In 2021, a number of hit PlayStation exclusives were released by different studios, and there was enough of a variety to please almost all gamers.
Ghost of Tsushima's upcoming PC port may be in trouble, as the game has been delisted from PC storefronts in several regions without PSN access.
Legends is great. But the real draw is the massive Single Player game. Just sell a cheaper version in those regions that has no online multiplayer.
I really don't understand this move from a financial perspective. Whole thing seems counterintuitive to selling a product as much as possible. If you don't have the network reach that Steam or even GoG has why do this to yourself?
What a tame thread full of reasonable responses. Can we give MS the same treatment?
At this point, I'm starting to believe the theory that Sony wants to force PS Plus to play multiplayer on PC. That'd be suicide if they haven't learned anything from the Helldivers 2 fiasco.
Sucker Punch Productions tweets: "Thank you for your feedback.
Just so you are aware, A PSN account is required for Legends online multiplayer mode and to use PlayStation overlay. It is not required to play the singleplayer game."
Makes sense, not like an offline single player session needed to be monitored for offensive material or cheat devices.
I would only use it for Trophy/Achievement crossover if there was sign in for single player, but overall all, I don't really need/want it.
A new Ghost of Tsushima update has introduced a nasty stuttering issue. Patch 2.19 released just hours ago, primarily adding crossplay support ahead of the PC version's launch on the 16th May. However, there are widespread reports that the PS5 and PS4 title is now borderline unplayable, with players encountering regular hitches, stutters, and freezing all across Jin's adventure.
Sucker Punch - "We have resolved a backend issue that was causing gameplay to consistently hitch for players.
This does not require a game update, but we recommend restarting your game or console to ensure you have the fix."
I own it on PS5 but can’t wait to enjoy it on PC. Never got around to playing it on PS5. Sucker punch are one of my favorite game developers (still hoping for another infamous or at the very least infamous 1-2 Remastered collection)
"ruined the game"....
a bit superlative there. the game isn't "ruined", its got a bug. bugs can be fixed. when something is ruined, it is no longer usable permanently.. software is hardly permanent and can be fixed 100% of the time. so while it may be unplayable for some right now, and that's annoying, it isn't ruined... unless they leave it... which they obv won't.
Rift Apart and Deathloop were great - finished both. Returnal I really liked, but wouldn't say I loved. Not really into the super hero stuff or demon souls stuff so didn't get into any of that.
Good, not great.
I would only consider it “great” when taking into account how early we are in the ps5 lifecycle.
I wonder if 2022 will be “great”. I think we need something besides Horizon 2, GoW 2, and a racing game to break that threshold (I couldn’t care less about GT7. It’s a tech demo for me.).
2 solid exclusives within a yeah certainly appeases me, but it doesn’t impress me.
I guess it was okay. Am still waiting for a current gen fighting game.
Not really, it was just ok. 2022 on the other hand....
I mean its normal that the first year of a consoles not great.
R&C was an amazing peak into what "next gen" could be, and i haven't been that anxious to get back to a game for a long time. Sucks tho cause everything else seems to be back peddling into cross gen territory putting "next gen" essentially on hiatus. I'm sure the games will still be great, just not fully taking advantage of what these new consoles can do
