How often do they run discounts on their first-party games?

UltraNova987d ago

*on very old 1st party games

I'm still waiting for a discount on Returnal.

Ron_Danger987d ago

@ultra

Put Returnal on your wishlist (the heart icon next to the price in the ps5 store) and then just check your wishlist each week. It’ll say there if Returnal is on discount that week.

Eonjay987d ago

Yeah, both Sony and Microsoft are good at first party discounts. Nintendo is the exact opposite.

Vengeance1138987d ago

Returnal had a discount few weeks back at 29% off

pietro1212987d ago

UltraNova
Returnal just went on sale two weeks ago

Profchaos987d ago

For newer games I'd say once every two months. Older first party games like the order almost never

Metro exodus with free Ps5 upgrade for £8 in the UK! Bought it straight away 😃

Muigi987d ago

They didn’t fix the god awful movement speed.

badz149987d ago

The Metro Redux games on PS4 had the 2 modes that change your character movement. Spartan and Survival modes. Metro Exodus doesn't have those?

REDGUM987d ago (Edited 987d ago )

Both of the expansions are dirt cheap too. Adds masses of playtime content. Well worth it.

And to Ron_Danger, thank you, I had no idea that system worked like that.

Profchaos987d ago

Great game I brought the gold edition the Sam's story DLC was worth it for $20 and upgraded for free.

Elda987d ago

The same usual stuff that's always on sale.

Agreed. I see games on that list that are always on sale as well especially the AC games,Horizons ZD among others.

SegaSaturn669987d ago

Finally cracked and bought dissidia.

Profchaos987d ago

I guess if you ever want a Ubisoft game you simply have to wait 1 week they out their entire range in sale so frequently it's a joke. I've not seen a PSN sale to date over the last year without assassin's Creed Valhalla or WD legion.

I wanted to buy far cry 6 guess I just need to wait two weeks and get it at 25% off

For the first time in a long time I have a hard time feeling excited for these events. Maybe it's because of all these massive lay offs and closures there hasn't exactly been good news since the start of the year.

Maybe come next week I'll get a little more excited but I dunno I just can't get too excited right now

thorstein22h ago

Maybe it will be an indie showcase.

Cancelling e3 and introducing some ridiculous events..
Times have changed.. to the worse

Lightning7715h ago(Edited 15h ago)

Back then it was very exciting, great looking trailers, on stage live gameplay where yes things can and have went wrong but that's how we knew it was a real games being played instead of curated footage extra doctored up that didn't even represent the actual game half the time. Games would release 6 months to a year max not 3 years later.

I miss past E3's even the goofiness like Giant enemy crab or Riiiidge Raceeer. Xbox and Kinect glitching Nintendo's craziness. Again it was real, these days there so protective, clean, doctored sets, where nothing can absolutely go wrong. Too strict and professional with heavy PR babble with buzzwords that mean nothing. Being professional is not bad but when it's fake and corporate heavy where you're made to buy into the words rather than the game, that's how you know it's not real.

Now SFG is just sizzle reeling all the games at once. Plus past SGF events haven't been that great either. Maybe that's not Geoffs fault but the pubs and devs are simply never ready to show anything and have to wait. This gen we've been waiting and waiting for these games.

Plus lay offs as I Mentioned. I dunno Geoff needs to do what made E3 great back then, get funding support and do live stage gameplay he has the support and so why not? Pubs and devs need to do their own thing at the event again. No more doctored bull crap with PR diarrhea trying to sell the game show us with a controller in your hand instead of making empty promises.

Rant over.

I will never forget the pre-e3 one year where Kojima was teasing MGS Rising.. and Peace Walker.

Such an incredible period where studios enjoyed what they were doing and teasing their work weeks before the event.

Nowadays is half baked games, cross gen titles, useless mid gen upgrades. There is no hype anymore.
Last great show I remember is the PS EXPERIENCE maybe 3 or 4 years ago in December

gleepot15h ago

Maybe it's because Keighley sucks and never puts on good showcases.

Lightning7713h ago

They aren't geoffs games he's not makin it. Though you're half right, he has the stage and events and controls the pace, how the games are shown and presented. If I was him I would have devs have real gameplay with a stage like how E3 used to be.

No more of this curated pre done footage that we've had in the past 4 years.

Actually before that they've been doing that format for awhile. Cyber Punk being the biggest culprit of that format because you can easily deceive and lie to ppl.

Yeah Geoff is half to blame

isarai19h ago

Is it just me or is there little to no buzz or marketing leading up to this compared to previous SGF?

monkey60214h ago

Because they've been consistently boring for the last couple of years. Hard to get worked up for it now

bRuud8316h ago

Where is Sony? Still no news about the next Playstation showcase.

16h ago
Lightning7713h ago

Hopefully early next week at this point they are signed to SGF so they'll be there.

I also said in another post it's rumored to be a State Of Play now. The only AAA's I can see being announced now is Ghost 2 and Bends New game.

I can't see Santa Monica's New IP or ND New IP being announced. I can see GG being there announcing leggo Horizon, Zero Dawn remake or remaster, maybe the LS horizon game.

Skuletor13h ago

After the way they rudely hurried people off the stage at The Game Awards, I won't bother watching any of the streams for this. I'll just checkout out a few game trailers on Youtube after they're uploaded there.

Boosteroid Plans On Adding More AAAA Titles Exclusively To The Service

The VP of Marketing at Boosteroid revealed that the company is in talks with major publishers to secure exclusive games on the service.

Relientk772d ago

So they're adding Skull and Bones to their service? That doesn't seem exciting at all lol.

EternalTitan58m ago

The games should come with a torchlight to help you find the extra "A"
