Re: Unfazed by Concord, Sony Doubles Down on Exploring Service Games

Orpheus79V

Not sure why anyone is surprised by this. We've known they've had many live service games in the works. The idea is to throw a bunch of them out to see what sticks, if a few succeed it'll pay for the ones that failed. Sony knew going in that some of the projects would be failures, and others would be cancelled before making it to market.

Re: SEGA President Calls Sonic Superstars a 'Disappointment'

@Banjo- Yeah Superstars is a solid 7/10 imo. Obviously a big step down from Mania, but it's much better than the recent 2D output aside from that game (Sonic 4, the 3DS games). Pretty impressive turnaround from the Balan Wonderworld team as well. Give them another 3-4 years to polish up what they started with here and the next game could really be something. Drop the 4 player co-op - 2 is enough for 2D Sonic - and the online mode nobody plays, give boss fights better pacing, more characters (Mighty and Ray return) and stages and you're golden.

Re: One Month Later, PS Stars Cash Rewards Finally Return

@NeuralDeclan it was a completely random issue. Some were affected, some weren't. I only had £10 wallet funds available. Some believe it was A/B testing but it's probably just a glitch that Sony took a while to fix because Stars doesn't seem like a huge priority given the long outage.
