@LifeGirl That was one employee from 150, a studio is not a monolith there's obviously some that will be more mentally unstable then others. Now if you say the company should have released a statement apologizing for that rogue employee then I agree.
So Pokemon copying Dragon Quest is ok but Pal word copying Pokemon is the end of humanity? What would games look like today if no game was ever allowed to take anything from another game!?
If it was a traditional game where you buy it and get to unlock the characters in single player mode it would have been received better and possibly leave a lasting impact. I doubt even Smash would succeed in this live service nonsense.
@PuppetMaster it's ridiculous, so then Kojima can use the Sony engine for any game he chooses? Could he technically make a Xbox exclusive with it since that's only engine he's used this gen?
@IntrepidWombat Push Square being paid to fully cover a newly released PlayStation console!? sellouts!! If they don't cover the Switch 2 like this then we will know they sold out π€
Sony just released a new console and people are mad it's being covered? Can you imagine when Switch 2 releases people on Nintendo life are like "Gosh I'm so sick of hearing about the new Switch, move on already π"
Wait isn't this using Guerrilla games engine? I would have thought Sony had more control of where their engine is ported. So technically if Sony wanted they can now easily port all the Horizon gamed to Xbox! π―
@Cerny You think Sony went to this random studio and told them to not make their mostly unknown game 60fps on the base PS5 to help sell the Pro?
Why doesn't Sony just have their first party studios (who they actually control) make their games 60fps exclusive to the Pro? If what you say is true Wolverine should only run at 30!
When you add in the Studios purchase, marketing (that Amazon episode!) and some other cost that goes along with maintaining a studio it should reach that 400 mil number. Regardless that's money that now Sony doesn't have because Hurst sucks at his job.
Is amazing how after you're at the very top like Hermen they make it impossible for you to fail. This guy probably cost Sony a combined $400+ mil and not only will he not get fired but he will get a juicy holiday bonus for his troubles π
If there was any sense of justice Hermen Hulst would be the first one fired but in this bizarro world he screws up big time and he then gets the privilege of firing the developers he himself championed and brought over π
Well that's disappointing I loved the first and before the storm but just liked the others. A 72 metacritic doesn't scream must buy now so will wait for at least one price drop.
I would give it a 8.5/10, it's great overall but there's a few things I don't like particularly the character select screen. Why they didn't have it like Tenkaichi 3 where you select a character and it gives you the options of transformations is beyond me. Having to scroll every time past a wall of 20 Gokus is a bit much.
@twitchtvpat Who's making it though? If is the hacks that made the horrible Until Dawn remaster then no thanks, that's like getting the guys that did the GTA trilogy (Grove Street Games) to do GTA 6.
If Sony got a contact done with Supermassive Games to do the sequel then yeah bring it! Also I don't see why for the movie they couldn't get the original voice actors as most of them are talented actors/actresses.
Absolutely I'm playing it, the game is everything I wanted and more. I haven't had this much fun with a Dragon Ball game since probably Budokai 3 & Tenkaichi 3!
I used to think Zuckerberg was the worst we could possibly get with the worst social media in the world... boy was I wrong, didn't know we had it so good π (he's still an Android though, beep boop)
@McTwist "Bandai pumps out so many condensed or low quality DBZ games, it's kinda sad"
Your wait is over, this is very high quality with the best visuals and effects for a DBZ game to date. It looks just like the Anime, what more you wanted? Did you wanted it to play like GTA 6 with the graphics of Alan Wake 2?
"it's quite possibly the most accurate representation of Dragon Ball action to ever be harnessed in video game form"
That's the most important thing many of us always wanted from a Dragon Ball game. All the vids showing up on my TikTik feed convinced me the hype is real π₯ I got it earlier today and I couldn't be happier is like you're playing live episodes!
It isn't, the overwhelming positive response (to the original) shows that. The game just didn't click with you, GOW Ragnarok didn't click with me but I still would not say is bad just because I personally didn't like it.
