Pretty much. It has to don't Alan wake 2 us please

Cacabunga557d ago (Edited 557d ago )

I don’t even consider buying digital, except fighting games i like to have them in the HDD and do a few matches. It’s more convenient to have digital, but i still buy everything physical to be able to trade

Relientk77559d ago

Good, it should have a physical copy

SimpleSlave558d ago

Didn't they learn the lesson from Alan Wake 2? Nobody wants a physical release of any game, ever.

Konami!!!!

shinoff2183558d ago

Yea you clearly don't know what your talking about.

If people didn't want physical, larian wouldn't of came out with info to lead people to believe baldurs gate 3 will get a physical version. Physical is still needed and wanted , ask those who were digital only and just lost everything on wii u, 3ds, soon to be ps3, and even og Xbox 360 aren't 100 percent are they?

Idk how Alan wake 2 sold , I hope poorly for the time being. Be upset if you want but a big publisher like that has no business not releasing physically. If indies can do it they've got no excuse.

Ashunderfire86558d ago

2024 Best Buy, Walmart, Target and many others will stop physical release of games in store and online first quarter. That is a big blow to the used game market, and PS6 and Xbox Series X2 will be digital only. The writing is on the wall.

SimpleSlave558d ago (Edited 558d ago )

It's a Bird... It's a Plane... It's a Jo...'Whoosh!!!

Trust me, bud. You and a few others never had a chance.

😐

JackBNimble558d ago

Yeah good luck with your BC on your physical games next gen. These console makers are laughing all the way to the bank.
I'm not apposed to physical, I'm just stating the obvious.

Barlos557d ago (Edited 557d ago )

Do you think he was kidding, maybe?

On the subject of BG3, I've just started act 3 on PS5 and have so far put about 95 hours into it, but if a physical version does ever surface I'll definitely buy it. It's unlikely I'll ever play it again when I'm done, but I just want to support physical media.

They know their Konami quality will make people want to break the discs, they are just looking out for their customers.

@SimpleSlave

It's called collecting, sense of ownership, and if the game is crap one can trade it in unlike digital, and physical is usually cheaper then digital, whether pawnshop, thrift store, or Black Friday.

Yikes! Itchy itchy Guess once cross fog sarcasm understand first thing leave mind dot dot dot Interesting. Tasty.

Itchy.
Tasty.

jznrpg557d ago

I won’t buy Alan Wake 2 unless there is a physical copy or it is 5$ or less. More than likely it will be on PS+ before it hits 5$ so they probably end up getting no money from me . They would get my money right now if there was a physical copy

Barlos557d ago (Edited 557d ago )

I buy physical releases just to stop other people from buying them, in order to force them down the digital route. I feel I'm doing the community a service, taking one for the team as it were.

Silent Hill 2 Remake Review - Into the Fog | MP1st

Silent Hill 2 Remake Review - Bloober Team successfully revives the classic game that will make you want to visit the town of Silent Hill.

CrimsonWing69222d ago (Edited 222d ago )

I honestly think so or at least some kind of best of genre award. The fact that this is as good as it is, is testament to Bloober growing as a developer and actually pulling off something that a lot of us (including myself) said they couldn’t do.

Rumored PlayStation May 2024 showcase could happen this week per industry insider

Bogus!
Why would Sony do that and how would this benefit them?
1) It would piss off their media partners (IGN, Gamespot, Edge, etc.) since they would have to allocate resources fast to cover the event.
2) Risk of not having great coverage or proper coverage from the various source
3) It could give the impression that they are not confident in their own stuff.
4) They would miss the chance to hype the event losing viewers and losing free marketing time.

Again I'm calling it bogus unless it's a small showcase before the big one or because they want to announce that Hellbalde 2 is also coming on PS5.

SlothLordPootus368d ago

As far as I can remember, they typically give a week heads up for these sorts of things.

Lightning77368d ago

I was about to say Sony always gives a week in advance for their show.

VersusDMC368d ago (Edited 368d ago )

Last year it was a weeks notice.

https://blog.playstation.co...

May 17th announcement for may 24th show.

Abnor_Mal368d ago Show
VersusDMC368d ago

Nintendo always tweets that a direct is happening tomorrow but no one cares.

Sony gives a week or days of notice and we get anti sony type fake outrage like this.

But good luck trying trying to get some Sony hate going...

Petebloodyonion368d ago

You just mention it!
Sony gives a week in advance NOT just a couple of days.
So I fail to see what Sony's hate movement I'm trying to start when it's a basic business strategy to not piss off your partners (ask Sega).
And I doubt it's hate to ask how it would benefit Sony in doing so.

thesoftware730367d ago (Edited 367d ago )

@Versus
Huh? What?

Bro you really should relax, if what you read was some kinda negative against Sony.... seriously, is that what you got from the comments?

Bro, he was debunking the rumor, and gave perfectly good reasons why it would be unlikely, and your Nintendo Direct comparison is different, as this is supposed to be a BIG Sony showcase, not a surprise 20 min direct, and Sony 's pattern has been one week.

Slow down warmonger.

VersusDMC367d ago (Edited 367d ago )

@thesoftware730

"1) It would piss off their media partners (IGN, Gamespot, Edge, etc.) since they would have to allocate resources fast to cover the event."

That is implying Sony is preventing them from doing their job properly therefore negatively affecting their business...but i guess that's a reach in your mind?

And it's not like they need that many resources to cover the stream. They just need 3 people to react to the stream live and make some easy articles made up mostly of summaries of Sony provided press releases. They would have enough time to "prepare" if it was announced with one days notice.

Petebloodyonion367d ago

@Versus
" That is implying Sony is preventing them from doing their job properly therefore negatively affecting their business...but i guess that's a reach in your mind"

No, it simply implies that some media all over the world might (keyword MIGHT) not properly cover the event like having proper articles for each game announced, or having a proper preshow. maybe some popular YouTubers won't have time to prepare or simply your local newspaper doing an article on tech and game.

So why would Sony take a chance?
What benefit would that give them?

Petebloodyonion367d ago

Before I get tons of replies for Sony given a week in advance, my initial comments are related to the notion that the Show could happen this week as the title mentions.
Now to be fair the complete article mentions that Jeff said the Show could happen later in May giving time for Sony to give the normal 7-day notice.

Again not trying to start a negative thing here just thinking that it's bogus that Sony will have a show this week

notachance367d ago

Yeah as much as I’d like to hear what sony’s 1st parties have cooked, it’s not their style to shadow drop a showcase.

Still waiting for ghost of tsushima 2, I’m ready whenever man..

KwietStorm_BLM367d ago

You're assuming media outlets don't know about it.

gold_drake367d ago

i can tell you that no one cares if ign is pissed or not.

watching a livestream and writing stuff aint the world. many habe done that before your god ign.

fr0sty367d ago (Edited 367d ago )

As a former gaming journalist that covered Sony & Nintendo's E3 conferences 3 separate times and was flown out to multiple press events for THQ, Square, and EA, let me inform you of this thing called an "embargo" that journalists are put under... it's very possible that details of this event have been given to the gaming press, but they are not yet allowed to discuss it. In fact, that may be where our leaker got their info...

Petebloodyonion367d ago

Tks for sharing this info :) but let's be honest I doubt that Jeff Grubb would left in the dark due to his notoriety while the rest of Gamespot ppl are in the knowing.

Going in with no expectations but likely will see something that resonates with me.

FinalFantasyFanatic367d ago

I hope there's something impressive in there.

DeadlyFire367d ago

Nah they will announce it probably, but it won't happen right away soon though yes.
