I understand the skepticism, I was about the 14 games that Sony was going to release, now it’s less than half that. But I just like variety. I love the single payer experience that Sony offers. I enjoy multiplayer games as well. What successful Sony produced multiplayer game has there been this gen? HellDivers 2? That’s about it. And it’s GAaS. It’s done right. Not pay to play. But that’s it.. and all I hear about is how bad they want Marathon to fail. For what reason? They are offering something to a group of players that is new from them. I don’t know I just try to play games with an open mind. Marathon definitely doesn’t deserve the hate.. it may not be for everyone, of course.
I played the closed beta and it was really good. It’s pretty solid, definitely doesn’t deserve the hate. I don’t understand some gamers sometimes. Complain about no games and then want games to die as soon as they release.
He left on a high note.. time to enjoy his time off and he may start something new in the future, who knows.. but he done great. Congrats to him for his great career and for his retirement.
@Silenos You do realize that HellDivers 2 and Arc Raiders both are $40 games?
Multiplayer only games shouldn’t be $60-$70 anyways.
On top of that. I’ve been playing the beta and it is rather fun. The people I play with agree as well. They are the ones playing Arc Raiders. Not seeing the doom and gloom you’ve been hearing about this game.
It looks good. She is well balanced, matured, not the fragile Lara I’ve played in the past remakes..
I like the direction it is going from what I’ve seen.
@TrollOfWar I just think it was just wasn’t mentioned. But it’s still coming out for Xbox since it was previously on their site showing the September release.
I’ve been playing the beta. And it’s pretty good, if someone would like Arc Raiders, it’s familiar, just first person. I’m glad it’s $40. That’s what I was thinking it should’ve been offered at anyways.
I don’t really understand the knack against the game. I play with an open mind. And it’s fun, you have multiple classes to choose from with their own abilities to level up. I think it’s a good game.
I’ll be interested to see a new Fable. Pretty let down to see that they canceled Perfect Dark and shattered multiple studios this year. I’ll check out their show. At this point they don’t need to put their titles 6 months out from a Xbox release. They’ve mentioned day one releases in the past, and they should just do it from here on out.
Giving them the benefit of the doubt here. I do hope the next Infinity Ward Call of Duty will be a rewarding experience. The last one I enjoyed was in 2022. I know I go on and on how fun DMZ was but I had so many hours in that game. It was fun.
It coming back in 2026 would be very welcoming for the community that it has built.
Some things I like to make mention. It began about the time Activision buyout was taking place. First was the skins that were completely dumb.. They release MW3 that was just basically an add-on of the previous game. And the last two Black Ops were just the same rehashed material with a $70 price tag. If this next COD doesn’t put it over the top than you’ll see a decline that will be almost be permanent.
It seems when something is owned by Microsoft it doesn’t really improve but rather stays stagnant and they just sit back and collect the cash from it until the oil dries up.
Finally have a good commercial to show off the games. Maybe I missed it in the past but that was always a good selling point for me. Like the old PS3 commercials, not the scary babydoll but the one showing Resistance and Warhawk and all the other good times.
2026 actually looks like it will be a good year.
Saros would most likely be day one or close to it.
Halo, loved the game as a kid. Maybe I’ll pick it up to say I got Halo on PS5.
007 looks like a nice game
Wolverine would be day one
Marvel Token was cool, it just a lot to memorize all the controls.
I know it’s not ideal for consumers but when you look at the price of everything now but you look at what Sony has done with the PS5 Pro. It’s actually a pretty good deal. Especially when you compare it to the Xbox Series X with the 2TB SDD. Or even a comparable performance PC build, you’re not going to match it for that price.
It was a fast fluid fps.. it just i had problems using the portals and getting snuck up on. It played nice. Just basic team death match and capture the flag stuff.
One Piece has been out on Netflix, there coming out with season 2 soon. Is there a Cowboy Bebop live series?? I would love to watch that. For a game from anime, that would be a nice one if Sony could pull it off imo.
PlayStation hasn’t lost a lot of steam surprisingly it being out since November 2020. You’re seeing an increased index of PS4 players this year upgrading as well. I think it’s going to have a hit year next year with GTAVI, there’s no denying that.
Saros releasing in March. Marathon releasing around March ( I’m hoping it will be a fun title). GTAVI releasing in the fall maybe October with Wolverine probably coming before it in September. This seems to be a good year with first party releases with GTA moving consoles in the Q4.
I also have a Switch 2 and it’s selling right now of course with it only picking up steam from here. But for me I’m waiting for some more games. It’s just been sitting at home, I’ve been playing BF6 and Arc Raiders at the moment on my Pro. And my daughter she doesn’t really play it that much yet either. Just been taking over my PS5 to play Roblox.
