More and more games going digital-only is the "you own nothing" mentality of major corporations seeping into the games industry, and there's absolutely nothing to be happy about that.
Pay more, can't borrow a game, can't re-sell, don't own it and can get desisted or store shuts in the future. Zero benefits for digital only. Just pure greed.
While not completely wrong. You should have begun your crying years ago when PC went digital only. But god forbid someone insult the name of the almighty Lord Gaben.
I disagree, as a person who had an xbox and bought only disc, you can lose that or it can break. I know you can’t refund it, but they go on sale so often that I think it’s better than having to go through all the hassle of selling a pre-owned game
*Dear Sony, can we have some kind of "What's New" feed on PS5 like we had on PS4, please?* 😔🙏 EDIT: To be clear, what I really mean is a feed on the main PS5 dashboard where we could see our friends shared screenshots, clips, trophies earned, and ours as well, and users could react to that, commenting and putting likes. Something that would make your PS5 a more social space just like PS4 was. The return of Communities would also be great.
We have an original news tab in the UK, you have to follow games, but it updates daily, sometimes multiple times, its on the XMB when you press the PS button
@@lobstrosity7163all that electricity is good for the environment!? Digital is bad for customers, physical is the best deal in gaming and preservation.
I had high confidence in FF XVI before the demo but after playing it, it blew me away! Combat is tight, story is great, well deserved Mature rating. I can't wait for next week.
I hate that they think they can do this to physical copies of games. Can't share them, can't re-sell if you don't like it, can't be a collector. It's straight trash
I’ve loved the changes. I’ve been able to play games I was too poor to afford when I was a kid (I got two games at most a year). It’s been with the price for premium, especially on the yearly price.
You do know that PS Now existed prior to the tier change, right? Having both a PS+ and PS Now subscription was like having PS+ premium. Unfortunately most PS owners had no idea what PS Now was or even existed. Because of this and the fact that XBox Game Pass was so successful, Sony restructured both services in order to re-market it to their user-base. In turn, a good chunk of the games I was enjoying on the PS Now service were being taken off in preparation of the coming PS+ tiered subscription. Though few of the games that were removed were eventually added back to the new service, the cost options we enjoyed prior to the new PS+ were no longer available. I myself purchased 3 years of PS+ and PS Now when I picked up my PS5 on launch day for a total of $180. If you do the math, it comes out to $30 for a year subscription of each service (Half price). Once the new PS+ service launched my dual subscription was converted to PS+ premium and luckily, due to the fact I had auto renew set up for both services I only have to pay $60 for Premium in November. Unfortunately next November, it looks like I’ll have to start paying the full $120 in order to keep my subscription going. The deals available for the old subscriptions haven’t been available since the change. I don’t love the changes made and I’m frustrated that most PS users like yourself have no clue that Sony bamboozled their customers once again. It’s sad that a little marketing can fool people into thinking they’re getting more when they’re just getting the same thing, but at a higher cost.
@@zaydabdulkadirActually since 2019 or so you could download games! I know you could In January 2022 cause I got a month of PS Now before you couldn’t buy it!
@@zaydabdulkadir you proved my point about most not knowing about PSNow. It did offer streaming, but it also offered hundreds of games for download much like Game Pass. A good chunk of titles available on the new service were available through PSNow before the change.
Cry me a fucking river. When Sony is making games not available on Xbox for a year+ or possibly not at all just because they have market dominance I really couldn't give a damn about Microsoft being "petty" delaying an announcement of a game coming to PlayStation (long before it even releases mind you).
That FFXVI demo is awesome. I was already excited for the game but it’s been so cool to see so many others get as excited as well! Also, you brought up that NaughtyDog got Uncharted 1, 2 and 3 all on one system and how we just won't see that again. Well may I direct you to MonolithSoft who got Xenoblade 1 remastered, Xenoblade 2 and Xenoblade 3 (with additional 15-25 hour long DLCs for 2 and 3) all on the Switch lifecycle. And Xenoblade 3 was a GOTY nominee, so it's not like they're low quality games. I just think a lot of traditional AAA studios way overblow their projects and it takes too long for their games to come out. Games do not need to take 4-6 years to make, the industry is not going to last if that keeps up.
I've never been interested in final fantasy, though the only one I ever really tried to get into was FF3 on DS. That said, I think the FF16 demo has convinced me to buy it since I have some time before Starfield and Spiderman 2 come out.

