I wish the guy that recreated the game with updated graphics made a deal with the publisher and released it,! It would be win, win for everyone.

👌🏼

It won’t be.

Rockstar maximises console profits before releasing on PC.

The games you don’t start playing immediately will end up cheaper in the New Year’s sale!

@-Foxtrot. My comment is not targeting you specifically or any individual but the wider complaint.

Also, the upgrade for owners of the PS4 version is just $10.

Also, Sony had preempted people buying the PS4 version of the game for cheap and upgrading, by returning it to full price of £35 in the UK!

If you don’t want it don’t buy it.

I’m sick of entitled gamers who think that the whole world revolves around them. People complained about the TLOU1 Remastered and it went on to sell very well. Likewise, this Christmas a whole lot more people will be new PS5 owners, a decent percentage will have never owned a PS4. So this will be an opportunity for them to play a AAA game and likely many will enjoy it more than newer releases such as Gollum or COD MW3.

@Vits, it’s not an allusion it’s a direct and explicit comparison. It’s relevant because each product does not exist in a vacuum.

For real? I was thinking it might be a US variant of football.

I speak on behalf of the entire N4G community when I say this looks great but would be so much better if instead of having physical media it had a digital download code.

I had a look the copy on the official Dbrand site, it actually says: ‘Darkplates for the uglier PS5’! 😆

What on Earth is kickball?

Switch Online had more users than the combined Xbox Series S and X user base. This comparison is relevant because it highlights the incredible challenge Microsoft has with making Game Pass profitable when so much content is included in the very affordable subscription fee. It could work if becomes the dominant service like Netflix, but it isn’t there yet.

Brilliantly pure headline that captures the absurdity!

But to be fair to Microsoft, it’s a completely unnecessary cosmetic so if someone wants to buy it that’s their choice - if people are not willing to pay that then Microsoft will drop the price. Look up horse armour in the history books for context.

This deal was likely signed some time before the ABK deal was completed, possibly over a year ago.

Whilst Microsoft the game publisher profits from games sold on PlayStation, it currently has is own console, so allowing a pack-in to a rival brand does not make sense as it could boost sales of the PS5.

NO. I'd prefer someone who does not have a frat-bro persona, that is super-rehearsed with PR speak, that talks about his achievements to prove how much of a hardcore gamer, sorry PLAYER, he/she is.

Yes I'd like to see PlayStation improve its communication but Jim Ryan, for all his shyness, was always authentic. I used to like Phil, but compare how he would answer if Starfield was coming to PS5 with if Elder Scrolls VI is, he gives a non-answer so that he avoids any...

Opinions may vary.

Exactly. Leaving aside that the meaning which of course is universal, when you hear Play it’s the first syllable of PlayStation.

Super Mario Bros Wonder means, it’s a good time to play, on Nintendo Switch.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 means, it’s a good time to play, on PlayStation 5.

Netflix has more chance of going mainstream than Game Pass and PS Plus simply because it is a platform that millions of non-hardcore gamers are already using worldwide. Why did Candy Crush do so well? Because it was available on the platform that non-gamers already had -their phones!
