Interesting expedition 33 sold over 2 million so far and didn’t register on the charts.

@LordFunkalot exactly. There’s no transparency in gaming any more as devs/publishers want you to believe they’re doing better than they are.

This doesn’t make sense. The development costs were paid years ago.

Absolute greed and nothing else. I’m fed up with this s***

I mean after GTA takes the top spot that only leaves 4 more places…

@Bionic-Spencer same here, any interest I had disappeared with the physical release news.

Barely played anything for over a week but plan on wrapping up expedition 33 this weekend…

I’m interested but something definitely doesn’t seem quite right with this. Hope it turns out to be a stealth banger like expedition 33 though!

Could be interested if it’s actually on the disc.

Voting against bad practices with my wallet, so no.

Ironically outlaws is the best Ubisoft game I’ve played in about a decade. For my tastes anyway…

@ILikeStake me too. Outlaws was the most non-Ubisoft Ubisoft game and I loved it for it.

So releasing a game in a playable state, bug free and complete on day 1 is now a “strategy?”

Who would’ve thought!

The fact that they gave a specific date instead of just “spring 26” makes me think they’ll make it.

Sweet this looks different enough for me to be interested. Nice review as always!

I notice my pro runs a lot hotter than my OG PS5.

Probably unsurprisingly.

Nice, Mercury stream are a decent studio so this is a demo I’ll definitely check out!

Comes with 2MB on the 100Gb blu ray

The only thing that can kill GTA5 10+ years later is GTA6 😂

@get2sammyb haha so true, it sounds as though you spend as little as me 😂

@Member_the_game dude we already have console wars, do we have to have phone wars too?

@cburg isn’t every article on a website effectively a “hit piece?” Sites exist for traffic, is nothing new.

If you read the article you’d have seen Sammy also highlighted Sony for their part in allowing this, not just MS/Bethesda.

I love Apple Pay but it is a little too convenient, I need something that makes it harder for me to spend money!

Luckily it will cost me £0.

I may well preorder Mafia though!

I think Sony have forgotten how to make a console bundle.

Mad to think GTA3, Vice City and Andreas all released in 4 years!

@Cypher_Unknown yes I do find the game preservation thing from Phil Spencer particularly ironic with their releases so far.

All that crap he speaks is lip service, constantly contradicting himself.

I was excited to hear MS bringing their games to PS but now I doubt I’ll buy many moving forward with these practices.

Love mine and despite the price I’m glad I bit the bullet.

What is the world coming to?

1 less sale from me Microsoft.

Yeah I also like the £45 price tag. Count me in!

I wasn’t really hyped until trailer 2, has made the delay a little harder to swallow!

2K president David Ismailer says there's a "large audience for compelling stories that don’t require massive time commitments"

Correct David. Looking forward to this.

Glad to also see this week the PS5 generation has begun!

Yep happy with this personally. Have been enjoying non open world games more recently.

@LogicStrikesAgain yeah agreed. Sony should snap them up. A few hundred million would look like a bargain vs bungie.

@Slideaway1983 cool thank you!

Will this remain playable once the servers are turned off or is it one of those that’ll become extinct offline?

I wonder if this is another 10% of the game on disc, 90% download like Indy was…

Frog type game? So they’re making frogger 2? 😂

Haha as usual some numpty rated it 1/10 🤦‍♂️

@BeenGamingSince_83 I hope it’s not serious.

GTA’s always been known for its humour. Hope it still has lots and doesn’t take itself seriously or I’ll have to report the devs to the FIB!

Yeah I’m definitely keen to gameplay seeing as GTA’s character controls have been janky since GTA3 now.

I hope they’ve improved in that regard.

@HonestHick yeah console gamers moving to PC is a bit of a scary thought I have to admit.

Ironically I think it’s mostly down to Sony and Microsoft causing that. Sony releasing first party on PC, MS going heavy with gamepass and basically leaving the hardware race. Then you have the increase in console hardware and software it’s understandable people are choosing PC instead.

@LiamCroft are we going to get a 385 day countdown? 😄

I think for me I’ve realised recently I’ve been enjoying more linear/condensed games like wukong, expedition 33 etc.

I know I’m only one person but open worlds have got a bit boring. The devs have such a bit area to fill content so of course there’s got to be copy/paste content to help fill it. That’s where I’m a bit fatigued.

The likes of horizon, spider man, ghost etc are all brilliant but it’s the open world they’re built in I’m a bit tired of.

I went for expedition 33 instead. Doubt I’ll double dip on this even if it’s been decades since I played it!

@HonestHick haha yeah I think you’ve nailed the top 10 for the next 10 years 🤣

Judging by GTA5 sales alone and if rockstar nail GTA online I have no doubt this’ll be top 10 in 2035.

If I could remember I’d tag you in this thread 10 years from now to see if we were right!

@TenakaF yeah thanks but I don’t know if you replied to the wrong person? I was talking about perfect dark.

Also not sure if your comment about “consoles stagnating or in decline” is massively accurate. Nintendo’s current console is the second best selling ever at over 150m units. The PS5 is tracking next to the PS4 at a much higher price and having launched with the covid supply shock. It’s only Xbox that’s doing badly in the hardware race.

Stunning is an understatement!

Looking forward to seeing the pro enhancements.

@HonestHick yeah the reality is we could easily still see this in the top 10 in 2035! Madness.

Wow I was ok with the delay last week but now I’m not after seeing that! 🤣
