@Bleachedsmiles sorry not convinced. I have generally compared the list. The games I am interested in are either available on both or not available on both. I really would like you to list more out of your too many to list rather than just 1. I really do!! Yeah, Street of Rage 4 was cool but that now available on PS now too. I don't like racing but Dirt was given free as part of PS Plus, still haven't touched that. The thing is ''nowhere near close'' is just the opinion of an Xbox fan, you. In reality, it is not much different (excluding the upcoming 1st party games).
@Bleachedsmiles That doesn’t change the fact I stated there is no new game at the moment for new Xbox. I really want to know which big games on box game pass isn’t available for ps now. WHhat GAMES make you think PS Now is not even close to GamePass? The date availability may differ but ultimately more or less the same. The 3rd party games available on release date are mostly small indie game, not to mention gamepass is 3 times more expensive without promotion. Yeah I currently do have gamepass sub for 3 years (promotion). Haven’t played anything there yet despite being subscribed for last 7 months. I am not into graphic/ performance geek, more into story games. Yeah I might enjoy 60fps games but not deal breaker for me. (Maybe my perception, Spider-Man Miles different modes not very different and I still enjoy equally the original Spider-Man on PS4 or PS5). But really immature of you saying if I don’t agree with you, I become a damn liar. Dude try to be more civil. After all none of us own or invest in Sony or Microsoft!
Isn't it amazing Microsoft getting all the praise for its future projects? Never in the history of console gaming, a console has launched without any first-party exclusive game in nearly a year after launch. Giving gamepass too much praise in this current state is also ridiculous. PS Now has more or less the same game catalogues (3rd parties) for 3 times lower sub price than gamepass. But people think gamepass is great value because the vast majority of people are currently subscribing through the loop hole.
Wow is this site merged with Xbox site? Covering news is one thing, but more Xbox news in the last few days than PlayStation! The thing is most of the third parties games on gamepass are also available on PS Now (for cheaper sub prices) and other game sub like Amazon new Luna services. Yeah gamepass is great value for first party games but no need to repeat this everyday. Personally it is not sustainable especially for single player story games! Thing is Microsoft has other big business to cover the losses but not Sony!
Only played EDF 5 before. Surprisingly the game is quite deep with different classes and a lot of replayability. Can be quite challenging. The community may not be big but quite helpful. Hope they reduce a bit of grind for level up though.
Given free to play games are making much more money, no surprise big companies want to follow suite. Fort nite, genshin impact are making loads.Tencent is very profitable. People tend to spend more if micro transactions fee is single digit which do add up later much more than single 70$ fee. They also tend to forgive more shortcomings if the game is free.
Epic revenue vastly depend on one game, fortnite, and they are making a fortune with it as they don’t need a lot of investment just to keeo that si gle game going!
It is not bad as a video game adaptation, I did enjoy it. If it is a standalone film, this would be a cheesy B movie. I wish they adapt the recent Mortal Kombat Scorpion’s revenge anime which has better story and more serious tone.
Tried out beta. It is not bad. Still need improvement but definitely enjoyable. Need more modes even if traditional multiplayer mode. They might offer for free and sell in game cosmetics?
@blinx01 Why do they need to counter? Mlb is on gamepass as the franchise is quite niche and they get money from Microsoft. And mlb 20 was given part of ps plus not long ago and nobody give a darn. Dont forget gamepass is 3 times more expensive than the ps now retail price. As it’s now, it is not three times better and most of the games available are more or less the same. The only appeal of gamepass is first party games and nothing new came out since the new console launch.
@Snake_V5 You can still download what you have bought. It is closing down the store, not taking your games away. Who is still buying from PS3/ Vita store these days anyway?
@AdamNovice Agree Disney buying Fox is a much bigger deal than this. I know there are a bout 5-6 big studios but Disney was by far the biggest even before the buyout. If they approve that but not this would be ridiculous especially now that Netflix has now become a major force in anime.
I for one want this deal to really happen. I would like to support the anime and manga industry. A Lot of people are pirating as it is now. Cannot afford to subscribe to both. It is better to pay a bit more to cover both, I am sure it would be cheaper than subscribing to both.
