@The_Wailing_Doom it's wild but that doesn't mean that they aren't taking anything from it. CEO, Kombo breaker, Kumite, and of course the Esports World Cup just to name a few are using ps5 and inzone because Sony can give them good prices or being partner of their events. Also if Capcom was already one of their biggest partners owning the second house of SF just made the relationship stronger, you can say the same about Warner and Bandai.
@Jamie1989 "So what happened? " a big update in a 15+ million playerbase vs no updates in a 6 million playerbase, that happened LOL.
Actually 200k concurrent for a game that had 2 million and 45k for a game that had 450k pretty much describes both games in the same situation. We already know Palworld was half the price than Helldivers and sold a lot more so for a comparison of the playerbase current state actual numbers don't matter, proportions do.
Imagine that in order to get views you have to write articles about a "dead game" ... just imagine lol.
As someone who has been playing Helldivers since 2015 I can say this is irrelevant because the magic about Helldivers is as long as the servers are up you only need 3 people more to enjoy the game, not 1 million.
The game already made 12 times the money Sony was expecting, the servers will be up for a gooood time so now given the number goes up when there are updates they just need to be smart and organize the big content in seasons. Will the numbers go up to half million concurrent? No, but more people will buy the game with time, it's still top 50 in steam and eventually will be on ps plus extra.
A gaming company that was expecting to release 12 or more services a couple of years ago doesn't sound like the kind of company that expects every game to last forever. And for Arrowhead, well they want to be the next blizzard on their own right? So I'm sure they have a plan in mind to add something that captures the masses attention again because encouraging pc players toxicity isn't going to make more people play the game that's a fact lol.
BTW for your bad review to be part of the review bombing you need to have the game in your library so I wouldn't worry too much about the idea of millions and millions returning the game when the log in was implemented.
@TruestoryYep days gone from the beginning got the "next big thing" treatment from sony, all the games in that tier (god of war, spiderman, the last of us, uncharted, horizon, ghost of tsushima) has sold more than what Days Gone sold without the help of pc. Days Gone was never intended to be in the sales category of Ratchet and Clank, Returnal, remakes and ports, etc. It's all about budget, expectations and sales at full price, not about the opinion of anyone, not the media, not the people who bought the game when it was $10. My comment about the ex director is because the guy is annoying AF, he talks every chance he has even when doesn't work for Sony anymore and he should be talking about his new games.
Now, if you really think "very few Sony games are as amazing as you make you out. Most are decent cinematic story experiences but that's it" then we are wasting our time here because my comment comes from someone who can see beyond the "OMG that's a movie not a game" agenda. If I wasn't able to see that I wouldn't be here LOL.
@Rmg0731 I don't know man, probability is based in facts and the facts are the 2 PS services (GT7 and Helldivers) of the PS all in services age were huge successes so even if Concord fails (and we still don't know if it will, it could be the same Helldivers situation where 1 million is more than enough because these games have a price tag) the probability of the Bend game being a success is higher than it failing so I wouldn't be worried of it shutting down. Now add that they "sold 9 million copies of one game" and the chances for it to shut down are even lower lol.
It's hilarious how people are using sales of a 5 year old game that has been on sale since the year it was released to justify that it was "good" when the game was one of the worst PS games when it came out (yes ps games are THAT good) and the only one who was talking sales was the ex director who was pissed off because the general opinion was that the game sucked.
The poor sales of Days Gone first year was basically the reason Sony strategy of pc releases changed to release games sooner.
So ... we don't remember anymore that the contract with MS for the publishing of this and two games more didn't have an expiration date and MS didn't pay for the sequel because the first one made no money (xbox and pc combined)?
This answer was a social media answer, they have almost a decade working in 3 projects at the same time.
We don't even know if we are going to exist next year and analyst already talking about this, same analyst who said gp would have 100 million subs in 10 years and that sh*t is actually killing xbox instead of growing. Meh.
The biggest takeaway from this is that if in his mind the best option was to admit conversations but nor consummation he should have said something like "she was 17, almost 18 when i met her" before saying he isn't a predator but he didn't so we are talking about a 35 years old guy having inappropriate conversation with a 16 yo or younger and that is freaking disgusting.
