GXC: "The holidays are over and now it's time to get back to work, school, and gaming on your brand new PS3! If you are one of those folks who is a noobie on Sony's black beauty, you might want to make sure that your new treasure is used to the full.
Don't worry, there are plenty of options on the PlayStation 3 when it comes to gaming. This is NOT a top 10 list - but as we continue covering must have games to get for different systems, here are ten (currently available – in no particular order) games that you will want to look into if you are new to the PS3."
Mass Damage & Consumer Foundation in the Netherlands has filed a class action against Sony for inflating PlayStation Store prices.
My personal opinion:
Manufacturers and publishers have indeed inflated the industry.
From $700 million development costs for games like Call of Duty, to digital (store) prices for games and DLCs, online multiplayer fees on consoles (why can you play Helldivers 2 online for free on PC but not consoles?) or still preventing sell/lend digitally purchased games.
Sometime in the future, this bubble will collapse.
They should know better, but they just can't help themselves and suck even the last penny out of our wallets.
Because Sony knows people will be forced to pay those prices for single player and multiplayer games, not everyone prefers PC gaming. Sony also has a monopoly on PlayStation digital games. In 2019, they stopped allowing retailers and game key sellers to sell PlayStation digital games, making them available only through the official PlayStation Store
They should be suing the individual publishers increasing the prices to $80 instead of suing the store. There are plenty of publishers still selling game for like $50 with much success (like E33). But this proves that the publishers are the ones setting the prices.... so again nothing changes because they aren't even going after the main offender. How is suing Sony going to make Microsoft not charge $80 for the next COD? Sony being the number one store in the market doesn't mean that publisher have to charge us an arm and a leg. Again the industry is laughing at us because consumers never get real representation. Just these fake platitudes that are meaningless.
"How is suing Sony going to make Microsoft not charge $80 for the next COD"
Because Microsoft doesn't have a monopoly, I can purchase Call of Duty at a huge discount from CDKeys or other gaming retailers. The only way to purchase digital PlayStation games is through the PlayStation Store.
Weird, I swore GoW, Stellar Blade, Horizon Zero Dawn, TLoU, etc. were on the steam store....uh.....
@djI3485
I'm talking about PlayStation games that you can only purchase on PlayStation. I can purchase Steam and Epic games from 3rd party retailers and key stores.

About time. There is zero fair reason why digitally distributed products that you cannot recoup any value when you want to dispose of them, should be priced higher than that of physical copies that entail all of the costs and the benefits of owning.
The alleged God of War game that is said to be set in the Greek mythology is rumored to have had its release postponed to the year 2026.
no surprise... this gen has been 'almost' a total wash for Sony. They has been shifting games to 26. Probably to pad out the eventual release of the PS6, which is also rumored for 26/27.
"They has been shifting games to 26. Probably to pad out the eventual release of the PS6, which is also rumored for 26/27"
Maybe their first crossgen game between PS6 and PS5?
I´m also expecting Cory´s new game to be crossgen at this point, while GT8 to be their first true next gen only game at launch.
Obscure
Everything will be cross generations. There won't be many games which will be just next generation only. As we move forward tech isn't going to give a huge jump when it comes to consoles. So why cut off part of your install base whom are easier consumers to target
We still see games being released on PS4. Sony might be looking at finishing strong going into PS6 with a lot of momentum. In 2026/2027
ND new IP
Sony santa Monica 2 games
Sucker punch 2nd team
Insomniac games wolverine and ratchet and clank
At launch of PS6 we may see Spiderman 3 day one with the console
How can this game be postponed if it was never announced to be launching in 2025? It hasn't been announced at all in fact.
ps6 has never been rumored for 26. lol. where do you get your 'facts' ? this gow game has not been announced either so no one expected a release in 25.
I'll be surprised if PS6 is out before 2028, gens get longer and longer and they've no need to rush it with most of their first party yet to reveal their PS5 titles.
Exactly...
Even if this game exists it obviously never had a 2025 release date since we're halfway through the year and it hasn't even been announced yet.
Man, I wish we could go back to the hood ol’ days of God of War. I totally understand the craft and talent that went into the modern version, but I found them incredibly boring. I love the spectacle and unapologetic visceral and energy of the originals. They were shocking, brutal, and completely bad-ass. Wish we could get back to those days.
mhh i dunno, i like the old games, but they were rly just one note.
still very fun tho
Hate to break it to you, but we've already had, like, seven GoW games set in Greek mythology. Did you mean Egyptian mythology...in your headline?
wait wait wait wait. Greek Mythology? wtf? Why are why are we going back?
edit: Supposedly it's a spinoff and its metriodvania style????? SIGN ME UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tom Henderson and Jeff Grubb suggest a 2.5D Metroidvania-style God of War spin-off is in development, set in Greece before Kratos becomes a god.
And not in a good way! GOW 2018 was not what I was expecting either, and it blew me away! However this is like a popcorn fart in church.
I wouldn't mind playing that, I'm guessing somewhat in the vein of Prince Of Persia:TLC but hopefully with better graphics.
2.5D can be done in many different ways. It could be as simple as a size scrolling game with 3D backgrounds
🤔 Interesting. Nothing wrong with switching it up to a different genre of game for a side project. Hope they don't try to do that to a main entry.
