We know for a fact that Kingdom Come. Deliverance is going to have the exact same size game world because of the limitations of the Xbox series s It's one of the things that I really wish at xbox would just get rid off.
At this point for me it doesn't matter if there is no PS3 emulation, simply remastering the PS3 exclusives that aren't available anywhere else would be enough for me. Killzone trilogy, Resistence trilogy, Infamous dualogy etc. Especially if that leads to a PC version of the games.

It’s hilarious how one of the biggest and best game releases of 2024 (Stellar Blade) is a console exclusive that Sony repped and touted as a big PS5 exclusive title, yet Black Myth Wukong is supposedly a secret last minute “money-hat exclusive”. Xbox fanboys and “journalists” will do everything imaginable to paint PlayStation as the evil empire for the sake of saving face for Xbox fucking themselves over yet again.
Jez Corden has done nothing but run interference this gen. From the ABK deal, to xbox going multiplat to this Wukong situation, he has always tried to get ahead of the story and control the narrative in favour of Microsoft. A true corporate shill.
I think the developers of Black Myth Wukong have been pretty clear that they're still optimising the game for Xbox and that it won't be ready for launch, but will launch once it's ready. This has nothing to do with exclusivity agreements, and the Microsoft representative didn't say anything to imply that there was such an agreement, he's just saying that he can't comment on any agreements that might exist between Sony and them (as he wouldn't have knowledge of it). If the game was a Playstation exclusive, they would have simply said so. Most likely the Series S causing delays again.
Yea, you can't "minimize" an exclusivity arrangement after its been made, nor announce the release date on your own terms based off development progress.
Just saying - the Wukong statement from Microsoft ISN'T saying there's an exclusivity agreement... it's just saying they can't comment on any agreements that they may have. I think it's likely an example of MS letting people's imagination and Sony-hate doing most of the heavy lifting. Of course it may well end up that way, but I think MS would rather that narrative out there, rather than yet another Series S problem.
Right. I can't imagine microsoft saying things like "Yeah our Series S system is holding back game developers" which is why they do these weird "could mean anything" statements.
I honestly just think it was them saying they can't comment. Having worked at a large corporation like that, there's alot less outward pettiness than you'd expect. Most of that is internal.
Because Microsoft knows it's not a Series S Problem. This man brought up Larian and BG3 but they were specific on what issues they were encountering with the Series S. Specifically the split-screen component which does not exist in Wukong. Game Science spoke in no specifics, they just a general PR statement that practically says Sony Paid us because they have no exclusive games shipping this year but that trash Concord and interesting looking Ninja Gaiden Dark Souls game.
@@HXXXXWXXN which is why there is no anouncement. Phil came ouot and said that they (other platform holders) were doing deals that make being Xbox hard. It's not hard to see. I don't blame Nintendo or Sony, two Japanese comanies against the lowly 3rd place american one. Like it's not hard to see who's Mario and Luigi and who's Bowser. I believe because gaming has become so public, the stuff you would had to read about in a game informer magazine has been giving to anyone with a camera and a microphone. SO alot of the secret deals you never hear about are getting out there. I don't blame Sony or Game Science, it's business at the end of the day. You got to play the game, which is why I believe Microsoft's statement eluded to it. either wau I'm on PC so I'll be enjoying it there..... So Icould care less about the Console situation, just hat to see ppl punching down to prop their brand up.
Black Myth: Wukong is one of the most anticipated games of the year. There would be advertisements everywhere about how it's a "console exclusive" for PlayStation if there was an agreement. There wasn't even a trailer in the last State of Play. It's just another Baldur's Gate 3 situation with Xbox (Series S specifically, and that's why Xbox is going next gen in 2026, earlier than expected).
This sounds right. Sony would be talking up their exclusivity if that was a thing. And nobody really talks about how much series S is a problem 4 years in to this generation.
I don't understand this narrative that Sony would secretly be paying for exclusivity for any game. If Sony paid for exclusivity they would be shouting it from the rooftops and advertising the game as a console exclusive, like they did with FF7 Remake/Rebirth, Rise of the Ronin and Stellar Blade. In what world would they pay possibly millions of dollars for exclusivity and then just do nothing with that exclusivity?
Yeah, exactly. Exclusives (even timed exclusives) exist to drive console sales. That's always how it's been. No company hands a developer tens of millions of dollars for a game then doesn't heavily advertise it as "Only on ____"
I don't think PlayStation paid for timed exclusivity and feel Xbox is just doing damage control. We're used to Xbox or should be by now how they do business and their tactics.
