Thanks for covering the blu-ray story. When so many outlets carry the same misinformation, I have to wonder if it's being coordinated from somewhere.

News: movie has lost 100% viewers after 5 WEEKS with NO SIGN of RECOVERY!

7:16 On helldivers, I couldn’t agree more. You don’t hear articles for to shows or movies being like it lost 90% of it’s viewership after a month

Astro playroom 2nd puzzle is out(ssd speedway-Deep Dataspace) on the July 5th update.

Name a better way to spend 30 minutes on Friday mornings.

I love how your footage of Helldivers 2 is just an "Accidental" reel of Helldivers killing each other. Amazing haha

Helldrives 2 having less player was gonna happen because a online games can't be number 1 forever

The big difference about HD2 is that is not a free to play game so it's not like this news are trying to frame it. It succeded in what they pretended.

I’m hoping Astrobot succeeds. Not only could it pave huge things for a huge return of mascot style games. Astrobot had a 3 year dev cycle including proto-typing. Demonstrating insane development efficiency at incredibly low costs. This could be huge for adaptations, since I believe something teased was for Astrobot as well. And speaking of adaptations, if they redo Horizon approach, I hope it's a CGI Show like Arcane or Trigun Stampede. The budget of Arcane was is far lower at $90m, for expressive characters and beautiful animation. I think such a gorgeous world would be better captured in animation. Same with God of War personally. As for Hell Divers 2, not only have we seen the impact of a well received expansion can have on Active player activity of Live Service games like Destiny 2 or FFXIV. If Helldivers 2 gets a substantial expansion or update, such a thing can happen for it as well. Hell, I think a Starship Troopers styled adaptation gets announced for Hell Divers 2, which could very well stimulate player return and volume As for the Bluray drama, it was all misinformation. I can’t see them dumping physical units because there are too many rural territories with inconsistent and poor connectivity. Like you said, maybe that changes by the time of PS7. But they still have to take that into account.

Who watches without even owning either of consoles? (I hope I could get a Ps5 soon)

Happy Friday!

The last comsole i buy is when they stop making physical media

Mystic, just wanted to say thank you for all your consistent efforts bringing us great content! Keep up the fantastic work ❤

Tokyo Game Show for PS is the reveal of the PSX, a PS5 with a Monitor built in and the reveal of the PS5 Pro and some games.

Never been here so soon after the video release =)

I played HD2 almost everyday (not kidding I loved the game) and after the PSN required rule on PC I could see we lost a lot of players. Also, after so many flaws from the devs (bugs and nerfs), I can see they are slowing down the content for the game. So, right now we can feel a lack of content and this results in repetitive missions and nothing to do with the Samples/Medals. I believe the game will survive for many years but they need to focus on fixing a lot of bugs first and adding new content in the meantime.

It seems that in the end listening to Mark Cerny, was the right idea, compared to the Xbox marketing department.

I play HD2 on PS5. The player drop really occurred after the "need to sign up for PSN" for PC players. Many of my "friends" I met while playing HD2 stopped playing after that and have not returned.

Me with the PSP: Hmmm yeah PS5 news yes yes good

Happy 4th of July week, Ryan! Great news upload and breakdown as always

Sony should have Sony Pictures do a big budget Horizon movie. For GoW the Norse games actually showed you don’t necessarily need big budget spectacle, character-driven and well written Kratos storytelling alone can make for a compelling series, they just need the right writers.

Dang, I was hoping Astro Bot was gonna be M. I guess I'll cancel my 20 pre-orders then, sigh.....

28:43 Ayyyy that's ME!!!

Lmao how we all thought last week that PS Stars was mere hours from coming back, another whole week has passed and still isn’t back 😂

Honestly ps5 and seriesX are so close in performance that it doesn't matter. Just get the platform that has the games you wanna play

I think FreeBSD is just a better OS for lower overhead than a gimped version of Windows that is on the Xbox. It has to be one of the important factors at least.

My god I hope they make Decon st. John and Sam Briges figures🙏 and hopefully the quality will be top notch.

A ton of journalists are unable to do their job properly, scrambling after clicks instead of writing an actual article is a huge issue within the industry.

