VR needs killer titles to succeed. And from what we've read, they want very high visuals, bigger FOV then any competitor and maybe haptic feedback in the headset itself, that means a cable. As someone who has a PC setup with one cable I'm fine with that, doesn't effect my playtime and I don't have to keep charging it. And it can be lighter with other tech inside. I'm really excited to see what Sony can do with the power of the ps5.
I believe the one cable is the way to go. Only way your going to get high visuals, a bigger field of view and take advantage of the ps5's power. I have a PC vr set up and playing project cars 2 in vr just makes flat screen racing seem so boring. Elite Dangerous is just amazing and Arizona Sunshine was so good I couldn't get my wife off it. I believe if Sony get this right, and the controllers have the dual sense(my favourite controller ever) features, maybe even the headset has some too, with the right launch games they could take VR to the next level.
This is really nice to read about. They did a brilliant job with the game and I'm sure when all the restrictions are lifted tourism on the island will be great. My favourite game of 2020.
Looks decent visually, and they seem to have captured the atmosphere quite well. But not sure if it won't get very samey pretty quickly, unless they have some varied game dynamics in the campaign/gameplay.
@Matroska oh and he kills Marlene because he knows she'll just come after Ellie and she'll never be safe whilst the fireflies are looking for her. He ends it there.
@Matroska Joel lies to her at the end to spare her knowing the truth, because he loves her and doesn't want her to have to live with that knowledge. But if you look at the final scene again, you could argue from the look on her face that she knows he's lying to her, and she knows why he is doing it and she can live with that. And from my point of view he doesn't massacre anyone, he kills people that are about to murder an innocent child, they had it coming. But like I said before, it's just a computer game, people see things differently.
@GREGORIAN your funny. I think it's you that didn't understand the first game. It's a story about two people going through hell together, learning to trust each other, and finally loving each other. He's as much her father by the end of the game as her real dad, and if you think they are strangers by that point I feel sorry for you. And he does what he has to do to protect her, as a father should. You think he is a low life, I think he is just a man living in horrible times just trying to survive and doing what he has to do. Anyway it's only a game, everyone sees things differently.
@danlk1ng Of course he had to kill them, they were going to harvest he's "daughters " body for the slim chance they could make a cure. Forgive me if I get this wrong because it's been a few years since I played it, but didn't they knock him out. Didn't they leave him outside with nothing to defend himself with(Basically killing him) after telling him what was happening. Don't you see all the way through the game how infective the fireflys are? They are going to kill a child without her consent because maybe, and that's a massive maybe, they can make a cure! They are not innocent. Sorry but they are the bad guys to Joel, they are going to kill someone he loves. It's not his place to worry about everyone else, he worries about her. That's the beauty of the first game, it leaves it up to the player to decide if he did the right thing. Its called smart writing. And I can assure you, a hell of a lot of parents would do the same thing, if capable of doing so. I wouldn't hesitate.
@danlk1ng what atrocities at the end of the 1st game? Joel did what most parents would do, myself included! I'm sure that the gameplay and graphics are amazing in the sequel, they certainly look it. But I have no interest in playing that storyline so I cancelled my preorder, plenty of other games to play.
Day one for me, just think this game looks amazing for a smaller studio and i want to support them. Bit baffled by it being digital only though, this game seems to have more hype and attention than some of the bigger games and should have great sales. Would prefer a physical copy but will get it digitally if I have to.
Game looks great and I intend to get it day one. I have no problem with price increases as they cost a lot more to produce now, but it should be level across the board. £70 is the same as $97, that's a big difference we all get the same game, same experience, should be the same price wherever you are.
Like some others, for the most part it didn't show anything new and I'm wondering why they even put this on. How many times can you keep watching videos of the same games. Yeah Kena looks great, I'll get returnal and deathloop but I don't need to keep seeing them. To me they should just post the videos online in the months before release and leave the state of plays for big announcements.
