@Sanquine By that I meant those that all of sudden have given up on sony and saying they have lost faith and will move on from the console maker, there was quite a few last night commenting that on pushsquare.

It was pretty bad for first party content especially after 18 months of no showcases but overall with the great looking indies, excellent spiderman 2 and hell divers 2 gameplay trailers, and the multitude of great third party titles, it wasn't a bad show by any means. But the Internet and fake fans like to over react by saying it was a s**t show etc.
Which I think is especially unfair on those indie devs who worked hard on those games just to look at the fans backlash and make them feel crappy about their games like they aren't good enough.

Damn that's not good, I've got the game coming today from my rental subscription so il still give it a go but this worse than what I was expecting, I knew it wouldn't be great maybe a 6 or 7 but for it to be given a 2/10 makes it the worse game this year surely.

@TakeItEasy PlayStation first party showing was poor yes, but calling the third party offerings average is a bit extreme.

@Sol4ris Pretty sure in the trailer you see the character touch the pawn stone.

Bunjie are one of the best at making shooters and great gameplay, so im actually quite hyped for this.

This was the highlight of the show for me, looks amazing and can't wait to play it.

Also it looks way ahead in development than I thought it would be, maybe just maybe a 2024 release.

Those were definitely not the games I was expecting to be in the cute category.

By momentum they don't mean sales, they most likely mean how much people talk about a brand via word of mouth, social media, twitch, youtube, Google searches etc

I think once the ABK deal passes then xbox will surely increase their momentum, even some actual great advertising would do it as well.

I know it's not in June but I'd reccomend people to watch the PlayStation showcase as well, not for the exclusives but for the third party multiplatform games that get announced, there's always a few. It's rumoured assassins creed mirage will be there.

What well known developers are there that are not in the usual European/American and Asian areas.

Funny how well and quick they can handle a huge IP yet Beyond Good and Evil 2 has been in development since 2016.....

Imagine after all these rumours and reports, it doesn't even exist 😅

There's a lot of remakes and ports on that list so I wouldn't say its a good list. The list should look much better after the next 6 months with some more xbox first party games up there, maybe.

I think the closest game to it has to be Immortals Fenyx rising, a very good game as well.

@SplooshDmg it's a switch, you should of brought it with you 😜

Those against these upgrades saying you hope not shouldn't care anyway as you aren't being forced to buy one. There won't be any exclusive games for those systems so you can carry on with your Series S/X without worrying.

I'm so chuffed to see Telltale back making games, Ive played all their previous games and enjoyed them all so I'm hoping this does well.

Personally I would judge a price tag by the content the game has to offer. I would gladly pay £70 for Zelda TOTK, HZD, God of war Ragnarok, Elden Ring, FH5, Hogwarts Legacy etc. But no way in hell am I paying that for games like Redfall, Cyberpunk 2077, Fifa, Soul Hackers, and any other games that are lacking in content, buggy, perform like crap and missing features.

If Devs want me to pay £70 then they must make sure they have made a quality finished product on release, show they have put some care into their creation before asking money for it.

So the only thing that was worthy of calling this game Overwatch 2 has gone, so basically this is just Overwatch 1.1 which they did just to get more money from people via battle passes. What a way to ruin one of my favourite multiplayer games from last gen, the sole reason I was excited for overwatch 2 was those promised PvE missions, Maybe we will see them in Overwatch 3 where they charge £70 for the base game and still include battle passes.

@Bleachedsmiles Its the other way round, Stray released on playstation plus extra/premium.

Forget MMO's, bring back the battle for middle earth.

@DreamlandGem Thank you for the heads up and I will take your advice and put him on ignore as I do feel like I'm being targeted by him no matter what I put on here. Sorry for any problems caused to you or any other users.

@Widey85 Yeah I do see streaming as the main way to game in 20 years time, but some work is needed. For all the flak Google stadia got I do give them credit as their servers were pretty good, they could run 4k streaming and even on mobile it was 1080p and ran perfectly on 50mps for me whilst xcloud is only 720p on mobile and 1080 on PC.

My main concern is Bluetooth controllers and headphones as I've noticed audio delay and controller lag on both stadia and xcloud with those connected via Bluetooth

So Microsoft would have control of the cloud streaming market and with that control they will bring Activision games to more subscription services which is a very positive thing, but at the same time with that control they can restrict who gets those deals in the future and may decide not continue with deals after they've ended meaning Microsoft could have complete dominance over the streaming market at the click of a finger.

