I enjoyed flow, Flower and Journey on the PS3, but went the entire PS4 era just fine without them. I guess it’s simply a matter of where and how you want to make or not make money.
"Sony has surpassed Microsoft in terms of console sales and install base, having sold more than twice as many [than] Xbox in the last generation."
This come across as counter intuitive position. Sony has more consumers, so that justifies Microsoft locking the majority of consumers who own a PlayStation out of Activision games? How is that consumer friendly? Sounds more like a violation of anti-trust laws.
@Shinnok789 Sony unlocked the extended storage slot 10 months after launch, not 2 years after. And there are plenty of makes and models to choose from. This article is reporting that Sony has actually endorsed one, but that doesn't change the fact that extensions have been available for almost a year now.
And let's not forget the market value. I can get a 1TB m.2 expansion card for the PS5 for $110. A 1TB proprietary expansion for the Series X costs $220.
@Milktastrophe I'm sure the testing sorted it out, but even if not, there are plenty of other brands that easily meet the requirements. Sony stayed true to the console non-proprietary drive they started with the PS3, minus the Vita's proprietary (and overpriced) SD.
Back when I was a child, my mom worked a second job at Aladdin's Castle at the local mall. I spent so much time in the arcade. Galaga, Defender, Pac-Man, Dig Dug...I remember when Spy Hunter and Dragon's Lair came out in '83...both were literal game changers! And the original Street Fighter? You had to PUNCH the buttons! JUST. DON'T. MISS.
Needless to say, that machine was broken most of the time.
@RenanKJ I can agree with this...although it goes back to my previous post about Sony not showing much first party. But SE and Capcom were full frontal for Sony's SoP.
I enjoyed the majority of the shows, but was pleasantly surprised by Sony's showing. Having a lot of VR experience, I was really excited for Horizon, Saints & Sinners and Resident Evil. The 2D doesn't do it justice, but VR users know what those will look like in play, and it's pretty exciting! A lot of other stuff was shown as well, but I think what really got me excited was the lack of much first party. All these Sony Studios tinkering away, and outside of God of War, we don't know much on what they're tinkering on!
I think Microsoft's show was good, but when you have to isolate it to games that were mostly shown 18 months ago and are finally being staged as releasing in the next 12 months, after the aforementioned 18 months with only Forza as a first party release...it's more of a "it's about damn time!" than anything else.

It’s Sony’s catalog that makes it a win. No Day One releases, but with such a HUGE catalog and continuous releases, it trumps the Day One argument. Do I play games Day One? Sometimes, but rarely. Having that availability is nice, but necessary? What is necessary are games.
Sony has a HUGE catalog of games. Day One first party releases for Xbox in 2021? Forza and Halo. November and December. That’s it. 2022? Nothing.
Definitely worth a watch. Developmentally, you can see how the Drake/Sully relationship could morph into what we saw in the game. Love that Nolan North got a moment!

Supermassive should probably be talent scouts. Until Dawn was marketed as a horror game with Hayden Panettiere involved. Who else was involved with little credit (understandable at the time of release)? Rami Malek, who would go on to win a BAFTA, Golden Globe, Emmy, and Oscar!
@GamingFan4Lyf I'll take 30 minutes of footage for games coming within the next year. Microsoft had an excellent 2021 show last June. Guess how many of those games shown have released? One. Forza. Guess how many will release this year? Zero.
If there is a NDA (non-disclosure agreement), there should be no leaks. All employees are required to sign NDAs upon hiring, and NDAs are a natural part of contracting. Outside of the Service Agreement Confidentiality Clause is a NDA. Standard business practice.
That said...there are deliberate "leaks" that are supposed to generate attention. "That shouldn't be out there, but it is!!!" It's become a marketing routine. The hype of learning what shouldn't be known makes it MORE interesting than the granular reveal. Is that what this is? Who knows. Marketing is marketing. Not my forte.
I got pulled into Chinese security when the X-ray picked up my Move controllers. Luckily the scanner was a young female who recognized the Moves when I pulled them out of my bag. Sweating some bullets for a second there.
We’ll have to see how it all moves forward. Sony has tried the live service model with MAG and PlanetSide 2 (remember Sony Online Entertainment?). Can’t say that I remember either being all that popular.
I understand the frustration, but consider the alternative. Microsoft started buying up developers in 2018 and have released next to nothing since. Lots of CGI trailers. Very few games. 2023, maybe?
My only concern about a day one PSVR2 are the inherent risks of a day one purchase. I got he PSVR day one, but because of that I missed out on the reconfigured cable being moved to the rear instead of the side, and the HDR passthrough.
For as much grief that is piled on Sony for its recent lack of communication, at least they track towards following through on what they show. I think the longest lead item they’ve shown recently is Wolverine. 2023? Probably 2024.
Still, it beats the heck out of the CGI fest that Microsoft heaped on everyone. I thin Forza and Halo are the only two games from that to actually release, with nothing else slated until 2023 at the earliest, and even Halo is incomplete with issues.
Sorry, but this game was awful. They’d have to do a complete tear down and rebuild to even get me to try it as a F2P again. Button mashing on a treadmill to build energy, only to have the energy used by another player for some nonsense. Mining is tedious and traveling the void is annoying. I deleted this after about 20 minutes of trying to make sense of it all.
Demon's Souls and Guardians of the Galaxy make this worth it to me. That said, this is only 1/5th (150 of 750 titles) that are going to be available at launch. That number is insane! It's almost as large as my digital library!
Edit: Never mind...I only have 669 games in my digital library...224 PlayStation Plus titles...but I'm pretty sure that doesn't include my PS3 library.
Great content for anyone new to the system. Beats the heck out of “Day One” releases when you only release 2 games in 2 years. Sony has quality and quantity. Anyone new to PlayStation would be set with this offering.
It's contractual language known as "Minimized Advertised Pricing" (MAP). It's a very common practice. The agreement specifically states that the company selling the item can't offer it at a cheaper rate, or with additional bonuses at the same cost.
It’s still all about the games, and Sony and Nintendo win on that front, with Sony’s games being more akin to my taste.
Crazy to think that…barring an unannounced Forza release…Xbox will go all year without a single first party studio exclusive. They released Ghostwire Tokyo for PlayStation, but nothing for Xbox. Insane.
One of Sony’s most marketable divisions is the PlayStation games division. A lot of that is due to the marketing of the PS4 and the transparency with the consumers. That has disappeared, and I believe it’s affecting opinions on the brand.
I like PlayStation and am invested in the ecosystem, but unlike the past, I have little knowledge as to what there is to look forward to. Ragnarok, TLoU Factions, Spider-man 2, and Wolverine we’re aware of. But what else is there? All these studios and not much detail. Hopefully Sony opens up a little more and lets us know what the future of our investments hold.
That’s it. I’m starting a game development company. I don’t have any games yet, but I have great ideas and I can post some job openings that will never be filled.
Insomniac has been the best purchase! A fraction of the cost of Zenimax, yet they put out about a third of the Zenimax volume and their games are typically spot on!
OMG. Having played the first game, my stress level went up with that trailer. I know the trailer is 2D, but being in that experience where they're all around you...you feel like you're actually there! That will be intense!
