Really wonder what the budget was for this. 500 k is great, but average sale price for this was prob $40 so its only $20mil so far, no doubt it will prob keep selling for years, but I still dont get how they made this for less than 20 mil
For me, what I liked most about SH2R was the surreal vibe of the town and the characters. Who knows at this point whether this game has any of that tone. What I liked second best was the creepy design and aesthetic of the levels, which i think this trailer shows they might be pulling off again. So yeah, I'm interested.
NGL as a PS only gamer this is pretty awesome news. With Sony somewhat dropping the ball on ps5 exclusives recently its been great to have some cool Xbox stuff to look forward to. I love the Sony IPs and hope for a resurgent late gen ps5, but with all this xbox stuff it hasnt been so bad. Really hard to see though how this is benefitting xbox other than through game sales as I think its clear without a doubt at this point that PS is the best place to play.
@Balaam_ Exactly my thought, and a PSA for anyone looking at this, if last year was anything to go off this is no guarantee these games are coming out in 2025
Wouldn't your questions be something they would more likely address in an investor call or in some financial documents? At least controlling dev costs etc. I get PSVR 2 silence is bad for the product itself as support is nonexistent.
@themightyant You can't really call it an edge case because we don't really know how many games will use the features or how they will perform. This is some evidence for this game running better. Does that make it an "edge case?" No. Just means there is a small sample size.
@Banjo- You might know people that did that, but what about the people that didn't play any of them because they don't know that the stories are not connected. I'm saying they are missing sales because of this numbering system. You might know the difference, but lots of people don't. You might anecdotally know people that played 7 then played 4 or whatever, but you probably don't know anyone who saw that 16 came out in 2023 and thought "***** i have to play 15 games before this." Its why God of War in 2018 wasn't "God of War 4."

Re: Bungie Delays Marathon Indefinitely, No New PS5, PC Release Date Given
If i had a choice between Marathon or Fairgame$ I'm taking Marathon 10/10 times.
Re: Bungie Delays Marathon Indefinitely, No New PS5, PC Release Date Given
Damn. Given the current climate as PS this ***** probably getting canned in 6 months.

@DennisReynolds Thanks!
Re: This Death Stranding Story Recap Is Essential Viewing Before PS5 Sequel
For those that have watched this, how spoilery is this for Part 2?
Re: 'Good Luck with That' - The Outer Worlds 2 $80 Price Has Gone Down Horribly with PS5 Players
I mean, OW1 almost didnt feel like a full price game, IDK what theyre thinking with this one.
Re: Internal Death Stranding 2 Reviews Are Tracking Much Higher Than the First Game, But Kojima Isn't Pleased
Would point out that Peace Walker and MGSV are pretty similar in terms of one iteration to the next.
Re: Mafia: The Old Country Looks Glorious in Gameplay Trailer, PS5 Release Date Confirmed
Glad its linear actually, probably going to play it now, and great price!
Re: Hideo Kojima Not Planning to Make a Death Stranding 3, But He Has a Concept for It
Pretty smart of him to get this franchise off the grand and then license the IP out while making new IP himself. Can't wait for 2 myself
Re: GTA 6 Trailer 2 Is Finally Here, Graphics are Jaw-Dropping
Game's never coming out
Re: Preview: Arc Raiders Could Be the Definitive Extraction Shooter on PS5
Its better than Concord, but the art style is giving me Concord vibes.

Re: Void Breaker Is a Breakneck, Fully Destructible FPS Coming to PS5 This Year
Entropy Center was pretty fun if a little janky.
Re: Rumour: An XCOM-Like Rainbow Six Spin-Off Is in the Works for PS5
This could be pretty cool honestly
Re: Bloodborne, Elden Ring Dev Won't Be Releasing Its Next Big Game on PS5
This is April fools still right?
Re: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Officially Out for PS5 on 17th April
Honestly that was a pretty great trailer. Some much overlap in so many directions still pulpy but also advertising. Whoever wrote that A+

Do the armored core games have trophy support?
Re: The Last of Us Gets Its Own Limited Edition DualSense PS5 Controller
this is one of the lamest ones
Re: Sony Has Been Backing PS5, PC Action Game Lost Soul Aside for Almost a Decade
There's no way this was made by one man. Maybe it started as an idea in 1 mans head, but this product was probably made by hundreds of people.
Re: Sony Has Been Backing PS5, PC Action Game Lost Soul Aside for Almost a Decade
@LogicStrikesAgain Yeah the term seems to be used kind of loosely. Is Death Stranding 2 indie if all it means is an independent developer?
Re: Sony Has Been Backing PS5, PC Action Game Lost Soul Aside for Almost a Decade
Idk if you can really say its an indie when sony is publishing it
Re: Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 (PS5) - Immersive Knight Sim Makes for a Peerless RPG
Do you recommend having played the first game or is it ok to start with the sequel??