Lol Jez Corden is the same guy who said last year that Microsoft would never port their console exclusives months before they actually did. He doesn’t know anything and is another in a long line of failed and unlikeable Xbox influencers, and part of the reason that brand is in the dire straights it is. Black Myth Wukong is running into the same troubles that Baldur’s Gate 3 is, as Spender, in all his infinite wisdom, caused with his Series S strategy and parity clause. Anyone who says Sony is paying for random timed exclusives like with this and other random ports that skip Xbox (Marvel vs. Capcom Arcade Fighting Collection) doesn’t know what they’re talking about. The Series S parity clause, low Xbox install base, poor software sales on the platform, lack of a global presence outside of the US, years long brand damage (due to multiple reasons, one being not having a first party exclusive nominated for GotY since President Bush left office) are all much more likely contributions to why many games from different developers are skipping Xbox, rather than evil Sony/Nintendo paying for exclusivity, all while said claim lacks any evidence. This game among many others will just be the start of Sony and Nintendo amassing a large collection of timed/permanent third party exclusives, while former third party exclusives on Xbox will vanish. I wouldn’t be surprised if more big games like Monster Hunter Wilds is going to get delayed on Xbox as well.
Big homie that sounded good coming out but is baseless on a lot of levels. Starfield, a game that pushes the 4090 4K maxed, runs on the Series S along with some of the most demandning games out there like RDR2, Cyberpunk etc all run on the Series S. Games that are far more demanding than Larians BG3. Larian was very specific on what issues there were encountering specfically the split-screen component on the seriens S. Don't give me that game quality crap when Black Myth Wukong is shipping on PC and will be played on RX 580's and GTX 1060's. like bro you and this youtuber should do some more research. Because blaming the series S ain't the answer. Xbox is not asking for visual parity my guy, they are asking for feature parity. Visuals are not a feature, anyone who buys a Series S understands they are not buying a graphically enhanced system. and as far as that install base crap, there are still over 20 million users on the Xbox Series platforms, no indie developer unless you have been paid, can afford to simply miss out on millions of sales when you know your game is the most hyped game this year. so to my homie in the comments saying this is common sense, no this doesn't make sense which is why it is a literally a topic of dicussion. But I guess sense ain't so Common these days. and I'm not even an Xbox owner I'm on PC with gamepass but even I can tell when I see so BS like what game science is spewing.
@@robertlawrence9000ue 5 and all next gen engines also run like trash on ps5 and series x, with games running at native 720p and 900p the series s is underpowered but stop pretending the series x and ps5 are some kind of premium hardware, those are low end devices too
MS's statement makes more sense within context of a question bringing exclusivity deals up to begin with. First they answered what's going on with Wukong with a vague non-answer, then they answered the exclusivity part separately with "we can't comment on" as a way of saying "we have no idea what Sony's deals are". Windows Central is just a fanboy-driven outlet not being upfront with their inquiry/question.
@@byte-bg4ob i’ll put a ps3 disc in my ps5 later and tell you what it says, i’m guessing it’ll say unsupported format or wtv, bc i think ps5 discs are ultra hd blu ray, and ps3 is just normal blu ray but idk if it makes a difference
@@ubulayne_ PS4 discs are blu-rays so it should work in theory to read the disc. The main problem is that it can't read CD's (goodbye PS1) and it can read DVD's (PS2) but you can't pop the disc in to claim those games like Xbox does. More likely than not, it'll read the disc and just not do anything since Sony's strategy is to pay for the game again.
I hope they do some kind of PS3 emulation. Streaming a game ( for me) on ANY platform is just not good enough! It doesn't work. I have tried streaming on all modern consoles AND PC, The game doesn't matter either, it is way too laggy and hitches like crazy. like watching a video that just stutters and freezes every few seconds. Also there is NO WAY they would allow you to put in ps3 dicks into a ps5 and let you play away. it would be more like Nintendo switch online where they have a selection for you.
Sony and there studios should really take a harder look at there old unused IP on the classics catalog. The classics catalog has so many games that are perfect for a reboot remake. For example, Syphon Filter, legend of dragoon, Wild arms, DARK CLOUD and the Mark Of Kri would all be perfect games for a remake or sequel.
The Xbox Series S is their best selling current gen console though. The best way to abandon it is to just launch a new product. Their next gen box needs to launch in 2026.
