that's just unrealistic. besides sony will already be selling the console at a loss just like the ps4. so they can't go to low either since then it could be damaging them.
death stranding is for sure a game you have to play before you can make a realisitc impression.
you could say that about most games but this game in particular needs your hands on before making a decicion about liking it or not.
while the gameplay seems boring from the trailers,it's actually rather addiciting. you can't write it off as a walking simulator because the game has way more depth than that. plus some suprising shooter sections aswell.
it seems to be a slow burner sales but with a increasing number of sales so that's awesome.
again it is best to set expectations on a realistic level just because sony won't reveal everything at the event.
some games but not all with gameplay for example,no price reveal either.
i'm not holding this against sony at all,but just as a warning to all those people who have a habbit of expecting way to much and than calling out sony as it's somehow their fault.
i'm thinking that we could see the console but in a render,some excusives such as bluepoint's game perhaps with gameplay as a launch game,a HZD 2 teaser,a current gen game runing on ps5 to show off load times in action,maybe a hint at what the san diego studio is making (uncharted),next gen gran turismo reveal as a launch game with some gameplay. maybe a silent hill suprise aswell.
no word on GOW2,no price reveal as they will play cat and mouse with MS for that.
i know the event is not even confirmed yet,but still putting my 2 cents on what we can see on a realisitc level.
make everything equal for all regions. same sales,same release dates of hardware/software.
sony themselves said they aim to release the ps5 on the same date worldwide,so gone are the days that the US get the hardware first in this case. maybe they aim to that with everything PS related hence the sudden change in the blog. no need to have region specific blogs anymore,when everything will be the same worldwide as the US one we have now.
i think all the work went into the remake and this remaster was a rush job so they could have all the mafia games on current platforms. perhaps to brace ourselves for mafia 4.
watch the idiotic part of the internet send the kid (now an adult most likely) all kinds of nasty messages and even death threads because of this now...
ofcourse this does not include a possible day 1 patch.
i am finishing up some games so when TLOU2 and GOT come out i should have enough free space again. i always delete my games the moment i finished them anyway. come to think of it,the game i installed on my ps4 atm are not that big in size either.
the fact that MS thought that the OG plans for the xbox one back then would be liked by the fans is mindboggling.
i don't know what their thought process was. trying to be "modern" but without thinking the plans through? a little bit of complacency since the xbox 360 was back then a very popular console (kinda like sony's complacency back in 2006. so they thought they could get away with it?
call me crazy but i still deep inside think that this tech demo could be an actuall sneakpeek at the next uncharted game running on this engine but with a different character skin to not give it away lol.
even the climbing and sound effects look and sound very uncharted esque. than there's the fact that was runing on a ps5.
again just me being crazy but still fun to think about.
@thefirst "How cool would it be if they let you make your own Dynamic background themes with photo mode? It would actually give photo mode a real purpose."
this could very well be a new ps5 feature we don't know about yet.
they most likely teased them to yes stop the questions but also to win back some favour because of the fallout 76 doubts.
not to mention that most of the 2018 bethesda show was mobile stuff,so they had to put something in to atleast get a couple of genuine claps and cheers.
replaying the TLOU again to set myself up for the sequel.
i'm in the forest with ellie. 1 of my favourite parts of the game aswell. it's a nice change of scenery and ellie is just fun to play as with her stealthy bow. she realy grows as a character during that part.
no matter what the haters say about the sequel,i'm looking forward to it and expecting to fall in love with the game.
a proud ND and TLOU fan here!
i just have the impression that all the hatred is because of PC reasons since that's all what the youtubers talk about.
saying that ND is wrong for pushing an agenda,that the game is woke etc. it's all over youtube and that's what the majority of the haters on youtubers talk about as the reason.
we all knew some F***d stuff was gonna happen to characters in the game because that's what all our expectations where and the misery and loss and violence are some of the core elements in the first game.
it's just sad and discusting that so many people can't stand seeing more fragile groups being represented in a game. all it does is enforce the basement dwelling gamer steroptype to the "outsiders" and it restricts writers and creativity.
funny that despite that bandwagon hate the game is still amazon's best seller in the US,UK,france and brazil.
so all those youtubers stating that the "woke" story of the game will hurt their sales are already proven wrong.
but then again as with most cases,most people saying they won't buy a game for whatever reason end up buying it anyway. proving there's no credit or base for their complaints,as even they don't actually end up holding on to it.
thing is when the "leak" about this month's lineup showed up (the one with dark souls) lot's of people on here also complained it was not a good month.
same when that false leak with crash happened.
this just shows that that the only people they should blame is themselves for not knowing what they want.
if it's a good AAA month they complain that they already have the game,if it's a AA month they complain that the games are just average,if it's an indie month,they complain that the games are stupid or to small.
it's about time those people just sign off ps plus just so we won't hear their contradicting drivel anymore.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 326
so if sammy is already playing through it again after just finishing it,that bodes well for the review!
tnx for the unintentional hint sammy!
btw i'm still playing jedi fallen order. that bat thing bossfight.
Re: The Last of Us 2 Tracking Better Than Spider-Man PS4 Pre-Orders in Europe
@get2sammyb that ignore function seems real tempting right now.
Re: The Last of Us 2 Tracking Better Than Spider-Man PS4 Pre-Orders in Europe
still salty about sammy playing this already. hell he most likely already beat it!
Re: The Last of Us 2 Tracking Better Than Spider-Man PS4 Pre-Orders in Europe
and this is why the coments saying "i canceled my pre order" are never to be taken srsly.
it's the number 1 game on amazon in the US,UK,france and brazil.
says enough.