So it ends up being a positive and a negative so I can see why different decisions are being made.

@Widey85 I see, so if Microsoft were ever to not release new games on playstation consoles in the future I'd suspect playstation would go all out on cloud gaming to make sure they give their players access to those new games still. Might be the kick up the A**e sony need to put some effort into the streaming scene.

So if Sony makes a cloud version of playstation plus then Microsoft can't not put it on?

@Snake_V5 That's far from the truth. The CMA are nothing alone vs the other 13 regulators if they all approve.

So what does this mean if the FTC and CMA continue to block?

I'm more surprised it took the switch that long considering how many units it's now sold. Just shows great software can turn things around and give a console a massive boost in sales.

On PS5 i will most likely be giving God of War Ragnarok a break for a little bit for reasons below, if I do jump on playstation I will most likely be playing YS 8 lacrimosa of Dana as I'm close to finishing it.

On Switch its going to be a weekend of Zelda TOTK, il be seeing how far I can go in the first chasm with 4 hearts.

And on Xbox I started Ravenlok last night so I may continue with that for an hour on the night.

@Razputinman sorry haha, wait until you get to the ground level though, the game opens up so much you're going to have a blast. Hope you enjoy it. 👍

@ZYDIO Yeah I agree about covid, that has obviously put devs 1-2 years behind schedule and why there's so many unpolished games now than there has ever been.

@Razputinman That first sky island is huuuge for a beginner area. How did you get on fighting that flux construct (if you did).

@SplooshDmg Yep, ive been playing since yesterday and I haven't noticed any problems and 30fps when done right is perfectly playable, mostly unnoticeable.

@Kaloudz Exactly, two bad games and everyone thinks they can't make games properly although I do admit they are rubbish at managing their studios in terms of having development problems and getting releases out consistently, but not in terms of final quality, there's also people that tally up all the third party game pass flops such as Scorn and High on Life and blame Xbox for those too. You have too feel for Xbox right now as no matter what they do they will get hate for it, Starfield could end up being a 8/10 or 9/10 and it still wouldn't be good enough if its not game of the year.

@Chaotic_Neutral Look at the console specs and you will understand why the switch can't do more than 30fps on bigger games. But the Xbox series X is the most powerful console around so there's no excuse. Although I think Redfall would of done fine at 30fps as its not a major flaw but the flak its getting is for other reasons.

@Magabro Phil isn't one of the ones congratulating zelda though....

Hopefully these guys get to play the game as well as its such a good game.

If anyone's interested then give this a watch as it shows a lot about what the game offers.

The game looks absolutely hectic in a good way, I will definitely be getting this.

The games metacritic put me off playing this, but reading the comments on here makes me think I'm missing out. So I think I will give the game a try this weekend.

Seeing Gearbox Software on that list is giving me hope that Borderlands 4 is going to get revealed. Hopefully Namco show some more SynDuality as well.

@Sakai You will enjoy it mate, been playing it today and it's been very good so far. Had to put God of War Ragnarok on hold for now.

Well Zelda has set the bar high, it's the highest rated game ever on open critic and currently a 96 on metacritic with more reviews getting added so could end up higher. I don't think other game developers and their fans should be looking at zelda as a benchmark to reach as straight away they are setting themselves up for disappointment. As long as Starfield isn't a buggy mess, look great and has that trademark skyrim/fallout formula then it will be very successful, I fully expect it to rate between 80-90 on metacritic which I think is acceptable to everyone.

Starfield not being game of the year does not mean failure.

I may jump back into this game soon, I like the idea of trying this in handheld. Hopefully I can tweak the settings so I don't have to worry too much about looking after the survivors back at camp and an auto aim option as its hard to aim on the backbone one.

@somnambulance I think the deal will be approved in the EU, I think the CMA just wanted to be "that" one to think they are higher than the big corporations, they've done it with a few other big boys and came out on top but this time they will be pressured by the FTC and EU passing the deal.

In terms of their vintage titles I hope they can revive Prototype and True Crime, and maybe bring back skylanders but without the toy B.S.
Hopefully they don't go down the route of just making multiplayer online games and filling every game with MTX.

Don't jinx it, you literally posted a similar article about the CMA lol.

@Deshalu erm ok....

How is that relevant to my comment.