@@BlackSkyZ2 currently the series S it's limiting Xbox, it's the reason wukong isn't being released day 1 on Xbox and the series X users are getting screwed by that. Microsoft f'd up because they are enforcing the parity clause and it's screwing his own users, series s user should be the one waiting not everyone.
@@immortaldragon8018 You are thinking with emotions and not business like. They make 70-80% of their money from series S users. Xbox series X users in that case will come secondary. I don’t really care since I can just play hundreds of other games with much better graphics on my series x, if the game gets praise from others, I could buy it, after it gets released on my preferred console. Most likely the game will be bad anyways, almost no Chinese video game released in history have been good and I don’t think this one game will magically change that.
@@MarcusM334 I remember all the whining that happened when Microsoft payed for something like a year of exclusivity for Rise of the Tomb Raider.

@@MarcusM334so you’d have been crediting Sony if they bought FromSoft and Take 2 right? Inb4 “BrOkE sOnY! 🤪” $26 billion on the Paramount deal shows they got the money if need be…
Surely the key word in their statement is "partners". They can't comment on their partners, meaning xbox partners, and how they do deals with other platforms like Sony. Going by that this statement or at least that second part of it has nothing to do with Game Science or Black Myth. But be cause the sentence is after their first part of the statement people assume they're still talking about Black Myth. Either I'm missing something or most people who have been riled up by this statement have poor reading comprehension... EDIT: On a side note, this could have been done intentionally to confuse readers and steer the narritave away from "xbox series s bad". Microsoft/Xbox are smart...they know what they're doing and how to mince words.
I really hope they don't completely give up on twisted metal. I have fond memories of playing twisted metal throughout my earlier gaming years, and the industry desperately needs more multiplayer vehicle combat games, ideally with couch co-op like the good ole days
Long live PS2! I understand that so many gamers have fond memories of Sly Cooper and I'm happy that also new gamers are enjoying such a great classic that is as fun as any new games today.
Wukong skipping xbox at launch is because they wont get series s/x optimization ready in time. Why noone understands how much planning have to be done before releasing a game. They sceduled the release for august. In such projects one day you need to earn money. And if they dont have enough time to optimize for every plattform intime they have to prioritize the biggest plattforms. Which are pc and ps. Thats all of the story.
Imagine if Sony made a console that can play every game that came out on every console (except PS Vita). It would be awesome to have ps2 games, psp games and ps5 games on one console.
@@DaysDH And about 99% of Vita games. Never used both touch screens. Might as well say not to put PS4 games on there because some of them used VR or PS3 games because some of them use PS move
@@bryjammac if ps portal had a touch screen it would be possible, yeah you will need to have original ps move with camera and original VR like on ps5 in Astros bot rescue mision VR
I believe the rpcs3 has a license that may be problematic for entities like Sony. It is GPL2, which requires making the source available for integration. In other words: if Sony inserts uses and modifies the code, they must re-release it under this open license. As they maintain IP related to PS3 hardware, it would effectively force them to make the integrated bits open source. If it were under a more liberal open licenses (eg. MIT, BSD, etc), they would plausibly build off of it.
For PS3 emulation I hope they're able to have it natively on PS6 alongside a growing selection of recertified titles for people who missed out. They already did this exact approach with PS1/PS2 titles on PS3 so I don't see why they wouldn't do it again just because their competitors don't. Nintendo never did backwards compatibility to begin with and Sony did as a way to separate themselves, eventually influencing Nintendo to do the same whenever they can. They can either have additional PS3/PS2 hardware in an optional PS6 model (like original PS3 models), or use an emulator like the PS3 slim's PS1 emulator. They can both monetize games and serve fans.
The series s is the reason why 3rd party games take forever to release underpowered low memory low ram the problem here but Xbots don’t want to believe that they rather believe what Xbox/Xbots say smh
I don't see why anyone would pitch an Ico movie/series unless they had a genuinely artistic vision, there are plenty of better-known properties if someone wanted to make a more generic Netflix-style adaptation. I would love to see Guillermo Del Toro make an Ico movie haha.
@@unicorntomboy9736 I'm from the UK but I used to play the NHL Hitz games on the PS2 which slapped. But they were more arcadey, never tried the main series.
Such A pathtic lie from Microsoft about wukong. Sony isn't shy about exclusive deals. Its not shipping on xbox its a loser console that not A lot people play in it.
ICO must be animated not life action i don't think it would work in that format, same with Shadow of Colossus and the Last Guardian if they ever get made.
