I loved the trilogy. The PS2 era had some GREAT 3D platformers! Probably the best library of 3D platformers out of all the consoles.

@RudeAnimat0r Surprised me, too. I was also surprised that the developer still existed. I was thinking, recently, I don't see a lot of people playing games on phones. Not like, five...ten years ago.

Gaming feels so stale, these days. 🤷🏿‍♂️ 😕

@Fenbops it wasn’t until recently, that I’ve found it odd, how we celebrate these corporations making huge amounts of money. I get that it means more product, but it’s still weird. Especially when you look at the state of everything. Corporations being worshiped and treated as people has become very odd, to me.

@Would_you_kindly OMG! Thank you for bringing that up. When I see people defend her, for whatever reason, I bring that up. How is it that she can escape cancellation. But, the fact that the few guys who spoke out, were laughed at, says a lot. 😕

My first thought was Captain Blasto, during the first ten seconds of gameplay. 🤷🏾‍♂️ 😂

I remember when Neil was the talk of the town! I love...love...LOVED, District 9! Wasn’t that into his other films. I did enjoy Elysium. I remember looking forward to seeing what he would do with Aliens. Didn’t work out. Along with other projects. I started losing interest in him. While I won’t be playing this game, I hope it’s a success.

Is the PS4 still in production? Has Sony ever done a price drop? It doesn’t seem like the PS4 gets the attention previous PS models received, later in their lifespans. When I look at a PS4, the prices are all over the place.

I’ve had a dislike for the Minons once I saw them on banana stickers. 😂 TOO MUCH! Those little things were everywhere! Honestly, I didn’t see the appeal after the first Despicable Me. 🤷🏾‍♂️

I haven’t played Days Gone. Don’t know about it’s history. BUT... its refreshing to hear somebody speak what’s on their mind. I get tired of the “corporate” sounding replies to everything! I still wonder how companies are going to sustain, through services like Game Pass.

I had no idea David had his own show. I used to follow his blog, religiously, back when he was working on rebooting Twisted Metal.

What’s to celebrate when you look at that lineup? 🤷🏾‍♂️

I’m joking! 😂

@MidnightDragonDX it’s free.

@Salt_AU Interesting. I don’t have the game, but I was looking forward to playing it in the future. I hoped to have lots of creator content to play through, like when I started playing LittleBigPlanet (PS3&Vita). I spent HOURS playing through user created levels. I never finished the main campaign modes. What I saw of Dreams, prior to the release, had me very excited. Maybe it suffered from being released late in PS4’s lifespan. Will it get the remaster treatment?

Does anybody know why Dreams hasn’t taken off?

Nice to see stories like this, during a time when these types of stories usually involve cancel culture.

These types of things don’t excite me in any way. Maybe I’m a cynic but, it’s all optics IMO. 🤷🏾‍♂️ These corporations want to talk about supporting black communities, we’ll take a more hands on approach. People in power don’t care about black people, unless their apart of the LGBTQ community.

@fR_eeBritney Performance wise, NO! Britney was the ish during her prime!

I think this pandemic has spend up the process of the inevitable in so many ways. Putting an end to E3 is one of them.

@OrigamiCrane never understood my friends who get excited, YEARLY, over new Madden and NBA games. When I ask what’s new, I’m never impressed by what they tell me. Their like those super Apple fans who rush out and get the latest iPhone every year. 🤷🏾‍♂️

@JJ2 Buy the competition in order to kill it? Look at what happened to Rare as the years went on. 🤷🏾‍♂️

This game feels so big and bombastic. It feels like they went for bigger, simply because they could. 🤨

I lost my driver’s license last week. I drove by the DMV and saw the LINES extending outside the door. This article has inspired me! 😂

No. I’m waiting for a PS4 price drop. I bought an Xbox One for a bundle that really appealed to me. Rare Ware and the Halo collection pulled me in. It also came with Gear of War (remaster) and Ori and the Blind Forest, Outside of that, not too much. There’s a ridiculous amount of games I want to play on the PS4.

Why do you guys have a problem with the original price for this game? I’m asking out of curiosity. Was it more expensive than the trilogy? I’m wondering what’s behind people’s resistance to buying it. Everybody seemed excited for this game, until it released. 🤷🏾‍♂️

There’s somebody out there like me! 😂

@Kienda I remember being in GameStop’s back in the day, cringing, over the recommendations I would hear employees give parents on what they should purchase.

@Bentleyma- HOLY COW!!!! I still remember the announcement and hype! Also, the big question asking whether or not it was coming to the Switch! Doesn’t feel like it’s been that long!

Was this already in development before the trilogy remaster release? It feels like this came out quickly after that release.

I’ve been puzzled by the excitement over both of the new systems. From what exactly is coming day one, to the fact that there are games that will also get releases on currently systems. I’m especially puzzled by the excitement of the new Xbox. When’s company is telling you I don’t care how you play, just play, wheres the excitement in that? From a standpoint of just watching how it plays out, it’s exciting. As a consumer, not so much. I’m fine with my Xbox One.

I wondered if there would be any display of ego going into the next gen. It’s a pattern I’ve noticed. Whichever company wins a generation, they make a series of mistakes going into the next gen, that reeks of ego. It usually comes back to bite them in the butt.

