    Rumor New Batman Game Might Be PlayStation Exclusive, Leaker Hints.

    Rocksteady failed trying Superman but that's the nature of the most OP character in general. For Batman Beyond, the flying.. I mean he is a Bat after all. Spider-Man 2 has pretty similar mechanics, the wingsuit so the gliding as a core gameplay works and in Beyond the grapple hook is...

    Discussion will we see FairGame$ gameplay reveal today?

    Strategically it would be the worst time to reveal it in the aftermath of Concord but then again you have to deal with it anyway at some point, but imo better later a bit subdued. They probably planned to reveal gameplay if its coming first half 2025 (Feb?). They came on high off Helldivers 2...

    Rumor New Batman Game Might Be PlayStation Exclusive, Leaker Hints.

    It's time They already have a beneficial marketing with WB (even though Suicide Squad flopped) so I would argue there is not really a need to lock it down but would be a great get if its the Beyond series. Question is how fast, probably cross-gen with the next console is my bet.

    Discussion State of Play, September 24th 2024

    They said 20 titles and I expect Monster Hunter & Dynasty Warriors being there as a no brainer + some VR titles like Metro & Aliens. Obviously big Japanese publishers showing up, sign of life from Pragmata? I'll be pretty content with SH2, DS2, RE9 and MH running on the Pro. I agree with not...

    Discussion Did you know that Dark Souls is older than Ocarina of Time was when it first released in 2011?

    Yeah I know, he felt embarrassed if people compared the two. I've seen often discourse it being the ''adult version'' over the years but that's taking away the pioneering Zelda has done and in what timeframe/state of the industry was. Like for example the Z-locking alone and rolling, that lock...

    Playstation [Billbil-kun] PS5 Slim Digital 30th anniversary to cost $500, 30th anniversary DualSense to cost $80

    So a 50 mark-up from the standard slim console (with the goodies and extra drive plate). And the standard price for LE controllers. I expected worse tbh although wouldn't surprise if it actually is pricier for us in EU. I'll get the Edge & Portal at least, thought about getting the Slim for the...

    Discussion Did you know that Dark Souls is older than Ocarina of Time was when it first released in 2011?

    ''justify ignoring'' Topic is about Dark Souls vs OoT and its impact compared to each other, literally acknowledged Demon's Souls birthing the genre. I actually played it on PS3 unlike a lot of faux pretenders. And going back from Dark Souls this stands heavily no contest. Lore, combat...

    Discussion Did you know that Dark Souls is older than Ocarina of Time was when it first released in 2011?

    Time flies! Ocarina was old back then but to comprehend Dark Souls has the same distance.. yeah does not feel like it. Post reminds me of 2 things how I went into my local games store somewhere in 2013 and the manager was telling me about Dark Souls and how much of a steal it was with the DLC...

    Rumor Apparently Concord Cost Sony 400 million and was internally championed as future of playstation

    On top of that a 5v5 Hero Shooter which is one of the more cheaper games to produce even if the game had high production quality. 400 million for 6-8 (allegedly 12) maps and 16 characters in 3 years? GoW:R was around 200, LoU2 for 220 and SM2 at 300 million. But Concord has a 400 million...

    Rumor Apparently Concord Cost Sony 400 million and was internally championed as future of playstation

    Still that would require insane numbers, only way that would happen is if they got ripped off. But Sony knows the market and they are thoroughly represented in that area for decades at this point. If they got those insane salaries.. I don't care about Sony's financials but they could'v easily...

    Rumor Apparently Concord Cost Sony 400 million and was internally championed as future of playstation

    I have to push back on this about Hermen being the one to go multiplat. Sean Layden has said in the WUPS podcast that the PC strat was his idea, he is the one that opened Pandora's box and timeline aligns he also stated that GaaS was an inevitable model they would pursue (metric based). Also...

    Playstation Playstation announces the PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection

    Looking at it more extensively I don't like the subdued grey of the middle part. Think the contrast and look would be greater/cleaner for the console if it was black like the standard ones. Will still try to get it for collection sake.

    News Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered leaked by retailer

    Like I said for Horizon, just to have some operating profits from the studio to hold over until their title.. from a business sense. They probably regret putting it in the collection and not selling as a remaster earlier. I can see big improvements for Zero Dawn due to Decima but DG.. DualSense...

    News Concord Director Steps Down

    Yep the director stepped down to a more support role, but from the cut throat Sony perspective they gonna gut the studio and extract some of the talent. I would'v said prior they could support Bungie, but Totoki has halted resources over there. The name is tainted so if they even remain, best...

    Leak State of Play will be 3rd party focused and uneventful according to Shinobi via Grubb

    Yep my expectations are just DS2 to be in the spotlight like they'v said. The rest of 2024 is laid out as well. Venom from the leaks and maybe FairGame$ next to Marathon from 1st party. But they'll hold off for next year. So 1 SP and MP each half of 2025. I do think plans to show FairGame$ soon...

    Analysis Digital Foundry: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth: PS5 Pro vs PS5 - A Vast Improvement At 60FPS

    Image quality is a massive improvement, the vaseline smear was annoying in performance mode (as well as the ghosting). Now address the pop-in Square, but very good results.

    Discussion I have a feeling this Horizon Zero Dawn Remaster will launch with the PS5 Pro

    It benefits the standard game visuals since you have a outlook on the sky and it being more realistic from 2D info going to voxel based which they could't due to the PS4 to what they achieved on PS5. While it does not impact gameplay, the visuals and lighting will. They back ported it to the...
