I noticed a similar thing for The Casting of Frank Stone. All of the promo material is PlayStation branded.

Redfall got exactly the same kind of brutal attacks even though it was nowhere near as bad as people liked to make out.

This isn't my type of game but it's objectively not a poorly made product.

I really don't like how one of the devs decided to get all angry and start talking about people though.

The list of cons and problems definitely don't make it sound like and 8/10.

@WhiteRabbit Yet sanity seems to be one of yours.

Well hopefully this means that there is no difference between either gender because otherwise it's absolutely offensive!

And why isn't there a trans/non-binary option???

This game is disgusting.

1920s Cinema - low cost, massive gain

2020s Cinema - massive cost, some gain

1980s gaming - low cost, massive gain

2020s gaming - massive cost, some gain

What is it that you don't get?

The games industry is heading for a collapse.

@riceNpea "Twenities"??? I didn't say that the twenties were a point of suffering ever. I said that comparison between the twenties is night and day between the MCU. Making an analogy between 80s gaming and modern day gaming. That was clearly my point.

The games industry is heading for a fall. This isn't just my opinion by the way.

Console wars are irrelevant.

@get2sammyb Thanks for not sinking to console wars.

@riceNpea Cinema lost thousands of jobs during that time. Attendance may have been higher but job creation wasn't. And now, thousands of people are losing their jobs in the games industry whilst the buying of games increases. The gap between a hit and a miss used to be negligible. The gap between a hit and a miss nowadays is death for a studio and absolute bankruptcy.

@riceNpea Yes it did. Several times in fact. And it's on the verge of doing something similar now.

@CielloArc Are you quite young? I ask because Nintendo have released several systems that they've had to drastically reduce the price of and also several systems that didn't sell like hotcakes.

Virtual Boy, GameCube, 3DS, Wii U.

I hope Nintendo doesn't feel they can charge anything they want just because the Switch has been such a success.

@riceNpea That's like comparing the early days of cinema in the 1920s to the MCU.

The industry is massively changing for the worse. Studios closing, mass redundancies, increased development costs, ridiculous development times, higher game prices.

None of it is sustainable.

And if the rumours of the Switch 2 costing around £500 are even slightly true then that's another terrible omen for the future.

@Ilyn I've Googled it, an as far as I can see Asus don't make a cut of any sales made via stores. It's Windows based so any store you can get on a PC is there so there's no convincing store owners.

Regarding the specs, the fact that the PS4 is still getting games 4 years into this generation means that it's perfectly workable.

In theory, if Microsoft built a truly Windows Xbox, there's no reason it couldn't access all of the stores available on Windows.

@Ilyn I actually think that dedicated hardware from any manufacturer will be obsolete after PS6 and a PS7 will be completely unnecessary. Sony and Microsoft make no money from selling consoles and the R&D costs alone are ridiculous. A plug and play PC type box including the PlayStation and Xbox stores will be a win win for parents/gamers in general. And the fact that Asus already has a handheld capable of this shows that PC manufacturers are ready and able to do just that. Imagine a box under your TV that can access all of those games VS a PS7 that can only play PlayStation games.

@Ilyn I think that PS6 will be the last PlayStation console. The point of having a machine that's tied to only one ecosystem seems more and more ridiculous as time goes on. I don't think there will be a streaming only future just yet though. I've heard rumours that the next Xbox is likely to be even more of a PC in a box with the aim of having multiple store fronts available. Xbox, Steam, Epic etc. could all be accessible from a console like machine under your TV. That could be a game changer when you think about it.

Genuine question to PlayStation only/primary gamers - How many more generations of PlayStation do you think there will be?

This looks like absolute dog****.

@thefourfoldroot1 I think you made your intention quite clear when your earlier sentence was about cleavage.

Have I missed something?

There was no, witty irony involved in what you said. Despite you now trying to act like this was your plan.

@thefourfoldroot1 Why would you say you're not going to play the game because it doesn't have enough digital cleavage???

According to this preview, the game is better in many ways.

I'll stick with Chop Till You Drop on Wii.

Congratulations Sony! I'm delighted that you're delighted with your engagement numbers! The whole reason I bought my PS5 was to help with your engagement numbers so I'm glad that we're both winning!

@naruball I was basing it off the cuts, the statements about them losing money and the fact that Sony paid $3.6 billion for them. I think it's safe to assume that they haven't made any money for Sony.

I'm really pleased if this means that Tango can make more games like Hi-Fi Rush.

@PegasusActual93 Zenimax makes Microsoft a lot of money. Bungie (so far) hasn't done so for Sony.

