Re: Horizon Forbidden West Production Efforts Boosted as PC Patches Wind Down

Revengercm

@Floki but the guy is explaning that if horizon forbidden west would've have release in a month or two, that effort would've mattered much. Either way. It was a test. Now they know. Even with death stranding, it wasn't all that great but that game had to do it because it broke even as an exclusive only game, which aren't the numbers sony wants.

@nessisonett

HZD for pc was a waste of time. I expected 5 million since there are more pc players as they say (most of them don't have capable pcs so that narrative is pointless for sony). Those 700k people could've bought playstations and invested in ps plus and on other exclusives. Horizon was just a test in the water and trust me. They are not going to do that again with console seller games. PC guys didn't buy it. Plain and simple. That's one less game to make people jump and buy a playstation.

@RBMango but I haven't said the game will be worth it or not. You say it is not worth it . I just said you are wrong for assuming that and jumping to conclusions. I am not picking a side.

They have tried the indie way. It failed. They are going triple A now and that's not an option those 2 other indie devs have.

@RBMango I am not making an assumption. You are clearly blind by brands and names. Bought a google phone for $300 and it's as good (ram and it has more freedom and features the other removed) as a $1k samsung or iphone, but people buy those 2 because of brand blindness.

Monster Hunter Rise and Yakuza don't have the budget or graphics as good as Returnal has. You don't know if Returnal is a time sink. Nobody knows. Why people in this site think they have a sauron eye?

a demo is a GREAT idea actually.

I apologize for being anal. I am excited for the game because we need that alien game (guess mass effect feel) void to be filled.

@RBMango spidey was safe proof to sell. Not $60 worth proofed. That comes AFTER you play the game.

How the hell you gonna know a game is worth $60 pre release? That comes AFTER you play the game

Housemarque is a quality studio too lol. Their highest score game is higher than sucker punch and insomnaic highest scored game of this gen. Ever actually. You can judge if they are on the same level AFTER you play the game.

But avengers is proven as much as spiderman was pre release lol. Crystal dynamics last game was an 88. Higher than spiderman. But crystal dynamics name and the avengers brand didn't make the game's price worth it right? Because people knew AFTER they played the game that it was not worth it.

Dude. WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT SALES!!! ofc it won't sell as much because it's not an established ip, open world filled game. We are talking about if the game is worth the full price. You will know that, AFTER you play the game.

That hades is no competition for Returnal. Returnal will slaughter that game's sales. You know why it isn't on xbox or ps4? Cause it doesn't sell because nobody buys indies that look like mobile games (sorry). You can't compare Hades sales to Returnal. Returnal is a triple A game. Returnal can push the genre forward into mainstream. Is Diablo niche? The genre is niche because nobody tried to pushed it. Might sell so insanely good because it's something fresh. You never know. Well, you will. After you play the game.

Exactly. Nier Automata did it. Why can't Returnal? Guess we have to play the game.

Just because it has Kojima, it doesnt mean it is worth the $60. Sorry. Fanboyism blindness syndrome. The it is worth the $60 BEFORE playing the game syndrome.

@RBMango 1. Spider-man was unproven. New developer, new publisher. Unproven, until it was not. So because something has a name, it should be priced more and not the product itself? ok. Could've been a bad game and the spiderman name wouldn't have saved it (avengers says hello)

Returnal is set for march. No where near launch to start marketing.Roguelike hasn't been done at triple A level. How do you know it's niche if it hasn't been done before? People don't buy hades because it looks like a high res gameboy game. Why smaller indie open world games don't sell if it has the winning genre formula?

A game is worth it because it has one director on it and not because the product itself? We're not talking about suceeding, lol. We're talking about the value of it. You don't know if Returnal has any of those things. This is their FIRST attempt at a triple A game.

You repeat the same thing again.

2. They're doing the exact same thing as they would with gow or ratchet. Was ratchet on game awards? d. all stars? Only Returnal was there. why? Since game awards, which game has received more gameplay trailers? You can't put a price on it before it releases. That's what SONY thinks.

3. Like I said. The new ips I mentioned were unknown. Witcher was unknown until... well, witcher 3. It doesn't have the buzz but it CAN have it. How did these big name games and publishers got buzz? The same way Housemarque is trying to do it.

Yisus man. You're so blinded by brands, names and publishers. It's why people make bad pre orders. You can't hold it because it has that franchise name you love. The way you think, no unknown developer would reach the heights of Rockstar or Remedy because you would always put them lower by default.

No. It doesn't have competition. A bunch of gameboy looking indie games? They're call indies for a reason. What's on march? Kena? Another no big name game? Ain't that the same situation?