Re: PS5 Will Represent the Best Possible Value, Says Sony
@Dodoo they did sell each unit at a loss. obviously made up by the millions units sold each year.
Re: PS5 Will Represent the Best Possible Value, Says Sony
@Svark prices will be roughly the same.
just don't expect it be as cheap as 400 dollars.
that's just unrealistic. besides sony will already be selling the console at a loss just like the ps4. so they can't go to low either since then it could be damaging them.
Re: PS5 Event Confirmed, Over an Hour of PS5 Games Will Be Shown Next Week
@JJ2 yep. i always thought we would get it in different collours at launch anyway. just like the ps5 itself perhaps?

Re: Regional PlayStation Blog Sites Now Point to One Single Location
@Quintumply could be a good change.
make everything equal for all regions. same sales,same release dates of hardware/software.

Re: Talking Point: Will You Be Buying The Last of Us 2?
it's these little details that make ND best in class.
their games always feel a bit next gen when playing them for the first time.
Re: Talking Point: Will You Be Buying The Last of Us 2?
@playstation1995 there probably will. ND games do have a thing for secondary playable characters. but don't expect more than 1 chapter though.
Re: Talking Point: Will You Be Buying The Last of Us 2?
i'll pre order it soon.
and yes i was always gonna buy it.
what a gameplay showcase yet again!
some interesting story beats with new character for sure.
sammy any word on those new secret infected for let's say 100 bucks?
Re: Site News: Yes, We're Playing The Last of Us 2

Re: Mafia II: Definitive Edition - There's Nothing Definitive About This Awful Remaster

jedi fallen order.
not much of a star wars fan but i still enjoy it regardless. it's a great looking game aswell.
Re: Naughty Dog Blocks The Last of Us 2 Trolls with New Twitter Feature
it's good they do this.
thing is if another company did this,for example CD project red,the people would praise them saying they are looking out for the community.
but since this game features some open minded politics the biggots just want to shut it down.

Re: Ghost of Tsushima Will Take Up At Least 50GB of Space on Your PS4
tbh these days that is a rather modest size.
ofcourse this does not include a possible day 1 patch.

Re: Talking Point: Will You Be Buying Ghost of Tsushima?
@thefirst "How cool would it be if they let you make your own Dynamic background themes with photo mode? It would actually give photo mode a real purpose."
this could very well be a new ps5 feature we don't know about yet.
Re: Ghost of Tsushima Gameplay Blowout Shows Combat, Exploration, Customisation, and More
love the stealth kills.
also why would ubisoft even bother making a AC in japan after seeing this? it would always feel lackluster compared to GOT.
the BW is cool but i'm not going to use it,it seems to be wasting the collor pallet of the game. still great for those who do want it though.
TLOU2 and GOT are 2 heck of console gen swan songs!
TLOU2 is still my nr1 game but this is a very very close second.
Re: Talking Point: Will You Be Buying Ghost of Tsushima?
sold.

Damn that looks good!
Re: Mafia Trilogy Announcement Teased for Next Week
an announcement of mafia 4 can't be too far away now can it?
it would be an ideal way to get people interested in the trillogy.
Re: PS5 Unreal Engine 5 Demo Gives Us In-Depth Look at Next-Gen Graphics
seeing this i can't see how a few more TF will make games look much better on xbox.
sure for the very trained eyes perhaps but even than,can you realy say that the ps5 is missing out after seeing this?
i know it's just a tech demo but still.

@LiamCroft alright than. it seems i was wrong.
Re: The Elder Scrolls 6 News and Details Are Still Years Away
@LiamCroft realy? i thougt i remembered it being more mobile centered.
maybe i have my years mixed up?
Re: The Elder Scrolls 6 News and Details Are Still Years Away
they most likely teased them to yes stop the questions but also to win back some favour because of the fallout 76 doubts.

Re: PlayStation Store Suspended Indefinitely in China
“Xbox fanboy claimed on Weibo that they reported to authorities certain back door elements that are easily accessible to switch to overseas services”
apparently the idiot that did this has 3 accounts. 1 as a xbox fanboy,1 as a nintendo fanboy and the other as a sony fanboy.
just a clown whose already limited braincells have melted into dust because of the lockdowns.

Re: The Last of Us 2 Is Naughty Dog's 'Most Ambitious Game'
@kyleforrester87 was there anything regarding the length of the story?
i remember someone saying it's more than 20 hours long which would be a first for ND and great since i will have more time to enjoy the story.

Re: The Last of Us 2 Is Naughty Dog's 'Most Ambitious Game'
@get2sammyb exactly.
most people just join the bandwagon to get easy likes on the internet.
but their true collors are only proven when they actually refuse to buy the game for real. which so far has not happened.
Re: The Last of Us 2 Is Naughty Dog's 'Most Ambitious Game'

@get2sammyb maybe you can do another AC related one but a bit more in depth.
examples could be guessing target names,protag's surnames,some MD related questions etc.
