    News Gears Of War Designer Wants To See The Franchise On PS5

    Basically agree, but aren't they gonna try to make it relevant again in the next couple years?

    News As more developers confirm, it looks likely that ALL Adult Swim Games titles will be removed by May

    They're a business and they own the IP so I guess it's right and good that they make the decision that's right for them. I can't think of any social principles that might count for more than the total authority of a corporation and its sacrosanct IP ownership.

    News UK Monthly Charts-PS5 #1, Helldivers 2 consecutive weeks sales growth (up 115% in week 2, up 21% week 3). A hit on both PC/PS5 with 57% sales on PS5!

    these are uk numbers and you're ok extrapolating it to the whole world? but you didn't like the logic of comparing known steam numbers with a known fixed player cap?

    Playstation If You Were in Charge Of Playstation, What would you do Differently?

    You evidently need it explained to you because you keep saying incoherent things. There's no "console audience". There's just games. If I plug a computer into a TV and play The Last of Us Pt 1 with a Dualshock, am I "Console Audience"? It's a totally meaningless objection you're raising.

    Discussion Peter Moore former VP at MSFT: Final Console Generation, MS 3rd Party, putting Halo on PS, leaving the market & whether there is a need for consoles.

    Great quotes! Peter Moore was the only good Xbox exec in my book. I think the two most important bits are here, about the cost of putting out console hardware (as Microsoft, one of the worlds richest corps!) "And why do you need a bespoke piece of hardware that costs us, Microsoft, billions...

    Playstation If You Were in Charge Of Playstation, What would you do Differently?

    Why not? There's no capability of a console that PC can't do as well or better. Like this one: https://www.eurogamer.net/digitalfoundry-2022-god-of-war-on-pc-is-a-simply-sensational-port

    Playstation If You Were in Charge Of Playstation, What would you do Differently?

    I think it has to do with the awkward PSN growing pains on PS3, the cutoff in digital libraries, many of the exciting games having significant multiplayer components that won't work, etc. I want it to happen, but I wouldn't bet on it.

    Playstation If You Were in Charge Of Playstation, What would you do Differently?

    I agree it's a huge technical challenge, but even if they could do it technically, I'm not convinced they would. I suspect the only way we're gonna play PS3 games legitimately outside PS3 hardware is if they do a remaster/port.

    Playstation If You Were in Charge Of Playstation, What would you do Differently?

    too many great games are stranded on ps3, and it doesn't seem like sony has a big incentive to ever do back compat.

    Playstation If You Were in Charge Of Playstation, What would you do Differently?

    - Playstation becomes an open PC platform. You buy a 'PS6' and it works exactly how you'd expect, but you can also just install the PS OS on any regular PC you want or launch the PS6 UI as a Windows app and run games from your Playstation library (including PS4/PS5, yes there's some...

    News Apple unbanning epic games account and reversing course. |UP| Epic store coming to IOS and Android.

    Establishing the standard that public criticism of Apple is just cause to have your ability to publish revoked is dark shit man. Do you support the idea that Sony can justifiably close access to your Playstation account if you criticize them on Twitter? You're not forced to do business if you...

    Rumor Rumor: Sony is working on multiple Remakes and Remasters for 2024 & 2025

    There's a lot of stuff they should just release all the source code and art to like MAG, Warhawk, Fat Princess, etc. Lots of great games from the PS3 era that will never be brought back to sale. If they're not doing a SOCOM reboot, I think we've seen the last of Starhawk. Tho tbf, I wouldn't...

    folks, these should be build-time environment variables in your CI/CD system, not hardcoded.
