That sounds like sensational nonsense sorry. Because it is/was a big story some troll has put it out there that's it's Sonys most expensive game ever .
Let's look at some quick facts, firewalk has a headcount of 179 people at it's peak, insomniac 450, santa Monica 250, ND 450, polyphony 300 etc etc
Also sony did not own or pay for development of this game until several years after development.
There's more but I can't be bothered cause it's likely sensationalism and it's more likely including the cost to BUY THE STUDIO
Right people clutching their pearls in the comments.
Go buy a outdated 3090 without the rest of the bits and see how much that is second hand .
You want 4k ray tracing and good fps. This is price .
Too rich for my blood, but for people who want 3080 ti like performance without wanting a pc rig and the price to go with .
Looking at £500 just for the rtx 3080 alone -and that's second hand .
4k ray tracing at hight frames is an expensive thing
Yep wouldn't expect this to sell more than a couple mill worldwide at best. And this is why Sony and Microsoft don't bother if it hasn't got a gun or a racing car.
People that don't play Nintendo just want . A refreshing can of mountain dew, Doritos, sports and violence
Still 59.99 on Amazon so either it's not really applicable to most retailers or it hasn't happened.
Either way buy one now then if you think you'll need it.
There are some low IQ people on the Internet though suggesting a sudden price increase is because of Concord. My favorite I've read today is they're launching PS5 pro to appease shareholders because of Concords failure. As if they just quickly put together a console a few weeks after Concord failed to profit. The Internet , Bastion of zero intelligence
This wasn't about gaming, I can't believe these quotes have been twisted about gaming. When it's obvious PlayStation has a treasure chest .
It was directed at TV and more precisely movies. As sonys biggest property is spiderman which isn't their own . He wants a greater range of original powerful IP at the media studios.
Along the likes of star wars, wizarding world, fast and furious, Jurassic park, MCU etc etc.
Not an easy task.
He's right, I have an Xbox and it is kinda dead. Microsoft are slowly changing tactic to just be the biggest games publisher. No one buys games on the console as they've trained people to use GP. So why would you bother releasing a new game on its tj y user base
It's funny though, why can Nintendo get away with it and other publishers can't. And please don't say there games are better, they're just more overrated
Don't remember this kinda energy for nioh
Don't recall assassin's creed being to historically accurate with it's ancient alien technology and mythical monsters.
But a black man in feudal Japan who I don't need to play as....to far Ubisoft to far
Yep Sony AND Nintendo proven right now not copying that model.
Gamespass isn't successful, nor is Xbox the console.
This is just gonna quicken the death.
But Xbox the brand will be fine when it's fully multiplatform in a couple years
Brilliant at remaking/ resurrecting old Sony IP. Think that could've been their niche. Sony have a rich old library The getaway, heavenly sword, Jak and Daxter, wipeout, krazy Ivan , arc the lad, colony wars, g police, wild arms, siren, resistance, extermination, etc etc just a treasure trove
The majority of pc only gamers have no interest in FF.
The majority of Xbox only owners have no interest in paying big money for FF. They wouldn't be Xbox only players if they had an affinity for that ip. Square are kidding themselves, they need to look at their insane budgets for these FF games that started with 13 and 13 versus (15) The series isn't that popular anymore to sustain God of war style budgets
True, although the second party exclusive output has been strong this year I don't recall Sony bothering to really market helldiver's, ronin, stellar blade or Pacific drive. That's a very strong exclusive line up yet I expect they'll go all in on concord
Ff15 was out on everything thing, and the tomb raider games , and avengers and they still weren't happy with sales, and they won't be again when the next final fantasy releases on everything and no one buys it on Xbox because they're waiting for gamespass release. SE just needs to release their games arent as popular today
As an Xbox owner I don't particularly like it purely because I feels like I wasted money owning 2 consoles. But it is what it is, I know not to buy an Xbox in future
It's not sudden, it was always there in the terms. Just people didn't read it and now it's a suprise. Takes a minute to make an account on pc or mobile.
What an inconvenience
The steam crowd are so frikin precious absolute tuna melts
Colin Moriarty mentioned something about this on one of his shows, how it's a really bad way to try and get player numbers. Because it assumes players are synching their trophy data (which is how the numbers are pulled). And a lot of people do not sync and the auto sync is so so
I like my series s. Gave me a cheap way to get at the Xbox library. But can see why it's caused Microsoft problems. They just aren't very good at this business, the 360 seems like a blip
Not really a scam, everyone knows how these things work since Netflix rocked up. It's a decent way to try many games over a period you likely would never buy And there's generally more than enough time to finish games on the service you really like. Ultimately tho you should just buy the games that you really want.

Re: PS5 Exclusives Final Fantasy 16, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Failed to Meet Expectations
Releasing it on PC and Xbox really not going to add anything. FF is PlayStation and Nintendo.
So I can see them porting them all to switch 2
But ultimately it's not the PS1/2 era anymore, these single player FF games will not be as big as they were
