I agree. I'd be surprised if Sony isn't working on it for PlayStation. Not like a PSP or Vita, but a handheld with an 8" screen that can play ps4/5/6 games.

Or maybe they should make a better Remote Play app. The current one is really bad.

I like Switch, just needs a bit more juice imo. OLED screen is actually super lit. Literally and figuratively.

They can't, too busy whining about Call of Duty

For a system that's made its foothold in the console industry with heavy exclusive leverage, I find it fudging hilarious that they're crying this hard about Microsoft owning a multiplatform publisher. Eat crap, you fudging pussies.

Eh, I know people who only play Call of Duty. None play it on Xbox. It's sort of a valid complaint????

Sony can always bring back Socom, or pay for exclusivity with EA's Battlefield series. Or have EA bring back Medal of honor. Or lure Tom Clancy's estate away from Ubisoft.

If COD is all people play, they aren't making much money for Sony anyway.

What is funny about this whole thing. Is Microsoft for years has been saying all games should be on everything. And everyone should be able to play how they want. But then their actions say otherwise. Every studio they've bought has been turned exclusive. Sure doesn't seem like you want people playing on other platforms.

Microsoft brought Minecraft to all systems and made all systems cross platform playable (other than Sony because of course they didn't want it). I don't feel strongly either way, if Microsoft sorts Blizzard's crap that's a net positive for everyone, and I don't like Sony acting like they give a crap about games being available for everyone. It was refreshing to see the head fella finally say it straight, he just doesn't want MS to acquire Actiblizz. Was that so hard?

They’ll sink it like the titanic. Say hi to halo and fable down there on the ocean floor.

I couldn't give a crap either way about CoD going exclusive either, don't play those games.

Also no they didn't. Minecraft was already on everything by the time it was bought. They bought it five months after it was released on all platforms. They bought it in September of 2014. The last system for it to release on was PS3 (at this point it was now on everything), which was in May of 2014. They didn't do anything to help spread it around. And every purchase after that was made exclusive instantly. Just like Sony has done. The only difference is Sony is not out there saying "we want you to have options, we want you to play this were you want". And then not letting that actually happen. Which is what I find the funny part. That people eat that crap up and believe it. When its not actually the case. What they really mean is, on your xbox or Microsoft PC.

Spencer was saying before they bought Zenimax that they wouldn't make those games exclusive. Then as soon as it was finalized they announced they would be exclusive. Not that it matters to me, I own both systems. More than happy to play the next ES or Fallout on Xbox. But its funny people give them a pass on this and just dog on Sony. When they are both crapty companies. Doing crapty things. And they both only give a crap about their own eco-systems. Yet one gets a pass for being more friendly and doing more to advance blah blah blah. When in actuality neither is doing anything great.

And of course he doesn't want to see that. They end up losing out. Just like Microsoft wouldn't want to see Sony with them. Because then they lose out. If you ran a business that made money off another business. And then your competitor comes along and puts and end to that. You'd be upset too. Microsoft would be doing the same thing if the roles were reversed. People act like these giant ass corporations are on their side. They don't give a crap about you. They just want your money. Which is why all the fanboy crap has always confused me. People act like the system they like more is some how superior ethically or some crap. Its almost like a cult mentality.

And the funniest part is people praising Spencer for making 10 year deals with Nintendo to bring CoD to Switch. Who the fudge is playing CoD on switch? And now they've made a 10 year deal with some mobile/cloud company in Japan so people can play CoD on their phones. In Japan. Come on. That isn't a jab? To a market that doesn't really play CoD. And the home of Sony. While its extremely funny, I'll admit. Its a bit odd people are using this to say "see it wont be exclusive".

So now that I've gotten my semi-annual fudge this industry rant out of the way. I think I'll go take a walk.

I don't care where Call of Duty goes, but I'm still bitter about Bethesda and would hate to see Blizzard stop making cross-platform games. Starfield and The Elder Scrolls VI were going to be on all platforms before Microsoft bought out Bethesda, and I would much rather play them on my PS5 with haptic feedback and trophies. Also, the buyout probably means we won't see Fallout 4 or Elder Scrolls VI on PSVR2, which is really disappointing. If the Diablo games go exclusive to Microsoft as well, I'm going to be super annoyed, as that's one of my all-time favorite franchises.

I was kind of bummed about Starfield because I love space games. But I'm also kind of tired of Bethesda games and was already worried it would be too like their other games. I have loved many past Bethesda games, but they're all so similar now. Diablo too... I'll still play them but they feel like the same old thing.

Microsoft definitely sucks, though. Nothing new there. They have a long history of business tactics that are bad for consumers. Also, Bill Gates was Epstein's buddy and his wife dumped him because of it. I hate how the media treats Gates like some kind of genius. His genius was copying other's tech combined with brutal anti-competitive business practices.

Sony, on the other hand, is perfect and never does anything bad, ever, ever, ever.

