This is such a surprising news that I'm awe by it... More yearly CoD games coming up! Sign me in! /s
Activision without CoD is nothing; without it they will be in financial disarray... The days of Activision being a decent publisher died long long time ago. Sad really.
You got to adapt, so I understand.... Not all, but most Platinum games usually sell like crap compare to other games. And that's not good for a small-middle size company like Platinum, and anyone that thinks overwise, is delusional.
Here is the thing, I'm ok with multiplayer/live service games as long as a company keep producing single player games too. Not sure of that's possible for a company like Platinum though.
The key here is balance between both, single player games and multiplayer/live service games. Both can/should be able to coexist, if manage right... that's all.
@RevGaming That's coming to PC and PS5 and it is a live service? We already new about the live service part, and coming to PC makes sense for a game like that.... Honestly, some of you guys here act like children sometimes, which is sad. Just stop the nonsense and drama because there isn't any...
This is comical and moronic at the same time (the person that wrote that probably already got fired and the sign removed)... also, he/she forgot this:
"...but the deal won't close until mid-late 2023, and PS will still get 3 of these soulless CoD games in the meantime, which includes the sequel to the popular free-to-play game Warzone (which is probably the one most of you play)..."
Having a bigwig WB executive like Jason Kilar say it will release this year doesn't really confirms it will release this year. Now if someone (like the director or project manager) from Avalanche Software would have said it instead, that would be a different story.
Also, some might be hyping this game a bit too much (imagination going wild with what this game could be), which is never a good thing, especially since we haven't seen anything gameplay wise.
@Oscarjpc so because every other site has given this game "glowing reviews" (which is complete false as most have given it scores that range between 7-8) that means this site has too?
@Alduin The fact that you came here to just saying that BS you just wrote is pathetic.
GP is the graveyard were all the AAA games that publishers know won't sell well enough go to. Either because they don't have faith in their own product, the games are undercook and are missing features, or are a broken mess.
Funny thing is that most Indies (AA) that come to GP almost immediate are release into other platforms (PS and Nintendo) to actually get sells from them and help their game to strive. A future where GP models become the norm will bring the end of the type of gaming I love. Anyone that believes otherwise, it is delusional.
This game is an enigma to me.... it is coming this year, but the game still hasn't showed anything of relevance to be excited about it. It feels forgotten.
Tango Gameworks is also quite as heck about the game status, especially if you take in consideration that the game is set to release on March of this year.
If decent, I will probably buy it on sale. Not much hope about the game though.
@MaccaMUFC I would prefer if these executives would just stop talking. Phil isn't any different as any other corporate suit. He isn't your friend nor does understand you. He is just full of BS like any other one. He has one goal and it is to sell you a product by any means (just like a typical car salesman).
Halo infinite been nominated to both Best Technology and Best Design is a joke.... the fact this is coming from Game Developers makes it even worse....
But then again Oscars are also chosen by "experts" too, and most of the times they are a joke too...
Also Returnal should be have considered as GOTY. Deahtloop was an average game in every aspect.
Look there it is Fate/Grand Order. Always right there on the top 10. That franchised is huge, especially in Japan. No wonder Sony acquired its developer Delightworks (last year) after a long time relationship working with them producing this franchise.
@Bleachedsmiles Xbox fanboys are still having nightmares about the incomplete state of Halo Infinite and its fully functional online store with endless of overpriced microtransactions (want a sticker, pay $20). But at the same time also loving whatever lie Phil Spencer tells them.... because why not!
Who cares.... probably most of those sales came when the game was heavily discounted, which happed pretty fast after it was released. For matter fact this game has been heavily discounted a lot since its released.
Also, when the game was released, I didn't see anyone in the comment sections (of any site) saying good things about the game, so spare me the whole "now I care about the game" BS...
@Max_the_German Why? This is a PS only site.... this same thing happens in the Nintendo site and Xbox site... they don't add the other systems on their headlines even if whatever they are talking is also coming there.
If it was exclusive to the system, they will had added the word exclusive on the title.
@Ralizah it isn't only for 4k.... it is for the 60fps, which makes a lot of difference when playing games. Someone that tells you otherwise, it is just delusional.
