Rumor: Sony plans to launch the PS5 and PS5 Pro at the same time.

in Sony Discussion on 21 September 2019

The only reason this might be viable is if the projected tech, for a small jump in price, allows them to offer a serious bump in fidelity. Perhaps a 4k version for everything? Hardware enthusiasts will know what might be possibly for an extra 100-150 more) Advantages for this would be not having the competition offer more powerful hardware at launch for marketing purposes, while also not having...

6/14 of SIE's WWS only produced 4 games this generation. Should they improve?

in Sony Discussion on 29 August 2019

LordLichtenstein said: Polyphony Digital- Gran Turismo Sport Santa Monica Studio- God of War Bend Studio- Days Gone Media Molecule- Dreams Generally speaking I think all the studios have slowed down considerably. It's now really only about one or two big titles over the course of a generation per studio. The budgets are higher, it takes longer, but at the moment they're...

Days Gone looks really meh

in Sony Discussion on 20 January 2019

LudicrousSpeed said: It reminds me of games like ReCore or State of Decay, solid titles that due to the lack of other exclusives on their platform, got hyped beyond what they should have been. Sony hasn’t released a big exclusive since GoW IIRC. This is releasing early in the year when there’s not much else, and as a result, it’s being made into a bigger title than it...

Days Gone looks really meh

in Sony Discussion on 20 January 2019

GOWTLOZ said: It's perhaps one of the least interesting because it's not treading any new ground. It's a mash up of a few different existing and already executed ideas. Not every film, book, comic -insert whatever medium you like- has to completely reinvent the wheel. Sometimes, just a very solid piece of work in an established genre is enough. Also, a little ironic...

Sony should acquire Insomniac

in Sony Discussion on 16 June 2018

Gigantic waste of money. The dev already makes exclusive content for their platform and has a sizable team, so a buyout would be expensive with not a huge amount to gain. Insomniac also have never produced a breakout hit. They've released their share of well liked, but commerically unsuccessful titles and a mix of titles with reasonable, but not exceptional sales. Sony would do far better to fund...

PS4: Days Gone - New Gameplay [Game Informer]

in Sony Discussion on 13 May 2018

Pros: nice graphics, amazing atmosphere and locations, decision making elements and characters (good not great) Cons: Fade to black screens, running animation, lack of animation when picking things up, the way the things you pick up look, the gunplay (its a bit soft, lacks impact particulary the crossbow), the way it almost looks like he was getting spammed by zombie hugs, dropped...

Feelings about Uncharted 4?

in Sony Discussion on 19 April 2018

Best game ever made. It definitely has a few pacing issues, but the gameplay is tight, I loved the flashback scenes, the story is good, characters are excellent and the game is just exploding with detail. The craftsmanship is unrivalled. Even 10 playthroughs in you notice new things....

Fortnite hits 3.4m Concurrent players!

in Gaming Discussion on 09 February 2018

LudicrousSpeed said: Plerpy_ said: Not only is Fortnite free but it's also, in my personal opinion, a better product than PUBG. And I think more and more people are having the same opinion. It’s free. It takes 3 platforms to exceed PUBG numbers on one. When it launches on PS4 the numbers are going to skyrocket. I know it’s natural to compare them, but they really...

NPD: Playstation 4 was the Best Selling Console of 2017 in the U.S.

in Gaming Discussion on 21 January 2018

quickrick said: newwil7l said: This. MS literally handed them the market on a silver platter and the PS4 isn't even that far ahead of the XBO. sony gave them a market with ps3, and there mistakes took a long time to correct, unlike xbone, which fixed them right away. That's ignoring the massive efforts MS made to increase the product appeal for the...

NPD: Playstation 4 was the Best Selling Console of 2017 in the U.S.

in Gaming Discussion on 19 January 2018

FIT_Gamer said: In this way, PS4 reaffirms its title as the most sold console in this generation and continues to dominate a market as important as the US. It has a 3m lead over it's main competitor which has had a myriad of problems since launch from marketing, to pricing and software. I'd hardly consider it dominating consider all the cards landed in their favour. In fact it's...

I'd play a Nintendo game if it was put in front of me (and enjoy it), or If I arrived at a house with other people playing I'd join in, but I'd never actually go out and buy one. There's just far more appealing stuff on the...

If GTA will be set in Europe....

in Gaming Discussion on 15 January 2018

OdinHades said: Frankfurt, Germany. Most beautiful city in europe. But honestly I really don't care too much where GTA takes place. Really? I wouldn't even put it in the top 20. A modern city centre with no personality that clashes with the old surrounding areas. It doesn't even look particularly German with 80% of it rebuilt after the war. Take a look at places like Bergen-...

xMetroid said: Right, the "I don't like Nintendo games" is the new excuse nowadays. It's like Metroid/Zelda/Kirby are all the same artstyle, type of game and everything. Seriously we all know these people only play games for how "cool" it can make them look, they don't really care about the rest. No, you just have to realise there really are a huge number of gamers who have no...

Just as they can call you sir and be disrespectfu at the same time. It's 2018 sir isn't needed anywhere. We aren't uneducated serfs. I'm just really not sure you're serious....

NintendoPie said: DonFerrari said: A console selling better because it's better is one of the worst reasonings you ever saw? The fundamentals of the reasoning are flawed. The Switch has had a better first year as a games console than multiple years of the XBO, and anyone with a sense of clarity can tell that, going forward, the Switch will continue to have better games...

Just looking at totals, PS4 reaches 27 million in Europe, should will pass the SNES (22.88m) in NA next week and will reach over 12 million in ROTW. Interesting to see if it can pass the Wii in EU next year, I think it probably will. ...