@RogerRoger Much respect to you and your opinion! 😊 I wish I was able to not compare mascots! Having played my fair share of mascot games throughout the 90’s, early 2000’s, I feel that it’s embedded in me! 😂 When I played Super Mario Odyssey, I was constantly blown away by the fact that I was playing the evolution of Mario, so tightly woven into modern day gameplay. And take the genre to new heights. I thought about Sonic while playing Odyssey. At this point, I’m not asking for every new Sonic game to reinvent the wheel. Just consistency and a healthy respect for the series past. In my eyes, it’s a bit of respect, while mainly focusing on some new gimmick that’s detrimental to the gameplay (most of the time).

@RogerRoger I’ll admit that my love for Mania is aided by nostalgia. I’ve also enjoyed some of 3D Sonic games. Heck, even the old kart and on foot racers. I understand that those games still sell well, but at what cost to the brand? Sonic could be so much more. It’s frustrating for a Sonic game to, in a sense, tease us gamers with a quality game like Generations. Which shows that they can still make a decent 3D and 2D Sonic. Then they give us Mania. I know about the titles (of good quality) released in between these two releases, but I feel like those were the strongest. Why not build on that? I’ve been watching Mario flourish since the 80’s, with the rare misstep (I’m look long at you, SUNSHINE! 😂) and to see highs and lows of Sonic, it’s sad and baffling. Again, I don’t get why they don’t build on what’s worked over the years. 🤷🏾‍♂️

For some reason I like the XSX packaging more. I can’t put my finger on why. 🤷🏾‍♂️ But it still looks nice.

@RogerRoger I don’t agree. While there are some decent games on your list, I don’t think any of them had the polish of Mania. It’s not about the sales. How could you put Unleashed and Shadow over Mania?!

@TheNewButler Funny. My first thought when I saw this article was, Sega just don’t get it! They deliver a well received gem in Sonic Mania. Instead of staying on that path and building on it, we get this. 🤷🏾‍♂️

@Kidfried it very well could be a false rumor. The thing is, given how his taking a knee turned into this huge national mess, and the different ways this was used to stir up discord, I could easily see how nobody wanted to touch on that, in mainstream media. Now, what makes me think that there’s truth to what I’ve heard....his girl (wife?) Nessa, was dating Colin’s teammate the year before they got together. There are articles and pics of them together online. Colin also has problems with trying to steal other players women, and that’s why teams didn’t want him. He was too disruptive, ALLEGEDLY. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Edit: Colin and Nessa started dating in 2015. They went public in 2016. But there are articles about Nessa with Colin’s teammate from the same year.

I still wonder if it’s true that Colon knelling was in protest, not because of police brutality, at least initially, but actually it started over not getting a lot of play on the field. He had problems with a teammate over a women (Colin was in the wrong, allegedly!), so the coach had him sitting on the bench, as punishment, I’m guessing. That turned into this whole mess. I’ve only heard it from independent podcast. It’s never caught on in the media. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Sony will have games! The PS5 will fine.

It’s always interesting to me when I see companies play up these kinds of features before a systems release. They always make these things sound “fancy,” but these types of things never stick with me. Until reading this article, I forgot about the hoopla made over “HD rumble” was before the Switch came out! I just play! 😆

@KidBoruto I played it on the original Xbox. I believe it’s on the PS3 and was released on the Switch as well.

Edit: Don’t be an idiot like me and use cheat codes! It RUINED the experience! 😂😞

@KidBoruto I recommend trying Oddworld Strangers Wrath!

Has an official launch line up been announced?

@naruball Can you enlighten me on furries? I know what they are, I didn’t know there was something negative attached to them. I think the original comment has been removed.

I thought this was out already and the overall verdict was 👎🏾

@thebakerswife I’ve been doing it since the PS2 era. 😂 For me, it was because they both made two stellar series with Sly Cooper and Ratchet and Clank. That era represents a brief moment when, in my opinion, Sony had stronger platform games than Nintendo.

@thebakerswife I played it for an hour once and was reminded of Infamous, with a Spiderman coating. Not to downplay the game, I had a good time! It just felt very familiar.

Does anybody know the actual number of consoles sold?

I see Sony is at it again! Late to the party! Taking Nintendo’s ideas and trying to make them their own. Anybody remember R.O.B.?! 😝

All of this talk about price. I don’t think it’ll be a big deal once the system drops. It’s not 2006. I don’t think a higher price launch price (than the PS4) will effect the sales of the PS5. Especially with all of this talk about graphics and features. I also don’t think Sony needs a big production in front of an audience in order to announce the rest of the PS5 info. It’s more exciting, but not necessary. The controller reveal, alone, trended #1 and had over 5 million views in a day. Not to mention the memes that were going around social media. More publicity. Well produced videos, clearly showing what the PS5 can do is enough in 2020. As far as the economy goes, people find money for what they want (look at the Switch and Ring Fit craze). Yes, those items aren’t as expensive as what the PS5 will be, but $300 or $500. It’s still a lot of money, especially given what’s going on. They won’t have problems selling systems, especially coming off the PS4 era.

I’ll wait for the version for the Switch VR set.

This time in the pre launch, PS5 era, will be the topic of a talking point editorial a couple of years from now. The topic, reflecting on these uncertain times and how Sony is kicking ass in the present.
