@daveofduncan Not for me since I didn't plan to continue my psplus subs, I only need the cloud save afterall. I guess I'll backup manually with usb stick monthly now π
@Frmknst It kind of worthless if the games isn't good, not because the game itself but because the type of game it is. Sport games are worthless because the fans bought it day one, and people that didn't like it won't buy (and play) it at all. Little nightmare 2 is good though, but it already discounted years ago.
@Bez87 I already subbed to psplus waay back in ps3 era, where they put uncharted 3 just a couple of month after the game launch, the service cost just $60 and I can find it cheaper in cdkeys. Don't forget psplus is just a glorified rental games service, and you can't choose the game you want to rental.
What more can they say, their game is flopping, either they turn around and make single player games (which playstation gamers expected from ps5) or their studio will be closed maybe next month.
I think jim ryan kind of f sony with his decision, and he does it not caring for the result because he's already retired. Go out with a bang saying the future of playstation is bright because surely they will be swimming in mtx money from focusing on 1st party multiplayer games rather than one and done games (single player) and get really nice bonus before exiting the company.
Already bought little nightmare 2 when it's discounted way back then, also not interested in both sport titles. This is not a good month, for $80 a year I expected more π
I think xbox itself want to get out to console race and become 3rd party publishers instead, and others publishers/developers realize that. Besides, the xbox audience already trained not to buy games because of gamepass, only big name games (like cod) that will sell on it.
That suck since visions of mana is a good game, maybe after black myth wukong success the chinese corps think they rather fund games from their own country rather than funding japanese devs.
$60 or I'll wait for a discount 1-2 year later. I don't have to play some games right now since I have a lot of backlog, on my pc, switch, and ps4/5.
When I bought games full price, it's more like to support the developers (like vanillaware with unicorn overlord and se with ff16 months ago) rather than needed to play the games right now.
It's a mystery why it fail, why don't people want to play hero shooter with characters such as granny, mushroom woman, template black woman with template afro hair, and lastly, a pronoun thrash robot. Surely it's a mystery I tell you.
@WhiteRabbit Let's just agree to disagree then, the sales will be the judge whether this game is a good remake or not. My prediction is the game will flop.
Refreshing, this what happen when a real gamer run gaming company, not making backlash against fans telling them racist or others "ist". Then western company wonders why their games isn't selling.
Steam is less strict than sony so I think there won't be censored drama like when the ps5 version arrive, what is sony thinking, promoting "uncensored in all country" advert and censor it anyways.
Looks great, I welcome our new (AAA) chinese and korea overlord lol.
But seriously though, the western AAA gaming company needs to change if they still want to compete, especially in the single player games genre. And japanese company reeally need to think if it's worth it to take an esg/dei loans if it means changing their games. Remember forspoken and soon, concord.
Also we need ps5 price cut, like, yesterday, where's the cheaper $300 ps5 super slim.
@WhiteRabbit Sigh, cmon man just be honest, one look at angela and you just know she's made for "modern audience". After decades gamers now really sensitive for games like this, just one looks and they know which game made for "modern audience".
Like I said, let the free market decide whether this game fails or not. Let's just hope the modern audience support this like they support concord lol.
@WhiteRabbit I don't have hope for any esg/dei/made for modern audience games but hey, maybe this game will defy fate and be million sellers lol.
Keep in mind that gamers only want the best for the game, they want accurate representation of the old game with the added benefit of new console power and gameplay improvement, if the game delivers, like resident evil 4, most gamers will buy it.
It's not because of malice that gamers want this to fails, it's frustations because gamers want better game that respect its origin rather than change it for modern audience. In the end, the free market will decide whether this game will fails or not.
@WhiteRabbit Nah, they will be heart broken, not for me though but for their silent hill 2 remake "modern audience" version not selling. I don't think I ever heard "modern audience" and "selling good" in one sentence lol.
Ff13 is the only final fantasy that I drop after playing it for 2-3 hours since I really don't like the characters, story, and the setting. I don't like mmo-lite ff like ff12, but I think I still prefer ff12 compared to ff13.
This is the worst playstation era for me, even ps3 isn't as bad as this, sure the first half of it kind of suck, but the others half is pretty good, with exclusives like mgs 4, uncharted 1-3, demon's souls, valkyria chronicles, etc.
But since there's no others option (switch can't run AAA games, xbox have no exclusive), ps5 become the default console I guess.
I saw the let's play of the game and it seems it looks like a worse version of resident evil 4, and the story is worse compared to the first game. I played the first game way back then on xbox 360 and I remembered the story is way more interesting compared to this sequels.
The first game reminds me of the horror movie "In the mouth of madness", about novels author that can change reality with his writing.
@LifeGirl Mainstream comics is a lost cause, and most of the movie industry too. Western gaming will have the same fate I think if they still follow the esg/dei route.
Of course, it's 2024 afterall, can't have that in games. And people wonder why games from korea and chinese are starting to beat the western/japanese games (like concord vs the first descendant).
Yup, after this game fail EA will take bioware to the back of the barn and finish it, like they finish other developers.
I know this game will fail after I looks the characters design, this type of design usually followed by the game failure in the market and the developer getting shutdown. Like saint row remake and concord.
Good, I always trust steam users reviews score compared to reviewers, it will be nice if there's users reviews on psn too.
@trev666 Yeah, it's really nice to see steam user reviews playtime so we know if the reviewers played the game seriously or not. Psn playtime is not too accurate compared to steam.
Not only the console but psplus too with the basic one cost $80, compared to $60 but usually people can find it cheap at $40 back then on ps3 & ps4 eraπ
The game is good but I already have it on steam, and since 2D games aged better, and it already have widescreen, I think it's not worth it to buy it again.
ps. Also I already have 100+ wishlisted games on steam, most of it is indie games, so I don't think I want to buy an old indie games that I already played.

Re: Suicide Squad Studio Hit with Layoffs After Poor Sales
Imagined if they make new single player batman trilogy open world games instead, it will sell millions, just like WB harry potter open world games.
Also what the QA teams had anything to do with the game sales?! They didn't made the game to be live service instead of single player games.
Why if some games flop western company like to fired people that didn't have anything to do with the games failing?