So you are telling me the same company that put "Only on PlayStation" in the Persona 5 boxes without an exclusivity deal and only taking advantage of the situation now is silent about an exclusivity deal with one of the most awaited games of the 2020s? Pfff ... please, MS thinks everyone is a gp user to believe their bullsh*t or what?
When everyone was losing their sh*t because MS had atlus games in their showcase I (and many others I'm sure) was only thinking about this game and how it looked more interesting than the atlus games lol.
@Fishmasterflex96 It dependes, looks? Sure. Gameplay? Maybe it won't be as simple. Concord looks generic but behind it there's a lot of veterans who know what the are doing. Actually gameplay is the only hope that game has to save itself from failure.
@get2sammyb Actually Ronin is the perfect example, people preach that they are up for a change in how games are made in order to "save the industry" but the moment they see something that doesn't look like the "standard" the altruism's gone and they trash the game. People don't want to acknowledge they are the reason why the industry is the way it is (and why sony for example is the way it is) and there is no simple going back, just forced by other portion of people buying other kind of experiences (less expensive in both time and money) like AstroBot opening the business for new markets.
Oh man that game was terrible, I remember watching the news about that game being a ps4 console exclusive and I was kind of hyped because it looked like a platformer like Jak so I watched the movie and I remember clearly "This movie s*cks ..." and the game came out like two years later and it also s*cked.
Anyway, PC demo huh? Yeah this game for me was always a pc game, I didn't even know this was going to be ported to consoles. If they are intelligent they could use the xbox delay to sell this to those who like console exclusives like how Larian did the marketing of BG3 using Starfield but the fact that they are showing only a pc demo ... Cyberpunk but with monkeys.
"This is why we can't have nice things"
Nope, we don't have nice things because people don't buy them.
-People wanted the last guardian. It didn't sell
-People wanted remasters, ports, remakes. They didn't bought Gravity Rush ps4, Medievil, Patapon (MOTHER ******S), etc.
-People want more smallers games, platformers, for PS to be more like Nintendo and you can read all over internet people trashing AstroBot and Horizon because they want GoT2.
This also applies to pc players, people wanted freaking Returnal on pc and it sold like 100k copies lol.
This isn't Sony first rodeo but now there is a difference here, Elden Ring was so hype that even the most basic streamers that only play fortnite and GTA rl talked about it just to be in the hype train and the youtube algorithm. That was one and a half year ago. Sony made a bet and it worked, the game is more valuable now than 2 years ago but I wouldn't expect anything until the ps6, xbox wants to release their console earlier? Make your console the console where the game that people are begging for is. PC players can wait? Nice, as they should. Is that going to sell a lot of consoles? Probably not but the reputation would be high from the beginning and that matters in the stock market.
A couple of years ago ps haters used to be around and one of their favorite activities was to enter to every discord xbox/ps news to say how discord "fleeced" sony. Now if you don't remember MS paid Discord to implement on xbox and after some time working together MS tried to buy Discord but Discord refused, couple of weeks after Sony invested in Discord and Discord started to work on a PS implementation in pandemic years completing first the xbox implementation, that's why they were "fleeced".
Wherever those haters are right now they can now rest in peace knowing the implementation is almost over lol.
The most interesting part is that they say they had conversations for this since the development of the LEGO set, the set released in 2022, let's say talks started in 2020-21, 4 years to make a game that looks that good is a great development cycle. AstroBot was also in development since the ps5 release, another 4 year project, I hope the switch bros buy this game so Sony invests in more smaller projects.
@Mikey856 sales numbers man. When you are working with a franchise is in the best interest of the owner to give you info so you know what makes money and what isn't. It's well know LEGO games sell best on the Switch so Switch is a must, you are already making pc games so pc makes sense and your console is also a must LOL so ps5 is in. Then you have xbox, a console that many studios are skipping on purpose to see if MS offers them a gp deal so they don't lose money porting the game and you also have the ps4 that most of its users are playing online games. Skywalker sold 5 millions (it's star wars after all), if xbox and ps4 had real numbers in the LEGO databases to push for those 5 millions the game would be there but if the data shows whatever number isn't significant enough then you skip them, xbox because is your competition and ps4 because you don't want to release more ps4 games.
