@Weez yes but steam concurrent numbers and millions in how many days also have massive impact on global sale.

I bet most of these 4 millions are bought by Chinese players on Steam. As more Chinese AAA coming out, these numbers will go down. AAA games are still relatively new for China, Black Myth reaping loads being the first one.

Game development cost is already out of control. Using performance capture of a well-known actor would even cost more. 44 million is not a small amount, I wonder why couldn't they try crowdfunding as it is so close.

@CielloArc Why Sony doesn't allow Capcom to do discount sales? Their tiles are on sale every other week on PS Store.

Is the story very bad? Seems like similar Black myth with basic story. Is it very challenging?

Funny when some Xbox fans childishly project how Gamepass make profit. How many millions of users generate how much revenue each month, ignoring lots of people back then use 1$ switch and game production can be very expensive, especially with multiple studios. No mater what you say, games price are relatively unchanged over the last 3 decades, while the production cost and developer salary has soared, especially in the West. I think Western developers need to cut down their spending.

Rough one. If without the news of cancellation, the vast majority would make that meme and laugh it off.

If it has great fight scenes, that’s enough for me. I have enjoyed both MK1 and 2. They also have basic plot lines, but they are fun.

Yujiro Hanma is also a lousy father. So a competition to decide who is the lousiest?

Wouldn’t sell much on PS either. It is a franchise of a bygone era.

Trolls who never play the game make that a big issue. Not a distractor for me. Even make collecting stuff easier as replaying that for trophy is annoying.

I am all for Outbreak remake. Also I am bummed by TLOU multiplayer. Maybe Capcom should be MMO or multiplayer in RE verse.

People instantly blame Sony on the back of disc debacle. But I can see some dishonesty from Kojima, given he said the decision came out os nowhere on Zoom, while in fact they have been discussing for ages. Kojima games are always expensive and take time; no surprise Sony will have cold feet without IP exclusivity. Xbox took the hit for PR win on the background of continued massive closure and layoff, plus they still have a lot of Microsoft cash despite their recent troubles.

Would that stop people buying these useless skins as others won't able to see their skin?

The original 6 RE films are entertaining and personally I love them. They make good use of RE characters and creatures. All the animated films are fantastic too. Only Welcome to Raccoon and Netflix RE series are bad. A right decision not to revisit the game characters. This film will make money and hope for a sequel.

It is not because there are fewer games to show. It is mainly because there are so many shows over the year, mostly online and thus every gamer already knows almost all games.

Given about 80% buy mostly digital, I doubt most of these will be upset with no physical.

Dragon ball Xenoverse 3?

Life is already filled with a lot of stuff, issues and difficult decision. I would not lose sleep over these petty stuff. I will keep enjoying games, digital or physical, although I have been mainly digital for a long time. Easy to move around, can share with family.

Looks dope. Yellow one looks better.

Get over it. Just vocal minority. The rest just don't care.

Get some life. I doubt those who are angry are thinking about this all the time. Just a stunt to get more clicks.

This looks great. Original series was entertaining despite media criticism. Welcome to Raccoon was rubbish though.

Come out to address what? Just get over it.

They wouldn't care. All the remaining stocks will be sold out with GTA 6.

YouTube ban is for streaming only?

I also definitely recommend this. Paid full price and totally worth it. Fantastic story and soundtrack + great combat customization.

Haven't played Stellar blade. But I see this issue differently. The AI train is not going to stop. The worst point is yes, AI basically stole human effort and then mix and match. But so far copyright law cant stop that.
Game development cost has significantly gone up, yet companies cant increase the price a lot. So they will use AI whenever they can to save money and when they got caught, they will say placeholder (Only idiots believe they use AI as placeholder- like crimson desert, now short up will use the same excuse- that's my main issue- not being sincere). Thing is AI will replace a lot of people in all industries.

weird, reading it doesn't sound like a '5' game. Dull spaceship shouldn't matter that much.

A loud vocal group of gamers as usual. When they like the games, they would support them despite obvious bugs and flaws like Crimson desert or black myth. Oh why not 10, blah blah. But when they don't like the games, they would trash them in every post, although they didn't even buy the games. Unfortunately, they are the one who have the most time, keep on spamming on every post, comparing score of games from different genre and different reviewers. Toxic people I would say. Gaming related social media further flame it, by reposting those stupid comments, as more engagement means more clicks and more money for them.

This is right approach. No matter how people talked trash on original Alice's RE film franchise, I think it is still better than reboot welcome to film as it felt cheesy (especially Leon). It is never easy to make film based on beloved games (reboot film tried to cram everything and failed).
Oh by the way, RE animated films are the best.

He probably meant Phil Spencer. He took the title of gamer and talked all the PR stuff and then did the opposite stuff.

Mobile players kill this franchise. Yes Konami earning loads from them, but in the process these players destroyed what was once a great game. I bought it almost every year but it seems in app purchase money is a lot more than this

I love Heavy Rain and Detroit, bought the latter at launch. Such an unforgettable experience. Quantic Dream are always slow, probably one of the reasons Sony let them go. That plus their games are difficult to make sequels.

I don't think so. New Xbox is just a PC and it would be priced higher than consoles, even ignoring high RAM and SSD price. If 1$ gamepass deal didn't make a dent, then I don't think new console will change the fortune.

@cainhurst94 Yes Switch 2 quota is quite low. But I don't know this only accounts physical sale as PC have over 30% share. I thought there is no physical discs on PC anymore??

I saw the sale was 6% only on Xbox, just 2 % above the switch 2, which is a very low number.

I made a right decision to trade in my original PA5 to get pro this Black Friday. I only have to pay about 100 £ extra.

Yotei’s Legend mode will be dope.

Fantastic game. I bought it at launch. Conner, Kara and Detective performance were excellent. Shame, this kind of games are rare these days. I think quantic dream was taken by Sony as they took so long tho release a game. They need a DLC or sequel once you spend so much time with one game. Detroit has a proper closure but could do another story in that universe.

I would rather like the proper remake of FF 8 and 10.

Who would have thought buying Activision backfired and lead to opposite outcome?

I find it funny to get offended by 60 hours 'so called' crunch, which is less than regular hours in Asia. 6 days working week is normal there too.
Even if you called crunch, it is not like, they work for free. They are paid for overtime fee. The word crunch in gaming industry is wrongly associated with slavery in the west.

Where is skate story in the list?

Gran Blue is great. D1 Skate story is fantastic too.

Bought PS 5 pro from retailer and it comes with this updated one. By the way, I still have the original v1 Dualsense which came with digital edition. It works still fine with no drift.

@BrownOwl I completely agree with this. Some try to sound like monitoring/ spying or censorship in Saudi, China etc are the same as in Western countries. Just yesterday, I saw a few comments. Not sure they are serious or not. You never know until you live there. They are on whole different level.

In terms of games, not much different. In terms of movies, it is a loss for audience, given Netflix sub price and HBO max is also quite decent.

I mean GTA 6 is well known, even if you don't search for it, big AAA games news like GTA 6 are well advertised and also lots of posts on social media.
