@Drago201 Sony doesn't need to put it's games on Xbox, in the same way that Xbox does need to put it's games on Playstation.

I'll still play them. Trophies are cool, but I care more about the games themselves.

@Ralizah That would more or less track with Remake as that launched 20 months after the original PS4 launch.

I'm still not sold on the first person, but I'm a big Indy fan. So I will be picking this up. I'm also not even remotely surprised by this game likely being announced for PS5.

This game looks intriguing, but wow do they need to fix those stiff, janky character animations. And those weird Botox, duck lips need to go.

FF XIII needs a remaster, not a remake. The game spent 5 years in development for PS3, god only knows how long a PS5 remake would take when FF VII Remake took 5 years on PS4 and FFXVI was in development for nearly 8 years. I'd rather get a FFVII Remake style remake for FF VIII than for FFXIII.

Does this mean Alien Isolation is canon to the films? Pretty awesome, if it is

@ThatPSGamer Nah, the biggest sin is the lack of a single player campaign. I guarantee the reception would be different if it had a campaign in addition to the MP.

The biggest problem is that the game got as far into development as it did. I'd much rather have seen that team work on a new single player game than waste 4+ years on a live service game.

Weird this would be outed on the PS Store, but it's probably that Rockstar mistakenly updated their listing on the PS Store.

@WhiteRabbit No, it never did, believe it or not.

@RiotShieldsHurt I use a Dual Shock 4 on PS3, but even then, not every game works with DS4 (Ratchet & Clank Into the Nexus is annoyingly one of them).

@tameshiyaku Hmm logic, some of these "outraged fans" should try it instead of just saying things they know are BS for likes.

@Cloud39472 This is just the same tired complaints that were made 20+ years ago against the Star Wars prequels, when George Lucas, you know the guy who invented Star Wars, ruined Star Wars and pissed off half the fanbase. It's like trying to claim that Spider-Man 2 is a DEI, SBI led disaster because of one screenshot of MJ's face.

This new studio should take over development of Marathon and make a stellar, pre-Halo 4 style SP campaign.

Eh, not interested.

Sony using Eve and Tifa to sell Astro Bot.

Will these be released on PS Plus with rewind and save states?

Just give me a Hot Shots Golf on PS5.

@nomither6 I mean, the story is okay, but it's nothing to write home about. It's hard for me to recommend horror games as I don't really find them scary. Alien Isolation and Dead Space remake are both great games, though again, the scares don't last. Resident Evil tends to be more action than horror. Alan Wake II is excellent, though it's more psychological horror and less physical scares. Control has horror elements. The Last of Us Part II definitely has a lot of horror in in. The hospital is one of the most terrifying locations in any video game and if you have a fear of heights....forget about it.

It's the very definition of a walking simulator. Literally no way to fight back. The scares lose their effectiveness after the first 5 minutes.

@nomither6 They're okay, definitely overrated. I don't think Outlast would've gotten anywhere near as popular as it has if it weren't for streamers fake screaming.

Ffs, who is there still to sell GTAV to?

Ok, I've gotta ask, how in the hell has Outlast sold 37 million copies?

Maybe Capcom, just maybe, you should give the people what they actually want, a new Dino Crisis game.

66 GB is pretty standard at this point. Can't wait for this game. Definitely gonna be a GOTY contender.

Being a strictly MP title, this game does not interest me. However, I hope it is successful for both the studio and because Sony does need to diversify its portfolio. I just wish that it had a SP campaign.

Word choice is very important and Insomniac didn't say it wouldn't happen, just that they are busy with Wolverine. But we know they are also working on other projects (Venom, Spider-Man 2 DLC, and Spider-Man 3). So Sunset Overdrive may still happen. Apparently though, there are still factors in play that could be preventing it regarding MS exclusivity as, despite Sony now owning the IP, MS seems to still have first right of refusal for the first 2 potential sequels.

Not a bad list, but not one I'm personally interested in. I'm waiting to see what new classics are going to be added. I'm hoping for Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain, God of War, GTA Liberty City Stories, SSX Tricky, Tony Hawk's Underground, or James Bond Nightfire.

Everywhere....except in a new Tomb Raider game.

Yes, this is very dumb and just MS trying to play the victim like they always do.

@Fiendish-Beaver I think most gamers wouldn't care. I'm talking about the ride or die xbots that eat up literally everything Phil Spencer says. They are the ones that would whine about a game like Spider-Man not being available on Xbox. We see the same types of games on Playstation who say they will wait for any kind of sale before buying a game they are interested in (which I get, games are expensive). However, then you get a situation where a company like Pieces Interactive is closed because their game (while not the best game ever) fails to attract an audience because players might be waiting until the game is $10.