The Helldivers 2 situation can't be terrible, it didn't even go on sale for the steam summer sale.

Happy Friday everyone and oh have a great weekend.

Wow, it really is Friday, July 5th!

Paul tassi just truly bothers me

The helldivers 2 player count news came out during a slow news week. It was really silly.

You're looking fit and healthy, Ryan. Appreciate your videos as always.

PS Stars still isn’t working in the UK. What’s taking PlayStation so long?

Nobody listened to Cerny even DF.... It's weird they tried to summarize it as just better tools when almost every pipeline in the PS5 system is just more efficient and has the right optimization DF was trumpeting the raw tf performance of the series x for years but ignoring the split ram pool which has 40 percent of it's ram on a slower interface, and then when their non main hosts started benchmarking it was undeniable the series x constantly had more stuttering issues, one of the worst offenders was cod streaming between areas even within the same level And even just to point out, even pre-release of PS5 developers were constantly saying they were surprised how powerful the PS5 was and were saying it was more powerful than the Series X... and it was youtubers like DF who didn't believe them, even more popular KZfaqrs like Linus (but Linus is a full scam artist so he should be ignored at all times anyway), channels like DF always depend on this "they just have to learn the system" when studios absolutely do not spend time doing this anymore, it simply takes way more time to develop games, they aren't going to go out of their way to optimize specific systems anymore whether it is consoles or PC, they are far, far more spending time making content now, not the specific system optimizations If a game is using less than 10 gb ram so it's only on purely the faster ram like halo mcc then series x is perfect but anything trying to use more than that is a bad idea because of the split pool, so it's the newer games which struggle on series x the most DF was also one of the biggest channels to try to say series s would not hamstring the generation for Xbox when it is very clear it does so The tools part is just ironic bc df like every else assumed Sony has worse software "because Microsoft is a software company" not understanding Microsoft is an enterprise software company not a consumer one, they have sidelined Xbox so much it's not even funny anymore and you can feel like while using a modern Xbox today I now own a series x and 2 actually for system link purposes and even just using the system the UI is terrible and you can feel the windows like stuttering in the system and the menus are even all the same settings options as a windows 10 or 11 machine it is literally windows dressed up as a console and 360 never felt like that even, never owned an Xbone so I didn't realize how bad it got with their console ui last thing phil spencer and DF mutually leaned into heavily was the RDNA2.5/RDNA3 features (i forget which was new at the time) unreleased on PC.... and one big one was having a newer pipeline, and also VRS or variable rate shading, but it never sounded performance beneficial to me even at the time, and now the review of VRS/variable rate shading because it is at the end of the rendering pipeline it's really barely saving any performance at all, i dont even know any of my PC games running on my 4090 which would benefit from such a thing at all, phil spencer of all people leaned in the most and assumed his "generational win" on the basis of the higher TF count (revealed in the microsoft leaks during the UK court decision to buy ActiBlizz).... everything about the Series X was just advertising and fakeouts, while other companies like Sony do the hard work behind the scenes to actually make the optimizations which make a difference (kraken decompression, unified speed system RAM, GPU boost modes to capture frame dips before they happen, etc)

What game is playing at 14:17

good... a horizon movie can not work... unless its the most expensive move ever made... and netflix has a very bad track record of movies...

Ryan, with more and more talks about emulation/backwards compatibility on PS3 games. What does that mean to a game like Warhawk? It was online only

Is refreshing hear a person that actually read the news and try to get the true of it, and not just clickbait people for views with mongering titles. Im talking about the patent and the jobs cuts on the disc factory

Helldiver's 2 got boring fast.

I really enjoy these videos :D

1:51 I got that Aloy figure and it's amazing, the amount of accessories it has is awesome, several faces, hands, and weapons. It's quality isn't awesome, it's like a marvel legends. But the details and articulation is great. I'll grab that Jin Sakai figure, probably it's good too.

I am kind of relieved they aren’t doing the horizon show. Netflix hasn’t shown they don’t know how to properly adapt IP to live action

Thank for weekly Playstation news!

