The only reason why I would like to see numbers is because I like numbers lol I don't really care who is playing what, I would never play something just because a lot of people are.

Helldivers is the perfect example. I was ready to play before the game was out, I'm glad Arrowhead is getting the recognition they deserve but now that A LOT of people are only buying the game to make bait on youtube and tiktok about the problems the game has I can't wait for the numbers to go down because I know I'm going to keep playing the game for the years to come just like the first one, 500k players per day or not.

I'm more interested in sales than in players numbers and sales are info even more delicate to show so it is what it is.

@UltimateOtaku91 this is exactly what is happening. The way they talk it looks like sony gave them development money ONCE and never gave them money again because of the internal problems the studio had to put their ideas together about the game.

So we are going to act like people give a damn about the ps store pc edition? LOL. Sammy if the day is slow this site never made a story about the secret fps project Sony is working with ex Deviaton devs.

@djlard thinking that devs don't care about quality just because they are owned by big companies is an insult against people who are actually outstanding in what they do, not "anyone" can work on those places.

You are talking about the entertainment industry, don't forget that. The reason why videogames exist is because they make money but at the end of the day all of them, included the games people use to express problems or life experiences are still that, entertainment. They don't need to be "art" to be great.

Everything was great until "building games that are actually fun ..." once again someone from the industry thinking they know the concept of universal fun when the concept of fun depends directly of who is playing the game.

War is a business, that include console wars lol.

I don't think it will reach the Palworld ground (I would be happy if they do tho) BUT if we think about other legendary franchises with online it already surpassed Halo Infinite peak. Halo may not be what it was but every time there is a new one (even more now that Infinite multi was free) thousands of people go back to the franchise looking for the same feeling it had in the 360 era.
The fact that more people are giving this so called "generic coop game" a chance it's outstanding.

Imagine if it was on xbox like Spencer wants. The numbers would be "f*cking amazing" + 10 people!

LOL

This is 100% port begging btw. Those socialists want to infiltrate our forces.

@ShogunRok that's exactly what will happen my friend.

Remember the "Nintendo is my best friend" campaign when crossplay started to be a thing? Well this will be more of the same LOL

Spencer is still trying to play with the xbox users lol. The worst part is I'm sure people still believe in him.

I wasn't expecting anything because if I wanted to play xbox games I would play them on pc but this sure isn't much lol, I'm only interested in Grounded and I hope this erases the argument of sony nor trying anymore because they won.

"If you really wanna steal those cod players please add a PVP mode at some point to keep the more hardcore gamers engaged with the game" YIKES.
I don't want to imagine a world where Helldivers wants to be cod 2.0. No thanks.

I love that Johan is so vocal when it comes to these things.

This almost looks like a Subnautica mod that became a full game. If this game can capture the charm the Subnautica games have the exclusivity could be good business.

Still can't believe Disney chose this guys to make the KOTOR remake (Sony was just paying the development to get the exclusivity like they to with other games).

It sure looks like they only want to shut down everything and sell the ips separately.

"Every screen is an xbox" sounds like a line from movie about a dystopian world LOL

Before this what I was expecting for the rest of the year after Stellar Blade was Destiny 2 last expansion, GOW remake and Concord. This takes the possibility of GOW, still not the biggest news lol.

@Th3solution The game itself didn't touch any subject as far as we know that's why the korean government didn't do something to stop the release. It was the developer who made de comparison.

Now, this was actually good PR for Sony. Other reports have claimed korean users have praised the move from Sony to put the game out completely from Korea.
Sony investing so much money in Korea right now was probably the reason they acted so quick. So it looks like it won't have any consequences for Sony.

The problem is actually for KT LOL, Sony is one of the biggest income sources they have and this could actually ruin that relationship so hopefully they apologize or something.

Great review. I'm so happy Arrowhead is getting the lights they deserve, such good developers with love for their community and their product.

After almost 10 years of working exclusively for PS it's time for Sony to put them a ring.

@DiddyWahDiddy for good games it doesn't matter if they are services or not*

Many people who complain about services don't want to acknowledge there is a reason why the most popular ones are successful, and the reason is because they are FUN (to their user objective).

Great numbers for a great game from great devs.

