@Ludacritz You are 100% right but what they really want is to get at least one new Fallout while the series exists and its loved. Obsidian recently said it could be on the cards after grounded, their new game of this year and outer worlds 2. So just for the sake of why they are saying this now it would be too late for the hype (maybe).
@Shepherd_Tallon sony puts both. They pay development and have an internal team that works with studios that will release console exclusive games for them like SE, SU, KT, etc.
Saudi is a minority owner of Nintendo. I haven't seen any changes in Nintendo games, have you?
Tencent is owner of Riot, Minority owner of Epic and most importantly owner of Grinding Gear Games, everything the chinese government DON'T want in games Path of Exile has it.
@Americansamurai1 if people eat meat or use products made in poor countries they shouldn't worry about terrible governments with lots of money to waste. Either of them buying SE would be the best option because they don't usually interfere with business, they let it happen.
@RBMango the fact that they only needed to show 3 japanese games to be "exponentially" better shows how bad the PS showcase was last year and how society loves anime (Persona 3 was pretty mid sorry).
But what will determine this year who is better? Even if Sony shows their future if xbox shows Silksong people will say xbox showcase was better LOL so I wouldn't expect for anyone to prove you wrong.
@Pranwell the bigger problem is society lol. Companies can't do ***** anymore because society (who btw moves more money than what people think because economy relies on public perception, they don't need to buy or not buy the product to make companies stock fall) is used to talk sh*t ABOUT EVERYTHING.
"Then why NIKKE ..." because as much money as they make people barely know nikke. That's why nikke fans are worried about shift up going public. Because if a big company enters and makes everything bigger society can change their games, already did.
@OnlyGaming LOL that's the position you want to take based in what I said? Perfect for me.
No. What I'm saying is that the source this news used put rules to read the original report and one of those rules was the PS charts change day by day and the report was made based in that specific day. All that I already said is what happened around that day.
-So sony didn't have NEW or HYPED games that specific day to "carry the brand"? No.
-Should sea of thieves or grounded being considered as new games from MS? Those games have years out. They are only new for a new audience but it's not like MS out of no were released 7 new games in a year. Actually they have released more games for PS this year than for Xbox.
-Should Call of Duty or Overwatch being considered as successful MS games? Yes because now they own them but they didn't become successful on PS after the acquisitions. They had years being a success.
-Should any of those games being considered as games that "carry the brand"? Well ... when those games were released xbox didn't sell like crazy and GP isn't growing like crazy now that they own Activision so I would say not yet.
Now, you are talking about help but I wonder help to who exactly? We all know the 4 games broke exclusivity because MS wanted the money. Sony was doing everything to end the Activision acquisition, why not making Activision games exclusives? Maybe because Activision makes the most money on PS? Maybe ... Sure if MS makes them exclusive Sony would lose a billion in revenue but there were years where they lost more than one billion specially in the movies department, did that stop Sony from making movies? No.
So one has to wonder who exactly needs more help, the guy who is used to good and bad years because of ***** movies or the guy who is doing "everything right" and yet the most successful part of his business is selling products to "the competition". Right?
@OnlyGaming not that surprising if you think that MS released 2 games services in a span of a couple months, Hifi is already at discount, fallout had the push of the series and is on ps plus extra and the other MS games are services already popular on PS like Call of Duty or Overwatch.
Conveniently this report was before Stellar Blade, after FF and the complete dominance of Helldivers 2 lol.
@Toot1st not quite the same, the games that were the reason to buy studios like Returnal for Housemarque, Spiderman for Insomniac and the remakes for Blue Point were games Sony paid for and in the case of the remakes and Spiderman games that wouldn't exist without sony. There is a big difference between that and buying Bethesda because they have the most famous western rpg or Activision for Call of Duty.
Bungie is the only company they have bought that already got important ips before the acquisition and if Destiny 2 final dlc results to be a big hit NO ONE is going to credit Sony for that lol.