I think Shadow and TLG could work live action - I mean "live-action" the same way the Lion King remake was. Obviously they are going to highly reliant on CG, but I think they could really pull it off if done right. I agree that Ico would be better as an animated feature.
The only third party I care about the most is capcom Bandai namco square enix once those are all bought from Sony I’ll move to PlayStation cause face it those are the publishers that have the best games that still Xbox hasn’t bought out I don’t think capcom or any of those publishers will sell themselves they want to make money not lose money
I feel there’s a chance that if ps3 emulation does happen, Sony could make ps3 emulation exclusive to PS5 pro if they have no other good selling points. I don’t think they would but still there’s a chance.
The only thing that gave me hope about the PS3 emulator on PS5 being good is a thing that Mark Cerny said: THe Tempest Engine is like the PS3's SPE. So if the Tempest Engine is able to act like an SPE and can run the SPE's code, then it should be very possible. And that's the thing that SONY can do that others can not: Hardware Assisted Emulation, where they put in a custom Blob that can help with emulation in that case...

Your position on sports games inclusion is asinine. The reasoning you provided can be applied to every game. For me, it’s multiplayer games that I hate seeing included. But the point of games being on PS+ is to get people to try games they may not have otherwise.
@MrMpa31 I wouldn't call it asinine. I'm sure Mystic Ryan also agrees with you on multiplayer games, he's very open about not being into multiplayer games either. I also hate multiplayer games and sports games being added to essential (extra is fine because you aren't really losing out if you aren't interested). If anything, his reasoning could be extended to multiplayer games too. Your point is valid though, one of the main uses for subscriptions is to try out games you aren't willing to drop cash on. However the main caveat with sports games in particular is that people who are interested in them probably have them already, and the number of people who are going to try out a sports game is miniscule to none. I can only speak for myself with this in particular, but I'm sure many share the sentiment. I'm not into multiplayer games, and often feel like I have a game less when they drop on essential, however there has been the rare occurrence where I dable in a multiplayer game because my friends wanted to try it out, on the sports side there hasn't been a single instance of that so I 100% have a game short when a sports game drops on essential. I am not going to try a sports game because I know with 100% certainty I will not enjoy myself. Drop the sports games on Extra, or give us a non-sports game. The same could be said for multiplayer games 100%, in that we are in agreement.
@@thealph1191 But what about the people that feel they are a game short, when a COD or fps game is included, or the others that feel they are short when there’s a souls-like, others never want to see any indie games. The point is, just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be included.
@MrMpa31 Fair point. I concede. Every type of gamer should be catered to even if that means a "bad month" (imo) every now and then. Essential has had a streak of bad months though, so seeing a sports game got me riled up more than usual, however you are correct.
So with Playstation emulation, (ps1,ps2,ps3) your best bet for PLAYING your OWN games without needing to buy them again....is to just pony up for a capable PC and use RPCS3 (Duckstation and PCSX2).Thanks for clearing that up Ryan... No greedy fucks over there on those projects trying to nickle and dime you for shit you already own.... Fuck Sony!
From what I’ve seen and heard, people are NOT excited at all for Concord. Skill Up doesn’t like it, your SpawnCast co-host SpawnWave doesn’t really feel it, penguinz0 hates it, Luke Stephens doesn’t like it, etc. I’m not excited for it either. You should be knowledgeable enough to realize that companies like IGN and GameSpot are occasionally sponsored by PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo.
@Mystic 1. NHL games are popular in Northern Europe as well. Many of the teams have at least 1 famous Scandinavian or Russian/Slavic player associated with their team (for us Flyers fans - Pelle Lindbergh) Regardless, I agree with your point. But I’ll play it since I haven’t since 2013 when Giroux was on the cover. 2. You’re going to TMG? I live 10 minutes away. See ya there if you’re around Saturday afternoon.
I never understood why not release an upgraded PS3/ Xbox 360 at the end of the 7th gen. Remember both Microsoft and Sony released the PS3 Ultra Slim and the Xbox 360 E in 2013 the same year that the Xbox One and PS4 dropped. It would have been easy at the time to overclock the CPU and GPU along with a smaller chip design to help with cooling, add quality-of-life features like larger drive support, more USB 3.0/ C support, and better case design similar to the Xbox One S with internal PSU in the case of the Xbox 360. Before anyone says that wouldn't make sense, remember that's pretty much what Microsoft did with the Xbox One S only to drop the Xbox One X a couple of years later. Plus, we see these things happen with all the other big retro consoles like the NES, SNES, and SEGA who all released multiple retro consoles. I would gladly pay $199 for a retro, PS3/ Xbox 360 with these quality-of-life changes with a simple case design like the Xbox One S. They would make money on the new consoles and still make tons on the digital titles that don't have some kind of copyright issue.
so PS portal softlocked itself. Good job Sony. 24:54 "...we remain focused on making Xbox the BEST platform for gamers and GREAT games are at the center of that. " Greatest lie ever told. Their focus is on Game Pass, and subscription money. During the recent Phil Spencer interview he said he want to build the best BUSINESS. Not GAMES.