While it should include some classic samurai duels, they should imitate Ruroni Kenshin movies swordplay which have one of the best sword fights choreography in any movie!
It is sad to see people complained about a well made game to cost 70$ but spend thousands of dollars on microtransactions. No wonder mobile games companies are making a lot of profit and company like roblox worth about 30 billion dollars.
Smyths has stocks a few days ago, think Friday. I think all of them should drop the stocks at the same time, this might increase our chance. Dropping at 3 am and during the work hours don’t help. Still can’t get to buy one despite I tired since pre launch.
Baseball is mainly for NA region and maybe Japan. Xbox has no chance in Japan, so this is mainly intended for US gamers. It makes sense to release on all platforms as the gamers base for baseball game is very small.
46 min does not exactly reflect the time. As a lot of people already in the queue, those who are in front keeps crashing. At least they let people in the queue know early. Used to queue on Game website- then when it’s your turn after 1:30 hr, it showed OOS, that’s a lot worse.. The demand is really really high. I hope people don’t buy them from scalpers, let them rot with all these consoles
TLOU 2 is well deserved for all its accolades. Still using its theme with an excellent soundtrack. The journey is a bit long but well worth it. The final climax kept me on my toes. Need to play GOT after my exam.
Not sure anger and death threats they received last month push them to release this time. That would be a shame. Not a fan of 1st person game generally. So I am not affected at all.
Trying to play cool and act consumer-friendly in the last few years. But they do know it runs crap on last-gen yet they still release it after restricting reviews on last gen. And then celebrate 8 million pre-order. So much for being consumer-friendly. Those who said should not release on last gen, how much proportion of that 8 millions are on last gen? A Lot!!
They would lose a lot of sales if they only release on next gen. I am not going to mention breaking promises here. 7 years of development would have cost a lot of money. They also can’t release it first on PC as they dare openly against DRM and a lot of people would pirate it. Hence they have to sell it on last gen at the same time. It is quite amazing they are worth more than Ubisoft at some point despite no new game in the last 6, 7 years.
Like I said before, it’s nice to have these comparisons. Fanning the flames or not, these are factual. Otherwise Xbox fanboys keeps bad mouthing PS based on that specs sheet. In the end, I know they will be similar. Also interesting to note no one is talking about Series S after the release. I think they shouldn’t even call that next gen console.
I read David Beckham earned 40 millions for 3 years contract with EA to include as icon. Does this mean you can get money after you retired. But if you are still active, the club gets money? But I doubt the club gets that amount of money for all its players?
Some people buy many consoles in Japan and sell it in other Asian countries. May be that explains some low sale numbers of physical games. How do I know? Because I’m originally from one of these Asian countries.
It is obvious. Xbox has very weak launch line up games, so Microsoft pays developers to upgrade the last-gen games. Personally won't affect me for now as I am not going to upgrade my TV yet.
@Shigurui there are a lot more user friendly ways if you have poor eyesight. There are accessibility options in every OS these days. You can even mirror your phone on TV. I mean it is a lot worse when you input search using the PS4 on screen keyboard (sitting at least 2-3 feet away).
Don’t care. I’m sure very very few people Have ever used it and the browser is almost always the source of hacking/jailbreak. No wonder they want to remove it. After they sell the console at a loss, the last thing they want is the piracy.
Nice review! Dualsense has USB C? Given 1TB NVME alone cost nearly 200 GBP, not surprising Sony does not include the bigger drive. With the price of SSD coming down, I am sure it will come with a bigger drive in the future. Backward compatibility may not be as good as Xbox yet as Xbox has been doing this for half of the last-gen rather than making new games, so it is understandable.
When you release a lot of open world games every year, this is bound to happen. I never buy Ubisoft titles at launch as their price drop very very quickly.
Great move, you don’t need to worry about 2 services Funimation and Crunchyroll. I can pay a bit higher if there is only 1 service. Currently Crunchyroll has more line up and Funimation has more dubbed and less expensive.
I can forgive if he cant nail the accent part. Being a non native English, it is even sometimes to change the pronunciation, let a;ine the accent. Really respect those actors who change their accent in the movies.
