Sony should just remaster Killzone 1-3 along with Shadowfall, Mercenaries, and Liberation in one single collection. Let's see if Killzone fans and these people who keeps complaining on twitter gonna buy the collection or not.
If the collection sold well then there's a proof the series still has strong demand. But if it's a flop then the series deserves to stay dead and buried.
I'm not a fans of Killzone. I only played Killzone Liberation but none of Killzone 1-3, Shadowfall, and Mercenary. So i don't care that much if Killzone stay dead or not.
@ElectricWizard You said "Xbox owners getting involved" here not just that dude Striker21 or maybe i read it wrong?
And why should PS fans needs to hear what Xbox fans says, especially the ones who only glaze Xbox and downplaying PS? What's the benefit from doing that?
Good decision. There's no need to add a big headache from buying WB and cleaning up their mess that leads to lots of layoff. Just focus on delivering what you have.
But dang, i didn't know Totoki is a big anime fans. I wonder what anime that made him as a believer, was it Demon Slayer or maybe classic ones like Gundam, DBZ, or...Fist of the North Star? π
@UltimateOtaku91 I'm not sure why Xbox fans tried so hard to defend Xbox in here. It's not like it will change the outcome where Xbox Series suddenly sold 200 million units and MS backtrack on releasing their games for PS5 π
@ElectricWizard What do you want exactly? A Playstation centric site where most commenters are PS fans should praise Xbox and downplaying PS like striker21 did? Then i guess Sammy or the staff needs to change this site name as PureXbox 2 lol.
@Striker21 It seems you don't understand how to read financial report. You also misunderstood about "didn't meet expectations = commercial failure". FYI a game can still selling well and even profitable despite it didn't meet company highest expectations.
From page 17, KT said they launched several new IP for consoles / PC and their highest expectation was these new IP can sold 5 million copies for lifetime sales. But despite they didn't meet KT lifetime sales expectations in launch year, they was still categorized as "hit titles" who performs well and received high ratings.
But the most important info from that report is KT profits managed to "reached all time high" thanks to strong performances from games.
So let's say Rise of the Ronin didn't meet 5 million lifetime target sales in 2024. But that doesn't mean it's "a commercial failure" like you claim. In fact, the game strong performance contributes to KT very positive 2024 which exceeded their previous financial year.
Like i said, KT didn't lie when they said Rise of the Ronin sold well. But i'm not sure why you try to spin it as a failure π€·ββοΈ
@Striker21 That was from KT financial report so there's no "marketing strategy" from their positive statement because they need to tell the truth for their shareholders and also responsibility for Japan tax agency. If KT lies then that would mean they breaking the laws. So if KT said Rise of the Ronin sold well then it is the truth.
Unless you know what KT doesn't know then be my guess, you can put all your legit source in here that state Rise of the Ronin is a commercial failure.
Also, i'm pretty sure SE never share the official budget for FF XVI and VII Rebirth. So why are you so sure both games doesn't sold well when SE financial report only said both games didn't reach their highest target sales.
And if Spiderman 2 budget was at $300 million then selling at 12 million copies x $70 /copy would give Sony roughly around $840 million revenue. Minus the $300 mill, taxes, and retail cut, Sony would earn roughly $500 million profit which still enough to funded new 1st party games. And as we speak, Spiderman 2 also still selling so it's worth the investment.
But if only Disney/Marvel didn't charge crazy expensives for Spiderman license / royalty, the game budget would be much cheaper.
@ElectricWizard You mean his "opinions" where his glazing Xbox and downplaying Playstation success? His argument missed a lot of mark and doesn't have solid source either. So yeah, he should stick with PureXbox. There he can glaze Xbox all he wants instead of here.
Also, since when PushSquare comment section is a sterile echo chamber when everyday there's always someone complaining about Sony live service, Sony 1st party studios woke this woke that, PS+ games lineup, etc etc.
I just replaced my OLED PS Vita battery. So right now i'm playing two games on it:
Parasite Eve 2 (PS1 classic)
Continuing this game again. Right now i'm at the shelter just exploring and eliminating NMC's with M4A1 equip with Grenade Launcher.
I'm really enjoying this game despite it didn't use ATB like PE 1. Heck, probably a hot take but combat wise i'm enjoying this game a bit more than PE 1. Graphic also looks better than PE 1 and on OLED screen it looks a bit better too. My only complaints: 1) Music aren't as memorable as PE 1. 2) Inventory management is quite annoying.
Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero? (PSP)
One of my backlog. Years ago i've reach the final boss but my memory stick got corrupted and wiped out all save files. It's a fun game and very challenging too. I hope i can finish it this weekend.
When comes to A.I, my mind only think about how devs can make enemies A.I more advance or smarter.
