These publishers are crazy, just 4 million of nba 2k21 sales at 60$ which it will certainly sell that amount in the first month (let's say they earn 45$ on average if we include the mamba forever rip-off edition). They'll earn 180m$. And that's not including VCs. If this amount is not sufficient for 2k, then f*ck 2k.

@Shinobi1Kenoby I bet you love playing ark survival evolved and the outer worlds on docked. Nintendo fanboy, you know zelda looks like ass when compared to CEMU? Not that I suggest you don't buy the game but it's just hilarious the enormous difference (look for zelda ray traced on youtube)

@Shinobi1Kenoby "ALL yakuza games are mediocre" is one of the most disgusting things I've ever heard. The best video game series is described as being "mediocre". Another ignorant thing you said "DLC used to add to games to extend the longevity of their appeal, now they’re encumbered with the design of the game from day one as a business strategy. Sad to see." Are you serious? the strategy for publishers is to NOT release dlcs after the game is out??? Are you living in a rock, literally most games come with a season pass and most dlcs are ideas the developer didn't chose to include in the main game and sell it later for a profit. Having a game with no dlc is the way to go as you can one coherent experience unlike when the story is incomplete and you need a dlc to complete it (FF XV, DA:I anyone). https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/explore/ps4-exclusives/ doesn't include 3rd party exclusives and those are very important to any console. Also, there are much more than those exclusives I mentioned since every single game that's released in japan first and then translated to english after was a ps4 exclusive at some time (Yakuza 7, death and request 2, Trails of cold steel 4, YS IX, Yakuza isshin, chaos child chu chu and many many more.) The ps4 exclusive list can be doubled if you include those type of games. And as I said, you can criticize sony as much as you want, but it's the best gaming platform for GAMES and with the ps5 launching. The PC masterrace will be no more as the ps5 (and series x for that matter) will more powerful than most pcs out there and if the games are better optimized for these systems than it might outperforms even a flagship gpu

@Shinobi1Kenoby You saying that yakuza 6 is the same as yakuza 3, and that judgment and fist of the north star are mediocre at best means you haven't played them and that you are forming an opinion based on .. nothing (imagine saying anything yakuza related is mediocre... the sheer stupidity and lack of taste). I bet you haven't played any game I mentioned and based on your first comment, you don't play any jrpg it seems. If you ask any jrpg fan you'll know the ps4 is simply amazing in terms of exclusives. Also "Gaming culture is dying and micro transaction graphic whorism is rife all because of Sony and Microsoft" Wth? ALL Sony 1st party titles "besides ND games" have 0 microtransaction in them, at most 1 dlc as it's the case with HZD. Maybe Microsoft has them since they make mostly MP games unlike Sony which focuses on SP. If anything, Sony is the company that is the final grace for what you're saying, if sony 1st party games go full microtransaction mode then Western gaming is doomed (A lot of jrpgs franchises are still free of any dlc or microtransaction like dragon quest, star ocean, final fantasy (besides XV, there are no Mt in any ff game), Danganronpa, Kingdom hearts...)

I mean the N.sane trilogy is 40e, if they are gonna price this at 70e than the same length as the trilogy is a given. It should have way more content for the price. If it's the same than it's seriously a rip-off

@Shinobi1Kenoby Maybe you don't play jrpgs, but the jrpg ps4 exclusive selection is strong: Persona 5 royal (that isn't on ps3), yakuza 6, judgment, Fist of the north star, Sakura wars, FF7r, nioh 2, bloodborne, Star ocean: Faith and integrity (look these up, they aren't playable on anything besides a ps4, some may go to pc or switch later but as of now, the ps4 is the only way to play them). If you don't like this type of games, then your loss. But to anyone who is a jrpg fan, the ps4 is a godsend. Switch, on the other hand plays games like ***** and emulators handle their games better than their own hardware.

@Shinobi1Kenoby Switch is better than ps4???? Nothing on the switch can compare to persona 5 royal. Also, 3rd party games on the switch are 95% a much inferior experience over ps4 and 100% inferior over a ps4 pro. If you don't want ps5 and you find it's exclusives lacking then you're more than welcome to play forza horizon 5 and halo 6 on xbox. Nobody will miss you.

@3Above That's the point I'm trying to make. When they say "higher framerates" I'm sure they don't speak about 10 fps more because that term is used to describe the transition between 30 to 60fps or from 60 to 120fps.

Dragon quest XII

Nah, I disagree. Dragon quest XI has more content than 99% of games and it launched at 60$ with a 100h campaing with 0 dlc. And obviously gorgeous graphics. FF7r is also like that. If square enix (which has better business practices than CD projekt red) can do it, then why can't sony. Besides, let's take god of war, if it sells 5 million the first at the 60$ mark, it makes at least 200m$ (if we remove tax and such). Don't tell me god of war costs more than 100m$, that's just bull**** coming out from layden.

@Adol_Xin Both games are on psnow?
