I've been wanting to try Callisto Protocol, so this is perfect for me. It'll be a great appetite wetter for Spider-Man 2 and Alan Wake II.

I've platinumed SM 2018 and MM on both PS4 and PS5. I'll be enjoying my time platinuming SM2.

@MikeOrator For a collectathon, it wasn't even all that time consuming.

@playstation1995 I kind of agree with that. If Sony wants this game to come out, they need to bring it in house. I doubt we'll ever hear about it again.

I'm not surprised by this at all. This game has seemed doom for quite awhile now. I think Embracer is a lot of the problem here. They bought too many studios too fast and are now crumbling. I fear for the future of many of their studios....I really hope MS does NOT buy them out.

Right, Fallout 76 was saved by Playstation, but that''s not enough to convince MS Starfield and TES need Playstation. That's okay. MS will ruin those franchises just as they did Halo.

@Tharsman It won't.

I'm okay waiting until next year. RE4 Separate Ways and Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty just came out. The Callisto Protocol is free on PS Plus in October. Spider-Man 2 and Alan Wake II come out in a month. And then Final Fantasy VII Rebirth launches in February. I'm good until then.

I'm glad this saga is just about over. MS can keep Call of Duty, I don't really care and I super can't wait for MS to announce in 3 weeks that they are buying EA or some other massive publisher and put us through this for another year and half.

@Beerheadgamer82 Xbox fanboys don't live in reality. They continue to argue that Sony buying Insomniac and making an exclusive Spider-Man game is worse than anything MS has or is doing.

@Deljo Really? By their own internal documents, Game Pass is failing them and of their 2 major first party releases, one was an abject failure and the other is objectively great, but not moving the needle the way they need it to. I would say MS have repeatedly, for the last 10 years, moved the goal posts and continued to shoot themselves in the foot.

@Porco Yep. I really think Lara Croft belongs up on that Playstation Studios banner. Personally, I think this consolidation needs to end. We are seeing the consequences of it as MS has had mass layoffs, Embracer has had layoffs and closures, and even Sony has had to close studios. This is a bad thing that MS started.

@SgtTruth I really like the reboot trilogy, but tonally it has problems. TR 2013 comes off almost as torture porn, Rise is nearly flawless, and Shadow, well Shadow wasn't even made by Crystal Dynamics and yea had Lara basically causing the apocalypse and killing several thousand people. Overall though, I still really like the reboot trilogy and go back to it every now and then. However, my favorite is the Legend trilogy.

And now we're seeing the ugly side of consolidation. Thanks for starting this Microsoft. This isn't the last we're going to hear about layoffs.

@Porco I wish Sony had just bought SE before they sold their western devs to Embracer. They'd all be in a better place right now.

@Americansamurai1 It'll be from those disengenuous Xbox sites that gave Starfield a 10 out 10 for the fact that it's an Xbox exclusive.

I hope this leads to a new game.

@Americansamurai1 Predicting 9s across the board and a metacritic score between 88 and 91.

Well deserved Insomniac. Can't wait for this one. I hope everyone at Insomniac gets a well deserved break after October 20.

Well, I guess I can understand why Sony doesn't want to put new games on PS Plus day 1. But, if MS wants to throw money down the drain, I guess go ahead.

Xbots still going to try and claim MS is not trying to build a monopoly? They need to be stopped.

Keeping my expectations very low for this, so I won't be disappointed.

This is great news (hopefully). HFW is one of my favorite games of the generation and Burning Shores is a great expansion that is one of the best looking games ever. It's good that PC gamers will get to experience this soon.

@BeerIsAwesome That was one of the dumbest review bombings ever.

Definitely gonna pick this one up. Final Fantasy XVI is my favorite game this year, wonder if this will dethrone it. From the sounds of it, Baldur's Gate 3 may end up being the new Witcher 3.

Sweet! I'm down for this. Powerwash Simulator is just a relaxing game, I can't get enough of it.

@Swirly That would be pretty freaking awesome. But imagine having to clean the Death Star....

