Anything you place on internet is immediately public, no matter how private you think it is. Always keep in mind this when placing any content on internet.
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.

I don't care your remaster, redesign, rerelease, re-, re, re, re... Sony. Just sell me PS2 emulator, and games leave on me. My PS2 shelf is full of discs.
Of course not. Won't waste more console power on meaningless processing. At least on ps5 you can opt-out all video recording contrary to ps4. It is way faster to find solutions on internet ...ohh PS5 doesn't have quick access to browser... Sony is still way way from logic thinking.
@LiamCroft SONY was desperately chasing for GaaS milk cow and while it (accidentaly) appears, they are trying to kill it. Can you please explain, to me and others, why???
Sony seems to me more and more chaotic circus, where clowns taken lead. I cannot find more reasonable explanation.
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.
I see no problem in letting it "as it is" If game works without additional "sign up" there is no need forcing people to do so. These artificial accounts are only waste of resources...
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).
I don't plan buying any dlc. FF16 was fantastic as it is. Even if that side quest "diarrhea" near very end left for me, as completionist, quite bitter taste on tongue.
Pretty bad month. Fotball - no comment Ghostrunner 2 - GR1 was pretty bad, so why GR2? Is it worse? Tunic - Saved the day. At least some indie playable game Destiny something something - datadisc for some online game that was fun for about hour. nevermind.
@Trousersnake We have technology for spatial movies, games comes soon. No special TVs or any other gadgets. Yes, it is not 360 degrees experience, but it can be enjoyed by anyone sitting on sofa, without need of additional space or movement.
@Trousersnake Why? Because of one game, that may or may not be good? BTW all this virtual gadgets are dead end as same as 3D TVs. Soon will be spatial picture on any TV.
