@Gamer83 I mean he's saying his source worked on the game and he seems confident in it. The Kotaku reporter has also corroborated the "toxic positivity" bit (not the budget).

Perhaps he's mistaken and the $400 million includes the purchase of the developer, too. But he explicitly states in the video that's not the case.

@UltimateOtaku91 While I understand your scepticism, it'd be unethical for him to name his source.

Let's see what else is reported.

@carlos82 Probably Monsters were funding them before Sony acquired the studio. Moriarty also says outsourcing was required to finish the game, which could have rocketed the cost.

But yes, it's still an extraordinarily high number being thrown around.

@Malaise Yeah, I want to know what this means for Hermen Hulst. Because if this was his baby, as reported, and he was selling higher-ups on this game being the future of PlayStation, only for this outcome... Like, geez! He must be in so much hot water I can't even begin to imagine.

I mean, assuming all this is true, this is just staggering information.

@johncalmc It was a genuinely good game but I think they’re toast. Even if they got a new project it’d take four or five years to make and they’d still be known as the “Concord developer”.

I wish everyone the best, but they will be closed IMO.

@Phelaidar Hermen Hulst was the one pushing for this game. He's currently CEO...

@DualWielding Yes! And a Platinum!

@R-Soub Enjoy!

@personauser93 Basically, it seems like they're selling.

@RBMango Allegedly.

@DennisReynolds It looks and plays fantastic on PS5. Even better than Horizon Zero Dawn!

@AK4tywill I tweaked the wording a little bit.

@CutchuSlow We don't know yet.

@wildcat_kickz Not yet!

@Romans12 Want to bet?

Oh my god!

@Henchdog Sorry about that, I've edited a few bits and fixed the typo in the intro you mentioned! Thanks for the heads-up!

@PaperAlien I was happy with the picture too, hahaha!

I wonder if this derails all the PS5 announcement plans or they just go ahead anyway.

It's pretty obvious Sony and Pocketpair were going to make a big deal out of the PlayStation version next week.

@HotGoomba Very good.

@Kingy Yeah it all applies to the original mode, too.

@Yousef- No review code so we just bought it in the end.

@Gamer83 Maybe they were running out of money and had to get some revenue coming in before patching it. Always a shame to get a bad first impression, though.

@Nepp67 Still a great game! But yeah, it's a real shame they couldn't get the soundtrack.

I'd maybe wait a few months, I'm confident they're going to patch the hell out of this and it'll be in a better place early next year.

@TheFakulty The idea is to get the quality mode running at 60fps.

@caiol92 As Mark Cerny himself said, 75% of players are choosing 60fps this generation. People want the smooth gameplay and the higher quality graphics. That's what PS5 Pro is designed to provide.

@InfidelFrigidstraigh Not sure what to tell you. The image quality is vastly superior. It's fair to debate whether the improvements are enough to warrant a $700 purchase, but they're absolutely there.

@darylb24 Probably a bit of both but the reality is you're going to seeing better image quality at 60fps on PS5 Pro than standard PS5.

This is what it's designed to do.

@Fiendish-Beaver Thanks, I fixed that!

That's a huge improvement, looks nice!

@Steel76 I wish I had as much time as you. My list of games to play is probably over 100 now.

@TrickyDicky99 Is that really true, though? Like do we have data to support that?

@tameshiyaku Sure. Apart from all the other original ideas.

I really loved all the artwork for Soul Sacrifice. It was horrible but very underrated.

@Orpheus79V Yeah, SEGA's been very good at this. Would like to see more of this from Sony if they have no intention to use the IPs. Let someone else!

@Yousef- It's popular but people act really weird around it, like it's being milked even though there's only two main games in the series and a VR spin-off.

Obviously, seemingly unnecessary remasters like this don't exactly help, though.

Maybe if it's free for existing owners...? Otherwise, I'm not really sure this makes sense.

@Nakatomi_Uk All your previous purchases work in Train Sim World 5.

@Icey664 Unfortunately we didn't get early access (no site did).

@Nakatomi_Uk The Dragon Quest games will have been on for two full years. They got added in October 2022 and will leave in October 2024.

Let's gooooooooooooo!

@BolkaRover You can, yes!

@Amnesiac It's a very cool route, I just don't like how the US trains drive personally. But that's a personal thing.

@IOI Astro Bot was never going to beat NBA 2K. We have to be realistic here.

@RubyCarbuncle If you think Nintendo Life isn't going to report on the Switch 2 day and night when it's revealed then I don't know what to tell you.

As they should, by the way!

@RubyCarbuncle Judging by the poll results, almost everyone here agrees with you.

@Cloud39472 I'm surprised people expect to visit a PlayStation website and not find articles about a new PlayStation console on it.

I personally hope Nintendo Life doesn't post about the Switch 2 when it's announced!

@Bigumamiflavor Astro Bot released like ten days ago!

I don't really like Funkos but a lot of the brands in this game appeals to me. I'll get it when it's heavily discounted.

@Weez No one got any code at all to my knowledge. PR didn’t even respond to requests.
