TLOU is a great game, glad they remastered it (sequel is terrible). Now remake Uncharted (don't touch the writing Neil!) instead of that Intergalactic slop which will bomb if it ever comes out.
And the obviousness continues. Who greenlit trash like SoM thinking it would sell to anyone. It was completely unappealing. Xbox should get rid of all these studios that are either super slow at producing games or making niche stuff for 10 people.
Glad to hear it. The better it sells on PS5 the more likely they won't turn it exclusive in the future. Forza will not become exclusive after the sales it racked up on PS5, the same would be the same of Halo if successful.
Senua looks like the action game the second one should have been. I think Xbox threatened the devs to get something out that actually sells and fast. Very quick turn around after how long it took them to get the second game out and now filled with action and stealth instead of a walking sim. Hopefully it's good.
I haven't touched my Series X in almost 2 years and won't be picking Gears up for £70 on a dead platform. If it had come to PS5 though, I would've. This decision will lead to Gears flopping hard.
I don't think it'll affect sales much but all these little things can build up. Sony clearly forced some censorship on the first title which led Shift Up shouting from the rooftops that the sequel won't be PS5 exclusive. Sony should have moved heaven and earth to lock the game down, it was by far the most successful PS game released on Steam. Same with FF7 to a lesser degree. With their western first party dying a slow death, they should be clinging onto all the Eastern stuff that actually sells. Sony are just lucky Xbox shat the bed spectacularly.
Already playing defence. Turning every one of their male led IP's into (ugly, bland) female ones for the vast majority of their male audience continues to be an insane move. Sales will continue to plummet from each of their western devs who push this tired narrative. It hasn't worked in any entertainment field once but they keep trying.
Dark Ages was mediocre and needs PSSR added to the Pro version ASAP. Eternal was good but a bit messy BUT Doom 2016 is amazing. I would much prefer a 10 year anniversary Pro upgrade for 2016 over more Dark Ages.
Also, that the character designs were done by a loser incel and then found out it's the studio managers hot wife who did all the designs. These "journalists" are hilarious.
Returnal barely sold and that had hype as one of the first PS5 exclusives. Saros has no chance of hitting Returnals sales as it looks derivative and at £70! I'm sure some will say that the studio wasn't expecting massive sales and it's not super important, they're insane. Money is all that matters to a company and Housemarque should be very worried about their future after what we saw from the loss of Bluepoint.

Re: Sound the Alarm: Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis Partially Developed Using AI
Use A.I. to go up one more cup size and Lara will be looking more like her old self. Game looks great though. Pity it was delayed.
Re: We Still Don't Know Sales Figures, But Saros PS5 Player Stats Reveal Some Big Numbers
Ahh the useless stats that mean nothing. This just tells you what a massive sales failure it was.
