Maybe, but PSNow is already built on the bones of both Gaikai and OnLive, two of the earliest attempts at game streaming and they didn’t do much with them. PS Now didn’t really become a viable service until they started allowing people to download games locally. I couldn’t see them shelling out even more money for…

They really didn’t push it hard though, they launched it as almost an afterthought missing most of the features that were suppose to set it apart, it wasn’t competitive on pricing at all, and outside of like Gylt and that Pac-Man Battle Royale game they didn’t have any exclusives. Imagine Xbox launching but Halo…

You mention Google’s two internal studios but does that include Typhoon Studios (makers of Journey to the Savage Planet)? It’d be a shame if they got shut down when they were only just acquired a year ago. Their twitter feed hasn’t had any activity since last summer.

Think you need to check your wishlist notifications, it’s on sale like every 3 months. It was just on sale 2 weeks ago for $33.49 in Canada, $24.99 in the US.

That would be awesome. I was looking into replaying FFVI a few months ago and went down the rabbit hole of mods for the GBA version that fix the soundtrack (but then you’re dealing with lower-res, cropped graphics) and patches for the SNES version that add the GBA translation, but then you don’t get the extra content.…

I don’t think that “available in 2020" banner literally meant that every single one would be out in 2020. The FF games were a handful of like 50 games that were announced to be coming in 2020. They’ve been releasing them exactly one every 3 months like clockwork, which is admittedly way slower than they should be but…

I’ve been using the same 3 pair of Eneloops for I’m not even sure how long, most of this generation and I probably paid $10 for them. I’m sure they don’t last as long as they did when they were new but it’s still comparable to what I get out of my much newer and less frequently used DS4 controllers.

But you’re talking about having to buy an extra piece of hardware. They don’t come with a charging dock, it’s something else you need to have taking up space. I like being able to pop out my rechargeable batteries and swapping them with the charged ones I have. I’ve got one small charger that I can use for anything…

There's really no reason to do that when people who have access to a PS5 or Series X probably wouldn't be seeking refunds anyway. I just hope this leads to all of the console digital stores having more lenient return policies like Steam. It's absurd that they make significantly more money on digital purchases but they…

I agree completely about the Director bit, it’s kind of a silly analog to even have a Best Direction award to begin with and it does just end up being redundant.

The author specifically said he wasn’t discussing the “Game of the Year” award which is the one that recognizes the entirety of the team. This is about "Best Direction" which in this case is specifically about Neil Druckmann as the director. I'm sure the rest of the team would be perfectly OK with not winning "Best…

It won Best Action Game and Best Indie Game, not too shabby.

It’s definitely not great news for the future of Gravity Rush. Sony could still do a Gravity Rush 3 but it would be without Toyama. They could potentially contract his new studio to make a third one but that’s pretty unlikely, at least to begin with. There’s no chance that he got the rights to a series he created…

Jeremy Parish (@gamespite) over on Twitter said that the creator of SaGa is probably the most tenured employee still at SquareEnix so he gets these SaGa projects greenlit every few years. I was totally confused as well that this and a SaGa Collection are coming out yet they’ve left the classic DQ and FF games…

Yes, it’s not at all shady that Sony is providing a subscription benefit only for PS5 owners that is already half-assed compared to what MS has been doing with GamePass for the last 3 years. It’s ridiculous that these games aren’t accessible to PS4 subscribers as well.

Sony is leaning real hard into the “we’re on top so we can treat our customers like crap” act that every console manufacturer has to pull before getting their wings clipped. It’s some horseshit that last year Sony cut down the number of PS Plus games they give out every month and here they are giving out extra…

It probably had some impact but a lot of it has to do with both insisting on a worldwide release. The PS4 actually didn’t even launch in Japan until 3 months after the western release. Sony had originally cut their order for PS5's down below what PS4 had sold in its first 4-6 months, expecting lower demand but they…

Anemic lineup? Demon’s Souls and Miles Morales alone are light years beyond anything the PS4 had until Bloodborne came out in 2015 while Astro’s Playroom is supposed to be a blast and it’s a pack-in. The Xbox lineup is barren to be sure and I’m still more excited about Series X than I was for XB1 in 2013 mainly…

The PS4 Pro came out in 2016 and it was absolutely rushed out, but the One X didn’t come out until a year later.

LMFAO. Sure, it’s because of people like the author, not because of people who get annoyed when an athlete kneels during the national anthem. If you can’t see that one is trying to draw attention to ongoing issues in this country that are eventually going to destroy everyone’s ability to enjoy anything, while the…
