I'll get my magnifying glass at the ready! 😂

Lol... i dunno at which point expressing disappointment became "furious". I guess i am furious at the click baity title. 🤣

Looks stagnated to me. Only growing 1 or 2% a year now and it got a huge boost because of covid.

There are also big deals every week on all e-shops.

There is this principle that bigger sales numbers is better than a big margin.
It's something big companies struggle to understand. 😂
Maybe unexpectedly, but it also earned them free publicity, it seems.

Let's hope they will release a new dark arisen version as the game was lacking in some aspects.

I mean... if they drop a demo, i will give it ago. But, the release is so far away still. I think a beta test is more likely.

I dunno. Since i am not a fan of world/iceborne, i have reservations about this one.
I am more excited for the successor or Rise/Sunbreak.

What's there to talk about? I am speaking with my wallet.
Whales speak with theirs. Whatever. I don't mind waiting and getting the games for a gentler price to my wallet.
I have a huge back catalog. I am in no risk of running out of something to play.

I am gonna play in slow motion mode with a magnifying glass. 700 well spent. 😂

I am looking forward to all of them kondo-san. I love falcom games!
Thanks for this interview guys.
I am especially excited to see where Tokyo Xanadu 2 goes. I enjoyed the first game quite a lot in how it merged trails and ys elements.
As for trails, i do want to see it stay turn based. I think that as kondo-san points out, these systems lend themselves perfectly to party gameplay and character development.

I wonder though... what will happen when trails ends? Will there be a brand new legend of heroes? 🤔

How embarrassing. Mk11 still selling better than MK1.

Well... i care about trails and will get it. I will get MH eventually as well.
Been done with AC for several entries now and will skip this entry of like a dragon. I felt like Infinite wealth was too much of a filler and this is likely to be that too. Even though i really liked Gaiden and i think the smaller action game model is actually quite good.

That's disappointing. I liked they were one of the few publishers still willing to make smaller projects.

I really enjoyed Gundam SD Battle Alliance and Captain Tsubasa. I know they are not huge sellers, but i was hoping to see sequels. they are really enjoyable games.

Huh... not interested. I can watch new trailers on YouTube if there is anything i want to see.
And well... i am sure you will let me know if something multi-plat is announced. 😁

Not sure what kind of game can be made.
A new story with a visual novel? That's what was done with Psycho pass.

Death note is not an action series. So besides a graphic novel or a puzzle game, it doesn't really suit itself well for gaming.

@ChrisDeku Good. Thanks for fixing it, i suppose. Was worth me pointing it out.

But you went off misinterpreting what i said. I never said the IP doesn't belong to sony i said they didn't develop the game internally. So stop tooting that horn.

That site did fool me, so sony just needs to pay the developer.
There, i fixed my original post. I have no problem to admit when i made a mistake.

But i still disagree with what you are implying. You have a sample of 2 live services. A rate of 50% success and you broke even. Does this sound like a recipe for success? How much was spent financing these games and can a 50% success rate even me maintained? Also keep in mind the helldivers 2 playerbase is now much smaller, so you won't be getting the same rate of returns.

Astro here cost much less to develop, likely is selling more consoles and is making good sales profit with much less risk.

@ChrisDeku Ok. Take it up with these guys: https://helldivers.fandom.com/wiki/Helldivers_2

@ChrisDeku
Helldivers 2 is not a Sony developed game. It's developed by an independant swedish developer.
They did have to pay them.

Concord was a sony internal studio project.

I think it's about time to look at Nintendo as Sony's competitors and not Microsoft.
But i am sure Nintendo is fine to continue to be underestimated as they rake in the money.

Pretty much what i expected.

The question is if Sony learns from it.

Hmm... i dunno.

Will try this fabled demo and then will wait for a sale. It still feels like discount persona to me.

Some fighting words on that title.
I played 4, which got really old due to taking place in the desert. I couldn't finish it.
5 was actually surprisingly enjoyable and had more of a syphon filter vibe. I finished it.
6 i never played.

"Every objective is displayed with a quest marker, so you're quite literally just checking items off a to-do list with very little thought needed."

Remember this when you are reviewing sony made and other open world games.

Sadly though,buggy mmo's are the norm now. WoW the war within is filled with FPS bugs, memory leaks, disconnects and hordes of other bugs and it's the most successful it's been in the last years. It's sad.

I think it's both Ubisoft and what disney has done with the IP.

Also... no jedi. Who does star wars games without Jedi? It's like wanting to fail.

It's called "money". 😂

It's impossible to be the future of games unless having no more new games is the future of gaming.
There is a limited amount of people and time to make these games a success. It's not possible to keep having new ones if the existing ones horde the players. 🤷

Would be a great deal if it wasn't more boost Sonic. Hard pass.

@SJR It's still there. It's annoying to get to though. Scroll down past the news.

Sure... it was just an honest mistake i'm sure. These things happen. We just accidently coded the patch to put adds on the game pages. Oops... my hand slipped and built the code. 🤷

In all seriousness, this is something they at least considered, if not planned for a future update

Still waiting for a sale on the dlc. 😅

@Ajbr8687 Dude, why are you acting like the companies are struggling to make a profit? You are under the wrong impression. They want ever increasing profits. That is why they make greedy moves.
Are you really blaming the consumer for not liking it?

