I do miss old school micromachines, but this ain’t it either.

I assume that’s their backup plan - but they’ll let them make an initial decision first.

The CMA has an awful track record when it comes to successfully defending their decisions and are regularly overturned.

And if/when it doesn’t?

While Rising was good, I wouldn’t declare it the “future of Metal Gear” since it’s more like a spin-off - the future must be a game with the same core stealth mechanics etc - not a hack n slash or rogue-like.

“ it's in the value of all these exciting Xbox exclusive "Day 1 on Game Pass" games that are not living up to their hype over and over again. ”

Sorry, what? As I said, the highest rated exclusives were on GamePass day 1 - that more than lives up to the ‘hype’.

“As a Game Pass subscriber you should be agreeing with me, sending a message that you expect better from this service ”

And while I appreciate your concern, I am mor...

Hmm? Where did I or anyone else say they encourage it?

Shrug, this is still going to pass. The UK govt and others will posture a bit until MS gives them what they want (which is actually probably not gaming related at all). And then it’ll pass.

Obviously it is not necessary, it's a blatant cash grab, nothing more, nothing less. Way more of a cash grab than TLOU's re-re-release which was also unnecessary.

But of course we'll be getting it given to us anyway, along with many other remasters, because that's PS under Jimbo.

That could be true, except they seem to have pulled it off more than two times.

Infact, looking at the top scores for 2021, in the top 10:

Microsoft: 4 entries (all 90+)
PlayStation: 0 entries
Nintendo: 0 entries

You have to go to 17th to find a Nintendo game (SM3D World), and you'll have to go to 28th to find a PlayStation title (Ratchet).

Fast forward to 2022, we're now halfway through Octo...

This argument makes no sense:

- Both PS5 and XSX have no 60fps mode
- XSX is more powerful than PS5.

So by your logic the PS5 version is holding back the XSX version.

(Which is untrue btw, this is nothing to do with either console holding back the other).

Why... 30fps modes only on next gen is totally unacceptable.

This is landing right where I expected it to. No one was expecting a AAA banger, but it seems like a good game if it's your cup of tea.

Not for me though.

"We joke about Xbox exclusives being mediocre Game Pass filler but it keeps being true."

The highest scoring exclusive game of the last full calendar year is an Xbox exclusive from GamePass.

So if 'mediocre GamePass filler' is better than everything that Nintendo and Sony can muster, what does that say about the quality of their output? 🤷

Exactly. Sony have been buying studios, moneyhatting 3rd party games and COD exclusivity deals for decades.

Now MS got bored with it and decided to purchase Activision, Sony no longer wants to play and is throwing their toys out the stroller.

What goes around comes around - and Karma is always a bitch.

Sony has more than enough good games in their stable, and they know it - this is just a little hissy fit because they aren’t getting the...

Abhorrent behavior. MS needs to clean house on day 1 post acquisition.

If any exec is “desperate”, it is Jim Ryan.

He’s the one crying to any regulatory board in the world who will listen.

It’ll end up there sooner or later - the EU is going to block closed marketplaces sooner rather than later.

I would love GP on my PS, or better yet, for Sony to offer a similar service.

Yeah this is the first jailbreak article that has been approved.

Sony consoles are always hacked pretty quickly though, using a FreeBSD based OS doesn’t help. It’s usually that or third party components with CVE’s like WebKit etc.

It’s cool to see the data mining going on though.

I honestly don’t believe they will remove COD from PS though. That would be a crazy financial decision given the platform split.

The reason I see this as competitive / good for us is COD going into GamePass. If that decision was going to bankrupt Sony or make everyone be forced to buy an Xbox or a MS product, I would say this is anti-competitive and should be blocked.

Ultimately though, I think all the doom and gloom here for/from Sony isn’t accurate or r...
