Not played it myself but I do feel sorry for those who went out and purchased it

I'm actually going to try it ,my first train sim game , it was out on game pass day one so no big loss if I don't like it but I'll give it a shot

@feral1975 I'd bet they already about to start the next remaster for the next gen lol
$90 lol

I swear some of u must work for Sony cause they don't want to listen either
And I'm not saying it's not a great game before u jump on the bandwagon...

It still has sold less than saints row ( let face it a game that been rubbished mostly everywhere ) on the same system

Here is why

1 ppl don't want to pay a high price for a remaster
2 some ppl don't want to play the game AGAIN
3 some ppl have to be choosy on what they spend Thier money on due to current climate so a over priced remaster of a game they already played twice won't change thier mind

Edit sorry to anyone that read that I posted to the wrong thread ,that will teach me to open up more than one tab lol

@StylesT wait till the news that it's a Xbox exclusive then it will explode lol

Next headline .....no refunds ... We are buying another mobile company

@XenonKnight not for me I don't own a switch so makes no diffrent but gd cause it will make money

Maybe Microsoft know more

@UltimateOtaku91 Nintendo will soon have cod when this deal goes through

@Would_you_kindly they already got it sewn up ( subs services) they already have 70% plus of the subs according to Sony. And that's before Sony raised Thier prices and Xbox havent had any first party aaas this year next year will b diffrent

I blame Sony cause for years they have been stubborn no we can't put our games anywhere that isn't our console , while Microsoft was already putting games out on pc and now they got TV/phone/ tablet /pc while Sony was being stubborn ...now they playing catch up and I bet they are wishing they did it sooner

Last week they were saying how skint they are and now this as well as a company purchase ? It's the equivalent of claiming benefits while in a million pound a year job

I own sam and max save the world on Xbox ,I never got In to it it lacked something from Sam and max hit the road from back in the day

@IonMagi a lot of Twitter posts saying the release date is the same date as the price rise over in Japan

The worst part is every one hoping this won't take away from single player games cause Thier PR says so ....

If your making 500 million on a single player game but making 2 billion from mobile f2p crap ( if they get a hit like say candy crush ) , which one do u think they will invest more in ? Makes zero sense to invest more in single player games

@Blaze215 I'm more annoyed they raised prices last week now they are buying rubbish like this

I'll try it out on game pass ,it looks like a game I'd play but might get bored of quickly

@Shepherd_Tallon I think a distraction will b coming soon ,maybe a trailer for wolverine /spider man 2

@GamingFan4Lyf This is the problem ppl take this stuff ,these companies should realise it's the consumer that's king not the shareholder
If they had any respect for Thier customers they would reverse this

Is the consumer or the shareholder king ?
We shall see if they reverse this ....if it goes as well as the upgrade fee ,I know who wins unfortunately

It looks mental !!!! I have so got to play it

@mrtennis1990 hats off to you , most ppl just care about themselves and u post shows u actually care about OTHER ppl , good on you

@eshy76 you are right they did backtrack on it ( it was gold they did it on ) but Ur still right

This is what I hate about Sony, yes Microsoft did backtrack on a price change cause every one kicked off and they said ok we won't do it which is gd for us consumers , ppl kick off at Sony they don't care , same as this price going up Sony will see all the backlash they get and still stick to it

@stvevan I dont agree with it , nearly every story on here is ps is doing great here and ps is selling great here and so on and so on
It's not as if they have been in losses for a number of years cause they being saying how they made great profits

And those saying about fish and chips shops raising prices yeh cause they don't make billions every year Sony do.
It's amazing how some ppl defend these giant companies taking the Mickey out of thier loyal customers

Sony kidnapped my kids. ..it's ok they did to make games better

I'm hoping Thier as gd as the Xbox elite cause if they are once I get used to to I won't be playing on a normal controller again , feels so weird going back to a normal Xbox one after the elite , the normal ones just like a fisher price toy after

@Sakai oh yes that high on life was amazing ,love the knife he sold it for me

@Reeneman not so lame for the ppl who will be playing it day one without paying £70

Hoping by about Christmas there is a gd sale then I'll pick it up ,if not next year

@naruball they should release day one on pc it's a lot of money

@Dudeman1 ok it says prior sorry I didn't see that word
Post deleted I was wrong.

