Firmware Update features Malc and Joe discussing the releases of the Xbox One and PS4. Who won? Who outsold who? Plus, Joe discusses his experiences with the X1 in comparison to the PS4. Who has the best controller? Which has the better games? Better future games? We discuss this and more.
Talking points: The future of the Fast and Furious franchise with the tragic passing of Paul Walker, the future of the show thanks to Malcolm’s new job at AT&T, The Last of Us maybe gets a movie, Tearaway is an amazing game that no one will play, VGX is this Saturday, Bully is Rockstar’s most successful failure, December has some awesome PS+ freebies, Twitch.tv takes Playroom off the list because people are stupid, and “Please be excited for Tomb Raider 2 at VGX!”
PlayStation - The Concert is a magical musical experience for fans of the brand.
Before GTA 5 and RDR2 took the world by storm, Rockstar Games stole Need for Speed’s thunder with the racing game Midnight Club 2.
Two award-winning masterpieces, together in one incredible collection.
As expected. Unless it's going to Xbox or Switch 2, we can stop hearing about these older games now? We can move on to just news about new games?
Man, first year of PS6 is going to be 90% remasters. I'm going to hate it and likely hold off until new games actually get released that I can't play on my PS5.
...20 years later, "you haven't heard the last of us yet!" *releases The Last of Us Retro Collection*
@Christopher
Oof, yeah. I don't think I'm picking up the PS6 until "Pro" comes out 😂
I'm already dreading all the cross generation games and remasters we'll see with the next round of consoles.
lmao this is getting ridiculous but thing is if people keep buying them.. then why would they stop making them?
Peeps STOP BUYING this game.. that actually hurts me to say this as the last of us is high up on my greatest games of all times.. its one of the few games i played through start to finish 3/4 times back to back as i loved it so much. But sony need to stop, give us a Resistance 3 remaster, i would love and buy that.. such an underated series as was killzone.
Or give us infamous.. so many great series and titles i would gladly buy but they just want to keep giving us last of us.
I am done buying that game.. i would only buy part 2 remaster if they remade it and kept joel alive, or i am not interested. Hate last of us 2s story killing off joel.. the actual game is stunning and incredible, they improved so much in the gameplay department but i hate the story with a passion.
We can stop hearing about it when they stop re-releasing them I guess.
I reckon the ps6 version will be 8k 240 and I'll still not care.
I miss new games from nd
And HBO just announced season 3 even tho LoU2 couldn't possibly be so long that it wouldn't be able to fit in 1 season. They're just milking it at this point.
speaking of the HBO series... I felt they should have made part 1 across two seasons, then address part 2 in seasons 3 and 4. so now i have a feeling they rushed through part 1 in season 1 to make season 2 a cliff hanger with Joel's impending demise being the starting point to Season 3.
I love how they decided to rush, chop and change things for Season 1 to get through the game yet for TLOU Part II it’s like “we’re going to do multiple seasons and take our time”
Okay after seeing that there's only 7 episodes I take it back. Though I think it's incredibly stupid not to have just made the season longer. Another season just to finish what could've just been a 13 episode season seems counterintuitive but aiight. I put that on HBO tho.
This will be the 4th time Sony sells us The Last of Us Part 1.. And the 2nd time on the PS5.
At this point we are at Skyrim in terms of frequency. Skyrim was one per generation. If you exclude VR Skyrim we've now exceeded it
Tlou 1 PS3, 1 PS4 2 ps5
Skyrim 1 ps360 2 PS4/x1/vr 1 ps5/sx
Tlou 4
Skyrim 4
Not quite. Skyrim had:
PS3/360/PC
PS4/X1
VR
Switch
Skyrim Special Edition PC/PS4/X1
Skyrim Special Edition PS5/XSX
Also add skyrim bundles like the one below and all the humble bundles since that's what everyone is doing here

@Chris, LoU is getting just as bad by milking the same user base. At least Skyrim was able to sell to a wider audience via different platforms.
@darthv72: I don't know why you're telling me that. I only corrected on number of Skyrim re-releases/ports/etc. I didn't say anything else.
@christopher guess I forgot just how much was out I think the special editions are technically one release despite being cross platform though would the Alexa version count
@Profchaos: I guess, but I'd consider it a separate release since it rolled them into one at a later date but definitely there is a PS5/XSX version with PS5/XSX supported updates specific to them.
"LoU is getting just as bad by milking the same user base"
Weird. Like 35% of PS5 owners are NEW to Playstation. Plus this is really for new fans from the TV series for season 2 of TLOU.
I recall the same idiotic comments when the 1st one was remade just before TLOU TV Series came out and it went on the be one of the best selling games that year.
So maybe get your FACTS straight. Unlike Skyrim getting literally releases in 3 generations and 10 releases.
@FPS_D3TH
It blows my mind how people do some mental gymnastics to try to cope with a game they like doing the same thing (technically more) they’re complaining about for another game.
RE4 - PS2, GC
RE4 w Motion Controls - Wii
Literally RE4 HD Remaster - Xbox 360, PS3
I’m assuming a port of RE HD - PS4, Xbox One
RE4 Remake - PS5, Xsex
1 Remake and the bunch are Remasters… how, I mean how—Y’know what, it doesn’t matter anymore…
Store says I already own it. I guess it’s just a straight twin-pack. Looks like they added 4 maps to ‘No Return’.
You don't need to buy this to get the maps, marlene and bill. It all got patched in to the game on the 3rd.
Good to know. I’ve watched runs of ‘No Return’ but have yet to try it myself. Soon, soon 😉
It's still too early too tell. I guarantee Sony will win world wide but the US is another story. Give it 4 months and we will have a clearer picture.
Right now, yes. Will it continue? Who knows. If history and record breaking numbers are anything to go by, PS4 is set to dominate. Knack selling more than Mario is very telling.
@below Zichu, I can only speak for myself, but the reason I choose to root for one over the other is because the leading console always dictate industry trends. Look at the Wii and fps(COD) thanks to Xbox 360.
I don't understand these console wars sometimes... People seem to pick and choose which one won in which category, country, or whatever.
Why can't people pick their console, play on it and leave it at that? If one outsells the other, great, it doesn't give me or you any more money. It just means that company is getting more money than the other... Does it mean that the other company isn't making any profit or getting any sales? No...
Are they really gonna remove the playroom from twitch and ustream? That's the only thing that made the playroom relevant. Nobody will ever touch it again if you can't broadcast in it. Pretty stupid if theh get rid of a good thi g just because of a few idiots. This is suppost to be a more adult oriented console anyway. Tell the kids that can't handle seeing a pair of tits once andawhile to go buy a nintendo, they need the sales anyway.
xbox is winning for gamers with its undeniable staunch lineup of exclusives..
the sony is basically a brick atm it has nothing but low mediocre games only a die hard sony fan could love
but gamers play for games..sony has none.. ps3 will when gt drops.. but ps3 isnt in this race :P
