To give them credit, they stupidly put all their hope into live service and realised that was a disaster. It’ll take time for them to roll back and have single players ready to go but they need to just come out and say when they think these will be announced/showcased.
Give us a timeline and then the majority of fans will wait it out.
Doesn’t matter what they present, if they gear most of the showcase towards first party games and the PS5 Pro I’ll be fuming. My PS5 has very little to show for it from a first party viewpoint so I don’t care for a newer machine until this one’s had its day.
Rockstar knows what they’re doing. This was 100% published intentionally. There will be tons of these ‘accidents’ up to release. They love winding the community up and I can’t say it doesn’t make me laugh every time.
I really want sign of life for a new SOCOM game, an update on Splinter Cell and an announcement for Naughty Dog’s next game (albeit all with CGI with a release of years away I’m sure). Oh, and ending with Ghost of Tsushima 2.
Sure they must be fuming at the fact they won’t have a Fallout prepared for YEARS given the success of the show.
As others have said, I think they need to create an original IP outside of the open world formula. Get some extra money and awareness along with experience to go towards their bigger IPs.
I wasn't really into the demo - what are people's thoughts on the game vs the demo?
My main issue with the demo was the area you go to after the initial action scene seemed empty and dead to explore. Are there vast open areas and are there any settlements to explore with NPCs?
@Kidfunkadelic83 Content will always be censored and not just for the sake of it. Sure Last of Us had numerous rewrites to cool down certain content to not overwhelm the story with violence.
It’s not all got to be wild cultural agenda’s and the end result will never be no sex, no gore and no swearing. That will literally never happen. And in countries where that may happen one day well in the future (and even then I really believe it won’t), I’d probably argue that there will be a lot more in those specific countries to fight for outside of gaming censorship. If they’re clamping down on censorship in games, chances are there’s a whole load of laws that will need to be challenged before you get anywhere near gaming..
If I’ve got the PS5 version and addons are showing learn more instead of purchase does it mean I did buy the bundle when I thought I did and it’s bugged or not?
This seems like dangerous territory for any studio given the sheer success of Baldur’s Gate 3. Didn’t Techland say they wanted to go into the fantasy genre after Dying Light?
Fallout 3 and NV will almost definitely get remakes/remasters given the success of Prime series. 100%. I even suggest they do this before Fallout 5. Lot more risks involved in introducing Fallout 5 (judging by quality of 76, can’t rely on it actually being good) to newcomers to the franchise then just updating 3 or NV imo.
@NeonPizza That’s a poor argument. Say this retails at £700, for £800 ish more I can get a 3080 which will far outlive this model and provide me the ability to mod etc.
I’ll wait till next year and see how GTA 6 handles on base PS5. If it’s reported to be bad then I’ll buy the game and PS5 Pro in the inevitable bundle.

Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Sony's State of Play for May 2024?
In the words of Will from The Inbetweeners; ‘well that, was ***** dreadful’.
Re: Xbox Games Are Selling Gangbusters on PS5
14th PS5 game announced in tomorrow’s State of Play you ask? Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Re: PS5, PS4's Brand New PS2 Emulator Features Up-Rendering, Rewind, Quick Saves, More
This is brilliant news.
SOCOM, Black and Simpsons Hit and Run please stand up.
Re: Over 500 Massive PS5, PS4 Games Discounted As Days of Play Gets Underway
@get2sammyb 100% - don’t blame the devs given we’re seeing huge job losses even with these price gains but damn, gaming is an expensive hobby now.
Re: Over 500 Massive PS5, PS4 Games Discounted As Days of Play Gets Underway
There was a day in the not so distant past that you would never see a game on ‘sale’ for £52.49. I miss those days.
Re: Frostpunk 2 Forecasts Post-Apocalyptic Survival Strategy and Cutthroat Politics
@PsBoxSwitchOwner You’re not wrong there. Just hope this one is bug free and any MS deal is for a year maximum.
Re: Frostpunk 2 Forecasts Post-Apocalyptic Survival Strategy and Cutthroat Politics
Not liking the lack of PS5 release date for this one. Hoping for one soon as this looks great!
Remember Cities Skyline II has been announced but has still received no further update for PS5?
Re: Key Sony Exec Gives Eye-Opening Quotes on the Future of PlayStation and Gaming
All talk and ***** all to show for it.
Sums up the PS5 era imo.

Re: New Game from Dan Houser's Absurd Ventures Reportedly Set in Expanded Sci-Fi Universe
Count me intrigued but concerned about gimmicks..
Re: Rockstar Co-Founder Dan Houser's Absurd Ventures Developing 'Open World Action-Adventure' Game
Knowing his Rockstar credentials, I’ll expect this game in 2050.
Re: New PS2 Emulator Appears to Be Imminent on PS5, PS4
@MadCaptain2207 This just kicked me in the nostalgia - I loved that mad game!
I would love SOCOM and there was a game called Black which I loved back in the day too.
Re: Jurassic World Management Sim Under Construction at Frontier Developments
Personally I’d like a new management sim IP so I'm hoping the three they’re working on is:

‘Accidentally’ updated.

