@Obscure_Observer "Why would they release the final chapter on PS4 when Rebirth is not available for PS4???"
There's been a misunderstanding. It will be cross-gen but PS5 and PS6 cross gen.
'Producer Yoshinori Kitase was asked by the outlet about concerns current-gen players might need to upgrade:
"For those who have played FF7 Remake on PS4 and FF7 Rebirth on PS5, I think there may be some concern that the third work will...
I suspect the reason the PlayStation sales were underwhelming was because it was not released on PS4. That’s why Square Enid have said the final chapter will be cross-gen.
@FortWaba, that was said ironically, the source being another poster’s comments was the giveaway.
@ocelot to be honest, I haven’t played these games. I’m glad you enjoyed them. I might have started an Age of Empires on Xbox but would like to give it a full go.
Don’t get too excited, these are two B-tier strategy games. However Halo, Gears of War and Starfield will never see the light of day on a PlayStation console - I know this because ocelot07 said so in previous posts.
(I wonder what’s going to get announced next week?)
No worries, all good.
@Christopher Hey Chris, don’t take my joke personally, just having a little fun!
I watched a bit of content about this on YouTube and what PC-fam people are saying is they believe this Steam OS operating system is now so good it could be a real challenger to Windows. I have no experience with these things, but I do know that Discord started off as a gaming only service and it has grown beyond that.
If Microsoft makes new hardware then this is this is the competition it should be most concerned about. Because Digital Foundry have said that the new Xbox w...
I’m sold.
(As long as the power-price ratio is right)
Christopher: ‘don’t blame the player, blame the game’!
Hopefully PC Guide can do a comparison between the $2000 Nvidia RTX 5090 and the standard model PS5. I’m no expert but I’ve a sneaking suspicion that Sony’s console is really going to get smoked! Ha ha.
Well observed. The reviewer says throughout that it is well produced but finds it boring, she never says it’s bad. 2/5 or 4/10 is a score for a bad game. Her subjective review is of course her choice, but the words and the score need to match.
Nevertheless, I have found it helpful and don’t want to pay for a game that’s mechanics antagonise, so will wait to see what the reaction is after this is released into the wild.
@ApocalypseShadow To crystallise what I was saying is it is increasingly likely the home gaming industry will shift in some way. I'm sure the PS6 generation will be similar to how this works, but who knows after that. Sony will have to try and make sure its ecosystem remains relevant. But the risk Sony faces is it has finite funds so it cannot afford for PlayStation to have a significant failures. Microsoft has has over a decade of failure with Xbox, but because it has unlimited funds it ...
Make no mistake, this is an absolute failure of the Xbox console platform because of Phil Spencer. And this is a major success of the PlayStation platform. However don’t prematurely arrange a celebration party because in the long run Microsoft will be triumphant as it is a Big Tech company with a three trillion dollar market cap and will have funds to support it, it will survive anything like a cockroach after a nuclear bomb. And the Japanese electronics manufacturer will not be able to weath...
Microsoft is like a ravished vampire that's tasted some of that PS5 blood (profits) with Sea of Thieves and now has gone ravenous for those PlayStation dollars!
Obscure_Observer You get an upvote from me. I’m beginning to respect your exquisite level of trolling. 🫡
Five paragraphs of words to dress up saying ‘we’ve cut staff’.
Somebody has to pay for Concord.
There is.
Starfield was strongly hyped as a triple-A exclusive that could drive Xbox Series console sales. Since Microsoft announced that four of its games would tentatively release on other platforms, there's been speculation about whether Xbox would fully embrace third-party status. Starfield's potential release on other platforms has become a barometer, a key indicator, on whether Xbox will go completely third-party.
Whilst there have been other games announced as coming ...
@JEECE In the UK most Multiplatform games would sell more copies on PS4 than on Xbox Series X/S combined.
