The last trailer showed technical improvements with higher resolutions and textures but disappointing the lighting direction of the original games had been changed so the mood conveyed was different and lost a bit of the atmosphere. I hope this is a switch back.

I'm happy for Housemarque that they've made a high quality title with Returnal that is reviewing so well. I won't be buying it simply because nowadays I just don't have the patience (and maybe the skill!) for hard games and rogue-likes. But the premise is great and I hope to try a friend's copy at some point in the future.

I think the headline is misleading because there isn’t native next gen versions. It should say ‘Nier Replicant Supports 1080p On PS4 and 1440p On X1X’.

So much about the specifics of how Game Pass pays developers is unknown to the public so naturally there are conversations about how it works and its okay to discuss this. The writer Jez Corden says 'One of the ways people try to discredit Xbox Game Pass and assume that it "doesn't make money" is to point to Netflix, Spotify'. It is legitimate for journalists and the public to discuss Game Pass whether it is profitable and financially beneficial to developers. By Jez Co...

It’s great that Jim Ryan himself wrote the blog post about the reversal because it is indicative of a leader who takes responsibility, as opposed to passing on the update to community staff member or leaving it unnamed.

It also means Sony is aware of the social meadow hullabaloo about it over the past couple of weeks but is not responding because it doesn’t have to react to every hack journo looking to make a name from themselves.

I thought this was the expansion news! However this is just an update so you can store, but not play, your PS5 games on external storage for easier file management.

@RazzerRedux There was a Bloomberg article that said SSD expansion would come in the summer, it's not confirmation but hopefully this announcement means it's on its way. 1768d ago 21 agree3 disagreeView comment

The losses are most likely to be from the expense of including the weekly free games and the great costs incurred from paying the developers. But it’s biting it with the hope of growing consumer loyalty so in the long run it can be profitable.

@SeptemberinDecember Games which were 10/10 when released such as GoldenEye naturally will feel dated after 25+ years. It doesn't mean the original scores are invalid, it just means the scores were from the time of release.

I hope this turns out better than NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487138.

Marvels Avengers! I'm genuinely shocked. I wasn't too fussed about paying full wack but included free with my subscription and I will definitely give it a try. And Borderlands 3. Absolutely a good month.

@RazzerRedux Sterling work, thank you.

A 60 fps update for the widespread release is great. Hopefully this is a hint that Horizon Zero Dawn will also get an update for its Play At Home release.

Was this game made by Zack Snyder?

Space and horror seems to be a big genre mix this year. There's Returnal, Quantum Error and Haunted Space. I can see why as the loneliness of space is perfect setting for the fear of the monsters in the dark.

Reggie made his retirement money with r/wallstreetbets then cashed out! (perhaps...)

@BattleCat I get people disagreeing with opinion, but it's immature to disagree with facts. The Deathloop and GhostWire Tokyo deals are not exclusive because of a handshake, they are not remaining exclusive because of Phil Spencer's honour, they are remaining timed exclusives because of legally binding contracts.

@Fastantelope. Thank you for that. So if Sony are looking to complement these older games by adding trophies without changing the original code, maybe they are also looking at how to resolution boost them in the way Xbox does with older games.

I still hope to see this surprise!

@PingasoFromHell. Day one exclusives is not going to happen on PlayStation in the short or mid-term because Sony's exclusives bring in significant revenue from being on sale. God of War and Horizon Zero Dawn brought in a combined $1Billion in revenue in their first six months.

Sony's strategy is to make triple-A games that people will want to spend money on to play. Microsoft is prioritising building a high value subscription service over selling individual games. M...