Metroid and Hyrule Warriors look good to me.. I’m looking forward to seeing what is in store for it next year.
The only problem with the console is the library of first party games have been so spread out. Usually towards the middle of the console life it just takes off with games or it did with prior generations. But it’s not necessarily PlayStation as it is that the development has ballooned to 5 years or more for a AAA game.
They mentioned in the past about creating AA games to fill in between but have not seen or heard nothing since.
And we all aware of the push for live service games. Which I enjoy them if they are appealing. But the cancellation of certain games has definitely made a gap between other first party titles.
Sony also mentioned bringing back IPs from the past which I would enjoy. Also fostering and owning IP’s over buying out companies. It just doesn’t happen over night unfortunately.
I really don’t understand the dislike of this game. GG did something different when they released this game. I beat both main entries. And they both had me glued in the story. And I liked taking down the massive thunder jaws and slaughterspines. It’s a good series. I just don’t understand all the backlash. I pretty much enjoyed all the first party IP’s.
I hope it turns out well. NCSoft make good MMO’s. I still find it confusing that Sony had two companies work on the same game with both being online.. I’m sure both are two different adaptations. But I’m just curious on what Guerrilla Games can do to make this game be a successful online experience.
There’s really not a reason it couldn’t. They’ve released games on consoles. I know that’s not their biggest market but there are some who just want to play games on console.
But in other words. They are working on an online Horizon game themselves and that’s the only thing I can see why they wouldn’t release it on PS5.
I hope what they’re doing is going to suck lol.
@AdamNovice I don’t know how either but here we are. I just seen the previous leak from a year or two ago and I didn’t care for the art direction that they took. I was under the assumption that one of the titles were canceled and I was hoping it was the one I’ve seen.
@LogicStrikesAgain
They are primarily PC/Mobile yes. They made good with GuildWars to GuildWars 2.. and some others over the years. That’s their bread and butter.
But they do have a games coming to PS5. There were multiple projects in production but one may have been cancelled.
I hope it does well.. Either way I hope it does well.
Kind of surprised by Disney+ being the outlet. Netflix has game anime series of SplinterCell and TombRaider. Not that I care I have both. I don’t watch Disney+ that much since I’m just waiting for new StarWars seasons. The new Daredevil season was really good though. I guess this will give Disney+ something since they lack on depth.
@LogicStrikesAgain
They do have games on console. Throne and Liberty? It’s a game on all platforms. So to say that they can’t or don’t make console games is irrelevant.
The trailer looked nice. I was thinking the mobile version of the game was canceled. But I guess this a mobile and PC game. I don’t see why it couldn’t come to PS5, NCSoft’s Throne and Liberty is on PS5. I guess time will tell. Just kind of confused why it won’t launch on console. I do hope it does well. I always liked NCSoft back in the days of the first GuildWars and was my first real MMO. So I know they are talented just have a concern with the classes. What classes would they offer if everyone has a bow and sword?
@CielloArc
Are you sure about that? They do make really good sequels. Forbidden West was really good. It’s been a minute since I played Until Dawn, but I don’t recall FW to be worse. More like a step up.
God of War Ragnarok was a great game as well.. definitely was a step up as well.
Now if you say you liked the first games better that’s can be an accurate statement but to say most people. I disagree. In your defense sequels sometimes don’t live up to the first. But for this, I don’t think that’s the case.
I like both. And both are great in their own way. But choosing one over the other. Jin is more relatable to me. It doesn’t take away from Atsu though, because in the end she wasn’t just blinded by revenge. She allows change and have something more meaningful to fight for.
Also I like the fact at the end of GoT you can choose your own ending. Both are great titles as mentioned.. loved both stories.
I wouldn’t mind if they waited to release it in 2028. This generation took a long time to get where it is now. They could wait another year to release the PS6 and the PS5 would still not lose its appeal. They are 2 years behind in terms of their first party library. Just now getting to where it should have been. Last year not one triple A title released but AstroBot, and that wasn’t considered a major title. There isn’t going to be a substantial need for new hardware as it was in the past at the moment IMO. I’ll get a PS6 regardless but it wont have a big attachment rate if they release it sooner than needed.
@Fiendish-Beaver I could be wrong but I highly doubt the series S/X would be sold the entire next gen. For one they usually discontinue the previous consoles after a short period of the new consoles. I think all previous generations had an early cut off date for new games and they transitioned over to the next, not like how Sony continued support years after. In example PS2 and more recently the PS4. Only thing I can see them prolonging the Seires S/X is because of the next console is looking to be over double in price. But stores are start taking their consoles and games out to as well. So it getting support for a long period of time is doubtful.
