I really hoped for it to be like Monster Hunter. A handful of friends playing together, coordinating and teamwork against machines. That'd be hugh. Especially, also in the Asian territories. Where Sony seem to struggle to sell their first party games. Hope it's more than just two players.

Would be nice to have Naughty Dog news in more positive manner. Well, Neil now rules on his own.

@Splat Remember the Internet is not a real place. Doesn't matter how many people on Internet trashed on Cod annually. Millions of people who are not participating on the internet with gaming related stuff bought it. Hence CoD has sold 15-25 million copies every single year.

FFXVI still going strong. Love to see it.
And what about them legs of Kratos. God of War Ragnarok is super strong. Star Wars Jedi Survivor also is still up there is so nice.
This year is amazing

Let's hope it is true. And let's hope Microsoft won't aquire them and make it exclusive to its platform.

The FF Pixel Remasters were topnotch. Even though I only played the first 3. I really enjoyed them.
With FFXVI being an easy GotY contender and Live A Live was topping its original by a mile, it's safe to say Square Enix might be getting back in shape.
Minus the Forspoken one. We just ignore that.

Who cares. Vast majority will stay on Twitter.
Elon is king. He has improved Twitter like nobody could have done. Haters gonna hate just as potato gonna potate.

@middyone Yes, Multi Billion Dollar companies always know better.
It's not like people told that Billion Dollar company that those expensive memory cards is a stupid idea and will be the reason why the Vita will flop.
It's not like people told that billion dollar company that Cell Processor are really hard to develop for and they shouldn't put em inside a console.
It's not like people told that billion dollar company that Cell Processor are NOT the future and you'll have problems to play those games on subsequent consoles.
It's not like people told that billion dollar company that glueing that ID and the PS Name together into database would result into issues changing PS names in the long run.
It's not like people told that billion dollar company that transparency when DDoS occurs is highest priority. Remember 2011?
It's not like people told that billion dollar company launching a 700 dollar console is DoA.
Bottom line: Billion dollar companies make mistakes all the time. And GG being mismanaged is one of em. Now hush you coparate slave.

@LordBakemono What points were given? A bIgGeR mAp? NeW aNiMaTiOnS? UnDeR wAtEr? Ridiculous to claim that those points caused an almost 500% increase on costs. Get the ***** off!!!
GG is mismanaged.

That time exclusives. Something Xbox would never do...

Microsoft really being Draco Malfoy trying to outdo Harry by buying Nimbus 2001 for everybody to get into the team.

@AdamNovice You didnt provide any point for an explaination of an almost 500% increase in costs. GG is mismanaged.

@get2sammyb You wrote the article actually. https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2017/03/horizon_zero_dawn_cost_a_reported_e45_million_to_make

@AdamNovice All I read was mismanaged. Every point you made, did not remotely explained how the costs went from 45 million to 220 million. Because of little bit more map, a few animations and nicer graphics it drove the costs up to almost 500%. Guerrila Games is mismanaged. Even The Last of Us Part 2 is questionable.
Hows the saying: give an artist enough rope and he will hang himself.
These people completely lost their minds.

How did Horizon Zero Dawn cost 45 million dollars and Forbidden West 220 million?
Sounds completely mismanaged. They are barely differences between them.

That's amazing. I love FFXVI. Might end up being my favorite FF ever.
All them alarmist can suck a toe now 😂😂😂

60.000 * 29,99 = around 1.800.000 bucks. Minus the 30% going to Sony/Steam
= 1.260.000 bucks remains.
I wonder what the expectation was.
I mean 1.2 million dollars should easily cover the costs of such artsy fartsy type of video games, I assume.

My GotY right there at the top. And God of War Ragnarok still in the top ten is crazy. And also Hogwarts Legacy still strong.
This year is amazing.

Well, then Microsoft made the better deal. I never understood why Sony would spend millions of dollars to get a game for one year instead of getting the entire IP for a few millions more to own future installments.

On my PS friends list, everybody seem to be on it. I love that hype.

Might not be linked to PS Plus but I want Picture in Picture functionality. Hell, I'd Upgrade to Extra or Premium to have that feature.

I have played the demo and enjoyed what I played.
One question though, can you transfer the save data from demo onto the game?

@Korgon I didn't mean Naughty Dog is the one being useless but just generally spoken about some Playstation studios being useless.
And I loved The Last of Us Pt. 2. I think it's a masterpiece.
All I'm saying is Naughty Dog isn't the same from the PS3 era when they blessed the Playstation Nation with 4 defining video games.
The flapship has been exchanged.

