PlayStation Official PS | PS Studios Megathread, v.8

[Valhoven]

I really like the art style and colors in this, it's very otherworldly. It reminds of the strong/clean contrasting palette of Mirror's edge, easy on the eyes. It has some cool lore too, something I always love.

I was never big into games like Destiny and Warframe. I'm not sure what the genre is called, but I don't like repeating the same missions over and over again, but both had cool lore, and from an FPS controls point of view, Destiny is one of the best IMO.

If they're going to do a PVE/PVP thing, I'm glad they didn't make another Destiny. Arc Raiders sounds really cool to me, is it going to play like that?

Pretty sure that’s exactly how it plays conceptually including enviro hazards but with dedicated classes for team composition + strat, something people are saying makes Marathon play feel unique, deep. Thief class looks absolutely gangster, for example.

I delight in the game palette too. Crazy pop and flare. The cinematics and universe + interior details (of rooms and lighting) have been off the charts creative, too.

What’s up with all this talk about Sony not porting games to PC anymore? This because of the Xbox handheld playing PS games via Steam? Maybe it’s about protecting their IP from competition and also poor PC sales overall? Wouldn’t be upset my that. Maybe the Nintendo model is the best. Cut down on budgets for games and rely on sales through loyal PS customers. Saros costing 70 million and ghost of Yotei 80 million is probably a safe spot to make a great looking game without fear of needing to sell a 5 million copies to break even. I would support this move honestly. Just can’t be doing many 200 plus million games unless it’s god of war or spidey

I think Jason Schreier recently said Sony is aiming to put the genie back in the bottle, essentially, further entrenching PS dominance in what’s already been working. Now it’s trending.

I just hope the traversal and gunplay are good or it’s a pass from me! ^

Anyone going to try Marathon? Server slam is up. Over 120,000 players on Steam already within an hour. That’s a pretty good sign. Hope the servers are stable. It would be nice for Sony to have a big hit after Concord failure

Yep going to try it out after I get off work. Watched a stream and it looks just like arc raiders while solving all the problems I had with Arc Raiders.

Yea looks like this is happening everyone is confirming now. The guy who leaked Xbox going full third party and releasing a hybrid PC console before anyone else also claimed it's happening. Live service stuff will still go but big SP titles are off the table. We will know for sure if they don't announce Yotei by next year.

From what the leakers said sales have been lackluster and they just aren't seeing the draw to their games that they wanted while taking a hit to the value of their console. I'm sure Xbox's upcoming hybrid and the Steam machine also helped push this decision as well.

pretty much every streamer whether they like it or not has complimented the gunplay. Which isn't surprising. Bungie's gunplay hasn't been beat IMO.
