I knew this thread would've gone this way regardless (because it's a hardocre bubble board to a degree), but for a reality check:Are you really comparing a nostalgia imbued remake of one of the best games from the PS1 era and a game which is part of one of the biggest multimedia IPs out there, with fucking borderlands?
It peaked with BL2 long time ago and BL3 is awful, so much so you have to mute all dialogue to enjoy the gunplay which is the only good thing about that mess of a game![]()
Playstation Nation be likeBorderlands 4...
This is fucking sad.
I agree played tiny tina turner tits and it sucksYuck.
What a waste of fucking time.
One of the worst popular franchises ever.
I'm comparing it with the sequel of a game that sold ~8M units in 3 months.Are you really comparing a nostalgia imbued remake of one of the best games from the PS1 era and a game which is part of one of the biggest multimedia IPs out there, with fucking borderlands?

If anything it's because Sony has been extremely quiet this year as far as 1st party titles.
Outside of Days Gone and Marathon (a remaster and a GAAS) The ONLY 2025 title that Sony has even mentioned is the Ghost of Yotei release date, and even then it was announced in a lackluster way.
Playstation owners are "hungry" for new titles this year, and it's already going into May...and the next SOP is...a Mid Multiplatformer?? You can see how Playstation owners may be a bit miffed at Sony and their handling of 2025 thus far...but yea, like you said "E3 season" is coming...and hopefully they have something of actual substance to show for the 2nd half of 2025
Lost Soul Aside - May 30thThere are no new titles (from Sony). They put most of their resources into gaas shit and most of those games were canceled. It will take years to recover from these mistakes, probably PS6 launch will be a banger though.
Completely forgot about Death Stranding 2...that should tell you everything about how Sony is handling 2025...but yes, if you are a DS fan (as I am) that is a definite must-get Banger of 2025.I'm comparing it with the sequel of a game that sold ~8M units in 3 months.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach - June 26th
Not today, fellas. Maybe there's another Switch 2 pricing thread out there that's more of your pace.
Ok, I didn't say it flopped, I said it was trash, everyone got duped into buying it because BL2 was that good back in the dayI knew this thread would've gone this way regardless (because it's a hardocre bubble board to a degree), but for a reality check:
Borderlands 4 will probably sell gangbusters. By 2023, BL3 has sold over 18 million copies and it's a major trump card for holiday season marketing wise, especially since other looter shooters are kinda dead (sorry, Destiny 2).
Plus I guess it's a price for GTA VI marketing deal too.
What exactly does you forgetting about it tell me? I'm also pretty sure I mentioned another game besides DS2.Completely forgot about Death Stranding 2...that should tell you everything about how Sony is handling 2025...
You should care about the games, not what the ""market at large"" could feel about it.Not sure how the Market-at-large feels about this release tho...
Gearbox games are the only ones that if you check 'I'm 18 or older' when starting, they block you from playing.After seeing they want to know your password, ip address, email, age, location etc and will perma ban you for using mods even on old games like bl2, I won't be buying this.
ez pass
That they (Sony) should do a better job at marketing/messaging. The fact that an actual Death Stranding fan forgot the Death Stranding Sequel game is releasing next month says a lot...and I keep up with current gaming news (unlike casuals)What exactly does you forgetting about it tell me?

Sorry... but, it quite literally doesn't.That they (Sony) should do a better job at marketing/messaging. The fact that an actual Death Stranding fan forgot the Death Stranding Sequel game is releasing next month says a lot
This was probably signed back when Hulst was running everything into the ground to try and make his buddy Jim Ryan look better.sop for a 3rd party cookie clutter looter shooter is very on brand for Sony in 2025.
Quoted for truth.
Sorry... but, it quite literally doesn't.
You ""forgot"" that DS2 was coming in 2025 AT ALL, and not just in June, so you either didn't really count the game as a Sony release (it is), or you forgot that the game was slated for this year, which is pretty weird for someone who claims to be a DS fan; something I wouldn't deny that you could be, so I'm personally going with the former here.
Kagoshima_Luke nailed it! Sony says we own the market now b!tch, we don't have to make games for you.Sony:

Well, the only thing I have to say is that you basically acknowledged the reason for this on your third point. It's still coming in whole two months, the marketing will come close to release.1. If an actual enthusiast of gaming AND Fan of Death Stranding was able to forget that Death Stranding 2 exists and is releasing in mere weeks, what does that say about Sony's promotions/marketings and the average/casual gamer that does not visit forums or keep up with the latest gaming news?
This doesn't prove much considering how stingy GAF is when it comes to Sony games. Some people here would rather fucking die than admitting that DS2 is a first-party game.2. The fact that even here, on GAF, you were basically the first one to point out "Oh yea, Death Stranding 2 exists guys"...
Is Borderlands "mid"? Yikes. I wouldn't say so. Not based on anything empirical, anywayIf anything it's because Sony has been extremely quiet this year as far as 1st party titles.

The funny thing about this gif is if you pause the source video of Randy doing a magic trick picking the card he signed out of an unopened deck of cards every single card in the deck is signed.
The narrative in peoples minds is real on Gaf.Y'all crazy......the last game sold like 20M copies.
Try harder.Err... what? Did Sony run out of games already? Why the fuck is this its own show?
Tell that to Sony, friend.Try harder.
Sony is right, Borderlands is better than anything their in-house studios are producing. Good decision.
