    (Updated) Sony Pictures reportedly in talks to buy Paramount

    Potential $9 billion dollar acquisition for Sony pictures but PS gets like $4 billion for a dysfunctional studio like bungie. If this goes through the whole "Acquisitions costs will relieve next fiscal year" will go out the window.

    Discussion Sony say inclusion of their first party onto PS+ has had a big (negative) effect on traditional sales

    This was the same Sony that thought it was a good idea to buy bungie ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    News Matt Piscatella: Sub. growth has flattened & sub services account for only 10% video game spending in the US. |UP| Game Hardware Market Peaked in 2008

    Zoomers were the kids playing the ps4. This whole idea that Gen Z doesn't care about consoles is ridiculous. I can't wait when we revisit this conversation when GTA6 releases.

    Playstation Jim Ryan's 30 years at PlayStation has officially ended. Says PS5 "on track" to be Sony’s most successful & PS2 sold 160 million (PS official podcast)

    I don't see the PS5 passing PS2 or getting close to it. If covid never happened it might have but that chance is long gone. PS5 will do crazy numbers when GTA6 releases but I don't think it would be enough for the PS5 to pass PS2.

    Playstation Jim Ryan's 30 years at PlayStation has officially ended. Says PS5 "on track" to be Sony’s most successful & PS2 sold 160 million (PS official podcast)

    Imagine if the switch doesn't pass the 155 million number these Nintendo fans keep insisting. The meltdowns will be insane from them.

    News Enthusiasm for the PS5 Pro seems to be non-existent amongst most video game developers, with most claiming there is no need for it

    I'm not saying your wrong its just that 60fps will just never be the standard. Their will be games that will push hardware beyond what its capable of and you can't maintain those framerates or there are times where devs just don't bother optimizing. You wont ever have that consistent experience...

    News Enthusiasm for the PS5 Pro seems to be non-existent amongst most video game developers, with most claiming there is no need for it

    I don't think a game that is currently the front runner for GOTY and one of the highest scoring FF games ever can be called "rushed". Its more so due to engine limitations with UE4 since its obvious the scope for FF7 Rebirth is much bigger than remake.

    News Enthusiasm for the PS5 Pro seems to be non-existent amongst most video game developers, with most claiming there is no need for it

    I expect more bitching about performance by pc dudes especially. People don't seem to get that Hardware and Software (Games) are in a constant arms race against each other.

    News Enthusiasm for the PS5 Pro seems to be non-existent amongst most video game developers, with most claiming there is no need for it

    That's a Square Enix problem not really the hardware. UE4 is also pretty trash so that's probably why FF7 Rebirth don't look up to par compared to other PS5 games.

    Discussion Will 2024 be the first year PS Studios don't release a new single player game?

    They won't buy more studios/publishers. Totoki said that acquisitions costs would ease next fiscal year. Besides their investors are already whining about decreased profit margins.

    They will always charge full price on pc otherwise they wouldn't bother porting at all.

    Discussion Horizon Forbidden West climbing the Steam top sellers list. |UP| Releases on Steam with lower player count than Zero: Dawn.

    Only way I see pc dying is if NVIDIA decide to just ditch the gaming gpu market in full pursuit of AI on top of ending driver updates. Or valve makes a catastrophic move and steam commits seppuku.

    Wonder what total sales are by now. Don't understand why neither Arrowhead or Sony aren't announcing numbers.

    Rumor God of War project being worked on not by Santa Monica Studios. Last of Us II for PC is being announced. GOW R coming to PC.

    I don't understand these placements for these pc ports. HFW on the same day as DD2. If the rumor of GTA6 coming out in Q1 2025 is true the GOWR port would suffer since all eyes would be on GTA6 even though its not on pc. Unless there are some people in Playstation who deliberately want these...

    Review Dragon's Dogma 2 Review and |OT| "If victory is elusive, seek new allies".

    No one reviews games based on their performance anymore. If they still did, Nintendo games wouldn't be getting the high meta scores they currently are getting.