Sucks when devs have to explain the ideology behind game design (and change it) because people want everything to be the same when game design also helps to tell the story of that specific world you are playing. Most garbage from the Helldivers subreddit come from that thought process.
@OldGamer999 Mario Odyssey is fun but it was and still is one of the most mid 3d Mario games out there. And the fact that Nintendo took Mario with sombrero out of the cover because of offended white people when no one in Mexico was offended by it and actually most fans liked the idea made it even worst LOL.
I don't get why you guys didn't just put their tweet lol.
In the tweet they say there will be news in the next couple months, what other thing will happen in the next couple months? Oh yeah PlayStation SoP/Showcase, so this game could actually survived development hell + generational transition + covid and have something significant to show.
Saw the japanese video just to check the physical and collectors editions announcement. SEGA really made the announcements with box renders without the PS layout even when it says that those editions will only release for PS in Japan LOL.
That weird *ss deal with xbox-chan (because xbox is otaku like the cool kids) never fails to amuse.
Boring game but it was necessary for Sony to start backing more and more indies. Sea of Stars, Dave the diver and V rising are now the product of that journey.
The animes they have paid for have been great and the animation super clean but I don't think Comedy Central wants an anime of this (or maybe they do with how popular anime is these days who knows lol)
Obsidian is a great dev and this is the only game I'm interested in from the first wave but I was watching the trophies and the main tile is messed up, they just copied the PS4 rectangular one and pasted it in the square of the PS5 one. Those details man ... come on MS.
@Nepp67 they care, for many of them and that of course includes de CEO this is the work of their lives, it isn't just another product for mass consumption. Btw being a goofball is actually part of the Helldivers concept lol.
They had a vision and they are going to defend and follow that vision. They aren't going to give in just because some people want what they got in other games (people who btw also think being toxic against the devs is ok because they were always toxic in their previous communities. Something you didn't see in the Helldivers 1 small community).
The funniest part about the weird analogy is that it's actually quite good if you see it from another angle. Just think about all the vegan recipes that try to make food look and taste like meat. If you are vegan there shouldn't be any purpose for that.
I didn't know Helldivers 2 was going to be the success it is today but I knew it was going to be as fun as it is. All my trust was with ArrowHead and they delivered big time.
Cool for number 1. If I could change anything I would put Unicorn Overlord on 3rd and send Persona 3 home. I'm sure SEGA deal to treat every Atlus game as an xbox exclusive is so good they are asking you $100 to get the full experience lol.
@nomither6 and thanks to Bungie and Destiny 2 they also have experience with services full of terrible decisions, people seem exited about the last major DLC but who knows how well it'll do, they already lost a lot of money. As a result they freed ND, Insomniac and others cancelling half the planned services and half of the survivor were delayed. So one could say there is balance now lol.
Helldivers 2 has also been top 3 most sold games on Steam for two months now.
If it wasn't that all the industry knows Helldivers is a PlayStation IP (everyone but some pc players lol, they just aren't used to how good PS games are) Tencent would have bought ArrowHead two months ago.
@breakneck yup, for the community who are very into trophies platinums are important. Videogames are entertainment and for many trophies are also entertainment, if you have limited time to play vg you better go with the whole package.
The tittle may suggest different but this game had a gameplay demo in a chinese expo like months ago, if anything it went from "is this real?" to "this exists" and that for chinese and korean projects is A LOT lol.
Is this game THAT good? I don't know maybe is because the only pirates I care about are space pirates but this game looks more like a streamer game than something that I could be crazy about. I know the pre orders were high and hopefully people enjoy what they are paying for (paying for your games is what cool kids do lol) but if I were MS I wouldn't decide if my games can sell on PS with something so niche.
I had a déjà vu or these news were already out a couple days after saying there were no big games until march of the next year? Maybe the guy said it back then and now said it again in a different podcast.
I mean if they were to the extent of saying "No MAJOR tittles" one could think that they have something small in hands for this year. Even Concord is still in plans for this year, they just didn't count it as major (actually the right decision, we don't want another days gone situation, not everything is gold lol).