Re: It Really Sounds Like the Next Glut of Big PS5 Reveals Is Coming Soon
I really want sign of life for a new SOCOM game, an update on Splinter Cell and an announcement for Naughty Dog’s next game (albeit all with CGI with a release of years away I’m sure). Oh, and ending with Ghost of Tsushima 2.
Re: Sony Doubles Down on Helldivers 2 PSN Requirement by Taking It Off Sale for PC in Numerous Countries
Sure Sony’s Marketing team have really appreciated this decision. Ouch.
Re: Many, Many More Xbox Ports Plotted for PS5, New Speculation Suggests
@Matthewnh Xbox definitely starting the eventual removal of their consoles. Relying on Game Pass and their studios to sell to PC/Sony.
Re: The Elder Scrolls, Fallout Dev Wants to Shorten Time Between Games

Re: Xbox Confirms June Showcase, Bound to Feature Some PS5 Games
Going to get in the wacky theories now.
Announcement that Game Pass is coming to PlayStation by the end of the Summer…

Re: EA Sports F1 24's First Raw Gameplay Looks Typically Solid on the Tarmac
Completely new engine and a vastly different career mode before I purchase the next F1 title and I’m a huge F1 fan.
F1 Manager has a create your own team mode this year so most likely purchasing that instead this year.

Re: Stellar Blade PS5 Fans Irate Over Alleged Censorship
I remember the days of old where gamers cared about gameplay and story.
Suppose most people just want their tit fix these days hey?
Re: Microsoft 'Meeting Players Where They Are' as Xbox Games Among PS Store's Bestsellers
I see you Microsoft Flight Simulator. Come on over to the dark side mate.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Fallout 4's Next-Gen Version?
If I’ve got the PS5 version and addons are showing learn more instead of purchase does it mean I did buy the bundle when I thought I did and it’s bugged or not?
Re: Fallout 4 Next Gen Version Is Out Now on PS5, Xbox, and PC
All of my add ons under the PS5 version are on ‘Learn More’. I’m not purchasing anything until they solve that…
Re: Fallout 4 Next Gen Update Release Times: When Can You Play the New Version?
One hell of an article when you don’t have facts for most of it.
I know that’s not your fault and it’s an impending release which is pretty dominant in the news but yeah, not much known 😂
Re: Fallout Games Attract 5 Million Users in One Day Due to Popularity Surge
Well deserved. What a show. I just can't wait for the next gen update for Fallout 4.
Re: Star Wars Outlaws Will Feature Galaxy's Most Infamous Card Game
In-game currency?
That’ll be £50.99 for 5 tokens my friend.
Re: Wizards of the Coast Already Courting Multiple Studios to Develop Next Baldur's Gate
This seems like dangerous territory for any studio given the sheer success of Baldur’s Gate 3. Didn’t Techland say they wanted to go into the fantasy genre after Dying Light?
Re: Fresh PS5 Pro Report Reiterates Sony Demands for Upgraded Games
I’ll be waiting a year before purchasing to check developers are actually making use of the console.
Re: Fallout Beginner's Guide: Best Game to Start With
Fallout 3 and NV will almost definitely get remakes/remasters given the success of Prime series. 100%. I even suggest they do this before Fallout 5. Lot more risks involved in introducing Fallout 5 (judging by quality of 76, can’t rely on it actually being good) to newcomers to the franchise then just updating 3 or NV imo.
Re: Rockstar's GTA+ Membership Putting Its Price Up
@Cutmastavictory Agreed. I can see it now:
Buy GTA 6 Standard Edition for the base game for £89
And for a small sum join GTA+ and get access to:
Re: PS Stars Rewards Now Include Top PS5 Games Rise of the Ronin, Helldivers 2, More
Thanks to this post I’ve realised I could get £45 in credit. Holy crap, nice one Pushsquare!
Re: Stellar Blade Download Size Will Respect Your PS5 Storage
Patch one coming in at a small 200GB
Re: Two Star Wars Outlaws Expansions Will Arrive After PS5 Launch
These prices are just killing the industry. Bloody hell.
Re: Star Wars Outlaws PS5 Release Date Leaked Ahead of New Story Trailer Drop
Can’t wait for this one. High hopes indeed.
Re: Sea of Thieves Reportedly a 'Key Test' for More Xbox Games on PS5
Xbox have already decided they will bring games over: executives are going to push these thoughts to journalists in order to sell as best they can.
Dev kits are already known to be out and work is already being done so this games success depending on it working is rubbish imo.
Re: Sea of Thieves PS5 Offers Progress and Item Transfers, PlayStation-Only Servers
Not interested in this game at all but those efforts to really link up gameplay across devices has to be applauded.
Re: Free Skins and New Game+ for Stellar Blade After PS5 Launch
Not completely loving the focus on Eve’s body and outfits.
Great news about MTX of course but a bit more focus about the wider game would be nice.
Re: Not Everyone Is in Love with Dragon's Dogma 2 on PS5
Been toying with buying this or finally getting around to Elden Ring.
Elden Ring coming out as a favourite possibly.
Re: PlayStation Fans Torn on Prospect of PS5 Pro
It really depends on the price for me. I don’t see it being under £700 by which point I’ll stick with my gaming laptop and base PS5 thanks.
Re: Planet Zoo: Console Edition - A Tame But Charming Zoo 'Em Up
I played this on PC but as soon as I got to bridges etc I had a headache with keyboard and mouse.
Delighted when I knew this was coming to console and splashed out on Ultimate Edition.
Killing zombies, driving cars and creating zoos. My game library has more variety then Netflix.
Re: PS5 Pro's Rumoured Spectral Super Resolution Tech Could Be Transformative

Re: PS5 Pro's Rumoured Spectral Super Resolution Tech Could Be Transformative
This console is going to be way too expensive for.. a console, isn’t it?
Re: Mini Review: Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator (PS5) - Taxi Sim Stalls on Arrival
So happy I didn’t purchase this - I was very close to as well…
Re: Rumour: PS5 Pro Is Up to Three Times Faster Than PS5 as Specs Surface
