If you think PlayStation is the ONLY thing that makes Sony money, you need to do your research. Sony is a huge conglomerate with many revenue streams. PlayStation might be generating MORE revenue than any of their other divisions but it's not the only division that makes money.
Sigh, this article again?
Too little too late for me. If they were going to do this, they shouldve come out around 2016, 2017. In 2021 these shouldve been full blown remakes.
Crying about a sequel to a JRPG that came out 20 years ago, my God MOVE ON!
I agree. People don't know what the f_ck they're talking about on here, especially when it comes to running a company. Those calling for Jim Ryan to be fired need to STFU and let the grown ups talk. Sony just posted a RECORD 25 billion in revenue from their gaming division. More than double what their competitors posted. This happened under Jim Ryan's watch. Sonys not going to fire him lol! People are out of their minds thinking that. Gamers need to just focus on playing t...
That isn't analytical data. That's an anecdotal and subjective generality.
"The gamers, their customers, and loyal fans have said its a bad move.'
Really? ALL of them have said that? Did you take a poll? Did you interview all of them? Internet griping is not a metric and businesses should not make decisions based on what the vocal minority on social media has to say.
Sega will not be participating. Along with Sony, EA, Activision/Blizzard, and Bandai Namco.
Where is Titanfall 3?
Yep. Solid 7 for sure. This reminds me of the first year of last generation when Dragon Age won GOTY. I was like, in no other year does that game even sniff GOTY. But because there was hardly anything worth playing, it won basically by default.
Yep
Lmao! This is no 9.5 game.
Wow, a tad hyperbolic are we?

I'm all for indies when they are made in a modern, AAA-like manner like No Man's Sky, Kena Bridge of Spirits, Rocket League, Stray, Quantum Error, Little Devil Inside, etc. I will always support those kinds of indie games where the devs put some real ambition into them. However if I see another top/down game, another 8 bit pixel art game, or another artsy-fartsy tree-hugger game I'm going to throw up.
The only correct answer here is...who gives a crap?
Agreed. I haven't really played my Switch since Luigi's Mansion 3. I'm just not interested in shoddy multiplat ports, old Wii/Wii U ports, indies, or anime heavy games. I'm waiting for Breath of the Wild 2 and Metroid Prime 4. Those are the only 2 games in development (that we know of) for Switch that interest me. All this other stuff, I just consider filler until those games come out. In the meantime, hey Nintendo, where's a new Punch Out? Where's a new Star Fo...
Honestly, when I think of the term "indie game" THIS is the sort of thing I want! Not a bunch of cheap looking top down pixel art crap. I want indie games that have a AAA look and feel and this one has it in spades! Games like Kena, Stray, Little Devil Inside, Bugsnax, The Pathless, etc are what I want from the indie dev community! Not all those damn cookie cutter 16 bit looking games!
I think its important that we distinguish game preservation from what's being made available to the public for purchase here.
First of all, those of you crying about "game preservation", why did you come to the conclusion that Sony shutting down the stores would suddenly mean those digital roms would cease to exist? Do you honestly think Sony is going to activate some giant EMP and wipe all of those files from existence? You think they're going to be r...
it's the only argument they have.
That's not QUITE how it happened. He was walking by a kiosk that was running the OG Gran Turismo on PS1 and said "I don't know why anyone would want to play that." That's not an indictment on EVERY old game. He was talking about how visually that game is an eyesore by today's standards and he's right. Those old polygonal PS1 games look horrible by today's standards, especially on HD TV's. They do not hold up the way the old sprite based games from th...
@Rachel _Alucard
No, it's because there are way too many idiots with a keyboard trying to play armchair CEO who actually have no clue what they are talking about. This is quickly turning into a ridiculous social media "witch hunt" by a bunch of clueless mouth-breathers who would have no idea how to run a company like Sony. IS Jim Ryan the right guy for the job? I think the only accurate answer right now is the jury is still out. We really won't know th...
