Man, I freaking hate Sony right now.

This has been a disastrous PR month for Sony, I still don't have a PS5 but not gonna lie, I'm in the verge of becoming full PC gamer. They're abandoning everything that made playstation great, and focusing on blockbuster bullcrap, they dropped Kojima, they closed Japan Studios, the competition is way ahead with banger services and features... as a former PS fan Is really frustrating.

We should start a "PS3 has no games"-like campaign against PS5 to see if they come back on track. We need Shawn Layden back more than never.

Oh boy, here we go again...

Edit: And btw I wouldn't trust Jeff Grubb too much, he's a known Xbox fanboy, he assured Xbox live would be free, then Microsoft came with the intention of increasing the price raising a horde of furious people on social media earlier this year.

The inventory fixes on ME1 are much appreciated, I played on PS3 and I remember having a pain in the ass converting every obsolete item into omnigel, the cursor is slow, it doesn't have memory on the previous selection (which means you have to scroll back to were the trash items are) and you have to convert every item one by one. Other than that is profit, as my name suggest I will not think twice and will buy this trilogy for the second time. The game will run at 60fps even on base PS4 right?

As everyone prolly should know, Sony doesn't need E3 but E3 needs Sony. The biggest gaming event by views last year was Sony's "The future of Gaming" and this year will be the same, no brainer, obviously they'll keep the same approach with a stand alone event which is cheaper and they can choose their own schedule. Sony and the ESA are in bad terms so I don't expect them to return any time soon.

@Medic_Alert as I said we'll never know, but due the fact that PlayStation never directly publish games outside their platforms this doesn't rule out that the deal could also happen between Sony and MS.

@AdamNovice it's perfectly fine, the more criticism the more awareness they'll have of these stupid moves they're doing or letting do to they competitors.

@Medic_Alert remember that Sony never directly publish their games outside the PS ecosystem, so this doesn't mean Sony isn't getting paid, the deal with the MLB was only for the game to be available on more platforms, not on game pass. Either way we'll never know the details about this.

They gonna get a huge and we'll deserved backlash for this. How In the world is Sony/PlayStation allowing this??? It's a first party game! They could put it on PS+ or Now also, but they're giving away the game to the competition user base and making their users pay full price. I've never seen a more disrespectful movement by a videogame company against their user base before (maybe the nintendo ones).

I assume they have something on the sleeve to counter this, I suppose Microsoft payed big to Sony to make this happen so I'm hopping to see more non-MLB first party games at San Diego soon.

This game is good, but it boils my blood the fact that Square Enix didn't release a 60fps patch for the PS4 pro (they did it on xbox), I mean, is a PS2 game.

Is vanilaware an independent studio? Or is owned by atkins?

Actually never mind, I was gonna say "so Sony can buy them" but then I remembered Japan Studios.

I hope time proves me wrong but I think PlayStation will do nothing, Jim Ryan is a laid down guy who only thinks in his pocket and not in the brand's future. They closed Japan Studios because their games don't sell instead of taking more risk and giving the studio more money to make an AAA game that can compare to God of War, Uncharted or Horizon, and surely they won't invest billions in acquiring a big Bethesda-like publisher if they can't see a quick return in money. He only invest in things that can sell 10M+, all the ambition is gone, I hope Sony can see this and then proceeds to get rid of this guy, they need the vision of Kaz Hirai or Shawn Layden to come back.

Well that's interesting (regarding the update). This leaves open the possibility that Kojima Is still working with Sony.

Japan Studios is dying, I expect a closing announcement soon.

Why would you ask??? Ar you guys going to do something about it???

The only good answer to that poll is the last one.

This is huge news! Maybe this could lead to a closer collaboration between Fromsoftware and SIE and making Bloodborne 2 into reality, maybe even Demon's Souls 2??? Anyways, at least they're out of Microsoft's claws lol.

If Sony wants Japan Studios to become a big seller house like Insomniac, Naughty Dog or Santa Monica they must let the devs make big games: Final Fantasy, Metal Gear, Monster Hunter "level" games with huge marketing campaigns so the people can gain interest and buy them. They have been just a support studio for a long time: Bloodborne, Demon's Souls, Rougue Galaxy, Folklore, are games where they weren't the main developers, and Astrobot and Gravity Rush games are small titles.

No wonder why the big names are leaving, their talent is being wasted because the big budget is getting to America/Europe. Bloomberg was right and I hate to admit it.

Have you guys encountered any game breaking bugs???

If you want to retain your mental sanity don't go to the Last of Us Part 2 subreddit, it's the most pathetic place on the internet. I don't understand why such an amazing game receives so much hate.

Part of the reasons I chose to play on PlayStation since many years is because they had strong support by Western and Japanese games and devs. Now that seems to be a thing of the past, they're more focused on the Western market, just look at Kratos in Fortnite or the rumours of rapper Travis Scott directing a PlayStation game, it's disappointing, PlayStation need a new directive ASAP, we need Shawn Layden and Kaz Hirai equivalents in the wheel again, maybe Shuhei Yoshida.

