Might as well not tell us; a 16 year old spotty male gamer will screenshot/film any scene featuring a tit or penis anyway so we’ll all know by release date what’s in it.
This could mean anything really so need to see a trailer or gameplay to understand it fully.
Naughty Dog’s cinematic and plot, whether you like it or not, has become distinctly them. Therefore I’m slightly at a loss if they’ve decided to steer really far from that.
I actually don’t think it’s related to the outrage.
Apparently they’ve pulled previews of Shadows which leads me to believe it’s getting a delay. Maybe after Star Wars Outlaws reception and their general dip in sales for fear and knowledge of bugs, Ubisoft might finally be taking the right approach.
Got this lined up thanks to Game Pass. I am hoping it’ll be a bit easier to survive for a bit longer than the first. Found the first enjoyable but could only play for about half an hour before losing.
Hate to be a sceptic but does this stink slightly of Sony worrying that Rockstar are about to delay GTA 6 (most of the reason for the pro IMO) and are therefore having to announce it very quickly to try and appeal to people before it happens…?
Given how quickly Concord died, I’ll give this one up until it’s beta free weekend before Sony pulls the plug and pushes out an urgent statement saying it’ll no longer make any live service game.
I have a weird feeling with this. Feels like they’re getting outlets to leak this to test the waters and then if enough people are against it, the leaks will magically move to ‘Sony have actually been working on a PS6 this whole time and will put proposed PS5 Pro tech into it’ and it won’t come out for another 2-3 years. If the idea of a PS5 Pro sounds positive to enough of the community for their liking then they’ll green light it.
I just don’t understand how this has been leaked for nearly a year now with no word from Sony at all.
@pharos_haven Nothing like it, in a good way. Much more story focused.
Everything I read about The Beast gets me more excited by it. Techland really making up for past mistakes. Having said that I actually enjoyed Dying Light 2. Think it was hated on unfairly.
All business speak and clever use of statistics. PC numbers have done them well as you point out, highly doubt people have been using PlayStations specifically very much at all this year in comparison to previous years.
But hey, I’m the enthusiast who would believe that I suppose.
Regardless if I’m right or wrong, it’s been the most woeful single party generation PlayStation’s ever had for quality… and quantity.
This looks incredible and I’m so pumped for it. I can only imagine ‘that moment’ will be the most viral piece of TV ever. Those who haven’t played the game will be shocked and those that have will be super intrigued to see it play out in ‘reality’.
It’s not needed; let’s get a single party PS5 game which pushes the console to its maximum. Once done then we can think of the next console. I truly don’t believe we’ve seen anything which pushes the PS5 yet…
I won’t be playing it. I don’t want PlayStation to become a live service brand and I support them for their single player games which they are known for.
Sad to see Push Square counting everyone as ‘haters’ to gain some article traction in a previous article.
You have to make a stand to steer a company’s direction sometimes and if this happens out of Concord’s failure then so be it. We all paid for a console and regularly put money in their pockets for subscriptions and games, and I didn’t do that to support the rise of live service and the neglect of what they’re renowned for.

There’s a PS5 Pro? Barely heard about such a thing!

Re: Video: 2025 Is Shaping Up to Be PS5's Best Year Yet
Next year is outrageous. And I’m pretty sure we’ll get the Wolf Among Us sequel too!
Re: Opinion: The Price of Playing PS5 Games Day One Is Getting Higher and Higher
I really wanted a recent Final Fantasy game but couldn’t believe all of the most recent are, at a minimum, £50 still. Madness.
Re: The Last of Us Season 2 Debuts in 2025, Here's Your First Look
This is pure cinema.
Re: Ghost of Yotei Is the Ghost of Tsushima Sequel We Needed, Slashing to PS5 in 2025
I am once again here to say that 2025 is STACKED.
But I can’t wait.

Re: Sony Appears to Leak Many Games from State of Play
This ‘leak’ wasn’t a leak. Sony’s way of managing expectations.
However, I am interested by the other 5 games though.

