@Ralizah "What's the Vita 2, or whatever it's called, gonna offer that a Steam Deck 2 wouldn't already?*

Being able to play our large PS4/PS5 libraries on the go plus buying just one copy and using it across the PS6 and PS6 portable 🙂

You said before you primarily play Steam games so this doesn't benefit you but for the rest of us who mostly use PlayStation hardware it's a dream come true!

I hope real resources didn't go into this completely pointless remaster 🙄 as you said the game already runs at 4K 60fps, might aswell remaster Astro Bot if they truly don't want touch that apparently icky PS3 catalog.

@OldGamer999 "I will stick with Sony and Switch then probably Switch 2."

At best Switch 2 will be as powerful as the base PS4 so you will definitely need either PS6 or PC to play all the latest AAA games like RE10, Cyberpunk 2, etc.

Even if you want to be charitable and maybe he got confused and it was actually $400 mil adding the cost of the studio it's still absolutely beyond the pale. If Hulst has the ability to feel shame he would resign immediately! he should go back to Guerrilla where he and the studio are better together.

"Firewalk is one of Sony's most expensive studios on a per-head basis"

You got to be kidding me!? The person that should pay the price is obviously Hulst, the developers are fine but Hulst saw this game in all it's glory 6 years into development and not only wanted the game but the studio. If he cared even a little about taking responsibility he would take a massive pay cut (he won't, probably ask for a raise instead).

We need remasters for PS3 games that are rotting away in that console! every PS5 owner can already play all these PS4 remasters which still look and run perfectly fine.

If the Pro wasn't limited edition I would go for it but I don't feeling like being in a rat race with scalpers and every one else, I remember the horror when the PS5 was hard to find.

Need at least two of those controllers! They look amazing can't believe they added the og colors to the buttons. It would also be nice if the could release the covers so we don't have to buy a whole other system.

"There's no overall balancing saying that each character is equally strong and you’ve got a fair fight"

Good! it would have ruined the game having fair fights say between Yamcha and Ultra Instinct Goku, this isn't a tournament game and that's fine.

The game also looks fantastic and seems to be the most realistic Dragon Ball game to date, plus they put GT content for those few of us who love the series 🙂

That's a very impressive base roster in true Tenkaichi tradition! will easily pass 200 characters with DLC, there's still lots of characters missing from the OG Dragon Ball and GT that I want to see but this is a good start 👏

If it had the original soundtrack intact it would have been a easy day one, the game was obviously low budget but at the end of the day I had a blast playing it. I'll get it later at a lower price or if they manage to patch the missing tracks I'll buy it immediately!

@UltimateOtaku91 "I'm going for a Gravity Rush Remaster, wasn't it shown during a Sony tech show?"

In that case that would be way more exciting than Horizon but still unnecessary! They should be remastering at least PS3 games that prisoners of the console like the Infamous, Killzone and Resistance games.

Why are they only remastering games that are already playable on the PS5 and look/run perfectly fine?

Looks fantastic! What's not fantastic is the price being almost the same as buying a new full game 😐

@Troubbble But nobody told them they had to censored it for Western audience, they internally in their home land of Japan choose to change a couple of things.

It's their game to change what they feel like, if they changed all the zombies into naked strippers it would again be their choice and us Westerners get to accept it or move on.

Now that he said they will make sure on day 1 to make the most sexual and offensive mods the Internet has ever seen! Poor Yoshi unintentionally just opened the gates of Hell 😅

@thefourfoldroot1 "They would have sold a couple million more copies globally if it had been PSVR2 compatible"

How would making it compatible to a platform with less life than the Vita (compare their first two years!) help the game?

"It’s just a second rate Astro Bot to anyone who played Astro Bot Rescue Mission I’m sorry to say."

You were going to say that regardless of the games quality just because it's not in VR! Could have been an 100% in metacritic and sold 10 mil and you would probably still consider it second rate trash 🤷

Haven't seen a still imagine and already know is sewer garbage, it might make a little more than Borderlands though 👍

Japan didn't understand the assignment but UK did, great job guys you came in with the save 🙌

Team ASOBI (aka Japan Studio's spirit) puts out a goty banger and the general public just doesn't care. I thought Japan of all regions would embrace Astro Bot and they probably would if it had a Nintendo logo on the cover 😒

Whoever's console that is you barely have any storage left, time to delete crap 😬 oh and I'm not even looking in PSVR's direction till at least one Sony studio is dedicated to making games for it!

It would have been a day 1 at $600, now I'll just wait at the slightest price decrease I can find. Also If I can trade my current PS5 in to Sony like Samsung does to it's phones and get a good chunk of money back I'll get it.

Well looks like Sony's strategy is working (if that's what they intended). They get to sell out the attachment while drumming up interest in the Pro and the regular PS5, yes they get some negative online reactions but they know internet outage doesn't last long

@UltimateOtaku91 I think it wouldn't even look that bad in the Switch, perhaps that's an image of an unreleased PS3 build? 😅

I'm trying to understand why they went with 2TB? If they had gone with 1TB it could have been $100 cheaper and we would be having a very positive conversation.

@LifeGirl "If the cast of Stellar Blade was on the front cover of this game then Concorde would right now be flying off the shelves."

Would it have sold better? Absolutely! But it still wouldn't be flying off the shelves as the game itself is boring, generic and very bland while doing nothing new.

If The Last of Us Online had come out and it was the cast of Concord on the cover the game would have flew off the shelves regardless, yes sexy sells but it can only take you so far you also need to be fun and engaging.

