Give gamers what they want, games like Stellar Blade and Nikke, have modest budgets, and as a result, make profits and not have to lay off employees. (whilst giving them a bonus of a free PS5).
Let's not forget the new death end request spinoff should be out this year in the west.
@twitchy_emu92 100 💯 agree with you. There's a janky charm to them. Although I'd wish they'd introduce real time cutscenes and move away from PNGs 😂
Sony should take their 30% of store purchases for Marvel Rivals cash and leave live service games to others. Easier money and you don't end up making rubbish like Concord
This is what happens when you make a game people want to play. The gamers benefit. The studio benefits. The developers benefit.
Meanwhile other studios are misreading the room, making games not enough people want to play, costing too much to make, and the the developers lose their jobs.
Unfairly criticized? Even if you dont take part in the culture wars, the original art is awful to many, and i agree with them. I've seen tons of better fan art.
Now, if you liked the art. That's okay and ill never say you "unfairly enjoy"🤔
For folks who didnt know, Ueda left to form genDesign (the only reference for the studio name is in the tags, not the article.) When Ueda was finishing off The Last Guardian he was an independent contractor, and not a Sony employee
@SteveJaye if it’s like PoE 1, it’ll keep adding content I don’t have time to play. Like I said, I love the idea of the game. No time is the problem.
Mobile games are dominated by Candy Crush and a couple of gachas. They should just focus on console games . plus Sony already makes bank off f2p on their consoles.
@Keyblade-Dan the issues for most comes from the fact we didn’t get the original Venus Vacation on Steam because we cannot easily. I’m sure if we did, people would be happier with the picks.
TBH I’m okay with them. Honoka is my favourite DOA fighter. Some of the rest I’m familiar with too.

Re: Capcom to Pull the Plug on Rubbish Resident Evil Multiplayer Spin-Off
I'm shocked, shocked! Well, not really.
I watched streamers play this a couple of times and it looked really bad.
What worries me is that Neobards developed Re:Verse, and they're the lead devs on Silent hill f.
Not looking promising
Re: Report Investigates Why PS Store Is Still Drowning in 'Eslop'

Re: Rumour: Oblivion Remake Isn't Just a Graphics Upgrade, It's a Full Gameplay Overhaul
I hope it doesn't use the awful levelling system from Skyrim.

Re: Stellar Blade Dev Says It Hopes Everyone Is 'Living in Love' After Naughty Dog Artist's Interpretation of Eve Is Unfairly Criticised

Re: Venus Vacation Prism: Dead or Alive Xtreme Is a Pretty Girl Photography Sim for PS5, PS4
@Keyblade-Dan the issues for most comes from the fact we didn’t get the original Venus Vacation on Steam because we cannot easily. I’m sure if we did, people would be happier with the picks.
TBH I’m okay with them. Honoka is my favourite DOA fighter. Some of the rest I’m familiar with too.
In terms of OG cast. I’d want Ayane.
