Who care about timed exclusives? Sony should invest more in 1st & 2nd party game studios and create fresh IPs.

Why is this even a news?!

Starfield is developed by Bethesda.

Bethesda is fully owned by Microsoft.

Starfield is exclusive to Xbox.

It is like getting shocked that Ghost of Tsushima sequel is a PS5 exclusive.

Folks lets turn over a new leaf.

Day one for me.

Now I wish Sony invest in Studios (Housemarque?) and new fresh IPs. .

Good to hear that someone is coming back. Now, lets hope Bruce Straley returns.

Sound investment.

Now it is the time to invest in more studios? Perhaps Bluepoint? Housemarque?

@AhmadSumadi expanding into mobile games?? In what way does that positively affect PS5? Meanwhile MS is acquiring publishers / sealing deals with independent studios (possibly Kojima)

Instead of investing in studios/contracts with independent studios to create games on PS5. Sony is throwing money to create Mobile games. Jim Ryan Out !!

Oh pity. Playstation Studios are in a mess. Shuhei Yoshida you are missed

What a terrible month for Playstation.

Japan Studio got shattered, Days Gone sequel fell apart, and Kojima production’s next game is Xbox exclusive !

@Olmaz the PS4 game (Rescue Mission) was PSVR only .. that’s a shame cause I really loved Astro’s Playroom on PS5.

I would love to see the next Astro game on PS5. Not a PSVR2 exclusive just like Astro Rescue mission.

As far as I am concerned, Sony used air freight in delivering PS5s at launch. So I don’t see any major concern regarding the issue raised in this article.

@Octane ofcourse they will say “ HELL YEAH” if Microsoft offers is an eye watering! Sony needs to strengthen its first party studios. Last studio they bought was like 2 years ago (Insomniac). It is an investment after all if they actually own them.

@Octane because Microsoft is on fire now. They might approach the talented people at BP and snap them up. Hell they bought an entire publisher and according to their CEO they aren’t done yet.

Sony should secure them as first party studio ASAP.

Sony is downsizing its first party studios. At the same time Microsoft is acquiring more and more studios. Jim Ryan Mattrick.

Apart from Timed Exclusives, Sony also has an excellent relationship with second party studios that develop some exclusive games for playstation. Studios in the likes of Bluepoint, Supermassive games, Housemarque, Kojima Productions, Ember Lab, among others. I am pretty sure whichever earn Sonys Trust will end up soon as first party studio.

Why am I not surprised? I have known this since the first announcement. It is like saying “I wanna play Horizon Forbidden West on Xbox Series, finger crossed”

People get over this. If you love Bethesda games so much, then just get PC or Xbox.

@Exlee300p Nintendo Switch was behind Phil in that recent Video. Does that mean GamePass is launching soon on Switch? I want to hear your instinct.

@munstre why would I care? last great game from Japan Studio was Bloodborne (co-developed with FS). Afterwards, all games are mediocre . An exception goes to, Astro Playroom which isn't a full game. I honestly don’t blame Jim for this. Astro is a beautiful demo. I think they will pull off a great platformer in the future.

At this rate. Next thing (I highly expect) Sony shuts down Japan Studio. So much for “Japan is important to us”.

@Deanster101 apparently people who just came out of the cave.

@art_of_the_kill they did already with Spider Man Remaster

@DonJorginho I am extremely enjoying the game as well. It looks gorgeous on PS5 even on Performance mode. But IMO BOTW is still miles ahead. Let’s not forget the fact that Immortals borrowed heavily and I mean Heavily from BOTW.

“Organic growth” as suggested by Jim Ryan. A smart move to increase the output of every major 1st party playstation studio.

It sounds uncharted game. ND pretty much done with the franchise.

I completed the game 100% today and got the platinum. What an amazing game.

I am waiting eagerly for Witcher 3 PS5 (4K + 60 FPS + RT), since I haven’t played it yet 😅

@tfo its all about luck mate. I haven’t encountered any bugs except for the stupid quiver thing (reduced capacity)

@Wazeddie22 I agree. However my most bothersome glitch is the restrictive quiver.

@tfo dude I completed it. Had no issues. All mysteries in Cent were cleared with no issues. I am playing on PS5.

@tfo what system are you playing on?

I would grab it if it gets an average metacritic score of 85 and above. Housemarque is very talented.

@twitchtvpat Best Buy accidentally showed a listing for LOU2 upgrade for PS5. Buy why? Why would I purchase it again? Naughty Dog should release a patch and do the same as SP & Bend did with their respective recent releases.

Why not the same for TLOU2?

@wiiware Immortals got delayed, it was supposed to be released in the beginning of 2020. It really got overshadowed by its big brother.

@Total_Weirdo that’s strange despite the fact that the game is heavily discounted on both Xbox & PS platforms.

@JohnKarnes I have it already my dear friend & already completed it. But I am telling it is a great way to celebrate the recent milestone they reached (tge highest selling Platinum game)

(( Nier Automata )) should be free next month. The game is almost 3 years old and has just shipped 5 mil. A great time to celebrate. And just in time before the soon to be released Nier sequel.

@jess3a3 LOU2 is repetitive & painfully forgettable ? 😂 dude you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Anyways feel free to enjoy your cyberbugs 😁

@Crazybuttocks198 they should establish themselves first and release a decent title (which takes 3-4 years). Otherwise MS could just have recruited them to one of their 23 studios.

So much for a persistent rumor that Sony Japan Studio is developing a new Silent Hill game leaded by Keiichiro Toyama.

Demon’s Soul (Magnificent)
Astro Playroom
PES 2021
COD: Warzone

All on PS5 😍

Sony needs to strengthen its first party studios in order to stay competitive against ever evolving MS studios. Otherwise I fear these glorious triumphs might vanish in the near future. According to the latest Xbox head interview, they are open to further acquisitions.

They should let us choose what options to select. For example:

4K / 30FPS with RT
4K / 60FPS w/o RT
2K / 60FPS with RT (similar to Demons Soul)

Personally I would go for the second option all the way.

The question now is should I get the PS4 version (playing it on PS5) or wait for the rightful PS5 version (4K/60) 🤔

@TooBarFoo PS4/Pro versions will definitely run at 30FPS, no question about it. But the gameplay captured as shown above is from a PC version. I am shocked to see that the PC version is running at 30 FPS. All in all, I think the PS5 version will be 4K/60 just like AC:Valhalla. Since both games use the very same engine.

Looks impressive. But why 30 FPS? I hope it gets boosted to 60 FPS upon release on PS5.

Sony need to expand their portfolio.Especially with a developer who can create RPGs on the same creativity level of Bethesda & Obsidian.

Simply I don’t care. I downloaded a bunch of Bethesda games off PS now and I swear I have deleted them right after (Evil within 2, Fallout, dishonored 2).