@LordSteev yeah the last few months have been very good. I reckon they might have some nice surprises for the March psplus games on tonight's state of play.
@LordSteev apparently if you use the app or go on the website you can claim the PS5 versions of games and the PS5 games like destruction all-stars. They'll be linked to your ps plus account and then when you do get a PS5 you'll be able to play them.
Loved the game 2 years ago, great story and characters and loved the hordes. Had my fun, don't care if PC gamers get to play it now. More money for Sony to continue making brilliant games and it advertises the Sony brand to millions of PC players! Makes excellent business sense to me. As long as they don't go day and date my box under my TV doesn't get undervalued. Would much rather play the games when they are released than have to wait two years and play them with a few extra bells and whistles.
I believe they'll keep nearly all of them exclusively to xbox. Makes more sense long term for gamepass. I have both systems so not bothered, but I'm also not a fan of Bethesda anymore, as the quality has definitely been going down. I do wonder at Microsofts future quality as well, they need to fill gamepass with a constant influx of new games, to keep the value going. I worry its going to be quantity over quality as them seem to be aiming for the casual gamers. They want people on gamepass, they're not bothered if it's a xbox die hard or the phone user who plays a couple of games.

Re: Over Half of Players Completed Ghost of Tsushima's Campaign
My favourite game of last year. Beautiful to look at, great fun combat, interesting story and some memorable side missions.
The trophy system always surprises me. On WRC9 the only 7.9% have driven more than 500km which you'd do in your second season. Only 11.3% have reached level 20 which doesn't take too long either.
Re: Poll: Which Bethesda Franchise Will PS5 Miss the Most?
@Vyns it will be very interesting to see the quality of the games from all these studios they've bought, not just Bethesda. One thing I will say with Sony is that their games don't release until they are ready(mostly 🙂). Whereas MS have to start delivering games and regulary at some point to keep gamepass the great value it is.
Also your other post, ive never paid £12 a month for gamepass, always get deals from different retailers online. And they are probably counting the people who do the £1 offer. Be interesting to know the amount that are subscribing monthly.
Re: Poll: Which Bethesda Franchise Will PS5 Miss the Most?
The last game of theirs I really enjoyed was Wolfenstein New Order, but the series has gone down hill since then. I have both systems, and 20 of their games dropped on gamepass yesterday and I haven't installed a single one. I believe this is a blow to Sony, but we have yet to see the quality of all these studios under MS. Are they given time to breath or forced out to keep gamepass relevant. Time will tell. I'm still very excited for the games Sony has coming out for the PS5.
Plus i think a lot of people don't realise that they are trying to have the gamepass app on new TVs by the end of this year.

Re: Reaction: What Next for PlayStation?
I think the worst thing Sony could do is go out and start panic buying studios, making them look desperate. Yes I wish they were more open about the state of the PS5 and the games going forward. But as things stand right now, they have a great machine that they can't make fast enough to supply demand, some standout games coming in the next 12 months and a loyal following created by making some of the best games of the last 10 years. Yes buying Bethesda is a big move by MS, but they have still to show they can make GOTY games, quality games that push gaming forward. Their problem is they need to keep putting a constant flow of new games on gamepass to keep it relevant, will it become quantity over quality? Will they give the developers at these studios the time they need. Only time will tell. I think it will be good for Sony in the long run, they need a strong competitor to keep them honest.
Oh and for me personally, I love my PS5. Playing games with the dualsense makes playing games on my xbox seem flat. The dualsense is definitely not a gimmick. And with PSplus lately, I think Sony are doing just fine.

@GREGORIAN your funny. I think it's you that didn't understand the first game. It's a story about two people going through hell together, learning to trust each other, and finally loving each other. He's as much her father by the end of the game as her real dad, and if you think they are strangers by that point I feel sorry for you. And he does what he has to do to protect her, as a father should. You think he is a low life, I think he is just a man living in horrible times just trying to survive and doing what he has to do. Anyway it's only a game, everyone sees things differently.

