Racing games really aren't my thing, but I like the look of Vampyr. For the first time in MONTHS (other than Fall Guys) I can say I will actually download and play one of these games - I literally can not remember the last one other than Fall Guys, maybe Yakuza Kiwami.
@TheAdza ah I see, yeah that'd be cool but presumably would cost a metric ***** ton on sonys behalf paying all the devs. But least no one could moan they didn't get what they wanted that month.
Isn't there some kind of Japanese clause that Japanese companies can't be bought by foreign nations or something similar? Or have I completely imagined that.
This new direction they are taking is almost definitely why the better than Jim execs left imo. Imagine being in charge and steering the Sony ship to greatness with (almost) every move and then having every ounce of good will you'd built up get just thrown in the ***** in a few short weeks.
Sony, and certainly PlayStation as a brand are not going anywhere. The consoles may stop production eventually (it's almost an inevitably at this point that somewhere in the future they won't be console based, maybe an OS or store front only) but certainly not anything to be concerned about for at the very least this generation. They also have enough studios under their umbrella to churn out games almost constantly through the years. Just because Ms are opening their wallets doesn't mean ps has too much to worry about. I say good. Competition is good for consumers.
First time ever I'm going green. Shame I missed the preorder (thanks argos app for randomly refreshing when I was at checkout). I will get a ps5 slim when there's some decent bundles about.
@InsertUsername whether you play the games or not, the fact of the matter is that xbox and especially the game pass model are exceptional value, even more so with the zenimax acquisition and the ea library on top of everything else. I realise this is a PlayStation centric site but people are allowed to recognise pro consumer moves. And to say people aren't getting excited for it is wrong considering the fact that all series X and S have sold out in a similar time frame to ps5 did, not forgetting the 737% increase of x sales. If Sony did this move most people on here would be jerking in the streets.
@jorel262 With the install base of ps4, and the inevitable install base of ps5, I think MS would be MENTAL to block it appearing on there. They charge a fee for it to appear, Sony get x % per sale, MS get the rest. It's a win/win for them imo.
Xbox are going balls to the wall for this next gen aren't they. I genuinely don't know how Sony are going to compete if they keep up this momentum. And yes, I know ps5 will still sell, but that doesn't necessarily equate quality, diversity or pro consumer moves.
I wish I could have played through The Witcher, but not long after the tutorial bit (I think I'd just got into the open world), my pc decided to combust from running it, and I never opened it again in fear of it finishing the job D:
@NYJetsfan123 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-47783558 is a reputable site. This was a while ago but it hasn't changed, I'm just on mobile and that was a quick search. It's crazy money in games.
Games will still be bug riddled messes that require multiple patches post launch, will still have bits cut out and sold back to you as dlc, and will still have micro transactions. Despite the gaming industry making more than the film and music industries COMBINED. Yes games cost more to make now, but they're also selling more, and peoples' wages haven't matched up with the inflation rates. As per, it's corporate greed and all it's doing is enabling the CEO's and shareholders to jack themselves off whilst bathing in the multiple million dollar bonuses.
@TheFrenchiestFry That's definitely me. My pc is 2.8ghz i7, a gtx 970 and a 2tb hdd (not even ssd). For me to upgrade that to match the specs of a seX (not including monitor upgrades etc), it would cost much, much more, than just buying an xbox. I will have 3 months game pass ultimate free just from using bing searches, and presumably there will be some more in the box, whether that be a month or 3 or 6 or whatever. No brainer for me.
Miles I can sort of understand, but doing horizon like this seems like an utter waste of the potential that thing had to showcase what the ps5 can do. I'm disappointed to be honest. Absolutely no reason for me to upgrade any time soon. Probably on either camp.
@playstation1995 I will be holding your digital hand in anticipation of a Syphon Filter remake getting a release. I'm not holding my breath though. Having said that, if it doesn't get an announce, Tombi/a, Legacy Of kain or Nightmare Creatures (what with the success of Bloodborne) will suffice.
Crash 1 was by far and away the hardest out of them, I felt they got easier as the series progressed. Hopefully this is somewhere near the original difficulty levels, as long as it's fair. Which I always felt Crash was, no matter how much I swore at it.
Like I have said before, price is pretty much irrelevant to any one who is already planning on buying either of these consoles, people just want to be able to order one.

Re: Reaction: Bethesda Acquisition Is a Kick in the Balls for PS5, But Sony's Goals Won't Change
Absolutely nobody can argue just how valuable owning an xbox at this point . Not forgetting EA games on the pass on top of all this.
Honestly, Sony are getting trounced in the PR department at this point.

Assuming Intihar is working on the actual sequel as opposed to this, he did a great job helming spidey.

Digimon Cyber Sleuth Hackers Memory like I have for the past 200 hours.
Though bought Moss for £9.99 so will have to get to that eventually.

Re: PlayStation Store PSVR Spotlight Sale Is Packed with Great Deals
If you haven't already, buy Astro Bot.
If you haven't got a vr, get that first, then get Astro Bot.
I loved that little white bugger.
Also, Moss, I was going to buy it for sub 10, it's now sub 10. God dammit.
