Anyone else having trouble finding excitement for games on current gen now? We're so darn close that I just wanna put console gaming on hold till November.
Insomniac has been able to focus on more than one project since at least the PS3 generation since they have, what, at least two completely separate full-sized studios in different locations & have had such for a decade if not more. That's not a new thing.Sony is expanding their studios though.
They now have multiple studios working on more than 1 project at a time. Insomniac is the first one we know that is doing that (Miles Morales and Ratchet & Clank).
They also opened a studio that is yet to be revealed.
They have multiple 3rd party deals as well.
We also know Sony IS looking for new acquisitions. They said so themselves.
They will be fine.
Yeah eventually the value will be too great and like Netflix they can bump up the price.I don't believe gamepass will stay with these prices on long term but I can be wrong. I think when people will be on board price will start to go up.
Other thing I don't like on gamepass model is that besides Microsoft content everything stays there just for a time period(rdr2 stayed less than 6 months)
If you knew how much these games cost, you'd understand this increase in the price.The thing Sony is doing completely wrong is the price increase in games.
MS now has a $300 new console with gamepass and Sony now has their 1st party games at 80€ for a single new game in Europe.
For now it's okay...but it could be a tough pill to swallow if Gamepass starts having 3rd party games in there from day one.
Summary: Sony needs more 1st party studios.
This isn't really true. It's different. Insomniac's James already explained it a little bit here:Insomniac has been able to focus on more than one project since at least the PS3 generation since they have, what, at least two completely separate full-sized studios in different locations & have had such for a decade if not more.

Just a load of people predicting Sony have to buy Capcom or Square-Enix to avoid impending d
Sony silence is really tough going. 1 and a half months till launch now and we still have to hope and pray when we'll next hear from them.
This set of posts made my day. Time to go check mine and maybe watch that Demon Souls trailer in 4K. It already looked ridiculous watching the stream on my phone. I can't imagine how it will look on my tv.
Why is it that at the start of EVERY new generation, the PlayStation is ALWAYS in trouble and is always just one step away from being out of the industry?
Oh the remasters aren't a last ditch effort...My bigger concern is that Bioware might end up under Microsoft. They had a terrible generation and I can see EA wanting to unload them after the Anthem / Andromeda fiascos. The remasters seems like a last ditch effort to make money on the ME franchise.
Try to ignore the noise. The PS5 is going to have a killer first year :)Ok... this is a serious question.

Like, how can a company so consistently be in trouble and how can whateer else its competition is doing always be so good and guaranteed to win the industry while Playstation fades away.or has only so far managed to win by chance. I mean now a company that somehow manages to churn out at least 2 first party AAA exclusives/year doesn't have enough?
Not gonna lie, this thread is really kind sad or depressing to read. I think the mods should outright make talking about possible acquisitions be bannable in this thread, and someone can open an acquisitions thread to talk about that knda stuff there.
Yea, I don't understand it.Seems like it, at least TLOU info should come in on saturday.
The console is releasing in 1 month and half and there is still so many thinks to see, not quit sure why they are delayed it so much.
Ok... this is a serious question.

Because some people have a serious issue putting things into perspective and are reactionary. This applies to both sides.Ok... this is a serious question.

as long as we keep having TLOU2, God of War and Horizon tier games, fucking yes i'm paying 70$ to Sony.
also this is only if you need to jump on launch as sony games usually don't take long to get deals and price drops.
They might've had to support each other when needed & moved people between projects, but Insomniac has been working on multiple projects simultaneously for a long time. This Miles Morales/Ratchet PS5 situation is hardly new.This isn't really true. It's different. Insomniac's James already explained it a little bit here:
Stop teasing a "ME: Andromeda Remake" and drop some hints about Bloodborne 2
Yeah. It's honestly crazy to me (in a good way) that Sony drops prices on their first party games so much.
I'm not the type of person who could wait on a game like God of War, but I do feel jealous seeing it go on sale for like $10.

