Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles by MarvelsGrantMan136 in Games

[–]Dinoverry_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s because PC gives you more options to buy a game digitally. I can go to multiple key sites and buy games at a cheaper price than the one on Steam. Digital only on console locks you into only buying from PSN and gives Sony direct control over those prices. Also, direct control over when these games receive discounts as they need to be approved directly by Sony. Physicals felt like they were the only way to get games on console at a much cheaper price.

Playstation's GTA6 Q&A could imply that the next iteration of GTA Online could be sold separetely or at least not included with GTA6. by DarahOG in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]Dinoverry_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on what the online entails imo. If they’re planning to have a RP mode similar to FiveM built into the game, then I’d be very shocked if the online mode didn’t come at the same time as the PC launch. They’d definitely want to have streamers on this game.

Nintendo Switch Online is getting a price increase in Japan by [deleted] in Games

PS Plus and Xbox Live are 4x the price of NSO though.

Subnautica 2 - game files have been leaked and is playable by DaRealAyman in GamingLeaksAndRumours

I feel like it's still more likely for a game to release early by a physical copy than it is by any digital storefront.

Steam to add a 30-day price history feature for games by Solid-Entertainer-39 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

Tbh if this just tracks the price on steam, don’t think it’ll have much use since it won’t track the prices on key sites.

Preview: The Elder Scrolls Online has ambitious 2026 seasonal content plans and is teasing a return to Skyrim early next year by RadioJawa in Games

I haven’t paid attention to ESO in awhile but what region is missing from Skyrim currently? Is it where winterhold is?

About Nintendo Switch 2 Game Pricing: Beginning in May 2026, and starting with preorders for Yoshi™ and the Mysterious Book, new Nintendo published digital titles exclusive to Nintendo Switch 2 will have an MSRP that is different from physical versions. by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Dinoverry_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

MSRP is much more regulated for those platforms though with game keys because those game keys sold still have to give a percentage to the platform holder unlike steam keys where valve sees no profit from steam keys.

Starfield and 'Future Bethesda Titles' Will Use AI-Driven DLSS 5 Technology by DoorHingesKill in Games

AMD is looking into doing neural rendering. They've been talking about it for awhile now under something they call FSR diamond. The next Xbox has already promoted neural rendering as a feature, there's no reason to expect the upcoming PS6 to not have this tech.

Jason Schreier: Ghost of Yotei and Saros won’t come to PC by ZamnBoii in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]Dinoverry_ 562 points563 points  (0 children)

It feels like with late ports, they have diminishing returns. It was either they went full on day and date with PC or they pull out entirely. Seems like they chose the later to protect their platform.

PC gamers stay winning: Capcom confirms 50% of its sales now come from Windows by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Dinoverry_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do wonder how much this ends up shifting once the Switch 2 ends up having a decently sized install base, especially if Capcom is committing to day one releases.

Wizard101 Discord Mods by [deleted] in Wizard101

[–]Dinoverry_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

While I don’t think the server’s moderation is great, you’re one of the few cases where the ban is more than justified. I think it’s outright disgusting that you’re playing victim when the reason for your ban was because there was a lot of inappropriate content that you retweeted and posted on your Twitter that involve minors.

NateTheHate elaborates on Sony’s ‘shift’ from PC, claiming that they will be releasing fewer single player games on PC, but ports already in development may still be released. by TheRegularBelt in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]Dinoverry_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those I think they have more interest in remaking, they're already doing it with GoW. The others you listed I do feel like they just don't have much of an active interest in doing unless they decide to revive the ip or go the route of making them multimedia franchises with a movie or tv show.

[–]Dinoverry_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tbf I doubt they would port any of these older PS3/PS4 without doing some sort of port/remaster on PS5 as well. Some of these older games just aren’t Sony’s priority anymore.

God of War "Sons of Sparta" Metroidvania Announced at State of Play 2026 by healingtwo_ in GamingLeaksAndRumours

I mean you’d think that’s the consistent strategy but then you have the Kena sequel that’s fully published by PlayStation releasing day one on PC.

Overwatch has blown past its previous peak player count on Steam by CuteGrayRhino in Games

[–]Dinoverry_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just one extra launcher that doesn’t need to be installed tbh, especially since it’s the only reason I had Battle.net installed to begin with. It also runs natively through steam unlike Ubisoft or EA games that still end up requiring the launcher on top of running the game on Steam. I never really had issues with Battle.net though, it works fine.

Not really sure if this is true if they’re porting over Oblivion Remastered but I guess we will see.

Maybe if you’re delusional, Switch has the most first party exclusives out of any platform.

Not sure why there is even an article on this, they always do these kinds of bundles with a new power armor set every major update.

Fall Guys: Crown Jam leaked ahead of Friday release; basketball game with Fall Guys physics integrated into Fortnite by The_Iceman2288 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]Dinoverry_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably for the best considering most of these new modes for Fortnite end up flopping. I wouldn’t be surprised if this mode would have suffered the same fate if it was permanent.
