@playstation1995 Sony doesn't own the IP, so it is not as straightforward as you said. This one is more of nostalgia I guess. I mean outside of the ones who have played before, this game isn't popular AFAIK. Embracer is dying, it is already expected when you hoard game IPs/studios and all of the developers without any project.

I would like Japanese CEO. Kaz and Yoshida were brilliant.

The interesting word here is it is not as big as they were. I am sure Microsoft (partly Sony) overpaid initially just to get good word of mouth from developers. The thing is they now realise it is unsustainable. I am sure people also noticed all the subscription prices including movie streaming services have gone up (the exception may be Crunchyroll whose price has gone down in Europe) as the period of focusing on subscriber growth has now finished. The ceiling has already hit.

I like FF16 combat more, don't like command combat but this is still better than a complete turn-based one. For the sake of time, I also don't like a large free-roam area.

@RedShirtRod Doesn’t work like that, dude. Lots of people on service bought yearly sub on discount. There are other costs like staff salary, building, game development. Not to mention, those services also offer other games too.

@BusyOlf I mean it is always obvious. Even diehard Xbox fans would see through it but keep saying that cliche rhetoric. I mean who would have believed when they said in court ‘oh we haven’t decided the platforms for ES6’

Still thinking about what to pre-order- digital standard or deluxe.

I would mark it down just for its combat system alone.Not a fan of turn based. And personally, it is not 'the bigger, the better'.

Great news. Great outfit for Jill too. Will do a new game plus/ platinum after my work commitments and Spiderman. DLCs are welcome. No need to buy if do not want to as the main story is contained in the original game.

@Kienda That's why I told u to speak for yourself. You, no expert, are talking for the majority here. What makes you think people wouldn't pay an extra 1$ to upgrade from gold to GP? MS allows that 1$ upgrade until recently.

@Kienda yes but why those fifa and cod players you mentioned are only on Playstation, not on Xbox?

@Kienda Sound stupid. When do you represent the majority of PS+ and GP subscribers? Speak for yourself. For one, PS Plus essential subscribers were at least given great games compared to GWG subscribers (which is going to be scrapped). Personally, I subscribed to PS plus since I bought PS4. The only online game I play is Killing Floor 2 (which I got it free from PS plus). Yes, I can speak for myself I don't subscribe just to play online.
Why u think everyone who subscribed to gp did so because of the games? I mean if someone only wants to play online but if it would only cost an extra 1$ to convert to ultimate, why wouldn't they do it? That promo is now closed, we will see what happens.

It will get worse with companies raising subscription fees. It is already happening in movie subscriptions. In the beginning, they want the growth in numbers. But when they hit the peak, they realised it was unsustainable and had to increase prices.
With 1$ trial scrapped and the loophole upgrade being closed, expect to see more gp subscribers going down (including me). Might take a couple of years as most upgraded to 3 years

@ironcrow86 what is it you wondering? Why do people never talk about compromises on PS5 digital? You trolling or genuinely thinking why?

OK hate grinding games like Diablo 4. But for me if a story ends with the base game, then it is complete. Adding extra end-game content does not mean it is not finished. More surprisingly, didn't you give a high score to that cash grab and unfinished game? Why did you give such a high score to it?

@Enigk The good thing is you don't need to grind, unlike Diablo. You can just smash through the story in 30-40 hours and still enjoy the game. I have only played FFX-2 before and thoroughly enjoy this, more so because of active combat rather than a command-based one. I like yourself don't play RPG a lot because when I play I want to do everything.

First time ever watching this event live. Quite good. The aforementioned blind dude win and MK 11 final was also entertaining. Close call. Pretty late in the UK though.

Sony could have sold more PS4 given they keep supporting it until this year. They could have sold at a discounted price like under 200.

@Jaz007 It is most hate it before it was released based on a short trailer.

If it is divisive, shouldn't it be mentioned on positive points too?

These are rubbish comments from salty fans as this is an exclusive. It is a great game with an engrossing story and fantastic gameplay. Finished the game this week after 75 hours. Will do ff mode for more challenge and platinum.

Quote unreleased suicide quad game but what about Diablo 4?

Despite loud voices from PC gamers, it only represents quite a small proportion. MAybe they are just pirating after spending a fortune on their rigs?

@Member_the_game people want to complain, even if something was free. You can cancel as soon as today and then use for 6 months. Even if you didn't cancel and forgot for a month, it is only 4.99. Apple TV indeed has excellent reviewed series.

It looks fun. There are lots of movies and series which are not critics' darling but I enjoyed them thoroughly. Let's wait and see how it would fare. Amused some people already shot down based on NOTHING. Biased people.

I will trade in if it becomes smaller. I traded PS4 twice with Game to get 1TB Slim and then pro with a minimal fee. I am at total digital camp since the early PS4 days as I can share with my brother living abroad.

