@Seafort, so? That's always been in their plans it's a live service game pc makes sense. People wilthin in those countries (some aren't even actual countries)can keep buying those games using a VPN like they always have. Yes 700 million is small compared to the money they make on their own store front. They're not gonna jeopardize that for a platform that has rampant cheating/stealing that encourages customers to not buy their hardware. PC is an open platform Sony can use it ...
@Notellin, of course you'll believe an embittered ex-employee with an axe to grind because it's evil Sony he's complaining about. You guys act like days gone was this huge success and somehow Sony hates easy money a sequel would have generated. The game was mid and so was the response to it. They're still supporting the developer who is making a new ip that could be great.
Good lord, Mr Ross move on already. Still whining about what your ex-employer is doing instead of talking about the project you are working on now.
It's not a new strategy you idiot they've been saying this since 2021. They have the numbers, they know what's important to playstation and where they make their money. Herman was just being nice, pc brings next to nothing to playstation, they made almost 30 billion in revenue last fiscal year of it 700 million was from pc its irrelevant. Day and date at best would have no effect on their bottom line at worst it would delay development times further, expose their 1st party games d...
@Magat then the problem is you, listen to yourself. If there are minorities in a videogame it's a problem for you? Lol. These are the concerns of a child, get a grip.
@Storm, honestly it kind of nuts how people are so sensitive to such things, I didn't even notice.
What woke stuff? Because there is a female/minorities?
Your upset someone is interested in something you're not.
Game looks good and well made to me. The characters were extremely derivative so there's that. I have never played overwatch or really any online game since the ps3 really beside shadow fall and helldivers 2. So it may work for me.
So dissapointed there's no vr mode, rescue mission was my favorite game of the ps4 generation. Flat screen astro is great but not half as good as rescue mission, not even close.
PC is an open platform, Sony will release their games on it in a manner that fits with their bottom line. Dummies act like these decisions are not backed by research and data by people who are paid to weigh/monitor these decisions 24/7. Playstation matters to Sony in a way that some don't understand or pretend not to. Microsoft unlike the other 2 platform holders can be reckless and take big gambles with their xbox division because it has almost no relevance to their bottom line. There is...
He could have said anything and there are gamers that would triggered by it. Console warriors and cry babies who have never gotten over their videogame daddy dying in tlou2. Lol.
Article is your typical whining about "the state of gaming" that is so prevalent these days. The Irony about all this complaining is that there has never been more great games available to play then today, with more ways to access them. Then it dives into the usual nonsense about exclusivity not mattering, which has become the mantra of gaming media since Microsoft told them it doesn't. When did gaming media become so hyper focused of spreading bitterness and negativity? Growing...
@Ripper, I remember how that game was torn apart even before it was released. I played and agreed with much of the criticism, the end bosses were terrible the game was way too short. But the weapons, gunplay and graphics were phenomenal. Haven't played hellblade 2 but watching it, it looks like you walk on rails the take turns combat is a joke. The graphics look fantastic at times, saw her wadding through water in some underground cave with a torch, impressive. Wish NT would have focused...
@frosty, for people like Just, including anyone that can be categorized as being a minority in any kind of media is "forcing it down his throat " lol. I to don't care for poor "checking box" inclusion for inclusion sake but that was not the case with tlou2.
@just he has been behind 2 of the greatest games ever made. Tlou2 was easily the best non-vr game made last gen. Losers just can't get over Joel's death, mixed with the usual console war nonsense. The fact that you so casually call him a sob shows how deranged some gamers have become about Drunkmann.
He didn't clarify, his words we poorly relayed especially by outlets like Kataku. Read the actual answers and there is nothing wrong with them, it's very benign stuff. The only reason for the fake outrage is the massive hate many gamers have for this man after tlou2 and the media's catering to this mindless mob.
Hellblade would be much more impressive if it wasn't on rails. In all for graphics.
Nothing unexpected no matter the score, the game is exactly the one Nt wanted to make. I'd like them to take that technical excellence in presentation to a more gameplay focused ip, where combat would be just as important as graphics. Would take their studio to the next level.
neimahi, it is not the worst console generation not even close. I see people mindlessly repeating this propaganda spread by the media. There has never been more great games available to play and more ways to access them.
