"do you mean as long as you have PS+ subscription?"
Unless they know something I don't, I assume so. You'll have access to those same games as long as you subscribe. You'll have access to them if you let your subscription lapse, and you renew later. Those games aren't rotating out.
"Why you comparing gamepass with PS+? It is because the comparable service PS Now is pathetic?"
Maybe because the headli...
Here we go. The cocky Sony argument. It's funny how little it takes to trigger that while MS is given a pass and scored on a curve for decades like they're still new to the market or ever were an underdog.
Let's look at some things cocky Sony had going with the PS3:
- Cross-play support
- Cross-save support
- Cross-buy support
- Remote play
- Near 100% backward compatibility going back to PSX. (You might fin...
This argument is so much fail. Try to make some sense if you're going to lead off with "will Sony Ponies finally admit...."
You can have a subscription service without having to drop 1st party games day 1. You can get digital games outside of a subscription service. I hope neither Nintendo nor Sony follow the GP model.
"GP is the way forward, paying $70 day 1 for a game that will be $20-$30 in a few weeks to months does not make you c...
1) I'm not the type to discount all Switch console sales by calling it a handheld, but any Switch Lite sales do need to be discounted from home console sales comparisons. Not sure where that would ultimately leave the Switch.
2) It's a moot argument as both Nintendo and PS have won generations, and neither follows the GP model. Xbox, the only one to have lost every generation, the one that has finished behind PS every generation, is the only one pushing that model. ...
From the makers of "E3 was a tie" comes "there is nothing on both." Out now, in a comment section near you!
That's a no duh way to make a GP equivalent. The appeal to GP isn't a secret. I don't think that's the direction they want to go in. A counterpunch doesn't have to be an identical punch. As you alluded to, PS has a deeper library to leverage, without needing to add new releases Day 1, if they want PS Now (or some rebranded equivalent) to compete more closely with GP.
That critique always loses me. Ratchet & Clank and TLOU are not the same no matter how many overly broad categories get invoked to try to force the point.
Contrary to what they may have been led to believe, the industry will be supported. Right now it's MS footing the bill to attract subscribers. Neither publishers nor Xbox are running a charity. Let's hope it isn't until "actual ownership" is a thing of the past for people to realize that.
"I mean there are more who would likely buy the game because they arent Now subscribers but what if they did this and it sparked some interest in their Now service and showed Sony that people would sign up if there were more new releases on it?"
It's not a question of whether more people would sign up if there were new releases. That's a given. That's not their business model. They've made that clear, including in this article. The same goes for Ni...
"I was just being honest. I am a gamer not a fanboy. Sony fanboys are the worst. Microsoft can not do anything good in their eyes."
The cognitive dissonance is real. Maybe those "Sony fanboys" are "just being honest" too.
Back on topic, Sony isn't way behind Game Pass. PS isn't way behind Game Pass. PS is on top with a very successful and proven model. What you probably meant is PS Now is way behind GP. As it should ...
Ah. I see. You made this account 10 hours ago just to troll. Which one of you got your feelings hurt so bad you created this sock?
That you derive enough self satisfaction from calling someone an "n4g sony clown" over the internet says enough about you. (Achievement unlocked I guess?) That you're old enough to log into your account and hurl insults over the internet but still don't know what "objectively" means is just an added bonus.
@Cruz
Good try, my man. I said I said you prefer it, not that you own it. See, unlike some people on this site, I absolutely believe some of you are hypocritical enough to fanboy for one console while crapping on the one that you aren't about to stand by your rhetoric to miss out on. That doesn't impress me. That just makes you look like a hypocrite and, particularly in the case of the PS5, an uninformed consumer. You're crapping on the launch lineup of a produc...
No. It's the latest thing to make noise about to create a false sense of parity.
Thank you.
"And anyone willing to pay insane prices for the original PS3 can do the same. As long as they have the physical discs, being the store is, well, you know."
Well, you know, you can still redownload your digital purchases after the store is, well, you know.
If only all these articles existed when the launch PS3 had full backwards compatibility back to the PSX.
LOL. Y'all funny. You would be hyping to death that "glorified tech demo" if it was on your preferred console. Let alone being given away for free. Let's not even get into the "PS3 remake" salt. You look silly trying to downplay the PS5 lineup as nothing when your preference is offering less than nothing. Maybe they should have launched with a remake of a 360 Halo title, since that's what they're desperate to replicate anyway.
"This isn't worth arguing over as it is just opinion vs opinion."
I do agree it comes down to opinion, and particularly perspective. You may be more looking at it from a PC perspective whereas I'm looking mostly from a console perspective. I don't think the GP model is one that can coexist long term with current console monetization models without one suffering from the presence of the other.
While that is an opinion, it is supporte...
"Epic expects its store to turn a profit in 2023, though this sounds like an optimistic scenario."
Keywords, "Epic expects." This is based on an Epic court filing. It's going to steer more toward optimism than realism.
