Why is nobody talking about the PS5 anymore? - Reader's Feature
A reader worries that Sony's strange behaviour over the last few years has seen the PS5 become sidelined and ignored compared to other formats. For years now, I've been reading people, both here and elsewhere online, asking what has happened to Sony and why they're acting the way they do now. The lack of showcases, the general lack of communication, the obsession with live service games, and the reduction in new single-player games… it's obvious to everyone and yet we've never had an explanation or an acknowledgement from Sony that anything unusual is happening. I think it's pretty obvious that we're not going to get one either. Sony are just going to carry on being weird and pretending that's what they were always like. They've been like this for well over two years now, so anyone buying a PlayStation 5 in that time will never know anything else. There is a problem though – well there's multiple, obviously – but the thing I can't help but notice at the moment is how little people talk about the PlayStation 5 anymore. The Switch 2 is eating up a lot of bandwidth right now but it's not just that. The PlayStation 5 feels played out, a disappointment and unexciting, just part of the gaming furniture and nothing more. The Switch 2 launch is coming up, but people have been talking excitedly about it for months now. A new console is obviously a rare thing, that's always going to draw attention, but the PC as a gaming format has also been a big topic for the last year or so. It's far more popular than I have ever known and now seems to be the default format for games, rather than any console. That's the position the PlayStation 5 should have but it's not really how it's turned out. You could argue even the Xbox has been more a topic of conversation recently, even if that's in a negative way. But at least people don't forget it exists. It looks like we probably won't get a PlayStation showcase this month, since they've already missed their usual May slot, and the rumours say maybe not one until September. That's ridiculous. Not only do we know virtually nothing about Ghost Of Yōtei, but there's nothing confirmed for next year yet, except Saros (had to look up that spelling). Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet and Marvel's Wolverine don't have any year confirmed yet and that's all we know about in terms of games made by Sony themselves. I'm not going to speculate on why this is happening or when it might end, because frankly I haven't got a clue, but I do know that it's having a very negative effect on PlayStation's reputation, in a way people aren't talking about enough. The PlayStation 5 just seems invisible now, something that's always there but which nobody cares about and definitely something nobody is excited about. Will this change if they announce a new game? Well, it didn't with Ghost Of Yōtei. You could say that's not really their biggest franchise, and you'd be right, but the longer Sony carries on in zombie mode the harder it is going to be to get anyone's attention. It won't be long before it needs The Last Of Us Part 3 or God Of War 3 before there's any kind of a reaction, but I don't see those games happening anytime soon. Sony is so out of touch they think fans will wait forever for whatever news they can be bothered to tell us, and then we'll be amazed and excited, but I don't think that's true anymore. More Trending The PlayStation 6 seems to be only a year away and the sad thing is that means the PlayStation 5 is just going to fade away, forgotten and underused. How can a console be this successful and yet be such an utter failure and disappointment at the same time? I wouldn't have thought it possible and yet here we are.

Games Inbox: Is there going to be a PS5 State of Play this summer?
