It's 3rd person shooter I am not sure how it can be generic since there is onoy so much you can do. We play mafia games for story and character. Mafia 2 considered by many as the best mafia game had genetic shooting too. I got no issue with these sites saying these things but than they turn around and praise FPS games released yearly with same gameplay year after year
Hopefully the path they are on now will stay the same for a while. Release games on as many platforms as possible, generate more revenue and profits while at the same time keeping giving gamers in Xbox ecosystems the ability to play games through gamepass
They can't just keep going back and forth. They really need to come out and say every game will release on PS5 and Steam day one along with Xbox. You can pay $70 to play those games on other platforms or sign up for GP...
People just don't realize how different things could have been is there no series s. Developers wouldn't be skipping or delaying release simply because of parity clause. That 1 decision by MS set back this whole generation
Waiting just gives better overall experience
This isn't mafia 4. This is a side story. AA games usually are $50 and provide 10-20 hours of content. Developers said the length will be similar to mafia 1 remake which was in no way a short game. Please support this game if you want mafia 4
Hopefully the quality will be there, we all need to realize if we don't support these kind of games then the Publishers will only want to fund the big AAA Blockbusters which will cost $70-80
I rarely buy games at full price anymore — not because I don’t love gaming, but because so many titles launch incomplete and rely on post-release patches to feel finished.
I’m really interested in the Mafia and Metal Gear Solid remakes, but I’m willing to wait until they drop below $30. And honestly, waiting has multiple advantages:
You get a better price
You benefit from patches and updates driven by actual player feedback

First game is good, 2nd is great and 3rd is okay. Hopefully 4th is awesome. What's kind of cool is how each game has a drastically different gameplay style
Man 2nd is the best in the series IMO. Play it
This Gen has been such a huge letdown. So many games cancelled by Playstation and Xbox and now both are talking about next generation. 1st party studio at PlayStation just haven't delivered like they usually do besides insomniac games
I’m not too surprised by any of these rumors. With how expensive game development has become, it just makes sense that Sony would explore bringing more of their titles to other platforms—including Xbox. They've already mentioned their push toward live-service games, which we know are going to be multi-platform anyway.
And when you think about games like Spider-Man, Miles Morales, and Spider-Man 2—as incredible as they are—most of the core PlayStation audience has alread...
I understand the criticism toward Microsoft, but the reality is they’re a $3 trillion company with major influence in gaming. They've invested heavily—hundreds of billions—acquiring studios and publishers, which inevitably shapes the industry's direction.
As someone who values single-player experiences, I have to admit: Xbox has delivered more than people give credit for this generation. That said, the overall generation has felt underwhelming. I partly blame the pa...
This is winning for gamers now we no longer have to buy 1 box for just their games. MS sees playstation as an avenue they could use to grow their revenue
I think halo will come to PS5 really soon. Gamescom is when we will see more announcements. Starfield 2025, COD7 and I could see 1 more big title
No actually they are happy because they get 30% for zero work
Sony can't block any game from appearing on their store
No Sony doesn't but both companies own shares together in other companies for example :
FromSoftware: Sony and Tencent, through its subsidiary Sixjoy, together own a significant stake (over 30%) in FromSoftware, the Japanese video game studio known for games like Elden Ring and Dark Souls. Sixjoy owns 16.25% and Sony Interactive Entertainment owns 14.09% of FromSoftware.
Epic Games: Tencent is a major investor in Epic Games (the developer of Fortnite)...
on topic:
I don't think any of us are or will be surprised, fact is every single xbox game will come to playstation. Forza horizon 5 just sold over 2 million copies and that's a old game from MS. That's hundreds of millions extra income. Halo and Starfield will be announced bext IMO. Gears remake is coming to PS5 so why wouldn't future games come out on PS?

chat GPT simply ask for last 6-7 years of data regarding soulslike and roguelike games

Gaming is filled like soulslike and roguelike. Both of these genre are overflowing with way too many average games
Almost every big indie is Rougelike. TBH we are missing some action adventure story driven games, single player story driven shooters, platformers
Roguelike Games:
2020: 311 releases

2022: 704 releases
2023: 1,082 releases

You play them for the story and characters and it's not some folka who found it fun it was millions of mafia series fans. Maybe it's just not for you. For example I am not into turned based gaming so I never understood the hype around Expedition 33 since it's gameplay to me is really boring but the story and characters make up for the gameplay shortcomings for me personally