I believe because gaming has become so public, the stuff you would had to read about in a game informer magazine has been giving to anyone with a camera and a microphone. SO alot of the secret deals you never hear about are getting out there. I don't blame Sony or Game Science, it's business at the end of the day. You got to play the game, which is why I believe Microsoft's statement eluded to it. either wau I'm on PC so I'll be enjoying it there..... So Icould care less about the Console situation, just hat to see ppl punching down to prop their brand up.
Black Myth: Wukong is one of the most anticipated games of the year. There would be advertisements everywhere about how it's a "console exclusive" for PlayStation if there was an agreement. There wasn't even a trailer in the last State of Play. It's just another Baldur's Gate 3 situation with Xbox (Series S specifically, and that's why Xbox is going next gen in 2026, earlier than expected).
This sounds right. Sony would be talking up their exclusivity if that was a thing. And nobody really talks about how much series S is a problem 4 years in to this generation.
@@eb1900 At this point we're already tired of any kind of argument so we just let it roll as open secret 😂

I don't understand this narrative that Sony would secretly be paying for exclusivity for any game. If Sony paid for exclusivity they would be shouting it from the rooftops and advertising the game as a console exclusive, like they did with FF7 Remake/Rebirth, Rise of the Ronin and Stellar Blade. In what world would they pay possibly millions of dollars for exclusivity and then just do nothing with that exclusivity?
Yeah, exactly. Exclusives (even timed exclusives) exist to drive console sales. That's always how it's been. No company hands a developer tens of millions of dollars for a game then doesn't heavily advertise it as "Only on ____"
Micropoop playing their usual slimey mindgames absolutely disgusting!!
Edit: mindgames
It was already confirmed that Sony paid backdoor deals for exclusivity.
@@OhHeyItsJessica no it wasn’t. You should stop reading conspiracy theories from Twitter and Reddit
@@OhHeyItsJessica Confirmed by trollolo from outerspace🙄😂 Girl please stop your nonsense!!
I don't think PlayStation paid for timed exclusivity and feel Xbox is just doing damage control. We're used to Xbox or should be by now how they do business and their tactics.
Lol Jez Corden is the same guy who said last year that Microsoft would never port their console exclusives months before they actually did.
He doesn’t know anything and is another in a long line of failed and unlikeable Xbox influencers, and part of the reason that brand is in the dire straights it is.
Black Myth Wukong is running into the same troubles that Baldur’s Gate 3 is, as Spender, in all his infinite wisdom, caused with his Series S strategy and parity clause.
Anyone who says Sony is paying for random timed exclusives like with this and other random ports that skip Xbox (Marvel vs. Capcom Arcade Fighting Collection) doesn’t know what they’re talking about.
The Series S parity clause, low Xbox install base, poor software sales on the platform, lack of a global presence outside of the US, years long brand damage (due to multiple reasons, one being not having a first party exclusive nominated for GotY since President Bush left office) are all much more likely contributions to why many games from different developers are skipping Xbox, rather than evil Sony/Nintendo paying for exclusivity, all while said claim lacks any evidence.
This game among many others will just be the start of Sony and Nintendo amassing a large collection of timed/permanent third party exclusives, while former third party exclusives on Xbox will vanish.
I wouldn’t be surprised if more big games like Monster Hunter Wilds is going to get delayed on Xbox as well.