"Those decisions are never made lightly, they're never made quickly, and there are a lot of people and processes and oversight to make sure we're making a good decision."

Okay then how did you still manage to make a bad one?

@Fiendish-Beaver Did I say anything about a Lego game?

I kind of hope that Nintendo eventually gives up on exclusivity too. I imagine they could sell at least 20 million more copies of Breath of the Wild if they were to port it to PS5. At this point, I get the exclusivity argument for a year+ if you are trying to sell a console or a subscription service. But, once you reach that saturation point, there's no longer any point to lockdown a game. I imagine Sony could instantly double their Spider-Man sales if they ported the game to Switch/Switch 2 and Xbox. Though, I still think Xbox gamers would whine that they game isn't on Game Pass.

Interesting. Ok Sony, now give us the cancelled The Getaway 3.

Good job, Embracer. Don't give the game a chance to find an audience. Just close the studio when the game fails to sell 8 million copies in it's first week. It's a shame because Pieces Interactive really made a pretty good game and I would have loved to see them get a chance to do a follow up.

Seriously, why is GTA V still at number 2?!

@RamboMike Well don't forget, Spencer also pushed MS to buy Zenimax and ABK to initially try and turn their entire catalogs exclusive. He even said that all future Zenimax games would go exclusive until that plan failed and MS forced him to start releasing games everywhere. If Xbox weren't going to do "slimy exclusive deals" the PS5 versions of Redfall, Starfield, and Indiana Jones would never have been cancelled. That said, I do think Starfield and Indiana Jones are coming to PS5.

Playing through Tomb Raider Legend and its not bad actually. Genuinely enjoying myself. I'm hoping we get Anniversary in the next batch of games and then eventually the EA James Bond trilogy of Agent Under Fire, Nightfire, and Everything or Nothing.

@RedAngel_Dragnet I'd be very happy if I could play Resident Evil Code Veronica X and Max Payne with save states and rewind.

Phil Spencer does an awful lot of whining. He basically just complained that his job is hard. I think it's plainly obvious that he does not have the power in Xbox that he used to. He seemed to hint that the ABK deal was a mistake or that mistakes were made prior to and during the entire process. It seems that once MS was approved to buy ABK for $70 billion, Xbox has a somewhat independent brand ceased to exist and Phil Spencer's role has been greatly diminished.

I like how Phil conveniently leaves out the part where Xbox did the same thing during the 360 era when they had the Call of Duty marketing deals. Phil = Everything PS does is bad and they are evil. Also Phil = ignore that we do all of the same things. He's seemingly still salty about Sony buying Insomniac.

I do agree with the sentiment that Sony could use more variety in their games. However, all of their games aren't 'Sad dad sims', that moniker only gets put on The Last of Us and God of War. Spider-Man, Uncharted, Returnal, Days Gone, Ratchet & Clank, Horizon, Stellar Blade, Rise of the Ronin, Final Fantasy aren't sad dad sims. I'd like to see Sony get more FPS games and more fun games like Astro Bot.

@Slayer25c what?

@Korgon I'm not so sure they are going to get the chance. I have a feeling that WB might shut them down as they are seemingly pivoting to Hogwarts Legacy as their flagship. I really wish we had just gotten Arkham 4. At least we have Spider-Man now.

Sony needs to drop the PSN acct requirement for PC. Other than that, everyone claiming this game is DOA are ignoring who this game is meant for. It's clearly targeting the Overwatch crowd. Personally, this is not a game I'm interested in and will likely never play as I don't care for MP games. But this game also isn't aimed at me.

@Korgon Not that I'm defending any decisions in regards to this game, but when this game entered production, The Avengers was not only not a flop, but hadn't even been announced at that point. Everyone was trying to chase that Destiny money and almost every single title failed. What's a bigger failure is that post-Avengers in 2020, Suicide Squad stayed in development for 4 more years and nothing changed. It's almost like WB and Rocksteady knew the game was terrible, but had spent so much money on it by that point (it was in development for 8 years by the time it released) that the game had to be finished. It's yet another reason why I'm glad Naughty Dog cancelled The Last of Us Online. We don't need another SP studio failing because of a live service game (I just wish Naughty Dog made that decision in 2020 and not 2023).

Yea, "Toxic Positivity" might be the problem. Or, a better explanation, your game just sucks.
