Re: PS5's Lack of Tentpole Exclusives Isn't Hurting Engagement, Says Sony

UltimateOtaku91

I've been putting a load of hours into my PS5, especially more so this year with some lengthy JRPG's like Granblue, FF7 ReBirth, P3R, Unicorn Overlord, Dragons Dogma 2 and Trails Through Daybreak. Even in terms of online games I've put around 200 hours into Apex Legends, 50 into HellDivers 2 and 30 into Monster Hunter Rise.

I think the better the games are coming out then of course the engagement time will go up but ultimately it's down to online games becoming more and more popular.

@OldGamer999 Yeah I agree, it's strange though why they are. Wing like this with their single player games but have no problem announcing Fairgames which is still atleast a year away now. So if they can show Fairgames a couple of years before it's release then why not their other games?

Same with the third party games they reveal at their showcases, some are years away like Pragmata and Little Devil Inside yet Sony showed them off two years ago. People don't care if the games are a few years away, as long as they know what's coming and can have something to look forward to.

On PS5 i will be playing Fairy Tail and Trails Through Daybreak. Daybreak has been excellent so far, the best Trails game yet for me so far.

On Switch I will be playing Tears of the Kingdom, been using the strategy guide to make sure I do all the caves, wells, shrines and side quests in every area before I do the final sage. I will also be playing Splatoon 3 as its Splatfest weekend.

@OldGamer999 I think GTA 6 will be a showcase of what the PS5 can really do, and games will only get better from there.

To chime in on the Pro conversation, It all depends on what Microsoft are doing. If Microsoft are going to cut this gen short and release their next console in 2026 then it makes sense for Sony to skip the Pro and focus on their next console as well so it competes with Microsoft, they wouldn't want Microsoft getting ahead again like they did with the Xbox 360.

@OldGamer999 Call of Duty and Fifa are not good examples this time, when the PS4 came out the next three Call of Duty titles and Fifa titles still released on the PS3.

Even then there was some bigger single-player games that also still released on the PS3 like Persona 5, MGS 5, Dragon Age Inquisition, Watchdogs, Alien Isolation, Evil Within, Diablo 3, Wolfenstein, Shadow of Mordor etc.

There's always going to be some games that are cross gen as Devs don't want to alienate their player base so much and want to maximize profits. But the faster the new consoles increase their install base the quicker last gen games will disappear, this gen is still seeing last gen games because of the slow console sales during the first two years. 2025 onwards should finally see PS4 releases become rare especially from the AAA/AA devs/publishers.

Well theres many factors why it took PS5 longer. The price being much higher during a time where people are trying to spend less, the supply issues during the first two years and the fact that the majority of games were still releasing on PS4 making the need to get a PS5 less urgent and in some cases (casuals) not necessary, but honestly that goes for the last two gens as well.

Either way Sony will be very pleased as it has the most revenue earnt compared to those other consoles.

Currently on Chapter 4 of Daybreak and really enjoying this one way more that Cold Steel 1-3, once I've finished it though I will go back to do CS 4 and Reverie. My only negative about the whole series so far is that they try to make every character have some big secret and there's too many plots going on at once in each game.

I would also like a Remake of the Trails in the Sky games, to see what kicked off this whole saga.

Re: Reaction: PS5 Needs a Price Cut

UltimateOtaku91

Surely the parts used to make the PlayStation 5 lose value after so many years? as there's always new upgraded components being made. Just like most things after a few years they lose value, so surely it's costing Sony less now to produce Playstation 5 consoles as it did when it released? Or maybe use cheaper alternative parts in some areas to cut down on cost.

Re: Deals: PSVR2 Price Gets a Hefty Cut at Numerous UK Retailers

UltimateOtaku91

@OldGamer999 Same at my work, I'm known as the gamer whilst everyone else just wants to talk abouy women, tv shows and football. One guy has a ps5 but no games, just bought it ready for GTA 6 lol. I don't know if gaming is in decline or if it's just youngsters these days just find it too nerdy to talk about, like if they talk about games they are going to get mocked for it or something. It's a shame really and it's a reason why I appreciate sites like this more.

Re: Deals: PSVR2 Price Gets a Hefty Cut at Numerous UK Retailers

@OldGamer999 Yeah this is the point where the latest consoles will start to get big price cuts, we've seen it with the VR2 today and id wager before Christmas the standard PS5 and the Switch consoles will get a permanent price cut. That will probably help sales pick up a bit but I can't see the PS5 reaching the PS4 figures and i definitely don't see the "Switch 2" doing as well as the Switch.
