Still not willing to bite unless I see Sony announce at least one first party game for it! $350 is still allot for something that has been mostly abandoned, maybe if it keeps selling that will change... probably not.
@naruball Do you also like the Hercules show? Even though the guy that played him is missing a few screws now back then they use to go hard with Xena and Hercules back to back.
Man they really maxed out every single inch of UE4, this looks better than some UE5 games I've seen so it really all depends on the talent of the studio. That aside it does looks fantastic! Well the guest characters are an odd bunch 😅
"In case you don't already have enough Persona in your life"
I'm pretty tapped out actually 🤷 the series doesn't feel as special as before, it's been pratically ported to every system in this reality and there's like 15 spin offs of P5 alone.
The Concord trailer actually had me interested in the world until eventually it was revealed to be live service Overwatch nonsense! It made the characters seem to have more personality than they will actually have.
Perhaps we will all be wrong and it will be the next Helldivers 2, I will come in here and apologize but that's very unlikely unless they show something drastic or that there's more meat to the bones.
I'm guessing they are seeing some kind of profit otherwise it would make no sense although someone mentioned that WB usually likes doing what makes no sense 🤷
So it's a classic Ubisoft game then. Like all of their games it will be more than half off in 2-3 months and be fully patched so it makes no sense to buy it on release other than you have no patience.
@Atreus97 Like some have mentioned Sony has ips that would actually translate perfectly to live service, no one here would have anything negative to say if they announced a live service Socom game. That would be amazing, but they seem to think a live service game has to be a new ip or go to hell 😐
"The problem for Concord is that many PlayStation fans have had their pitchforks out for the project since the start"
Well that doesn't apply to the PC gamers, they don't care either way they just want to play fun games regardless of who makes it. But yeah this game looks like it's going to bomb like Destruction Allstars, if you had forgotten that game existed well you're not alone.
They really have a whole toy box to choose from, can't believe they haven't added one of their most popular IPs in Harry Potter. Sadly though the hype has died down again, you really are gambling with money trying to enter the crowded live service rat race.
@UltimateOtaku91 "I will get the game on release and play as much as I can in the first few months just in case it dies off."
If you're not even optimistic about it's future than the game is more screwed than I thought 😅 the game does look very polished and nothing looks bad but we'll see if it will be successful without it having to do something original.
@DennisReynolds "Two F2P games just launched this week to great numbers."
Most F2P games launch to good/great numbers, it has to be a bum ass game to not have a decent launch. The problem is the player base starts to fade in a couple of months and the game is dead by the end of the year. Don't make me name all the games that this has happened to, I don't want to make a thesis long post.
@jrt87 "Now you have the hardcore crowd who claim there doesn't need to be any choice"
Who's making that argument for games that aren't made by Fromsoft? I haven't seeing anyone say GOW Ragnarok needed to be one hard more and that's it. Now if Hidetaka Miyazaki adds a slider to Fromsoft games because he wants to then fine, what I don't want is him being shamed into adding difficulty modes.
@UltimateOtaku91 "Nice to see devs make their game cater to anyone, take notes FromSoftware"
Or we can let devs make the games they wanna make? This is what BioWare wants in their game so they have every right to make it this way, I would be screaming at anyone telling them to make it Souls-like!
So in short let BioWare, Miyamoto, Kojima, etc cook the way they want to cook. That also applies to Hidetaka Miyazaki, let the man make the games that bring him happiness (in turn also makes Souls fans happy).
@pyrrhic_victory Nah Ethan Winters was a certified beast! It was nice having a sort of silent protagonist which was a nice change of pace from the other games. His story wrapped up beautifully in the dlc so now it's time for new batch of new (or OG 🤔) faces!
I'm not picky about Resident Evil so I'll happily buy day one a first person or third person RE game! I'm still hoping for a RE5 or Veronica remake by early next year 🤞
Too busy making hundreds of Marvel games 😐just like the public stopped caring about Super hero movies the same will happen to games at this rate. As for Sunset Overdrive I want to play it, it looks fun and colorful maybe someone else can port it.
@ChrisDeku "Sony liked this game so much they bought the whole studio during development. I tend to put some value on that."
Well they also bought Jade Raymond's studio and she didn't even have a screenshot to show. All these studios (Firewalk, Bungie, Haven) were bought around the same time when Jim woke up one day and decided that it need to have more live service games or die trying!
