@Art_Vandelay Don't think Bethesda had a choice, the Trump family was either going to appoint someone they didn't like to the board or sale their share on the open market.

So layoff aren't actually neccessary, they are just happening because the bosses fear Sony might step and sack them. Talk about sacrificing people for own benefit. I hope bungie bosses can sleep at night because I know I couldn't.

This needs to be challenged in the courts

Visuals look good. But we will have to wait to see how the rest turn out. Look like Amazon is actually spending some pennies on what we see on screen for once.

@Jireland92 Because to get the games to play at the same fidelity as PS5/X reliably you would need to spend about twice to three times the money on a brand new PC. An even then as we saw with Ratchet & Clank, it won't necessarily play the same way.

@TheCollector316 How long before Microsoft is only release games on their own store on the PC and cutting out Epic and Valve.

Right now I think the only thing that might turn the tide for Microsoft, is Microsoft going to take-two with a check book an asking how much money is it going to take to get us a 18 months exclusivity for GTA6, I doubt Microsoft would get much change from 2 billion but that the only strategy I think might actually turn the tide and put Microsoft in any kind of shape to win the next gen.

@gollumb82 X is a great console, S just confuses the picture and complicates the development of games.

Microsoft would be crazy to go for the same strategy again next generation. People and developers like consoles because they are simple, one platform, one set of hardware, one controller.

@RadioHedgeFund The argument people make is that online purchase games should be cheaper because Sony isn't paying for the disk, the box, rent for the store, staff wages to stack shelves.
To me however this is just another method the industry have used to keep prices of games the same despite dev cost sky rocketing.

@UltimateOtaku91 Mojang sold out. The owner couldn't handle the pressure of running a company the size Mojang turned into. Also as a independent they needed more games an he couldn't handle the pressure of what people would think of his new games an comparing it to mine craft.

@theMEGAniggle instead you get ai trainers who trained the ai to respond in ways suitable for your game. You will still need writer's for the overall story.

@DennisReynolds you are going to have them voiced by ai if you want them to have the other side. There no way for a voice could record every possible thing a generative ai could generate.

Can you take the drive from a shop brought PS5 disc version an put it in a disc less ps5.

Can you buy the separate disk drive and put it in a PS5 disc version?

If this the case it revolution in repair of PS5 and consoles and Sony should earn a few brownies points.

@thedevilsjester Given how many staff members Musk has sacked from twitter, may be sony did and no one picked up the phone.

@Pat_trick That the old EA, they seem to keep that crap to their sport games nowadays.

@Nei I bet there is a paragraph or two in the paragraph barring Playstation branding it people having any involvement in this venture.

Either it was in the licensing agreement Which happen with one of the Stargate games or they were running out of money or both.

Looking at their account on company house, I'm guessing the company went for somewhere below 20 million pounds.

@Zeke68 or crunchroll service

I'm personally surprise there no easter eggs for the Wolverine game, at least none yet discovered anyway.

@Badger_Badgersky Yet they will cost jobs. AI is even coming for people in every industry.

@Max_the_German @tomic20 or in game like this, real live commentary on the match that actually changes in each game depending on the actions of the players themselves.

I thought Atari was a small company that was barely staying above water. Not one going on a acquisition spree.

Right now if I was Sony I be setting aside money to fund some gaming studio start ups an new ips. The industry has fired 6000 people over the last year or so. There plenty of talent who are currently unemployed.

There plenty of talent out there at the minute. Now is the time to probably start investing in new studios an talent for existing studios.

@QuietintheCorner As long as they don't just start doing live service games and use the money their single player games as well.

@4kgk2 didn't they say concord was years away?

A November showcase would make sense build up excitement for Christmas, post Spiderman 2, show this trailer and something from wolverine, an what we can expect in 2024, more FF7 remake footage.

@kcarnes9051 so basically everything ff7 had, that the Devs have been trying to abandon since FF 10.

@AdamNovice it will feel even more like the original then,,,😄😄

@StrickenBiged For a company that never been profitable they have spent billions on acquisition . I don't think they are in any real danger of disappearing, surely apple or Google will buy them or at least the game engine, Google would have to get rid of the ads parts of the company.

@theheadofabroom An you expect people to navigate all that nonsense, that why unity was popular, no politics, just engine you could use to make games for basically anything.

FF7 remake is looking great is for it 2028 full release.

@Voltan Unity just acquired the Weta software.

@ShowerThoughts the only reason Jedi survivor is getting a non ray tracing version is because they are producing a PS4 version, if that wasn't happening it wouldn't be getting one as to many things would have it be changed to make that happen. And I suspect they lost their game director as a result of EA forcing them to do PS4 mode

@DennisReynolds All of those are sequels or part of franchises

An this is why the industry is dominated by sequels an prequels And franchises an remakes nowadays.

I bet he didn't want to spend a year of his life wasting his talent porting the game PS4 instead of working on the next title in the series.

@Beerheadgamer82 if it really is as powerful as a ps5 as the rumour suggests then I think we got to say that Nintendo left field move this time is getting back into competing with Sony and Microsoft and releasing as full power console. Perhaps with a add.on switch portable which takes the form of Sony q device.

@Beerheadgamer82 Game development today is slightly easier than back in the ps1 era.

Basically adding all the content they are going to have to create for the PS4 version of the game, as the PS4 version can't do ray tracing, shame the studio has been force to do this by the bosses rather than refine their raytracing code and proceed to the third game.

@rjejr I still think it might be 2030 before we get a new console.

@NotSoCryptic People think everyone plays online. I don't think that true at all. I just play the single player portion because I like a good shooter. Which is why I wait years before buying COD and pay the cheapest price I can find for it.

@Tharsman Microsoft underestimating how deep Sony pockets is not an cause for celebration.

@MayaMousavi Microsoft can't even keep their own lies straight.

@johnny30 Hopefully they really lean into hunting for secrets as a way to level up as well.

@Nem A port we haven't even scene yet. It would be trivial to add in a tunnel like effect when using portals. In fact the trailer for the PC port didn't show the complete transition.

@rawzeku by this point if it wasn't down to Japanese law and culture square enix would he a Sony studio.

Looking forward to finally playing the full game in 2028 I would guess. Will probably buy the PS6 version.

Not for that price.
