Who knows. But the lack of first party support meant that the current one was a no buy for me. If you don't support your own product, don't expect huge sales. I didn't buy it. Not even a Spider-Man game that would have helped sales. That's a huge IP. And gamers reacted positively from the second, free Spider-Man experience on PSVR that wasn't even made in-house from any Sony PlayStation developers. Nope. Nothing. Sony made billions this generation. Nope. No support for VR ...

They aren't forcing anything on you. Only a fool would think that. It's an option like anything else in gaming. You want more immersion? VR does that.

The problem is that big companies didn't take a risk but expected VR to sell gangbusters. That's not how it works. You need games. VR isn't dead when millions are using it from gaming to manufacturing to education to construction, science, etc. You're just ignorant on what's going on. It's not...

Sony doesn't own the game. It's Valve's game. Valve made the game to get users to use Steam. Just like they made Steam Boxes or the Steam Deck or the Index to get users onto their PC platform.

What Sony should have done was get Insomniac to make Spider-Man for VR. Or, TLofU. Or some big franchise they own converted to VR. Sony should have been more concerned on how to sell the headset besides GT7. The best games on PSVR aren't even compatible with PS VR 2. ...

It was basically theft to keep Sony from using the tech of the camera by throwing money at it. Dr Marks was working with the company and the tech and had video demonstrations proving it. Microsoft threw money at it knowing Sony was looking for the next motion control after eye toy. Dr Marks showed early move control with a wand. And early z camera gaming.

Microsoft, through smoke and mirrors, hyper it up to be the next thing after seeing Nintendo's success and tried to ...

Your take on it is ridiculous. Cell block is right on the money on this. Those games were guaranteed to be coming to PlayStation as third party games. Microsoft spent 80 billion at least which is not an everyday acquisition. That was consolidation and monopolization to try and get gamers to their platform. But it didn't work as gamers are locked in to their PlayStation accounts and aren't going to leave to Xbox.

But there was no way those games, and the developers w...

I thought it looked great. Why does a Japanese style, Silent Hill spin off, need to look like an American story with an American looking person in an American looking city?

It's a Japanese psychological horror game and a spin off from the others. They are offering something new and something different than what was before and the remake that just came out. There shouldn't be any complaints when gamers keep asking for something new. There isn't any picture takin...

It's war. Halo needs to go harder and grittier. Destructible objects and bloodier. A story reboot and a vicious enemy. A new gameplay loop that's savage and fun.

It needs another developer with better ideas. The franchise is dying under its current leadership. Used to have respect for the game. And the LAN multiplayer. Microsoft has all that money and just wasting the potential of a game that used to rival cinema in dollars.

Just sad. Don't br...

Complete and well deserved butt whipping. Don't put in the effort, don't win the game.

Who do you believe paid for all that propaganda through advertising dollars, kickbacks and swag bags of free stuff?

EGM throwing tomatoes at the PS3 on their cover and advertising from Microsoft. The system that had everything you needed included with full BC. That cost less than if you included everything for Xbox 360.

Eurogamer and their bias towards Microsoft and downplaying Sony games. Game Trailers lying through their game videos about Sony's g...

The obvious take is that Microsoft got their ass whooped again and again. It wasn't for the lack of being feisty. Microsoft tried every tactic from buying exclusives, launching first, attacking Sony for not doing cross play, launching with a low priced system that couldn't handle current Gen games, buying up publishers, etc.

But the thing was, as Microsoft out it themselves, Sony has PSN that locked in customers to their platform. They weren't stealing shit if ...

Could have put Ninja 5-0 in there. It's like Shinobi meets Bionic Commando.

But still no GTA San Andreas VR that was announced a long time ago and shelved. LA Noire case files VR was pretty good by them. I hope Rockstar brings out something VR related with this developer. They are already experienced at it.

Looks so good that I'd buy it twice to get more games like it.

That would scare the daylights out of flat screen gamers. Make them rage across the Internet like they did for Alyx. Praising the mod community for taking out the immersion that makes Alyx what it is. They'll say VR needs big games and exclusives. But then complain when it gets them. Like the recent Batman game.

So, the best choice would be a hybrid game like GT7 or RE8 where you get to choose how you get to play it. The ones who don't play it in VR would just lose ...

You are actually correct but they're not going to listen to you. I've given up trying on this site. They don't understand that most online games are now service games. I've said the same thing you're telling them now. Make it like the old days and these guys will complain that there's no new content or road map for the old style online multiplayer. Even Sony's flagship game Gran Turismo is an online service game. They sell items, they add new cars and tracks and it...

This fool article writer must be bitter that Sony is getting games inspired by India, China, Korea, South America, etc. That's what India Hero, China Hero, etc is about. Bringing new games and developers to the platform that one day, may grow into the next Naughty Dog, Capcom, Namco.

Reminds me of a game on Neo Geo called Midnight Wanderers. And that's a good thing for this developer's first time out.

How can they be starving when the competition has to port their games to PlayStation to make a buck because their own system can't be given away. More games just adds to the pot of Sony's domination.

Comment section is ridiculous. Redemption is giving the actual truth about the franchise and is being ignored. The franchise sold worse on every sequel. If the game was supported, it would still be around like Ratchet and Clank. You didn't buy it. Sales showed it was better for Insomniac and Sony to move on.

Some harp on the fact that Insomniac is making Spider-Man. But Spider-Man was chosen by THEM to make when asked and the rest is history. The franchise sold tens of ...

But no Burnout since you bought the competition to kill their game. And what's left of Criterion who stayed, were put to make your game need for speed. Don't care what ways it comes back. It's EA. No buy.

He's still true on what he said above. Microsoft bit off more than they can chew spending an unheard of 70+ billion dollars. And the result is damn near full multiplatform support putting first party games on Sony's system. Microsoft's main goal in entering the console business was to beat Sony at their own game because they thought Sony was a threat to their PC software. The result was getting their ass whooped 4 times in a row. Even at Sony's lowest point in pushing Blu-ray ...