Just wait a bit more. They are still 2 months to promote it. A few short trailers is what every sony games get lol. Ghost had low viewership too and that was late in the gen.

4. You bring up the same point. See above. Concrete Genie would've have never been at the game awards. It wasn't. Yes. I hope they sell, but people like you aren't helping AT ALL. Telling your friends it ain't worth it before any of you played it.

@DiddyWahDiddy True. I'm pre-ordering games when reviews are out from now on.

I like to bet myself the game will be good and so far I landed all of them, but I pre-ordered c2077 and I'm so glad I got the refund before anything of this happened, but it could've been a bad pre-order for me. I even held back because there were no consoles raw footage or reviews. God I'm glad I trusted my instints.

@RBMango

1. How is it unproven if it hasn't come out? Weren't ghost, spider-man, death stranding and horizon unproven before they came out? It's sony. It won't have mtx.
2. How can I prove it to you, if nobody has tried to sell rogue like genre at triple A level? Those indie games don't have the nextgen graphics to grab people anyways.
3. There isn't any competition. People already bought their annual cod and sports game and bought spidey and demon souls. I've seen people say it's dry right now. It's PERFECT to release it now where the thunder ain't being stolen. Don't exclusives sell consoles?
4. Exactly. They trust them.
5. I agree
6. I added this to the last paragraph. There are other options, but they ain't triple A. Again, New ips don't start selling in their second games. Lots and lots of new ips sold well or more than well.

@funkyplasma I feel bad for demon souls remake. Should've been top 20 best sold games of the year but people just like games play for them. It's not because it's a remake, because re2 remake and ff7 remake did wonders (even if they are completely new compared to ds (demon souls, not dark souls or death stranding)

Re: Pre-Order Returnal on PS5 to Unlock These In-Game Costumes

@Th3solution Sony has to give reasons to buy the ps5. This is a long term thing. Since there aren't many next-gen options, people would choose more between the few games. Returnal and Kena are set up right. Before any of the bigger name games release, they would be the first priority in getting them.

By the time horizon comes out, at least 20m ps5 would be sold. Sony just has to grab 5m in 3 days and the game probably made its money back and funded the third game.

@Bad-MuthaAdebisi really? Cause Shawn Layden and Jim Ryan would say otherwise. Maybe games NOW won't jump that much, but it certainly did. David Jaffe said a few thousands was a hit for their initial twisted metal games. Cost of life has rised up and games require more employees now.

@Cyrus29 @Bad-MuthaAdebisi @Hobbesyall @RBMango @Agramonte @hypnotoad Has anyone here played the game and knows the game's budget to support their reasoning why the game is not $70? I see a lot of nagging but I don't see reasons why.

Cause it ain't made by rockstar or naughty dog? cause it doesn't have metal gear solid name on it? Please. explain. anyone.

@KidBoruto I just checked. Dragonball is Teen but kids love the show and young adults that like it now is because they liked it when they were kids. The rest are E rated. The 2 I mentioned are M and they aren't recent games. Hopefully, like I said, this is their fly me to moon moment.

Also. Just in case you mention it later. I didn't say I wouldn't play those games. I want to play temtem atm but In my mind I know it's a game for everyone, leaning towards kids (if you've seen the animated trailer)

Re: Sony Removed All the PS5 Target Dates from CES 2021 Trailer

Revengercm

@Floki MLB is every year, so is on for this year too. Little Big Planet not done by Media Molecule was a drop in quality and driveclub, well it failed and the servers shut down fairly quickly. So I go back 2 the same 2 games I mentioned, which one is a remaster, and the other it's the worst of the series.

FMS8 might happen, but I'm just basing on the things "confirmed" (gow will probably get delayed). Halo Infinite looked awful and still needs redemption and yet, I'm still calling it a big hitter although I think it won't be better than bungie's halos. The Medium looks meh from what I saw from ign's gameplay video and from that studio's previous game, it ain't looking too good. STALKER 2 might be good, but they just did an engine trailer. Idk if it will be ready and idk if it will be a big game (just like Returnal), but we'll see.

Imo. ps4 first year (nov 2013- nov 2014) was one of the worst year in terms of exclusive games. I think xbox series s/x wants to beat that negative record.

Since SONY is no longer coming out from a losing gen, they manage to bring the games that are expected to be in 2021, and it can beat sony's 2020. They have 6 triple A games expected to be released this year. They had 6 triple A games published in 2020, and a timed exclusive.

I think 2011 will remain their best year in terms of games tho. I think they got 9 or 10 out.
