"We’re not sure, but it’ll need to have a big publisher behind it because setting up an activation like this on the outskirts of LA can’t have been cheap."
Can't wait for it to be released completely buggy and borderline unplayable and for Square to release 1 minor patch for it and then run off with the money.
Sounds like you're just simping for them. I mean, you're a primarily Playstation focused website. I don't think you can really comment from any kind of believable non-bias.
The main issue I have with Sony if they've spent so long mucking around with stuff people are clearly saying they don't want, (GaaS) that they've fallen behind making any GREAT games. Their SoP just seemed like a middle ground of "been there, done that". Total lack of innovation or interesting games at all. They are stagnant as they've been chasing the GaaS Fairy for so long and remastering games that don't require remastering, they've forgotten how to make a good game and get people excited for them.
What areas of Dark Souls 3 needs a remaster?! It's looks brilliant now!! Don't tell me, rebuild in Unreal Engine 5 so it barely functions or rebuild in DX12 where it barely functions... sigh.
Bloodborne just needs 60fps and 4k option and nothing else. It's fine and just needs a PC port. Do that.
Because you have an older generation console which is holding back advancements and then you had an industry leading Xbox PC Game Pass which was envied by everyone... and then ruined it with constant price increases and changes in tiers.
Xbox is a dying brand. They just arent doing anything fun or innovative. Plus, the Xbox controller feels like a Tonka toy compared to Sense
@AverageGamer Please direct me to this place where the game is "vastly" cheaper to purchase than FF7R on Steam when it's on sale (£34.99) when the sale price is still too expensive for the age of this game.
The reason on PC for sales being low, is they don't understand how Steam pricing works! FF7: Remake is stupidly priced for a game that's been out so long. If people can't play that, they won't be inclined to grab a PS5 to play the sequel. Lower the damn price on Steam and MAYBE some people's impatience will work in your benefit. But Square gotta Square and stick to those moon-logic prices.
More evidence of how delusional these CEO's are. They only see money and their stupid narrow-minded spin. How about the optics? PS5 is barely worth getting. Nowhere near enough exclusives to make it tempting, a rubbish build and it's visually ugly and it's still overpriced. Most people don't care about it that I've talked to, just going to PC gaming or sticking with PS4. I'm absolutely chuffed I didn't knee-jerk purchase one. Sounds worthless. Not paying £500 to play Spider-Man 2.
The problem with this remake is that everything in MGS3 is a comic book situation or character. Having realistic looking assets and characters isn't important to that and may even be detrimental. I think this is a crazy misstep and a cash in
I think the only real issue here is when the digital copies cost way more than physical, considering there's less cost involved as you don't have to make the physical media. However, it does move that data onto servers that need to be constantly maintained and the rest of the infrastructure needed to deliver them.
I DO think the prices are stupid, but at the same time, that's why I don't own a Lambo. I simply don't buy them. For me, the problem is solved. I just wait for sales.
Personally, I think the court will rule that Sony can charge what they like because options do exist between ignoring digital sales altogether, waiting for sales or buying discs.
Now that all changes if Sony move to an ENTIRELY digital storefront and stop producing physical media that can be resold at better prices, but we aren't there yet. I can't help feel this should have waited until then...
@Jamesblob It doesnt need an audience outside of the "cellphone" crowd. They are the ones daft enough to keep paying for things in these sorts of games
Probably because you asked a massive group of PC only players, to purchase the FOURTH game in a series without providing the means for them to play the first trilogy and get to know the characters. It's like starting with Memberberries and then going back to watch what they are talking about. It's backwards and dumb.
Call of Duty isn't exactly the top-tier product it once was. It's only because the sheeple are so indoctrinated into it's economy that it appears to be popular. If Sony took two seconds to think about it, creating a COD-beater isn't all that hard. Just may take a little effort and money. With all the exclusives Sony hold onto (with only PC benefitting from ports), it's very cheeky of them to suggest Microsoft act any differently to them.
