Loved it and I love that finally has a release date.
This franchise is small and has a small but hardcore fanbase who have played the last one for a decade. I'm very excited to finally go back to Super-Earth.
(Have to say I found funny the game is on P3Remake day, P3 is way bigger and will have all the light but SEGA is alienating the ps fanbase and this a middle finger, I love it)
@MFTWrecks and it's completely ok if you don't like it but Hellviders has existed for almost 10 years. You can't be generic if you already have a history behind you.
I have seen games like bum simulator, altf4 and only up break the internet because they are dumb. The kind of game people buy because their fav streamer plays it, the kind of game people make speedruns of. This kind of games never come to console in their primer and this one will. I think is genius from them it was about time.
Best game of the direct for me. It sucks SEGA is treating their ps fans like idiots who are going to buy whatever they release even when SEGA is alienating them but if this has a physical release like 13 sentinels I will gladly buy a copy from the grey market.
Maybe is because I have the same Motorola since 2017 (still working perfectly let's go baby!!!) but spending 999 on a phone is something I'm never going to do, too poor for that 😂
@number1024 to be honest I don't know that much about Unreal because 2d has always been my area of interest and Unreal is kind of famous for being too convoluted for 2d, obviously is not bad at all just more difficult to use because of how massive the engine is but you are right about the pricing, the share and how big the engine is right now.
I think a lot of devs before this decided to use Unity instead of Unreal because of the amount of resources out there to learn Unity, the number is absurd in comparison with Unreal. So basically the community has been giving a lot of value to the engine that as you said hasn't evolved at Epic levels and now the company is spitting on the face of that community. That really really sucks.
This is bad in so many levels, devs will not only have to pay for demos, if people share their games is money, if people re install their games is money, if people pirate their games is money, if some mother f***kers don't like a game is exclusive they can buy the game install and uninstall and cost money. And not only that, Unity hasn't clarified if services are included that would really hurt in the indie department of PS+, Sea of Stars is made in Unity and is the best day one game in the short history of Extra.
I think this is a nasty trick from their ex EA ceo who called devs idiots if they weren't making current diablo like *****, to then backtrack and only establish revenue share like Unreal, trying to be the "good guys".
Personally I have always wanted to make an rpg since I started college and Unity was the tool that I was using but they just aren't a company to trust anymore, I will start to learn Godot this weekend.
@Northern_munkey this is actually sad because there are very good games made in unity but people don't know the engine because devs actually pay for the best licence to have the right to take the splash screen out of their games. But games like Sea of Stars, Tails of Iron, The Messenger and Hollow Knight were made in Unity, you aren't wrong tho a lot of games that don't pay to take the unity screen out of their games are kind of not great.
@Amusei this is only on pc and ps and they are ps development partners like stray, kena, sifu, etc. so I would say no. If sony really really wanted to censor something from this game that thing is out since the development days because they got budget from sony. Most likely the two ver. are exactly the same and let's be honest if there was any censorship that would be public knowledge by now. Those kind of news are pre release and are always "relevant" news.
@thefourfoldroot1 so you play the last of us on the switch? That was taken dawn right? 😂. And the answer to your question is no. Sony paid for part of the development of this so it's only on their console.
This comment section is funny. Before release they call the game the game of the generation, then the game releases and it happens to be overall good but not what the hype established and no one says anything about the game (here) and finally news about sales are out and now suddenly people appear again to talk about the game.
There is a lot of room for improvement but we can trust Larian. I don't really care how games look as long as they aren't a mess like AC so the fact BG3 isn't broken like DOS2 was at launch is enough for me.
The Messenger is an amazing game that didn't sell well and even then they made free DLC (hard as *****, very cool), that shows you love and commitment to their work. Now Sea of Stars is also a fantastic game.
These dudes deserve way more love than what they are getting right now.
@Cashews weird thing to say given there is nothing in the trailer that says "today's Nintendo"
But if you are implying VR is just "not good enough" companies keep making vr headsets and developers keep making games. That only happens when there is "meaningful" money for both parties.
Just when I thought they started doing good things with extra they do this, nah I love PS but ***** them I'm not going to pay 40 more for old Ubisoft games.