@Ken_Kaniff hey! no one cares what you do, so move on... Also, at the end of the day, you will still end up "wasting" you money on a PS5 in order to play games like Spider-man 2 and Wolverine (plus more) when they released...
The new Halo was an average FPS that lacked lots of features from previous Halos... Also, zero environment diversity made the game monotone. The "open" portion of the game felt redundant. And its presentation, compare to other FPSs, was lackluster.... GamePass or not, I can see why people would skip it (not buy it).
@Balosi yea, those that claim that, need to wake up from Lalala Land. That notion came from one of many of the BS statements Phil S. usually say.
For all I know, this could end up being a disaster of a game, but hey! it is Harry Potter.... so just keep hyping it and keep having unrealistic expectations about what the final game will be. That's always good.
Wait until the show actual gameplay/gameplay mechanics first (2-4 minutes), then get excited.
With time, gamers have become one of the whiniest (complain about the most ridiculous things ever) people in the world.... Not even sport fans are this whiny....
Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart not winning "best art direction" was BS.... Of all the games in that section, the winner (aka Deathloop) was the least impressive in terms of art direction, what a joke...
@Ken_Kaniff this is such a BS statement…. Hellblade 2 didn’t look better than HFW. For matter fact, most seem to be way more impressed by the trailer of HFW than Hellblade 2 in terms of art design, combat, and graphically/visually.
Hellblade 2 trailer was boring as heck too… that combat they showcased could put anyone to sleep.
Love that track. The game looks great and smooth as well. Looking forward when it releases.
Like usual lots of whining (about redundant things) here on the comment section, especially from those that aren't into actual slim-racers or GT in general... In the other hand, the game will do great with the actual fanbase. People are excited there.
Also people should stop with that whole Driveclub BS. The reason why there is no more Driveclub is because of customers discontented on the game when it released (and beyond that). There is no more Driveclub because it didn't do well in reviews (critics and customers) and commercially, simple.
@TheArt what the hell are you talking about? If that happens, that would be because CD Projekt wants that, not Sony. CD Projekt is the one setting the price, adding deluxe editions, etc. on the PS store, not Sony. Same as any other publisher.
Phil should just shup up about this whole Bethesda BS already... He isn't just an hypocrite, but also annoying as heck (he just keeps repeating that same kumbaya BS every time he can). He needs to stop acting like a good guy when he clearly isn't one.
The only way PS could so a Vita type of system again is by doing what Nintendo did: create a hybrid console (handheld and dock).
Creating and releasing a regular system and a handheld system by separate (like they did when they launched Vita) isn't going to cut it, for the simple fact that you cannot maintain/support both systems at the same time in the same manner (equality). I'm sure they already learn that lesson.
Also, having your 1st party studios releasing different games (new IPs, sequels to old IPs, and remakes) from both systems is just not manageable at all. Again, this why Nintendo opted to do what they did with the Switch and not just do 2 different consoles at the same time. Just not manageable, even more nowadays.
This game is the ultimate cash grab. How many versions of Skyrim games are out already?
The fact that they are charging £47.99/$49.99 for a new retail version of this PS3 era game is just BS. I doubt it will look that much better than their previous effort. I do expect the game to still be riddled with bugs and performance issues (the usual Bethesda Game Studios BS).
Funny how some users here need to add "on gamepass" after "I played it". Intentional or not, for better or worse, you guys sound like a walking ad to that rental service.
Normally you would say, "I already played the game on "insert platform of choice" and enjoyed it for what it was. I would really recommend it to those that like horror/metroidvania type of games though" without the need to advertise a monthly/yearly rental service in there.
@Integrity In all fairness, in order to showcase a 3rd party game in an event both parties need to agree. Capcom chose to showcase it in Sony's event in order to generate hype and awareness about their new game, even knowing it was years away from coming out.

Re: Call of Duty Will Seemingly Continue to Release on PS5, PS4 Through 2023
Honestly.... between those 3 games, that one that is the most important is that Warzone successor (by a long shot) when it comes to producing revenue.