@Dudeman1 type Microsoft store percentage

Microsoft takes 5–15% of the sale price for apps and 30% on Xbox games. Prior to January 1, 2015, this cut was reduced to 20% after the developer's profits reached $25,000. In 2021, 669,000 apps were available in the store.

@Dudeman1 yes they do till they make 25,000 them it's cut to 20% please feel free to Google it

@naruball I myself think great and I know alot of ppl don't think so but I do, spread the games it's a whole lot of chunk of money

Pretty soon ps games will b day one pc and I know all the SO called experts will say NEVER ..but the same ones also said we would never see Sony exclusives on pc

@UltimateOtaku91 oh yeh it's a witchunt ....no it's not Sony screwed themselves by keeping it at %30 and as someone else has put taking away games from other stores

Amazingly the suit is from 2015 the same year that Microsoft introduces 20% after 25,000 developer profits and it looks like Sony didnt so that's prob why Sony and not Microsoft

Really excited for this since I saw it at the gamesfest earlier in the year and I didn't know it existed till then , and it's on game pass day one to boot

@Microbius same here I was a late comer to the first but once I played it they had me

For those with game pass you can now pre Install via the game pass app ready for day one

@mvhess 23rd it comes out
Edit : sorry I thought u meant death stranding

@Beerheadgamer82 I think u'll find games that are on GP can go on ps plus ...bugsnax for example is on GP now and ps plus, so no automaticlly can't go on ps plus /extra etc

@somnambulance I can't see anything positive about any of the deals ,it's a money move, collect all you can then either sell or rent parts out .
I'm hoping they keeping all the ips and 4/5 years down the line we will see all these IPS out or at least been announced ,only time will tell

@MacRider Sony really can't afford em as it's worth approx 88.08 billion
SEK( 8,409,274,171.20 US) and that's without the newer acquisitions
And Sony as a whole as of August 12, 2022 is $106.16B.
I cant see them betting the whole company on buying embracer group

Although I can see them buying single IPS on the future if someone doesn't get to them first of course

And my personal opinion is apple ,I could see them buying them then renting out the ips to the rest and sit and rake it in ,make the other smaller companies bring in Ur profits ,it would be a massive hit for them and with all the ips that Thier collecting it's a big lot of the gaming /console pie

And lotr rights on Apple TV only in the future ,ppl would pay for that

@somnambulance they could even sell them IPS off tomorrow( not tomorrow as the deal hasn't totally finished but u get my point lol ) if they wanted to ,they are in it for the money NOT to make gamers happy
Everyone saying oh multiplatform games blah blah ,not the case at all and anyone that thinks that chances are will b very disappointed in the future

@uptownsoul my comment wasn't about backlash it was about them having business motivation sorry I should have put more

backlash or not it's about the money for em ,no company actually gives a hoot about the ppl buying the games as long as they make lots of money

And with embracer group as soon as someone offers them enough for a IP to b console/pc exclusive they will take it

Hence yeh they have lots of business motivation to do so

@uptownsoul

This could change positively if the company decides to enter a deeper strategic relationship with one or more platforms around the upcoming pipeline.

Yes it does

@UltimateOtaku91 yeh after the financial section

This could change positively if the company decides to enter a deeper strategic relationship with one or more platforms around the upcoming pipeline.

Notice the ONE or

In other words show me the money !!

@UltimateOtaku91 funny u should say that yet when they purchased the ips from square their website about the purchase clearly says that they are basically open to the highest bidder so no that depends who they rent the ips out to and whether they decide to keep them multiplatform or not
