PlayStation 5: Thread 04

[Baseley09]

That Laserdisc superplay is so cool, I haven't ever seen that before. If I had LD hardware/a collection I would absolutely be getting that. [MENTION=2725]Baseley09[/MENTION] one to pick up surely?!

Oh man yeah it's a path I've avoided so far but there's like a whole ream of SNK neo geo ones I fear once popped it couldn't be stopped

Those are 'investment grade' LDs. That's a sound fiscal decision.

The Economist posts a piece titled 'How Sony Can Make a Comeback In the Console Wars'
In it they give lots of useful advice to Sony on what to do to tackle the MS Activision merger such as increase stakes in other companies it's invested in, make films based on game franchises it owns and... umm, other stuff... you know, that it's... already... doing...

This stuff is getting a little ridiculous now. How is this all about how Sony can make a comeback here? They have the biggest market share, have sold every PS5 they can make since launch and are outselling Xbox 2:1 and have multiple exclusives coming out imminently...

They've been at the top of their game, and the market for years but suddenly the media feels the need to splurge all this nonsense about what they need to survive?

Sony will be just fine. They're making smart moves with PC and their own acquisitions, which incidentally they've been doing for years...

This clickbait crap is getting out of hand.

To be fair, EVERYONE is getting spanked by Switch sales wise so maybe everyone does need to up their game 🤔

It's tribalism.
MY console just bought Activision, so YOUR console is doomed.

The guy who wrote that article is probably team Xbox.

On a side note Deviation Games which partnered with PlayStation is working on a 'world-class FPS', scheduled for 2024.

This is a team made primarily of ex COD developers.

It makes no sense to me. The media is being very biased on this subject, on both sides and it's bordering on conspiracy theory territory. There was another one around how xbox owners were frantically trying to sell their consoles now Sony owns Bungie, makers of Halo... Umm ok.

Glad this one turned out good. Sounds like it's hard and a bit repetitive but also fun to play and master...

[Cassius_Smoke]

Yeah it's on my radar. I'll wait till its cheaper.
The difficulty puts me off a bit. I don't mind hard games, but I have to rev myself up to play them, and I can't always be assed.

Apparently SIFU is getting a physical release in May.

Exactly the same. I think I'll like this one but equally if it's rock hard it might put me off so I'd rather wait till it's cheaper and dive in then. I really love the art style and camera work in this though, it looks great

[fishbowlhead]

Year don’t think I’ll actually play this much to be honest.

[hudson]

Sifu reviewing well so far. Another that wasnt on my radar.

[Family Fry]

Would be nice to be able to play SIFU for the early access that I purchased but nice to see PSN is still big bag of **** for managing game downloads and multiple versions of games. No pre-load for early access and now no early access at all, great stuff.
