Looks like Ubisoft may be getting in on the subscription game too. I'm sure many will be salty but Ubi definitely has the quality and quantity to support it, can't wait to see more details.
If true it’s definitely feeling like PS5 is spring 2020 rather than holiday 2020. Sure the investor meeting rules out March but that doesn’t stop it being April for example.
@Grumblevolcano Rumor is that TLOU Part II is delayed to 2020. Maybe it'll end up being a cross-gen launch title?
Sony's first party output is almost as critically acclaimed as Nintendo's now. It'd be a shame for them not to capitalize on one of their very biggest titles to push a new system on the market.

@Grumblevolcano If it is April (or May), you'd still expect a big increase in marketing budget. It isn't there. So it won't coms out before summer 2019, and a holiday release makes the most sense at that point.
@redd214 I would assume that Ubi-Sub is a streaming service since Yves was the first to drag the whole streaming thing into the spotlight to begin with. I'd be shocked if it were a download service.
Then again with the rate Ubi turns around sequels, semi-sequels, and then discards them at the dump table, one could argue they're already a subscription service
Plus games for June announced, GREAT MONTH!!! Hundreds of hours of shooting and looting with Borderlands and can't wait to finally try Sonic, figured it was a plus game eventually, glad I waited!
Also Days of Play sale as usual. Nothing earth shattering it seems but still money to be saved!
Speaking of Borderlands, anyone else try Borderlands 2 PSVR version? It's the first PSVR game that is slightly nauseating to me with the framerate, but it's pretty cool all the same! Just can't do it for long. It's clearly not game designed for VR, but it's a neat world to be first person in. And that's from someone who could never quite get into the game despite trying several times. I love the premise, but the gameplay never hooks me.
Well I'm slightly more interested than before now we've at least seen gameplay. Still no idea what's going on though!
Making random ladders and ropes looks fun though, lol.
Think I'm about halfway through Tales of Zestria now (I'm closing in on level 50, and usually finish these things around the mid 70's). It's not a bad game, but man was everyone right in the sense that it's generic to a fault (probably doesn't help that I'm playing FFXHD over in Switch land).
Dungeons do tend have an engaging enough puzzle element, but aesthetically they're pretty bland (you can really tell this is the "Earth" dungeon because the brown hue of it's plain stone walls totally sets it apart from the blue hue of the plain stone walls of the "Water" dungeon. It's very much like a SNES JRPG in that regard). It also, at this point, sticks closer to a basic medieval theme than the past games I've played (Abyss & Vesperia mixed in magitech pretty openly), which doesn't help the generic-ness. Maybe they weren't yet comfortable developing a world for a fully controllable, behind the protag, 3rd person camera (Abyss & Vesperia had a kind of semi-fixed angle camera view going on inside cities & dungeons, that maybe let them put more thought into the environment since they had a better idea of what you'd be seeing at any given moment). Just a theory, though.
Oh, and don't get me started on the convoluted equipment system. Each piece of equipment, in addition to how they generally effect your stats, has 4 different effect slots, and it puts a focus on combining multiple pieces of equipment of the same type to mix & tweak their unique effects, more so than simply picking the piece of gear with the best general stats. Features like that aren't necessarily bad, but I've had a tough time grasping how it all comes together in this instance, and have largely ignored it (it's made even more convoluted by a sort of skill grid, that grants you yet even more bonuses if you give your equipment effects in the same family).
Seems like I'm doing a lot of complaining, but it's decent enough overall.

Really excited about the Borderlands 2 Handsome Collection being a PS+ game of June. I've never played the Pre-sequel. Heard that it's the black sheep of the series, but I'll give it a go for free. Besides, there's BL2 to go with it, and I wouldn't mind playing that again.
I still hope these games come to Switch eventually though.
Switch Physical Collection - 1,538 games (as of January 16th, 2026)
Switch 2 Physical Collection - 4 games (as of December 8th, 2025)
@Magician yeah the Presequel is by far the weakest of the 3 (4 if you want to throw Tales in there). Has some neat ideas but really just feels like an expansion rather than another game. Definitely worth a few playthrus though I think I spent 50ish hours with it.
I think the Collection has a decent chance of coming to switch, surprised Tales hasn't come yet as that would be the easiest. Doubt we will ever see 3 however.