The Thursday letters page worries what will happen if the new Marvel games are flops, as one reader laments the slow death of physical games. To join in with the discussions yourself email gamecentral@ Summer schedule I really hope that Sony is planning to make more first party games but I have a feeling there's no going back to how things were. It's been too long and too much has changed, including Sony still selling tons of PlayStation 5s even without any proper exclusives and Xbox going multiformat. I think it's reasonable to hope they will do more though. We can't stop them making any more live service games but they do seem to at least be slowing down a bit. The problem is that slowing up doesn't mean they'll speed up with single-player games instead. They could just end up making less overall, like they have over the last few years. We've got Ghost Of Yōtei this year, which I'm not super excited about (I'd had enough of the last one by halfway through) but I am very interested in seeing Returnal follow-up Saros next year, so hopefully things are slowly turning around. I want to be optimistic, but the problem is there's no sign of Sony having a not-E3 State of Play showcase this summer. The past two years they've had it at the end of May and I think we've probably gone past the point they were going to announce it if it was happening. I hope I'm wrong, or maybe it's later in June for some reason, but it doesn't look good. RaeBonn Your story is another castle I see the Super Mario Bros. Movie sequel has had its name leaked as Super Mario World. I'm not sure your average Joe is going to get that reference, but would they actually bother doing an adaptation of the game's story? Does the game even have a story? I've beaten it twice and I honestly can't remember. Looking at Wikipedia, apparently it was all in the manual and basically Bowser kidnapped Peach and some dinosaur eggs. There's so little to work with I really have no idea what direction any of these films could do to justify themselves as anything other than a cash-in. The Paper Mario games are the only ones with an actual plot, but even then that's not what's good about them. Austin Risky business I've got a bad feeling about these upcoming Marvel games. I imagine Wolverine will be fine, but that Iron Man game will be almost two decades too late by the time it comes out. And I can't believe many people are interested in a Captain America and Black Panther team-up set in World War 2. Normally I'd just shrug my shoulders and write it off as an incoming flop but nowadays that means the whole studio could go down and how many hundreds of people are working on these two games? I'm not exaggerating either. Consider what happened to Firaxis after the (excellent) Midnight Suns flopped. All the lead developers left, the studio was fractured (I don't think it was a coincidence that Civilization 7 was a rare dud), and now we'll never get an XCOM 3. I don't know these developers behind Iron Man and the other one as well, but I do know that lots of jobs are now in danger, just because EA was late jumping on a bandwagon. Cerates Email your comments to: gamecentral@ Reliable reputation Glad to hear GC got Power Stone back and I like the sound of all the effort Capcom put into the collection and the reasonable price. I've never really been into fighting games, so it's not really of interest to me. But it Does make me think better of Capcom, for when something else I am interested in comes up. I wish this was something other publishers thought of, especially as Capcom is doing so well, financially speaking, at the moment. But unfortunately EA and Activision, and even Ubisoft to a degree, just rely on their big franchises and don't really put out much else anyway. Sony is another example of doing this well, because their reputation for first party games really wasn't that great until the PlayStation 4. They just built it up and became someone to rely on. Them throwing that all away now is so strange. Griefer Money issue I've been thinking for a while now about this, but Sony could take Xbox out the console market with just one sentence. You can put Game Pass on PlayStation. There wouldn't be any need for an Xbox and we know Phil wants it on there. Why Sony won't do that I'll never know. It's a win/win for Sony. You never know, Sony might allow them sooner or later and Xbox can go the way of Sega, just with a hell of a lot more money and just to make games. David GC: They won't do it because they make more money selling games on their store. Although they may change their mind in time, because they've begun to make more selling microtransactions than actual games. And another thing You know, I have been witnessing quite a bit of clamour over the last few days. More or less a lot of complaining and quite a stir of negativity. I've seen GTA 6 fall surprisingly prey to this. Either people have issues with the inevitably violent content, the sex or the aged fable of controversy. My take is my bond and I say that I gladly welcome the gratuitous violence, the sex, and the glory glitz of Leonida. Because I've waited over 12 years for an evolution and no echoes of bemusement will deter me from my course of securing the collector's edition as soon as possible. If that includes a statue or early access I will be immensely satisfied. My second point is the Nintendo Switch 2. I've already mentioned that I secured the Mario Kart World bundle from Amazon and I acknowledge the bricking controversy. But modding isn't my cup of tea, so Nintendo has nothing to worry about. I'd rather emulate PlayStation 2 games anyway. Thirdly, the PlayStation 6. It matters not the price, storage, exclusives or specs. I'm buying this system, as I did the PlayStation 5. Day one. If it arrives in 2027, the merrier it is for me. I will