Definitely worth the full price

Jail time for you. You ruined many people’s jobs and livelihoods

Guess Halo couldn’t save it. I wonder why… 🤔

@SgtTruth leaks are basically unauthorized and illegal. Many claim that they have leaks of a product, but mostly, companies know they are false and don’t act upon it. When the company makes a claim, though, it means that somebody really screwed up and showed the real deal when it shouldn’t. Companies are within their rights to take down any video or article that may compromise an unreleased product.

@8bitOG I’m 33, thank you very much. And you’re the one not understanding. I have all consoles including PC. I can buy Rebirth on PS5 and be done with it. I’m speaking about people who played the first Remake on a platform that is not PS5, and SE forcing those players to dish up $570 to play the sequel, to then complain that sales were not as expected. SE created it’s own problem by alienating their PS4 players. Not everyone will buy the shiny new console just for one game. You said 50M PS5 sales? There are 130M PS4 in the wild. Do the math!!!

@8bitOG going by your same rhetoric, I don’t owe SE any money for putting Rebirth on an exclusive platform that most of their audience doesn’t have 🤷🏻‍♂️

@TruestoryYep my comment has nothing to do with games looking like switch games, but about the excessive amount of money spent on a game that is just all looks and no fun. Helldivers 2 is all about fun gameplay and not about photorealistic looks. The budget was probably a couple of dozen millions and they already recovered that and more. That’s why it’s massively successful. You completely missed my point.

@Jay767 Helldivers 2 would like a word with you. It’s the most popular game of the year and doesn’t look half as good as Rebirth 🤷🏻‍♂️

@Jay767 Playstation is a business. They are here to make money more than pleasing us. If they spend half a billion dollars in a game with all the bells and whistles and still flops, that’s not a good business for them. Look at Switch. Seemingly low budget games, and they still print money, even years after launch, like Mario Kart 8. That’s what Sony and MS are missing.

@Jay767 “45 dollars definitely not financial feasible for big Sony games which could cost upward to 300 million dollars to make.”
There it is. Sony and big AAA devs overspending for a single game is what creates this problem, not the price per game.

The majority of the Remake users played it on PS4. Rebirth is PS5 exclusive… Of course sales would be far less than expected 🤦🏻‍♂️

Not shocking. Remake was a cross gen game and sold really well. SE went up and decided to alienate the entire PS4 audience with Rebirth. So, of course the latter wouldn’t sell well 🤷🏻‍♂️ I debated about this last year and you flamed me for it.

Was it a surprise?

Don’t tell me… He’s going to Rome this time

@OneWingedAngel no point spitting facts to people who think are morally superior. they will never listen to arguments like yours

Could’ve hired the very model Eve was based on. Guess she charged too much 😕

Even if I care more about consistency, Sony pretty much promised 60fps on most of the ps5 games. We aren’t seeing that

@nomither6 if the game can’t be stable at any frame rate target, then there’s something wrong in the way it was made

I care more about fluidity. Stable 30 is way better than inconsistent 60. VRR is a good solution, but devs might get to get too comfortable to depend on it.

DD2 is essentially a western game, even if it was made by Capcom. It will obviously not sell as well as an authentically depicted Japanese game like Ronin

Hey, if Harada can’t do it, we can also ask Capcom 😂

@kappasig390 it was confirmed Troy Baker to be in the game

It’s Bioshock… in Space

PS5 Pro is not needed anytime soon. Devs need to start learning how to optimize games

@Ralizah Nintendo didn’t reinvent the handheld space. Phones did. The Vita launched when phone gaming was increasingly popular and the 3DS was struggling to sell. But Sony, with a device that was more powerful than phones those days, caved in instead of showing us what the Vita could really do. Nintendo just kept believing in the handheld space, despite people flocking to phones and tablets to play, and it paid off.

This proves that Sony made a huge mistake dropping support for the Vita way too soon. The Switch came and stole the entire handheld space when I thought that there should be competition.

