With the current state of AI technology, especially being able to replicate voices with almost 1:1 accuracy - I believe he can still live on in both games for years to come (should his family be open to the idea).
I've seen a preview from Rhykker and other publications saying it has the potential to be the best Diablo to ever come out (even D2). Super hyped and I am happy it comes out on PS5.
I've been a Sony fan since the original, but this is legit a disgrace, considering that your competitor with day and date releases on its subscription service allows 1-1 conversion from XBL Gold - and it's been on for years.
@notbrianblessed I 100000% agree with you. The entitlement of people nowadays is beyond ridiculous.
Just because Microsoft does it it doesn’t mean Sony has to follow suit. If you’re really bothered by this, switch to Xbox or vote with your wallets, but bickering like 10 year old kids who didn’t get an extra $10 allowance to spend on such an incredible game that comes only once every so many years is pathetic.
You do realize it includes a full on expansion to boot, not just extra enhancements? Hell, a beefy expansion for $20 is NOT expensive. Don't see what the outcry is about.
I don’t see what the fuss is about. Project started on PS4 and was always intended to release on that platform. What do you want, for them to cancel the PS4 version just to please the early adopters? It’s exactly what Colin Moriarty had said a year ago, before even the announcement. Same for the new God of War.
Can't blame them, they've been in the studio since the beginning. 20+ years is A LOT by any measure. Sony Bend will be fine, they still have veteran producers who have stayed with the studio plus "new blood" is always good.
Dan Houser left Rockstar Games earlier in the year too and he's also from a writer's standpoint and creative lead - on another level.
I'm looking forward to whatever the studio does next!
@thefourfoldroot Exactly my thought. Basically he's not 100% confirming nor denying the fact. He obviously wants people to convert to Xbox and sign-up for GamePass. Starfield is probably a couple of years away. TES 6 won't come out for another 3-4 years I reckon. Doesn't mean anything now, in 2-3 years time, perhaps.
@ShogunRok Completely agree here. Listen, since the pandemic hit, I've been earning less, my wife lost her job and has been unemployed for more than half a year. This is significant for me. Paying $70 for a game is A LOT right now, and I'm sure I am not the only one.
I am a huge PlayStation fan since the first console and have owned all of them up until the new PS5. Love the exclusives which frankly are the main draw to the platform but man, Series X and S are really enticing now, combined with GamePass + Bethesda and EA Play all in once low subscription (I found deals for around $10 a month for Ultimate) - Xbox is starting to look really REALLY good right now, especially in today's economy. Hell, I'm honestly considering switching at least for the next few years when the job market recovers and I can just jump back to PS5 and enjoy its exclusives, but as of right now, can't beat that GamePass combo of $10/$15 a month.
They were numerous rumors that the Horizon: Forbidden West and Miles Morales were planned for PS4 first and then development shifted to PS5 as well. I can definitely see an advantage in the PS5 versions such as instant load times, better textures/resolution/framerates, effects, draw distances, ray tracing, audio and perhaps character models. That’s a lot of advantage to justify an upgrade to the latest hardware although the core gameplay is obviously designed with last gen in mind.
Can’t wait for Digital Foundry analysis of Miles Morales between the PS4 and PS5 versions.
I live in Germany and prices have been ridiculous here for years. Normally I’d just buy the games in UK since with the shipping and conversion rate it’s way cheaper than paying full price here. 70€ for a new PS4 standard game release is normal, can’t fathom paying 80€ now considering the economy and all.
I’ll either 1. Buy only Sony AAA on release day for full price and wait for a sale on third party games. Or 2. Just wait for sales altogether like Sammy suggested.
@rachetmarvel According to the Arkhamverse comics, King Shark is indeed dead and the one we saw in Suicide Squad is his son, who takes up his father's name.
Looks great, clearly still a work in progress that's also designed for last gen consoles. Loved the gameplay, which to me looks WAY better in pre-alpha than Marvel's Avengers (which is a few weeks from launch).
The biggest missteps of the #XboxGamesShowcase 1. A lot of CGI trailers with barely any gameplay. 2. Doesn't really emphasize the so called "power" of the Series X. 3. Halo: Infinite looks bad not just graphically but also in animation (grappling hook). Flagship franchise???
So basically you’re paying $4 billion for the studios and their talent? Talent can leave and studios can fall apart under new management etc... if somehow the I.Ps were included, then yes, makes sense. Batman, Harry Potter are huge, but without them... not sure.

Re: Yes, Sony Helped Optimise Final Fantasy 16 for PS5
Given this fact I very much doubt FF16 will ever see an Xbox port.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection?
Bought the upgrade at midnight. Loving the 60fps and faster load times.

I am totally okay with this.
Re: Alba: A Wildlife Adventure Arrives on PS5, PS4 Next Week After Rave PC Reviews
I’ve really enjoyed it on the Apple Arcade when it first came out.
Re: Classic PS2 Action RPG Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance Is Being Re-Released Tomorrow on PS4
For this price I’ll pass. Loved the original but for come on it’s a re-release of a PS2 game with basically little to no improvements.

Re: Life Is Strange: True Colors Showcases Stunning Performance Capture in Opening Scene

Re: Resident Evil Village Demo: All Times You Can Play
This is so dumb. Who even thinks of these scenarios? Just release the demo as is or don’t bother releasing it at all.
Re: Mysterious Ratchet & Clank Short Movie Airs in Canada
Why would Sony not promote this AT ALL is beyond me. Great animated short and WAY better than the movie. Wish they could make it a show.
Re: The Division 2 Will Celebrate Resident Evil's Anniversary with Exclusive Outfits
The bad part about this is that in order to unlock most of the cosmetics you need a max level character.
Re: Immortals Fenyx Rising: A New God DLC Out Now on PS5, PS4
Just bought the game today on Amazon for 50€ Gold Edition. A steal, considering it is a base game + season pass.
Re: Which Resident Evil Village Bundle Are You Buyin'?
Deluxe for PS4 unless somehow miraculously PS5s are back in stock by then.
Re: The Last of Us 2 Sweeps The Game Awards, Wins Game of the Year
Ghost of Tsushima deserved a bit more awards if you ask me but well deserved win for the Naughty Dog.

10/10. Not surprised, I’m a huge Uncharted fan.
Re: Hands On: Ghost of Tsushima's Free Co-Op Update Defies All Expectations
GOTY so far for me. On par with TLOU2 if not better in some areas.

Looks great, clearly still a work in progress that's also designed for last gen consoles. Loved the gameplay, which to me looks WAY better in pre-alpha than Marvel's Avengers (which is a few weeks from launch).
Definitely getting this day one.

First time scoring like that.
