I’ve been trying to play prodeus for the last 3 days, but keep getting the message that I don’t own the game. All other gamepass games work fine. Anybody else have this issue?

Three year deal between EA and Marvel sounds great to me. Iron Man should be amazing since they have the blueprint for flight and whatnot with Anthem. Black Panther rumor sounds good and I wonder what the third game will be. Either way, give me more!! :joy:

The Game Awards is 5 weeks away from this Thursday so that would be my bet. Expecting that, a gameplay trailer for Perfect Dark and a Diablo IV release date trailer.

I dont know about diablo 4 release date. I do think we see perfect dark news redfall release and i think we see either starfield or avowed

I just rolled credits on this one, releases on Thursday. Keep any eye out for the review. Can’t say anything else but, just keep an eye out for the review.

Ooh looks cool, physics-based gameplay/puzzles?

Guys, also remember that Redfall was originally planned for this last summer, so it makes sense to get a release date SšŸ‘€Nā„¢.

Jokes aside, right now, my bet would also be an announcement at the Game Awards.

The absolute state of the video game industry right now.

Distant third Xbox has to pussy foot about, trying desperately not to appear like it’ll ever be anything but distant third. Meanwhile Sony pays companies to keep their games PlayStation console exclusive, then - now you have no choice - puts the price up. Record profits! How wonderful! Best Q2 ever! Oh joy and rapture! All the fanboys come out of hiding, and I use that word lightly, to w*nk themselves silly over such overwhelming dominance of the market.

I couldn’t care less whether Activision Blizzard ends up an Xbox Studio. I play precisely none of their games and I’m happy with what Xbox offers me already. But this struggle to maintain the status quo of PlayStation being market leader, regardless of how shite they may act, is hypocrisy at its finest.

End rant.

Playstation did not have record profits. They declined by 50 percent YoY. Maybe margins would be better if they would release PC ports day 1 and reduced money hatting? Just a suggestion :smiley:

My rant would be this: all the gaming persons are only concerned about profitability of Game Pass when Playstation is barely scraping by with a less than 6% operating margin. Now that should be a concern!

Did you even see Sony gaming financial results ?

  • Sony raised console prices
  • Sony raised the price of games to 70 $
  • They introduced a new expensive Plus subscription
  • They released old popular games like God of war and Spider-Man to pc

After all these factors, they are down - 50% of their profits

Wow, 50% drop is crazy. How big drop did Xbox have?

I mean yep, it’s weird and disingenuous af and we’ve been talking about it here for a while.

Apparently for accounting of ā€œhigher development costs and acquisitions.ā€

Never knew they account for acquisitions in that, I’m pretty sure Xbox for one doesn’t. Possibly because SIE acts somewhat as subsidiary within Sony and have their own acquisition budgets?

ā€œPS Plus members totaled 45.4M in the quarter ending September, down from 47.2M last year.ā€ Does anyone know if the new PS PLUS, or some level of service, is available on PC?

It’s not. That said woof.

Yep, for cloud streaming. Since PSNow has been merged with PS+ it’s required to subscribe to PS+ Premium to play cloud games on PC and they have an app for it.

The game is being sold at a full price. PS just not having good news today. Lucky for them, reviews for GOWR is later this week, because today is just cursed.
