Re: Latest State of Play Is One of the Worst-Received PS5 Shows Yet

djlard

Didn't see, so cannot judge.
But it looks like I was right in some way - Sony, after GaaS strategy has imploded, have almost nothing in cooking pot.

Anyway I don't understand that mania around Astrobot. Mine experience was I tried to play it on PS4, but in a few seconds it forces me to connect PS camera which I don't own so I was stuck and really don't want to buy camera just because one game.

Sony's (almost non-existing) marketing is pretty bad. Yes, they expected to swim in pool of money right now, but as soon as their GaaS "all-in" started to pop, like baloons on cactus party, Sony realised they have NOTHING in cooking pot. And that is scary!

If you look at it with pure logic, PS2, PS3 and PS4 era was golden for gamers. Constant flow of new cca 40 hours long games was making constant income.

Put aside that "false flu hysteria" where people were clearing backlogs, Sony made two huge missteps.
First was absolutely maniacally rushed PS5 release. Unfinished system (still is) and shortage of production.
Second was absolute lack of PS5 games on release.

But it didn't stop there. They bet everything on "Syren's call" of GaaS and - the worst aquisition in gaming history - Bungie.

Result is surprisingly drastic. They ended up empty handed. Half GaaSes scraped, rest GaaSes attract minimum interest, Wolverine is lost somewhere in process, BG3 DD2 HellDivers 2 Stellar Blade already out, and now what ...? London studio closure... I think they are burning in their own hell right now and it will require LOTS of fast and hard work to get out of it.

But I'm affraid, with Sony's lack of fast acting, we are spectators of one huge catastrophe.

Another account, another chance to be hacked.

How many people use different email on different account? And different passwords? I personally have so much accounts I forgot 2/3 of them. Until I start some game and find out I already have that account.

In this case I'm on the side of gamers. Game evidently works in current state so additional account (also not available in all countries) is just unnecessary vexing.

Re: Sony Sings PS Portal's Praises with Accolades Trailer

While PS5 in our home works primary as YT, NFX and D+ player, there is no place for PS Portal, because I cannot run game on it while watching above mentioned media. So I still need separated device and Switch fits me perfectly (except asymmetrical sticks).