@Crazybuttocks198 getting independent for creative freedom to being again a slave of another mayor company??? That doesn't make sense.

Despite critics Days Gone is a magnificent game, but these guys are not "Top Tier" developers, they will be missed but I think Sony can hire better personal for Bend Studios and Days Gone 2.

I think I'll wait for GG Strive 2 XxX hardcore plus

If I were Sony I would be making preparations to acquire Kadokawa Shinpen and kill two birds with one stone: expand the company's anime studio catalog and bring Fromsoftware to PlayStation Studios.

Jim Ryan is destroying all the good will Sony built with the PS4, they should fire his ass off and put Shawn Layden in the Wheel.

I'll take anyone but Microsoft into buying WB, seriously, F* Microsoft. Titanfall dev Respawn has been consistently good with their launches so that gives me hope they won't ruin Rocksteady.

I just hope they also remember to add proper Dualsense features compatibility, beyond the graphics I think this is the real game changer.

I would not be happy without Rocksteady games on PlayStation, fingers crossed for a multiplat publisher to make the buyout.

Also, people saying "but Sony took away Spiderman, why Microsoft can't have Batman?", hello? Microsoft took Hellblade, future Obsidian games and future Double Fine games ¿Why would you want third party studios to go exclusive? Let the multiplats alone, same goes for Sony.

My poor Aloy is going to be vandalized and objectified by the PC Virgin Race modding community just like the Resident Evil Remakes.

Such a horrible fate for an immaculate character.

@SaikoWaifu2003 attachment rates are an inaccurate metric to guess the real impact of exclusives in console sales, there are much more than 20% of PS4 users that buy console for it's exclusives but that attachment rate can't let you see the "big picture", for example, not everyone will buy every exclusive game, some people will rent those games, others will receive games as gifts, others will borrow games from a friend, others will buy used games, some people make game exchanges, others are still waiting for a price drop, also not everyone has the same tastes, I can like FIFA, Uncharted and Infamous, but the guy on my side can like cod, final fantasy, gravity Rush, Bloodborne, etc. In the end every person above chose PS4 directly or indirectly for it's exclusives and those number are not reflected on game sales.

People need to stop using the "attachment rate" argument, it's pointless, instead of comparing exclusive sales vs console sales it's better to compare number of people that have and play exclusives regularly vs console sales, but that info is harder to track I guess.

Source: trust me dude.

It's fake. Don't get me wrong, I can see BB coming to PC in some point but not in a million years will be announced in the spotlight of a PlayStation event.

Also, are you kidding??? Bloodborne remaster and not BB2??? WTF Sony/Fromsoftware????

#BlackControllerMatters

Leaving that aside, HYPE TO THE INFINITY AND BEYOND!!!

This year PSN has been more stable than Xbox Live, in fact a few days ago Xbox Live had connectivity problems, and I lost count on how many times the status account on Twitter had to apologise only this year.

It's only Microsoft with their usual FUD strategy. In fact, most of the PS5 fans are more interested in next gen games.

This reminds me Split Second and Motorstorm Apocalypse, graphics are bad thou.

Demon's Remake, GoW 2, and GT7.

Meh... They can have it.

This was my favourite part of today:

PS5 FTW!

I'll give it a year and it'll hit PS5.

Isn't EA doing a livestream today Monday?

Michael Pachter is a living joke. The real news is that game magazines and websites are still listening to this clown in 2020.

Great! It was obvious that this was coming to PlayStation, otherwise it wouldn't sell much being only on Xbox lol.

@daveofduncan probably because they know they'll need great games to counter that juicy silent hill PS5 exclusive.(?)

HELL YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, it's a sin for the most popular gaming console on the planet to not have this trilogy available to play natively and properly.

Great, more triggered people incoming.

Excellent. Now we just need the PS5 improvements.

The real news is people took to long to made this.

BTW, everyone complaining about PS4 jet engine sound, but the fat PS3 was a Rocket Engine way before.

Seriously, **** NINTENDO. Most bs company in the universe, this is just fan art, people are not making money from these levels.

Next time my nephew's gonna make a Mario drawing and a bunch of ninja lawyers are going to break from the window SWAT style.

Devs are not disappointed with PS5 presentation but Gamers are.

An insider by the name Tommy Fisher predicted these exact XSX Specs we got today; he also said PS5 is more powerful so we'll see.

They should have bought Squaresoft decades ago when they could.

@FullbringIchigo Please stop using that pointless argument to defend the poor Xbox performance in sales this generation. All the "always connected" BS never happened, they backtracked these politics before the console launch, they cut the console price in less than 2 years, they put the backward compatibility, they put the Xbox brand in prostitution with the play anywhere and the game pass, and still didn't managed to sell at least 50M. Xbox is an irrelevant brand and PlayStation is coming the same way.
