    Discussion PS5 slim digital new MSRP : 379.99$ USD (until Christmas)

    Looks like this ad wasn't supposed to go up yet and maybe someone posted the wrong one... wow... Given that sale isn't active anywhere, it seems like someone jumped the gun.

    Rumor PlayStation Studio Bluepoint Is Working on a New IP – Report

    Disappointing to hear, but I'll remain open minded about what they come out with. Would have really liked them to do a few more remakes since they're the best in the business at it.

    Discussion PS5 slim digital new MSRP : 379.99$ USD (until Christmas)

    Discounting was always part of the forecast. They did the exact same thing last year. Stop it. Next you guys will be saying, oh they wouldn't have made their forecast without PS5 Pro, despite that PS5 Pro has been planned for 5 years... and was also part of the forecast. Not to mention that...

    Discussion Sony FY2024 Q2 Earnings Announcement | OT

    Maybe this guy is starting to realize why Sony needs to make short term profits. They don't have the money to buy 3rd parties right now. They're a small fish. You buy a major 3rd party not only do you have to pay the premium on the stocks, but you also absorb their debt and operating cost...

    Xbox Spyro is coming to Xbox Game Pass on November 12

    I guess it depends on your definition of popular, but they did sell HiFi Rush. So I don't think it's entirely out of the realm of possibilities, especially if they don't really have any plans on investing in the franchises. I think that opens up a possibility of Sony buying them though in...

    Discussion Evolution of Gaming: Consoles used to come with two controllers

    Context matters. Poster is a doomer and what trying to make this a doomer thread about ps5 pro and sony. Going to 1 controller had nothing to do with the internet. It was because 3D games were rarely 2 player co-op. Read the OP. Internet based consoles didn't become a thing until well after...

    Discussion Evolution of Gaming: Consoles used to come with two controllers

    Don't derail my thread with more of your garbage. You couldn't even save your progress in a game on PS1 without a memory card that was not included with the console. It cost 20 dollars for 1 card and most people needed 2. Each memory card cost 20 dollars which adjusted for inflation would be...

    Discussion Sony FY2024 Q2 Earnings Announcement | OT

    You all have destroyed this thread squabbling about what first party means (a conversation we've been having for 30 years and have never landed on an answer, so you're not going to do it here) and mods have done nothing about it.

    Discussion Evolution of Gaming: Consoles used to come with two controllers

    Something we rarely talk about is that almost all consoles used to ship with two controllers. In the advent of online gaming, I feel like not only are we losing couch co-op for 4 player games, but even 2 player games are dying out. It was rare that games were just one player back in the day...

    Leak Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition is being tested on PSN

    It's crazy how Sony hasn't released an official brand KB/M and pushed for consistent KBM support on the PS5. I think you'd get a lot more PC users to buy console if it did and devs could still segregate KBM vs gamepad users if they wanted.

    News [Hiroki Totoki] PS5 Pro's pre-orders are "slightly stronger" than PS4 Pro during the same period

    It's not so much about Microsoft control but rather gaming media wants to preserve the idea of console wars. You're going to see a lot of sites shut down that are pretty Xbox centric as well. How many sega sites do you see out there today?

    News [Hiroki Totoki] PS5 Pro's pre-orders are "slightly stronger" than PS4 Pro during the same period

    All the proponents of physical media are marching dangerously towards a day when their games get locked out from new consoles and the bitch fest they're going to have when that happens...

    Discussion Sony boss admits forcing PC gamers into PlayStation accounts can "invite pushback," but insists they have to keep games safe

    Why would they? They're pure profit. Nixxes has been one of the best purchases Sony has made in their history. Especially if they're helping GG work on their own upscaling solutions. Nixxes is as much Herman's baby as Guerrilla Games. Horizon Zero Dawn was the first PlayStation Studios PC...

    News [Hiroki Totoki] PS5 Pro's pre-orders are "slightly stronger" than PS4 Pro during the same period

    And what will you say if Lego Horizon turns out to be a quality game? Find me every year where you think Sony put out 3 or 4 bangers in their entire time in the industry. So it being 1st party matters to you? Do you care if sony owns the IP or if sony produced the game. You're entirely...

    News [Hiroki Totoki] PS5 Pro's pre-orders are "slightly stronger" than PS4 Pro during the same period

    Yeah, they actually have. This year they produced what could possibly be GOTY in Astro Bot and they produced one of their best selling games of all time in Helldivers 2. That's a successful year by any definition. For next year they have Ghost of Yotei Death Stranding 2 Marathon Probably...

    Discussion What really is first party nowadays? Definition of first/second/third party games.

    Is Spider-Man a 1st party game? Is Spider-Man 2? They didn't own Insomniac when they made the first game, but does it apply retroactively? They own Insomniac now, but they don't own the IP. Again... it's semantics at the end of the day.

    Discussion DF: after 1 year of concern trolling the ps5 pro on the cpu. DD2 is no longer considered by them

    Most people drop a 100 just on upgrading the storage by a terabyte... If 80% of consumers upgraded their drives, the real price of the PS5 was at minimum 600 dollars, but no one complained because it was optional. A PS5 Digital is 450, so removing the drive takes you down 50 dollars, but...
