PlayStation Studios |OT41| Preserving Democracy until the Next Showcase
- Thread starter JuanLatino
- Start date
- Sony OT
So ready for Sony to just announce the Showcase. I notice every year I get too attached to this time of the year when the big showcases are about to happen.
All my fault...it's like a disease. But I need some really cool announcements to get excited about. The Square Enix sales news got me down.

We have barely seen what even a temporary sale of the PS5 being $399/$349 for the SKUs can do. Sony isn't flexible on price largely because the PS5 sells well at a high price and its nearest competitor (Xbox) has been greatly diminished this gen outside the height of the pandemic. But theyd absolutely drop the price if they needed to.
I've said it for months; a $599 PS5 Pro will be a "wait for the inevitable price drop" for most consumers in the current economic situations facing most of the world.
If it launches there, they will have a lot of supply sitting around waiting for retailers to just say "we gotta get this shit moving"
Higher than a $599 price instantly becomes a meme, lol

So people won't have to link to a psn at first? Or I'm reading it wrong? Because if you aren't matched automatically with PS4/PS5 players but only PC player psn isn't required no?

This time of year is always fun regardless of good or bad shows.
A bit of hype & fun is also nice with all the crap going on in the industry at large :(
The Last of Us franchise has become the Deus Ex of modern games for me - I see it and I want to play it.
Exactly. It's my favorite time of the year far. Although if the Showcase is like last year's, my mood can go sour quickly xD

Totally agree, Bungie made a lot of improvements in the last year and "Season of the Wish" became an apt name.
The temptation is daily to reinstall on PS5 but I don't think I can...
I've jumped back in for the first time in years and it's really good (albeit slightly overwhelming, even as someone who had around 1k hours in D1)
Theres been so many changes since I last played and about a bazillion different activities and quests
I assume that you need PSN to play online even even without cross play.
Added to my collection. The only one I've completed is Signalis which is a fantastically creepy game. Still got my backlog to get through but definitely going to make October my PS1 horror throwback month and play these games.

Are you me? Lmao. I've got Alisa in y backlog too. I'm a sucker for these retro survival horror indie games, they're too good.
They really under produced the Portals. I wouldn't be shocked if they ramped up production for a holiday push.
Hope you can get one soon! Loving mine so far… now I can do my morning hoyo dailies before I even get out of bed
I love my PlayStation Portal. Can't wait to play Diablo S4 on it.
Happy to hear it's doing well and is exceeding Sony's expectations. I hope they 1) announce a PS5/Portal bundle (could be nice for folks who haven't bought a PS5, yet) 2) announce new colour options and 3) update the software to add bitrate options and fix the stutter issues (I don't notice them that much, but it should be an easy software fix for Sony to match the PS5's stream refresh rate with the Portal's screen refresh rate — third party remote play app developers are already doing it).
Yup! Since I got mine I rarely play on the TV. Currently playing The pathless and Scarlet Nexus this way!
I'm glad it's doing well too! Of course I still hope for a ''Playstation Deck'' with shared library but the Portal is close enough!
Also it''s so comfortable!
Sony stocks were down for the last few days due to the Paramount deal but now are up over 4% due to the fiscal report.

I watched Bawkbasoup play Alisa and Signalis, I think those ones might be too scary for me lol
I wonder if they sell Concord at a reduced price instead of F2P, like HD2 and then do a good monetization practice, like HD2 but for PVP, so possibly they'd have to consider not selling guns or maps or balance/population hurting purchases, then will it find a healthy ecosystem between Sony and the consumer in terms of revenue?
They have to find a non hostile way to present dlc.

I'm still drawing a blank at who any of these actors are. Supermassive usually get at least one instantly recognizable actor for these game. Like Hayden Panettire in Until Dawn, or Brenda Song, David Arquette, and Justice Smith in The Quarry.
I am sorely tempted to try and get one before Vampire Survivors and Shadow of the Erdtree.
For anyone looking to get a PS Portal, they're in stock now at PS Direct. https://direct.playstation.com/en-us/buy-accessories/playstation-portal-remote-player
It will not disappoint in that regard :P
I don't think I could play Elden Ring on it, not because of latency or anything, but because I need to have every single pixel on the big screen. Man I can't believe it's only like a month before we get to dive back into that game.
VS will definitely be getting some portal use though!
Maybe the HD2 price is how they will price MP-only games?
As long as the post content is balanced, fair and also well priced without causing division in the population of the game and or expiring as some seasons do then I think that will be a good approach to follow.
Since unlike SP games, MP games make more money in the long run.