I’m not sure how often you get this or at all; but could I pay you to future proof a backwards compatible PS3? I was lucky enough to acquire one for a good price. It works beautifully but using it terrifies me. I’ve called local game stores in my area who offer repairs but none of them can help me.

I wish we could get a Wipeout anime movie, or TV series. There was so much compelling lore and worldbuilding with that franchise, it would make for something awesome. It could center around a young British woman as the protagonist who is a rookie Feisar pilot. A new Wipeout game for PS5 would be awesome too I hope that Gravity Rush 2 PS5 Remaster rumor is actually true. I would hope Team Asobi would be working on that, alongside Astro Bot

7:21 In other news there is a giant glowing ball of burning gas in the sky... 😂 Gaming media. SMH.

A Frank West episode of LTPS 🔥🔥 dr dr HYPE

My main theory is that due to the low clock speed the SX can't create triangles fast enough to fully utilize its CU's whereas PS5 creates triangles more than fast enough to fully utilize its CU's meaning te SX as a pretty nasty bottleneck there.

It makes sense for Helldivers 2 to have a big dropoff of players after being so successful, but I also think people neglect to mention that the game is extremely buggy and plagued with balancing issues that haven't been meaningfully addressed. I stopped playing last week because I simply got frustrated. The game needs proper maintenance if it wants to hold onto a loyal playerbase.

If they add new content then numbers will likely double. The game is a great multi.

"Bespoke in the here and now." You sure can tell when someone has been binging DF recently. 😹

Very interesting that Sony's last TGS was in 2019 and they're returning in 2024, basically the entirety of Jim Ryan's tenure as CEO they didn't attend. Maybe this is a sign that the new management is more open to going to trade shows again.

You say 6000 Ps4 games were made? When I google it they say 10,500 Ps4 games were made . Either way thats alot of backward compatibility for the ps5 .😳

Blu rays and CDs still exist, and those have been primarily digital for years.

Bro what's that ps3 game with dual wield pistols, I forgot that game

The scripts from a story based game should be used and faithful to a live movie or series. The production should be painstakingly detailed and recreated including choices of actors and acting of course.

I am in Thailand , and Ps Stars Still not working.

I personally believe that when making a game for Xbox, their focus was making it running on Series S first. Then from that build they add things here or there to boost graphic or resolutions. Game would have run better if it's focused only on Series X.

did I miss something or why did the figurines say Playstation 6?

Helldivers 2 is still pulling more players that that abysmal failure called Starfield. 9K peak player count in the last 24hrs

Some. Meaning not all, right?

Ryan.. Microsoft has been playing the game of boasting "higher specs or some GPU advantage" since the first Xbox in 2001... it's just marketing... not real videogames and I know cause I purchased the first Xbox and stopped at Xbox One X. The latter I mentioned barely got supported and it's always Microsoft that keeps insisting on when next gen jumps happen since they joined that's why it is also better to use a Sony PS5 for videogsmes... Oh an PC... that's a money trap.

Ya this shit with helldivers 2 losing players is a joke imo no we all expected helldivers 2 to hold a 500,000 player base forever lol what a joke honestly journalists these days are nothing but a joke

It's that time again baby! LTPS Lets Go!

I love hell divers 2😢 but my ps5 disc drive failed well on my portal!

I cannot order the figures on Gears just fyi!

The issue is there’s fanboys working and writing for these big media publications..

The PS5 was built around delivering higher frame rates, while the Xbox was built around delivering sharper resolution

Saints Row 5? Probs referring to "2022" reboot but renamed in other territories

Hey mystic, why game pass is better than the playstation essentials

Tell that to Lego Skywalker saga. The screen tearing and frame drops kill me

The totakus look better than the new ones

So why does Xbox have a lot more of games that run at 120 FPS

Why do people seem to think a "PS5 Pro" is coming out? That's all I ever see trending on social media, yet I've not seen any official word, or even any evidence of it. Other than people who have an "uncle who works for Sony"... Why would they release a Pro, when they are full into PS6 development, and have announced to expect less AAA games this generation. I don't know about you, but that doesn't make me want a more powerful system. I can already run most games at 60fps, and when games are looking as beautiful as Astro Bot, GOW, Ratchet & Clank, TLOU2, and so on..why would we need anything. Oh,and I'd expect the PS6 out in three years, going by the 7 year console life,

Foam stars runs great on my ps5

I hope PS3 backward would become true in the future... Also, I'm looking forward to seeing what Sony will present in TGS! Thanks as always, Ryan! Your weekly coverage of PS news is awesome 👌 ❤

I stopped playing Helldivers 2 because I already got the Platinum and there’s no much new exciting activities for me. It was hell of a game 😄

I miss Dan Greenawald.

