''If there’s one thing that E3 shows us each year (or any new generation for that matter), it’s how competitive people get. I’m not talking about companies or industry figures, but the consumers themselves. There’s an odd feeling of tribal warfare that sprouts up after each and every E3. ”Sony won the battle, Microsoft will win the war!” has been something frequently shouted out across the internet in the aftermath of E3. But the last time I checked, this was not a war. I don’t recall anyone from either company commanding their consumers to attack the rival company’s fans. Remember that moment Jack Tretton mounted the PS4 and raised his longsword screaming ” DEATH TO HOUSE MICROSOFT! AMASS MY FELLOW SON’S OF SONY”? No, me neither.''
Richman 11 is the latest edition of the Richman series to land on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation and PC
Scheming Through The Zombie Apocalypse Ep2: Caged is the follow-up to 2019's Scheming Through The Zombie Apocalypse: The Beginning.
Sony has confirmed that LittleBigPlanet 3 servers on PlayStation 4 will remain offline “indefinitely” following troubles with the service from earlier this year.
Sad day, hopefully they’ll allow a third party server solution. Goes to show game preservation is an uphill battle.
Sad day oh wait everyone that whining about it didn't play it or haven't played it in years and never was going back to it. Funny how people start to care when this happens but when it was actually up those same people didn't even pay attention to it.

What needs to be highlighted by this is that the series has had 4 main games then that go kart spin off yet sony let them all die.
There is 0 games like this on ps5 and to my knowledge 0 first party main kids games no tech demo crap
Sony purchased Media Molecule studio the ip then tossed it away letting it rot for over 7 years yet the community carried on until now were we have lost 16 years on all games of content along with no replacement.
Everyone goes on about ea killing studios but sony has killed way way more but its fine its sony they can do no wrong.
Before the sony blidboys track me down again go fire up your holy boxes all the dlc they tossed out all the trophies and all the user content needs a server side handshake that no longer works. Yes offline single player version 1.0 works but that is it.
Media Molecule was not cut i know but they only made LBP and dreams it was reported they just missed the chopping block

Do not forget the dreams game was tossed out 2020 but 3 years later support was pulled

All in all this is another failure at sony on a long long list in the past 10 years
It's kind of hard to disagree when SONY has a history of abandoning many of their IPs. They killed Mod Nation and turnt it into LBP Karting because of brand recognition but left it to die too. They made their own Smash Bros only to rush the studio, and turn the game into an advert for recent release at the time and still let it die. They shut down PS Home for more or less the same reason, they left it to rott till it became too broken and exploited to bother fixing.
This right here
Playstation home is what facebook is trying to make now but in vr that metaverse deal
Imagine if sony kept up ps home development
The death of playstation forums was also a huge loss
Their games were unable to attract the masses every game that came out the attachment grew smaller and smaller they advertise LBP for years the industry changed and then came fortnight... You want Sony to continue to support them which cost them money that they're not getting back from the studio.
I feel bad for Media Molecule. For the ideas they have it seems they need a publisher that supports games like this and Dreams especially for as many players as possible.
Sony in the Andrew House era did support them massively though. They let them do their thing with LBP and spent millions marketing it. I remember one E3 they even used LBP to cover the boring parts of the presentation where they talk about sales figures etc.
And then they allowed MM to announce their game on the PS4 console announcement/showcase event and waited the entire generation for them to release it.
YES!
Because the Fanboys/Fangirls on N4G keep the lights on at several web-sites that supply Gaming news.
Without the Fanboys/fangirls N4G would fade into Oblivion or just loose a TON of ad revenue and close down.
So to keep "OUR" favorite site going strong.......
XB1 = Teh Cloudz and Lame Esram
PS4 = Teh Exclusives that no one buys and Red Line of Death Awaits!
PC = NO Games and No Couch Gaming
WiiU = WTF is a WiiU
So enjoy your games on your system of choice and don't forget to ridicule the other guy for being different because being different is against the law in some sci-fi Utopian world that WE do NOT live in.

Remeber when it was okay to bash Sony for the past 7 to 8 years? What happened now? Oh yeah, new targets...
Totally agree - I personally prefer gaming on Playstation and PC, and with War Thunder out on PS4 at launch (in Australia) the PS4 is easily my preferred choice of next-gen console, but I very much hope all the gamers who get into the XB1 have an awesome time as well, as do the Wii U peeps and the PS3/360 peeps who won't upgrade for a year or two, and even those PC elitist types :).
I chose the side of Xbox. It doesn't stop me from wanting to own a PS and play their exclusives. When you let your bias for a company get in the way of enjoying games then it's a problem.
I absolutely love gaming, and unfortunately MS tried to utterly ruin it with their DRM. Maybe if MS changed their policies when literally the whole internet was full of hate for them, I could maybe forgive them in the future, but that didn't happen.
They only changed their policies when the pre-order stats came in and they realised they couldn't get away with it.
And because I love gaming and want the industry to flourish, instead of being turned into a police state where the publishers would dictate whatever policies and set whatever prices they want, I'm branded a Sony fanboy.
So yes, for me sides to need to be chosen.
Unfortunately that means initially I might miss out of some games, but I can always buy a second hand xbone in the future.
