Nice that they’re finally adding more permanent series to the Builders Cup. I was surprised when that wasn’t how it worked from the start.
Cool if true.
Edit: Apparently a misquote. Never mind then lol
So, Wukong was made to be available only on Sony because of exclusivity. What a twist.
Makes all the “it was Series S fault” BS funnier in hindsight. Most knew the deal from the beginning. This has been Sony’s MO since the PS1 and always will be.
It’s still Series S fault. The price hike? Series S fault.
It feels like Sony saw Xbox getting a toehold in China and Korea esp with Blizzard and went into hyperdrive on moneyhatting. Sucks the mainstream journos are too busy hypothesizing about Xbox’s “doom” to check into this actually anticonsumer move
They probably heard about Genshin and thought, “Shit! They’re about to get their support too!?” It was bad enough for CoD profit go mostly to Xbox, they don’t want to divide them further with other games.
Why bother, so much easier to just kick the Series S and then move on to the next article defending Concord.
Wow the Sony fans are not liking those stories - suddenly now they’re agreeing with us that “leakers” chasing clout are a bad thing.
However given the number of major sites picking it up this seems more than that, and they’re not taking it well - in the PushSquare article both above and below the line for example, particularly many comments saying Paul Tassi is known to favour Xbox which is news to me as someone who used to follow him!
So the rumor is that the PS5 Pro will be digital only (probably to cut costs), is this the end of the physical format? Is Sony killing physical game collections? Because I don’t see much drama about that rumor.
Imran Khan pretty much corroborated it on era, IGN as well. Crazy and seems super unprofessional on game science to delay a game that was already announced like a month before release by accepting an exclusivity deal. Not only that trying to blame it on the series s like wtf
If that’s true, it almost makes me want to subscribe to DF’s Patreon just to watch John Linneman shit a brick.
Wait, so it’s canceled now? What about that memory leak issue? And the fact the dev said Xbox version is still coming, just delayed?
I should of said delayed not cancelled but yeah they had the game ready to release and delayed it because of exclusivity deal
OK, thanks for clarifying that.
I’ll give them their due, the PushSquare lot were up in arms about it despite it being pointed out it’ll likely work with the detachable add-on drive that’s available for the Slim and being done to keep costs down.
If I do ever get one I’d be fine with it as I only own 2 physical PS4 games now after giving my cousin all my others - and it’s cheaper to buy those two again digitally than buy the drive.
What I really find amusing is VGC did at least clarify this 35 teraflops or whatever they’re saying isn’t directly comparable due to RDNA4 so it’s actually equivalent to 17 teraflops this gen - a detail conveniently left out on many PS sites like PushSquare
Sony is known for doing this. Heck Stellar Blade was announced for xbox, and then Sony paid to cancel it. Sony doesn’t want xbox to gain any traction in asian markets outside of Japan, which is why they’re doing these moves in both Korea and China
Super unprofessional seems to be Game Science’s MO