Frank West

This reduction of CPU clock speed could be used to emulate PS3 games

cerny went straight to talk with the devs while xbox did the 2006 ps3 thing and tried to add the best components to end with a console that has to struggle with their own software, and if that wasn't enough to give devs a headache, they also released a console that is a quarter of the power the bigger console has and you have to make your game run in both consoles with the same content or you can't release your game in their store. lmao

CAN WE GET Finally SLY RATCHET AND JAK FIGURES????

Oh no, people who played Helldivers 2 on launch and enjoyed the shit out of it for a good few months are slowing down to probably just playing it once a week. I know when it came out I was playing it almost every day with my mates but as with ANY game that won’t last, it’s unrealistic to expect huge updates every week and other games are coming out/requiring attention. Sick of the “game is dead” narrative.

Still amazes me how ps5 don't bring a update out for ultrawide screens upto 32.9 for games they bring out 1440p so shouldn't be issue running the ultrawide. The ps5 games releases on pc have ultrawide support yet they don't even give the option on their on consoles is dumb. Wouldn't be hard for devs either to add the option into there games as pc already have it.

Ryan, PS5 NEVER holds higher dynamic res. Df even said in the exact Direct podcast its usually higher res

Figurine collection video when?

DF could have done a better job trying to explain why PS5 is more often than not faster then X. IMo is the reverse situation of xbox360 and PS3. Clearly Cerny learnt from previos mistakes and PS4 design was akin to xbox360, single and fast memory pool, faster GPU units albeit in less quantities to keep the console cool. Weirdly enough MS team decided to go with a PS3 style design of slower gpu cores (in larger numbers) and even more weird they opted for a split memory config (also similar to what PS3 did) , which is notoriously known to be hard to program form. So, PS4 is lean and easy to program for, while X needs a lot more work to get the right performance due to its highly parallel setup.

Microsoft cut corners in many small ways like their off-the-shelf pcie gen 4 x2 SSD and that severely overpriced expansion card.

I want Gran Turismo merch

Helldivers population drop wouldn't be nearly as severe if snoy wasn't so asinine about region blocking people for no god damn reason, including my EUROPEAN country using EUROS as a currency that has access to pretty much everything else. And no, it's not our government issue.

Another trophy for astro bot playroom has just been unlocked.

I really hope Astro Bot not only wins GOTY but sells Mario level numbers of around 20-30 million. I want Sony to wake up and realize that we want some of these kinds of games like Astro, and Sly Cooper to return and be just as big of part of Sony's games going forward as they treat GOW, TLOU, Horizon, etc.... these kinds of games is a huge reason why Nintendo is as big as it is. I literally buy every Nintendo console doe Mario/Luigi, Zelda, DK; thats it. Playstation needs that.

Hope I didn't lost my points.

Thanks mustic

"Those specific features make their way into PC parts as well" "so often times a collaboration with Microsoft and Sony and AMD have on these console that often time benefit the PC audience"" Who cares? It doesn't change the fact that AMDs GPU business just isn't looking good on the PC. Their collaboration with Microsoft, Sony and AMD isn't helping them at all. I mean Nvidia is completely dragging them across the floor, and if you use Steam as the metric you will see that Nividia is the much more desired hardware, not AMD.

I dont see them saying anything about a ps5 pro announcement because I don't believe the rumors..but what I do believe the reason why there going back to the tgs this year is because this year in japan is the 30th anniversary of Playstation in japan..

Stay bless people

The figures just look low quality is my main issue, look at these and then look at what GoodSmile figma made for bloodborne a while back.
