@Brundleflies21 probably still in that phase of curiousity. PS games had the same thing on steam at first but now sales have cratered there in comparison to how they forst sold. This being being one of the 3 xbox pillars gonna make people curious
So i get to play my PS games and third party games as well as the xbox ones on PS. Oh no what a tragedy. I wonder when the day will come when paid media shills to this degree will end. It will never end but hopefully one day will lessen
Definitely Astro bot was great, easily recouped money and will add more over time. It also be very important if games like these can help attract new/young gamers into gaming overall as well as pull them away from the forever live service games
@ChrisDeku yeah i feel the xbox startegy over time has simply frustrated players as well with how long and still waiting for most of these games.
Short marketing burst and associating games with the platforms seems the best. Doesnt hurt to help prop up 3rd party games. They still see 30% of the sales regardless and makes extracting games that much easier from their emerging markets sectors
@themightyant yeah its insane and right there with you in not keeping up lol. Nintendo live or die on their content but now pn ps5/xbox its again about scope of impact given theres less air for games to breathe these days. Its why even with all its acquisitions and supposed lineup, xbox consoles partially fant get traction. established Libraries, impactful timed/permanent console exclusives, and despite what media says the xbox 1st games havent really been more than mediocre to draw people times from the glut of 3rd party games elsewhere
@Oram77 yeah i dont really seen a content issue. It sucks we are lacking games from playstation themselves but just looking at stuff from last night, theres so much 3rd content coming and all the xbox ports just makes it even bigger. 1st party makes defining games but are less needed these days from a content filling point
@MrMagic its kinda that elitist attitude of journalist who were given 3 thousand dollar rigs by these companies for free that think everyone should also be on it and is possible for even children
@8bitOG im not saying it shouldn’t be on PC on anything. I’m just annoyed but this glazing on pc gaming and constant media crapping on console gaming. Ff16 got the same thing for 3.5 mil in a month on Ps5. Came to Pc and suddenly all was great, but was later report by matt pisc… i think that it sold like 260k in 3 months at high discount pricing. Using the it was the top seller this week with nothing of note released.
Also thanks, anyone who hasnt yet should watch Vikings, great show
I dont understand the media and how obviously biased it is towards xbox and pc. It likely sold like 200-300k copies and at $40-$50 too. After steams cut they made like 10 mil. Conpare that to the the atleast 170 mil they made at launch on Playstation, im not sure why its suddebly a success now. I think more people pirated it on pc then bought
Well either they moved to another team and help on those products or were gonna get laid off anyway. Bioware for the 3rd time massively disappointed and unhonestly its a shocker they are not closed yet. No excitement around their products
Listen just give the people what they want from Dragon Age. Just simple ports upgrading graphics and framerate for Origins and 2 to ps4/5. Could care less on this one one
I still say that as of today, there are too many people making too many games for too little an audience. The cost and time of these games further hurting chances, there needs to be some reductions in the space to balance. Theres the few games thst grestly inflate the overall spaces health like the fortnites, now rivals that are raking it in while on the flipside u have the concords, hellblades and such that go out and die
@Oram77 yeah but Bend seems committed to not making a game at all. Maybe they should just make it instead of a live service no one wanted and theyll likely make something else that no one wants in 2031
All we here about is the cost of consoles making consoles less and less appealing or possible for people to get into gaming. How would content breaking into the hundreds work industry wide by the same logic

Re: Suicide Squad Bombed So Bad, It Basically Took Wonder Woman and Monolith Down with It
@Contimaloris especially since monolith did nothing wrong yet and game was atleast in progress. Will Rocksteady take 10 years fpt the next product
Re: Suicide Squad Bombed So Bad, It Basically Took Wonder Woman and Monolith Down with It
Sony was only lucky they have tje platform and 30% rips to support them, otherwise likely would have seen way more cuts and studio closures
