I’m going back and forth LOL - I do this with so many games, “decide” I’m not going to buy it and then preorder at the last minute. We’ll see but I’ll probably just get it. If I don’t have a ton of time for it until later, oh well.
Looks like there’s a sale going on at Amazon on physical PS5 games. Almost every big exclusive is $30. Death Standing 2 is $50.
I pre-ordered the digital deluxe edition for Ghost of Yotei but don’t know when I’ll be playing it as im still playing through Borderlands 4 100+ hours later. Perhaps I’ll get to Yotei in January but not sure.
I’ve played a couple hours, it’s a really cool game! I didn’t play Tsushima so I can’t speak to how similar or improved it might be. The only thing I’m not really vibing with is all the Dual Sense gimmicks, just not my thing.
I loved Tsushima as it was my 2020 game of the year. I can already agree with the Dual Sense gimmick stuff as I didn’t like swiping the touch pad in Tsushima for the wind to show me the direction I needed to go in.
Will see how I like and enjoy Yotei when the time comes. lol

I’ve been hearing some Yotei spoilers and I guess I can understand why IGN finally got triggered to do that “I’m Getting Bored of Every PlayStation Game Telling the Same Story” article.

You can imagine the reactions to this elsewhere.
“Mark Cerny created RDNA5 for AMD” and so on

Mark Cerny created the GPU, computers had no way of displaying video before Mark Cerny showed them the way.

I am curious what will be the selling hardware argument of ps6
For ps5 it was clearly the “magic” SSD

I feel like this video today was put out so the PlayStation faithful can start using all the buzz words like when ps5 was announced. Wait till we get just the logo at ces in January it’s gonna be crazy

Mark Cerny has a particular talent for coming across as incredibly patronising whilst saying nothing of any actual substance. It’s bad enough when he’s talking about actualised hardware, even worse in this as it’s all throetical.

“Executives aren’t your friends” “All millionaires can’t be trusted” “They’re just spokesmen, not real gamers”
Always funny to see those sentiments disappear like tears in rain when Mark Cerny gets trotted out.

He’s the worst snake oil salesman when it comes to hawking his wares; Molyneux would be proud with the amount of hyperbolic bullshit spun for what often ends up as unused vaporware for most of it.
Anyone thinking that Sony is uniquely “assisting” AMD after PSSR needs to get their head checked.

Unfortunately there seems to be a lot of them out there. Mostly just for clicks I guess.

Yep particularly when quite obviously Microsoft would have the strongest possible relationship with all PC component manufacturers as their OS is what practically every single one runs on.
I’d actually have more respect for his “genius” if he actually used it to see how far he could push the bullshit - can he get Sony fanboys to believe a magic pixie lives in the exhaust fan, or the APU gives you special fuzzy feelings in your brain, or the SSD is a super special one that no one but Sony can do, twice as fast and capable of things no SSD has ever done or will ever do again.
Oh he already did that last one…

I got to say, it’s been a while since first party company or mainly here publish a headline news on sales count, let alone player count. HD2 seems to be the last one. Not saying their games aren’t selling well, but what is the accomplishment status as of now. I don’t want analyst, I want numbers.

Microsoft literally, and verifiably, does have a better relationship with AMD and we’ve seen a myriad of custom hardware as a result over the last decade alone; in fact, Microsoft has these things they make called computers and they provide the world’s most used OS, so they have a pretty large base that requires a pretty tight-knit relationship with the chip manufacturers that far eclipse any need/capability of Sony or their user base. In fact, it’s that very point (that I’ve been right on again and again, recall XSX specs being inarguably better than PS5 despite a certain duck-like mod on another place banning me for arguing… in favor of reality.)
This is not to say that MS doesn’t have its own share of snake oil from time to time, or that they also haven’t made a myriad of mistakes (they have done their fair share of both, just stating reality when it comes to results). Finally, as AMD supplies chips for multiple partners, future Sony hardware will benefit from the architectural developments that arise from Xbox/AMD partners and vice versa, it’s literally how iterative hardware development works (but you never see the media parade around Xbox despite helping pioneer a bevy of the same advancements.)