But this, where devs just let A.I do their job from designing characters, dialogues, story, coding, etc? So they want more lazy instead of putting more effort and creativity?
Well...i'm sure as hell not gonna buy EA games. It's not like lately they pump out many good games either.
Targeting a 30% profit margin is just nuts when the competitors like Sony and Nintendo who did a lot better than Xbox doesn't even achieve that high profit margin.
But this is the result of greed, mismanagement, and unhealthy obsession to monopoly the gaming market + kill the competitors.
MS thinks they can kill three birds with one stone: kicked out Sony from the gaming market once and for all + achieve total monopoly + earn ultra high profits margin with Bethesda & Acti-B acquisition / GP. But what they did is actually killing the Xbox brand lol.
I have no sympathy for MS. They deserves those L's.
@OldGamer999 If you only want games with 92+ scores then I guess you skipped a lot of good games back in PS1, PS2, PS3, and PS4 era. Most Sony games from that era wasn't in the 90+ scores. Some examples:
@Sweetz That's the thing. People are okay with male protags who aren't a straight good guy and with jerk personality. But somehow female protags can't have the same trait? It's just weird how we can't do both or how some people condemned female characters with that trait.
And there's female anti-hero like Ada Wong, Bayonetta, Catwoman, Harley Quinn, Kaine from Nier, Zero from Drakengard 3, or Velvet Crowe from Tales of Berseria.
@DennisReynolds Not just go ape but they would make hundreds videos of how Samus, Chun-Li, Cammy etc are just bad and people should boycott the game. F*, i really hate those grifters :/
@DennisReynolds I'm glad that Lara Croft, Samus, Jill Valentine, Claire Redfield, Ada Wong, Aya Brea, Chun-Li, Cammy etc was lucky that they got created and came out in the 80's, 90's, and early 2000. And yeah, if they came out today they wouldn't be appreciated and got called out as woke, girlboss, etc.
The weird thing is we got many male protags who's kinda an ass**** and also a mass murderer lol like Duke Nukem, Max Payne, Hotline Miami Jacket, Greek era Kratos etc but people never boycott or called them out.
Heck, some male protags are just straight out psychopath / sociopath like GTA V Trevor Philips, Tekken Kazuya Mishima, or Twisted Metal Sweeth Tooth and people loves them lol.
Considering the lore, Phoenix doesn't look fit for a beat em up game when she can easily turn everything into ashes. Even in fighting game like UMvC 3, she's pretty much broken / above every character in the tier list.
I feel character like Blade, Daredevil, Luke Cage, Gambit, or Deadpool are more fit than Phoenix.
@danzoEX Yeah we just got Lunar HD Collection, Suikoden I + II HD, Eiyuuden Chronicles, FF Tactics, DQ III HD, Octopath Traveler, and more 2D RPG's.
Meanwhile 2D Tales are M.I.A. We never get Rebirth, Destiny 1 remake, and Destiny 2 which never been localized even once.
@arzis100193 Probably lost the source code but they still can reverse engineering. If SE can release their 2D RPG like FF I-VI collection, Tactics, or Saga Frontier then i'm sure Bamco can do it with their 2D Tales.
@CielloArc "For me this reeks of AC Shadows levels of propaganda"
Propaganda for what purpose exactly and why Sony doesn't do that to Concord or Lost Soul Aside, Forspoken, Destruction AllStars, and any mediocre or flop 1st party games?
And why would Ubisoft lies about AC Shadows numbers?
@Vaako007 "If it did exceptionally well they would have bragged about it with numbers"
While Sony not yet announce and bragged about the numbers, that doesn't mean the game is underperforming.
Example. To this day, Sony / PD never announced GT 7 official numbers either. They only announced the series already pass 100 million copies which is Sony best selling 1st party franchise. But estimates said GT 7 sold 14 million copies, far higher than Astro Bot 1.5 million copies that Sony announced the official numbers back in november last year. I'm sure GT 7 made a lot of money for Sony.
The same with MLB The Show series. Sony never announced the numbers for each game but every year each game always consistently chart in the top 10 and got positive reviews.
"but what about late ports of Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls or even Fairgames?"
Don't know about Fairgames. But i think Marvel Tokon would do well if they get port to Xbox or Switch 2. The question is would Sony port Marvel Tokon to Xbox and Switch 2?
Sold well in Japan, EU, and US and performed consistently just like Tsushima. Congrats to SP + Sony ππ»
The haters and grifters are seething right now lmao.
@DadJKP You clearly doesn't know about Circana or used to known as NPD Group (National Purchase Diary). They are one of the biggest market research and tech company in the world. They're operating in 20 countries and helps retailers, manufactures, financial analyst, and public sector of how to measure their performances as well improve marketing, predict future performances, and identify business trends.
