You and I wait anxiously for confirmation...do we have any official informations about the Metal Gear Solid collection ? Is it Playstation only ?
We're celebrating the release of Tears of the Kingdom. Check out the thread here!

I have never seen a comment from you where you weren't a Salty haterWould at least last more than my interest in splatoon 3
Some of you all are ridiculously dramatic, jesusI’m not normally harsh on these shows but that was absolutely dog shit
Jim Ryan is Don Matrick 2.0, he just has a larger market share that’s more difficult to squander
They absolutely are being criticized by people. The difference has always been that for many, Sony gets all the 3rd party AAA games effectively exclusive. Even if Spiderman 2 got delayed till 2024, for some people Sony/PS5 will offer them Street Fighter 6, Final Fantasy 16, Assassin's Creed Mirage, etc.Being honest though, after how so many people in 2018 and 2020 were basically going all super critical because Nintendo only had 1 big game alongside some medium/smaller games, remakes and ports, I feel Sony should get just as much criticism if not more for their lack of first party games this year, like Spiderman is huge but that also is just one big game, alongisde just a few other stuff here and there.
I mean that's been the case for a while. Nintendo's 1st party output is usually 2-3 times bigger than Sony's annually partially because their games are smaller and have shorter development times. That's where a lot of the third party support for Sony (and Xbox as well) fills in. And it works for them all.Being honest though, after how so many people in 2018 and 2020 were basically going all super critical because Nintendo only had 1 big game alongside some medium/smaller games, remakes and ports, I feel Sony should get just as much criticism if not more for their lack of first party games this year, like Spiderman is huge but that also is just one big game, alongisde just a few other stuff here and there.
Yup. It's notable that they don't even have that anymore, with most of these game's day 1 Xbox and pc.They absolutely are being criticized by people.

I guess, however I must say I don't get why they never brought their football games to the Switch, at least like a version with less features. Those games had PSP versions until like, 2014.Unlike Namco and Sega, Konami has no incentive to leave out Nintendo. I wholeheartedly believe both MGS Delta and Silent Hill remake will be on the successor. They don't do the "but the audience is not there!!!" shit.
I never got those kinds of complaints, same for asset reuse. If it looks good, who cares? It's not like Insomniac is just phoning it in. And frankly the more ways we can reduce crunch in this industry, the better.Not me seeing people complain about Spider Man 2 reusing animations
Sony's been steadily building up their first party portfolio but by and large it's the third party games that really sell on their console. They'll be fine on the back of FFXVI and SF6.I feel Sony should get just as much criticism if not more for their lack of first party games this year
I suppose that's part of their reason why they've been pivoting to nurturing their own intellectual properties. Third parties are just finding it more profitable to go multiplat.Yup. It's notable that they don't even have that anymore, with most of these game's day 1 Xbox and pc.
Regardless of whether it's a showcase or SoP, I really wish we could do away with no-gameplay trailers.a boat load of CGI trailers or trailers that showed nothing about a game
The one positive point about Project Q over other non-console ventures is that it's not something they need to actively develop software for. So I wouldn't be as worried about the long term support of it as many other Sony gaming projects even if it does bomb, which is something.But looking at Project Q, and the lack of PSVR2 support in this showcase, I really think they deserve the same skepticism for their non-home console hardware the same way Nintendo gets for their non-handheld consoles.
sony brought it on to themselves with their graphics over everything else strategy. same deal with xbox. you spend all that time going on and on about horsepower and reflections and graphical prowess dont be surprised when the people you trained to value that turn on you for the slightest imperfection.Watching the Kinda Funny guys drag Sony for this showcase is pretty telling. I will say some of the reactions are woof. Spider man 2 looks like a PS3 game apparently.
But also, do we need Spider Man 2 to look, um, perfect I guess is the word? There's a lot going on in that game. I feel like some graphical set backs for technical upkeep is a good trade. This chasing graphics nonsense really takes me out of gaming sometimes. Might be the Nintendo fanboy in me I guess where I abide by the gameplay > graphics rule more than anything.
Agreed. And it puts them in a bind from a developmental standpoint when they marketed themselves to the degree they have with graphics. They’ve conditioned their core audience to only correlate premium with cutting edge visuals, limiting what they can sell as legitimate 1st party IP. They have to rely more than ever on 3rd parties filling the gaps bc the type of games they’ve identified themselves with are so expensive, their release schedule would be barren if it depended primarily on them.sony brought it on to themselves with their graphics over everything else strategy. same deal with xbox. you spend all that time going on and on about horsepower and reflections and graphical prowess dont be surprised when the people you trained to value that turn on you for the slightest imperfection.
I’d rather they made a PS3 powered handheld that can play all the PlayStation classics up through PS3 and remote play with PS5 for $150.I didn't watch the showcase, but watched the MGS3 trailer, it's fine for a CG trailer but ultimately I got the same mileage out of it that seeing it on a upcoming releases list would've. Probably shouldn't have expected more considering Sony's well known for their CG trailers, but with how long that MGS3 remake's been in the pipeline I was honestly actually expecting to see at least a bit of proper gameplay. I do like that they're still going to rerelease the older games, including the OG version of MGS3, that pleases the preservationist side of my brain. And as someone who has a decent rig I also like that the remake's coming to PC, not uncommon these days of course but I was still kind of thinking it might be PS exclusive for a while or something like that.
The one positive point about Project Q over other non-console ventures is that it's not something they need to actively develop software for. So I wouldn't be as worried about the long term support of it as many other Sony gaming projects even if it does bomb, which is something.
Still, I do wonder how broad the appeal is gonna be for that when you can stream to any device. Most casual players I'd think would be happy packing their controller and using their phone, tablet, or laptop in a pinch. Meanwhile the core group of players that want something more specialist I think would rather invest into Steam Deck or some other proper gaming PC, so you have a dedicated handheld, and can stream to it if you want to boot. There's a narrow group in between I see wanting some cheap middle ground like the Q, but lord knows how large that group actually is.
I agree. Considering we got Majora’s Mask, Galaxy 2, and Tears of the Kingdom basically reusing assets whole cloth, I think we will be fine with the gameplay changes. Hell. Almost the entirety of the 3DS end of life was reused assets and there were lots of good games.I never got those kinds of complaints, same for asset reuse. If it looks good, who cares? It's not like Insomniac is just phoning it in. And frankly the more ways we can reduce crunch in this industry, the better.
Honestly, a “PS Plus Premium” handheld would be a compelling offering for me. That’s the main reason I got a Vita in the first place. To play the PS Classics handheld.I’d rather they made a PS3 powered handheld that can play all the PlayStation classics up through PS3 and remote play with PS5 for $150.
PS3 Mini would be sick, not gonna lie. Will probably also be a licensing nightmare though.PS3 powered handheld that can play all the PlayStation classics up through PS3
Yeah frankly I'm way more interested in changes to mechanics, level design, gameplay loops etc. than assets. Spider-Man 2 has shown a lot of cool new stuff, I just find it silly to rake the devs over the coals for "reusing assets".Considering we got Majora’s Mask, Galaxy 2, and Tears of the Kingdom basically rescuing assets whole cloth, I think we will be fine with the gameplay changes

