Personally, I canceled after they raised the price in my region. I used it pretty much solely for streaming, which worked really well. But the new price was just too prohibitive for that use case.
It’s definitely working in the sense that it’s driving sales, and some people are buying, whereas before, no one seemed to care. However, what many people, especially Sony fans, don’t seem to understand is that while PlayStation games feel special and amazing to them, they don’t have the same appeal for the average PC gamer. The philosophy behind Sony-produced games prioritizes spectacle over substance, and a quick look at the top games on Steam shows that PC gamers often value the opposite. ...
Oh, great job on the false equivalence.
The only gaming account most PC gamers will readily use is Steam, because it’s the de facto platform in the ecosystem, just like PSN is for PlayStation and Microsoft is for Xbox. Anything else isn’t viewed positively, which is why any game that uses EOS (Epic Online Services), EA Play, Ubisoft Connect, etc., is often met with contempt.
With Sony, it’s particularly annoying because it offers nothing for that login. N...
I really hope they don’t. Companies need to understand that they can’t expect any level of success on a platform just because they release a game years later with absolutely no improvements, often at full price. Developers and publishers seem to forget that they aren’t entitled to sales just because they release a game; they either need to put in the work to build a fanbase or just forget about it.
Well, the good news is that this shows Japanese Twitter users are just as dumb as Western ones. It’s not a copyright-based lawsuit; if it were, things wouldn’t be as dire and concerning as they are. Nintendo is suing them for patent infringement, which should be a huge red flag for anyone who enjoys gaming, as Nintendo holds numerous patents over game mechanics that could significantly impact the market if they start enforcing them.
Seriously, they hold patents for features...
Ask Nintendo how much that helped them with the Gamecube and the Wii U. Exclusives alone aren't really anything, they are just one factor in what makes a devie provide value.
A Atari 50 style collection would be even better.
We should all really hope so. Otherwise, this could lead to many issues, as they hold patents on numerous game mechanics. And when I say numerous, I truly mean it. Take this one, for example:
"Abstract: In an example of a game program, a ground boarding target object or an air boarding target object is selected by a selection operation, and a player character is caused to board the selected boarding target object. If the player character aboard the air boarding target ...
No, but at least you will be able to reduce the amount of "hints" that they give you with a new toggle.
Making them completely shut up will be the work of modders.

Well if "gamers" buy it, then it's what "gamers" want.
And given that they are doing this, I'm assuming their previous remaster sold well enough.
With Sony fanboys, you can't really be logical; they don't care. They attach their opinions to buzzwords and will roll with it for all eternity. Some are still defending that BS SSD super speed that Sony touted when the PS5 was launched, even when it has been proven time and time again that it is not particularly special or needed, despite what the buzzword might lead them to believe.
The same will be true with the PSSR; they will sing its praises, and some are alre...
Well, because it's easy and cheap to do.
Plus they can get $10 out of everyone that will want to upgrade their PS4 version or full $70 from those that want to buy the native PS5 version in physical oe digital media - Assuming same price structure they used for TLOU2.
I think the title and description of this article are a bit misleading. It might appear that it represents the opinion of a former executive of Firwalk Studios. However, in reality, it reflects the opinion of Laura Fryer, who was an executive at Microsoft Game Studios and Epic Games about a decade ago.
Her video is fairly good and provides a lot of examples of this internal culture problem in other games she has worked on. However, it's not an insider perspective, and I...
RTX Remix is probably the most game-changing use of this technology so far, mainly because it's a fantastic tool for modding. And modders, who are incredibly dedicated and creative, have the potential to really push its potential to transform old games.
On the flip side, AI upscaling is a double-edged sword. It can greatly enhance image quality when used correctly. However, on PC, it’s frequently overused by developers as a quick fix, resulting in less-than-ideal native...
Maybe they are talking about lenght? Because RE4 Remake is definitely larger than the first two modern remakes.

The shift to a digital future for consoles is likely to be a major issue for many people. While physical media is almost obsolete on PCs, there are still numerous stores and distribution channels availabl...
Well, it locks you into a single digital store ecosystem, restricts access to many unlicensed accessories, and includes a subscription service for online play, which requires paying for the privilege of playing online in premium games. It also offers the option to place it vertically if you purchase an extra accessory and limits your options for mods and backward compatibility.
So yeah, it does offer a lot of features that a PC doesn’t. /s
Nah, we need a couple more games of this kind before we start saying that about Sony.
As for gaming in general, Nintendo has been doing that for decades already.
As a big Zelda fan, I'm pretty excited for this one. The enviromental puzzles and dungeons are the focus here, and those are two things that I really miss in modern Zelda games.
My only concern is with inventory management; apparently, there are a lot of items and echoes, and based on the previous games, I'm a big concerned about how bad managing them will be.
That makes a lot of sense. Microsoft is also working hard on their translation layer for Windows, so this handheld might not even be x86-based. This could give them a significant advantage over traditional PC handhelds in terms of size, heat, and battery life.
As for a traditional console, unless they keep costs low and Sony repeats the pricing mistakes of the PS3 with the PS6 – which might happen given their approach to the PS5 "Pro" – I don’t see it making a maj...