@UltimateOtaku91 i think the biggest problem with services right now and in the future is a lot of people are getting used to "not pay" for stuff and not all indie games can be as big as silksong there is going to be a lot of smaller games that in a future will have to choose between putting their game on a service for a fraction of the money they could have make in a healthy environment where people actually are happy paying for the things they play or just not getting any money at all because people will be too bussy with "free stuff".
Spider-man and Mario on the same day was ok, there is no correlation point between them from a sales perspective. But Kong? I guess I'm going to be the only person playing Spider-man on release date
@Sil_Am I think you can be right but I also think sometimes people overestimated a little pc sales. For example the Elden Ring case, there are companies who said 41% of the sales were on PS while 29% on pc. For a game that has sold more than 20 million, 2 million (10%) is a lot, most PS games on Steam didn't sell 2 million copies lol.
So I'm sure fromsoft has a large fanbase on pc but as large as the gaming community on pc is there is still a difference in games designed with console as their priority. Also elden ring was a mega success so it doesn't tell the whole picture of realistic sales numbers for other games.
In the case of Baldur's Gate 3, a game companies say has reached 5 million copies early access included, their sales on pc will be larger than on ps because BG is a big pc classic (and a lot of console user just play freaking call of duty lol)
@Rmg0731 i don't think it's "worrying" because that doesn't mean anything, MS just paid for Call of duty if that doesn't make gp grow nothing will, also MS already has what they want from sega, the idea of "hey we have japanese games too for FREE" but as @UltimateOtaku91 writes, for me it is insulting. Is insulting how they decided to say yes to only putting one logo in every trailer that comes from the official channels when their biggest playerbase is on ps and the games AREN'T exclusives.
Saw the tittle and the first idea in my mind was "Yeah Sammy boy wrote this he loves to write about xbox in the ps site" and I was right 😂😂.
I just find funny how some people said PS5 was "stopping the generation" for not being as "powerful" as Series X (I guess they didn't believe the same about Xbox One lol) and it's actually the series S the one is putting limits on developers.
Looks that can be a nice little game hopefully people understand this isn't Persona so it doesn't need to be exactly like Persona even when inspired by.
It shows you people at SE don't have a vision as a team. Before release Yoshi P said the sales of this game would be representative after a year because he knew the game wasn't for every fan, then it releases and some suit dude says the sales are good, then another suit dude says they aren't and is ps5 fault and now this. It starts to feel they don't know how to handle new stuff anymore if FF 14 or 7 isn't in the tittle.
Given this is just a pretty, butchered ver. of a game you can already play complete on playstation and sega wants to alienate their biggest fanbase only showing the xbox logo in main trailers I will take Granblue Fantasy: Relink thanks, this can wait for a sale or some.
I found funny how much they tried to sell you the main campaign when in reality people who play these games (I'm not one of them thank God lol) don't care, they just want to play online a couple months and then they don't touch it unless they need to level guns for Warzone.
@pharos_haven "Developer Sabotage Studio has announced that their upcoming turn-based RPG Sea of Stars will be priced at $34.99 USD on launch."
So that's it if you are from US that's the price (I'm from Mexico but US prices also apply here lol). And yes there is no page in the store to buy the game yet it looks like it will be open until the release day.
I would love more avatars with Mii vibes than this with 360 avatar vibes lol}. I like cute stuff but this is just too cute, almos korean cute (and that actually makes sense given the popularity of the game in Korea lol so yeah, the right business decision I guess).
@Texan_Survivor The only funny thing about your comment is you are assuming MS wants to make and lose money with another xbox when they have been pushing as hard as they can for years so gp is everywhere even in your fridge.
@sanderson72 extra costs, while digital is big in Japan the tradition of physical is still relevant, even xbox was able to move thousands of consoles for a couple of weeks thanks to the fact the console came with physical Diablo 4, Diablo 4 in Japan was only digital on xbox outside the bundle, there is no guarantee of that in the west
I'm sure it has nothing to do with the facts Forspoken is trash and FF16 is not for "all" FF fans (as they also said) LOL. It is because of the console that is selling the most.
There's a lot of talent in China but still, when they announce something it's more a pitch than something already in full force development so this is going to take years and years lol. Hopefully with time and Sony money the development of these games shifts to something more reliable.
