    Rumor Sony is preparing for a new PSP that will run PS4 games

    The PSP 3.0 CAN sell well with a lineup of exclusive games and the ability to run games from the PS5. But Sony killed its exclusive games, and moved them to its competitor in the form of PC\Steam, and a competitor of the potential PSP 3, in the form of SteamDeck and its analogs. Sony can't...

    Rumor Sony is preparing for a new PSP that will run PS4 games

    Unfortunately, Sony doesn't care about old hits. PS2\3 classics, including releases like GTA VC and SA (PS2 versions were sold on PS4, but Sony did nothing to convince T2\Rockstar to keep them), still look good and may interest new buyers, but Sony is not interested. They'd rather make a PC...

    Rumor Sony is preparing for a new PSP that will run PS4 games

    The problem is that SteamDeck1 runs PS4 games better and more stable than PS4, including such hits (in my personal opinion) as The Witcher 3 (no update, it's terrible because CDPR just made a compilation of mods), AC Origins, Valkyrie Chronicles 4, and many more. In most cases, if you roughly...

    Rumor Sony is preparing for a new PSP that will run PS4 games

    Yes, it is obvious. In 2026, SteamDeck2 and similar devices will be released, and then all Sony games will be used to promote them, including those that are currently not working well on SD1. Because everything ported by Sony to torrent automatically ends up on handhelds.

    Rumor Sony is preparing for a new PSP that will run PS4 games

    After the release of SteamDeck 2, it will be very difficult for them. Even now, SteamDeck 1 and various PC hardware are actively advertised and promoted with releases from Sony, and Sony is only talking about handhelds for projects with !!!PS4!!!? Don't forget about the piracy factor, on SD...

    Discussion Cultural appropriation, revision of history or just appreciation of the culture. What are your thoughts on Yasuke in the new Assassin's Creed.

    How dare you... How dare you make good use of the setting of feudal Japan? In general, the quality of AC dropped significantly in Valhalla, when sidequests were de facto cut from the game and more emphasis was placed on open combat. The same can be said about the quality of the setting itself...

    News HELLDIVERS 2 IS GETTING A STAR WARS MOD, AND IT LOOKS FANTASTIC

    The only mods I know of on DS were when pigs broke the game when they invaded, changed the parameters of enemies, and planted cheat items in the host's inventory, which got the host banned. The only way to get the ban lifted is to write a letter to FS explaining the situation and asking them...

    News [DF] “Microsoft seems to be helping on destroying its own credibility” Richard Leadbetter on the latest DF Direct

    Don't worry, DF is a division of Eurogamer, they receive PC hardware from vendors for review, including marketing reviews. I think they will always choose the "right" side.

    Discussion The Doom & Gloom posting is out of control

    SteamDeck 2.0 will be able to do this in 2026. I doubt that Sony will release any big bengers by then... And if they do, they will end up on torrents, much faster than Sony does now.

    Discussion Square Enix goes multiplatform, focus on quality then quantity

    In the case of F7R and Stellar Blade, Sony should have shouted louder that "these games will also be released on PC" while talking about "the future of Sony on PC." This cut off a significant portion of buyers who could have purchased the game and console, and made PS5 owners think twice about...

    Discussion The Doom & Gloom posting is out of control

    Nooooo, you're just being gloomy. Let's wait for the showcase, there will definitely be new single IPs, revival of classics, announcement of the purchase of Rockstar and EA, as well as a new expensive Mass Effect 4, which will be made together with Sony, and will take into account all the...

    Discussion The Doom & Gloom posting is out of control

    Is there any good news related to Sony? Even among my friends, there are those who are ready to build a new PC and put XSX and PS5 on the shelf. They bought most of Sony's games at launch, and now some of them are ready to refuse to buy them on PC, or just get them "for free". Personally, I'm...

    Discussion Square Enix goes multiplatform, focus on quality then quantity

    The smell of Sega's "success" is in the air... It was the same smell when Sega single-handedly destroyed its console business, and then years later hurt sales of its main game series, and destroyed its smaller IPs when it got into PC and GP.

    Discussion i can't see PS6 selling 100M+ with Sony putting singleplayer games on PC

    I do not deny this. The XONE managed to sell relatively well, thanks to exclusive and good games, as well as the reputation of the X360. That was BEFORE the PC odyssey. After it started, sales plummeted, and that's taking into consideration the numerous discounts MS used to try to boost sales.
