You summed it up perfectly in your article. "The Game Awards are little more than a self-obsessed advertising platform". So let it go. Love the games you love and don't worry about awards. Awards are for the creators to accept, if they care either.

Yet another reason why this is a joke. I don't care one bit for this. I can watch trailers when they show up online.

Game Awards Show is not for gamers, more for creators and definitely advertisers. I don't care.

@carlos82 I thought I recognized that screenshot.

I want some Astro Bot stuff but this is pricey and not my style.

Did Capcom ever fix the PC port performance issues?

I get it. I really only care about what games are being worked on and releasing.

I think my biggest issue is how many live service titles they are making at one time. We all know this is a big gamble and you just lost big time with Concord. Would have been easier to take if that was the only one in development.

Count me as one of those people that is less productive WFH. But I'm also commenting on this video while at the main office, so...

@AhmadSumadi Not sure yet about the new game in development, but I'd love to see the original Fable trilogy remastered for PS5.

Changes nothing. For $700 the Pro should include a disc drive and a stand. If people want to buy it w/o those then have a cheaper option for them. Come on.

Creativity or not, I just want fun games.

@UltimateOtaku91 Really hyped to play the Sky series remakes. Albedo rocks!

Just don't look, just don't look...or just don't buy games as early access. It may not go away like the advertising monsters from the Simpsons, but companies make less money when we resist this trend. I understand it's hard, but it's only a few days wait. Or wait months if you can for patches to drop.

@LavenderShroud The others listed are veteran voice actors but I do see your point.

The only game stuff I sell online is decades old and not available in stores anymore. And I always sell as Auction only, not high Buy It Now. In this day and age, unless you can pre-order it, this is what happens with Limited CE. It sucks.

Super excited for this. More DQ games are welcome.

Very much looking forward to Metaphor. Thanks for the review.

Been waiting for this. Sweet!

Looks great. Sucker Punch is one of the best in the biz.

That's a pretty low bar for the time frame. Legit gamers could still flip it but it's better than nothing at all for Japan. Selling a limited edition item w/o thinking about resellers jumping ahead of real fans is stupid Sony. You did this back with the PS4 and learned nothing?

I wish Square Enix would change their mind on this. Maybe it's time they lower their expectations.

@Czar_Khastik We'd need to abbreviate, make people more confused. How about BFN "Buy for now."

@tameshiyaku That's the general sentiment for many reasons. Netflix could maybe be seen that way too. Not sure of if any of their exclusive anime has made it to home video thus far, which is my biggest gripe. I like owning my favorites on Blu-Ray.

@jrt87 Thanks for your effort. I tried to get several of the "attempt to buy" listings removed earlier in the week but was denied.

For those of us that aren't interested in upgrading to a PS5 Pro, Sony should really sell the 30th Anniversary PS5 covers. Come on!

Ghost of Yotei, Kain 1+2 and Lunar remastered. I rarely pre-order games but will be doing so when the Lunar physical edition is announced. I've never had a chance to play Lunar and have heard nothing but great things.

Bummer, 2026 is ways off.

Awesome! Had no idea. Never had them in my PS1 days and they are too $$$ now for the real thing. I hope they are good ports and available physically.

Perfect marriage. Very intrigued.

They cannot go wrong with more Astro Bot. Glad to see the studio head start it off.

Looks sweet! Gave me the spaghetti western feel too with the trailer music.

@TheBigK Probably my favorite reveal. I missed Lunar back in my PS1 days.

Good news for sure.

Edit: Great news, will get the physical.

All the listings I saw last night on ebay are gone. Not sure if they were removed by ebay or what. I tried to report them as a "chance listing" but was rejected by customer service.

It's one thing to jack up the price on a verified pre-order, this is just swindling someone out of their money. You'd be better off spending $10k on gambling. I still think these should not be limited.

Report to ebay as chance listing: "Listings that offer an opportunity to win an item by chance or contest are not allowed on eBay."

Definitely looking forward to this. It's like a visual novel?

Lots of comments to read, just going to give my 2 cents. I really really hope Sony learns from this, whatever that means, and changes. The PS5 Pro might say different but this all happened so close together.

Ugh. Why can't Sony sell the cool covers for our PS5? How about giving us the trinkets for being a PSN paid member? I would love the retro PS5 box art as a poster.

If I need a review I use other gamers and content creators I trust. Examples: SwitchUp, Happy Console Gamer, Gameranx, etc. I don't rely on Meta Critic or anything like it.

The van looks like a LEGO build and I love it.

You always need to consider resellers / scalpers in this equation. Look on ebay in a couple weeks and see how many PS5 drives are for sale.

Yeah, if you want a PS5 just get the slim, either digital or with the optical drive. Earlier this year I traded in my PS4 and got a PS5 with the optical drive for about $300 in cash. No complaints.

I was perfectly okay to pay $500 for a PS5 with disc drive. $300 more for a Pro version is just too much of a bump. If Sony had come out at $100-$150 more for the Pro, I don't think we'd see this much backlash. This is only for the hardcore of hardcore. Casual fans and average consumers are not going to buy this.

That's cool. Hopefully there will be more characters added, including from 3rd party games.

Good grief. Can't we give Astro Bot some more time? The game just came out last week. And you state yourself in the article this is for "physical UK sales for Astro Bot." So no digital sales numbers, and just one region, in less than 7 days.

Yikes. The PS4 Pro was $399 when it came out, the same price as the regular PS4 when it was first released. The PS5 digital was $399 so it's $300 more for a Pro?

I hope Bend's next game breaks sales records and has great reviews. But I have a feeling that won't change his attitude.

There are only a few franchises I can think of that buck the trends. God of War and Ratchet from the PS2 era, Gran Turismo from PS1 era. Maybe there are some others as well. I do wish Sony would make more games using older IPs, and give them to a different studio. They don't need to be made by the original developers if they are busy. Does a new Sly or Jak game really need to be AAA?

I never knew there was a connection, that's really awesome.
