I just want to point out the difference in scores on Uncharted 4. Hey it's a really great game also. But realistically they added nothing to the game play except movable crates.

No one here on GS was saying same old Uncharted, or where is something new? Yet UC4 is rewarded with 10s by the same sources that give Gears 5 (that has added a lot more and doubles in content with huge amounts of actually fun Multi player Modes, and have you seen Digital Foundry?) 7s.

I think at this point most of us have known for years when it comes to GameSpot Reviews, that Xbox games will always get 1 full point knocked off just because. And sadly they are not the only ones. Then there are the outliers that just bomb a game to get more traffic to their site.

Hard to prove, but harder to deny.

Freaking meta critic scores for Xbox exclusives are always a mini game in itself. Really don't get it, and really way past the point of caring any more. They are just way too skewed.

I long ago found youtubers and reviewers I trust that actually game on all platforms and like the kind of games that i do, that don't do clickbait crap. I hope the rest of you do too, so you don't get fooled by a Kojima game score or some boring walking simulator.

Don't forget what Marvel Comics did to the Fox owned properties. They killed off the most popular X-Men of all time-Wolverine before the movie Logan came out, They Killed Dead Pool, and they made everything Fantastic 4 disappear.

They have no qualms about taking a short term hit and playing dirty. They can more than afford to play the long game.

The video game deal could easily go bust, Marvel could easily open it up to the highest bidder, make it themselves or squash it completely. (get it? like a bug)

Spider-man needs MCU more than MCU needs Spider-man.

As the split up with these 2 becoming more and more public and dirty laundry coming out it is starting to get a little ugly.

Sony's damage control has already been shot down and debunked and their stock prices took a hit. Last Spider-man film made over a billion but the rest of their film division is really struggling.

I don't know about the rest of you but I found out Sony only has the Film rights (I thought the had everything except comics and merch) and it is not transferable. Therefore if Sony Films is ever sold to another corporation (with the way things are going, is not out of the realm) or if they stop making movies after so much time it goes back to Marvel.

Marvel owns Spiderman everywhere else. So if they say "OK Sony, since you want to be Arrogant Dicks there is nothing stopping us from making TV shows, Spiderman as a host of Sports Center (I would totally watch that), or pulling the PS exclusive video game rights and going to EA, Activision, Xbox studios etc. Which would be so easy to do, and will more than likely make them more $$$"

Don't think it could not happen? Marvel/Disney played pretty dirty when they acquired Fox. And you really don't want on this behemoth's bad side.

Are people really complaining the Gears is not photo Realistic enough? The game was never meant to be. You are on a different planet fighting Monsters from Under the Planet, in just one game you literally inside of a Giant Worm running through its guts and organs for God's Sake!

I really love the art style of the game and all the colors they have added in 4 and 5 look absolutely awesome in 4k and HDR. They could make the characters more photo realistic but it would be pointless since there is no Developer on the Planet that could make the rest of the game in a way that would match up. It's perfect the way it is.

Destiny is no more realistic than Gears, and no one is ever shitting on that. Must be because this is not a Sony game and Sony has nothing even close to Gears. And I for one wish they did.

If you did not like either of those, makes me wonder if you even like video games.

Go back to Minecraft or Robo Blox or whatever it is called.

To each their own but really loved the new Tomb Raider trilogy and Camilla Ludington as Lara, And Wolfenstein is just stupid Nazi killing fun don't over think it. Loved them both but plan on skipping Youngbloods until it hits Gamepass.

Sony already has some great Studios. Let's pay attention to the MAY BUY studios part.

IMO they would be better off adding more staff to the studios they already have and let them do more than one game at a time or start dev on new games sooner.

I like Remedy but they take a really long time to put a game out. And the games are not even that long. I liked Alan Wake but prefer Quantum Break and would rather see a sequel to that.

It really is no secret that they have been wanting to make a sequel to it since 2010. They even put out a proof of concept video that they were shopping around after MS shot them down.

I don't think Remedy wants to acquired by a MS or Sony and would better off independent and multi plat. With their track record of long dev time and so so sales and reviews does not scream a solid investment either.

Again I like them and would totally play Alan Wake 2. They make fun different games but you have to wait at least 6 years to play one. If someone has not played Alan Wake or Quantum Break I highly recommend both.

Probably has roots all the way back to OG Xbox being announced.

I can actually remember not being a gamer but being stoked Sony getting into the game with PlayStation. (Still in my musician days, you think gaming is expensive? Sheesh) Was not blown away like i hoped but had fun playing at friends places. Also thought the same thing about hearing Microsoft was getting in. I always thought and knew competition would make it better. Had roommate with the OG Xbox thought it was pretty cool played Halo 2 and Call of Duty, Gun etc. Thought it was fun but not enough to make me want to buy one. Then I saw some one playing Force unleashed on 360 and said holy sh*t that's what games look like now? So i bought one.

I did not even know this was a thing until I went from reading game walkthroughs to game news and got to the comment section. Never really got into it this crazy stuff to until this gen, and now getting to the back to I don't really care anymore mode. I like my system and like playing games.

Who shot first and whatever else, really does not effect me.
