MasonicGamer: With Microsoft keeping schtum on their next console Sony are taking all the thunder. As our current console cycle comes round to closing time, it seems that in many ways Sony lost the race with the PS3. Coming out after the 360, and unclear on what it’s edge was over the Xbox 360, it was like the PS3 never hit its stride.
This time it feels like the tide is turning for Sony, or that perhaps it already has.
Available right now on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and PC is the latest from a prolific KEMCO team - Horrific Xanatorium; a horror Visual Novel

Almost unbelievably, Days Gone has just turned 5 years old after launching on April 26th, 2019. What's changed in that time?
Second act of that game far surpassed the first. Which is why people felt it didn't live up to the hype of the trailers. Personally I loved it. But it was a slog to get your bike and weapons up to skill.
Was gonna post a brick wall of text but I'll keep it short. Pardon my French but f**k the media for the hate they gave this game. If you have a PC to play it on you can get it as low as 10 bucks, and if you have a PS then it's a no brainer. Totally worth a play.
I don't even comment here often but had to for this game, I still stand by my opinion that this was one of the top 10 games of the ps4 generation, I preferred days gone over god of war, horizon and last of us 2, the launch version was definitely piss poor and that messed up the reviews for this game, honestly some games deserve a re-review or post patch review as the metacritic score stays forever but the reality is its not even the same game anymore, the ps5 patch is amazing and the pc version which I play on nowadays is one of the best looking games ever, complete shame that we wont get a sequel, god of war got one, horizon got one, last of us got one, spider man got one,ghosts of tshushima about to get one but this game wont get one, sucks to be honest.
Ps3/360 era had some hidden underated games for me it was shadows of the damned, alice madness returns that deserved more sales and a sequel/ higher scores, and similarly for the ps4 era it was days gone, and dying light 1 that deserved much more love, dying light atleast got a sequel, everyone needs to play this game once and judge for themselves, for me its officially the most underrated game of the ps4 era, go play it if you haven't.
The PS3 never hit it's stride? It outsold the 360 coming out a year later, taking more chances w/ software, spending a billion less in advertisement all while focusing primarily on the "core gamer" or whatever you wanta call it. The PS4 is the continuance of that stride and everything is looking great.
I've been saying for weeks that MS's silence on the Xbox 3, or at least the rumors swirling around it, would only act to damage their image with gamers and the media. This is happening right now and if MS continue to ignore the situation more and more people will turn to Sony/Nintendo.
It's like they just don't care anymore, like losing their year head start of sales completely has drained them of the will to even try.
Sony have made themselves clear, they are in this to win it and all with gaming at the forefront of their ambitions. If MS wish to ignore this and hand the generation over to PS4 on a silver platter, then so be it.
They were always in first place.
With all the approaches Sony is taking, imagine if they allowed game mods on their system. And had their own workshop and called it "Playstation Extra" or "Playstation Beyond" .... Terrible names I know but still it would be another major reason to own a Playstation ....
It's just me hoping !!!!
Sony could basically stand still and win this race as it stands at the moment.
It's actually quite worrying.