Naughty Dog hasn't been the flagship Playstation studio since 2018 anyways.
Insomniac Games is the one that defines Playstation now.
These guys create worlds, characters, dialogs, gameplays, music and much more that Playstation players resonate with.

I really wish, Sony shut down some more useless studios and redirect these resources to Insomniac Games to grow them even bigger and have even a more frequent output than they already have.

This is by far, Sonys very worst Showcase.
After almost 2 years of radio silence, we got this? Absymal.

Where is Naughty Dog, Bluepoint, Sucker Punch and all the other ones that define the Playstation console?
Waste of time.

They better have something ready.
And it better be better than that Days Gone trashness.
These guys take forever to put one single game out and then it is not even decent of quality.
Kind of crazy Sony hasn't shut them down yet.

Well, what was their previous strategy?
Releasing whatever?
Can they just flip a switch to make that happen or do they have an actual plan?
Like a higher quality control.
Listen and adopt to more fan feedback.

I sincerely enjoyed their remakes (Live a Live and FF7)
If they use the same methods onto their other projects, I don't see a reason why they can't.

It's crazy, it feels like the world is awaiting for THAT Playstation Showcase.
It got to be atomically bombastic.
Cmon Sony give us something!

I knew this would be coming. The PS5 and Series X are powerful enough for games running 60 frames with high fidelity.
I'm glad it'll be here soon.

Geez. That's big as a Tallneck.

I completed Live A Live and now I wanted to purchase Star Wars Jedi Survivors. So it's good timing.
Let me know if the patch actually makes the game playable.

Live A Live didn't chart and neither did FF Pixel Collection.
You guys disgust me.

I've been playing Live A Live since its release and I am at the final chapter.
That game is outstanding.

For all JRPG fan, that is a must-play and must-own.

@Bamila they do that already but it always takes a week longer. Then they release the combined numbers. And they are usually pretty similiar than these ones.

If anyone deserves to have such a high amount of devs, it is Insomniac Games. These guys have put of more games than Naughty Dog, Santa Monica and Guerrila Games combined.

@Sil_Am I don't think Ratchet and Clank has the budget like Spider Man or God of War so the money it has make is much smaller.

@Anti-Matter Yes! Please. I need another Ratchet and Clank. Rift Apart was amazing.

I think they should start working on Dreams 2: The Nightmare Edition.

That was the only game I was sincerely rooting to get ported onto PC. We PS players aren't as creative or dedicated to make games. But them PC players, in their basements, hiding from sunshine and fresh air, would definitely push this game, which is essentially a very consumer friendly engine, to its absolute and create amazing experiences. What a bummer.

@Tharsman Apparently PC gaming isnt as big as you might think outside of China. If a game doesnt appeal to China, like most console games, it wont find big success. Just take a look at PubG, CS and all these topdown games. They are the typical PC games and theyre all appeal to the Chinese market.
Especially in Europe and NA - console is king.

I'm so hyped about them remastered ones coming to Playstation. I've never played any of em. Having the opportunity to catch up is awesome.

I'm glad that the community is upset about it. All publishers should be given the same standards. Capcom is no exception.

I'd be interested. It'd be horrible to have another hardware Sony needs to create games for that could be directed to their main hardware, the PS5. Having a streaming device on the go is nice.

God of War still in the top ten is such a delight.

It's a superb game. 8/10. Capcom has been one of the best in the industry since Biohazard.

Wow wasting resources that should have gotten to Playstation players. Here we are begging for any showcase to update the state of Sonys first party studios and they pour all that resources to these basement dwelling virgins and fail even at that.

All these numbers look horrible. What's the average peak of launch games on Steam?

@ShogunRok Well, NPD is associated with something entirely different. Especially, when one try to Google it. You'd be surprised.

Playstation is dat Greatstation.
Record after record will be crushed by dat Greatstation.

Frigging ridiculous. Sonys in-house studios should focus on the Playstation 5. Doesn't Sony have a port studio now? Nixxes, wasn't it?
Video games take a long enough to develop. The one advantage developing for a platform just became obsolete.
Now we got to wait even longer for a game to release. Fukk dat shiiiit

I just finished it. A superb game, indeed. Took me around 19 hours.
It had been my first time. I never played the original. This year in gaming is really good.