Really hoping The Beast (Dying Light) gets a release date

And here we go….
…..for the Days Gone Remaster
Re: God of War Ragnarok PC Review Bombed Over PSN Requirement
The sheer crap people sign up for these days and the permissions we grant social media, and yet this is the line. Mad.
Re: Fresh Marathon Details Cover Heroes, Pricing, and Bungie's Silence
Wake me up in 2026 when we hopefully hear of a single non-live, non-coop focused game.*
*Specifically single party before I get rear ended with comments purposely misunderstanding my point
Re: State of Play Rumoured for This Month As Sony Looks Set to Skip PS Showcase in 2024
Not remotely shocked anymore.
I mean, why even bother making any kind of effort to tell your fanbase what you’re working on.. hey?
Re: Talking Point: Is PS5 Pro Way Too Expensive?
Sadly feels like the end of consoles for me. If this is the cost of a mid gen refresh then PS6 will be diabolical.
Re: PS5 Pro Can Run PS4 Games Better Via Improved Backwards Compatibility
Could tell me it breeds animals and I wouldn’t pay that price for a console.
Re: Ubisoft Investor Calls for Company to Go Private, and CEO Yves Guillemot to Be Replaced
If PlayStation owned Ubisoft and had access to IP it would actually be incredible. Chuck Far Cry at Santa Monica and get them both to work on it.

Re: Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown Review (PS5) - Flawless Driving Stalled by Technical Issues and a Lacking Hong Kong
This game has massively slipped past me. Huge racing fan but haven’t been aware of its existence.
However, between bugs and a terrible setting I’ll have to bow out anyway. Shame to be honest.
Re: Internal Sony Fairgame$ Chatter Is Reportedly Quite Positive

Re: PS5, PC Shooter Concord Dead on Arrival, Is Being Taken Offline This Week as Dev 'Explores Options'
Now, focus on the non-live service games you’ve spent decades perfecting Sony for f***** sake.
Re: Final Fantasy 16 Seems to Be Free on PS Plus Extra, Premium Now
A game I haven’t played and really want to would become available on Extra the day after I move from Premium to Essential.
Course it would…
Re: Round Up: Star Wars Outlaws Reviews Are Hit and Miss
I’ll get it on sale.

Re: Sony to Short-Change PS Stars Members with PS Plus Renewals Starting Next Year
Aside from the fact that at this point they may as well just cull it completely, did anyone read the email? It was written so badly.
Re: Indiana Jones PS5 Is a Huge Game with Many Secrets to Uncover
Shall test it on game pass on Series S and if it’s as good as I hope it is, I’ll buy it on PS5 for the better visuals
Re: Sci-Fi Shooter Sequel Revenge of the Savage Planet Announced, Coming 'Early-ish' 2025
Another 2025 game. 2025 is bloaaaated.
Re: Preview: Dying Light: The Beast Pulls a Lost Legacy as DLC Turned Full PS5 Game Impresses
@pharos_haven Nothing like it, in a good way. Much more story focused.
Everything I read about The Beast gets me more excited by it. Techland really making up for past mistakes. Having said that I actually enjoyed Dying Light 2. Think it was hated on unfairly.
Re: Standalone Spin-Off Dying Light: The Beast Stars Kyle Crane on PS5
@pyrrhic_victory Yup - confirmed by himself and Techland!
Re: Directive 8020 Is the Next Dark Pictures Horror from Supermassive Games, Coming to PS5
2025 is ridiculous. Really feel a lot of devs will struggle with big games at this point because the year is stacked.
Re: Standalone Spin-Off Dying Light: The Beast Stars Kyle Crane on PS5
So I was really dumb buying the deluxe version of Dying Light 2 when I only got one story DLC then hey?
I’ll be expecting some money back or this for free then Techland…
EDIT: Techland have confirmed on Twitter that Ultimate Edition purchasers will get this for free. Great news!

Re: God of War Dev's New PlayStation IP Sounds Like It's Taking Shape
Not getting overly excited until I know it’s not a live service..
Re: Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Locks in Gameplay Showing for Gamescom
Currently playing the first game on Xbox and despite its irritating save mechanic and completely incomprehensible tutorials, I’m having a great time.
Apparently this is the game they had hoped to make the first time but couldn’t due to funding etc so looking forward to it.

I would, but I really really don’t want to do that tutorial which I know I’d have to. Get me an update to skip that crap and I’m on it.

Saw the word crisis and thought it said Time Crisis!!! Man I would love for that game to comeback.

Re: GTA 6 Fans Nervous As GTA Online Locks Crucial Quality of Life Feature Behind GTA+ Sub on PS5, PS4
I put it a couple of months ago and I’ll say it again; they will lock the full GTA 6 map behind this paywall. 100%.
