PlayStation Official PS | PS Studios Megathread, v.6

I was reading and paused, thinking, well, of course Mark knows Japanese, lol. Sure, why not. And contractual language at that – tougher in any language. Dude is eccentric and brilliant.

He was a big reason I picked up the Pro on day one. At this point I trust he won’t put out garbage. Glad he’s doing PS6 as well

Anyone else picking this up over Elden Ring Nightreign since they release on the same day?

I will be. But I was never buying Nightreign, so it is kind of a cheat

February 24th, 2017 will mark 8 years since Hollow Knight released. Where is Silk Song?? I miss that world.

Couldn't find the Crimson Desert thread but some new videos have dropped. (@Valhoven feel free to move if you find it)



These are from an updated build

Not surprised: Players love a brand synonymous with quality! 2.49B in s/w sales and counting:



Total Software Sales Sold Surpasses 2.49 Billion On PlayStation 4 & PlayStation 5 Consoles!

Attn Werewolves: Extended Play sales event is live.

Massive. Almost 800 games and DLCs in particular have price reductions from 20-80% that I saw.

New OS Beta incoming but looks like there's not really much to it at the minute

I don't do physical for Capcom but I think this game is worth it for hardcore hunters; looks epic. You going physical? Steelbooks are gangster, IMO. Would love some pics from you if you go steelbook.

Saros descends:



Saros is coming to PlayStation 5, and enhanced for PlayStation 5 Pro in 2026.

What editors do you go physical ?

Personally, it's games I have a sentimentality towards or a journey that got me through something in my life. FromSoftware, though, is a developer-level commitment that I'm a disc hound for; the journeys are unforgettable to me. I'm also 100 physical for Sniper Elite series from CI games but only titles pre-2017. Most physical are one-off titles, however. Not having Wild Hunt (Witcher 3) physical would be criminal, for example; the scoring in Velen alone will be with me the rest of my life.

Cool to see below 3 terms defined per Yoshida, especially after reading a few days ago his thoughts on AA being more or less dead or rather a grey space: there's indie, and AAA only for studio survivability, he'd said.

Former PlayStation boss Shuhei Yoshida outlined the internal PlayStation terminology when it comes to "first party", "second party" and "third party exclusive" titles!

• First party: Sony owned IP published by SIE, including Sony IP games developed by external companies.
• Second party: Games funded/ co-funded and published by SIE, but IP is not owned by Sony.
• Third party exclusive: Exclusive titles not published by SIE. PlayStation refer to as "Partner titles"

Casual discussion here on the IconEra board about a PS5 second coming we're seeing atop already market highs.

Crux of it is as NVIDIA GPU costs rise, the deal you're getting with the PS5 is a strong one; more importantly, that Chinese productions like Wukong and Lost Souls Aside are more and more seeing Chinese adoption of the PS5 for play, slingshotting PS5 sales.

Relevant bit:

...While Game Science may not have been a AAA studio before the release of Wukong, it certainly is now. The release of the game has also sent gaming console sales through the roof, specifically Sony’s PlayStation 5 (PS5). Local vendors and gamers report a surge in demand for the PS5, as it offers an affordable alternative for those unable to purchase expensive Nvidia 40-series graphics cards for their PCs. Many retailers are selling out of PS5s, with the console reportedly selling twice as quickly as its predecessor, the PS4.

Signed up for the closed beta already. This looks way better than the last one. It looks like the gameplay from the Sega all stars franchise but with all Sonic characters and worlds

Were you able to get into the beta? Played some this morning, it's fun and the visuals are nice. Try to get used to all the speed gimmicks which has me losing quite a bit.

Fun game design insight: (time to watch: 30s)

Smart from Sony to prep amidst economic uncertainty courtesy of Zube:



Sony Will Respond To US Tariffs By:

• Duplicating Supply Chains

• Higher Stock Levels To US

• Increased Supply Chain Flexibility (Some PS5s Could Be Manufactured In Japan)

I tried the closed beta for Killing Floor 3 a few days and damnit they took the easy to jump into fun game of Killing Floor 2 and overcomplicated it. It ran pretty rough too which is concerning since it's out later next month unless they delay it.

Killing Floor 2 is a game I never expected to put so much hours in but it's mindless fun. Hopefully they take the feedback from the 3 beta and turn it around asap as alot of the feedback seemed to echo mine.