If they print the Halo MC I would buy that just for the fun of it having the ps5 banner. Other than that Grounded and KI. I was lucky because nothing big MS bought in the ps4/5 era was of my interest, Obsidian was the only studio that was a loss.

@K-Wud your opinion is respected but the 2 core ideas are things pc players don't want. They don't want to pay for prebuild pcs and they don't want to use other launchers to play games, that's why ms started releasing blizzard games on steam.

@Dodoo thanks

I wonder what % is $1.5 billion today compared with the $1.45 from Sony 2 years ago.

I'll be doing my part (if Amazon doesn't fail me)

I feel like the guys at Bend Studios have a lot of heart, they work pr like few studios. Days Gone was just the wrong project with a manchild director.

I really hope they show something great next time.

• "Korean Nier" and SE
• Konami and the announcement of "Not-MGS in space"
• Capcom next big game and one of Sony biggest japanese investments that launch the same day.

That SoP was wild.

@TheCollector316 once EVO Europe is up and running I wouldn't be surprised. Bungie is/was working in what they called a "fighter" but after last year maybe that never happens.

@Deoxyr1bose Sony doesn't decide everything, that's true. But the same way the EVO GM always answered the "where is ki" with "we have to ask". If you made millions with a partner who happens to have a fg and would benefit from some exposition you can do the same, ask.

@Deoxyr1bose after Hogwarts success the PS-WB partnership is something both parties won't let go for now. MK had an invitation all the time.

If xbox goes 3rd party KI can be a retro tournament in the future, Sony already gave it some love last year. A PS port could help a lot LOL.

ArrowHead has the style and personality you should expect from people who live making vg. It's time for Sony to put them a ring.

@get2sammyb this is it!

Wouldn't it be funny if everything is a lie and the announcement is the all digital series x?

What I would pay for a "Aaahh!!! Real Monsters" snes game remake.

@tangyzesty and I don't care if you care about cloud or not LOL. My opinion was about the big companies not consumers.

@HotGoomba no one, everyone will focus on cloud while Nintendo and Sony do their thing. It'll be like buying an analog radio in 2024 (which btw Sony keeps making)

Korean and chinese games are real and are starting to drop. Welcome to the new age

@nomither6 couple years? You mean the lockdown years that made every multi million project in existence get delay?

What some people need to understand is companies only care about not losing money. MS will make even more money = more gp games = gp is everywhere= people less interested in not nintendo consoles.
Internet tec is catching. Sony needs reasons for people to keep buying and they have their own problems, the service dream is over, bungie doesn' know how to do business anymore, etc.
Sony president has said cloud is the next focus, well MS has the lead so this is far from "Sony not trying because they won".

TBH the only xbox game I want to play is Grounded, Machine are great devs tho.

Those crazy twitter guys who said MS was only buying to go 3rd party were right LOL

This is awesome, I remember watching this two years ago and wishing for a ps ver. but these games only come to consoles with direct investment from console owners like MS with Valheim.
Well looks like Sony secured V Rising and I will be there day 1.

If this works for Clone Hero I'm so in.

@Deoxyr1bose maybe once it is on the next switch it will but persona 5 took 2 versions, 5 consoles and pc to sell 5 millions. A very divisive FF16 took 5 days to sell 3 million + sony paying a huge part of development costs + sony paying the marketing (the last 2 apply for 7r too). Between SE and Sega, SE has a bigger chance of making more revenue in one month (I don't say February because FF releases the 29th of a month that usually has only 28 days LOL)

Saw a video of a guy who maid some celeste leves in 3D with their blessing so I guess the result was good enough for the devs to make their own.

What is funny is that this game is japanese I thought it was korean all this time. They sure didn't give a f*ck about AI stealing Pokemon or Ghibli LOL.
I don't know if this has mt but if it doesn't I don't think MS will care if it's exclusive or not, the sales are already in, the early access will lose hype with time.

@nomither6 this is awfully close to the ideology MS has/had behind the idea of hostile takeover over Nintendo so ... if it's just competition and not "Nintendo on pc" then that's cool.

@ATaco because they cost (dev time, servers, power, etc) way more than what mt can make, take fighting games as example. People said f2p was the way to go, multiversus came out with big numbers ... and then died the same year. FG NEED the sales from people who will only play 2 months to exist. And just like that other games.
