GTA 5 was released in 2013, GTA 6 to launch 13 years later in 2026. I'm now 50 years old, so the chances are, GTA 7 will launch when I'm in my early 60s, but by then, I'll probably be gardening and doing jigsaws. Life is too short and games like this are becoming the norm.
Sony has most definitely laughed all the way to the bank with pricing in the US and Europe. $350 works out at around £265. The PS5 in the UK sells for around double that. Fony.
Under $1000 means it'll be around $1000. Faffing on with PC settings and being OCD with graphics, it's not for me.
Compared to RDR2, the first game is a bit dire.
SEGA should stop faffing on with those boring Mega Drive and Master System collections that've been out there for years. Saturn and Dreamcast collections are overdue, but more some arcade collections. Put games on all formats and let gamers choose disc, card or download. The latest Shinobi was a Limited Run game on card, it doesn't exactly sell the game to the masses. SEGA showed off a number of new games not so long ago, they've all gone missing. SEGA has a rich history of m...
Look back at the history for Atari, most of their game were a mess. It's no wonder Nintendo looked at Atari and knew they could do better, out pops the NES. Although, Paperboy and Gauntlet were top games.
Another Atari game that will be re-released with extras. Atari 50 as an example. No thanks, I'll wait.
I'm 50 and still gaming, when the world is taken over by AI robots and they have the same legal rights or even more legal rights than people, hopefully I won't be here. People may think that I've been watching too much Star Wars and Blade Runner, but that's how it's going to pan out. World War 2 was soldiers, bombs, guns and tanks, we're now dealing with chemical warfare and computer hacking, World War 3 will the nuclear bombs and AI robot soldiers. Movies, books an...
£999 consoles, £99 controllers and £99 games. Microsoft, please ditch consoles.
Look at teardown vids on YouTube, Asus are not the best for quality. The Xbox brand is now messy, Microsoft should've waited until this gen was over and start again. People are moaning about the price of the Switch 2, it does the job I guess, but the cost of this handheld and even looking at the cost of the PS5 Pro, next gen pricing is going to be a bigger nightmare. Nintendo seem to get away with using decent tech, the PS5 and Series X are more than sufficient, so roll out their own S...
I wonder if there was any info on a new Wave Race on Switch 2, although it was rumoured on the Switch?
Sony approached SEGA and the Mega CD was born. After the Mega CD, SEGA declined a deal with Sony for a 32bit CD console, the Mega Drive 32X was born. Sony went along with the PlayStation or the Nintendo PlayStation.
Microsoft have completely lost the plot. Pay your money for a Series X, hardly any games. This is released, then talk of the next Xbox. Just put games on PC, PS and Switch. I'm all for these hybrid consoles now, although I don't play games in handheld mode. A single format will never come though. Nintendo games on PC, Mac, PS and Xbox, how many games would they sell?
Always remember Dead or Alive on the Dreamcast.
Have been watching vids of the game and my wife who doesn't play games, asked me why the baddies as she called them, don't seem to be fighting back much, like they're stood still. The AI is dire and this is yet another showcase game from Sony. Run about and explore with flash graphics. There's just no variety with Sony's games.
Was it worth a launch day purchase? Not a chance. Wait until it's been out a while and pick it up cheap used.
Why does it look like it's from the Mega Drive and Super Nintendo era?
I remember playing Onimusha which was a canned PS game that was ported over to the PS2. The second game was the best in the series, it basically died after the third game. The Ghost series, it was always going to be the same old. Same situation with every game out there. Sony's games always seem to be these running about games, but we can't expect them to change the record. Everyone gets sucked into the graphics and forget it's the same old. Not a launch purchase for me as P...
Console pricing is heading towards the £1000+ mark anyway. I'm not sure if Sony and Microsoft will follow Nintendo with a hybrid console, but people who only play on a big screen, it ends up being overpriced tech. My Switch and Switch 2 stay docked. Scalping should be banned under UK consumer law and in other countries. Looking into the future, PS6 or PS7 at £999+, download only games £99+. Gaming started to become a luxury years ago.
No, the big question is, the volume of games. My Series X sits gathering dust.