very much take great stride in playing Horizon Zero Dawn 3 and many other titles. Shahzaib Sadiq Mum's the word I was wondering when we might get some concrete thoughts about the Switch 2 launch games? Is there an embargo about when Switch 2 games are able to be reviewed? Or perhaps there is an embargo on when you can talk about an embargo, nothing from Nintendo would surprise me. Mark GC: There's always an embargo on when we can talk about an embargo, but especially when it involves Nintendo. Facing defeat I know the war was lost long ago (shops stopping second-hand games was the end, as far as I see it) but it is so tragic to see how small a part of gaming physical copies are now. I don't know anyone, amongst my friends or family, that buys physical copies anymore and what would be the point anyway, when they're not even stored on the disc?. Perhaps it was inevitable, since even if the initial game is on the disc it gets distorted and expanded by updates the second you put it in a console but it's the fact that there's literally no benefit to digital. People talk about convenience but what convenience? Not having to change discs is just silly and lazy. And it takes time to buy a physical copy? I could drive to the shops and back quicker that it takes me to download a modern game. Not that I'm in the habit of paying out £60 on a whim, that I suddenly decide I have to have a new game right then and there. Gaming got infinitely more expensive as soon as it became more difficult to sell on your games, especially with eBay's new payment rules. But apparently nobody cares. Maybe everyone else is a millionaire all of a sudden, and I didn't get the memo, but the death of physical is just handing more control to publishers and taking more cash out of the wallets of ordinary people. Rufus Inbox also-ransJust watched the Borderlands movie on Amazon. It's no Fallout or The Last Of Us but it's not that bad. I particularly liked Jack Black as the annoying android Claptrap. They should make a Brütal Legend movie – it would have a great soundtrack. Think I will check out the Like A Dragon movie next. Johnny Alpha SD Currently playing: Doom Eternal and Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 Thanks for the heads-up on Very, I managed to get my bundle with a camera so I'm very excited now. I went back and checked and it's still live though, which seems weird given no one else has any stock at all.

Ghost Of Yōtei this week is where PlayStation officially gave up
A reader is unimpressed by the way in which Sony unveiled Ghost Of Yōtei's release date and feels it hints at a grim future for PlayStation. We all know that Sony has been acting strange for years now. We got about two normal years out of them, when the PlayStation 5 first launched, and then they basically went crazy. Suddenly all they were talking about were live service games, then they stopped talking about anything at all, and then they stopped releasing anything either. There were basically no big PlayStation first party games last year. Yes, they had Astro Bot, which won lots of awards, but it didn't sell all that well and by Sony's own words was not a major release. This year is just as bad. We're at the end of April and the only things they've had out are an ultra expensive The Last Of Us compilation and Days Gone Remastered. The only thing they've got coming up is Death Stranding 2 (which they didn't make, so isn't really first party) and, so we learned this week, Ghost Of Yōtei in October. We haven't heard anything about Ghost Of Yōtei since last year and then this week we got a new trailer, a release date, and pre-order details. How was this unveiled? Via a new State of Play? Or maybe a showcase dedicated to the game? At least it must've been a part of some other preview show, right? No, they had a tweet. And then later there was a short PlayStation Blog. That's it. I'm just sick of this. Why is Sony like this now? Why do they seem to hate being a games publisher? Why do they hate talking to their fans so much? Why do they love doing nothing instead? Everything is a minimum effort. The announcements, the number of games coming out, the way everything is presented… it's a bizarre mix of laziness, arrogance, and a total lack of energy. I don't know what it is Sony execs would rather be doing, but it's certainly not selling video games. How Sony got like this is a mystery but it's hardly the most important one. The real question is are they ever going to get out of this weird funk they've put themselves into and if not what happens next? If Microsoft hadn't imploded before them then PlayStation would've been in real trouble but instead they've been rewarded for their incompetence and laziness with the easiest ride in gaming. Yes, Nintendo is going to beat them with the Switch 2, that much is obvious, but Nintendo doesn't do what Sony does. Gaming cannot just be Nintendo and PCs. Or maybe it can? Maybe Sony's inaction is pushing us towards that one format future that at one time seemed so desirable. I don't think it is, because Sony is living proof of what happens when you have no competition, but I think it's going to happen anyway. My prediction is that Nintendo will continue to be a success doing its own thing, but that PC will continue to gain ground until Sony just quietly give up on consoles and go third party like Xbox. I imagine it'll be a slow decline, that gradually begins to seem inevitable until, like Xbox, in the end nobody really cares all that much. More Trending It'll be a sad, pathetic end for PlayStation, but it'll be no less than Sony deserves based on their recent inaction. I wish it wasn't true, but I really can't see any other way this is going to end. By reader Ashton Marley The reader's features do not necessarily represent the views of GameCentral or Metro.

