    Discussion Will the reaction to this year's state of play be as bad as the reaction to last year's showcase if it's the same level of quality?

    Title. Last year everyone was pissed at the crappy showcase due to lack of big new announcements for Sony's 1st party games. I don't expect them to change that here, but a common sentiment was that "they should have called it a state of play instead" So if they put out another show of last...

    Discussion The absolute state of pc gaming

    $1200 for a basement tier build is just sad In 2017 a comparable build in terms of tiering would run you around $6-700.

    Discussion Now that FY23 is over, what are your hopes and expectations for PS during the next midrange plan?

    Next midrange plan runs from 2024-2027, which should take us to the end of the gen. My personal hopes: 1) partnering with or acquiring some eastern devs for more jrpg-style games; hiring directorial talent from asian countries to help with combat systems in 1p games (e.g. bloodborne 2) 2)...

    Discussion Mutahar, one of the biggest social media voices in the PC gaming space, is advocating for pirating Ghost of Tsushima

    Absolutely disgusting. Mutahar has always seemed like kind of an egocentric weirdo with a big case of Dunning-Kruger, but this just exposes any "but PC players aren't thieves" narrative. These people will make up any excuse to steal your product. Sony, stop the madness. PC is not a place...

This puts to rest any fearmongering that...

    Discussion Why the PS5 Pro is absolutely necessary

    I've been seeing a lot of opinions being written around the internet about how the PS5 Pro "feels unnecessary" and how we've "barely scratched the surface of the base PS5". In my opinion this is absolutely the wrong lense to look at the PS5 Pro through. These days software development cycles...