The talk about a possible FFX-3 has been a LONG time coming. Based on the non video game content such as audio drama CDs and several interviews it sounds like they have several younger staff at Square that want to make the game into reality and know exactly where to take the games story but need to do it at the right time. I have been thinking it'll be in the second half of the PS5s life cycle after 9 remake, 16 and 7 trilogy.
Say the rumoured FFX remake is true, maybe its because they want to create a cohesive experience playing X > X2 and then make X3 like how they redid last of us to make it more semless going from part 1 to part 2 😮
@@burnerburner4074 I agree with some sort of remake for FF6 but Xenogears would be almost entirely up to monoliftsoft. With the saga of Xenoblade complete tho I'm entirely open to whatever they want to try next.
So this is the 2nd time a AAA Publisheer releasing a game digital only and we are almost 3 years into 9th Gen. This might be my last generation before i am sadly done with gaming.

I am really disappointed about gaiden not being physical to the point. I'll complain about it to anyone who will listen. They did the same think yakuza 5 in the west and then fixed the problem later on with a box. This is just sad to see, I have every one of their games physical and multiple of some of them (different editions/different artwork).
If there were more content creators like Ryan and fewer ones like Colt Eastwood, Peterovo, Dreamcastguy, Snapblast, Jamie Moran, Jaydub, MBG, Fritanga, etc, gaming would actually be a hobby worth discussing.
FFX was definitely one my favorite games when I was 13 which I didn't have a awful lot growing up but it was one of the best among my collection sporting some of the most memorble of the time. It's exciting to think they could do a better remaster and then a sequel on top of that!
Square-Enix and PlayStation are a perfect fit, but i don't see Sony buying SE unless their hand is forced. Sony has made a lot of acquisitions over these past couple of years, but they still haven't offset Bethesda being taken away. If the the Activision-Blizzard-King acquisition disaster goes through, Sony would have to do drastic things, mostly to protect SE. If ABK is on the table, EVERY publisher is on the table.
You forgot one key POV: Does Square Enix WANT to be part of Sony, or anyone for that matter? And the answer is seemingly a firm NO. Square Enix seems to be doing just fine doing things the way they do them, independently, and being able to control and maintain relationships as they see fit from their end. I’m sure Sony would benefit, but for SE - what is in it for them that they do not already get? And that answer is hard to determine to what SE would benefit more from being acquired versus being independent. And from how SE operates and how they present and project themselves, they seem to really really value that independence.
@@lanceenchainte4890 on top of that there were roumors that Sony will buy Take Two and their responce was a big fat NO and secondary i dont think Sony has the money for something else other than Square
@@christonchev9762 that’s just rumors. T2 is so big at the moment, they don’t need anyone. Sony could afford almost whatever they want, but they also run a bit more conservatively to maintain proper ROI. The question isn’t “Can Sony afford it?” The question is “Can Sony Interactive Entertainment” budget it? Sony Group segregates a lot of it’s financials - they don’t use Japanese based subsidiaries to fund US based one’s, and rarely do they even let some subsidiaries fund each other at all. SEI won’t fund SIE, SIE won’t find SMC, SMC won’t fund SIME and so on and so forth.
I really find this embargo on announcement to be very annoying. All three new Atlus games are confirmed for PlayStation, yet none of the trailer of those games are on PlayStation channel or social media. Atlus West in particular is staying tight lipped about this whole thing even though Atlus Japan confirmed other platforms.
What's with Microsoft trying to get deals with atlus? They have no foothold on the Japanese market and these games sell better on PlayStation anyways. Seems like a waste of money, there are better exclusive deals they can make. 💀
Sony aren't delaying it. none of CMA's statements has anything positive for Sony. FTC is just whatever, I don't buy that they have Sony in mind. This whole thing is deeper than Sony at this point
@@putyograsseson it was the same last holiday season. 25% off. I got a year of premium for $89.99. Game Pass Ultimate is like $15 a month shich would be $180 a year.