Games Inbox: Is The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered overrated?
Suddenly everyone remembers they like Oblivion (Bethesda) The Thursday letters page hopes that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is the success it deserves to be, as a reader tries to puzzle out Ghost Of Yōtei's release date. To join in with the discussions yourself email gamecentral@ Nostalgia is the answer I don't understand the rapturous reception to The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion remaster. It's the same game we've all played before, with a nice new lick of paint and some mechanical tune-ups. Are people misunderstanding it to be a full remake with updated content? Am I misunderstanding and it actually is that? I've very recently returned to modern gaming after a fair amount of time out playing retro consoles instead, so I'm a bit out of the loop, but I expected widespread condemnation of Bethesda yet again asking fans to pay for a game they've already bought. The general response I'm seeing out there though, more measured comments in Wednesday's Inbox apart, seems to be one of utter delight. Theresa May was the Prime Minister when that Elder Scrolls 6 teaser was released, surely a lot of fans would rather Bethesda spend their money on getting that game done than regurgitating old content, but the response to the remaster seems to send the opposite message. Charlie GC: Well, for starters Bethesda didn't really make it; they farmed out most of the work to Virtuos. It's not quite a remake but it is one of the most substantial remasters we've ever seen. That said, we do agree it's odd in that we've barely heard anyone ever mention the game in the last 10 years or more. Maybe that's part of the reason: it got forgotten and people are now happy to be reminded of it. What's wrong with this face? RE: Bosley's submission to the Inbox and their disappointment with Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion's facial animations. The best I've seen so far in a game are there in L.A. Noire. I'm pretty sure that an engine was designed around it but that went belly up when Team Bondi fell out with Rockstar. I'm not too sure about the ins and outs of it all. It's still mighty impressive to this very day and we are about 14 years down the line now. Surely, we can expect better by this (my) idiot's estimation of unfathomable tech. I'm starting to think it's some kind of conspiracy at this point. It all just looked and felt so organic. It still holds up. D Dubya GC: We'd say there's plenty that have surpassed L.A. Noire by now, including the likes of The Last Of Us, Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League, Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, and Mortal Kombat 1. Although anything's better than Bethesda's facial animation. Support the change you want to see Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 always looked good, but I don't think many expected the universal high praise it's receiving. It looks and sounds very interesting. It's caused me to pre-oder it on PlayStation 5 and I have it downloading now, ready for the weekend. Although I have a ridiculously long wishlist, and back catalogue of ridiculously good games to already play or buy, I do try to support the things I want more of in the industry with day one buys like I did with Astro Bot, Silent Hill 2, and Stellar Blade last year. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is the sort of quality, unique double-A-like game at a sensible price we need more of. I felt a bit guilty with the price in all honesty. It's £45 in the PSN store but a combination of a 10% PS Plus discount and ShopTo PSN vouchers it cost me £35.62. It's also day one on Game Pass. Simundo GC: That kind of stuff doesn't matter; the developer will still get the same cut. Email your comments to: gamecentral@ A month out I lucked out on securing an Argos pre-order for the Switch 2 and Mario Kart World bundle a couple of weeks ago and have since sold my Switch and PlayStation 5 to fund it (and a pre-order of Donkey Kong Bananza). This means I have no means of playing video games until June 5th, seeing as I've also let my Netflix subscription expire and am living my gaming life through GC's content and eagerly awaiting the next nuggets of info on the Switch 2 and its