Just before it was revealed to be cancelled, there were leaks saying it was due to be released. As trophies normally show up on the PSN backen when a game is complete and about to release - this leads me to wonder if the game WAS complete but Ubisoft pulled the plug because it felt the quality was too mediocre.
You know the world is f’d up when Michael Pachter has given up cheerleading Xbox.
I’d love to know how many units have been sold of all the Final Fantasy VII franchise games, including the original, the remakes, spin offs such as Crisis Core, and mobile games Ever Crisis. I bet a fair few copies.
Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond leaving at the same time is not a coincidence -it's a clear out. The old guard at Xbox is well and truly over. Spencer has always been likeable but honestly, he probably should've been pushed earlier.
But who has replaced them? Matt Booty, he is the dictionary definition of a suit, cosplaying that he knows about games. Asha Sharma is the new head of Microsoft gaming, she is a great looking woman, but at 36 years old she seems relatively ...
The only reason Sony would've shut down Bluepoint is because it's not profitable. But the reason it's not profitable is because the studio has spent years working on a GaaS game that wasn't released - that's not its fault!
With a ready made accomplished team Sony could've had them work on anything, how short-sighted to dismantle them. This move is a bad move from the highest level of management and accountants and it's a worrying signal that beh...
The MGS Collection V2 trailer on the Konami YouTube channel is on Japanese but its title is written in English, giving credence to the language tack being selectable.
For me, now MGS 1 has received a visual upgrade I’m ready to buy the first collection.
The platform split of the multiplayer games reveal Xbox game purchases in the UK have utterly collapsed.
The fact that Horizon Hunters Gathering was announced a week before when it could've been saved for the State of Play makes me hopeful that Sony is aware that negative sentiment to multiplayer slop could contaminate the presentation - so it's best kept separate.🤞🏼
Longer running is not a guarantee of quality! The June 2025 State of Play was 55 minutes - but the reaction was mixed. Some good games were shown but no megatonnes.
Hopefully, some gameplay will be shown of Intergalactic and possibly the Starfield 2.0 reveal and the PS5 Pro PSSR upgrade. But you never know, maybe Sony will show us a thirty minute deep dive of multiplayer game Fairgame$! 🤣
@S2Killinit There's nothing wrong with you being a vociferous supporter of rights supporting marginalised communities - I've read some of your previous comments in support of Dragon Age the Veilguard and how you championed the press-up scene. That's your prerogative - but that type of game is not for everyone.
The development team of Horizon Hunters Gathering is Western and it shows - almost all the characters in the trailer are fat or blue or purple-haired. By ...
This game looks like it was designed by committee, unlike Horizon Steel Frontiers which looks like it was designed for fans.
The first person on the official PlayStation blog makes the great point that Sony is releasing this, like PSVR2, without fanfare, a high profile game without a State of Play. Why? Is it because Sony doesn’t believe the game is very good, or because it simply doesn’t know how to promote its own games?
What if Netflix becomes ‘the Netflix of gaming?!’
Leave aside the issue of brand new games, if you can afford an Xbox or PlayStation you can get the accompanying subscription service. SO MANY GAMES! Before PS Plus with games included launched if you wanted a 'new' game you had to buy it, either new or by going the second hand shop (in the UK this was GAME or CEX). It was a one-at-a-time experience and it cost money. Now people are spoilt for choice. There's not enough lifetimes for you to play even the best games included with th...
@Wommens @Potdy Keep creating those alt accounts!
The truth is Forza, Gears and Halo and Starfield and the WHOLE SLATE will be going to PlayStation.
Microsoft has sold more copies of Forza on PS5 then it did on Xbox Series S/X.
The RAM price rise could lead to the 'Xbox PC' being delayed - if that happens Microsoft might not release it at all.
Stop running defence for a trillion-dollar company that doesn't know you exist.
@Christopher et al. Regarding PlayStation 'NEVER' getting Starfield, I was merely meme-ing the many who vehemently said and believed the same the same thing! Now the holy trinity has been confirmed I thought it obvious to everyone that means the whole slate is going to PlayStation.
Also, 'tis true I have not played Avowed for myself, but the reviews I read and watched when it launched were mostly critical, hopefully the big update fixes all that. As will the big...
PlayStation might have got the Mickey Mouse RPG, Avowed, but it will NEVER get Starfield - and you can quote me on that!
Hi,
I have an older account, because of the tech issues it means I can rarely view my own profile and I regularly cannot view the website on Safari on iPad. Judging by the replies to standard interest articles it seems like there has been a knock on effect on engagement.
I used to go to a once popular video game forum, but after a period of tech problems members went away and many never came back (I must add that there were 'progressives' who thought it was...
@S2Killinit That's exactly what I was thinking. Engagement has dropped off a cliff here except for the megaton news stories. So seeing the first comment receive 80 down votes seems suspicious, it's simply not important enough to get people to comment. So I too suspect the downvotes come from the Alt person. Can you imagine being THAT sad, THAT lonely, that you create all these accounts just to bot vote a comment you disagree with? I hope they find better ways to fill their life.
Remember all the websites that tried to cancel the game? It triggered the games media so much many refused to review it (Eurogamer + many more), or they they low-scored the game not because of its quality but because of the trans issues (The Guardian.) They to alienate the public to such a degree that it backfired and it lost them the trust of their readers. How many have had layoffs or gone to the wall since then? Kotaku, Polygon, Eurogamer, GamesIndustry.biz, Rock Paper Shotgun, VG247, etc...
I wish this was an RPG.
