Sony is worried if MS buys Activision, Call of Duty will be be constantly delayed and released with major features missing.

If you want a digital only console, PlayStation made one.

Also MS' advantage was bought with totally inadequate engineering, leading to something like a 90% failure rate on the early 360s.

And even that was like 3 years. PS3 won in the end.

Boring deranged bullshit. Returnal will be excellent on PC, and one hell of a handheld game on Steam Deck. Good for Sony for realizing it.

The 2018 reboot is an all time great.

Giving away free games is the standard tactic of the runner up. Sony introduced PS+ in a position of weakness against Xbox Live in the 360 era. Epic is burning money on free games to get their dogshit store onto our hard drives.

Except Jerry is defending PlayStation

Steam Deck verified

Definitely sucks. Aspyr was always a weird team to do this project tho. When Valve was pushing native Linux ports, Aspyr was generally worse performing than ports from Feral Interactive's. I didn't think they were set up to take on a game development project this big.

I don't think you can apply any history to project forward PC's standard exclusivity window. Sony has only begun to loosen up on PC ports. Nixxes probably has a lengthy roadmap of ports from existing PS4/5 games. With each port they're improving their pipeline, tools, and team communication which will make the next port easier. Also Sony will set the expectation from devs to consider the PC earlier in production, and handle more of the work themselves. It might take 2 years, but I think we'll get to the point where PC builds are working on release date. There won't nee

2022 hasn't peaked until GOTY: Ragnarok

Returnal confirmed beyond a shadow of a doubt on Steam. AND with an official Steam Deck profile! https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/now-returnals-pc-listing-has-been-updated-to-show-steam-deck-support/

This is a joke right? The most buzzworthy game of the year is on both of my systems, but not Switch or Xbox.

Best fucking controller. Probably want to get yourself an nvme drive soon. This one looks decent: https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-aorus-1tb/p/N82E16820009012?Item=N82E16820009012&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-20-009-012-_-07262022

Goddamn it's hilarious that Nintendo is so far behind the emulation scene passed them. I can't think of another time when you could literally emulate brand new games better than the native console. Even with the OG Xbox that was basically a Dell computer, emulation didn't mature until years later.

In an interview with Games industry.biz, the founder of Eidos Montreal suggests that Square is fire-selling western teams to prepare for an acquisition by PlayStation. Square sold 3 significant teams including Crystal Dynamics to a publisher called Embracer for only 300M. Embracer had recently bought Gearbox for 1.3B. The founder, Stephane D'Astous cites rumors that Sony wanted to buy Square Japan, but wasn't interested in the rest of the tteams. Personally I think those western teams would be a good addition to PlayStation studios, especially at such low prices. Despite Crystal Dy

Might play on Deck.

The best Syphon Filter games are on PSP. Sony Bend is a AA dev that could break into AAA if they just had a bit more imagination.

PS3 hit at the perfect time where I had plenty of money to buy games and no responsibilities. I still own more PS3 games than any other system.

The best AAA exclusive games are usually in year 3-4. PS4 wins for being a super easy transition. Great early games were Dragon Age Inquisition, MGS5, Infamous Second Son, and Bloodborne.

A remake of RDR would be great, but there's always been rumors that the code is too shitty to port to modern systems. Apparently that's why there was never a PC version despite both consoles being kinda shit (PS3 esp). Personally I just hate RDR2's overall feel. Walking around feels too slow. Shooting is all around atrocious, worse than GTA5. You either use the autoaim which often doesn't lock onto the right target, or free aim which this game is just not designed for. The real experience of playing it is somewhere in between where I'm constantly fighting against the lock-on.

Yeah I was blown away by this recently while testing out emulation on the Steam Deck. Ignoring everything else, they did a trilogy of mainline 3D gtas on PS2, and Vice City and San Andreas are still the most loved. Then 2 on PS3, and 0 on PS4. Crazy.

Imo the joke is that Rockstar can only make 0.5 games in a generation. Not that GTAV isn't great. Naughty Dog doesn't have this problem.

Yeah and the PS5 remake looks like a bigger jump than the PS4 remaster. It deserves this attention because it's the best example of the AAA game so far. It took the mantle from classics like Half Life 2 and Bioshock. And they're making an HBO TV show based on it. So yeah it earned PS4 and PS5 versions. I got the PC versions of Skyrim and GTA so no rebuys there. But again, these are mega-hits. People continue to play them, spanning hardware generations.