@Czar_Khastik Gollum was GOTY material. It was robbed from any awards… Robbed I tell you!!!!!

The PSVR2 is more expensive than the actual console, and the Meta Quest 3 is cheaper and has more features. How didn’t Sony thought of this? Even making the headset compatible with PC, it won’t change a thing.

@Kiefer-Sutherland pikmin are based on ants…

@koverby every bug will be intentional 😂

Good for Saber. They are port masters and were heavily hindered by Embracer

“Naturally, [the PC specifications] are looking to be somewhat high.”
This means that the PC port will be a glitchy mess with performance issues, just like every Playstation-to-PC game when they launched.

Oh boy, I didn’t know this blew up so bad. Time to read, then…

My take is that WB just wants to get rid of DC. Crap comics that don’t sell, games nobody asked for, and uninspiring movies lead or co-lead by actual criminals. It’s not like WB is a pure evil company (Disney takes that cake). They have made bangers in HP and MK. But what they’ve done to the DC franchise is extremely unforgivable… Just sell the franchise to more capable hands, or let them go independent.

I thank 2k for saving the WWE games

Xbox made a huge mistake ending their partnership with Moon Studios over unproven work condition claims. I hope this game gives a big slap on MS’ face.

And then PEGI got Balatro removed prom PAL stores for BS reasons 🤦🏻‍♂️

@Friendly sorry to bother you again 🥹 you should check out Yoshi’s Crafted World and Pikmin 4

Mislabeled discs are gonna be sold on ebay like gold found in the pyramids

@ZhuckelDror what are they, then? assuming you work for Sony and definitely know

@Friendly PP Showtime is using UE4. The only Switch game that uses UE5 is Fortnite. But yeah, hopefully Nintendo can make other devs like GF use tried and true engines instead of that crap that they used for Pokemon SV

@NEStalgia “The industry is in trouble, but Sony's problem isn't an industry problem. It's a management problem that has become a product problem.”

The way I see it, the entire industry is in trouble, but Sony is like the microcosmos of what is happening everywhere else: Their big games not coming out, over acquiring studios just to lay people off the next day, over depending on third party exclusives, over incentivizing on games because they are too expensive and/or ambitious to make, forcing first party franchises go multiplatform, reliance on live service games, etc. The PS5 will do fine now and in the future, but Sony should focus more on their own studios instead of dishing out money outside of what they already have.

@ZhuckelDror LBP/Sackboy

My take is that devs and publishers should stop focusing so much on the following:

• Photorealistic graphics. That alone takes the most amount of their time and budget. Just for what?!? Crappy gameplay in return. Sony is extremely guilty on this with their “cinematic” games with boring gameplay. Nintendo takes it to the other extreme with great gameplay with crappy graphics. For me, there should be a balance of both. If devs want to make realistic graphics, making a movie might be cheaper.
• Games being unnecessary political. My motto is that video games are to have fun and escape from reality. Games that only focus on the political message do the exact opposite of that. What’s the point on playing a game where the purpose of it is not to entertain, but to lecture us for our ideals? That won’t sell, period. The latest Saint’s Row game is the best example of that. Games can be entertaining, have a great story and be political, like the FF VII games.
• Excessive micro transactions. I don’t even have to talk about it. Micro transactions work on mobile games and PC, not consoles.
• Making extremely long games. Most RPGs and open world games are guilty of this. Devs put excessive amount of content, side quests and clutter just to make the game “longer” and justify the full price. Newsflash! Only a single digit percent of gamers will fully complete a game. Devs waste time, money and manpower unnecessarily bloating a game with content 90% of players won’t even touch.

@Milt define “first party games in general”. I think you’re contradicting yourself or confusing the term with “third party exclusives”.

Is this why PS said that there won’t be any first party game in 2024?

Being 120fps should be another positive

@SoulsBourne128 the only way I see the JL returning is if Rocksteady completely ignore this game and make a full franchise reboot. SS really “killed” the hope I had for Rocksteady.

Gee… I wonder why 🙄