@The_Wailing_Doom Sackboy is fun but by the time they made that game Sumo Group was already a thing and 1 billion for it was too much. They paid for insomniac 1/4 of that.
We are a little closer to a timeline where the fantastic Episode 3 game releases on ps4/5 and it has trophies. Quiet good decisions are what keeps the fire going.
All the love to van Dien but Extermination isn't as charming as the movies (or as HellDivers). The best feature of the game is that you can actually play with big squads but if people complained because they had to play with randoms in teams of 4 can't imagine when they are 10 or more lol.
Actually interested if the supposed 100k xbox players wanting HD2 on xbox will buy this just out of spite lol.
Tbh the only thing i'm "tire of" is not getting a full rpg, the rpg elements in their games are great, they have the talent, it's time to make one lol.
Already pre ordered my physical Astro Bot copy and I'm going to preorder LEGO Horizon too. I think is funny how people trash Adventures but also complain about it being on the Switch. If people were able to see beyond f*cking COD and GTA and buy other kind of games Sony wouldn't need the Nintendo Switch to reach the number of copies LEGO expects.
I think Astro Bot has A LOT to win here. It didn't need a crazy budget to use a franchise, it didn't need a crazy development time (4 years) and sony doesn't have any crazy expectations behind it (Returnal sold 500k and it was enough to buy the studio and give them new offices, LEGO Skywalker sold 5 million and obviously LEGO expects similar numbers with Horizon). I believe that if Astro Bot can put Ratchet and Clank type of numbers (between 1 and 2 million) we will see a lot more Asobi in the future. And they may have a chance, Astro Bot was #1 in vg sales on Amazon in many countries.
Also I hope the Switch bros actually buy Adventures, if that works we could have LEGO sets, I'm not a LEGO fan but I have a couple big Star Wars sets and I would love a Thunderjaw set.
It was always strange for me that they decided to put only their Indian studios to make this game, people from India are super talented when it comes to software but Prince of Persia was the face of the company before Assassins, it deserved heavy and experienced development power from the beginning.
He can call names all he wants that won't make better the business, if COD on gamepass doesn't add a substancial number of users to gp that strategy and him are done. Tic tac Spencer LOL.
The movement and flow of the combos is very Ninja Gaiden so I'm SOLD. It's a chinese developer so the development could last forever buy the fact they are in a tour means they are close, not this year obviously.
The point of exclusivity is to add value to your console and also increase competition, the thing is Nintendo stopped being direct competition to Sony since the wii. The same way people talk about AstroBot saying "It looks great BUT NOT something I would pay for" most Switch users would say the same about games like Returnal or GOW so this move isn't taking any value from your console and has the potential to actually add value.
Between a situation where a pc only user plays this and buys a ps5 and a switch only user doing the same I would bet on the second one. That's why the game won't be on xbox, because xbox IS their competition.
I like the "We're not trying to build a low cost PC" line because it's true, buying a console is more than not having enough money for a pc. People who buy a console should do it because it means something, if that something is being able to play certain games or having the "cool" piece of metal it doesn't matter, any console should be more than a box that runs games.
And I absolutely LOVE the line about that one video with the pc for $500 "better" than a ps5 because is something I thought at the exact moment they specify the parts.
"They had to get a used motherboard, that was the only way that they could build a PlayStation 5 equivalent for a PlayStation 5 price. And if you're using used parts… well you can get a used PlayStation 5 for eBay for $300-something"
LOL, techbros think they are very smart and some of them are actually smart but most of their content targets people they know they can fool.
@JackiePriest larian kind of did, series s doesn't have local co op, before that it was a politic of publishing on xbox that both versions had to be equal but they had to fold because BG3 was too big of a game.
@Toot1st i'm sure they will cry of frustration when Marathon is out and makes them money on xbox, the same way MLB microtransactions do every year LOL.
The ultra violence of TLOU2 should be fun to watch. We live in a world were we have actually good vg adaptations and the most important questions of this new age are who is going to be Kratos? and is Tom Holland going to be Link or not? LOL
@twitchtvpat probably because Sony didn't offer them money or square was asking too much for a 6 year old game (they already are, 60 for this game is crazy).
