        There are currently only 3 games that I am willing to buy on PS5 (mainly because I want them physical):

          Another Code never launched in the US, and that ended up killing the developer of the series, this is a good example of a remake/re-release, it's getting a second chance.
          Luigi's Mansion 2 and Mario V Donkey Kong are completely pointless, Paper Mario may end up changing the future of the series if it sells well, so I actually think that's a good thing.
          Remakes aren't inherently bad, it's just when they are lazy or pointless.

          Forgot to mention, I honestly don't have a problem with remakes if it's actually appropriate.
          Last of Us does NOT need a fucking remake/remaster/refuckshitwhateverthefuck
          System Shock 1 needed a fucking remake, even if the OG was fun to play. Back then patches were not as constant. You didn't open a launcher and get an instant patch. You had to go FIND that shit nigga. So remaking it with modern GRAFIXXXX as well as fixing bugs that were on release is something worthwhile. I say if it was made before 2001, it's fair game for a remake. Anything after that would seriously be doubtful if it needed a remake unless it's one of those games (Dragon's Dogma) that are just riddled with cut content.

          Last of Us was remade because they were effectively able to develop 1.5 games and release 2, I still don't care for it.
          System Shock didn't need a remake, but if it was going to get one they should have made it good, oh well.

            What issues did you have with it? I didn't like that they took away the free-aim but besides that and the dumb kickstarter audio logs it seemed pretty faithful to what I had played of the OG (I only got up to just before doing the groves in the OG. Lost save data and didn't feel like restarting).

        I dont know about xbox but switch will be 7 years in 2024 and it just released a mainline 2D mario platformer and allegedly has metroid prime 4 in the works (which probably has been pushed to switch 2). In any case, nintendo mostly announces stuff when it's close to release, besides Zelda and metroid that is. It's weird that sony has not said much about exclusives on ps5's 3rd year and it's not like it blew its load on its first or second year. It should be on its prime. Very concerning.

          The first Spider-Man game was pretty good too I gave it an 8.5/10 but I never played the PS4 version, only the PS5 version remastered with DLC's.
          Spider-Man 2 is even better than the first game, I'm loving it so far. The web swinging assist can be turned off and there's fall damage. The combat also feels way better. If you played the game on easy mode then that's your problem.

      PS5 will be 4 four years old soon. It has no real exclusives because lets it face it, shit like SM2 will get ported to PC like RNC and Gow 2018 did. Ragnarok was on PS4 and DeS is a remake of a PS3 exclusive.

      It really is fucking crazy how Sony seemingly has NOTHING in the pipeline for next year from its own studios, having to once again resort to paid temp exclusivity to pad out their lineup. The PlayStation brand isn't going to coast off the Xbox One debacle forever.

          PS3 still had some good gaems. MGS4, Resistance 2, Killzone 2, Infamous were all great vidya that did some really cool things. I loved the cover system in KZ2 and how weighty the movement felt. MP being a fucking TF2-lite mixed with COD was so fucking God damn cool and fun holy FUCK we need another one like that. Resistance 2 was fun since you had the MP with aliens vs humans and the kinda of unjustifiably hard CO-OP mode. Online also being free for the last fucking time, comfy XMB UI, the capability to become a breddy nice media server if you set it up right. Fucking PS2 backwards compatibility if you scored one of the older phat models for cheap. PS3 was the last real fucking console but it wasn't going to succeed because the tides were already shifting at that time.

        PS3 had really strong great first party support. People act like 360 was far and away ahead by that gen, but even as early as 2008, Sony had edged ahead, and by the time Kinect released, 360's first party had fallen straight off a cliff.

        You had Motorstorm, Wipeout, LBP, Killzone, Resistance, actually good God of War, Demon's Souls and other unique titles from Japan Studio, R&C, MGS4, Uncharted, TLoU, Infamous, Everybody's Golf, 3D Dot Game Heroes, Yakuza, Persona, Gravity Rush, Dragon's Crown, Gran Turismo, Valkyria Chronicles, Housemarque's arcadey titles like SSHD/Dead Nation/Resogun, Nier, Disgaea, Odin Sphere, Atelier, and Puppeteer.

        After PS3, Sony transitioned to mostly movie games, but not good writing and interesting stories, but also by dumbing down gameplay and incorporating nonstop walkie talkie sections.

