@TheAmbienWalrus I'm honestly surprised it hasn't happen already, especially EA football game, ads boards surrounding footballs. I suspect that may be FIFA ban it.

@Fyz306903 They might actually shut that loss making division down. Sony has a nice business making shows for other streaming network, netflix and apple and HBO who front the money and thr risk and Sony just takes profit's from charging for producing the content.
That would be a cheaper strategy than trying to turnaround paramount+ which has loss billions.

@ED_209 they can license out the content to third party studios to create games exclusively to PlayStation Console and may be even a exclusive pc gaming store that I'm sure they will eventually launch.

Apollo money and Sony management. What could go wrong!!! I do see a bit of potential and Sony and Apollo can probably up their bid to 30bn if Sony start to put their own money into the bid. An of they take the same approach to some of their music acquisitions I seem them acquiring control overtime.

Playing through immortals of Aveum. A fun game. That deserve way more sales than it got.

I had the game. Can't remember the tutorial being that tough to be honest. But I was a demon when it comes to driving games on ps1.

@Pat_trick of cause.

@Anke When there is zero potential for a mega hit like Helldivers 2.

@Maubari Helldivers 2 has a thing or two to say about people not wanting these games.

I tried playing it but could only get 1 game in a hour of trying. If you can't play it there no point to the game.

@tameshiyaku It good to have a diverse set of gaming products. As long as you don't have shareholders demand you plow everything into the most profitable thing you do.

@Drago201 Same as GTA5 in some markets.

@sonicmeerkat Knack 2 will come when they are about to release knack 3.

I will certainly give Immortals of Aveum a try.

This might be one of the first games that truly unlocking the power of PS5 and Xbox Series x.

@StrickenBiged The writers may even have to be more than just writers, they may have to expand their skill set to be AI trainers as well and may be world builders to ensure no matter what us idiot gamers say, we all end up basically with the same ending or one of a number of endings and they can get their story told.

@Bamila That was essentially just a bit of programming that took text, run it through ChatGPT and then show it response to the player.

Those characters could say anything through, even things unrelated to the game or to the character themselves. a accountant could talk about massages or how it was like being a premier league footballer.

Building a system that allows you talk to a character but it response is inline with that character views and inline with the world that character live, you don't want medieval peasants talking about PS5s or aliens in the distant future discussing how terrible of a soap opera Eastenders is.

What we actually want is to be able to tell a drug dealer that drugs are great, an elicit a response of the drug dealer agreeing with you.

Tell a doctor that drugs are great and you will get a response of the doctor disagreeing with you, may be even a story of how drug have has harmed of their patients. Tell the police that you have drugs on you, you want them to arrest you or least die trying.

Where the matrix demo will likely get ChatGPT to produce the same answer for all characters, drugs are bad, here a number to help you give up drugs.

Probably should have done this as their first game, not spent a 100 million plus of investor money on developing the flop the Callisto Protocol. Does anyone actually wants a sequel to that game?

Anyway this look like their last throw of the dice to keep the studio alive. Hope it goes well for them and they can make some money for the studio an its poor investors.

This looks nuts.

@Player_1_Ready PS6 wasn't wasn't supposed to come out until presumably November 2028.

I honestly don't expect Xbox to be much more powerful then the pro. I think they realise they screwed up on having to separate system with different capabilities and want to correct that by releasing what is essentially pro version of Xbox and get rid of S and X.

Ace combat is tempting.

Not a take over but I do wonder if Sony will ask them if they can take an play test some of their GAAS games

Well I nab Star Wars Squadron, Mass Effect Legendary condition, Bioshock, I don't know when I will get time play any of them through!

@AK4tywill Twisted Metal seem just about perfect for the live service treatment as well.

I want to get into this game before all the Meta take over an the game and players becomes to serious. So will be buying it this week.

@breakneck If they do, it unlikely to be in France, where sacking people is hard, an expensive and time consuming.

probably wiggling their thumbs trying to make sense of the code they are looking, realising they haven't actually done any real coding years or art creation or testing or aka any real work in years.

@WanderWhere It been like a week, Given Sony a minute.

Why try and replicate it, it would be easier and safer for Sony to acquire Arrowhead instead.

@Deityjester Sony directly funded FF7 remake, the project wouldn't have happen without Sony money.

For the same reason why you won't bring Starfield to PS5. Anyway Xbox has had it own exclusive success recently in Palworld. So stop crying Phil spencer.

@bighal it more or less is a live service game.

I guess the question is will they keep sharing the profits with steam or expand the Playstation store to PC. If they do the later they can keep advertising it as a Playstation exclusive.

@DennisReynolds as long as they don't spend more than 50 million it will probably turn a profit.

@Camlambelot The wait for the definite version of ff7 remake combining everything together into a single game will be longer.

A wise move. People seem to have chosen their opinions about this game before playing it. Which is unprofessional for reporters but the game industry is full of reporter hacks.

An we'll sadly seem to be standard for some gamers to hate games before they have even played them sadly.

@Shepherd_Tallon not exactly. I know two people have mental health issues who because they didn't have the stress of working in the office and travelling to and from clients their mental health improved. One has even come off the anti depressants. She the only one at her place of work that is allowed to work from home because even her boss didn't want to see her return to how she was before COVID.

She probably make more money just posting a few pics onlyfans given how thirsty fans are. Use it to buy a house and build a pension.

@Slippship I wouldn't be surprised if EA wants Sony to pay for it

Well presuming there some logic at Sony, a state of play at the end of February would match 2023. Given they got some big games coming it make sense.

Where is the none because Christmas has left me stint option. Through I do have 45 quid in Amazon vouchers, so might by one of last year's games on there.

@kcarnes9051 An Square Enix will almost deliver a next generation update

FF7 remake is going to be epic when it fully released in 2030 for the ps6

@LifeGirl They will look real idiots when Hogwarts take home awards at the BAFTAs, it up for 9

@PinderSchloss The people of FF13 still remembered the glory days of FF7, FF8 FF9, by FF13 we were angry that Square Enix screwed up such a brilliant run of games. By FF16 we have accepted the simple fact that we are never going back to those glory days.

@Th3solution or not. Given Sony investment in FF, I wouldn't plan on playing it on anything other PS5 for a long time.

This is how FF should be. All this prequels and sequels and side stories just dilute the brand. Create a new world,. Create some great characters, port the fan favourites like cid over , tell us their story, move on to the next world. Simple. Square Enix has complicated and diluted ff brand way to much over the years.

Onwards to ff17 .

It could be a slow burner, it on my list for things my family can get me for Christmas. I will be buying a bunch of game in January as well.

Sony has the Spiderman film rights as bargaining chip to get them a special deal on Spiderman game rights.

I thought it was the new Mass Effect game! I looks pretty good through.
