@LifeGirl I mean, why wouldn't you take the free money? Sure, it's not much, but it's better than nothing. I honestly can't understand ignoring it when there's free cash available for just clicking a button.
Yeah I don't see the cash rewards either. Makes me wonder why the hell I was saving up for the £20 option when I could have just individually got the £5s.
@Medic_alert Yep, I think you're spot on. The bubble gives the illusion that everyone wants a certain thing, or is against a certain other thing. Then the market at large tells a totally different story.
Their games weren't even "sh*tty" to be fair. I mean, if you go back to the stuff they were making for PS Vita, maybe. But from Layers of Fear I think their games were fine, some of them even pretty good.
@Northlander "The whole gaming industry is on a course of self destruction."
I'm not sure I agree really. I think we'd see a drop-off in consumers paying for these Ultimate Editions if that was the case, but from my observation — and I don't have data to support it — feels like more and more are coughing up.
I bet the average selling price for successful games in their first month is now higher than $70.
@twitchtvpat Seems likely doesn't it? Maybe a trailer for the movie at The Game Awards and then an announcement of the sequel?
On the subject of the actual movie, I think this is probably the easiest adaptation they're going to do. All it needs to be is your average teen slasher and it works fine as an Until Dawn film.
Reviews will almost certainly be bad but budget will probably be low and will likely make a nice profit if it's competent and well marketed.

Re: Random: Killzone Superfans Want to License the IP from Sony
@Keyblade-Dan It's driving me nuts, too. I really don't understand it.
Re: Random: Killzone Superfans Want to License the IP from Sony
@LowDefAl Freedom Wars is still Sony's IP, though. The trailers for the remaster all say "under license from SIE".
(But I get your point, the original creators wanted to revisit it, which makes the situation a bit different.)

Re: Sep 2024 USA Sales: Astro Bot PS5 a Top Seller, Only FC 25 Above It
@Shad361 Digital sales aren't included for 2K25 which is hurting its chart placement a lot here.
Re: Sep 2024 USA Sales: Astro Bot PS5 a Top Seller, Only FC 25 Above It
Great result for Astro Bot!
Re: These Horizon Zero Dawn PS5 Comparisons Are Absolutely Insane
Nixxes might actually be the best studio Sony acquired haha.
Re: The Latest PS5 Firmware Update Is Available Now, Tweaks Activity Cards
I really like the Welcome Hub.
Re: These Horizon Zero Dawn PS5 Comparisons Are Absolutely Insane
Man this looks so bloody good, and the original was already extremely beautiful. What an upgrade!
Re: Here's When to Watch the Monster Hunter Wilds Showcase Stream
@Drago201 It's not compulsory to watch the livestream. They need to try and sell their game!

