I’m replaying the first game it’s great. It’s not for everyone no doubt. There are still a lot of people playing it.
Then why do a sequel straight away?
Why not something else like maybe a horror game similar to Silent Hills but rebranded into a new IP.

To be honest, he is in a great situation if he doesn't have to make a mass market product. Means he can make what he wants. I think that's great.
Bungie has publicly responded to accusations surrounding plagiarism of artwork featured in its upcoming extraction shooter, Marathon.
For some reason this reminds me of issues artist have brought up regarding AI 'art'. Where literally everything is sourced from other artists. Invluding AI art in games seems like a legal nightmare.
If AI is left alone as a free platform similar to what we did with the internet, it wouldnt be an issue. But if we allow companies to patent parts of the i termet as theor own walled gardens, then yes, there would be patent wars and legal nightmare.
As to this, the title is misleading, the game’s art is not plagiarism, someone included a painting(s) that beloned to some artist, in the code.
Well, do you think companies should be able to include AI generated art in their game if the art is generated using the work from other people? Or should AI art be considered original and the source work be considered inspiration?
Platypus returns 23 years after the original release as Platypus Reclayed. Gamer Social Club caught up with the game's creator for an exclusive interview
There's a short term issue and a long term issue.
Short term issue is the lack of games showing off the hardware's enhanced capabilities. We don't know Sony's immediate Road map but it seems they'll have another State Of Play on the 19th of this month showing third party and indie but no first party. VGA's they have to announce something. Bends New LS game? Fairgames? I think Ghosts 2 is a spring 2026 title if it doesn't show show up at VGA's.
The long term issue is how big of a leap will PS6 be? They probably have 3 to 4 years until the new console releases but how big of a jump will it actually be? The Pro model is a reworked model with all the newest bells and whistles so how big of a leap will the PS6 actually have?
The PS4 pro came out in 16 and 4 years later the PS5 came out and MS was touting the One X then 3 years later the series X came out. The results were 4k 60 for cross gen stuff, TFlops meant nothing the Ssd's were over blown certain games are still 30. The overall capabilities are still barely being tapped in right now.
This gen really woke me up to overblown promises of consoles. Going to a new gen in the next handful of years I'll be very skeptical.
Going to be real. I've been going through the youtube comments on the presentation and there's a lot of people weighing just switching to PC going forward.
As (mainly) a PC player, I say take the plunge. Actually get your hands on the benefits that comes with being outside of the closed console environment. I've seen a lot of console gamers go PC over the years, but not a whole lot of PC gamers go back to console as their main platform.
enthusiasts, seeing how the disc drives sell out everywhere lol
if u have that kinda money to buy it, do so, but i dont wanna drop 1k on that, ontop of psplus and games i wanna buy
$699*
*doesn't include the $80 disc drive you need for physical games, or the $30 vertical stand that doesn't come with the console, or the $80+ a year you might need for online play, or the sales that that can run $55-75+, etc. All of that out the door before you even by a game is nearly $1,000.
At this price this far into the lifecycle of a console that is struggling for consistency of releases, this is ludicrous. PSVR2 was already a botch due to its compatibility issues and price point, and now this.
Just get a PC for around that price that's more than capable of equaling or outperforming the Pro and add a Switch 2 when it comes out. That, or a Steam Deck you can take with you then dock at home with a plug-in GPU.
