Damn really had to think about all the stuff that is coming out this week alone, plus what's come out in the last 12 months. Thats alot of food on the plate.
hehe time to preload Ratchet. Waiting for reviews was a formality and now it's time to commit.
Sony's having a crazy year in my eyes, in spite of the pandemic

It's quite funny really. $229m for Insomniac. Absolute steal and possibly the best purchase any publisher has ever really made. It's a shame they couldn't make their original IP take off more to drive the price up a little more.
I'm agreeing with you about Insomniac, but with all the grass is greener going on in the thread last few days today is a reality check for many.
Yup. PS2 really got going in 2001, so its more like the tail end of year 1/start of year 2 where it really got going for that console. PS3 and 4... not even close. I honestly would have to check what the PS1 even had in its first year.
Helps that in addition to an excellent line up, the patches and enhanced BC have led to no shortage of games to play. I've definitely never been quite this spoiled by the first year of a consoles life. Even non exclusives have been pretty great for the console - RE8, Guilty Gear Strive, the upcoming Judge Eyes sequel (ok, not out but I can already guess its gonna rock)... now cue a thread about someones PS5 gathering dust ;)
Pretty loaded week indeed.Ratchet & Clank
FF7 Intergrade
Guilty Gear
All in one week
Ratchet looks incredible, what the hell is Spider-Man 2 going to look like? I kind of hope Naughty Dog reveal their first PS5 only game too early just so we get a glimpse of what games will look like mid-gen.
Twitter truly does have the worst video compression ever. I do not understand it.
👀
Lmao.
Why are there so many teases lately?
Though, this one is more of a joke right?
I figure someone in here will know the answer to this:
I own FF7R PS4 version and have a PS5. I went to to look up Intergrade on the PS Store and it says not available to purchase. How do I go about upgrading to the PS5 version of FF7R and getting the DLC?
I've already uploaded my save from the PS4 version as well.

I'm not teasing anything. Just more of a comment on Insomniac dropping a banger available Friday Vs the doom and gloom there's been.
The upgrade version isn't live yet. I know it's weird because you can pre-order Intergrade, but the PS5 upgrade is separate and presumably only going live on the 10th, so there's no way to currently pre-load it.
The DLC won't be available for purchase until launch.
The game itself will say unavailable until launch, then you'll get the download option.
Wait until release date. When Intergrade is release then we will probably be able to upgrade to the PS5 version. The DLC will be sold seperate so also wait until release.
Thank you, everyone! I thought the pre-load for the upgrade and intergrade was today. Got very confused with this whole upgrade and DLC situation. I appreciate the help
This makes more sense, yeah.
The amount of great first party releases during PS5s first year is crazy.
7 Months.
Even if you simply remove the cross gen games that everybody complains about it's still an incredible start for PS5.
That's a great comparison. Things are so much better compared to the PS4 launch (though Resogun should be there), which was honestly quite mediocre. What was the next exclusive PS4 got anyways, Bloodborne in 2015?7 Months.
7 Months.
What a lineup. And this is why I don't ever see myself abandoning PS. The games are just too phenomenal to pass up
I want to hear your all's theory on why Insomniac never makes games that get into the 90s on Metacritic (technically they did 17 years ago, but I mean). We can all agree they're an amazing studio - maybe overall Sony's best - and their level of output is unmatched, so I'm curious what you all think is the reason.
I think there's two reasons. One is, they never change up their long-running series in any dramatic way and, in a similar vein, their games never feel like "woah, never played anything like this before." Like, Uncharted 2 did so much to improve on the formula in Uncharted 1. Uncharted 4 felt different, too. More serious storytelling tone, more open areas, fleshed out stealth mechanics, etc. God of War PS4, I mean, what else can I say there. Nintendo famously does this, too. They don't fit into my second reason at all, but they're all about making changes to never make a series feel samey.
And two, their storytelling, while fun and never remotely bad, never quite reaches the heights of Santa Monica or Naughty Dog. Spider-Man is the best they've ever done, and it was good, but I wouldn't put it in the higher class of game storytelling. It's like a very solid comic story. If they were in a slightly different class on either of those two, I think a game like R&C Rift Apart could have easily been in the 90s.
Of course, none of this matters all that much, because I'm just so glad Insomniac is a studio that exists, and it's such a huge get for Sony. I can't get over how good they are. It's just an interesting thought to me, that despite how incredibly solid they are, they never reach those Naughty Dog heights.