      It's more just showing there is a lot of strife at Sony

      It's mostly the realisation that Sony's after spending a shitload of money and time on a new direction that no one wanted to follow and that they tasked almost all their studios on. Various sources said Sony even had Santa Monica, Insomniac and Sucker Punch on GAAS projects that were incubation with the view to going full production (And Sucker Punch's case. It might have actually made full production). While Jim Ryan is leaving and reportedly Sony studios are not happy with the GAAS push. They can't just throw away years of time and money invested in the GAAS push as the alternative is canning all those projects, then being left in a first party hole till 2028 when it would take time to spin up the same AAA single player games again. The only SP games we know that are in production at Sony are Wolverine (Which is probably 2025/26 at this point), Horizon 3 (estimated around 2027) and Naughty Dog's new Single player game (Which is a 2027/28 project)

      So we have this weird defence force of Sony on how great it is that Sony studios don't want to work on GAAS games while also defending Sony from criticism they took this path in the first place.

          Hulst is apparently part of the reason why there's GAAS push in the first place. So even if a new CEO came in, the new CEO would have to convince the other C-Suite execs to divest out of GAAS. But considering that's still around 10-12 projects and we only know that one project, TLOU Factions has been essentially canned. That's still a huge chunk of Sony first party projects. Getting rid of Japan studio and letting the developers go to Nintendo and most of the execs who ran their XDEV to Microsoft will really bite their ass in the long run.

              PS1 was *the* movieshit console with its discs for long cutscenes and bloated 3D games. But gameplay peaked in 7th gen, where cinematic used to mean high production values and polished mixed with top notch, refined gameplay; now, it just means handholdy and dumbed down. Look at trophy lists from PS3 to PS5 for example, Sony is afraid to have even a slightly difficult trophy since it might hurt someone's feelings or be ableist, while PS3 trophies were actually tough instead of just being skinner box checklists

                2D gameplay peaked in gen 3/4, 3D gameplay peaked in gen 6/7.

                After PS3, Sony transitioned to mostly movie games, but not good writing and interesting stories, but by dumbing down gameplay and incorporating nonstop walkie talkie sections.

                It's matter of genre and pacing. Story is a big part jrpgs and wrpgs, and if it sucks then the game suffers greatly compared to a game like mario.

                Thing is you're purposefully need to do the story missions in these games so that means you're willfully choosing the story sections instead of the other sections which have no such cutscenes and effectively complaining the story missions have....story. Your point is hollow, you can't complain about story missions when you're ignoring the rest of the game.

    How can anyone be an unironic snoy at this point? Their first party games try so hard to be movies, but are filled with woke shit, terrible writing, and dialogue. For god's sake Spiderman 2 still is has with forced walk and talk sections. Haven't they figured out people hate that shit by now? I guess not since they added more mj stealth sections and made her even uglier. These 'people' really hate their audience

      I saw this homosexual's review, and while I would never recommend his content because it loves to parrot the usual Gankerpol/ conspiracy shit, his review brings up such a good point about the game.

      The combat isn't really good at making you feel like Spider-Man. I know that's the meme phrase, but it makes sense. People love to compare the combat to Arkham combat, but Rocksteady fucking had a good formula for what it looks like to control Batman in combat. Arkham's counter-based gameplay with quickshot tools was pretty much perfect for the character.

      In SM2, Peter hardly feels like he's strong. The enemies have way too much health and the only thing that feels like Spider-Man is when you web up enemies and attach them to walls, which is what I found myself wanting to do most of the time. There are hardly any abilities that involve webbing up enemies and using your web in creative ways, but instead there are crowd-clearing super moves and gadgets and most of them have a similar effect. It's so much more apparent that Peter/Miles need to have their strikes feel more powerful when you have MJ just tasing everyone.

        He feels weak in most games. It's because he's seen as the agile nerd zipping around and outsmarting his enemies when in reality he has super strength and can literally blow holes into concrete and push up trucks . What the hell do they think he's going to do to a human body?

      One of the core problems (of which there are many) when it comes to video games now is they're genuinely too big. It's why previous consoles have more games and the PS5 is so barren, each of these fucking titles takes like 5 years to make and most of them still aren't any good with those long dev times.