Over 8 million copies on PS4 sounds good to me. Selling that under 2 years is not a bad accomplishment. Before the discounted price.
Selling over 10 million units for PS4 and PC. Don’t see how that’s not good.
The review of the game was 2 weeks before the game was released. The whole launch was overly exaggerated on how bad it was. They fixed the issues at launch.
Death Stranding 2 is a beautiful game but I haven’t played in it awhile and haven’t got far. I’ll need dive deeper in it.
Split Fiction was actually a fun game. Me and my daughter beat it together. I like couch co-op and makes a rewarding bond with your child playing games.
Battlefield 6 has been really good. BR Quads have been really fun with some friends of mine. The extraction mode, Gauntlet is fun too. But it’s not really an extraction game. Been pretty fun to play.
Ghost of Yotei to me is a beautiful well put together game. I voted for it to be game of the year. I still wish there was more to do after you finished it, but that’s the single players games for you. Looking forward to playing Legends.
I haven’t played Arc Raiders yet but I will be soon. Looks to be what I wanted in a multiplayer gsme.
Sony made a lot of good decisions but telling Bend Studios to make something different was not one.
We would already had a sequel to Days Gone out and almost a third by now if they let them continue.
DaysGone was a good game. It was an open world game.
The Last of Us is not the same. A good title but it’s linear like Uncharted. They are great and deeply loved. But totally different.
It’s been a hard gen with the first party line up.
We can still see Killzone just not from GG. I’ll be happy to have a remake from another team.
But there are other titles that made PlayStation memorable.
Socom needs a reboot from a team that could do it right.
Warhawk, the game was so much fun with so much going on. I would love to have a new one.
Resistance
MAG.
But it seems like people been saying this for years and nothing has been done about it. I really wish they would listen to the gamers on this one.
In its defense hardly anyone played 2042. It was after countless of updates that it got better. But hardly any of the people I knew or played with played 2042.
What a nice remake. They tried to combine the same halo engine with unreal engine is what I’ve heard few months ago. It looks fantastic. I will be playing this game however I would like to have multiplayer mode. But.. the couch co-op is a good to bring back and playing 4 player co-op will be a nice feat as well.
@DonkeyFantasy
That’s a good comparison.. I loved Fairgames. So much mayhem from a military style shooter. Loved when I was battling 6 man teams and I was the last person on my squad trying to res them and come back to win.. those were fun times.
To think Fairgames is the only choice out there.. obviously leaning heavily into sarcasm 🙄
@daveofduncan I’m playing Battlefield 6 and played it since PS2/Xbox era. I obviously know what it’s about. Wanting different modes that don’t play the same a problem? To each his own right. Just stating it would be good for them to offer something Ike this.
@REALAIS
I understand it can’t be just added in overnight. I’m just stating people want something different than the same old tdm/domination type of style of multiplayer experience. And extraction shooters take more of a team approach and it to me is more fulfilling.
Infinity Ward is coming with a DMZ 2.0 supposedly next year with the release of the new Call of Duty. If it’s a standalone mode that you would had to pay for, I would play that.
I may be beating a dead horse with this one.. but I would much more prefer a DMZ style objective based game. Open world sandbox style with completing personal missions and killing other squads and extracting with loot that you accumulated. It’s intense and firefights were always fun.
If Battlefield would offer this mode and its done right. It would be amazing. I have many friends who agree.
@TheArt
What held it back at launch was that Cell Processor was difficult to develop for. That and you had 512mb that was shared with the gpu and cpu. Once they had a better dev tools and were actually trying to help the devs, it got better..
But definitely glad that they went to a more develop friendly approach with the PS4 and PS5.
The 360 was popular but that 33% failure rate was more like 60-70%.. I remember countless of people bought one 3 times or even more. So you had that account for a lot of sales. On the contrary they did have a lot of good games and made Sony reevaluate their strategy.
Sure miss those days.. I hold the PS3 memories dearly.
Every generation towards the end I was ready for the next gen but because this gen has been so different. Maybe I’ll hold my judgement until the reveal. But i just want more first party titles at a faster dev cycle. I’ve read Kojima would like AI to assist in the repetition process of making games. If it can help with dev time I’m all for it.

The review of the game was 2 weeks before the game was released. The whole launch was overly exaggerated on how bad it was. They fixed the issues at launch.
Re: Clair Obscur, Ghost of Yotei, and More Battle for Golden Joystick's Ultimate Game of the Year Award
Death Stranding 2 is a beautiful game but I haven’t played in it awhile and haven’t got far. I’ll need dive deeper in it.
Split Fiction was actually a fun game. Me and my daughter beat it together. I like couch co-op and makes a rewarding bond with your child playing games.