Re: Ubisoft Disbands Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Team After Poor Sales, Claims Report
@AdamNovice Was literally just about to say the same thing.
A smaller-scale game with a smaller price point that was universally praised and... No one bought it and the team got disbanded.
So much for making smaller games!
Re: Metal Slug Tactics Not Far Away with 5th November PS5, PS4 Release Date
There's too many games, but this does look amazing. I will play this at some point.
Re: Mini Review: Kong: Survivor Instinct (PS5) - A Repetitive Cinematic Side-Scroller
Thanks for the review, Henry! It's a shame this doesn't really come together because it looks like a great idea!
Re: PS5 Pro Patch for The Last of Us 2 Remastered Already Available Now
@Fishnpeas 🥱
Re: LEGO Pitched the Brilliant LEGO Horizon Adventures to Sony
@Oram77 It's a great game based on what I've played. I think people are going to be surprised.
Re: Sony's Guerrilla Sounds Completely Done with the Killzone Series
Back when Sony was making Killzone, all of the comments on this site were about how everyone hated Killzone.
It's so funny how we come full circle.
Re: PS5 Pro Patch for The Last of Us 2 Remastered Already Available Now
@Oram77 I mean, that's how these things work. It will detect which system you're playing on.
Re: PlayStation, Bungie Still Going Ahead with Internal Live Service Team
While I wouldn't trust Bungie as far as I could throw them, I always find the takes in threads like this one nauseating.
Re: Preview: LEGO Horizon Adventures Is Looking Like the Best LEGO Game Yet
@Bomberman64 It has a fixed camera perspective.
Re: PS5 Pro Adds Ray Tracing to Alan Wake 2 in Big Tech Improvement
@DualWielding I mean, it's always going to be down to the developer.
And to be fair, they've done exactly that: Performance mode on PS5 Pro is an improved version of Quality mode on PS5 at 60fps.
The only alternative would be to tell Remedy they can't experiment with the raytracing, which is ridiculous.
Re: PS5 Pro Adds Ray Tracing to Alan Wake 2 in Big Tech Improvement
@Medic_alert Yeah! Something we've been looking at actually!
Re: PS5 Pro Adds Ray Tracing to Alan Wake 2 in Big Tech Improvement
I always prefer 60fps, but the raytracing looks real nice.
Re: PS5 Pro Adds Ray Tracing to Alan Wake 2 in Big Tech Improvement
I really like how they broke down all their decisions with this. The game looks great!
Re: Preview: LEGO Horizon Adventures Is Looking Like the Best LEGO Game Yet
@Afroducc You are being a grumpy Gus. We got seven Uncharted games and a remaster collection in ten years. No one complained then.
Re: Preview: LEGO Horizon Adventures Is Looking Like the Best LEGO Game Yet
@Titntin No word on PS5 Pro but I'd be surprised if they didn't support it in some way. Watch this space!
Re: Horizon's Sylens Will Be Recast Following the Passing of Lance Reddick
It's really sad but unfortunately they just had no other choice. Sylens is so important to the plot.
Re: Sony Wanted PS5 Exclusivity for Crimson Desert, But Dev Reportedly Declined
@ChrisDeku Could have been similar to Stellar Blade, yes.
Re: Preview: LEGO Horizon Adventures Is Looking Like the Best LEGO Game Yet
@Afroducc There's been three Horizon games in seven years, one of which is a VR spin-off. This is also a spin-off really.
Re: Sony Wanted PS5 Exclusivity for Crimson Desert, But Dev Reportedly Declined
@AhmadSumadi Completely agree.
Re: Preview: LEGO Horizon Adventures Is Looking Like the Best LEGO Game Yet
@NarutosBiggestFan It looks like there's different characters to unlock, yes.
I didn't find any collectibles, which surprised me as I was expecting that to be a big thing based on the previous games.
It doesn't seem like there are unique abilities, but again, we only got to play about 90 minutes from the start of the game.
To me, it seems a little different to other LEGO games; much more focused on gameplay than collectibles and unlockable areas.
Re: Preview: LEGO Horizon Adventures Is Looking Like the Best LEGO Game Yet
@Max_the_German Nope, I don't mean that!
Re: Sony Wanted PS5 Exclusivity for Crimson Desert, But Dev Reportedly Declined
@Frmknst I mean, that's just your opinion, though. I'd say they generally do a very good job with the games they sign.
Re: Preview: LEGO Horizon Adventures Is Looking Like the Best LEGO Game Yet
@Kraven I've been much the same with the LEGO games. Love them conceptually, but never had much fun actually playing them.
This one was fun for me.
Re: Preview: LEGO Horizon Adventures Is Looking Like the Best LEGO Game Yet
@DonJorginho Come back when you've played this one. 👍
Re: Preview: LEGO Horizon Adventures Is Looking Like the Best LEGO Game Yet
Any questions about the game at all, let me know! I had so much fun playing this!
Re: Silent Hill 2 Dev Bloober Team Done with Making 'Sh*tty' Games
Their games weren't even "sh*tty" to be fair. I mean, if you go back to the stuff they were making for PS Vita, maybe. But from Layers of Fear I think their games were fine, some of them even pretty good.
Re: Spider-Man 2 Won't Receive Any PS5 Story DLC
I was going to say, I wonder if they're just going to make the Venom game.
Re: Expedition 33 Dev Confirms $50 Price Is Correct, '30+ Hours of Main Game'
This is impressive. If this game ends up as good as it looks, it could be massive.
Re: Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered Sounds Like a Ridiculously Good PS5 Upgrade
@Gewertzx Personally I like Horizon and don't like Baldur's Gate. But you don't see me entering every BG3 thread crapping on it, do you?
You're entitled to your opinion, of course — but perhaps stop trying to tell everyone else they're wrong.
Plenty of people enjoy this game; let them enjoy it.
Re: We Did a Double Take at NBA 2K25's New PS5 DLC
Yeah I think it looks cool but I'm not really sure who's going to buy and play it. And it appears to be online-only so...
Re: Opinion: The Price of Playing PS5 Games Day One Is Getting Higher and Higher
@McBurn "Personally I find the article a little misleading."
Why? The price to play on day one, for a lot of games, is getting higher than $70 now.

Re: Until Dawn's Movie Lives to See Another Day on 25th April
@CieloAzure To be fair, if they bring the sequels out quicker, people complain they're milking the franchises. Can't win.
Re: Until Dawn's Movie Lives to See Another Day on 25th April
@Tecinthebrain Aren't the original actors way too old to be in a teen slasher now? Malek is like 40, right?

Re: As Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero Explodes, Bandai Namco Is Reportedly Cutting Staff and Projects
I feel like Bamco’s been on a bit of a roll recently, so this is extra concerning.
Re: Sony Goes the Extra Mile for Siren on PS Plus Premium
It’s a really great game, too! I hope more of the ill-fated PS2 on PS4 titles get updated.