"And though we may pledge fanboy allegiances to different flags, deep down inside we all serve one master, one king and His name is Gaming. FOREVER MAY HE REIGN!” -Kevin Butler
Why are they adding the most random ass ps1 and psp games that nobody will play, Sony should just start adding like 5 games a month from the ps1/2 classics catalog from the ps3 store and premium would be very well worth it
Hi! As a new gamer, I appreciate the Friday updates. I have a technical question about the ps5 console. If u just pause a game and put the console in rest mode, does the console continue to count the time you spent on that game, even if you are not playing? There have been times when I haven't closed a game and didn't get back to playing until days later. So, should I always close the game?
Sony and Square Enix are indeed a perfect match for partnership ever since it dates back to 1997 when FF7 was first on the PS1. But even if the Activision deal does go through, then Sony will have no choice but to protect Square and other Japanese companies from Microsoft's aggressive buyout.
@@ShinobiAssassin hey how’s Everwild looking? And Banjo and Conker and Perfect Dark and Killer Instinct and Jet Force Gemini and… Lmfao “just fine” tf outta here
That Final Fantasy X remake rumors have me both exciting and nervous. It is my favorite Final Fantasy game and had a massive impact on my personal life as it was the first time where I felt as a kid playing it back in the ps2 where everything felt “real” because how I share the same personality and story experience of Tidus and it’s inspiring me to become a scenario writer. That said if a remake does happen, only it expands the story but doesn’t change too much. However it would be weird to see them remake FF10 before finishing up the main story since FFX-3 is guaranteed to happen after FF7 Remake trilogy is done
16:09 Yeah. It's annoying that the announcement for other platforms other than Xbox came later. I guess the point is to annoy people enough so that they talk about it. Still doesn't convince me to get an Xbox.
Damn I expected you to mention the PlayStation UK account listing Coded Soul (PSP) for Premium and then deleting it. I imagine that since the game is not localized they might actually include it in Japan.
I couldn't care less about the subscription service. Physical media is the best deal in gaming. Also, VR had some major announcements, this past week. So many great games to play!
That thing xbox pulled was so scummy. During the PS showcase they were tweeting every reveal like "look we have this game too" stealing playstation's thunder but for their own show they put 2 days of ambargo on the games they've shown!? Just to create an artificial narative that they're exclusive to them.
There’s almost nothing more petty than Microsoft embargoing the announcement of other versions of games showcased at their shows. And then they have the gall to put out a post after the PlayStation showcase “all the games announced by Sony also coming to Xbox” 🙄 when most games aren’t exclusives at both of these shows.
Mystic please reveal any details if you find out in a future show for Little Devil Inside. Ugh i want that game so much. It seemingly has evaporated into thin air. Its so odd
*Hi I just bought my PS5 yesterday and loving play FF7R on performance mode.* *But my QUESTION is why can’t I use my save file from Hades (PS4) on the PS5 free update on the game.* 🤦🏽♂️
I have no issues with games taking longer to make, just don’t reveal them too early. Wait until you’re a good bit into development and not at the concept stage.
Yeah it's interesting the demo is kind of like play the first 3 hours a weekend early. I mean I can only play at weekends most of the time anyway. But if it was the full release last weekend I definitely would have played way more than 3 hours. Probably would have played it all weekend so it did break up the pacing alot. So maybe I was better off not playing the demo to experience the story in one large chunk rather than segmented. But people play games differently. For people who only play games for at most 3 hours at a time the demo worked out perfectly.
@@DaRkLoRd-rc5yu I already had the game pre-ordered so I only played long enough to get an idea of it was worth doing that or not, despite the Performance Mode hiccups (which didn't bother me), I didn't regret my choice and was happy with stopping right there and wait for the big release. For me I work 3 days a week, broken up into Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. So for me it's also a bit dodgy because my job is physically intensive so I often try to focus on story heavy games on my days off, but if I'm feeling good enough, I'll play after work once I've had time to relax my back. For this occasion though I put time off for Friday hehe, don't want that to break up my Thursday-Saturday gameplay. So yeah you and I understand each other. And indeed, perfect for those with that schedule, then they can begin where they left off at launch, and that'll be the game for them for a loooong time.
Need to know when next state of play will be. So many games slated for 2023 w no release dates. This is always so anxiety inducing. Just tell me!!! Stellarblade, lost souls aside, project dt, project m
i am so glad that i got my PSVR2 Mystic bro Hell Yeah and i can finally play Resident Evil Village in VR too now and still waiting for Resident Evil 4 Remake to come out on VR Mode bro
Are we ever gonna reach a point where it takes a minimum of 6 years to develop a game?! Surely, there must be a way to develop it while cutting some of that time.
