Sony Consoles and Updates

[Guest]

Don’t forget tcgs are doing a talk over.

7 minutes until the State of Play folks.

[DANGERMAN]

the writing in Call of Duty... woof that's bad 

[DANGERMAN]

PS+ games are the well timed Last of Us Remastered, and the "no one in Europe wants it" MLB The Show 2019

Wattam December 2019,

Arise 2020,

Humanity 2020,

CoD: MW campaign trailer

Death Stranding PS4 Pro Bundle

[DANGERMAN]

Video for those that want to watch it

 

 

 

Not a lot there that I'm interested in. I think I'd have loved a VR LA Noire at the time, not sure I want to play it again now. Space Channel 5 in VR looks very much like a Spatular game. 

 

Humanity and the Noby Noby Boy guy's new game didn't really do a lot for me. COD, as mentioned, has an awful script. I'm not sure if I want to play it, but Afterparty looks a good idea.

 

Civ 6 made me want to play Civ 6, but PS4 is not the place I'll get around to it. Last of Us 2 looked like more of the same, hopefully it's less stilted, we'll find out when we see more gameplay because I still don't believe that old gameplay video represents what we'll be playing

Bit if a damp squib again.

ha yes, i'll get that. im pretty rubbish at space channel 5 though, never managed to finish it, so hope they add an easy mode or something.

This State of Play felt a bit like "here's a release date for Last of Us II and a couple of random trailers we could as well just have uploaded on youtube at any given time".

[DisturbedSwan]

Yeah I agree @Maryokutai. Aside from TLOUP2 it was quite lacking, I did like the look of Wattam, Arise and Humanity but as you say they couldn’t just been put up on YT really.

 

I do think the October PS+ games are fantastic though, I’m not into Baseball but getting The Show is great, as is getting TLOU Remastered, I’ve never played Left Behind so that will be rectified shortly.

Shawn Layden is leaving Sony. 
 

[retroed]

Shawn is being replaced by Jim Ryan. He who said cross-play is bad for the kids, and why would people want to play old games because the graphics are bad.

Playstation Now is getting a price cut!

PlayStation Now is getting a permanent price cut and a time-limited selection of high profile games, as part of a big push for Sony's game streaming and download service.

Here in the UK, a monthly subscription will drop from £13 to £9, or from £85 to £50 per year.

In Europe, you'll pay €10/€60 per month/year, down from €15/€100. In the US, those same figures apply in dollars.

For the next three months, PlayStation Now will also host excellent Sony exclusives God of War, Uncharted 4 and Infamous: Second Son, as well Grand Theft Auto 5.

These are temporary additions - they'll disappear on 2nd January 2020 - but Sony has promised more "marquee" games every month, on top of the "evergreen" PS Now catalogue.

 

"PS Now will be offered at a more compelling price that is comparable to other entertainment streaming services on the market," PlayStation exec Grace Chen said in a blog post today.

 

Talking up the offering, Chen also pointed out PlayStation Now was "the largest game library of any console game subscription service, with more than 800 games available".

I said they’d try to Gamepass this shit eventually. 

 

But these subscription services won’t win this new arms race by the amount of games on them, it will come down to who gets the newest shit on their first and most consistently. Also they need to be smarter than GTA5. Y’know, the biggest selling video game ever or something. Everyone already has that.

Charts every month for years disagree.

[Maf]

I mean yes, but it has to be the biggest game on PS4 outside of Fortnite or something. I don’t see how it ups the value proposition of PS Now considering how popular it already is + how long it has been out for. How GTA keeps selling is a mystery to me, but I have to assume that if someone really wanted it they already have it.

[shinymcshine]

Wonder if they'll offer a rebate to anyone who'd recently paid £85 for a year ?

[Guest]

They will do. For vr. No brainier.

How can you have a built in camera on a console? Bundled I can see, although I'd have thought there was an expensive lesson from history they could call on, but people put there consoles out of sight , meaning the camera wouldn't have you in shot