Sure, buy whatever you want. In the grand scheme it doesn't matter what we personally do. What will matter is the greater picture and how sales are affected. Though online discourse does impact it somewhat. So, consumers showing their displeasure is useful to defend the consumer perspective. So, there is nothing wrong with doing that.

Also, you are building a narrative there. You are trying to connect different people's and what they are saying about different things together. We are not a hive mind.

Or... a different sample of people participated in each poll. 🤷
I really don't think digital foundry changed anyone's opinion.

Oh yes,i am always confused where X, Y, A and B are in the switch controller. It's especially bad for those with Xbox controllers too cause it's the same letters in different positions.

@Rich33 No, the thing is Soul reaver 1 was incomplete. The vision was for a bigger game but due to time constraints and technical limitations they had to cut stuff from it. But the story was always meant to go into the past in the original game. SR2 was the direct continuation of what was cut from SR1. It takes place immediately after.

SR2 has an ending and defiance takes place centuries after. It's not something that happens immediately after and was planned and cut from the previous game. SR2 had hardly anything cut from it.

Yes, we can but hope for a continuation of the series.

It does show the potential of the chinese market. But, at what cost?
I don't like the importance that is being given to this game and nothing good will come of it.

@Rich33 Umm... SR2 does not end in a to be continued. Don't spread false stuff like that. The first game ended in to be continued, but not the second. The story arc was concluded. The story of the soul reaver was revealed.

What comes after is a new chapter taking that knowledge into account and takes place centuries after the conclusion of SR2. It's an actual sequel. Even if for Kain it was just a time jump. A lot of time takes place between the end of SR2 and the start of defiance.

I don't like it.
I care about my "baggage" and i dislike that it gets ignored. I truly liked my Gray warden from origins and even though he survived and had a child with Morrigan, he was reduced to one letter in inquisition.
I would love to know what he is doing and for him to make an appearance.

I don't enjoy just being handed a new cast at every entry and ignore everything that happened before.

I believe that is why mass effect was successful and why dragon age is disjointed.

Well... if people didn't get it for like 10 euros with all the chances they got, i don't know why they would care now just because of a slight remaster.

But, if the point is to peddle that Sony has been incredibly greedy and scummy of late, sure, they have been.

It looks interesting but once again, i cannot watch these videos with an obnoxious presenter that obviously doesn't know anything about the game making stupid pointless remarks and just generally a lot of noise while the developer is explaining the game. I hope they release this in a cleaner video format with only the developer.

I got the ps4 game. I will get the free upgrade.
But i skipped on the sequel cause the original bored me and i didn't get very far.
I might try it again, but tbh i am kind of tired of open worlds and their menial repetitive tasks and grindy nature.
Maybe not popular to say here, but i burned out of ubisoft open worlds and Sony ones haven't been that much better. It all feels like different shades of Assassin's Creed and I've been there and done that.

I didn't even notice it was a woman.

Reason why i am not buying is because i didn't find the original that entertaining.

Good. The "experts" can go buy it then.

I mean, even a 2k dollars/euros PC can be seen as "great value". Doesn't mean i'm getting one.

@Dragoon1994 I am certain it is coming. There was a huge dino crisis blow out on the latest capcom survey. I don't think there is any chance capcom isn't bringing it back after that and this is another sign in that direction.

@Ajbr8687 Surely they will be. Everything else was. I got legend of dragoon and the 3 siphon filters and i never subbed to ps+ whatever it is they are asking. I bought them separately on the ps store

It's clear the message being sent here. Playatation knows what is going on.

@Yagami It's graphical upgrade, wide screen support, a new interactive in-gamemap, instant toggle with classic graphics, photo mode, improved camera and modern controls and 60fps.
Also i will quote here crystal dynamics:
"Interactive lore map, view never-before-seen concept art, and delve into environments from the fabled “Lost Levels.”
Now i am not sure exactly what they mean there, but it sounds like we will be able to visit the cut content in these lost levels.

This is a sweet remaster. I know what you wanted was a triple A remake. But, that was never gonna happen without a proof of concept, and this is it, especially at how it's priced (30dollars). It has no reason to bomb. This is great value.

I am extremely pleased with this. I will be replaying these great games once this hits.
The first game in particular really needed this facelift and modernization. It was cumbersome to play these days.

Let's hope this is the beginning of a series return.
I do wish Defiance was on this too.

I recently beat the first game. Yes, it's pretty for a while, but it sure was boring like most open world games. Lots of repetitive and grindy tasks and the story was hardly interesting.
I liked it somewhat, but i don't want to do that again. But, given the success i can understand them making a sequel. All i see is more of the same though and i've had enough of that already.

Well... i would say this was more necessary than the other ones. This game was known to have some performance issues.

Horizon and The last of us always ran well.

I mean... we all could tell it would happen. The similarities are obvious.

Can't be surprised when it finally does.

Well... it may be the future. The future that sees that the live service focus was a mistake.
