    I agree, I don’t think there’s anything Sony can do about the cost. Manufacturing costs aren’t going down over time like they used to in the past. That’s why there haven’t been any price cuts this gen.

    I think the PS5 Pro was just a doomed concept to begin with. There’s nothing they could do to make games look noticeably better without making the console outrageously expensive or requiring devs to do an unreasonable amount of work to support it.






  • It’s impossible to predict which new multiplayer games will be successful and which ones won’t. It’s so risky for developers to even try making them nowadays. Even games that seem successful at first (like The Finals and XDefiant) struggle to maintain much interest over time.

    Anyways, I like Overwatch but I’ve gotten bored with it over the past few years, so I’m potentially interested in Concord. I’ll keep an eye on it. (I was aware that there was a beta, but I thought it was pre-order only so I didn’t check it out)



  • I don’t know much about GTA, but I have a hard time imagining GTA6 being anything less than a gigantic success. It doesn’t need to be a massive improvement over GTA5, it just needs to be a noticeable upgrade. The only way I can see it failing is if they get too greedy with their live service model, but even then it’s still probably going to sell like 40 million copies in its first year.










  • I assume you’re talking specifically about upcoming games that haven’t been released yet? Yeah I can’t really think of anything coming up that I’m excited about. Currently the only games I’m looking forward to are Metroid Prime 4 (if it ever comes out) and the indie game Dreamsettler (the sequel to Hypnospace Outlaw)
