mfnick Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I’m with you Maf. Ragnarok is meh. Returnal isnt that great either though so get fucked I guess. I think Sony are going to have a really slow 2-3 years. They basically went hard on live service and now that ship has sailed they are going to pivot back to what they were doing before but now they’ve got a couple of years of dev time missing due to the service games fuck up. But as Nag says they do a good job of making a few 3rd party games feel like 1st party such as FFVII RR. So I think they’ll be fine. I’ve also seen that mentioned about the PS5 winding down. WTF?!?! This gen has barely started. 2 years of the PS5 were fucked too as no one could get hold of them. That quote better be taken way out of context. Although I still think these consoles are really underpowered considering how many concessions need to be made for modern games to run on them. Can’t even get cross gen games running at 60fps without big drops in resolution most of the time. So a Pro would actually be something I’d be interested in.

Snaggletooth Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Loved Ragnarok thought it was great. Returnal not my bag. Good thing there are some big 3rd party titles due this year. I think sony fucked up going too big on online service games, almost like they said to all their studios make a live service game, and hope at least one would stick. Totally at the peril of plenty of new and original content, leaving this year flat before back tracking. Unfortunately Sony has closed so many studios over the years who were staples of putting out content. Studio Liverpool would have guaranteed a launch wipeout game. They need mid tear teams with lower budgets they can get to put titles out. Then again concrete genie devs were a good example of not meeting sales expectations. I think there is stigma in the media when sony / ms put out lower budget releases (with the occasional exception.) they get reviewed well but then moaned at that its not AAA content. I think were at the point where if we want original content we may need to accept they arent always going to be top tier titles (im claiming that TTT games tag). Anyway veered way off topic. Im surprised Sony hasnt coughed up for some more 3rd party exclusives as its an old business model they live to fall back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyKurosaki Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I’d love a new Parappa The Rapper/Um Jammer Lammy. I may as well be asking for a house on the moon. But hey, you gotta do what? YOU GOTTA BELIEVE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one-armed dwarf Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 On first party, there might be a new Astrobot. Hopefully PSVR (or hybrid vr) cause that platform is looking kinda anemic even by VR standards and its a space which needs some competition (oh, and wrt the above tweet it would be ace if they start doing that with VR games too, porting to other platforms. Though I'm not sure this is really a growth area for Sony anymore) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggletooth Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Sony and MS will form an alliance all future consoles will be open source much like video formats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 @one-armed dwarf oh amazing. A new Astrobot will get me to buy a new VR set. The first game was brilliant. Top 5 Sony game of the the last 10 years imo EDIT: Actually top 5 all time. Done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I suppose now it's out there from someone else, I can say that I also heard separately that there's a new Astrobot game coming 🙊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nag Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I'll bet @regemond knew months ago... the cunts too busy bragging about free games to tell us.😤 Spoiler 😘 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyKurosaki Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 More Astrobot can only be a good thing. I’ll take that over anything even remotely Bloodborne flavoured any day of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metroid66 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I didn't realise that was well thought of. When I got my PS5 last month I put it on for about 5 minutes and left it. Thought it was a tech demo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nag Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 It is... apart from it utilising the Duelsense more than than pretty much anything else I have no idea why it's so highly regarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 The PS5 pack in game was a great, fun little game but the amazing one is the VR game. I was probably extra wow’d by it because I’ve played only a tiny bit of VR but - I was blown away. That game was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmmark Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 PS5 first party exclusives coming to ‘other platforms’ confirms Sony president Quote While some thought he might only be talking about the PC, the interim head of PlayStation has once again talked about going multiformat. After the last set of financial results for Microsoft and Sony – that included the all-important Christmas gift-giving season – both companies have been panicking about profits and, rather than cut back on the budget of new games both have come up with the same idea: release first party games on each other’s formats.

Maryokutai Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I can see it on Switch with some bonus content, like a red cap for Joel and a peach dress for Ellie for maximum immersion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