If the PS2 emulator is this awful I should completely forget about a PS3 emulator as it would probably melt my PS5. Like the top comment mentioned why not hire emulator enthusiasts who would do a better job? Also PCSX2 runs on series X/S so they have a better PS2 emulator than PlayStation 😒
I believe in second chances and hearing redemption stories... except when it comes to crimes against minors! he can respectfully take a long walk off a short pier 😒
Make it happen Sony! Playing PS3 on the cloud is not good enough (for now). If the RPCS3 guys can get most of the PS3 Library working perfectly on hardware much weaker than the PS5 then Sony should be able to.
I'll take as many alternatives to Nintendo franchises as I can get so bring it over! I would also love for Sumo Digital to make another Sonic racing, a sequel to Sonic Transformed if is not too much trouble 🤞 (I would settle for remasters)
@LifeGirl "a dev should be allowed to make the game that he chooses"
I definitely agree with your statement here but I'm not sure you completely agree with it 😅 you were saying something else in many articles about the new Tomb Raider game, so you fully support whatever direction they take their game? 🧐
Not every game is going to appeal to everyone and that's okay. I would love a Mature rated Zelda game, am I going to scream at Miyamoto because he's not making the game I would like? He developes the games that make him happy and Miyazaki is allowed to do the same (in turn also making the fans happy).
@get2sammyb I don't remember seeing you complain about Horizon 2 being the opposite of a Fromsoft game? that game was constantly holding your hand and solving the puzzles for the player? All that was missing was the game playing itself and the player just watching 🙁
Fromsoft prides itself on making difficult games and it looks like the dlc does just that! Not sure what Steam players were hoping but yeah this is like going to see a horror movie and being mad that it scared you.
I would think the Switch version would have no trouble doing 60fps so if the performance mode for PS5 isn't for 120fps then something has gone wrong, maybe they have to rush for a deadline or something.
@Cherip-the-Ripper "the lack of sales reports on it speaks for it self."
You're in the super minority, the game is universally acclaimed plus 7 million on a single platform is in no way bad. Capcom recently celebrated Resident Evil 4 remake selling 7 million and that's on 6 platforms!
@rawzeku I agree with you however if Sony were to give the greenlight and Hidetaka is fully on board to direct then yeah let's go! otherwise a nice 4K 60fps remaster should do the trick.
@Fishmasterflex96 "least proved they could be capable of maybe making a bloodbourne 2"
By themselves, without Hidetaka Miyazaki? I don't want it then 😅 it wouldn't really be Bloodborne just like I would consider MGS6 illegitimate without Kojima. Now if they took the role of co-developers with Fromsoft then yeah day one!
@man_what "am i the only person on earth who felt like demons souls remake was technically beautiful but polished all of the "soul" (lol) out of the game??"
Probably 😅 I played both at launch and the remake was a very accurate presentation of the original, not sure what you found wrong with it. They left the game completely intact almost to a fault, it's just a really pretty version of that. If you can explain what was the "soul" they took out?
Could it be perhaps mental? What I mean is since you know it wasn't Fromsoft who made it perhaps you feel they weren't there to put their special in house sauce. That shouldn't be the case because it was co-developed with the great Japan Studio who co-developed the original (along with Bloodborne!).
And yet is still more powerful than the Switch 🤷 They really should have released it on PS4 and Xbox if they wanted as much sales as possible like they said.
Are you kidding me they just casually bring MVC2 like it's no big deal 😳 this is the biggest day one of the year for me! Any one of these games sold by themselves would be huge, thanks Capcom!
@WhiteRabbit It has been sold out for months so who exactly was saying that? I'm personally not interested but I want it to succeed incredibly so Sony can follow it up with a PSP2.
Well... that changes everything! You're forgiven Microsoft perhaps we were to harsh 🥺 yeah you now own all their ips and can make sequels whenever you want while they rot in the unemployment line but they had freaking Pizza-la!!
@UntilRespawn I also hate leaks but if they do happen curiosity gets the better of some of us. Even in this early stage we can see the structure and how the world will operate, sort of. Honestly it looks like Spider-Man 2 with Wolverine swapped in 😅 it's early I know let's see if we get a trailer by the end of the year.
@PuppetMaster "It's obvious Sony wants to moved on from PS4 and fully focus their production and marketing for PS5."
Many of us wanted them to move on from the PS4 so they could take full advantage of the PS5's power! That's not happening here, if is running on the potato that's Switch then they could probably make a PS3 version as well.
James Windeler said "We're trying to bring as broad an audience as possible to this game and to the franchise" if that's the case it should come out on everything unless of course he's a giant liar which is the most likely scenario.

Re: Concord's Free Open Beta Is Performing Abysmally on PC