FINALLY, someone is using "common sense"
Big homie that sounded good coming out but is baseless on a lot of levels. Starfield, a game that pushes the 4090 4K maxed, runs on the Series S along with some of the most demandning games out there like RDR2, Cyberpunk etc all run on the Series S. Games that are far more demanding than Larians BG3. Larian was very specific on what issues there were encountering specfically the split-screen component on the seriens S. Don't give me that game quality crap when Black Myth Wukong is shipping on PC and will be played on RX 580's and GTX 1060's. like bro you and this youtuber should do some more research. Because blaming the series S ain't the answer. Xbox is not asking for visual parity my guy, they are asking for feature parity. Visuals are not a feature, anyone who buys a Series S understands they are not buying a graphically enhanced system. and as far as that install base crap, there are still over 20 million users on the Xbox Series platforms, no indie developer unless you have been paid, can afford to simply miss out on millions of sales when you know your game is the most hyped game this year. so to my homie in the comments saying this is common sense, no this doesn't make sense which is why it is a literally a topic of dicussion. But I guess sense ain't so Common these days. and I'm not even an Xbox owner I'm on PC with gamepass but even I can tell when I see so BS like what game science is spewing.

That's what I said about Wukong. If it would really be a timed exclusive, Sony would literally flud the internet with it.
The Series S has ruined Multiplats for Microsoft this gen. What a disaster.
Concord looks fun af
MS's statement makes more sense within context of a question bringing exclusivity deals up to begin with. First they answered what's going on with Wukong with a vague non-answer, then they answered the exclusivity part separately with "we can't comment on" as a way of saying "we have no idea what Sony's deals are". Windows Central is just a fanboy-driven outlet not being upfront with their inquiry/question.
IF it was local emulation using original physical copies I'd be excited, but in all likelihood it'll be a cloud service
wouldn’t there have to be hardware in the ps5 to do that
@@ubulayne_ Some say the PS5 can read PS3 disc's. No idea if that's true.
@@byte-bg4ob i’ll put a ps3 disc in my ps5 later and tell you what it says, i’m guessing it’ll say unsupported format or wtv, bc i think ps5 discs are ultra hd blu ray, and ps3 is just normal blu ray but idk if it makes a difference
@@ubulayne_ PS4 discs are blu-rays so it should work in theory to read the disc. The main problem is that it can't read CD's (goodbye PS1) and it can read DVD's (PS2) but you can't pop the disc in to claim those games like Xbox does. More likely than not, it'll read the disc and just not do anything since Sony's strategy is to pay for the game again.
@@NrettGand goodbye to some ps2 games because some of those are CD’s too.
I hope they do some kind of PS3 emulation. Streaming a game ( for me) on ANY platform is just not good enough! It doesn't work. I have tried streaming on all modern consoles AND PC, The game doesn't matter either, it is way too laggy and hitches like crazy. like watching a video that just stutters and freezes every few seconds.
Also there is NO WAY they would allow you to put in ps3 dicks into a ps5 and let you play away. it would be more like Nintendo switch online where they have a selection for you.
Sony and there studios should really take a harder look at there old unused IP on the classics catalog. The classics catalog has so many games that are perfect for a reboot remake. For example, Syphon Filter, legend of dragoon, Wild arms, DARK CLOUD and the Mark Of Kri would all be perfect games for a remake or sequel.
The Xbox Series S is the issue. Microsoft should just drop the system.
The slow memory is the culprit.
The Xbox Series S is their best selling current gen console though. The best way to abandon it is to just launch a new product. Their next gen box needs to launch in 2026.
But they can't do that since there's more series S users than series X, Microsoft literally shoot himself on the foot.
@@immortaldragon8018 microsoft makes money out of digital purchases. not hardware. cheap console = more game sales
@@BlackSkyZ2 currently the series S it's limiting Xbox, it's the reason wukong isn't being released day 1 on Xbox and the series X users are getting screwed by that.
Microsoft f'd up because they are enforcing the parity clause and it's screwing his own users, series s user should be the one waiting not everyone.
@@immortaldragon8018 You are thinking with emotions and not business like. They make 70-80% of their money from series S users. Xbox series X users in that case will come secondary.
I don’t really care since I can just play hundreds of other games with much better graphics on my series x, if the game gets praise from others, I could buy it, after it gets released on my preferred console. Most likely the game will be bad anyways, almost no Chinese video game released in history have been good and I don’t think this one game will magically change that.
Even if Sony did pay for Wukong who cares? It's business.
The modern hardcore gamer is more petty, emotional and reactionary than ever. They take everything personally, including business matters.
That’s how I feel about MS buying large publishers..it’s just business but Sony fans don’t like it
@@MarcusM334 I remember all the whining that happened when Microsoft payed for something like a year of exclusivity for Rise of the Tomb Raider.

Jez Corden crying for Xbox again is VERY funny.
