@ShogunRok how long is this game looking? And like how many floors do they do? Interested to see you say its like a souls like. Im incredibly still interested in an aincrad world and on a custom character
Well no physical is also going to take a toll on game sales to a degree. They use the 15% physical but for non sports games or annualized cod % is much higher
@Propaperpusher for real and in terms of size and cost of running the studio, its much lower at like 70 people. Naughty dog has like 700 in california and cant get 1 game out this generation
Bluepoint had to be closed so they could burn more money on bungie and haven. Like how couldnt you have a project fir them. They could get your ps3 library of 1st party games brought forward
Pretty disappointing for it being hyped up. Really nothing from third party outside of Ill was there. And not really interested in their first party these days myself
Demon Souls and Astro bot were great, fell of Ragnarock and spiderman 2 dint feel like it hit for me. Other than that hasnt really been anything else of note this gen from sony. And they fumbled the relationship with Shift Up around Stellar Blade and other projects
From a business sense, completely agree. Need exclusves to draw and retain players to the platform. And outside of HellDivers, pc ports have not genrated anything close to making the potential downsides worth the venture outside of live service. Personally, don’t fully care just in the sense that the games wouldn’t be locked down to one platform.
Forget about cost of hardware. Base subscription is gonna price itself out. Theres a reason why free to play games that dont require ps plus/gamepass to play online are so popular
I played Gears Remastered on PS5 as first ever playing. Honestly i don’t see myself buying as the other games arent here. Don’t know whats taking them so long, its like when Veilguard released and they didnt re-release origins and 2
@PuppetMaster sony is very selective in what they want to censor and not censor. They censored the DMC V girls rear end back in the day but left the Last of Us 2 Abby doggy scene in as one example
@PuppetMaster alot has changed since last release. Yoshida managed its codevelopment before. Now its Herman and California running interference which has shown mostly this gen in their games
Billion pcs out there. Also sony stopped making smaller games that dont sell a ton, so why bother making pc ports that generate a few mil in profits.
Also sony needs to get their studiosin line, one game a gen from every studio is unacceptable

Re: Reaction: Travelling the World Made Me Realise What PlayStation Is About to Lose
Playstation will shrink itself along with gaming by no longer having a retail presence for new, younger gamers and their families
Re: The Outer Worlds Dev Obsidian Is Yet Another Xbox Team at Risk of Closure
I think obsidians games are overrated and they are not as bug financial successes as they are made out to be.
Still, they are the one studio that has been putting out games somewhat consistently which would make it a weird cut
