Yeah it really makes me think something has to change.

Especially since an Fps should cost less than open world with lots of characters and locations.


These numbers sound insane. I wonder how it compares to the developpment costs of other big games.

I also wonder how it conpares to the cost of similar games like Killzone 3 or Gears Of War from 15 years ago.


Sorry for you as it sounds really sad.

I hope it’s just temporary and you’ll find a more comfortable balance soon.


How many games do you manage to play at the same time?
I’m a separated dad with a demanding job and a fiancé. I only have the kids when I’m not working but I want to be fully available for them. Recently, I’ve noticed that it would be difficult for me to play more than a story/ambiance game (next one is gonna be either Dead Space Remake or Aliens Dark Descent) and forever playable game (Gran Turismo 7 since its launch). If I played more games with the time I have, I would forget the story or the controls. I haven’t tried but I’m pretty sure of it. The problem with such a system is that I’m almost a aralyzed when I have to chose which story/ambiance game I’m gonna play. So what’s your system and what are your time limitations?

Yeah but the consoles still have to be cheap enough for people like me not making the jump to PC gaming.

So I’d say they have to be careful about the hardware price compared to a PC.

Nothing beats the ease of use of a console, but I can tell you that if prices starts getting close, I’d pribably buy a PC that I can use for way more than gaming and watching movies.


I loved Mass Effect but I ain’t so enthusiastic about what I’m seeing for now…

Clearly the main protagonist looks a bit cheesy…


I’m intrigued about this one. I’d still want another Last Of Us though.


If it’s the first time Last Of Us 2 comes out on PC, I don’t see the problem.

It’s a masterpiece and I’d want everyone to enjoy it.

But, now, Naughty Dog really has to do something else than remasters.

I’d love a third Last Of Us, but it could also stop on such a great note.


Clearly, sometimes watching a TV show or a Youtube video is way less demanding than gaming.

I don’t know if it’s good or bad, but it’s my reality.

I also know that I really love immersing myself into story driven games, so playing a few minutes before cooking the meal isn’t an option.


Yeah these games are great, although clearly not perfect.

I enjoy them but some buggy technical aspects in the second one are quite distracting.

But you have a lot to explore in an interesting way.

They remind my of the first new God of War but in a Star Wars world.


I might have a look at it with my fiancé who’s not at all into gaming, but really invested in fighting against the palestinian genocide


I have a Switch that I’m almost never using (nor my kids), but yeah the idea is great.

I’d love a similar concept from Sony even if it’d just be a copy.

If only I enjoyed nintendo games as much as sony games.


Nah it’s never gonna be able to play steam games as Sony is making money on the games it’s selling and not the hardware.

I think the advantage it would have over the Steam Deck is that you wouldn’t have to tinker to get games playing as it’d just be a normal console.

Personally, as a console gamer, I feel more and more attracted by Linux gaming, but I don’t think I’ll make the jump until physical games are gone for good.


Good luck to that lawsuit!

I’ve nothing against Sony, but I want some of these companies to lose some of these cases just to remind them that we should own what we buy.


I don’t see in what way having a PSN account would make Horizon Zero Dawn safer on PC.

But I also wouldn’t mind so much if the few PC games I’d buy from Sony were linked to my PSN account as I’ve been a Playstation gamer since the first console.

Still, I wouldn’t want every publisher to require an account to play…


I’ve played through the normal game and the expansion. I loved the universe, but the gameplay isn’t so great to be honest.

Also I often struggled with dialogues, selecting one sentence and not understanding why I’d have to kill everyone around after making this choice (Maman Brigitte for instance). But this might be just me😇

I recommend playing these games and I’ll play both at least twice.


That’s so true and that’s why I’m getting tired of open world games and really trying to space them evenly with a few « normal » games inbetween.

I kind of miss linear games.


What I find crazy is that on Playstation you got Gran Turismo in 2022 I think and there’ll be no other concurrent until Asseto Corsa Evo in probably 2026.

I’ve already so many hours of going around the Ring in GT7, but I’d really h’love an extension with a new career mode and new trophies until Asseto Corsa Evo.


Well the magic of a remake is that you can still poay the old game if you’re not happy with it😅


I have no problem with remakes as long as they aren’t just trying to grab some cash from you without any work.