      That's weird because I've seen complaints elsewhere that suggest Miles doesn't have much to do with the story and that his character arc revolves around wanting revenge against Mr Negative. Oh, and something about being unable to finish a 500 word essay which is fucking hilarious.

      That's part of what I mean. Miles only ever does plot-relevant shit when it would undermine and take moments away from Peter. The one plot you'd think he'd get to himself when Mr. Negative returns, just kind of ends immediately after the boss fight. Miles spends the entire game up to that point wanting to kill Mr. Negative for revenge, and then not only backs down after being given the chance, but sets Mr. Negative free and just trusts that a schizophrenic supervillain will do him a favor afterwards. Meanwhile, whenever Miles interacts with Peter's part of the story, it's almost always to bail him out after the plot dictates he's not capable enough to do it himself. Biggest example being that Peter only removes the symbiote because of Miles, when every other interpretation of the story has had Peter do it himself. It feels very "square peg in the round hole." because nothing in the main story feels like it explicitly needs Miles to be there.
      Except for the ingame Adidas advertising, of course.

        It makes me wonder where things are gonna go from here. It feels like companies have infinite money, but I can't imagine every AAA game developer wants to ALWAYS be working on one game for 8 years. The dev time is too long, the games are all trying to be massive and open world, and they're all trying to push maximum ultra realistic graphics over all else.

        I think the next couple years will be the determining factor to see if it all continues as a status quo or if it tumbles down and explodes in a fiery hell.

      What does this mean exactly? The devs themselves are pushing back against the GaaS model? If so that gives me a light sense of hope. This year really hasn't been that bad for releases as well. I enjoyed both the RE4 and System Shock remakes. Yeah Ada's voice is trash and the IRL person is a fucking cunt. Yellow paint is aids and they removed the ballistics joke. None of that should've happened, but damn if it didn't nail a lot of stuff too. That's usually how it goes with these remakes. System Shock Remake was entirely pure kino that was honestly needed if you've ever seen what OG SS1 looks like. I do miss the ability to have free-aim from the OG. I learned to love that type of aiming when SMOD for Half-Life 2 added it and it's the superior way of aiming going forward for FPS games.

      In regards to non remake shit, AC6, Jagged Alliance 3, Baldur's Gate 3, and Hifi Rush were all breddy gud games that I had loads of fun with. HFR desperately needs a fucking lock-on and a rival character maybe make her a girl if they're gonna go all fucking in with the whole lesbo ship. RIP my KorsicaxChai fapfic.. Less reliance on the partners for taking out certain enemies too. Atleast give Chai one or two moves that can also break shields/kill fire/smash armor so we're not just running around waiting for partner CDs to come online. JA3 has amazing mod support and also has me wanting to go back and finally properly experience JA2 and it's touted 1.13 mod. The game is a little too lighthearted but it also has an amazing soundtrack of African music that elevates a fucking quest about naggers fighting over garbage to K I N O levels. Great cast of characters and it doesn't try to target that faggy easily offended crowd. BG3 you got the tranny necromancer placed in a fucking circus kek. Instantly smashed with a double smite and moved on. Needs higher level cap tho and a better Act 3.

      Shills you better read this shit.

        I wouldn't be surprised if devs are pushing back against gaas. Hell I don't think anyone actually likes it, it's just because the budgets are too big and investors want their money back, that gaas is the only way forward. So devs are forced to listen to the suits and make their games mtx hells, just so they can keep making games.

        And I agree with you 100%. This year has been chock full of great games, AAA and indie, even if many of them have been remakes. Trust in the plan, Korsica will be Chais or he will get an asian waifu in the sequel.

          Forgot to mention, I honestly don't have a problem with remakes if it's actually appropriate.
          Last of Us does NOT need a fucking remake/remaster/refuckshitwhateverthefuck
          System Shock 1 needed a fucking remake, even if the OG was fun to play. Back then patches were not as constant. You didn't open a launcher and get an instant patch. You had to go FIND that shit nigga. So remaking it with modern GRAFIXXXX as well as fixing bugs that were on release is something worthwhile. I say if it was made before 2001, it's fair game for a remake. Anything after that would seriously be doubtful if it needed a remake unless it's one of those games (Dragon's Dogma) that are just riddled with cut content.