Battlefield 6 has been really good. BR Quads have been really fun with some friends of mine. The extraction mode, Gauntlet is fun too. But it’s not really an extraction game. Been pretty fun to play.
Ghost of Yotei to me is a beautiful well put together game. I voted for it to be game of the year. I still wish there was more to do after you finished it, but that’s the single players games for you. Looking forward to playing Legends.
I haven’t played Arc Raiders yet but I will be soon. Looks to be what I wanted in a multiplayer gsme.
Re: Sony Bend's PS5 Game Cancellation Could Be Seen Coming, Says Ex Dev
Sony made a lot of good decisions but telling Bend Studios to make something different was not one.
We would already had a sequel to Days Gone out and almost a third by now if they let them continue.
DaysGone was a good game. It was an open world game.
The Last of Us is not the same. A good title but it’s linear like Uncharted. They are great and deeply loved. But totally different.
It’s been a hard gen with the first party line up.
Re: Random: Fans Can't Believe Halo Is Coming to PS5 Before Killzone
We can still see Killzone just not from GG. I’ll be happy to have a remake from another team.
But there are other titles that made PlayStation memorable.
Socom needs a reboot from a team that could do it right.
Warhawk, the game was so much fun with so much going on. I would love to have a new one.
Resistance
MAG.
But it seems like people been saying this for years and nothing has been done about it. I really wish they would listen to the gamers on this one.

@PegasusActual93
In its defense hardly anyone played 2042. It was after countless of updates that it got better. But hardly any of the people I knew or played with played 2042.
Re: Halo Confirmed for PS5, Remake of First Game Out in 2026
What a nice remake. They tried to combine the same halo engine with unreal engine is what I’ve heard few months ago. It looks fantastic. I will be playing this game however I would like to have multiplayer mode. But.. the couch co-op is a good to bring back and playing 4 player co-op will be a nice feat as well.

@DonkeyFantasy
That’s a good comparison.. I loved Fairgames. So much mayhem from a military style shooter. Loved when I was battling 6 man teams and I was the last person on my squad trying to res them and come back to win.. those were fun times.
To think Fairgames is the only choice out there.. obviously leaning heavily into sarcasm 🙄
Re: Battlefield 6's Battle Royale Mode Set to Shadow Drop on PS5 Next Week
@daveofduncan
I’m playing Battlefield 6 and played it since PS2/Xbox era. I obviously know what it’s about.
Wanting different modes that don’t play the same a problem?
To each his own right. Just stating it would be good for them to offer something Ike this.
Re: Battlefield 6's Battle Royale Mode Set to Shadow Drop on PS5 Next Week
@REALAIS
I understand it can’t be just added in overnight. I’m just stating people want something different than the same old tdm/domination type of style of multiplayer experience. And extraction shooters take more of a team approach and it to me is more fulfilling.
Infinity Ward is coming with a DMZ 2.0 supposedly next year with the release of the new Call of Duty. If it’s a standalone mode that you would had to pay for, I would play that.
Re: Battlefield 6's Battle Royale Mode Set to Shadow Drop on PS5 Next Week
I may be beating a dead horse with this one.. but I would much more prefer a DMZ style objective based game. Open world sandbox style with completing personal missions and killing other squads and extracting with loot that you accumulated. It’s intense and firefights were always fun.
If Battlefield would offer this mode and its done right. It would be amazing. I have many friends who agree.
Re: PS5 Surpasses Lifetime PS3 Sales in the US
@TheArt
What held it back at launch was that Cell Processor was difficult to develop for. That and you had 512mb that was shared with the gpu and cpu. Once they had a better dev tools and were actually trying to help the devs, it got better..
But definitely glad that they went to a more develop friendly approach with the PS4 and PS5.
Re: PS5 Surpasses Lifetime PS3 Sales in the US
The 360 was popular but that 33% failure rate was more like 60-70%.. I remember countless of people bought one 3 times or even more. So you had that account for a lot of sales.
On the contrary they did have a lot of good games and made Sony reevaluate their strategy.
Sure miss those days.. I hold the PS3 memories dearly.
Re: Sony Game Helldivers 2 Is Proving a Monstrous Success on Xbox
It’s a good game. I still play it. Live Service are typically on all platforms anyways, glad they get to play.
Re: 'Even I Can't Tell the Difference': Shuhei Yoshida Thinks PS6 Needs Something Other Than Just More Power
Every generation towards the end I was ready for the next gen but because this gen has been so different. Maybe I’ll hold my judgement until the reveal. But i just want more first party titles at a faster dev cycle.
I’ve read Kojima would like AI to assist in the repetition process of making games. If it can help with dev time I’m all for it.