It would have still flopped but this would have definitely been an improvement! If they don't want to throw the whole thing away redesigning ALL the characters while making it F2P I think it can have a small dedicated audience.

Damn that's a beefy expensive boy! I will still get it even if my wallet stops talking to me 🥲

Day one for me! Of course It's not needed just like you don't need to buy the latest Apple & Samsung phone every year but it will be there for those that want it. Besides some current PS5 owners who like having the latest and strongest there's 70+ million potential PS4 owners who haven't upgraded yet.

Also they should be decreasing the price if we take into the account the terrible battery and stick drift. My two launch Dualsense last 10-12 minutes playing Astro Bot (I put a timer) and 30 with a regular game!

So basically we're being punished for Concord's failure 😑 I highly doubt this would have happened if Concord was breaking sales records, more reason to hate the game and lol if they think they can bring it back in any capacity.

@beltmenot Thats amazing, Astro Bot didn't get a single mix or negative review. I'm sure he saw that and it makes him bitter that his game wasn't as well received (it was a good game though). I do hope at some point Sony does greenlight a Days Gone 2 and keeps John far away 👍

So then he thinks his character is above and beyond Ellie, Joel, Kratos, Jin and Aloy as they were also "shilling" some small game? Also says the guy making a soulless NFT shovelware Game, loser 😒

I'm absolutely enjoying every second of it, I feel like I'm in the 90s again during simpler times. It's also very beautiful, it's not the most advanced graphics in the world but everything that's on screen is polished to perfection! Fantastic job Team ASOBI 💯

We know Sammy loves his live service games more than anyone, I mean actual live service games not this free pack in game that got free updates 😁

I did my part just waiting for tomorrow! I even bought the deluxe edition which I have never done before just so I can send Sony the message to send more of these type of games our way.

I would have played it even if it was a 3/10! Just patiently waiting for tomorrow, it will be one of the few games I buy on release day as it deserves all of my attention and money 💯

@LifeGirl If they are hot then all females by definition are hot 😅

Peach is completely covered by clothes only showing a bit of the arms and face. I do find Faith pretty but she's no model, she just looks like a regular Asian girl. Aloy had hate campaigns against her because gamers found her so unattractive, in the last game they complained she even had facil hair.

The discs for this game will never have any worth, you just have to look at the physical copies of Anthem which you can find for a $1 or sometimes free!

"but I've heard internal chatter is very positive about it."

So was internal chatter about Concord very negative? I'm going to guess it was also very positive otherwise Concord would have been cancelled two years ago and Firewalk wouldn't even be a PlayStation studio now.

@Dalejrfanfreak "Sony let DEI wokeness into their games and now nobody wants to buy them"

The sad part is your post sounds like sarcasm but it's not 😅

As I had said before Baldur's Gate 3 had pronouns (used in the way you guys hate) and more LGBTQ+ options than any other game. Did it go broke? No! it completely dominated last year in every field, no game came close. If a game is great people will buy it no matter how many thousands of pronouns or gay characters it has.

@puddinggirl That preview was done by Aaron Bayne, this article is by Sammy Barker. Are you suggesting everyone in the website must share the same brain? So that means Aaron & Sammy must like the same music, films and enjoy the same foods? 🤔

"criticised Fairgame$ – another title signed by Hulst."

Hulst needs to either take a pay cut to make up for the 200+ million (if we add what the studio cost and the game) hole he left PlayStation in or he needs to be demoted and possibly return to Guerrilla. If any of us failed this badly in our jobs we would be fired and blacklisted, he needs to take responsibility!!

So if they are refunding not only will this not have made a single cent but it will leave Sony in the red by 100-200 million, so they will try to get that money from somewhere meaning cuts and cancellations of games 😕

@DennisReynolds "They aren't getting new players and those it does have will jump soon"

They are jumping by the day, each day the 24 hour peek gets lower and lower. By Tuesday it should be sub 100, I have never seen this before at some point I would love a documentary about this game.

I hope all the ground floor devs keep their jobs as there is actual talent there seeing the graphics (not art style though), sound and gameplay more or less. The top people that were directing the game and making all the important decisions need to find a new home somewhere else.

I find the entire ordeal with Concord fascinating, I actually would like more articles covering the different aspects of how the project leads got it so wrong. Besides, these articles seem way more interesting and fun than playing the game.

@LifeGirl I can definitely see Astro Bot paying for itself and making a nice profit as it should! that being said you're expecting too much from little Astro if you think he will be able to fill that 100+ mil hole that Concord left 😅

@Dalejrfanfreak "Another woke title bites the dust."

Baldur's Gate 3 was "woke" and so was TLOU2, in Cyberpunk 2077 there was a trans character and you can make one... I think those games sold pretty well 🤔

Again woke is irrelevant and won't prevent a great game from dominating the charts. Concord was generic crap that would have flopped even if all the characters were sexy moaning bunny girls in thongs and high heels 🤷

@Ralizah " I was thinking the same thing. If even 10,000 people bought it on Steam... where are they?"

That's exactly what I'm wondering, every single day the 24 peak players has gotten lower and lower (I check everyday because I'm fascinated by this trainwreck lol). So where are these people, did they buy the game but got buyers remorse after the 2 hours refund period?

I legit would really love Jim Ryan's opinion or reaction to this situation. He's the one who went to Firewalk Studios, took a look at Concord (which was 6 years in) and probably shouted "this is incredible! Not only do we need this for PlayStation but we need you to be part of our family asap!!"