Aiming for a high Metacritic score is silly because most game review outlets follow what the growd expects (hype status and how the studio treats the outlet on a personal level) and have a very casual taste, so to reach a maximal score will likely skew your take on the game, which can limit your creative freedom. I just don't see any motivation for such other than the studio wanting more money from the publisher, but I'd say other types of goals for bonuses make much more sense like the sales goals, which you will reach in time when people realize the game is good, no matter what the meta score says.
I hope we grab square enix and keep FF a Sony exclusive only!! Since sh**Box wants to do the same with COD and other things they never made themselves!
@@ThomastheDankEngine8900 Just like Sony is doing. Sony is buying games that it hasn't developed and which aren't even its own IP. But...let me guess...its only bad when MS makes its 1st party titles exclusive? Sony is justified in locking out 3rd party from XBox but heaven forbid MS wants its 1st party studios to develop games for XBox. That's bad.
Sony please please let us keep the games we get from ps plus extra and premium it's not fair that we get only a couple of months and it's locked from us forever.
Hello Everyone, if they don't issue a copy of any game, I will probably not be buying those games. They think this is helpful when in reality it is not!
The Uncharted ride is at PortAventura in Salou Spain, I was there 6 years ago, it’s a class place to be, would love to go back sometime since they got the Uncharted ride and the new Ferrari land
What I’m curious about is if Microsoft made a clear stance on games from their acquired studios, like Bethesda? I keep hearing that Starfield will be Xbox/PC exclusive, which disappoints me since I was hoping to see it on the PlayStation.
The persona announcement embargoes is especially infuriating since Persona exploded in popularity thanks to Vita and PS4 with P4Golden and P5 . Xbox is lucky persona isn’t an exclusive
would be funny to put fuel to the fire and Sony dumps some money at atlus to make those games a temp exclusive for like 6 months after all the advertising was first made and forced to be only on the xbox side of things
You missed the opportunity to discuss the potential connections between the PS5 game streaming and Project Q (the streaming only handheld that was recently announced). My prediction: Project Q will initially stream from your personal PS5, but in the near future, it will expand to streaming directly from this Sony Cloud that they announced.
I find the Triple AAA games statement to be a lie. What about Madden NFL games, NBA 2K Games, WWE 2K Games, Fifa Games, NHL 2K Games, and the Call Of Duty Games?
When are Sony going to realise that players do not want to stream, they want to download them? It’s piece of mind knowing you don’t have to rely on your internet having an outage.
The way Microsoft behaves is so pathetic. They have their stupid platform announcement embargoes and still right a pathetic twitter post saying that these games are also coming to Xbox. Microsoft are actively targeting PlayStation series like Yakuza and Persona to announce and have the public unsure if the games will come to PS5. They even comment how games should be on as many platforms as possible even though it's in their power not to cancel the PS5 version of Starfield and make hellblade 2 exclusive.
More and more games going digital-only is the "you own nothing" mentality of major corporations seeping into the games industry, and there's absolutely nothing to be happy about that.

It's Bethesda so yeaaaa. Expect bugs up the ass
FFX was definitely one my favorite games when I was 13 which I didn't have a awful lot growing up but it was one of the best among my collection sporting some of the most memorble of the time. It's exciting to think they could do a better remaster and then a sequel on top of that!
Haven't AAA games taken 4-6 years for like 15 years now? I feel like this has been the standard for a long time.
As usual, it's great to hear about the important news and commentary.
I gotta say, that shirt is really, really cool.
Square-Enix and PlayStation are a perfect fit, but i don't see Sony buying SE unless their hand is forced. Sony has made a lot of acquisitions over these past couple of years, but they still haven't offset Bethesda being taken away. If the the Activision-Blizzard-King acquisition disaster goes through, Sony would have to do drastic things, mostly to protect SE. If ABK is on the table, EVERY publisher is on the table.
Fortunately Japanese law prevents american companies from buying Japanese companies so Square Enix is safe.
Have Sony buy Square Enix so Micro$oft’s dirty hands can’t touch them.
You forgot one key POV: Does Square Enix WANT to be part of Sony, or anyone for that matter?
