Re: PlayStation Fans Torn on Prospect of PS5 Pro

Vivisapprentice

For me, still seems completely unnecessary, i haven't seen a game this gen that has blown my socks off, 3-4 years in the PS4 gen and things were cranking, i haven't seen anything on PS5 that is on par with TLOU2(except the remaster). The fact we are still getting cross gen games and the Series S being underpowered might be holding things back

Re: Talking Point: What Can We Expect in the Next State of Play Show?

Id imagine all the leaks will come true as its from a reputable leaker. As for other titles, there's a few things still left on the table from past SOP's, where Braid anniversary, Little Devil inside, Synduality? We might see some launch trailers for Foamstars or Pacific Drive? Capcom usually turns up, so time for Pragmata?

I just hope there's a big surprise or 2, but honestly with what's leaked its already looking like the best SOP ever

Re: Talking Point: What Do You Want from Sony and PlayStation in 2024?

PlayStation is publishing a huge amount this year, TLOU2R, Helldivers 2, MLB 24, Lost Soul Aside, Rise of the Ronin, Stellar Blade, Concord, Convallria, maybe Spiderman 2 DLC.
Most of these titles we know nothing of really, no marketing, no hype, just trailers that go for a couple of minutes.

2024 I would like them to be more transparent, I know games are taking longer to develop, and the pull to live service has delayed some studios, but I would still like to know what they're cooking, a big showcase is needed (pretend the 2023 one didn't happen).

I like what microsoft is doing with the developers direct, something like that would be appreciated, where we get a deep dive into 4-5 games.

Hopefully the new CEO will take it in a better direction

Re: Embracer Collapse Continues, with TimeSplitters Dev Allegedly Next on the Chopping Block

Feel sorry for the developers, obviously the leaders of these development studios saw the embracer $$ and signed up, it was always going to collapse as nothing worthwhile has come out of any of these embracer group acquisitions, you need money coming in to support this spending and I don't think they've had one big hit yet and unfortunately the employees on the bottom rungs are the ones affected
