Socom is nothing. The brand means nothing. I never played a so on game just as plenty of people. It’s a 25 years old dead ip
It's a brand they own that is basically a blank slate. Put out a good military shooter and get people to play it because it is good, not because it is SOCOM. That is basically what happened with Rainbow Six, there were 7 years between Vegas 2 (which was kind of ass) and Siege. But now Siege is a lolshow.

Socom brand is better than starting from nothing 100%. They could do anything military with it
 

I don't know why I even still sub to this guy because all of his videos are the same thing over and over and over and he's a fucking idiot that appears to know nothing about games outside of the very small amount of things he experienced as a kid.

The amount of times I've heard him say things that either aren't close to true, not know how to say a very common name, or not know a game that is pretty mainstream astounds me.

Another box to check for the billion dollar corporation's marketing team.

30th anniversary thank you my ass.

A couple of days ago, they had Dark Souls 3 in the PSN Black Friday Sale for 30€ (or was it 40€?).

Quick Google search shows that 4 years ago, the game was 15€.

Why tf do they increase prices for 8 year old digital games? It's not like there's a limited amount of it.

Better buy everything today because with PS6 we will charge you 100% more.

Devil's advocate: Sony doesn't set the price of third party games during sales, the publisher does.

Inflation. A lot of games show this jump.
It's on sale every few months

Without added value like enhanced graphics, extra content, or better compatibility, a price hike of 100% for an 8 year old digital game is pure exploitation. There's nothing to justify this.
 
I think it's a good video, a little too much focus on PS4 era but it's still good.
It's because that is all modern sony likes Tlou, GOT, GOW, GT and Horizon everything. Also I don't think i seen Days gone in there at all, shows how much they hate that game.

Its boring. Astrobot and Silent Hill 2remake were a breath of fresh air after stagnating cross gen period.

I wish we had compelling new single player games. I wish we had ps3 games remastered instead of tlou and horizon.
I would love an open world killzone or resistance. A new infamous.
Bloodborne remastered and bloodborne 2.
New wiepout and motorstorm.
New Uncharted, How cool would it be for a new uncharted game with Nathan and Chloe meeting on adventure, (pre Elena).
New MGS type game.
New JRPGs

No instead we get horizon, horizon, tlou, got2, gow; neutered, and more horizon.
 


Always thought this was the best PS ad. Although the “for the players” comes close.

Awesome commerical. Also loved the kevin butler ones. Or the uncharted one with the girlfriend.

The best era for single player Sony first party, by far. It feels like they hate ps3 era just because it cost them a lot of money to make it, but damn if it wasn't for turning around the ps3 and making those games they would not be where they are at now.

That was naff.
Where was Ridge racer and Tekken?
Did I blink and miss them?
Ghost doesn't deserve to be in there either.
That game is the epitome of style over substance.

If you're from Europe buy the physical edition of Dark Souls Trilogy. It's usually around €30 for all 3 games and all the DLCs are on the disc.

Surprised to see that it took this much for GAF to complain about Hoirizon being at the start of the video.
