Anyone with brains could easily recognize this fake rumor.
Let's say if Concord did not flop. Selling 5 million copies would generate $200 million revenue, which is only half of this fake development cost, and which is still a disaster. How could you believe this is true. No one will ever make a game that could not cover the development cost even if it sells 10 million copies.

A remaster of a 2019 ps4 game that still looks decent on ps5. A game that is available on PS plus. Really curious who will buy.

I believe it is Spider-Man 2 pro-remaster version. That game is too old now.

Just admit that PS5 exclusive games are not selling any good. This year, FF7rebirth, Stellar Blade, Rise of the Ronin and Astro Bot, none of them reach the sales that match their quality. Astro-bot and Rise of the Ronin might even not hit the 1mil milestone now.
Only Spider-Man2 has massive sales. But come on, that is Spider-Man.

The sarcasm on Astro Bot makes me feel disgusting. This game is definitely a GOTY contender. Criticism and possible hatred towards SONY shouldn’t be aimed at Astro Bot, especially from someone who doesn’t even own a PS to play the game.

My issue with MC score is that it seems to not include any Japanese reviews, which is absolutely weird as almost half of good games every year are produced by Japanese companies/studios. This year especially true, Elden Ring, Astro Bot, FF7, Tekken 8, etc.

@Rafie
Well, if you consider GTA V, eafc, COD and Rainbow Six Siege always dominate US and UK, nothing strange about the JP market.

It's unfair to judge the game based on length (as long as it is not as short as RE3). Otherwise, Spider-Man 2 only takes less than 20 hours to beat and around 25 hours for platinum.

@PsBoxSwitchOwner It is only early access for the first two chapters which probably does not include any spoilers. This is just like a demo of the game. I mean early access to the demo does not hurt anybody and charging for game demo is not an unusual thing.

I still hope this IP is held by Square Enix rather than some western companies.

Also, this game should not be titled Dragon Dogma. It should be Goblin Dogma, literally more than 60% of the monsters are just goblins.

@Cloud39472 It is true. Rebirth is criticized for its performance mode which has a pretty stable 60 fps. However, the disastrous optimization of DD2 seems not to affect its review score. Who knows why?

If Rebirth does not sell well, we will probably no longer have other 3A level JRPGs in the future. I bought both a digital and a physical copy. Shame on the JRPG fans.

Can they just add it to PS plus before they are trying to grab money from PC players?
We got FF7 remake, ghost of tsushima and forbidden west (which release the same time or after TLOU2) three PS exclusives in PS plus for a long time. But why this game not?

I could not understand the stats of skull and bones. It is definitely a flop and it does not have the fanbase of dc fans. However, its sales seem not so bad.

During the battle, the FPS could drop to 24 (according to IGN). What can I say? DD2 out (for me).

@Juanalf Scenes in Village and RE4 are pretty small size and usually in doors. However, DD2 is an open world game and maybe Capcom can not handle it.

Either 30 or 60. It must be stable. This game is not visually impressive so no excuses.

@mikeodyssey Why do you think I hate Nintendo? I have a NS too and I am willing to pay for great games like TOTK or Mario Wonder. However, I just do not understand why so many people are paying for mediocre games like Mario vs DK and Detective Pikachu. So you cannot accept the fact that Nintendo produces both great games and mediocre games every year?

@SteveJameson True. Never understand why many of the mediocre games from Nintendo sold so well.

@Bentleyma That is the power of marketing, especially coming from the biggest game company in Europe. But we all know it is a flop, with both low review scores and critics from the players.

This is Bandai. They produce trash anime game every year. No surprise.

I can not say about the gameplay currently. But the graphic of this game is just crap. It looks like a late PS3 game and is definitely not worth that high price.

Will they add new trophies?

@trev666 No. People will turn to PC if that happens. If Microsoft give up, then Steam is more like a competitor than Nintendo.

@3Above I quite enjoy the beta and cannot understand people's negativity without actually playing the game. I can say for sure many people are commenting on something they do not know.

This is an online multiplayer game. No one cares about platinum trophy tbh. For example, platinum rate for OW2 and SF6 is only 0.2%.

This year we have a new Final Fantasy 7 on PlayStation and then MS reminds me of Sega.

@RudeAnimat0r You do not have to grind in FF7R. You get triple exp after the first playthrough. You just need to do some collections to be prepared for the Hard Mode. You do not need to go through all quests and do collections again. All enemies and bosses will be different in hard mode. Most of time spent in hard mode is to budget your resources and design the strategies for each boss.

@carlos82 The ff7R hard mode and normal mode are almost two completely different games. You can play like an action game in normal mode. However, the hard mode is way more strategic, and the core of the combat system is more turn-based. I spent double amount of time to finish the hard mode and think it is worth the efforts and think the combat system is one of the best ever made.

Currently 9, if they can invite Tifa or Clive, I will give it a 10.

Not day one. There is definitely a P3R royal or what edition. P3R is not even a complete game without the content from PS2 versions.

Wait a minute. I am not prepared. I am still refreshing myself with the Chapter 1 hard mode.

Just look at the Japanese Spider-Man2 digital code. You will thank me. It only costs an incredible $4. Besides, it has English voice and subtitles.

@NieR_Dark It dropped after the Xbox direct. We know nothing about Ronin now, it only has a trailer of total 4mins these two years.

I hope Ronin will release a demo after SOP. Otherwise, I am concerned because of Wolong's quality.

@Northern_munkey They can put the story to another universe or something. However, this is a sequel in the Arkham universe. It literally ruins the characters from the Arkham Knights. Yes, Bruce Vayne who saved the Arkham Gotham in one night is not a hero that can resist brainwash and he was just headshot by a Harley. What is the point for people playing the Batman: Arkham.

This game literally destroys everything from Batman: Arkham.
I can't understand why Rocksteady belittle the Justice League Superheroes to elevate the ""Suicide Squad"".

If this game is not a sequel to Batman: Arkham, I will try it. However, this game literally destroys everything from Batman: Arkham.

Think of GoW free DLC. The new mode should be a free upgrade instead of 10 bucks.

I bought both physical and digital versions for games I love,. (For example, I have both versions of 16 mainline FF games except 11,13,14).
I also prefer to buy physical switch games and digital PS games.

I have heard that WB game did not give the game to reviewers for rating. Is that true?

@devildragon2k23 The NG+ in Yakuza like a dragon was actually locked in paywall in the Asian versions. They removed that in the western version though. Now, SEGA added this in LaD8 globally.

Another crazy thing about this and P3R is that they are PS4 games but fxxking cost $70. All other Japan companies like SE and Capcom never did that.
Activision, EA, and now SEGA. Just BS.

@Th3solution Some games are probably only console exclusive, which means they will be on PC.

I won't say these are bad games, but they definitely could not justify the price increase.

Why bother buying Persona 6 when there is definitely a Royal/Golden Edition that costs another full game price? Atlus is one of the greediest companies ever seen.