Bill gates is the dude that followed Steve Jobs around at parties and pretended like they were buds. Those were the good ole days.

Will people even be playing COD in ten years? I'd say that's a pretty generous offer. There's a good shot that Microsoft's Xbox won't even be a platform by then. To me that's just about as good as an indefinite agreement to not keep crap exclusive as you can get these days. It's more than Sony's ever given for their crap.

But you're right, it doesn't matter. The Mario Kart tablet's better than either console if you've got a PC and don't mind playing the older, cuter version of DeS and both Microsoft and Sony are looking to squeeze every drop of blood from the stones that they can. Frankly I was just looking forward to Bobby Kotick getting removed from his position, but something tells me that's not a guarantee either way. If it's approved, I hope things change, but if it's not, nothing will change. The latter has no positives to me. So I do still hope it goes through, but if it doesn't I guess we have more great crap to look forward to, like Warcraft 3 Reforged and Overwatch 2. Stealing breast milk from fridges (Blizzard just made their WFH employees start coming back to the office, fridges must finally be empty), that sorta good crap.

Finally put some time into Miles Morales and it's pretty good. I'm having a real tough time not seeing this as just killer DLC though. The same map, general mechanics, a few types of collectibles to power up skills, etc.. Everything is well done and it's fun but having played the snot out of Spiderman on PS4, this has been a little underwhelming.

The story was more nuanced, perhaps.

I thought it was much more polished feeling. Flowed much better in combat. Too short. Better music.

My RE4 is being delivered today. I'm gonna wait on actually playing it till I beat Hobo Cat Adventures and Wo Long.

Pretty damn excited for RE4.

Me too. Mine arrives tonight but I got 4 chapters left to finish first in A Plague Tale Requiem.

Mine should be here tomorrow, but I can’t decide whether to play it right away or wait until the VR mode comes out.

I just watched the Digital Foundry review and there is a dead zone issue with the controls, more so on the Xbox version, causing a timing delay. That is unfortunate and can be why the controls felt so weird during the demo. Looks like Capcom will need to patch to fix this issue.

How a game gets scored 10/10… nm I get it. I’m going into this one skeptical AF.

I adore RE4. It's my all time favorite RE game and even I wouldn't give it a 10/10, especially with all those technical issues that DF found out. I'd say 9/10 max for me.

I played it at launch for GC- liked it but never considered it one of the greatest games. Haven’t played through it since but nothing about it screamed 10. Interested to see how they improved it. Trophy set looks awful too so I’ll likely just blast through it.

Haven't been playing much remote PS5 play from my PC lately ... just fired it up for some RE4. Made me update PS Play, and now my Dual Sense won't connect (using DSX). Anyone else have issues here? I've reconnected via Bluetooth, updated firmware, reinstalled PS App ... no dice. Controller works in DSX without issue, appears to be a PS App thing.

Chiaki appears to work just fine though, excep that using the touch pad is required for this game (inventory) ... and that doesn't work via Chiaki. Crap.

I cannot get the TouchPad to work in Chiaki for RE4. Every other game works but it. All it does is open the map though, which can be accessed via Triangle and L1, L1 over. Annoying but it works.

It worked once but that was it.

So weird ... same thing, touch pad worked once and not again! Using triangle for now.

Still wanna know why PS Remote Play not working.

You might have to update the remote play app, I had to update it recently.

OK. So I may have figured it out. I was playing on the actual PS5 then immediately swapped to Chiaki4deck and it worked. Not sure if there is any correlation right now though.

I know it's technically a PS4 game, but since that forum is closed and I'm playing it on my PS5...

I'm finally playing through God of War 2016. I started it years ago and only got about an hour in. I don't know why I stopped, but I was waiting to get a PS5 to play again. Anyway, I'm playing it now, and it's...ok.

My biggest complaint is Atreus. I am a teacher, so I hear disrespectful kids all day every day. My own kids question and challenge everything (especially the teenagers). Here I am (Kratos), a literal God, and this kid is talking back, giving attitude, and thinks he knows everything. If Kratos can't get respect, what chance do I have?

Kratos is a killing machine but then needs to be a nurturing parent. Not likely to go well, and Atreus fully represents that. Kratos being able to crush skulls but not deal with parenting is on brand.

See the Blackburn (movie) for how this could end up.

Or how about, do as I say BECAUSE I'M A F*CKING GOD!

R-Type Final 3 Evolved 4/25 anyone gonna get it?

I finished Ninja Turtles (NES) finally... first time!!! I replayed it when I bought the collection and played through until the last boss and maybe its because I was mentally done but I saved and stopped. Did not touch it until I played through I finished Ninja Turtles Arcade and Bam! done. I never beat it on NES, it's taken decades but the game has been beaten!!!

Tournament Fighters is TUFFFFF

Anyone playing Megaman Battle Network? Picked up my copy on PS4 today,
