I think it will get a digital release as Series S is listed. I also would prefer not to deal with Limited runâs long timetable for doing things.

Whatâs happening ? I legitimately donât know.
Sonyâs clearly doing well right now, so Iâm hesitant to second guess. But Iâm just not sure that this is the healthy long term play. The console audience to me is the audience of yesterday - and I say that acknowledging that I am included in that. Younger players are gravitating to PC and away from closed console ecosystems. When it comes to a franchise like Ghost or Astrobot, doubling down on console exclusivity is just committing to keep selling to that shrinking console audience and not expanding to younger players. Itâs what Square is realizing with Final Fantasy - meeting players where they already are is what grows a franchise audience over time.
Thatâs just my interpretation - Iâm just some dude who likes to play games on console, not an executive or industry analyst. So from a personal standpoint Iâm fine to continue to be a part of the niche audience theyâre marketing PlayStation consoles and exclusive games to.

Wolverine is not Sonys IP lol. If Disney says jump!, Sony asks how high.

Sucks, hope itâs not a 100% pull back but more on a case by case basis, i understand the risks of porting everything can be high when the word of mouth ends up being âbut everything from Sony is just going to PCâ
Specially now that more and more money comes from having people on your Store more than from selling games, subscriptions and MTX are the big moneymakers nowadays and they got the chance to grow their console player base if they convince the Xbox One/Series buyers to stay on console.
But at the same time itâs funny because games like Intergalactic have close to no chance to be profitable by themselves by releasing on just 1 platform, so Sony will have to lose money with some of their first party games so people get their console and pay to play online and buy the typical Fifa MTX, these are the times we are in right now.

Bit late to start pulling back from PC ports (or just having longer delays until them) - theyâve ported practically everything now.
And with their output now, oh no as a PC player I might miss out on a whole one or two games a year! /s

If itâs true what Iâm reading about a preview event of Crimson Desert where people got to play six hoursâŚ.it sounds pretty crazy. As in, their reaction is insanely positive, dare I say overly positive but I hope we got a winner on our hands here. We shall learn soon. Well, their impressions that is.

Iâm still cautious about it, not that theyâre faking anything, but things that you can only have an idea of while playing, like how itâs structured and the storytelling and everything of that sort.

I agree completely with you. And you can have tons of amazing gameplay systems and what not and it can be fun while it lastsâŚ.if the story or quests just donât hit or more like flat out suckâŚ..well, that would be a shame.
Iâm also very curious how it looks and runs on base consoles overall because weâve only see a few bits. I wouldnât mind XSX footage.

This⌠after Sony accelerated their PS5-to-PC release schedule with their two most recent PC releases, including the reveal that Death Stranding 2 will release less than eight months after its PS5 release. But Iâm sure that fact, coupled with the abysmal PS5 software sales being buoyed by Xbox and PC will totally convince shareholders thatâs a genius decision and isnât incredibly short-sighted, as well as running counter to every metric/forecast in the industry (again, working memory and a modicum of intelligence does a lot in this world).
Iâm sure this will turn out as accurate as his tantrum-laden âPS5 specs will be superior to Xbox Series X and the git leaks are all bullshitâ stance /s

Ultimately bad for player choice. However, I bet xbox loves this. Means less of a chance ps makes a pc store. So one less competitor to deal with there.
Second, xboxâs play anywhere feature on pc/console/handheld will continue to stand on its own.

Iâm not against people making money. But somehow the fact that it wasnât just that they thought they were so talented they couldnât fail, but they also had dollar signs in their eyes and were convinced they were going to get rich off of microtransctions, makes the whole thing even worse.
