Re: Reaction: PlayStation Needs to Take a Long, Hard Look at Itself

@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare we are 4 years into this current generation cycle and we have yet to see anything original from Naughty Dog. Since the PS3 days, I always saw them as "the PS Studio", the ones that really showed off the hardware tech. It has been Insomniac Games doing all the current leg work in this generation.

It is a real shame. They do have some great talent at their studios but they all seem to be working on huge budget games that will not see the light of day until 8 years after concept.
Just glad there are plenty of Indie games to fill the gaps

I know that they have the new Astro Bot game coning out, but have Sony/PlayStation shown off anything new coming soon? Something to get gamers excited and hopefully forget this disaster.
I am very out of the loop with gaming atm, but I remember a time where we seemed to always know what was coming in the next 6-12 months? I know they shot themselves in the foot a few times by accounting games way to early but they did become better at it.

@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare with how long it takes to make games now, I am always amazed that in one generation, Naughty Dog churned out Uncharted 1,2,3 and The Last of Us! We even got 3 Infamous games, 3 Resistance games, 2 Killzone games etc...
You could see the shift starting to happen during the PS4, but Sony had more Studios to fill gaps.

Re: Things Are Getting Worse for Floundering PS5, PC FPS Concord

ZeD

This game is not for me as hero shooters are not my thing but
I feel bad for the entire development team. What was it? 8 years in development (probably a few of them coming up with the main concept) and this is the response they get.
When I checked the numbers this morning, it was less than 100!

Re: What's Next for PS5 Smash Hit Action RPG Zenless Zone Zero?

ZeD

An urban RPG? Now that is a genre I cannot said I have heard of before.
I've only heard of Genshin Impact and from what I understand, it can suck you in if you are not careful. I don't think I will be trying it after reading your review. The one thing I have trouble dealing with in f2p games is just the amount of systems/currency to learn

Re: PS Plus Subscribers Can Play Concord PS5 Beta This Weekend

ZeD

@Voltan yes, the early access for Plus members. Was reading the blog and it said β€˜ Just look for the option to download and play the beta when you boot up your PS5.’ That’s what I was looking for on my PS5 πŸ˜‚

But after another re read of the post, I assume it will be 10am PDT along with the pre order folks πŸ˜€

Re: PlayStation Returns as TGS Exhibitor for the First Time Since 2019

@riceNpea I agree, revealing it before Chistmas/Holidays with a future (2025) release day would destroy any console sales, as some may wait.

If my memory serves me well... I remember that Sony use to do full announce hardware release dates during Gamescom. I certainly remember the PS3 Slim getting a price and date. And that came out the same year, just in time for the holidays.

It may sound silly, but imagine if Sony are holding out to find out when the Switch 2 comes out. As I am sure that would kill everything in it's path πŸ˜‚

I am glad to see Sony back at the TGS and will be interested to see what they bring, because in the past this is where they usually show off their more "quirky" games from Studios long gone...