I don't know man. I think these people want 5-7 year dev cycles lmao. Like people are even taking issue with manhattan looking similar like....jfc. People trashing Insomniac are dumb tbh. I wish I could be nicer about it but they are one of the premier devs that put out games at a pace not many AAA devs do tbh. Maybe I'm biased towards them so I'm just taken aback more than I should lmao.I never got those kinds of complaints, same for asset reuse. If it looks good, who cares?

I find Ryan really dislikable, I miss Uncle Jack.I’m not normally harsh on these shows but that was absolutely dog shit
Jim Ryan is Don Matrick 2.0, he just has a larger market share that’s more difficult to squander
If it’s any consolation I would have said this about Jim Ryan on Tuesday alsoSony not announcing what some of their studios are doing today =/= the shitstorm that Don Matrick caused for the Xbox brand.
If you think that’s dramatic wait till you hear me talk about Valkyria ChroniclesSome of you all are ridiculously dramatic, jesus
You can buy them thankfully. And if you had them on PS3, you even get them for free (I know because I had Wild Arms and it was available instantly to download and I didn’t have plus at the time). Some of the games are more than the old $6 US price point most of these games were though (not sure what the equivalent was in other regions).I was hyped as hell when I saw Marathon. But when I learned it was another PvP extraction shooter game... urgh, seriously, why another flippin' one ?!
Now I'm curious about the Sam Lake character in Alan Wake 2. Is it Max Payne ?
EDIT :
Dear PS5 owners, I might get one around July or August, so I have a question about PS1 games : can you still buy them or is it like the Switch NSO and you must be part of the PS+ to play any PS1 game they added to their catalog ?

Thank you !Some you can buy, some you can't
The majority yes, but then you have Namco titles like Tekken 2 and Ridge Racer Type 4 where you can only access them with the sub even if you bought it on PS Classics on PS3/VitaI was hyped as hell when I saw Marathon.

Kind of? It's a company formed by a bunch of ex-Journey devs. The original company is still around thoughTIL that the guys who made ABZU made Journey
Can we call it the PS5 U?
Argh, off course RR Type 4 is in this situation. I loved this game -the only Ridge Racer I liked- back then.The majority yes, but then you have Namco titles like Tekken 2 and Ridge Racer Type 4 where you can only access them with the sub even if you bought it on PS Classics on PS3/Vita
it definitely felt like an investor targeted - see our commitment to hot MP live service games - presentation - i expect as i've said before, that single player games from Sony will most likely slow to a drip feed of one every year or two, and there will be a partner game (DS2, ROTR, FF etc...) to have some single player games while most of their studios go in hard on MP stuff with the core few studios making single player event games every few years (next Guerilla and ND games are MP for example which will push out Horizon 3, next ND single player games further in the schedule) - no studio expansion or acquisition has been made to create more single player content.I saw Nate post on Era that he thinks Sony didn't really feel the urgency to do a blowout given how well the PS5 is doing right now, and I'm inclined to agree with him on this occasion. PS5 is selling like $500 hot cakes, and even though Sony only have 1 major first party game coming for the rest of this year in Spidey, third parties more than make up the shortfall on this occasion. They can afford to hold back for the next 9-12 months.
Honestly, this felt like it targeted investors as much as gamers, the CGI teasers with little to no gameplay seemed more to highlight 'hey look at what all our new acquisitions are getting up to.' It also highlights just how much Sony are jumping on the GAAS multiplayer train. Like, they're going all in on it seemingly.
