Bend's legacy is a shitty low 70 on Metacritic? Yikes!
Aggregated stats never tell the full story. Bend rereleased a few Syphon Filters recently and the games still hold up. Days Gone (bugs gone version) is a great game that suffered at launch. I've enjoyed most of the Bend games on Playstation...never played Busby 3D.

I'm annoyed that Naughty Dog don't allow Uncharted Vita to be retooled for Playstation consoles.

On a separate note Terminator Resistance is a 7/10 game but it's an incredible game. Metacritic would advise to avoid it, I'd advise to play it unashamedly.

PC ports are going to continue to happen. I want to play my games on PC because they run better and I can mod them if I want. At the end of the day Sony still gets my money
Those games you want ported to PC wouldn't have existed if it wasn't for the consoles in the first place.

If you can afford to burn thousands on the latest NVidia card, you can afford a PS5 (Pro).

The guy is a fool. I can see why Sony ditched his mediocre project.


Calling Astrobot some small project LMAO, Maybe if the dude released Days Gone in the same polished state as Astrobot then it would have done much much better. Way to destroy any goodwill and sympathy he had remaining, The more this cartoon talks the more it seems like his firing was justified.

people on Twitter are just being stupid by saying PlayStation has no games when Xbox is having a worse year then PlayStation only thing they dropped was hellblade 2 this year as first party game we got astro bot, stellar blade and finale fantasy 7 rebirth and helldivers 2 and regrettably Concord from when Jim Ryan was doing live service push Herman hulst literally just started assuming leadership can't call for him to fire without seeing his plans for PlayStation

so putting Bend to work on Live Service is the solution?
It's a terrible decision, just like the decision to force an early release of DaysGone with poor marketing.

It's worth noting that many technical issues were related to UE4 not working well with openworld, and BendStudio solved these problems in updates.

But journalists and the PC community attacked the game for things that were forgiven by other studios and publishers.

That's why I partially understand Garvin.

Imagine releasing a $700 digital-only console when you've released a whopping 4 first party exclusive games for the console. It's really depressing seeing how much of a nosedive PlayStation has taken this gen. This only solidifies my choice to cancel PS+. If the pro was actually fairly priced and didn't require a disc drive add-on to be on par with my 4 year old hardware that cost me $500, I was thinking about picking one up. The good news is Sony made the decision easy for me!

Is the pro needed? What game has pushed the PS5 to the max? What game has even pushed the PS5?

GTA6 was meant to be the game that sells the Pro, but the GTA6 will also have to run on series S.

Seems optimistic to think consumers will pay £700 for a console and £80 for a game plus PSN subscription when most normies are struggling with money.

You could ask the same about High end Nvidia GPU's, yet people still buy them even if they bitch about the price.

Those people are morons. Anyone buying a high end GPU for gaming is a fucking moron.

The tech isn't there for 4k to be worth it, especially on consoles and especially with the upres techniques available.

ONE GAME
I DON'T KNOW WHY
I BOUGHT A PS5 WITH NO GAMES TO BUY
KEEP THAT IN MIND THEY DESIGNED THIS DRIVE
TO IMPROVE LOADING TIMES
THAT'S ALL I KNOW

CONSOLE EXCLUSIVES ARE KEY
WATCH EM FLY BY AS THEY PORT TO PC
LOSE EXCLUSIVES AT THE END OF THE GEN
I HAVE NO GAMES TO PLAY
IT'S SO UNFAIR

DIDN'T LOOK OUT BELOW
THROW MY PRO RIGHT OUT THE WINDOW
TRY TO HOLD ON BUT I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW
I WASTED IT ALL JUST TO WATCH MOVIES

I SPEND ALL MY TIME INSIDE
NOW THAT LAUNCH HYPE HAS DIED, ALL I SEE ARE PORTS
JUST LIKE THE PS3, IT'S REMINDING ME, OF A MEMORY, OF A TIME WHEN
I CRIED SO HARD, FOR GAMES AT LAUNCH
BUT IN THE END, IT'S JUST GOT NO GAMES
BOUGHT PS PLUS, AND PAID SO MUCH
BUT IN THE END, IT'S JUST GOT NO GAMES

ONE GAME, I DON'T KNOW WHY
THAT FEELS TO HARD TO GET, I JUST WANT TO BUY
NEW GAMES TO TRY WHILE CONFINED INSIDE
BUT IT SERVES TO REMIND THAT I
BOUGHT THIS BRICK

IN SPITE OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAD TOLD ME
NOT TO BUY A NEW CONSOLE ON RELEASE
REMEMBERING ALL THE GOOD TIMES WITH SONY
I'M SURPRISED IT GOT SO BAD

THINGS AREN'T THE WAY THEY WERE BEFORE
YOU WOULDN'T EVEN RECOGNIZE THE PS4
THE BEST GAMES WENT MULTIPLATFORM
BUT IT ALL COMES BACK TO THE GOD DAMN GAMES

I SPEND ALL MY TIME INSIDE
NOW THAT LAUNCH HYPE HAS DIED, ALL I SEE ARE PORTS

I'VE PUT MY TRUST IN YOU
PAID AS MUCH AS I COULD PAY
FOR ALL THIS
THERE'S ONLY ONE THING I CAN SAY

That price makes me think the PS6 is going to pricey as all hell and if that’s the case I might as well buy a pc and just get the Sony and Microsoft games all in one spot and buy a switch 2 as well.
The price is related to inflation and laying down future risks, but at the same time, Sony offers nothing new, where are the new releases?

We still have no quality projects that would use the potential of PS5 FAT\SLIM, and they are releasing new hardware, and probably hoping for GTA VI to justify it, although in my opinion, if the game is released on XSS, it will look and work great on PS5 FAT\SLIM.

Considering Covid, the semiconductor crisis at the launch of PS5, and the economic downturn, the introduction of PS5 PRO is not the best idea. And let's also take into account PC ports, which also hit both PS5 FAT\SLIM and PS5 PRO positions hard.
