@get2sammyb without reading comments (sorry lol) I'd have to consider it the largest entertainment/multimedia/gaming failure ever. I mean what movie, book, game, TV show can we say has a documented 200-300 million dollar loss? And please. If there is one tell me because I'm at a loss lol

Daaaaaamn. I mean I'm not sure what the alternative would have been but wow. Weird it's the biggest entertainment flop of all time and msm barely flinched or noticed.

My son is absolutely obsessed with Cats Quest 2. We've been having a blast with that. Slowly working towards the ASTRO plat. Mario Party Jamboree is also the best MP in a long time.

Josef is quietly one of the best directors and brightest minds in the industry. I'm all for my single player epics but games, imo, are truly meant to be played together in meaningful ways. The fact he and his team had game mechanics you'd use for one hour that was more polished and fun than developers that base their entire game around those mechanics is nothing short of amazing

@Northern_munkey lol. That last part. Hair is overrated!! But hear me out. Budgets were a fraction (like disproportionately so compared to today) and if you had a banger you could still sell millions of copies. Mario 64 budget was about 1.5 million. Adjusted basically 3 million. It sold 12 million copies at anywhere from 60-90msrp lol.

Most anticipated for me for spring. Unless Yotei gets an april/may release. My last 2 most anticipated were sea of stars and Hogwartz and I loved them both. I'm hoping my gaming intuition is feeling a triple crown moment lol

I think my copy of Chrono Trigger for 94.99 in 1996ish that correlates to about 200$ today says hold my beer. Need to keep it in perspective lol. Also multiple N64 games were crushing the 80$ threshold and there weren't any extra bells and whistles attached to that price tag

Not gonna lie, the title threw me off. But it ended up encompassing both things wrong. It runs poorly and has sold poorly. Title had me thinking the PC port was just ass. But the ps5 version is equally ass. Must be running UE5 lol. They touted that as the second coming for these consoles and in all reality the next ones might be efficient. Best looking (and running after patches) using UE5 for console is still robo cop. Game looked borderline photorealistic standing still lol

This controller and the Concord controller are pretty cool looking

@Oram77 i love the fact that those characters can have life genuinely breathed into them but I was disappointed with Rebirth. Some bosses were just unbearably difficult and they bloated the game imo. Still things I love about it but I had to out it down because it was becoming a slog. I'm in Gongaga...God help me...I hear that's the worst region lol

Everyone better buy this damn game. Everyone. Or there can be no bitching about live service, season passes, battle passes, dlc, MTXs or whatever else everyone wants to cry about lol. I'm going to buy it twice. Once digital to play, once physical to never open and keep in that beautiful cellophane. I'm doing my part. We need to support FUN games over all the other BS.

@Malaise damn that's gotta be unhealthy.

Jeanne d'arc is an amazing tactics style game

I struggle to understand HD2 selling silo well and dwindling player count just as fast? Gotta be a PC player purge due to PSN account nonsense.

My ps3 disk drive just crapped...it's not a hateful repair but also not an easy one (for me anyways). If this were true and it blankets sww studios offerings that would be killer.

Game is gonna sell like crazy because of switch. I wish Nintendo would consider multi for MP4. The rabid but small Metroid fan base isn't gonna be enough to cover 9 years of development.

I need a jumping flash one where you've gotta go skyscraper high for a carrot lol

Preach it!!! Seriously I will double dip Astro. Digital to play. A collectors or deluxe physical for the shelf. That damn game better sell 10mil+ or for shame on all of you!!

I don't get the slimy comment. The platform holder was trying to give their players incentives and perks for having bought their product. If the platforms were entirely agnostic what's the point. "I'll take generic box 1" that in no way differentiates itself from box 2. Count me out If it ever gets to that

I love how everyone (not everyone but a loud crowd on the web) think that Sony has nothing in the pipeline and are just dead in the water lol. The latest interview with Cerny he said that game development is a choice. Devs (and respectfully) their pubs are allowing the 5-6 year dev cycles as feature creep and expanded scope and story keep being such a focal point. I have no doubt that great games are coming from Sony (they havent been market leads for this long by not delivering) and the vague 2025 on a lot of the titles today are probably in place to mitigate backlash for them missing their date, which we don't even know lol. I'm glad some bangers were shown today. Xbox has spent damn near 100 Billion in the last 3 years. It SHOULD be resulting in impressive games. But damn 33 and E-Day stole the show imo

@Frmknst I get sometimes it can clutter up a screen but it totally helps correlate damage done with damage % to overall health of the enemy. Without knowing how much damage you are doing relative to their health how can you properly plan attacks or strategise for a boss battle/hard battle. This really only needs to apply to RPGs of this nature though

This and E-Day just stole it. Overall a really great presentation. Stalker 2 looks amazing. It was very 1st person heavy though imo. Playstation finds themselves in a unique position. My guess is they let the dust settle and announce a Playstation Showcase in like September/October to boost holiday sales. They will need to have at least 2 if not 3 big first party games to release next year imo.

Man Playstation marketing team is freaking amazing. Especially the ***** the do in Europe. And I'm a Statey but would sure love those tickets. One of you PushSquare regulars on that side of the pond better be lining up for some pinball and win those tickets!!