And the answer is seemingly a firm NO. Square Enix seems to be doing just fine doing things the way they do them, independently, and being able to control and maintain relationships as they see fit from their end. I’m sure Sony would benefit, but for SE - what is in it for them that they do not already get?
And that answer is hard to determine to what SE would benefit more from being acquired versus being independent. And from how SE operates and how they present and project themselves, they seem to really really value that independence.
@@lanceenchainte4890 on top of that there were roumors that Sony will buy Take Two and their responce was a big fat NO and secondary i dont think Sony has the money for something else other than Square
@@christonchev9762 that’s just rumors. T2 is so big at the moment, they don’t need anyone.
Sony could afford almost whatever they want, but they also run a bit more conservatively to maintain proper ROI.
The question isn’t “Can Sony afford it?” The question is “Can Sony Interactive Entertainment” budget it? Sony Group segregates a lot of it’s financials - they don’t use Japanese based subsidiaries to fund US based one’s, and rarely do they even let some subsidiaries fund each other at all. SEI won’t fund SIE, SIE won’t find SMC, SMC won’t fund SIME and so on and so forth.
Add Team buddies to PS classic! Better yet remake it with multiplayer online
I really find this embargo on announcement to be very annoying. All three new Atlus games are confirmed for PlayStation, yet none of the trailer of those games are on PlayStation channel or social media. Atlus West in particular is staying tight lipped about this whole thing even though Atlus Japan confirmed other platforms.
What's with Microsoft trying to get deals with atlus? They have no foothold on the Japanese market and these games sell better on PlayStation anyways. Seems like a waste of money, there are better exclusive deals they can make. 💀
Sega is the only Japanese publisher to give a damn about Xbox
Im not an xbox fan but seeing how sony is delaying the activision acquisition, I feel this is the least microsoft could do for sony :p
Sony aren't delaying it. none of CMA's statements has anything positive for Sony. FTC is just whatever, I don't buy that they have Sony in mind. This whole thing is deeper than Sony at this point
@@Shadowespeon17 are you really not aware how hard sony is pushing this to not go through?
Correction:
There is an Uncharted rollercoaster in PortAventura World in Spain.
The Last of Us will be in Universal Studios Orlando and Hollywood.
PS Plus extra is a great value especially if you sign up during their holiday discount period that i'm sure they'll do again this season.
is the holidays discount even bigger than the recent days of play discount ?
@@putyograsseson pretty much the same
@@putyograsseson it was the same last holiday season. 25% off. I got a year of premium for $89.99. Game Pass Ultimate is like $15 a month shich would be $180 a year.
I got it on black friday €75 for a Year worth of Premium. GREAT Value 🤩
I feel like i have more games then i have time to play them. It’s a great deal, i really hope they will keep doing it like this, and for this price😊
I too am looking forward to City Skylines 2. I would LOVE IT if they decided to give console users keyboard and mouse inputs.

Why are they adding the most random ass ps1 and psp games that nobody will play, Sony should just start adding like 5 games a month from the ps1/2 classics catalog from the ps3 store and premium would be very well worth it
No physical no buy
Hi! As a new gamer, I appreciate the Friday updates. I have a technical question about the ps5 console. If u just pause a game and put the console in rest mode, does the console continue to count the time you spent on that game, even if you are not playing? There have been times when I haven't closed a game and didn't get back to playing until days later. So, should I always close the game?
Sony and Square Enix are indeed a perfect match for partnership ever since it dates back to 1997 when FF7 was first on the PS1. But even if the Activision deal does go through, then Sony will have no choice but to protect Square and other Japanese companies from Microsoft's aggressive buyout.
Lol
True, Sony needs to be the savior to these companies and protect them from being ruined by Microsoft, like Rare, Lionhead, Halo, and Scalebound were
@@ThomastheDankEngine8900 rare is doing just fine btw

That Final Fantasy X remake rumors have me both exciting and nervous. It is my favorite Final Fantasy game and had a massive impact on my personal life as it was the first time where I felt as a kid playing it back in the ps2 where everything felt “real” because how I share the same personality and story experience of Tidus and it’s inspiring me to become a scenario writer. That said if a remake does happen, only it expands the story but doesn’t change too much. However it would be weird to see them remake FF10 before finishing up the main story since FFX-3 is guaranteed to happen after FF7 Remake trilogy is done
16:09 Yeah. It's annoying that the announcement for other platforms other than Xbox came later. I guess the point is to annoy people enough so that they talk about it. Still doesn't convince me to get an Xbox.
