Lol unreal. Every so often last gen some no name site would do this with PS4 to try to get clicks. They'd take a PS4, make sure it was not set as their primary console, intentionally take it offline, and then write articles about how they were "locked out" of their games.
Lol I've never seen you get only upvotes.
Well, no one forces anyone else to develop a video game or to put it on any specific platform. It's optional.
Spiderman: Miles Morales. Demon's Souls PS5. Hitman 3.
Returnal got a short delay but then hit the delayed date.
To be clear, I'm not ripping on them for delaying the game the first time. But they knew about the pandemic in fall 2020 when they did the first major delay, so that was already factored in.
But Driveclub isn't an example of a game that launched on time and was bad because of it. It's an example of a game where repeated delays were insufficient to get it into a decent launch state even about a year after it was expected. Deathloop seems like it's fitting into a similar pattern, although fortunately the online aspect of Deathloop will be a much smaller component that it was for Driveclub, so even if that's a mess, the game could still be solid.
A...
This was my most anticipated launch title, but now the repeat delays are making it feel like Driveclub.
I really like that they keep delaying this game and then doing press for it as if they didn't.

It's deceptive because the title (which has been corrected) made an assertion that the article does not support. That does not mean that the article doesn't convey interesting information.
As far as whether the number of unique users is more important than sales, is it? Because when a game has a lower barrier (Great Steam sale, PS Plus, Games with Gold, or Gamepass) a lot more people will check it out, but by definition they aren&...
Yep, very deceptive given the games inclusion on Gamepass.
I like this idea, but in a way it actually makes sense to do the opposite. I mean, my PSN account is from 2006 (literally as old as it can be), and I've had PS Plus since the PS3 era, so I'd love it if PlayStation rewarded loyalty. However, from there perspective it doesn't make sense to reserve consoles for people like me, because they can bank on me buying it, regardless of if I have to wait (I got a preorder the night they announced the price, but I would have waited).
Lol I see what you did there.
Definitely, I certainly overestimated people on this site.
Yes.
Yeah. Also you can't assume any prior shared knowledge, even if it's from the past few years.
Yeah, that's kind of on me for not putting the /s on there.
I thought it would be clear from the context that I was joking. Yeah, I've seen those videos. The aren't used in the military now, and probably won't be for some time, but I think it's fine for an arcadey shooter. Which is the point.
You haven't heard of jokes?
Robotic dogs aren't realistic, time to freak out.
PS Directs, which limit you to one console per PSN ID, are a good start. Obviously scalpers can make more PSN IDs, but it's an extra step to get around compared to Walmart (or other similar stores).
Hope to see some evidence that the PS5 version is more than a PS4 game with better resolution/framerate (although those must be better as well; this game can't be 30 fps on PS5). Something like the comparison in Miles Morales showing the difference between leaving the interior of a building on PS4 (lengthy loading screen) and leaving the same building on PS5 (swinging straight through an opening back into the open world).
