The originals being remastered are perfect. Literally dont need to be touched. Yes we need alot of games ported forward but not everything needs a quote unquote remake or requires it.
If they make consoles the price of pcs then there would be no point of consoles. Consoles are simpler, more affordable and plug and play pieces of tech for more mass market
Just got a pc this year, if they are going this route might as well just start moving purchases to pc and cancelling subscription as multiplayer falls further out of wheelhouse
Alot of excuses but can we finally just admit modern devs arent anywhere close to the ones 10-20 years ago. It seems like modern devs just can’t make anything new more at all.
Edit: western devs
Why hasnt Nixes gotten ports of their PS3 titles on PS4/5, and heck put them on PC then for damn proftis. Their existence is for porting yet nothing ever for the flagship product
As soon as helldivers was announced it started the flooding for putting it on gamepass. Difference in porting to Pc/Ps5 is that people will buy the game not just be on a cheaper subscription they already have.
@SeaDaVie well i mean naughty dog has like 1000+ people working there. This studio was formed as a small team of like 40-50 people or something so they would burn less cash over time to make a game.
Not super hot on this one, lots of other stuff will be out and im finally starting to look at my backlog and just say maybe tackle some of them first stupid. Might just wait for a sale on this one.
Bigger games might have plans for remasters hut can they get some better and more interesting retro titles. Alot of these are just bad games that people dont want. Ask Square for something like the Bouncer. No way they are gonna use that again
Assuming this is how they will look at live service games. Just put on everything possible? But not on gamepass and late. Will this sell like 40,000 copies or something
Wasnt one of them from a 2nd party publishing deal with xbox or am i mistaking with another. Seems like xbox is cutting alot of those publishing deals with the restructure
Weren’t people touting how much money candy crush and mobile was printing for Microsoft? Not just gamepass effect, but xbox’s games have been mediocre at best and generally agenda driven. Like more and more of western games, its not a shocker less people are buying them. For xbox more people care about their 360 and OG games being ported than their new and upcoming lineup
I’d love if this meant playstation was leaning more towards games and products from japan and eastern devs. Thats where most of the desired games are coming from
@SeaDaVie machine games have made well selling games in the past. Compulsion and ninja theory both make games that maybe top a million over time. And their games now taking 7-8 years and cost going up, while cutting on gamepass for 6/10 games make them a prime candidate
@Reeneman it certainly didn’t help with expectations with xbox and their social parrots claiming this was the best thing since sliced bread. They were calling it the last of us for xbox and the studio was their naughty dog
Fell off the first gameplay. They do well from a graphic standpoint but if the game is an absolute bore and chore, it doesn’t really mean much. Most reviews have said it got much worse on the gameplay department with most of the 5 hours being cutscenes or just walking straight
@OldGamer999 i think thats more Nintendo just trying to force people to digital ecosystem then them being generous. They already made their games $80 when their budgets and profits dont demand it
The media will still spin the idea that $1 revenue minus platform split is somehow greater than >$210 million in revenue in a week on playstation.
Did exclusivity hurt the game on xbox. Maybe to a degree, but you would expect it to atleast sell hundreds of thousands for something “so sought after on xbox”. Even at $50 and includes DLC, the base also will wait for it to go to gamepass
Wasted all the time on live service and have to restart. Gonna be alot of unneeded people for a bit. I’ll be interested to see what they come up with. With how they treated Days Gone and the people who won that battle, i don’t believe the game will be very appealing from a character and story standpoint
I’ll just wait for deep sales on games like any that go into gamepass day 1. Theres no reason to support them day 1 and at higher prices if they turn around and offer for a fraction elsewhere
Great more people can play it. Maybe now the hate and slander from media will stop. Already annoyed with the usual people demanding it be in gamepass when its only $50 including dlc.
Ps5 launched during the pandemic with supply constraints and start of harder economic times. Also pretty sure the switch 2 has been ready and been stacking storage for quite a long time. With how much they had warehoused pretty easy to burst out
