Re: South of Midnight Maker Said to Be Shuttered by Xbox

Hoff

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.

Re: Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 Is Now Hellblade 2: Senua's Saga

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.

Re: Reaction: Some PS5 Fans Think SGF Showed Sony Losing Its Grip on Third-Parties

Hoff

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.

Re: Poor Start for PS5 Exclusive Saros as First Sales Data Emerges

Hoff

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.