Cloud Gaming sucks.
We can all agree on that
Amen
That’s the future Microsoft wants. And gamers are eating that shit up
@@naterod Microsoft will fail. And Xbox will die if they're going all Cloud.
unfortunately it's the future
Persona 5 Tactica for PS5 is already for pre-order at Amazon Japan
Damn I expected you to mention the PlayStation UK account listing Coded Soul (PSP) for Premium and then deleting it. I imagine that since the game is not localized they might actually include it in Japan.
I couldn't care less about the subscription service. Physical media is the best deal in gaming. Also, VR had some major announcements, this past week. So many great games to play!
That thing xbox pulled was so scummy. During the PS showcase they were tweeting every reveal like "look we have this game too" stealing playstation's thunder but for their own show they put 2 days of ambargo on the games they've shown!? Just to create an artificial narative that they're exclusive to them.
Microsoft have such a loser mentality
Yeah how about that FF7R or Hogwarts deal by Sony ?
@@mikeclark4480 Sony outright blocked Xbox and Nintendo's marketing? Since when? Because apparently only Microsoft did that
Sony does way worse
@@shadowthehedgehog181Xbox was not allowed to advertise Hogwarts at all till the game released
You’re the number one play station channel
There’s almost nothing more petty than Microsoft embargoing the announcement of other versions of games showcased at their shows. And then they have the gall to put out a post after the PlayStation showcase “all the games announced by Sony also coming to Xbox” 🙄 when most games aren’t exclusives at both of these shows.
Mystic please reveal any details if you find out in a future show for Little Devil Inside. Ugh i want that game so much. It seemingly has evaporated into thin air. Its so odd
*Hi I just bought my PS5 yesterday and loving play FF7R on performance mode.*
*But my QUESTION is why can’t I use my save file from Hades (PS4) on the PS5 free update on the game.* 🤦🏽♂️
I have no issues with games taking longer to make, just don’t reveal them too early. Wait until you’re a good bit into development and not at the concept stage.
Can we get killzone 2 and 3 back on
*I won't be buying any game that doesnt have a offical disc release.*
When I tried the demo of FF16, I loved it. I quit early so I could re-experience what I went through in the proper final release.
But you don't need to, you can continue your progress in the full game.
@@dapperfan44 But I don't want to do that. I wanna play it from the start when it launches.
Yeah it's interesting the demo is kind of like play the first 3 hours a weekend early.
I mean I can only play at weekends most of the time anyway. But if it was the full release last weekend I definitely would have played way more than 3 hours. Probably would have played it all weekend so it did break up the pacing alot. So maybe I was better off not playing the demo to experience the story in one large chunk rather than segmented.
But people play games differently. For people who only play games for at most 3 hours at a time the demo worked out perfectly.
@@DaRkLoRd-rc5yu I already had the game pre-ordered so I only played long enough to get an idea of it was worth doing that or not, despite the Performance Mode hiccups (which didn't bother me), I didn't regret my choice and was happy with stopping right there and wait for the big release.
For me I work 3 days a week, broken up into Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. So for me it's also a bit dodgy because my job is physically intensive so I often try to focus on story heavy games on my days off, but if I'm feeling good enough, I'll play after work once I've had time to relax my back. For this occasion though I put time off for Friday hehe, don't want that to break up my Thursday-Saturday gameplay.
So yeah you and I understand each other. And indeed, perfect for those with that schedule, then they can begin where they left off at launch, and that'll be the game for them for a loooong time.
Need to know when next state of play will be. So many games slated for 2023 w no release dates. This is always so anxiety inducing. Just tell me!!! Stellarblade, lost souls aside, project dt, project m
Thanks for this weeks update Ryan.
God I love looking forward to LTP with my man Mystic
i am so glad that i got my PSVR2 Mystic bro Hell Yeah and i can finally play Resident Evil Village in VR too now and still waiting for Resident Evil 4 Remake to come out on VR Mode bro

21:21 Let's talk Xbox......uh Playstation? Why show clips of games we aren't getting.
you filled up my Saturday morning with a coffee nicely! many thanks for effort and video!
Are we ever gonna reach a point where it takes a minimum of 6 years to develop a game?! Surely, there must be a way to develop it while cutting some of that time.
