J-Dubs

@LogicStrikesAgain logical

The CWA doesn't even represent Neon Koi workers as its an American union and that studio was in Berlin.

@get2sammyb Yeah totally fair.

Wouldn't your questions be something they would more likely address in an investor call or in some financial documents? At least controlling dev costs etc. I get PSVR 2 silence is bad for the product itself as support is nonexistent.

@Mostik Same here, love Metro.

If it looks this good throughout and plays well and is 60 hours..... damn.

Yeah I think that means its going to be shorter and more linear. Which could still be great if the graphics and gameplay hit the whole time.

Kojima is one of a kind.

I feel like this was more than I was expecting, and for $10 a pretty good deal for when I eventually replay it.

@FatalBubbles Colin said on the show this does NOT include cost of buying studio.

@Nem Poppycock!

@Banjo- lol

@Crono_Roughknight Yeah fair point, maybe its not hurting them at all or not as much as I had assumed. Do not think its the only problem either.

@themightyant You can't really call it an edge case because we don't really know how many games will use the features or how they will perform. This is some evidence for this game running better. Does that make it an "edge case?" No. Just means there is a small sample size.

@HotGoomba Surely only the CBU3 devs at Square will be able to use this tech.

Cue people complaining about how much it costs for this amount of clearly observable difference.

@Banjo- You might know people that did that, but what about the people that didn't play any of them because they don't know that the stories are not connected. I'm saying they are missing sales because of this numbering system. You might know the difference, but lots of people don't. You might anecdotally know people that played 7 then played 4 or whatever, but you probably don't know anyone who saw that 16 came out in 2023 and thought "***** i have to play 15 games before this." Its why God of War in 2018 wasn't "God of War 4."

@Nem No they don't.

This isn't the only problem but I think they need to ditch the numbering system on the games. 16? Really? Not everyone has been gaming since the 90s, and younger people don't know that these are more or less completely disconnected games.

Ratchet didn't sell very well, but this has to have cost a lot less to make, so overall lower than say God of War sales might still be a success.

Looks like a better version of Jusant

This got me thinking, if the PS5 pro makes an appearance in this game, which is reasonable to think, then the announcement has to come before that right?

holy ***** *****

Waiting for that physical edition they've been talking about

Weird time to announce this too as historically I think those have come out in Aug-Nov timeframe, we're one year out from that.

I thought every game since like 2008 HAD to have trophies? Why are these and a handful of other skirting that rule?

I wish it looked a little more like Berlin as opposed to every generic NYC/Night City inspired cyberpunk dystopia.

@Danloaded Yeah also wondering if there will be a physical. Sony usually does them so would assume there will be, but the PS Blog post doesn't mention it.

@dschons that nendo is mega expensive right now

Its a very cool design, but have an Edge so whats the use?

@ED_209 If thats true then I hope its incubating in a different direction. If its comedic lightheartedness is anything like what we're seeing in Concord they shouldn't waste the money.

@MindfulGamer its $24.99 and M rating.

How hard does the platinum seem?

Wonder if its a pro devkit, apparently they look exactly the same

@edwinjoe450 Saw dev on reddit say that more copies are supposed to go out to retailers this week. FWIW my Target order shipped yesterday.

Looking forward to this one

@edwinjoe450 I'm in the same boat.

Anybody in USA try to buy still wakes the deep physically? Something weird is going on there.

Not anime per se, but more Armored Core?

@MidnightDragonDX Part 3 is getting a physical, and judging by the display box that comes with the part 3 collectors edition, i would bet heavily that 1&2 are getting a physical release too (prob on same disc) as the display box has room for 2 regular sized game boxes.

If concord is coming out this year they have to show it. After the last CGI teaser if its all cutscene that wont cut it. Plus its live service online multiplayer, generally not much to show other than gameplay for that.

@Dodoo No I got you. I was trying to make joke about how all xbox games are going to end up on ps these days but it didn't land.

@Dodoo Kind of still get 3 these days if xbox has 2 and sony has 1

Fairgames, Concord, Death Stranding 2, Wolverine, Venom, what else is announced at this point?

If Square keeps spending money to keep this turd around they should stop whining about their other games not selling well.

Personally most excited for Death Stranding 2 out of anything Sony has announced so I'd have to say its largely working.

@Greifchen You can buy them whenever you want (they are not limited time offers) and they last forever so you don't have to rush to complete them.

might suck, but the potential is there for something cool

did they fix the settlement trophy that i never got, the one trophy that kept me from getting the platinum?

@AverageGamer Yeah maybe. IDK though Sony doesn't publish this stuff and leaking it if you work there would likely be a big deal. I don't think Sony even shares this stuff in financial disclosures. Ampere is obviously a company making these claims, but its based off of their guesses not based on numbers Sony is giving them.