27 hours in and at the beginning of act 2. FF16 is a fantastic game with epic Eikon/boss fights and a captivating story. The only FF I have played before is FF X2. Will play FF 7 remake later. Want to get into FF 14 but don't have a lot of time to play.

@romando No. Stray is an indie game. What he means is releasing AAA games which cost about 200 million on sub day 1. Microsoft did that but very few first-party AAA since GP launch. You just try to group 2 companies with different visions as a farce. Hard disagree.

There is no way to survive releasing these games day 1 on the subscription service. Microsoft survives only because they only released very few first party AAA games (most bombed) since gp launch (and padded with indie games) and they have loads of money from other sectors. No way Sony could afford to release their games day 1.

@romando if you read properly before you jump in comment session, you would know he means gamepass model where it releases day one AAA games.

They are just fanboys. Neutrals don't fall for their pretty obvious lies.

Outdated email but still actively implementing it. I understand Microsoft's reasoning but what disgusts me is they and their fanboys are acting like they are doing it for the sake of gamers. Pretty rubbish excuse.

Wel, the last time Bungie released a new game was when- about 4-5 years ago? MLB is a niche product and don’t need optimisation. Meanwhile COD alone is an annual big franchise and each entry is developed 2/3 years in advance. Your comparison and including that in the title doesn’t make sense at all.

I just pre-order it now. The reviews are glowing everywhere. Not sure when I get around to playing it with my busy work. but some developers just deserve it. I like the new directions of the story driven and action combat. Not everyone has time to level up everything. I don't like turn-based games. Interestingly IGN praise later side quests which are captivating. What are your thoughts on that?

@Ooccoo_Jr Well Maybe because there is now digital only PS5, if they include disc, those people have to buy digital game again.

@Chaotic_Goat what i mean is do you need to play them day1?

I bet most of the spending is from mobile gamers.

@Chaotic_Goat There is Humanity and Tchia, both of which are much better than simulator games often debuted on Xbox. And what is the point of playing those small indie games day one? There are many small indie games available on ps plus. All those TMNT, simulator games debuted on GP coming later to PS plus too. Granted there are bigger games like Plague Tale that debuted but that too will come later and the reason it was debuted on GP was Xbox has a barren year with 0 first party exclusives last year and they need to release something on GP.

lol Xbox, after Sony showcase, remind some games coming to Xbox too and its fans rejoiced. What a low and cheap tactic! Making games exclusive for a year is one thing, embargoing the news of games being multiplatform is such a ridiculous tactic. No sure why they want to waste money for that. I mean I never have a doubt. Given the scarcity of exclusives, Microsoft would put it on banners if it is truly exclusive.

I told you any 3rd party game debuted on gamepass eventually comes to PS plus. I will never buy any game like that. Now TMNT, waiting for the plague tale next. Can't believe people keep saying gp is of more value. In fact, based on the recent line up, PS plus extra is of much more value.

I am excited about this game. Splatoon is a great game; even being a rip of that would be great. This shouldn't be 70$ though, either free to play or 30-40$ would be great. Diablo 4 is also a live service game full of MTX, it is well received.
People just said rubbish to almost every game at Sony showcase for not being a first party AAA game and just because it is Square Enix. They did not have great years lately but Guardian of the Galaxy, Tomb Raider, and Octopath are all great. Avenger single-player campaign was good too (they did burn a lot of money for licensing though). Unfortunately people only remember the rubbish Avenger live service part.

Why? There are always haters for everything, everywhere.

Games keep coming. Idiots would complain nothing was announced then if they would still complain when announced games don't get released in a year. Sony has changed since TLOU 2 leaks, they don't announce games too early. Meanwhile how many first-party exclusives have been released on Xbox. It is the games released that matter. As long as they release 2-3 first-party exclusives a year, then that's fine.

What more shocking is how low you have become. They just answer the questions (which they probably made up themselves) to give information about there will be new music arrangement. And your title of there will be music in the game is quite misleading. You have been doing a series of rubbish posts based on these in the last few days.

I only finished RE 1,2,3, code veronica, 5 and 6. Unlike others, I really like the co-op aspects of 5 and 6. I hope they remake them too.

Good news. Fighting games are niche and are always daunting for casuals. As much as I grew up in SF II era and used to play SF 2 a lot back then, I haven't played any fighting games for ages (except Smash Bros).

@SoulChimera He is the most boring character in the movie. I hope not but then again MK story is very repetitive and boring.

She is more beautiful than her elder sister Dakota. Have been supporting her since The curious case of Benjamin Button.

They were hit hard by Marvel's license. While GOTG was well received, it didn't sell very well either.

@Ken_Kaniff I agree, only 20$/year more expensive if buy at full price and people moan a lot. You got those classic games and free trials+ streaming. What more people are expecting for 20$ difference?