@BrettAwesome "Petty as it may be, I hope this machine fails miserably."
I doubt Sony is looking at it as either it fails or succeeds, it's just something extra if people want a little more shine and frames in their games. PS6 will come out on time regardless of how PS5 Pro does.
It is my second favorite game from David behind only Heavy Rain, actually I like/love all his games. Maybe he can make a comeback someday if he ever manages to remove his face from his a**.
"To make matters worse, the original runs at 60fps with PS5 backwards compatibility, while this new edition targets an inconsistent 30fps"
How does a game like this require all the power of the Pro to be able reach the same frame rate as the 9 year old PS4 version? This would be a hard sell with a $10 upgrade option, I'm going to be happy with my old copy and pretend this "upgrade" doesn't exist.
Already had Dead Space but can still admit it's a great month! I tried the WWE game and its a fantastic game overall but I don't like the gameplay, I wish I could transfer the gameplay from the AEW game. My mind is still stuck on WWF no mercy, WCW Revenge and Def Jam Vendetta.
Well this shows how terrible Tim Sweeney is at his job if having the most profitable game in the world with the most players isn't good enough and he was just getting by, basically pinching pennies till he fired all those people.
I've heard many complaints about the game but this is the first time hearing that one, what was woke about it? I've seen a couple videos and it just looks like a standard SW story with the Ubisoft formula.
"it's my opinion that my game is the future of gaming, not your game or your friend Steve's game but my game which is currently making me lots of money"
I can't imagine Sony looking at the disaster and headache that the S was for everyone (especially developers) and thinking "yup, we need our own X and S asap!" so a portable is the most likely scenario which is absolutely the right decision.
"America hates lewd and erotic stuff but blood and gore is totally okay. Meanwhile Japan loves lewd and erotic stuff but hates blood and gore"
I saw this quote and it's completely correct, each country has things they find more offensive than other countries. I would prefer everything be uncensored but that's just how things are when dealing with different cultures π€· (Japan also doesn't like drug & religious references)
Not personally interested in this but it reminds me that I would love a DOA7 but this time make it a proper fighting game! Don't first make $2,000 worth of costumes with 100 season passes and try to build a game around them π
I actually had hope after this Ghost game (which I'm super hyped for!) SP would make a new Infamous game, well at least give us remasters of the PS3 games π
At one point I thought it was showing direct footage of the game, pretty impressiveπ I didn't watch season 1 because I thought Ellie was miscasted but I will now watch everything!
I'm happy they didn't give Jin the Aloy treatment and have him star in about 100 games π Ghost was fantastic and we now get a another potentially fantastic game with a new protagonist!
@johnedwin Good! they think they can use and borrow ideas from the entire industry but if someone dares borrow from them it's lawsuit city. Most games coming out have taken something (no matter how small) from other games, that's how the games grow.
What would the Spider-Man games look like if Rocksteady had said to Insomniac "stop copying us bit**** or we'll sue you into oblivion".
Awesome! it's a low enough price that I'm willing to give it a shot, hopefully it does well enough that Sony is willing to go to bat for Pocketpair! Well let me go buy it before Nintendo tries and suck it into the abyss.
Or Sony can bypass this headache entirely by just keeping it's single player games exclusive like that other company does, what was their name Nintendon't π€
@Ralizah "What's the Vita 2, or whatever it's called, gonna offer that a Steam Deck 2 wouldn't already?*
Being able to play our large PS4/PS5 libraries on the go plus buying just one copy and using it across the PS6 and PS6 portable π
You said before you primarily play Steam games so this doesn't benefit you but for the rest of us who mostly use PlayStation hardware it's a dream come true!
I hope real resources didn't go into this completely pointless remaster π as you said the game already runs at 4K 60fps, might aswell remaster Astro Bot if they truly don't want touch that apparently icky PS3 catalog.
