Not going in on particular details but some at Ubisoft were aggressively stating how accurate their history of Japan was. If it was so accurate why are the flipping the switch now 🤔
Understand inflation but sony needs to aleast price to a break even point. They dont seem like they want to lose a cent on a sold machine and instead want to profit on hardware now. Switch still like $200-$300 and is their preferred handheld
Same exact games as games of old, very bland and not revolutionary like they were when ubisoft was big. They discount games so quick that people train to not buy right away as well. Add in the character and frankly Star wars is unappealing to many. We saw how expensive licensing can be with spiderman and wolverine leaks. This is gonna hurt them badly
@FinneasGH i would assume it includes IP and Team Acquisition cost from probably monsters. Needless to say tho, huge waste of time and money as many 2nd party games could have been made with that
They are a super expensive team to run with where they are located and the people they have hired. Probably 25-30 million a year and based on last game could be 8 years out from anything new and no great anticipation on anything from them. Don’t see this one surviving and if they do its gonna be trimmed down and i would rebrand and name the studio
What the hell is this generation? I’d take Days gone over Horizon but seriously putside Asobi and Insomniac are any of the studios making anything? Is next year just gonna be remasters and the flop that will be havens game
Is horizon being ported to switch? Its on PS4, its already on PC. What more reason could there be? Also they could just say remaster one of the stranded PS3 series if they want to give new employees a training project to work on.
@IOI it was outsold by an annualized Sports game that most casuals mindlessly buy every year. It was never going to outsell that which probably sold 5+million on PS alone
I dont think the Uk and Europe itself is the best indicator anymore. Seems like many have checked out on gaming as a whole there. Sales have been demonstrably down since the start of PS4 for those territories
There still has been nothing from this bungie purchase. All they have done is eat at the profit margins and cause that stir in the ecosystem. They could have 10 individual studios and good sized games in development for single player at bungies headcount
Comes at a time when we are lucky to see 1 new single player from a 1st party studio in a generation and sony had been seemingly trying to turn more of their teams into live service games. Seriously though if they havent already fire the character designer
Is anyone playing this game? It had like 600 people on steam which already slashed in half. Expensive project for maybe a few thousand pc sales and few more on PS
Might not break 1000 on steam. The power of Day and date on PC!!! Also everything points to this thing being a brutal result. Wonder what happens to firewalk and Sony hopefully going full force down this path
The better it does in china/korea etc the better chance we get premium games from developers there. This gen has been completely reliant upon asian devs as western devs for the most part have plummetted and no longer make games for the actual playerbase
@WhiteRabbit what does it play like. Dark souls with levels or is it sekiro which is all parrying and no ways to grind? Busy with other stuff and replaying DS3 to walk my brother through his first time lol
Outside of kingdom come, their games are always bland, uninspired and frankly boring. Its a competitive market and if your games are as lackluster as embracers have been, yeah your gonna have a bad time
@RoomWithaMoose well there console is selling less and less, and getting further to maybe half a million per quarter. Add that with people less likely to upgrade to the next one with this news might do that. Their playerbase has already become pc and not the console

Re: Random: Internet Trolls Tried to Downgrade Our Silent Hill 2 PS5 Review Score
Everything about the game looks good. Sadly for it, its JRPG month for me and wont be getting to it anytime soon. Itll be a 2025 game for me
Re: Tencent, Guillemot Family Reportedly Considering Ubisoft Buyout
@somnambulance
You’re still buying their games? Save the money
Re: Tencent, Guillemot Family Reportedly Considering Ubisoft Buyout
Ubisoft needs to be cut in half atleast they have way too many people.
Games have continued getting worse and worse and this year in particular just undesirable to play. They are a sinking ship
Can’t wait for xbox podcast like defining Duke tho to say xbox should buy them lol.

Re: Report Finds Lack of Star Wars Outlaws Sales Disturbing
Small edit, taking Disney put the equation, its $49 million not $70 million due to Platform holder’s 30% standard.
Also just following industry’s advice. Don’t like it don’t buy it.
Seriously, Disney has butchered Star Wars Ip. Its relevance is also dead now

Re: Ubisoft 'Fully Mobilised' After Soft Star Wars Outlaws PS5 Sales
I remember the media was saying Outlaws sales were through the roof.
Also, outside quality, gamers are trained more than ever to not buy day 1 as they are always discounted extremely quickly.
Re: Ubisoft Backs Out of Tokyo Game Show at Eleventh Hour, Cancels Livestream

Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Sony's State of Play for September 2024?
Very big on the JRPG fix for me. Glad to finally see something from a big 1st party and cant wait for Ghost.
Also atleast the Horizon remaster is a $10 upgrade and not full price

Re: PS5's Astro Bot the USA's Second Best-Selling Game in Its First Week

Re: Astro Bot Update 1.003 Is Available to Download on PS5 Now
Just got the Platinum. Waiting to see if they add DLC. Great game but that final challenge run was frustrating
Re: Astro Bot PS5 Sales 'Aren't Huge' in UK, But There's Still Hope
I dont think the Uk and Europe itself is the best indicator anymore. Seems like many have checked out on gaming as a whole there. Sales have been demonstrably down since the start of PS4 for those territories

Re: Reaction: PlayStation Needs to Take a Long, Hard Look at Itself