Re: Ninja Gaiden 4 Announced, Slashes to PS5 This Year with PlatinumGames Co-Developing
Looks sick, fun that the series is back is more than retro
Re: Could Wolverine PS5 Launch in 2025? Insomniac Avoids the Question
@AlexPorto Pretty skeptical at this point that there even is a venom game
Re: Rumour: Gears of War, Hellblade 2 Both Set for PS5 This Year
Bring it on. But seriously I just don't get why anyone would buy an xbox at this point, gamespass notwithstanding
Re: Black Myth: Wukong PS5 Patch Adds Challenge Mode, Maps, Free Armour
Was hoping for some pro support ngl
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 2.2 Out Now, Expands Character Creation, Vehicle Customisation, Photo Mode
This is the type of free dookie they should have been doing regularly for the past couple years instead of fixing the game.
Re: Sony Highlights Biggest PS5 Games for 2025 in New Trailer
@Balaam_ Exactly my thought, and a PSA for anyone looking at this, if last year was anything to go off this is no guarantee these games are coming out in 2025
Re: Silent Hill 2 Patch 1.06 Fails to Fix PS5 Pro Problems
@PloverNutter Huh thats interesting
Re: Silent Hill 2 Patch 1.06 Fails to Fix PS5 Pro Problems
@get2sammyb Yes, this. How can it be worse? It defies logic.
Re: STALKER 2's Technical Troubles Likely Fixed By the Time It Comes to PS5
all that advertising and its THREE MONTHS ONLY???
Re: PS5 Pro Packaging Flaunts Its Disc-Free Nature
@LogicStrikesAgain logical
Re: Labour Union Blasts Sony for Looking to Further Monopoly with Studio Closures
The CWA doesn't even represent Neon Koi workers as its an American union and that studio was in Berlin.
Re: Sony Adopting 'Show Don't Tell' Strategy with PS5
@get2sammyb Yeah totally fair.

Re: Metro Awakening Will Be a Reason to Own PSVR2 This Holiday
@Mostik Same here, love Metro.
Re: Expedition 33 Dev Confirms $50 Price Is Correct, '30+ Hours of Main Game'
If it looks this good throughout and plays well and is 60 hours..... damn.
Re: Fans Can't Fathom Why PS5 RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Is So Cheap
Yeah I think that means its going to be shorter and more linear. Which could still be great if the graphics and gameplay hit the whole time.
Re: Kojima's Next Big PlayStation Game Physint Will Take Some Time to Complete
Kojima is one of a kind.
Re: Horizon Zero Dawn PS5 Wins Over PlayStation Fans
I feel like this was more than I was expecting, and for $10 a pretty good deal for when I eventually replay it.
Re: Rumour: Concord Cost $400 Million, Sony Believed It Was the 'Future of PlayStation'
@FatalBubbles Colin said on the show this does NOT include cost of buying studio.
Re: PS5 Exclusives Final Fantasy 16, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Failed to Meet Expectations
@Nem Poppycock!
Re: PS5 Exclusives Final Fantasy 16, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Failed to Meet Expectations
@Banjo- lol
Re: PS5 Exclusives Final Fantasy 16, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Failed to Meet Expectations
@Crono_Roughknight Yeah fair point, maybe its not hurting them at all or not as much as I had assumed. Do not think its the only problem either.

Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's Huge PS5 Pro Enhancements Are a 'Vast Improvement'
@HotGoomba Surely only the CBU3 devs at Square will be able to use this tech.
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's Huge PS5 Pro Enhancements Are a 'Vast Improvement'
Cue people complaining about how much it costs for this amount of clearly observable difference.