Surely the key word in their statement is "partners". They can't comment on their partners, meaning xbox partners, and how they do deals with other platforms like Sony. Going by that this statement or at least that second part of it has nothing to do with Game Science or Black Myth. But be cause the sentence is after their first part of the statement people assume they're still talking about Black Myth. Either I'm missing something or most people who have been riled up by this statement have poor reading comprehension...
EDIT:
On a side note, this could have been done intentionally to confuse readers and steer the narritave away from "xbox series s bad". Microsoft/Xbox are smart...they know what they're doing and how to mince words.
I really hope they don't completely give up on twisted metal. I have fond memories of playing twisted metal throughout my earlier gaming years, and the industry desperately needs more multiplayer vehicle combat games, ideally with couch co-op like the good ole days
They have a very succesfull TV show under their belt with a second season underway. It's crazy they aren't capitalizing on that success.
Me too! I still play the 2012 Twisted Metal game on my PS3 hoping for a new game on PS5 and hopefully a VR Twisted Metal game.
With Sony subscription service, Sony isn't that good with games on it service. But the Sales is where PS premium strives at
Long live PS2! I understand that so many gamers have fond memories of Sly Cooper and I'm happy that also new gamers are enjoying such a great classic that is as fun as any new games today.
Wukong skipping xbox at launch is because they wont get series s/x optimization ready in time. Why noone understands how much planning have to be done before releasing a game. They sceduled the release for august. In such projects one day you need to earn money. And if they dont have enough time to optimize for every plattform intime they have to prioritize the biggest plattforms. Which are pc and ps. Thats all of the story.
Sports games should always be on essential, what you talking about
So early that I got the notification as I was already watching the video.
Imagine if Sony made a console that can play every game that came out on every console (except PS Vita). It would be awesome to have ps2 games, psp games and ps5 games on one console.
Why not vita? Vita is life!
@@bryjammac vita have two touch screens
@@DaysDH And about 99% of Vita games. Never used both touch screens. Might as well say not to put PS4 games on there because some of them used VR or PS3 games because some of them use PS move
@@bryjammac if ps portal had a touch screen it would be possible, yeah you will need to have original ps move with camera and original VR like on ps5 in Astros bot rescue mision VR
Never happen, you will be better off jail breaking your ps5 so you can play all your games
MS knows that the series S is holding back the release date of wukong but obviously they have to tell a different story to the public.
out of all the live service games, Twisted Metal would have made perfect sense and i really believe it would have sold well.
Never played twisted metal but I know my father played those, probably would’ve got the late 90s-mid 2000s kids rather then most older folk tbh
I believe the rpcs3 has a license that may be problematic for entities like Sony. It is GPL2, which requires making the source available for integration. In other words: if Sony inserts uses and modifies the code, they must re-release it under this open license. As they maintain IP related to PS3 hardware, it would effectively force them to make the integrated bits open source.
If it were under a more liberal open licenses (eg. MIT, BSD, etc), they would plausibly build off of it.
I know it isn’t true but would it matter if they did buy the exclusivity, team Xbox have been conditioned to not buy games. It’s very worrying.
More like shitbox
Plus even when Xbox had really great software sales like during the 360 days, Japanese/Eastern games still performed poorly.
Stand down
For PS3 emulation I hope they're able to have it natively on PS6 alongside a growing selection of recertified titles for people who missed out. They already did this exact approach with PS1/PS2 titles on PS3 so I don't see why they wouldn't do it again just because their competitors don't. Nintendo never did backwards compatibility to begin with and Sony did as a way to separate themselves, eventually influencing Nintendo to do the same whenever they can. They can either have additional PS3/PS2 hardware in an optional PS6 model (like original PS3 models), or use an emulator like the PS3 slim's PS1 emulator. They can both monetize games and serve fans.
Ofc Concord is gonna be good. The internet just likes to hate for no reason

I think Shadow and TLG could work live action - I mean "live-action" the same way the Lion King remake was. Obviously they are going to highly reliant on CG, but I think they could really pull it off if done right. I agree that Ico would be better as an animated feature.
Seems to me Microsoft is lying about Wukong. OMG Microsoft learn to develop good games instead of lying and console war.
The only third party I care about the most is capcom Bandai namco square enix once those are all bought from Sony I’ll move to PlayStation cause face it those are the publishers that have the best games that still Xbox hasn’t bought out I don’t think capcom or any of those publishers will sell themselves they want to make money not lose money
The whole Playstation Portal is useless sony need make a new Playstation portable or something like the switch a stand alone console
I feel there’s a chance that if ps3 emulation does happen, Sony could make ps3 emulation exclusive to PS5 pro if they have no other good selling points. I don’t think they would but still there’s a chance.
