Sucker Punch’s massive samurai adventure Ghost of Tsushima has come under fire because of the PSN requirement. However, unlike Helldivers 2, things are a lot different and more logical this time.
Sony hosted its financial conference call, and CFO and COO Hiroki Totoki provided insight into the plans for the PlayStation business.
It was also mentioned that Helldivers 2 is doing better than expected and Ghost of Tsushima for PC and Destiny 2: The Final Shape are contributing to earnings.
Why don't you just stay in the SOnic and Mario threads? Your comment history makes it obvious you hate Sony.
Well maybe if they didn't pull stuff like this I wouldn't hate them, stop trying to award them a free pass
The playstation fans here fly off the handle whenever Nintendo releases a game for $60 (for some reason), yet the so-called "video game industry leader" lays off hundreds of staff and we are just ment to shut up and consume apparently
You clearly haven't read my comment history, the only times I've complained about Sony is when they have been indulging in mass layoffs, which, how are you guys ok with that?
You do realise that all these amazing, world class video games Sony are making, and in this thread, promising to keep making come off the hard work of the very staff that Sony are fire-ing, why are you trying to defend them?

Oh wow, I totally forgot about Bungie's 'Marathon' and did actually confuse it with 'Concord' over the last several months thinking to myself "Wow that game looked so promising when it was announced and now it turned into this."
Man, just had to re-watch that trailer again now of 'Marathon'. Looks so good & interesting in its art style.
However, I am getting a little bit nervous about the "in order to consistently and continuously release hit titles.”
I mean no doubt about it - I wish the PS Studios to do exactly this.
But I also just wish they keep their cool.
Don't they rush things, don't they crunch ppl.
I really wish for the PS Studios to have a great working atmosphere and that Hermen Hulst knows better than Ryan about not putting studios under pressure.
Watch concord blow it up. Most of the hate for that game is by people that didn’t play the Beta.
Nah, it's dead in the water, I can't see how that game can succeed without major changes to the gameplay, and even then, those terrible/forgettable character designs are going to hold them back.
I'm predicting a flop at best.
It had an open beta and nobody wanted to play it. What makes you think they'll now pay $40 for it?
Actually, those that played it had a positive feedback, but then the negative press caught up. I wonder if they will be able to tank it, or if it can endure the initial pre-emptive bad press and come out serving crow for dinner.
I was excited to get my hands on it after it's first reveal, played in the betas.. there is certainly a lot of positives for the game but there is also a lot of negatives. The game isn't ready for release, not by a long shot. There is some great ideas there but just doesn't come together. None of the modes in the beta really pieces all the strings together in say the same way OW did with their limited but focused game modes. Then stupid things like having the character's pronouns on every character screen is akin to slapping jam on your testicles and dangling them to the anti-woke mob.
If they can't even get high numbers for an open beta, how are they going to get people to pay £40 for it? I actually enjoyed it enough that I'd buy it if it was going to take off but there is no point as it's almost certain to be featured in the ps plus monthly games before the year's end.
It is. They're factoring gaas titles which is why things are being slowed down the past year or so. Sony has never done gaas before from a first party standpoint.
We all know if they never went gaas it would be buissness as usual from most if not all their first party right now.
Just the sharp adventure we've been looking for.
A lot of the first-party games published by PlayStation on PC have been updated today to add support for AMD FSR 3.1.
Have you ever seen God of War, Horizon, Death Stranding, or FF7 go from 16:9 on PS to 32:9 on PC? Its like a totally new experience! 120FPS helps too.

yet be it on console or pc aloy will never be in the center of the screen that always got to me.
Oh and the framerate drops on ps5 never played H2 on pc yet.
But yeah you can not beat pc for the xess/fsr on any game with any card and that ultra wide when a game support's it.
I have been enjoying some days gone native 4k maxed out at 120fps locked.
Nixxes is really off the charts with their PC support. Honestly Sony made a really good choice by purchasing them.
"Major" exaggeration but sounds fancier than "improved upscaling over FSR3"
The actual interesting thing with FSR3.1 is theyve decoupled the frame gen so you can use it with a better upscaler, DLSS (useful if you dont have a 40 series).
I'd say it is pretty major though. Five Nixxes titles in one day, their entire PS5-PC portfolio including their earliest port Spider-Man Remastered.
It's rare seeing a unified approach like this covering years of titles. Nixxes must have an incredibly thorough and consistent tech stack to pull this off
Agree. Impressive support.
Although im sure you actually understood what I was saying. Its an decent incrimental update to AMDs upscaling software which is arguably the worst of the big 3 solutions. Native, these games still look better, as they do with DLSS.
Oh yeah I upvoted you too, totally understand what you're saying (and I know my framing of "major" is different than the article's)
It shows what a real port studio is unlike iron galaxy
I agree its rare but i also see it as a sad situation with the millions/billions made we should have seen this with many many other games in mass updates. But sadly only a few games are using 40 series tech then fs3 can be used on any game but the big features are per game dependent its like come on now.
Atleast when you see nixxes you know your getting a quality port.
While they keep releasing Remasters on PlayStation at a Price... It's FREE on PC
"Sony has made it clear long before its release that the PSN requirement is strictly for the online multi-player Legends mode in Ghost of Tsushima and the PlayStation overlay. Online connection or PSN is not applied to the single-player campaign, which is honestly what the game is all about."
Legends clearly was based around using the pan they hardly want to have to design a whole new account structure just to play it, that's alot of effort and work. Ultimately people kicked up a fuss despite there being workarounds in most of those territories that people with a ps console have used over there for literally like 15/16 years. This is the consequence of that, be careful what you wish for or demand because you don't necessarily get to pick the method by which you get it.
This game is not Helldivers 2. Every game doesn’t need to be Call of Duty. I may or may not play one minute of the online component. I’m buying it solely for the story/campaign. Sony needs to integrate it better but Microsoft does the same with Xbox live account. It’s an ecosystem they will always want to tie into the console audience and frankly don’t know why this is such a big deal.
cant wait to play this masterpiece!
I want to play it for single player and if I want to try legends I am willing to log into my PSN account. What’s the big deal anyway? If I want to play a rockstar game from steam I still have to have a different launcher and account other that launcher and same goes for UBI. On PC we have so many store front anyway what’s another log in. BTW the way we the pc gamers reacted to HD2 will only mean Sony will make it clear before launch that their online is only available with PSN account
