Wonder if it bricks the system so you have to go out and buy a PS5?

I was tempted to get the Pro model but the fact that it is 700 bucks and you still gotta buy the disc drive which is pretty much unobtainium unless you wanna play scalper prices.

From what I've read they occasional do updates for new Blu-Rays that get released.

If you already have a PS5. You are better off waiting for a PS6 in late 2027 or 2028.

700 dollars is ridiculous. Though who knows how much PS6 would be especially with the tariffs?

700 plus a disc drive is a joke for a Pro model. Hopefully this isn't a sign of things to come with almost pc prices for future consoles.

It will likely be no similar competition for PS by that point, so unfortunately they could get away with a lot with how much day 1 buyers are prepared to pay for next gen (even without scalpers Fing things up). I bet they are salivating over their spreadsheets trying to model how best to fleece everyone. It's going to sell out, however many million units x an extra 100 or 200 dollars more than normal makes the gen much more attractive for them than previously, right from the start. Could be a long time before prices drop to reasonable levels.

I just dont get the point of so many companies hyping about their AI tool, when plenty of people aren't really into AI in the first place.

 

[Teelie]

It's the latest technological fad and there's way too much chasing fads rather than finding what actually works.

 

[henzINNIT]

It's also a fad that potentially culls a lot of expensive human developers, so studios are very keen.

 

[XtremelyBaneful]

I mean the Digimon game looks cool

I loved playing through both of the previous Cyber sleuth games so I'm very hyped for this next one.

Although, I hate the ending of the first one. In fact, I hate it so much, that I hated it more than the ending of Me3. And that's the worst ending of all time next to Game of thrones.

Good. Maybe never announce it and immediatly stop production on it. Focus on something that's not saturated and destined to fail.

Whatever happened to that rumoured Venom game from Insomniac?

Whatever happened to that rumoured Venom game from Insomniac?

I mean we only knew about it cuz of the leaks and who knows if it's still being developed or not.

 

[Superhero 101]

Pretty sure it got cancelled I have a feeling Wolverine might end up the same

 

[psylockolussus]

Venom seems like an easy sell. Videogame industry is brutal.