Circana stop giving sales numbers for free years ago and they only give it to people / company who paid for their service. So if Circana report says Ghost of Yotei is performed well and consistently similar to Ghost of Tsushima then that would be accurate.
If you still don't believe this report then maybe you could do your own. You can visit every retailers around the world and ask them how many Yotei copies they've sold. Good luck.
@Flaming_Kaiser I don't see why not? Garou Mark of the Wolves was $6-10 on PSN and it has online match + rollback netcode. I'm sure lots of Tekken fans wouldn't mind spend $15-20 for Tekken 3 with online + rollback.
Really sad to see Bamco thinks 2D Tales games aren't exist. I don't even remember when was the last time they re-release, port, or even remastered 2D Tales :/
@PSbox This year, PushSquare gave Forza Horizon 5, Doom TDA, and Indiana Jones a 8/10 with GoW Reloaded got a 7/10. On the other hand, Lost Soul Aside which is a PS exclusive got 6/10.
And Tekken 3 not just a timeless masterpiece but it was one of the best fighting games that showed the world how to do a gorgeous + smooth 3D fighting game.
Not sure why you think it's all about PS vs Xbox when it's as simple as PushSquare staff has their own taste. But maybe you should stick with PureXbox if you think PushSquare has bias against Xbox games.
I would love to but currently i'm short of money and i'm finishing some of my backlog.
@Enuo "Every Platinum game is either a failed experiment, or a functionally identical character action game"
Vanquish, Metal Gear Rising, Bayonetta, Wonderful 101, and Nier Automata aren't failed experiment nor identical. Heck, Sol Cresta is a shmup and Star Fox Zero is a rail shooter, not character action game.
I only ask one thing: PS6 have BC that not just can play PS4 & PS5 disc but also for PS1, PS2, and PS3 disc.
But like @UltimateOtaku91 said, Sony already tried pretty much all the tricks and gimmicks. Unless PS6 is very advanced that we can jack into the matrix, then there would be no big leap between PS5 and 6.
And i think Nintendo also in the same position which is why Switch 2 is just Switch 1 but with more power.
@Truegamer79 Yeah there's no history of NG games with "great story". All was very simple and straight forward with some lore here and there. And the last time they tried to focus more on story and characters development, we got NG 3 which was the weakest game in the 3D trilogy.
NG series is the series where players to fully focus on gameplay and feels like a badass ninja rather than spend their time watching cutscenes and long dialogues. So not sure why reviewers expecting NG 4 will be different.

Re: 'Our Biggest Competition Isn't Another Console': Xbox Doubles Down on Multiformat After Halo PS5 Shock
@Lowdefal KT said on their financial report that Rise of the Ronin sold well and outsold Nioh in the first month. So it's not a commercial failure like that guy claim.

And Tekken 3 not just a timeless masterpiece but it was one of the best fighting games that showed the world how to do a gorgeous + smooth 3D fighting game.
Not sure why you think it's all about PS vs Xbox when it's as simple as PushSquare staff has their own taste. But maybe you should stick with PureXbox if you think PushSquare has bias against Xbox games.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Ninja Gaiden 4?
I would love to but currently i'm short of money and i'm finishing some of my backlog.
@Enuo "Every Platinum game is either a failed experiment, or a functionally identical character action game"
Vanquish, Metal Gear Rising, Bayonetta, Wonderful 101, and Nier Automata aren't failed experiment nor identical. Heck, Sol Cresta is a shmup and Star Fox Zero is a rail shooter, not character action game.

No cons for no online match?
Re: Disappointment As Tekken 3 Is the Latest PS1 Classic to Launch without Trophies
I much prefer it have online match + rollback netcode over trophies.
Re: 'Even I ο»ΏCan't Tell the Difference': Shuhei Yoshida Thinks PS6 Needs Something Other Than Just More Power
I only ask one thing: PS6 have BC that not just can play PS4 & PS5 disc but also for PS1, PS2, and PS3 disc.
But like @UltimateOtaku91 said, Sony already tried pretty much all the tricks and gimmicks. Unless PS6 is very advanced that we can jack into the matrix, then there would be no big leap between PS5 and 6.
And i think Nintendo also in the same position which is why Switch 2 is just Switch 1 but with more power.
Re: Ninja Gaiden 4 (PS5) - A Bloodthirsty Action Game Ripped Straight from the PS3 Era
@Truegamer79 Yeah there's no history of NG games with "great story". All was very simple and straight forward with some lore here and there. And the last time they tried to focus more on story and characters development, we got NG 3 which was the weakest game in the 3D trilogy.
NG series is the series where players to fully focus on gameplay and feels like a badass ninja rather than spend their time watching cutscenes and long dialogues. So not sure why reviewers expecting NG 4 will be different.