HD2 reporting big drop off too. Hope they turn that around because it's a blast. Concurrent was down around 60k from a Hugh off almost 500k. They gotta make these major orders easier to finish.

Gotta get the GT7 treatment and have VR2 as an option. Otherwise, it kinda feels like a smack in the face.

@J-Dubs whatever bend is working on. ASTRO 2 from asobi and for sure a reveal on Ghosts 2. Imo of course lol

I wonder if Sony Axing so many in England isn't relative to cost of living/exchange rates etc. I know the pound is the standard in the right perspective. I'm purely speculating and don't have a clue lol. Also you can see none of their titles, as great as they were, sold like crazy

@nomither6 well if it spans 3 generations it could lol. I mean GTA should be the photo beside the word "milking" in Websters 😅

@MikeOrator all the spidermans, divisions, watch dogs, dead islands, dying lights cyberpunk hasn't satiated your appetite...I kid I kid lol. I guess I find modern settings boring to an extent...i did buy gta on my ps3 (crazy even typing that) and had my fun but I just don't get the hype

Wtf is taking so long. I don't even care for gta but is it just going to be the most absurdly large game that everyone else will go belly up trying to mimic? Gta is almost bad for the industry collectively lol

Sea of Stars is so damn good

Rebirth...but damn...I'm kinda getting tired of it. The OG is my all time favorite but there is TOO much in this game. I don't wanna bother thru too fast though because being underpowered doesn't work in this game. Other than that HD2 as always and random bouts of Battlefront coop, Clone drone and Shredders Revenge with the boy

Think of the talent that's going to leave and go to Sony, Nintendo, Valve etc. I can't imagine any rank and file developer has any faith in good will for them. The quality of all the IPs they now own will be much worse.

If I'm a game dev that statement equates to a bunch of us being let go once the game ships and doesn't meet expectations (that's the IP has been able to hit for years) we are all toast.

I'd like to think we get actual reveals from Bend and Sucker Punch. Concord release and actual reveal, FairGame$ deeper dive and release. Insomniac are wizards to I expect Wolverine and a release window. Housemarque next game reveal. AstroBot reveal and release date for this year (let's go), nothing from ND, SSM, FireSprite or Media Molecule. Gotta be a big year. Been baking in the oven a log time

Just savage. Makes the cuts nintendo and Sony made seem paltry by comparison. All that company valuation means nothing to the people that helped create their worth. Also, I think this is prove that their gaming model hemorrhages money. They only speak in 'revenue' never profit. I think they have created a model that doesn't work and they can't backtrack at this point. Imagine if going forward they said no day 1 releases on Gamepass. Phil and Booty making Don look like a genuis

@pyrrhic_victory it was there. You probably just weren't playing a game with such a large PC base. It is necessary evil to sustain the AAA budget of in house games. Not saying all PC players are toxic or anything but it's a divisive crowd

Sony and Nintendo will dig in when they feel needed. Such craziness from consumer and provider alike

Like 5 Sony exclusives in the top 20. Man HD2 is just a beast. What a great game. Side note...Dave the Diver has stopped my Rebirth progression in its tracks. Really special game if you haven't tried it.

My 2 favorite rpgs of all time are the inspiration? Sign me up. If it's even half as good as Sea of Stars it'll be great

Dave the Diver has put FF7R on the back burner...haven't left Corel in a week now lol. The cadence of DtD is just so. Damn. Good. Also bought the new tmnt game that was ported from an arcade only game. Wrath of the Mutants. It's no shredders revenge but is faithful turtles beat em up for me and my son lol

The worst fallout since it went first person. Would have been way more excited for 3 or new Vegas to get this treatment

Considering they have a Platformer to rival (if not beat) the likes of Mario himself it's beyond baffling how long its been. Maybe they just didn't sell well enough which is CRIMINAL. If anything, I'd consider putting Rayman AND ASTRO bot above a lot of recent entries from the fabled plumber lol.

Top 5 are top 5. I'd switch rise with part 2 but otherwise excellent job my friends across the pond

Sony need to Crack the "death knell" code of PS3. Mark Cerny is worth is weight in gold. The biggest announcement Sony could dump rn is that ps3 is playable VIA DOWNLOAD. to play games like Folklore, 3D DOT Heroes, MGS4, Resistance Trilogy, White Knight Chronicles, Motor Storm, Heavenly Sword, OG Demon Souls, Eternal Sonata, Infamous 1 and 2, SFxTekken, Twisted Metal....I can keep going. Such an amazing library DEAD. And I love the PS community....don't hit me with just turn on your ps3 please lol.

And sorry for the rant. Love my Playstation(s) but damnit that console has gems

Imagine part 3 getting canned because of part 2's sales....I think they'd have to just shut down lol.

Boooo Wendy!! Saturated market is saturated

@The_ghostmen it's the covid affect. The entire industry is reeling from the world going back outside. It was in no way his fault. Obvious course correction for the entire industry

Feel like this dude catches more hate than he should. Everyone has a vision and it isn't always great or work out how intended. He, imo, k ew what he was doing in his roles. I mean before ceo he ran marketing in Europe and Playstation utterly dominates Europe. Wasn't a giant fan of the "live service" push but that moniker gets thrown around in weird ways. I mean AC Ragnarok could be considered live service but has an entire core game and you can avoid the rest and still have a complete experience.

Coooool Boarders!