True. But as you can see, they do not have two full-sized studios or teams.They might've had to support each other when needed & moved people between projects, but Insomniac has been working on multiple projects simultaneously for a long time. This Miles Morales/Ratchet PS5 situation is hardly new.
Tbh I was so sure about picking up PS5 but with the MS Bethesda announcement and them actually sticking to their word on things I may just cancel my order and go MS this gen.
Anyone else feel let down by Sony and not that great about what's been happening?
And I'm a die-hard Sony fan just btw.
I will cancel mine, I have to go to store to finalize it. And bought a the series X.
Never had a non Sony console, but the gamepass and Sony not respond to it, instead they make the games more expensive. It's like they are in their shell and believe that no player will move from the playstation, they will react when they felt the loss but XBox its better prepared that the 360/PS3 generation.
Since the gamepass appear I looked at it with some envy.
And had to eat some crow, Yakuza, FF , Kingdom Hearts games were on the offer, meanwhile I bought some of them in PS. Sony made a segment of untitled goose game on SOP , and the game went day one to gamepass. With Bhestheda, and having already inxile, obsidian, rare, the proposition is to good to pass.
in Xbox they talk of game upgrades and all will be free, on PS we know that almost everygame runs, but they run like they run on the PRo, Better? Whouldn't be gennius to upgrade the flagship First party games for free. If i knowed that I would play the remastered (never thought it would be a thing on PS4 games with the BC) Spiderman , Tlous 2 with better graphics and at, 60 FPS, same for Horizon, GoT, etc I would be egger to get the chance to play it on PS5, but instead sony made the remaster I full price game and is sillent on the others..
t was difficult to me to make the decision, I was invested on Sony FP games and on ecosystem, I have Plus until end of 2022, and had some hope that Sony would do a service revamp and merge, I bought the 12 months on last Days of Play. It was a bet on a move like MS were we could pay 1$ to turn it on the new service...
Just to summarize , the silence, the last PS5 event (and that post show) put me on alert , the acquisition of Bhestheda was the cataclysm for the change. IF I have time and need I will buy a PS5 in the end of generation to play the FP games of the generation.
I think that the user migration will be significant.
We are in the middle of a pandemic which they said many times have being a massive challenge and it obvious they are following a plan are we really going to start this cycle again?Seems like it, at least TLOU info should come in on saturday.

Acquire From Software and let them make Bloodborne 2, while Bluepoint makes Demon's Souls 2 :P
Its the same at the start of every single gen with it comes to Sony.Ok... this is a serious question.

Except for Halo Infinite, doubt it.What was Insomniac focused on when they were doing the first Spider-Man?
So MS games don't cost that much?
Ratchet PS5 started dev when they were finishing up Spidey, if I recall correctly. And they were already planning Spider-Man 2 and Miles Morales.What was Insomniac focused on when they were doing the first Spider-Man?
Meanwhile I'm still waiting for confirmation whether I get a PS5 near launch or not. I had a reservation (earlier this year) to one place but got information that I won't get it at launch so I cancelled it. I pre-ordered it from another place and I'm hoping this one sticks. 🤞 But I was at work while the pre-orders opened and I made the order a few hours later so... 😬Received an email yesterday from Amazon regarding my PS5 orders. At first I thought they canceled them :P
But they told me I need to change the payment option. Instead of getting the money directly from my bank account, they want me to pay with a credit card. Weird. ..... typical Americans ;P
I try, but it's impossible to ignore. Especially here. And I have no doubt that the PS5 would do well. Just feel that this "noise" can better be contained as opossed to allowing it poison every single thread on ERA (exaggeration, but you get my point).Oh the remasters aren't a last ditch effort...
Try to ignore the noise. The PS5 is going to have a killer first year :)
I don't have a people problem. But I believe the Playtaton OT thread is to talk about playstatio, the studios they have and or upcoming games. And yes, any new piece of Plystation rlated news that coes up.What is your peopel problem with other peopel discussing this things? Why does it bother you so much?

That's basically it ;)
