@Oram77 the point is that piracy is a very small fraction of the entire pc market. If piracy was truly that big of an issue then companies like Square Enix, shift up, pearl abyss and Capcom wouldn’t be focusing so much on pc as a platform.

@Avalanchee the game just didn’t sell well cause it wasn’t day and date

@Oram77 let’s not pretend that this was Sony’s own doing. Not having your game be day and date on pc limits sales.

@IOI the amount of pirates vs people that buy games is very small. Requiem sold well on pc cause its a great game and it was day and date on pc. Anti piracy software doesn’t lead to more sales. Witcher 3, cyberpunk, Baldur’s gate 3 all launched without drm versions and yet all 3 of these games sold 10’s of millions of copies.

@BAMozzy it’s a catch 22. Exclusives aren’t inherently good or bad, they are a needed tool to meaningfully sell gaming hardware. As long as the margins are good enough then sure keep the exclusives exclusive.

@IOI what a stupid thing too say when Resident Evil Requiem literally just sold millions of copies on pc and Crimson Desert is also about to do the same. Also when Nioh 3 reach a million copies sold in the fastest amount of time when it launch day and date with pc.

@Max_the_German Nintendo is able to make games and in particular multiplayer games on the cheap when compared to Sony and also the live service games get way more money by being pc day and date

@Neither_scene or let’s ignore how the majority of cyberpunk sales are on pc and that game was day one without any drm.

@JackiePriest people bought Forza cause the same way pc people bought horizon zero dawn. It was cause of the novelty at first.

@Sanquine and how much money has pc made in sales in the same amount of time??

@Sanquine this is a lie lol. PC gamers buy a crap ton of games. It’s the literal reason why companies like Shift Up, Pearl Abyss and Square Enix have moved away from ps5 exclusives.

The pc ports lost steam cause they weren’t day and date releases. Don’t begrudge Sony for doing this cause good exclusives are needed to sell hardware in a meaningful way but let’s ignore the real reason why recent PS ports don’t sell as well.

These results are why Square Enix is doing full multiplatform releases. Yes FF16 and FF7 rebirth both sold well overall yes but being limited to a single platform does limit sales. If both of those games had been multiplatform releases at launch they would have sold more. Also yes a major part of the problem is Square’s unrealistic expectations but still.

Good for them. They want a bigger cut of the pie and also want day and date multiplatform releases.

Man… requiem is gonna be generational game.

Independent and 3rd party teams have no good reason to be exclusive to ps5.

@Divergent95 lol the crash out is real

Love to see this. This is also why Ff7 remake part 3 is going multiplatform or at the very least pc day and date.

@Boomers-r-us mean it’s weird to be upset about more good games but go on

Going multiplatform is 1000% the right call. Good on Square

Unfortunate but not shocking. Highguard was far from a bad game but it didn’t truly do anything special to set itself apart from the competition. T

@AdamNovice mean it’s entirely the fault of the devs and the leadership here. Even a shadow drop would have been stupid. You need to do early access to build the game up and figure out what players actually want.

I’m gonna need a release date and a physical pre order on Thursday or Im gonna crash out

Good on Team Ninja. Glad Nioh 3 is doing as well as it is. It’s also the best example of why FF7 remake part 3 is going to be fully multiplatform day one. It’s already beaten Nioh 2’s record handily.

Think you are missing a very possible one with Marvel Tokon being there.

@SoulsBourne128 why?? Bandai should have made Code Vein 2 better

@TheEnygma not being on pc doesn’t help

@johnedwin that was 20+ years ago. Times change

@Reyzore PlayStation is still going have those games lol

This is only a good thing. Square is missing out on a huge player base on PC day one. If part 3 is in the same ball park as rebirth and is day one on pc it will break 100,000

@graymamba it was never really about Xbox and way more about pc being day one

@Stragen8 mean it’s gonna sell more at launch being fully multiplatform day one but go on

First hit of the year

Really hard to get a read on this game. Everything they are doing on a preview marketing side is great, it’s just that it’s so hard to believe that a game this ambitious is going to actually be good.

@slabula what is the point you’re trying to make buddy??

@slabula and that’s supposed to mean something??

If Wildlight is able to maintain this quick of being able to add things the game might survive. 5v5 flows so much better.

Played it for a game… then switched to arc raiders lol

Has anyone seen anything about a physical release?

Glad to see and hopefully it does well. Xbox is doing with Fable what they should do with all of their games. Since Xbox isn’t trying to sell hardware anymore it makes no sense not to have their games everywhere day one.

Love to see it.

Look on the bright side. These devs are better off forming their own studios than being with Ubisoft.

@Scottyy doesn’t even need to be that. Just add some deeper gameplay sections and that’s it

Let’s not be stupid and be revisionists here. Anthem’s flying was great and that’s it. Gunplay was passable but for it being a looter its loot was utter dog s h i t. Story was bad. Anthem had 1/2 redeeming things and that’s it.

To have a better balance with gaming. Obviously gonna by some new games but buy less and work on the vast backlog. But also to be more flowing with what I’m feeling. Sometimes people need to take a break from gaming.

Low key a pretty balanced list

I know saber isn’t a rpg team but given their work and respect for the ip in space marine 2 really gave me a lot of confidence in their potential for this game.

Damn can sound like any more of a whiny B I T C H about Expedition 33?

Not a bad bet on Sony’s part but not mind blowing. Still think there are a lot other more pressing genres that Sony should be investing into.