I think I'm going to end my Premium tier subscription. I barely use it and Sony has been very slow in adding classic games to the service. I'll go back to extra for free games and online, but that's all.

Yep, Xbox did it and now Sony follows suit. This is the darkside to these subscription services. Notice, Xbox removed their free trails a week before Starfield releases. I'm sure that is just a coincidence....

This should have been the norm from the beginning. The S was never going to be able to achieve true parity with the X and it appears that the S has series issues with split screen, Halo Infinite, Baldur's Gate 3, and Forza all have dropped the feature, with 2 of those games coming from Xbox first party studios. The problem is, now MS appears to have lied when they said the S would have feature parity with the X. This is the right decision to get Baldur's Gate 3 to more gamers, but it's a very bad look for MS.

@Americansamurai1 Exactly why the ABK deal should have been blocked. Again, I blame MS and their greed.

@Americansamurai1 One could argue it's already there.

@Americansamurai1 Money talks as we saw with the judge in CA who's son works for MS. I'm sure Japanese companies would sell if the offer were high enough. But I hate that we've gotten to the point where this is what we are debating and I fully blame MS for starting this for buying a company solely to keep 1 game away from PS5.

@4kgk2 Xbox dudes don't buy games period. They've been conditioned to only play games on Game Pass. Remember Rise of the Tomb Raider's infamous exclusivity? The game nearly bombed and only became a success when it launched on PS4, which it should have done originally. And that was before Game Pass.

@Americansamurai1 Touche. I, honestly, don't want to see any publishers getting acquired. I don't think Sony, MS, or Nintendo should be in that business. But I would support Sony buying them if it would block MS from acquiring them and blocking the games from Playstation. We've seen that MS is completely of the mind that they will pettily buy up publishers just to keep one game off of Playstation. Could you imagine a scenario where Final Fantasy is exclusive to Xbox? The series would die off immediately.

Honestly, with how little attention Sony had been giving this game, I wasn't expecting much. Might check it out on a sale, or on PS Plus if it's there.

@PixelDragon I didn't mind the rogue-like nature of Returnal. It's only real problem was it's absolutely unforgiving RNG. It's nice that Housemarque did add the suspend ability, but the RNG could make the game feel very tedious.

This game really looks like fun. I'm certainly excited for it.

Ugh, just acquire Square Enix already.

Been waiting 13 years, only 2 more months....

Surprisingly not bad for what it is. It's disappointing that it's a stream only device, but at $200 it's far more robust that the $100 backbone. I might consider picking one up.

@bighal Are you just trolling right now? Uncharted hasn't had a new release since 2017. GoW Ragnarok was in the top 10 until this most recent report. GT7 is a year and half old, Spider-Man has sold over 33 million copies (across 2 games) in 5 years. FFXVI is a more niche title that has still sold very well. Just wait until Baldur's Gate 3 comes out on PS5 and Spider-Man 2 releases.

Seriously, who doesn't already have like 4 copies of GTAV?!

This sounds interesting actually. I hope it's similar to the underrated Sherlock Holmes games from Frogwares.

@Porco It wasn't just pushsquare. Everyone ran with that story instead of waiting for an official announcement. Of course, the Switch version is going to run at a lower resolution and frame rate than PS4/5. No one has any patience, anymore.

@Nepp67 Alan Wake is one of my favorite games of all-time (basically the only reason I kept my 360), but I get that it's not for everyone.

@Nepp67 Mine too. Though, my money is currently on Baldur's Gate 3. Don't forget, we still have Alan Wake II and Spider-Man 2 to go.

@naruball Yep, that was based off of one Forbes editorial from someone is decidedly anti-Sony. People who were looking for any negative story about PS5 ran with it and then it disappeared when the story was debunked.

Final Fantasy XVI still in the top 5. But I thought the game was a failure. Surely, all of those Xbox trolls weren't lying....

@XboxTheBestBox Peace Walker has already been leaked to be in the Vol 2 collection. Are you just here to troll?