games. After last week's Mario Kart World Direct, have Nintendo announced whether there will be any more Directs before the Switch 2 release date? I wonder if they plan on having a not-E3 Direct this year, as that'd usually land the week of/after the Switch 2 launch but I'm not sure they'd want to distract any publicity away from the new console launch. Especially if it's as successful as Japan's My Nintendo lottery suggests it might be. Hubert GC: They haven't said anything yet, but their not-E3 Direct is usually happens in the third week of June. The question is whether they keep that date or have one or more before it. Either way, unless they've got a secret Christmas game, we don't think they're going to announce any other major first party titles this year. Maybe if there was some evidence that they'd been shaken by fan backlash, but we don't see any real sign of that. Public demand Hang on, Nintendo has had 2.2 million pre-order requests in Japan? And the previous best was the PlayStation 2 at less than 1 million? That is a staggering number, no wonder they ran out of stock. I know Nintendo has made some odd mistakes with the reveal, but I don't think any of them are very serious and, at least in Japan, this thing is going to be huge. And if it's huge there I can't imagine it's going to be anything close to a flop in the US or Europe. With so much misery still in the games industry, in terms of how it treats its developers and its brainless short-sightedness over things like live service titles, we need a win, and everyone should hope the Switch 2 is a hit. GTA 6 too. Ashton Marley Alternate dimensions Just want to say to Charlie H in Wednesday's inbox, if they 'must' go for a Mario sports game, I'd personally go with Mario Golf: Super Rush. Or if you can stomach a lot to remember (in a way) the Tokyo Olympics game with Sonic – though it's not worth full price in my eyes. Also, and I know this will be a hot take, but I'd grab Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury or Wonder over Odyssey – but that's based on a few things. I personally found Odyssey way too big and never really got on with it (I'm a heathen, I know!); Wonder however is obviously 2D and is pure-old-school-with-a-new-twist platforming perfection. That said, if you like a real challenge in a 3D platforming world, go for either of those two – Odyssey, I believe, is harder overall. So really, pick your style – 2D or 3D! Can always buy one first and then get another later! Andy F. GC: We agree Super Rush is the best of the sports games. They're all fine, but none are great. Insider knowledge So I guess there's two possibilities with Ghost Of Yōtei's release date: Sony is taking a risk about GTA 6/don't care about it or Sony know GTA 6 isn't out in October. Considering how weird they've been all generation I'm not sure that's an easy guess to make, but I've got to plump for the idea that they know. So do they know it's another month in the autumn or do they know it's delayed? There's no way to guess but I find it easy to believe the rumours about Sony having a marketing deal with the game and that there'll be bundles with the PS5 Pro. So I think they know. Whether they'll do anything sensible with the information remains to be seen. Gabbo Sweet week It is truly one of the most savoury weeks in gaming history. We've had a shadow release of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, which has released on Steam, Xbox Game Pass, and PlayStation. I'm currently using the second option and it is everything we desired it to be. The majesty of Unreal Engine 5 is honestly what was needed for Starfield. We see that looking like a 2008 release and out of nowhere, Cyrodill is a majestic beauty. Hopefully this is Bethesda teasing us, with the usage of this engine for the Elder Scrolls 6. Heaven knows we need it. We've also seen the debut JRPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 release to stellar reviews and a reasonable price tag. 92 on Metacritic currently, which is just a miracle. I've already installed it, from Game Pass, and I'm just raring to dive into this world. Just as soon as I've wrapped up Oblivion. Thirdly, the US is opening up pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2, when the clock strikes midnight. It's long overdue, factoring Trump's tariffs causing a