@HonestHick it's funny that you say that because A LOT of people with a pc has a ps5 and every time a new ps5 exclusive comes out there is more people buying a ps5. So no, obviously the strat of they are going to buy a ps5 for sure is not going to work but the fact that they have this ready and it isn't out yet means they weren't actually serious when they said that, they only said that to not say "Yeah well, Sony economy depends on hardware and has been depending on ps hardware since 2013 when we almost go bankrupt so if posible we want to keep selling consoles". They already know games cost too much (even when they aren't losing money, they just aren't making billions back) but what are they going to do? Cancel the games they already have started to start cheaper games from 0? That's just not going to happen ... a lot of time will pass before watching any kind of change there.
Also i think is cool pc players can wait, having the confidence to be alive in two years to play a game or to be alive 8 more years to play any game day one in this world that can end any day. That must be nice. I don't have that confidence so buying the cheap, weak and limited box to play the games I actually want to play without waiting doesn't sound like a terrible idea LOL.
I know a lot more about software production than hardware but is way too soon. Portal is basically the proof people will buy it and Lenovo making disposable handhelds means Sony has the economy to do so, but it's WAY too early.
@UltimateOtaku91 I don't think Mana will, kind of feels SE thinks it is going to sell a lot but who knows. I would add a trailer of something 14 related, making sure you remember is on xbox now, you have to pay 2 subscriptions but it's there lol.
@LifeGirl capcom is doing great, square enix isn't lol. The only reason they aren't firing people in Japan is because it's ilegal to do it suddenly but they sure are firing people in other countries and making Forspoken 2 for the Nintendo Switch 2 won't help their situation.

It was always strange for me that they decided to put only their Indian studios to make this game, people from India are super talented when it comes to software but Prince of Persia was the face of the company before Assassins, it deserved heavy and experienced development power from the beginning.
Re: Xbox Really Wasn't Happy with PlayStation's Call of Duty Marketing Deal
He can call names all he wants that won't make better the business, if COD on gamepass doesn't add a substancial number of users to gp that strategy and him are done. Tic tac Spencer LOL.

World's favorite liar.
Re: PS5 Fans Beg Sony for a More Fulfilling Livestream in the Aftermath of Xbox Show
Nice xbox show but let's be hones if that conference was a PS conference A LOT of people would be saying:
Again, it was a good show, I liked a lot of games but people act like they would be fine with it when they would be complaining either way.
Re: PS5 Action RPG Phantom Blade Zero Actually Looks Insane in Raw Gameplay Footage
The movement and flow of the combos is very Ninja Gaiden so I'm SOLD. It's a chinese developer so the development could last forever buy the fact they are in a tour means they are close, not this year obviously.
Re: Some PlayStation Fans Are Losing Their Minds Over LEGO Horizon Being on Switch
The point of exclusivity is to add value to your console and also increase competition, the thing is Nintendo stopped being direct competition to Sony since the wii. The same way people talk about AstroBot saying "It looks great BUT NOT something I would pay for" most Switch users would say the same about games like Returnal or GOW so this move isn't taking any value from your console and has the potential to actually add value.
Between a situation where a pc only user plays this and buys a ps5 and a switch only user doing the same I would bet on the second one. That's why the game won't be on xbox, because xbox IS their competition.
Re: PS5 Hardware Architect Says It May Take Less Time to Build a Console Than a Game Now
I like the "We're not trying to build a low cost PC" line because it's true, buying a console is more than not having enough money for a pc. People who buy a console should do it because it means something, if that something is being able to play certain games or having the "cool" piece of metal it doesn't matter, any console should be more than a box that runs games.
And I absolutely LOVE the line about that one video with the pc for $500 "better" than a ps5 because is something I thought at the exact moment they specify the parts.
"They had to get a used motherboard, that was the only way that they could build a PlayStation 5 equivalent for a PlayStation 5 price. And if you're using used parts… well you can get a used PlayStation 5 for eBay for $300-something"
LOL, techbros think they are very smart and some of them are actually smart but most of their content targets people they know they can fool.
Re: Black Myth: Wukong Is Now a PS5 Console Exclusive for an Indefinite Amount of Time
Xbox logo doesn't appear at the end of the trailer.
