So are we expecting another batch of ports to be announced then? Xbox has some good games and here’s the truth: people will buy those games day 1. I’d buy Forza Horizon 5. Should Game Pass exclude all AAA and have smaller games and online access for much cheaper each month? Why not sell exclusives full price and build your console brand? What do I know though!
@TurboTom dreaming of actual games for it… still seems stunning to me that PS5 Pro is likely a thing when PS5 doesn’t have much that actually pushes it 4 years in. Although… maybe the Pro will come with new games… keep dreaming!!!
One positive spin on all this is that there are fantastic Xbox games such as Forza Horizon, Gears, Halo, Flight Sim, Age of Empires and more that would make so much money for Microsoft on PS. Phil said they can’t win any console war (have they tried?) so I say port everything at this point. PS gamers are in for a real treat with fantastic games. I know it’s a kick in the teeth to long time Xbox fans but it’s reality and may secure the brand’s future if you know what I mean? Being a massive publisher with some sort of small console platform footprint mixed with PC and phone etc seems viable to me in the circs.
@Runex2121 Forza Horizon games are incredible. How do you get on with the Portal? Not sure about it as a streamer tied to the box (PS5 is pretty ugly, especially the slim, you are right but has grown on me a little…) I can’t get on with Cloud gaming yet but enough people seem happy with the Portal?
@OldGamer999 you are probably right as it was mentioned before? Forza Horizon would be fantastic though albeit I have on PC.
Should Xbox go full publisher? I tapped out of my Series X and have gone all in on PS5 and PC.
I’m a massive Prey and Dishonored fan and didn’t know Weird West was made by the same people/person? Recommended??? I’m pretty excited about the new Bioshock games too (4 and Judas.)
@Matthewnh it’s completely not required. One could argue the PS5 is actually a PS4 Pro Pro. I don’t think PS5 is too expensive per se but I think it lacks, for some people, a reason to upgrade from a PS4. Same games that should run better but at the cost of £500 upfront. That’s an issue. The PS5 Pro could be great on paper but if it plays PS4 games then what is its point? It needs more than just raw beef imo. I’m not being anti but clearly there is so much more potential in the PS5 we haven’t seen. 4 years in and every game is cross gen and remasters…. Available on the PS4.
@IOI and others… I 100% agree. PS4 has been around for ages and most games are cross gen or remasters. There aren’t enough actual PS5 games. Lost generation for sure. I said this on the ‘Lollipop’ news article and was met with typical keyboard warrior nasty comments… for having an opinion. An opinion many share. 😂
The truth is that these hero shooters are boring, mediocre parodies made by people who don’t game or respect the medium (in my opinion.) It’s cynical, quick-buck trash and at £40 to enter, it’s doomed. Big L for Sony with not much else to back it up this year.
It is crazy though that they are still making PS4 games, this gen hasn’t really begun and they are pushing a Pro… with what games? I do think they need to transition from PS4 and maybe help people upgrade with incentives and actually make games. PS6 will be out with PS6, 5 & 4 ‘cross gen’ versions of every generic annual sports title. Crazy.
@TrickyDicky99 Concorde! It looks like a chip shop Guardians of the Galaxy too. The hero shooter has worn thin imo. Soulless cash grab. Concorde is taking a nose dive for sure.

@Frmknst it’s not free though to be fair. But good value if you can finish the game in 1-3 months.

Despite being another remaster/remake, it does look absolutely fantastic and great video preview from Push.
Re: Reaction: PS5 Needs a Price Cut
@Matthewnh yep… They are pretty much all PS4 Pro Pro games.
It’s such a bizarre generation.