@TheDudeElDuderino I completely agree.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Spider-Man: Miles Morales and The Last of Us 2 Enjoy Huge Sales Spikes
@danlk1ng Of course he had to kill them, they were going to harvest he's "daughters " body for the slim chance they could make a cure. Forgive me if I get this wrong because it's been a few years since I played it, but didn't they knock him out. Didn't they leave him outside with nothing to defend himself with(Basically killing him) after telling him what was happening. Don't you see all the way through the game how infective the fireflys are? They are going to kill a child without her consent because maybe, and that's a massive maybe, they can make a cure! They are not innocent. Sorry but they are the bad guys to Joel, they are going to kill someone he loves. It's not his place to worry about everyone else, he worries about her. That's the beauty of the first game, it leaves it up to the player to decide if he did the right thing. Its called smart writing. And I can assure you, a hell of a lot of parents would do the same thing, if capable of doing so. I wouldn't hesitate.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Spider-Man: Miles Morales and The Last of Us 2 Enjoy Huge Sales Spikes
@danlk1ng what atrocities at the end of the 1st game? Joel did what most parents would do, myself included! I'm sure that the gameplay and graphics are amazing in the sequel, they certainly look it. But I have no interest in playing that storyline so I cancelled my preorder, plenty of other games to play.
Re: Worry No Longer, Kena: Bridge of Spirits Is a $40 Game
Day one for me, just think this game looks amazing for a smaller studio and i want to support them. Bit baffled by it being digital only though, this game seems to have more hype and attention than some of the bigger games and should have great sales. Would prefer a physical copy but will get it digitally if I have to.
Re: Interview: Returnal PS5 Developer Housemarque Talks Story, Replayability, and Value
Game looks great and I intend to get it day one. I have no problem with price increases as they cost a lot more to produce now, but it should be level across the board. £70 is the same as $97, that's a big difference we all get the same game, same experience, should be the same price wherever you are.
Re: Talking Point: Did Sony's State of Play Livestream Meet Your Expectations?
Like some others, for the most part it didn't show anything new and I'm wondering why they even put this on. How many times can you keep watching videos of the same games. Yeah Kena looks great, I'll get returnal and deathloop but I don't need to keep seeing them. To me they should just post the videos online in the months before release and leave the state of plays for big announcements.
Re: Outriders PS5, PS4 Demo Available to Download Now
@LordSteev yeah the last few months have been very good. I reckon they might have some nice surprises for the March psplus games on tonight's state of play.
Re: Outriders PS5, PS4 Demo Available to Download Now
@LordSteev apparently if you use the app or go on the website you can claim the PS5 versions of games and the PS5 games like destruction all-stars. They'll be linked to your ps plus account and then when you do get a PS5 you'll be able to play them.
Re: Days Gone PC Packs Ultra-Wide Monitor Support, Improved Visuals, More
Loved the game 2 years ago, great story and characters and loved the hordes. Had my fun, don't care if PC gamers get to play it now. More money for Sony to continue making brilliant games and it advertises the Sony brand to millions of PC players! Makes excellent business sense to me. As long as they don't go day and date my box under my TV doesn't get undervalued. Would much rather play the games when they are released than have to wait two years and play them with a few extra bells and whistles.
Re: We May Learn What the Future Holds for Bethesda Next Month
I believe they'll keep nearly all of them exclusively to xbox. Makes more sense long term for gamepass. I have both systems so not bothered, but I'm also not a fan of Bethesda anymore, as the quality has definitely been going down. I do wonder at Microsofts future quality as well, they need to fill gamepass with a constant influx of new games, to keep the value going. I worry its going to be quantity over quality as them seem to be aiming for the casual gamers. They want people on gamepass, they're not bothered if it's a xbox die hard or the phone user who plays a couple of games.