          Yamaguchi and Iwata predicted this would happen back when HD gaming blew up. They fucking called it and every journoblogger shat on them for it. WELL GUESS WHO WAS RIGHT!
          Good games with fun gameplay are better and actually make profit over shit that fellates itself over maturity so insecure adults can feel ok playing a glorified children's toy but only in the most surface level ways because gameplay complexity is too hard for them so we need to hold their hands like it's Dora the Explorer and of course pushes graphical fidelity instead of something affordable.
          And instead of fixing this issue they're only ballooning budgets more and praying that GAAS can save their asses.
          And that's not even mentioning that the outsourcing and current hiring practices are so fucked that we have mentally disabled retards doing a bunch of "work" and it's gotten so bad places like Ubisoft now have their devs making games in VISUAL FUCKING SCRIPTING.

    Consoles are in a shit place generally.
    Xbox having to tighten the leash on Bethesda because they couldnt deliver skyrim 2, Arkane is fucked because they released Red Flop.
    Standards slipping, the new meme now is "we want to redeem the game" as if they saw No Man's Sky and think "yep its normal to release a shit game and patch it to be a good one"
    Creative and technical talent is drying up, Big studios are revolving doors, Arkane lost 80% of its pre Redfall staff (aka the good staff), so its dead as a studio.
    Sony and Playstation still have no fucking games, and the ones they do release are movie capeshit that has died in its crib due to Marvel having no clue how to write anymore.
    Sega greenlit then killed 100 million dollars.
    All these retarded studios shooting themselves in the head. its very likely there will be a massive downsizing across all platforms but hitting mostly the console devs because games have stagnated so fucking hard

    Sony thought they could become the next Nintendo with first party games by making big, bloated exclusive AAA games with gargantuan budgets as a differentiator versus Nintendo and Xbox while relying on third party to bring in revenue since Andrew House. They didn't have much plans after that. With the absolute shitshow performance of TLOU 2 and Horizon Forbidden West both cost $200 million plus to develop and both didn't get even close to the first game in sales. Their margins became razor thin, especially when pandemic spending dried up. They had to pivot to GAAS games to make money back because AAA bloatfests weren't bringing in money when they were costing as much to develop as GTA V did (Without the insane returns of GTA V).

    Sony's created a problem of their own making that even their own exec, Shawn Layden warned them about (And they kicked him out instead of acknowledging their business model had a huge weakness)

        That's the problem though. Sony's been pouring gargantuan budgets into them like $220 million for TLOU 2. Only for it to end up that the sequel to do less copies than the original and they aren't making money on them any more. That's why they were making a huge pivot to GAAS games because those big AAA exclusives just aren't making money any more.

          I'm not a Kusony so I will say that yeah they are movie games, I just think that with the advent of film/tv for Sony they will see even greater relevance for their IP because they are glorified filims.
          Games like TLOU2 will probably end up profitable over their lifetime, it's at around 10 million units in consumers hands, about 4 mil of them full price at $60, the rest varying from gratis to discounted, and it still has yet to see a PC release. Even though you get games like TLOUPII which are short term losses you get games like Marvel's Spiderman/2 which are big successes riding on smaller development budgets and higher initial/long term sales, or God of War, and as far as production value goes I don't see games getting more expensive, if anything they will become cheaper due to needing far less optimization and having far more diverse approaches to production of assets, as well as AI assistance.

            The problem Sony has is these are turning into long-term losses and it's been showing in their financial reports. Horizon Forbidden West cost $212 million. It only sold 8.4 million in a year despite also being released on PS4 and being a force bundle. TLOU 1 sold 16 million in a year. TLOU 2 is still stuck on 10 million and Sony no doubt was looking for 20 million on that game. The AAA bloatfest model no longer works and is costing them money which is why Sony is pivoting to GAAS.

            Sony is selling Hardware but games are selling like shit.

            Nintendo is also barely behind in hardware sales and it’s way ahead in software, all with a last gen toaster of a system that barely ran most multiplat games from 8th gen.

            The abandonment of their smaller budget first party games, ignoring indies apart from the odd woke shit to pad out trailer reels, focus on AAA cinematic sludge designed to only appeal to the kids of wealthy Californians (aka most of their managerial staff now), and undermining of their remaining first party titles by porting to PC, making them less desirable and highlighting how unappealing they are when competing with, rather than complementing third party games, has all fucked their brand and is going to end up making them as irrelevant as Xbox is soon enough.