delay. I hope to see many citizens securing their pre-orders tonight. When I secured mine, it was without the luxury of a pre-set time. At least the US has that heads-up, to know when to be ready and present. Lastly, Sony have literally conjured up a cocktail of excitement, surprise, and confusion. Ghost Of Yōtei has been officially announced, for October 2025. With no fanfare or even a showcase announcement. That's baffling to say the least. You unveil a deeply anticipated sequel, and the release date is just handed to us, like that. I'm absolutely pumping my fist and I'm slightly worried it'll be overshadowed by the release of Grand Theft Auto 6, since that's apparently scheduled for an autumn release and I possibly can see Sucker Punch making a mistake with this. We saw it with Elden Ring and Horizon Forbidden West. It was released at the worst time possible. So, this may turn out to be quite an interesting time of the year. All in all, we've been spoiled rich this week and it's a fantastic time to be a gamer, or a lover of gaming. Shahzaib Sadiq GC: It wouldn't have been Sucker Punch's decision; it would be Sony's. Inbox also-rans So what is the betting that there'll be a new F-Zero game on Switch 2? We already have the GameCube game coming, so is that just throwing us a bone or a sing of things to come? Noah Just finished Indiana Jones And The Great Circle and loved it, even though the ending wasn't the best. Is there any DLC planned? I saw there's a secret ending, that I didn't get myself, that seems to hint at it. Billy GC: Yes, there'll be at least one slice of story DLC, called The Order Of Giants.

Ghost Of Yōtei release date announced and it's a big risk for Sony
Sony has announced the release date for the sequel to Ghost Of Tsushima, and it could be in the firing line of GTA 6. We've heard nothing about Ghost Of Yōtei since its original reveal in September last year, but Sony has now dropped a release date out of the blue. The sequel to Ghost Of Tsushima, developed by Sucker Punch, is set to launch on October 2, 2025. It is one of only two confirmed PlayStation 5 exclusives for this year, with the other being Death Stranding 2: On The Beach by third party studio Kojima Productions. A new trailer has arrived alongside the announcement, which highlights the backstory behind new protagonist Atsu. She is on the hunt for the Yōtei Six (The Snake, The Oni, The Kitsune, The Spider, The Dragon, and Lord Saito), who killed her family and left her for dead 16 years prior. As noted in a PlayStation blog post, players will be able to choose which Yōtei member to pursue first, or chase down other dangerous targets to claim bounties and learn new skills. The Ghost Of Yōtei standard edition costs £69.99, and you'll receive a unique in-game mask and seven PSN avatars if you pre-order. A deluxe edition, priced at £79.99, includes snake armour, digital deluxe armour dye, an in-game charm, gold sword kit, and an early unlock for Traveler's Maps, which enable you to find statues to upgrade your skills. A massive collector's edition will also be available in select regions through PlayStation Direct, although it's yet to be priced. This edition comes with all of the above, along with a replicas of Atsu's Ghost mask and sash, along with a replica of the Tsuba from Atsu's katana. So it's going to be £100+ Pre-orders are set to open on May 2, 2025. Although it almost certainly will end up on PC eventually, that's not been announced yet and probably won't arrive until next autumn at the earliest. While the October release date makes sense to avoid Death Stranding 2, it's only just over a week after the launch of Bungie's shooter Marathon on September 23 across PlayStation 5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S. More Trending The big question is whether this could put Ghost Of Yōtei in the blast radius of GTA 6, which is slated to come out in autumn 2025. We already know many developers are scrambling to avoid Rockstar's juggernaut, so it's strange that Sony is not. Whether that indicates foolhardiness or the fact that they know when it's going to be released (and therefore it isn't October) is impossible to say. It's also unclear if Sony has any other games up its sleeve for 2025, but recent rumours suggested a new God Of War set in Greece could launch this year as well.