Media on twitter: "Sony is paying for this event, unbelievable"
Don't give Sony credit they don't deserve, the series S can delay games all by its own without help lol.
Re: Black Myth: Wukong Is Now a PS5 Console Exclusive for an Indefinite Amount of Time
@JackiePriest larian kind of did, series s doesn't have local co op, before that it was a politic of publishing on xbox that both versions had to be equal but they had to fold because BG3 was too big of a game.
Re: Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions Is a PS Plus Essential Game on Day One
I remember playing a lot of Quidditch world cup back in the ps2 so this is really nice.
Re: LEGO Horizon Adventures Is Official, Out on PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch
@Toot1st i'm sure they will cry of frustration when Marathon is out and makes them money on xbox, the same way MLB microtransactions do every year LOL.
Re: LEGO Horizon Adventures Is Official, Out on PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch
Spencer: I don't see how Helldivers 2 not being on xbox helps the industry.
Sony: Is he saying he doesn't want our LEGO Horizon game on xbox? Ok!
😂😂😂
Re: The Last of Us 2's Story Could Take Three HBO Seasons to Complete
The ultra violence of TLOU2 should be fun to watch. We live in a world were we have actually good vg adaptations and the most important questions of this new age are who is going to be Kratos? and is Tom Holland going to be Link or not? LOL
Re: Square Enix Drops OG Octopath Traveler, Available Now on PS5, PS4
@twitchtvpat probably because Sony didn't offer them money or square was asking too much for a 6 year old game (they already are, 60 for this game is crazy).
Re: The Last of Us 2 PC Port Wrapped Up Development More Than Six Months Ago, Report Claims
HBO The Last of Us season 2, why would they release it before that?
Re: The Last of Us 2 PC Port Wrapped Up Development More Than Six Months Ago, Report Claims
@HonestHick it's funny that you say that because A LOT of people with a pc has a ps5 and every time a new ps5 exclusive comes out there is more people buying a ps5. So no, obviously the strat of they are going to buy a ps5 for sure is not going to work but the fact that they have this ready and it isn't out yet means they weren't actually serious when they said that, they only said that to not say "Yeah well, Sony economy depends on hardware and has been depending on ps hardware since 2013 when we almost go bankrupt so if posible we want to keep selling consoles". They already know games cost too much (even when they aren't losing money, they just aren't making billions back) but what are they going to do? Cancel the games they already have started to start cheaper games from 0? That's just not going to happen ... a lot of time will pass before watching any kind of change there.
Also i think is cool pc players can wait, having the confidence to be alive in two years to play a game or to be alive 8 more years to play any game day one in this world that can end any day. That must be nice. I don't have that confidence so buying the cheap, weak and limited box to play the games I actually want to play without waiting doesn't sound like a terrible idea LOL.
Re: PlayStation Fans Are Losing Their Heads Over an Iffy Portable PS4 Rumour
I know a lot more about software production than hardware but is way too soon. Portal is basically the proof people will buy it and Lenovo making disposable handhelds means Sony has the economy to do so, but it's WAY too early.
Re: Octopath Traveler 1 Receives PS5, PS4 Age Ratings Ahead of SGF Show
@UltimateOtaku91 I don't think Mana will, kind of feels SE thinks it is going to sell a lot but who knows. I would add a trailer of something 14 related, making sure you remember is on xbox now, you have to pay 2 subscriptions but it's there lol.
Re: Octopath Traveler 1 Receives PS5, PS4 Age Ratings Ahead of SGF Show
Probably going to be in the xbox presentation given they aren't listed in Summer event thing. Better take the gamepass bag before COD kills it lol.
Re: Multiple Square Enix Rumours Spread Like Wildfire Ahead of Summer Game Fest
@vyseofhr vgs aren't basic needs so I would say no one "needs" it. But sure a lot of people would buy it just because they want to.
Re: Multiple Square Enix Rumours Spread Like Wildfire Ahead of Summer Game Fest
@LifeGirl capcom is doing great, square enix isn't lol. The only reason they aren't firing people in Japan is because it's ilegal to do it suddenly but they sure are firing people in other countries and making Forspoken 2 for the Nintendo Switch 2 won't help their situation.