Chatgpt
Aiming for a high Metacritic score is silly because most game review outlets follow what the growd expects (hype status and how the studio treats the outlet on a personal level) and have a very casual taste, so to reach a maximal score will likely skew your take on the game, which can limit your creative freedom. I just don't see any motivation for such other than the studio wanting more money from the publisher, but I'd say other types of goals for bonuses make much more sense like the sales goals, which you will reach in time when people realize the game is good, no matter what the meta score says.
PS Plus is getting better and better! 😎👍✨
I hope we grab square enix and keep FF a Sony exclusive only!! Since sh**Box wants to do the same with COD and other things they never made themselves!
The problem I have with Xbox is that they want to buy their gaming library rather than create it.
@@ThomastheDankEngine8900 Just like Sony is doing.
Sony is buying games that it hasn't developed and which aren't even its own IP. But...let me guess...its only bad when MS makes its 1st party titles exclusive? Sony is justified in locking out 3rd party from XBox but heaven forbid MS wants its 1st party studios to develop games for XBox. That's bad.
Yes, more info about PSVR2.
Can’t believe its been 10 years since the last of us. I was so in love playing this game who would have thought they would make a tv show on it
Sony please please let us keep the games we get from ps plus extra and premium it's not fair that we get only a couple of months and it's locked from us forever.
Its not in Sony's hands how long these licenses last.
Love watching these videos every Friday!
I wouldn't be too annoyed if games came out digital first and physical later. But I am very annoyed with games being solely digital on consoles.
Mystics fav game is Peppa Pig fr
Great episode this week. Lots of topics to discuss! Well done as always sir!
Hello Everyone, if they don't issue a copy of any game, I will probably not be buying those games. They think this is helpful when in reality it is not!
The Uncharted ride is at PortAventura in Salou Spain, I was there 6 years ago, it’s a class place to be, would love to go back sometime since they got the Uncharted ride and the new Ferrari land
Always enjoy your videos, even though I mostly play on XBox; and, the comments everyone seems so positive.
Keep doing your thing man
What I’m curious about is if Microsoft made a clear stance on games from their acquired studios, like Bethesda? I keep hearing that Starfield will be Xbox/PC exclusive, which disappoints me since I was hoping to see it on the PlayStation.
That Gen 3 shirt.....👌
The persona announcement embargoes is especially infuriating since Persona exploded in popularity thanks to Vita and PS4 with P4Golden and P5 . Xbox is lucky persona isn’t an exclusive
xbox have exclusivity too advertising lol, they just want people too buy their console, sorry but ps5 is too good too not have
We already got the june extra games at the beginning of the month. I'm waiting for the july lineup
would be funny to put fuel to the fire and Sony dumps some money at atlus to make those games a temp exclusive for like 6 months after all the advertising was first made and forced to be only on the xbox side of things
You missed the opportunity to discuss the potential connections between the PS5 game streaming and Project Q (the streaming only handheld that was recently announced).
My prediction: Project Q will initially stream from your personal PS5, but in the near future, it will expand to streaming directly from this Sony Cloud that they announced.
Wish they could add Bakugan battle brawlers from the ps2 to premium
If you’re gonna download far cry 6, be aware there’s screen tearing. It usually happens when driving a vehicle or a horse is what I’ve noticed.
Sony jut keeps on drip feeding fans of Playstation 1 to 3...
I find the Triple AAA games statement to be a lie.
What about Madden NFL games, NBA 2K Games, WWE 2K Games, Fifa Games, NHL 2K Games, and the Call Of Duty Games?
I can't wait until next year for Persona 3 reload!
all i need are themes 🥺
When are Sony going to realise that players do not want to stream, they want to download them? It’s piece of mind knowing you don’t have to rely on your internet having an outage.
The way Microsoft behaves is so pathetic. They have their stupid platform announcement embargoes and still right a pathetic twitter post saying that these games are also coming to Xbox. Microsoft are actively targeting PlayStation series like Yakuza and Persona to announce and have the public unsure if the games will come to PS5. They even comment how games should be on as many platforms as possible even though it's in their power not to cancel the PS5 version of Starfield and make hellblade 2 exclusive.
Hypocritical and pathetic considering how they talk endlessly bout play on which ever platform u want yet they place embargo’s on multiplats
