Good thing Death Stranding and Spiderman already looked a generation ahead of the competition then.
They've acquired one small studio with zero established IP, it's not at all comparable to MS acquiring entire publishers with dozens of studios and established/giant IP together. If MS point at this and say "look, they're doing it too" they'd look like fools.
The first one was one of the best puzzlers on PSVR1 next to Statik. Looking forward to this.
Can you not see beauty in the real world?
Does PT ray tracing make the character models look as good as Horizons?

Does Spiderman 2 on PS2 have PS5 game mechanics because you can climb everything too?
Maybe PSVR2 is where they take their biggest risks this gen.
That's a couple big names leaving Mm now, presumably over the shuttering of Dreams.
Sony had a lot of patience for Dreams last gen, practically took the whole PS4 gen to release, was allegedly rebooted 3 times in development and when it did release it never really took off. It had a marketing problem I think, instead of showing off the cute fluffy teddy bear with a whacky hammer, they should have been showing off the photorealistic stuff their community was dropping ja...

Quick to forget G4's Froskin (or whatever her name is) and how freely she stated "PS5 has no games, it's dead on arrival, Xbox will destroy it" (or something along those lines. Her co-hosts simply laughed.
The Taylor CQB is/was the joint best weapon in Firewall ZH and unlocked at level 7.
The Reg K8 Classic was the other best gun and was easy to unlock after it was added in a free DLC by doing some simple challenges.
"Jim Ryan went on record saying this would kill the PlayStation brand."
Did he said that actually or did he say "our business would never recover". Because it's easy to see how losing COD revenue would be hard to recover, making it an accurate statement.
"though the game will still be on their system..."
It will until it won't. MS are not offering any perpetuity deals, first 3 years, then 10 once t...
"but they overly dramatized the affect it would have on them"
COD is the biggest money maker for whatever platform it's doing best on since COD4. In the beginning that was 360. Now it's PS4/5. This money is what funds development of games like God of War.
COD is literally the best selling franchise in NA for the last 15 years in a row. Losing COD while it's still as popular as it is, is most definitely a massive blow to Sony.
Thanks for bringing up your comment from 176 days ago, it makes it easy to prove you wrong.
"Minecraft should have been their guide because they aren't going to lose anything."
We know Starfield's PS5 development was canned after MS acquired them, we know TES6 isn't coming to PS consoles, we can see that Psychonauts 2 never came to PS5 and we recently got confirmation that Redfall's PS5 version was also cancelled. Not to mention ...
"Does MS pay 3rd party publishers to not put their games on ps plus like Sony allegedly pays third party devs/publishers to not release their games on gamepass?"
Let's pretend for a moment this is a true fact 100%. Are Sony forcing these 3rd parties to do it at gunpoint or simply making an offer? If they are making an offer, what is stopping MS from doing the same? If they can do the same then it sounds like the competition remains.
"Sony already got a whole studio shut down with Forspoken this year"
As riddled with comedy as you entire post was, this one in particular stood out. Can you explain how Sony did this?
At first it sold 4m in 3 days due only to the fact that it was a sequel to a great game and ND falsely advertised the game. After that it stayed on shelves and never sold another copy, it stayed at 4m because nobody would buy that woke trash. Then it sold 10m in just 1.5 years on just one platform and the goal posts needed to be moved. 'Only' 10m? 'That's bad'
Now it's back in the top 10, they'll have to scramble again, probably try to use the su...
So much fun in VR. I just fought that huge furry guy with the hammer in the cave. Blasted him in the face with 4 magnum rounds, felt badass.
This. Game was scored based on the 'potential' of what it would become instead of what it actually was and every reviewer who over-inflated its score looks a fool now.
Loved the first, the sequel had troubled development and ended up disappointing though.
Justice is served.
