God of War, Uncharted series, and Spider-man sales success would argue otherwise. On the other hand, 1st person shoot everything until it’s dead games have felt a bit stale for awhile, now that you mention it...
Phil doesn’t understand gaming. If he did we wouldn’t all still be waiting on inspired 1st party content. Can’t wait for reasons to power up my SeriesX....
How does porting over 3 year old games hurt the brand or the console? I just don’t see it. I have PS4, PS5, and a gaming PC, but I’m not waiting 3 years just to play PS titles on PC first. Lol. That’s absurd, and a lot a waiting and not gaming. Meanwhile, Sony still has exclusivity when it matters, several years past launch, when sales die off they port a few games over to inspire more character and brand recognition over in the PC arena, make more money for sequel budgets, but this is a bad ...
Cool. Enjoy playing your backlog for 3 years, and continually waiting for Sony games to drop while the rest of us will be playing the games you want to play. That makes perfect sense.
I don’t want photorealistic graphics either. Borderlands3 hand drawn/cel-shading would’ve looked loads better than what they’re giving here. The original crazy taxi almost looks as good as this current take...just my opinion
As much as I loved crazy taxi, this game graphically looks like as$, for a current title.
UFC games have been mostly good, fun experiences. Otherwise, nail on the head, EA sucks.
“Nobody else is doing a better job of fictional history”. Ghost of Tsushima and God of War both say hello.
Sure, defend easy mode if it’s available. Play games how you desire, enjoy. But demanding games have an easy mode is a pretty self centered argument. Games are an art form, asking art to hold your hand is just not how art works. It’s like crying foul that every marvel movie isn’t a hard R-rating just because I’d love to see more gritty dark super hero films. Not everything is built specifically for me, and that’s OK. Variety is the spice of life.
Fun graphics, zany overwatch-esqe characters, and character specific strengths. Easy to play, hard to master. Several fun modes present and incoming. Hits a lot of checkboxes. I think it’s got legs, hope to see this around for awhile.
All to themselves? It’s coming to PS5 later isn’t it? Well then, you’re up an arms about a game that’s not even a true exclusive. Keep trying
I gotta give it to Bloodborne, which was a pretty big risk too. Very niche/Non-traditional and fantastic story telling/world building, and atmospheric presence. The combat system and gameplay loop was frustratingly perfect. Still the pinnacle of “Soulsborne” titles for myself.
Amen. Been awhile since Xbox has had anything to be truly jealous of for non-Xbox owners. A non-evolving Gears and Halo aren’t holding up the brand like they used to, and we still don’t have concrete dates for ANY AAA titles in the pipeline. Gotta bring SOMETHING to the table 1st before you go price hiking on folks. Amateur/greedy move IMO.
Thank you for saying it. Same games, different skins = Ubisoft
I beat both Division games, both were bloated, both had bland near non-existent narratives, both had much of the good MP content behind DLC. I fail to see your point...
Of course we dread another bloated open-world game lacking content to be sold later as DLC... it’s what Ubi does best. Lucky for them EA didn’t really set the bar too high either. Fallen Order was decent.
Street Fighter 3rd Strike, Marvel vs. Capcom, Power Stone, Virtua Fighter, Ready 2 Rumble Boxing, Mortal Kombat Gold...on top of those you mention, and that’s without looking anything up. Dreamcast had some great fighting games for its time.
Warhawk, Twisted Metal, Syphon Filter, Resistance, and Heavenly Sword, just to name a few that could use a modern reboot, remake, or sequels...many more from the Sony well could use a dust off IMO.
Humble apologies for my comment below. Wrote too quickly thinking this article was in regards to Sea of Thieves by Rare.
Well we don’t want to be inundated with so many AAA games at a time that they all fall into everyone’s backlog, but to say Sony has lapped the “next-gen” competition already just by having a handful AAA games, which in turn is better than resorting to your last gens games to tout all your best selling points. Sadly, I’m speaking as a SeriesX owner too