I’ve really enjoyed the Final Fantasy VII remakes or the Planet of the Apes remakes. Yes they aren’t perfect, but it feels like some passion was put into these projects.

As long as we aren’t just getting remakes, I have nothing against it. And sometimes remakes even have more originality than another generic game.


Could be for some games, but it doesn’t apply to games which had the resume activities and were still exposing you a thousand times to the same screens.

Also, at this point, they don’t know what game mode you’re gonna play so I don’t think they can load much except the general menu.


What I really don’t understand is how crazy it is in 2024 to have to go through the same screen telling you who’s the developer and publisher of the game even after 150 hours of playing time.

I think we should have an option to go to certain parts of the game directly in the welcome screen from your Playstation.


I’ve just finished replaying Killzone 3 on PlayStation 3 and it’s still really impressive.

I might start Little Nightmares 2 tonight or tomorrow on my PlayStation 5.



I’ve watched the trailer and it doesn’t look good enough to justify buying the remake I think.

I also fear that I may just be too old for Metal Gear. I used to love them though and I’ve played all of them at least 3 times, except the fifth one which was just a huge disappointment.


I really enjoy Gran Turismo 7 even if it lacks a proper career mode and the AI isn’t good.

Looking forward to Asseto Corsa 2 as people were really happy with the first one and I haven’t played it.


I feel like the problem right now is that we have too many open worlds as if every game needed to be one.

As much as the ps3-xbox 360 era was the FPS Era, the PS5-Xbox X is the open world era.

I hope that soon we will go back to more variety.

Right now I’ve adopted a rythm where I force myself to play a linear game between every open world.


I really hope that something gets done about games not being playable anymore. This is really important for the sake of our hobby and clearly not acceptable.

I could understand how multiplayer games would be harder to maintain 20 years after their release, but there is no excuse for solo games.


I really don’t see the point, but I’m not against it as long as it doesn’t lower anything we’d be getting on normal ps5.

At least for the ps4 and ps4 Pro, I didn’t feel like the ps4 pro created a problem for regular ps4 games.


I love the ps5 controller but I’m now kind of scared about stick drift as one of mine had to be replaced because of it.

The second one doesn’t show any sign of this happening, but I’m not so confident anymore although Sony had never disappointed me before regarding reliability.


Loved the world, hated the story, so for me it’s clearly not a masterpiece.

But every tastes are in nature


It’s crazy because I think this game had people paying more to get it earlier than others.

These people should be highly compensated, like getting some future free games or stuff like this.

I’m not a Ubi Soft hater as I’ve enjoyed some of their games through the years (Watch Dogs 1, Assassin’s Creed 1-2, Splinter Cell), but such things make me understand why people hate them.


I think people give too much importance to such things.

I’m not saying 60fps isn’t nice, but it ain’t the most important thing and I feel like drawing distance or stuff like this are more distracting.

For me it’s crazy to still have racing games where shadows or trees are still appearing too late or where things are just abnormally disappearing in the rear view mirror.


Well I never tried driving through a chain link as it would just destroy your car in real life and you might get really injured if the chain is solid enough 😅


Lovely game with a great story!

The downside was that the interviews were sometimes a bit awkward and you were supposed to use non verbal cues to get clues about someone lying or not. It was a tad too ambitious I guess, as even in real life you can’t really guess.


This game is really great and its length make it enjoyable many times.

I played 2 years ago when I was still on PlayStation 4 and it looked great.

The soundtrack is also great to listen to.

One of my favorite FOS of the last decade with the killzone and wolfenstein series.



I’d almost love if games were released and getting no updates after that. But only if the games are released in a complete state.

I hate the fact that you shouldn’t play some games as soon as they are released, because you’d be playing the inferior version.

That needs to change.


That game was really a masterpiece! I enjoyed every part of it!

I’m really looking forward to the next Quantic Dream game, as they never disappoint even if Beyond Two Souls was inferior to their other games.


I can only agree with this 👍

On PlayStation it ain’t a nuisance because the psn account is valid for every game, but on pc I agree with you.


Yeah PSN not being available everywhere is weird and not good for their sales then.