The only thing that gave me hope about the PS3 emulator on PS5 being good is a thing that Mark Cerny said:
THe Tempest Engine is like the PS3's SPE.
So if the Tempest Engine is able to act like an SPE and can run the SPE's code, then it should be very possible.
And that's the thing that SONY can do that others can not: Hardware Assisted Emulation, where they put in a custom Blob that can help with emulation in that case...

Xbox Series S was a big mistake
If you want Sly 5 then this is how you show up and actually speak with your money. Good shit guys. Unfortunately it might not do anything but all you can do is speak with your wallet.
Your position on sports games inclusion is asinine. The reasoning you provided can be applied to every game. For me, it’s multiplayer games that I hate seeing included. But the point of games being on PS+ is to get people to try games they may not have otherwise.
@MrMpa31 I wouldn't call it asinine. I'm sure Mystic Ryan also agrees with you on multiplayer games, he's very open about not being into multiplayer games either.
I also hate multiplayer games and sports games being added to essential (extra is fine because you aren't really losing out if you aren't interested). If anything, his reasoning could be extended to multiplayer games too.
Your point is valid though, one of the main uses for subscriptions is to try out games you aren't willing to drop cash on. However the main caveat with sports games in particular is that people who are interested in them probably have them already, and the number of people who are going to try out a sports game is miniscule to none.
I can only speak for myself with this in particular, but I'm sure many share the sentiment. I'm not into multiplayer games, and often feel like I have a game less when they drop on essential, however there has been the rare occurrence where I dable in a multiplayer game because my friends wanted to try it out, on the sports side there hasn't been a single instance of that so I 100% have a game short when a sports game drops on essential. I am not going to try a sports game because I know with 100% certainty I will not enjoy myself.
Drop the sports games on Extra, or give us a non-sports game. The same could be said for multiplayer games 100%, in that we are in agreement.
@@thealph1191 But what about the people that feel they are a game short, when a COD or fps game is included, or the others that feel they are short when there’s a souls-like, others never want to see any indie games. The point is, just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be included.
@MrMpa31 Fair point. I concede. Every type of gamer should be catered to even if that means a "bad month" (imo) every now and then.
Essential has had a streak of bad months though, so seeing a sports game got me riled up more than usual, however you are correct.
So with Playstation emulation, (ps1,ps2,ps3) your best bet for PLAYING your OWN games without needing to buy them again....is to just pony up for a capable PC and use RPCS3 (Duckstation and PCSX2).Thanks for clearing that up Ryan... No greedy fucks over there on those projects trying to nickle and dime you for shit you already own.... Fuck Sony!
What about "Warhawk"? Any word on when "Warhawk" is coming to the PS5?

Hopefully Sly cooper’s sales prove to Sony that they should make games that aren’t realistic
Yeh, Concord could be good. If everyone would just stop bitching for a second and at least wait for the beta before they write the game off.
From what I’ve seen and heard, people are NOT excited at all for Concord. Skill Up doesn’t like it, your SpawnCast co-host SpawnWave doesn’t really feel it, penguinz0 hates it, Luke Stephens doesn’t like it, etc. I’m not excited for it either. You should be knowledgeable enough to realize that companies like IGN and GameSpot are occasionally sponsored by PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo.

2. You’re going to TMG? I live 10 minutes away. See ya there if you’re around Saturday afternoon.
I never understood why not release an upgraded PS3/ Xbox 360 at the end of the 7th gen. Remember both Microsoft and Sony released the PS3 Ultra Slim and the Xbox 360 E in 2013 the same year that the Xbox One and PS4 dropped. It would have been easy at the time to overclock the CPU and GPU along with a smaller chip design to help with cooling, add quality-of-life features like larger drive support, more USB 3.0/ C support, and better case design similar to the Xbox One S with internal PSU in the case of the Xbox 360. Before anyone says that wouldn't make sense, remember that's pretty much what Microsoft did with the Xbox One S only to drop the Xbox One X a couple of years later. Plus, we see these things happen with all the other big retro consoles like the NES, SNES, and SEGA who all released multiple retro consoles.
I would gladly pay $199 for a retro, PS3/ Xbox 360 with these quality-of-life changes with a simple case design like the Xbox One S. They would make money on the new consoles and still make tons on the digital titles that don't have some kind of copyright issue.
so PS portal softlocked itself. Good job Sony.