I decided to play Max Payne 1 for the first time ever a few weeks ago and despite it being a little rough around the edges by today's standards, it's still a really great game.

However, I am totally stuck on the second nightmare stage and it's driving me crazy. 😥

That's fine. Don't put your game on a subscription service. But while you're at it, can you please stop milking your loyal customers dry and using sneaky tactics to inflate your game sales.

Thanks Xbox! Much Appreciated!

The PS5 is my least favourite PlayStation so far and I think at this point it sells purely based on the brand.

@Ralizah I completely agree that they should have remade the first game. It has so many improvement opportunities.

I can't see them ever being re-released but for me, Sunsoft will always be Batman NES and Gremlins 2 NES. Such great games.

This is an absolute lie.

Good to hear. This site's review of Ghost Hunter echoed my own preferences. I'm tired of ever expanding game worlds and really appreciate more linear experiences these days. Even when I do have the time spend hours gaming, I find myself playing games that get to the point without requiring hours of padding.

It's why I've really been enjoying playing my PS3 and backwards compatible Xbox games recently.

@thefourfoldroot1 Yes Sony should have done a lot more. Porting some VR1 games across would have helped and had minimal impact on the in-house development teams. An easy win.

Killer7 was one of my favourite games when it came out and still is to the this day.

The GameCube version was far superior to the PS2 version (the same with RE4) but I think anyone who loved the original would be desperate for a remake.

@thefourfoldroot1 R&D project! 😂 Well I wished they had told me that before I shelled out £530.

I also think that, given the first party output on PSVR1, I'm entitled to have expected more from Sony themselves.

The PSVR2 must surely be the quickest Sony has abandoned any piece of hardware. 😥

This definitely wouldn't be my list but I appreciate that it's user generated.

Good to see some PSVR2 articles again on this site. I love mine but just wish that Sony would flesh out the line up with some PSVR1 ports.

Blood and Truth, Astrobot, Dreams, Farpoint, Iron Man, and Until Dawn Rush of Blood would do very nicely.

Very sad news.

It's a nice enough controller but I feel like they could have gone further with it to make it truly special.

People will complain saying that the eyes lighting up would be a waste of battery life, but I really doubt that anyone buying this is using it as their main controller.

@z0d15g0d You're completely right. Ghostface has been several different teens with a knife. And sometimes adults.

So exactly who the **** am I playing as??? Billy Loomis or Stu Macher? Or worse???

A better character to add would have been Sidney Prescott or Gale Weathers. I can even hear their names being said by the MK announcer.

Gale Weathers wins. Flawless Victory.

@scottdevine48 Despite MK9 and MK vs DCU being available on Xbox backwards compatibility, I would love to see remastered versions of both.

This is going to sound stupid but I own pretty much all of the soulsbourne games but have barely played any of them. I keep seeing, more and more of people saying what a slog they are so I'm thinking of selling them all to reduce my backlog.

It definitely looks like it has captured the essence of the games. I have my fingers and toes crossed for another great video game adaptation after Fallout and The Last of Us.

@PuppetMaster Exactly! Nothing! Yet this site posts articles that mention Xbox and Switch all the time. But only when it's for Sony's perceived benefit. When there's something negative about the red or green they post tons of stuff to fuel pathetic console wars. And then people flood the comments with "Xbox sux, Switch is crap" kind of comments. It's purile, childish and, as a PlayStation fan, I wish they'd do better.

But I guess that engagement is more important than actually having objective opinions and standards.

@WhiteRabbit Because I'm a PlayStation fan and like to keep up with the latest news. Is that okay with you?

PSVR2 has plenty of games. Just virtually none from Sony themselves.

I wish I had held of buying mine if I'm honest. I love VR in general but it seems like this is dead in the water now.

I have PSVR1, PSVR2 and a Quest 3. PSVR1 was a revelation for me and I only wish Sony had made better controls rather than forcing Move controls onto us.

PSVR2 has some incredible tech built in, amazing controllers but is absolutely going to fail. I'm gutted.

Meta aren't letting up with their VR push and have some amazing exclusive games coming up. There are also plans for new hardware further down the line. This is the platform I wish I'd solely gone with after PSVR1.

I'll get this on Xbox as I have the original 360 version still playable on Series X. With Killer Is Dead also playable, and Lollipop Chainsaw upcoming, all I need is a Killer7 and NMH 1+2 ports to be happy.

Killer7 came out on PC a while back and HD ports of NMH are on Switch so it's baffling to me that they haven't released everywhere else.