            Except of course Xbox can just buy the entire AAA third party market, so it doesn’t even need Xbox, nor does it have to care that it will never make a profit.

            Everything Playstation has done since moving their headquarters to California has been retarded. Unsurprisingly.

                I mean in current sales. The last gen Switch is barely being outpaced by the current gen PS5. Once the Switch 2 launches, Sony will no longer even be able to brag about hardware.

                Also the PS1 and 2 absolutely beat the N64 into the dirt. The Wii only outsold the PS3 by a little over 10m units in 7th gen, then in 8th the PS4 sold ten times as many units as the WiiU but has been comfortably surpassed by Switch.

                This gen I expect the PS5 to not sell anywhere near as well as the PS4 by the end, while the Switch 2 will likely sell about as well as the Switch, because it will have better games and continue to provide better value for money as a console and handheld in one.

                It’s barely more powerful than the WiiU. It released between the PS4Pro and Xbone X. It can’t play any games that are only on PS5 and XSS/X. It’s an 8th gen console,

                It’s also not the first time a company launched 2 consoles in the same generation. Atari launched both the 2600 and 5200 in 2nd gen.

                I mean if the Switch is current gen then are you going to also argue that the Switch 2 will be a 10th gen system, when it will be contemporary to the PS5Pro, only be able to play 9th gen games at the very most and be on the market half a generation before a single 10th gen game even exists?

      the sooner you retards realize that you're driving all of society left because of how legitimately insane conservatives are, the faster you might actually start to gain wins in the culture war again.

      your precious nintendo and microsoft also pump their games full of 'political messages' your ilk doesn't care for

    Who cares, PS5 is still the best console on the market to play ANYTHING. Did you idiots really buy an XBOX to play Starfield of all things?

    PS5/Switch is the best combination to own and I will die on that hill.

    It's kinda fucking crazy that this is supposed to be the midlife of the gen 9 consoles and the PS5 library still looks like the fucking early PS3's.

    It doesn't help that a lot of devs are still loathe to abandon the last generation of consoles for whatever reason.

        I feel like that was always going to be the case, that Spider-Man 2 would have a bigger launch day but that wouldn't translate into actual momentum and Mario would probably outpace it by the end of December, if not spring.

    Meanwhile Nintendo is in the midst of rapid expansion and has plans to double its workforce within the next 5-10 years. Imagine a Nintendo able to produce games at almost double its current pace, third party support would become even more irrelevant for them.

    Know I'm probably preaching to the choir at this point, but the issues Sony has all steam from CoD. The PS4 benefited massively from CoD money rolling in every month and Sony pursued cinematic movie games which were carried by the success of the console. The problem is these games are really fucking expensive and have pretty low returns (worse now that Sony games sell like Wii U games). So with the risk of their chief competitor owning the golden goose, they have to do something to turn a profit on games. And GaaS was all the rage. Hell, they made a lot on Genshin Impact, so why not make their own games. Of course, the developers at those studios just wanted to make TLOU clones and got pissed they have to make something else (that said, Live Service Bubble has popped so these would all flop anyway). Jim was canned primarily due to CoD. He banked everything on it and rather than trying to adapt, cried to everyone in the world to a year and a half how they were somehow the underdog and should be special after doing the same thing to SEGA years ago. The mess is due to a strategy that only made sense in a low interest rate environment and because they had easy money with CoD. Those are gone and Sony doesn't know what to do. The only thing working for them is the console sales but somehow every game released for it also flops. Something is going on with console sales that we don't know. Either way, they are fucked and everyone is laughing at them

      CoD and the big two year freakout they had over MS buying Activision is part of the problem. Though Sony still has EA FC and Grand Theft Auto to bank on even if COD is now funding their direct competitor in the market but even then. Those could go at any minute if EA or Take Two decided to sell up to a major tech or bigger media conglomerate that would have major leverage over Sony.

      Though it does sound like the whole GAAS Pivot was in the works well before MS announced they were buying Activision. Probably when TLOU 2 didn't do too hot on that eye watering $220 million production budget (Great opening month then cratered and was being given away in bundles by Black Friday). Sony probably believed at that point that the big AAA's aren't bankable if the budgets close to what GTA V cost to develop and decided to pivot then.
