They probably heard, "ps5 slim Japanese version is cheap." Went to go buy it and thought, "this is slim??" Living space is at a premiun in japan. And having a system that big take up a large portion of that space probably isn't enticing.

Could be the second coming of the wii. Everyone will want one because of the hype and word of mouth, use it for 4 months, that's it. But it will have done its job by selling tons.

Yakuza has done it. Sports/racing games have done it, etc. Its more of the same, and that can be a good or bad thing.

They took that persona 5 style and just ran with it, from remasters/makes to a new release.

A majority of steam users tend to play multiplayer games. Hence why helldivers did well and others not so much.

@Balaam_ I agree. I do enjoy his videos and interpretations on the fromsoft games, but id be a bit chuffed buying this book only for fromsoft to come out with their own that contradicts some points in vaati's book. Like you said if fromsoft endorsed this book then it would be different.

I wonder what a futuristic assassin's creed would look like. A batman beyond like protagonist and setting. Sorry for the non-sequitar.

Depends. If they could do epics on mobile with existing licenses(not lazy ports), maybe charge $5-$10. Balatro sold 1M+ at $10. If they're gonna do the whole f2p thing with Sony ips, that might be a different story.

If there are casual people on the fence about a new console. And one comes out that can play pc, ps, xbox games cheaply and at a decent framerate and resolution, then yes it'll have an impact. If there are millions of ps4 holdovers and they buy the steam machine instead of a ps5, it'll have an impact. A lot of "ifs."

I don't know man. Free to play? So a lot of grinding for parts to upgrade stuff, or mtx, I presume. Looks like a monster hunter-like set in the horizon universe.

Considering the Sony inzone monitors are pricy, I'll bet this one will be too.

In all honesty, im really intrigued by what devolver digital might have. They are adamant about releasing a game alongside gta vi. They followed them to November. 🤣🤣

Don't put the environmental woes of the planet on my menial purchases. Maybe if these big corpos could be more environmentally friendly.

Are QA and testers no longer a thing?

This is how I feel:

Multiplayer games on pc do not need another service to play(ie ps+, gpu), huge plus. Multiplayer games on pc are plagued with cheaters/hackers, etc., huge con.

Multiplayer games on consoles tend to avoid the pitfalls of pc when it comes to cheaters/hackers, etc., huge plus. Multiplayer games come with an additional cost of $10-$30 a month to play the game you just spent $70+ on, huge con.

I'd be happy with how it WAS on console and charge me $60 a year for online play only. I don't care about your rental catalogs or your lame perks.

Kind of. Time is finite. So anything with a screen is competing with other screens. Hell, other activities compete with other choices.

"..wanting to be everywhere.." and being wanted everywhere are two different things. Looking at most of the mediocrity being produced not many care whether they miss the games or not.

The good thing about steam is the 2hr playtime refund window. See a game, buy it, see how it runs. If great keep it, if not refund it.

They're pulling this concert just as fast as Concord.

I don't see how you make a service out of gow. Was it pvp, pve ala destiny 2? Was it a genshin-like with mp and gow aesthetics? Extraction? Create your own character? Set before, during, after the Greek saga. Just too difficult to do properly.

Want to make a live service game? Killzone and resistance are just sitting right there.

Meh. If it wasn't for black Friday deals I don't think I would be enrolled.

The ps4 is still getting releases. If this is any indication, the ps5 will have releases far into the ps6 lifecycle. So no rush.

Head up! As of this comment Amazon has borderlands 4 for $56.

That's fine. If this gen is anything to go by, the ps5 will last long into the ps6 gen. And for everything else I can just pc it. Building one doesn't seem that hard.

I still think ms should've gave 70+ devs/studios, including internally, $1B each for multiple exclusives for multiple gens.

Its a comedy of errors. $70+B cost for actiblizz; $300M loss for CoD on xbox; and now the mass xbox renewal cancelations. This will be a loss of massive proportions. May even lead to a change of management, investment strategy into the xbox division.

Don't know this guy. But has he said things about both sides? Has he commented how terrible ms has been to consumers(rising prices, canceled games) and devs(canceled games, closed studios)?

It's like xbox's play anywhere initiative, only works when devs buy in, and if they don't it's a worthless perk.

Paystation. For the payers.

It felt like kratos went to more places and killed more mythical creatures and gods in the Greek pantheon than the norse one. Hope we get more of the former in Egypt.

So long as they find a way to even the teams out. Equal parts controllers/kb&m on each team.

This is for the 825gb model? Or 1tb?

Huh, REAL devs find a way not to release an unoptimized game.

Is the live action starting with the Greek trilogy or just the Norse ones? Just seems like the Greek ones have more diverse areas to explore, gods and titans to kill, etc. The norse ones seem a bit sparse. Walking through the "realms" fighting the same troll and draugr and elves. Can't wait to be proven wrong.

Animes did wonders for cyberpunk and dmc sales. Maybe if enough interest or views it'll entice them to make another or remake chaos theory...with mercs vs spies.

If i remember correctly, the og ps5 shipped with 825GBs, but after os/etc., there was about 670GBs available. They got rid of the "8k" logo and went back to the smaller ssd. Cool.

Considering it cost anywhere from $15-$30M to dev, 4.4M copies at $50(more with the special editions) brought them $154M+(after the digital taxes to storefronts). That is a massive success by many measurements.

SEGA!!

Oh man, that was some nostalgia right there.

I played the first one because I was excited to see what they did to it. New look? New gameplay, etc.? After playing it, 😬, im in no rush for rebirth and the third one.

Who asked for this? And why would someone answer the call? All that time and money could've been spent on a new ip or a better game series to remaster.

@Dalamar what are you on about?! We got "particle effects" this gen. If that's not leaps and bounds, I don't know what is.

/s

Game pass and ps+ are optional services for both users and devs. No one is forcing(except ms studios😆) any party to partake. Just saiyan.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 way more ego than true talent. Sitting on your laurels, simply trying to use name recognition:

"Former [insert game] dev"

"creator of [insert game]", etc.

Release date trailer with gameplay or stuff it.

"..we have final fantasy at home."

That's the vibes I'm getting from this particular release.

600k units is, depending on edition, $16-$24M(adjusted for ms' 30%) for a game they already had. If other Playstation ips can do similar numbers then i don't see why Sony wouldn't. Even 200k units is enticing numbers.

Spiderman, days gone remastered, or returnal will be next. They'll test the waters with an old ip. It'll bring in $40M after fees and that will open the floodgates. Or maybe I'll find my marbles.

I bought my legacy of thieves ps4(500gb) for $250+tax, back in 2017. This gen, console prices have just gone up, games have been fewer. The ps5 pro is $700, for now. If the next console gen is $800-$1000, with games being fewer because of dev time AND more expensive to make/sold for, that might be a problem for the industry and consumers.

Gawtdamn! Too many good games!!😭 #firstworldproblems

I believe graphics have reached a plateau last gen. This gen it's "particle effects." Meh. Tlou2, rdr2 awesome. Keep games looking equal to those but polish up the gameplay and optimizations. I mean ffxvi, stellar blade, alan wake 2 do not look that much better than rdr2.

They did the turtles. They're doing xmen. Do the Simpsons game next.

I wanted a dark souls anime/movie. But this is just as great.😍
