Dry?

Sony right now:

Has Astro Bot up for GOTY
Announced the PS Portal has a cloud beta where you don't need to own a PS5
Are looking to buy one of the most influential and successful development studios in the industry
Additional confirmation that PS Portable is in the works

It's weird how you can have an epic week like this and still have people downplay it.

All of this and you can't put "epic game announcements"

I don't give a shit about any of that stuff you just mentioned. I bought a PS5 for GAMES!

Its crazy to think that the gaming landscape has got so dry from the leading manufacturers that this stuff needs to be said....

Yeah, you'd think that something like a global pandemic had happened delaying everything for years...

Oh wait...

Something happening in london it seems, lots of promo material being teased.
Its probably global, its the 30th Anniversary afterall. But they do like to do some cool stuff in the major cities, like the Ragnarok stuff they had all over London.

We know there is the My First GT game coming out and I wouldn't be surprised if there are a few retro remakes being announced (like God of War)

Can you imagine the meltdowns if Bloodbo.... no, forget I said that

Are looking to buy one of the most influential and successful development studios in the industry - Isn't this still a rumor?
It is not a rumor, as Kadokawa themselves have publicly confirmed to have received a letter of intent from Sony regarding the acquisition. Their offer is currently being reviewed by Kadokawa's board of directors and legal team.

Separate to the game awards?

Geoff, One of the biggest Sony fans in the industry getting snubbed by Sony would be delightful!

The 2024 Game Awards: 220 million views.

PlayStation December 2024 Showcase: 10 million views.

Geoff is too big to snub.

It's incredible how people complain about sony having nothing this year and no variety when astrobot and helldivers 2 exist.

Just baffling really.

Negativity has taken over gaming.

I think some complaints are valid; I think better quality storytelling can tell political and diverse stories without feeling like they're preaching and I think that is something devs are going to have to overcome with a lower quality of writing than tv and movies, but also with tv and movie writing getting worse because there is so much demand from writing at the moment.

So much of online discourse has been co-opted by grifters and tourists.

Those days is so fucking easy to guess there will be a remaster or a remake.


Maybe a remaster of GoT or GoW 2018. Who knows.

tbh I am having a hard time finding what is epic here:

Has Astro Bot up for GOTY - I got bored of it a quarter of the way through, even though I will finish it. I don't know, playing a game like this at the age of 41 without a kid of my own to play it with makes it feel weird lol.

Announced the PS Portal has a cloud beta where you don't need to own a PS5 - Not into handhelds personally. I can't fixate my face to look at a small screen for too long. The Gameboy/Game Gear days were the only times I took handheld gaming seriously.

Are looking to buy one of the most influential and successful development studios in the industry - Isn't this still a rumor?

Additional confirmation that PS Portable is in the works - Eh, prefer to play on the big screen and not on handheld.

Who cares what you think about any of that. The point is those things are happening.

None of that does anything for the vast majority of PS players.

We don't play Game Awards, we play games we care about. This year was weaksauce, and only 1.5 million have cared to play Astro Bot.

Even most the small number of people with a Portal now will get bored of it when the novelty wears off.

A rumored handheld years away that will hold back the PS6 is the opposite of useful or exciting.

I personally cannot wait for Bugsnax 2. I can’t wait to see the ray traced reflections in the grumpuses eyeballs

One of my main reasons for buying a pro. The future is bright Ponies

But who'd have guessed?

I mean.. 30th anniversary of the PlayStation, Sony themselves teased it in the recent trailer.. of course something will be dropped. And while I hope it will be some bombs and jawdropping stuff... with current Sony I fear it could also be quite underwhelming. But let's see!

As a god tier insider who knows it all, I will give you one hot rumor right from the sources™: there's a lot going on behind the scenes at Nintendo my uncle has heard. Also, there might be a lot going on at Microsoft, too. Believe it or not! To protect my reliables sources I can't say any more, take it with a grain of salt and so on.

Fellas, Hulst isn't an idiot. He knows how fucked he is but it's early enough in his admin that he's looking for a way out. He reads gaming shit online. He is going to overcorrect from the GAAS bullshit, buy the maker of Bloodborne and grind that shit into the ground for 2 decades. Bet on it.

It's only the old and traditional CEOs who don't keep their finger on the pulse of the hobby they control. Hulst is not a lame, he's a smart, and he's about to overcorrect our ass into a golden age of gaming.

Not only have I been saying this for weeks, but you will start seeing it happening before the end of this year.

You wanted to go back to when Sony was niche and cool? Well all aboard 2025.

You think I'm huffing copium? Nah. Just set back, relax, and watch it happen.

If it isn't the public demonstration of Hulst and Totoki's firing, I don't care.
Last PS Showcase was f*ing garbage.
Lol..I'll never understand this mentality. How have you guys not figured out that state of plays are not showcases yet? They're small shows with some interesting stuff, potentially. Everytime they announce a state of play the comments are like "Legend of Dragoon 2?!" And "Bloodborne 2?!".

Like, adjust already. Temper your expectations. Totoki and Hulst barely started anything. Stop being so self entitled with every little thing.

Sure, but that's not really up to him and it was an initiative that started before he became head of WWS. So it's something that will continue no matter who is in charge.

Wtf are you talking about? Because I'm talking about their showcase from last year. Everyone knows that SOPs aren't showcases. They're also shit.

Nope, I'll continue to have high expectations instead of self-fulfilling low ones. Hulst has been in power at PS since 2019 and has clogged Sony's pipeline with garbage. Totoki is saying almost all of the wrong things. They need to be out before the gen ends.

Are most of them socially anxious like Neil Druckmann? They can't help themselves if this is the case.

Normally this is too insubstantial for me to make a thread on, but Billbil-Kun has leaked quite a bit of Playstation stuff (most recently the holiday discounts for PS5).



@HeisenbergFX4 we getting that 30th Anniversary showcase after all?


Someone I have never heard of is making vague statements about nothing with abysmal grammar. What is the point of the topic supposed to be?
