The_Liquid_Laser said: MasonADC said: Big third parties games aren’t targeting just japan anymore. That explains why they aren’t on switch Yep. The few big third party games will be PS5 only or multiplat. Switch will get a version of everything else, either exclusive or multiplat. Switch will have most of the third party...

Famitsu Sales: Week 22, 2020 (May 25 - May 31)

in Sales Discussion 12 hours ago

MasonADC said: The_Liquid_Laser said: It's a gradual transition. You can look at the top 30 games that Marth just posted. Switch has 7 third party games and PS4 has 6. Switch already has a slight lead. That gap is only going to grow as PS4 gets phased out. And then the third parties will start making switch exclusives? Yeah I doubt it. Switch will...

Famitsu Sales: Week 18-19, 2020 (Apr 27 - May 10)

curl-6 said: So the hardware boost for PS4 wasn't very long-lived; 13k for the week ending May 10th according to the front page. Also, looks like some regular Switch stock finally made it down the pipeline; 3:1 ratio over the Lite. I think 10 weeks is very long lived. The console has been steady to up YOY since the beginning of March. At its low point the console was...

Unreal 5 Demo vs Series X Reveal

in Gaming Discussion on 14 May 2020

Unreal demo is still trending #1 with close to 6 million views in under 24 hours. Sony just seems to reaching a larger number with its small reveals. Its pretty evident, to me at least, that as Sony looks to expand its catalog to the PC, its premier partner will be Epic. I wouldn't be surprised if they announced some kind of partnership for the PS5. Also it seems that it'll be easier for Sony to...

Unreal Engine 5 Announced + PS5 Demo

RolStoppable said: chakkra said: MS absolutely dropped the ball by not showing this at their event. I mean, most of their studios actually use the Unreal Engine for their games. I always assumed that they had some kind of deal with Epic. True, at least as far as initial reactions are concerned. But after a while everyone is going to realize that the unimpressive third...

So... RIP "Sony Interactive Entertainment Presents" I guess?

Blood_Tears said: Train wreck said: Its not confirmed because its not true. Sony doesn't have exclusivity on the MLB license. MLB has its own videogame arm called MLB Advanced Media that publishes the R.B.I Baseball set of games. MLBAM was created due to the fact that no 3rd party developer (EA/2k) would pick up the MLB license after 2K ended its baseball license...

So... RIP "Sony Interactive Entertainment Presents" I guess?

shikamaru317 said: So, I was just analyzing (or more likely over-analyzing) the new Playstation Studios animation. Several things caught my attention: All of the Sony's AAA 1st party studios are represented in the animation except for Sucker Punch and Bend. Could mean nothing, but could also mean something that those 2 are missing. For Sucker Punch, could mean that Infamous is well and...

shikamaru317 said: Sogreblute said: And they said it will be used for Playstation games that are also on other platforms. That means more PC ports. While I am expecting more PC ports than just Horizon, that could mainly be referring to MLB The Show. Starting with MLB The Show 21, the series is going multiplat, will be releasing on Xbox and Switch as well. Rumor is that MLB...

LatiosGames said: kenjab said: People have been begging for a PS4 price cut for years now, and it makes less sense to do it now than ever. Why lower the price now when it's still selling, and they can't possibly meet increased demand during the pandemic? I just checked a number of online retailers (US based) and the PS4 is sold out everywhere I've seen, unless you want...

Nintendo banned Square from their offices for 10 years after FFVII went to PlayStation. EDIT: japanese business model is akin to Yakuza

There's nothing ethically questionable about choosing not to do business anymore with a company that insists on dictating their own terms and instead doing business with a company that gives you more respect/freedom. There was no "betrayal", they didn't "owe" Nintendo anything. square and...

Famitsu Sales: W7, 2020 (Feb 10 - Feb 16)

in Sales Discussion on 23 February 2020

curl-6 said: Eek, those Tokyo Mirage Session sales. A rerelease pretty much nobody asked for of a game pretty much nobody wanted in the first place. Not looking too good for SF5 Championship Edition either. Those who have Street Fighter V (shipments at 4.1 million) can upgrade using the in store kit for 24.99, it would be kind of odd for them to pay more for the full game they...

Metacritic best game of the decade according to the critics: The Legend Of Zelda BOTW

in Gaming Discussion on 11 January 2020

I think this thread is an odd way of saying you're surprised that a game, that has 30 years worth of history, has some of the highest critic scores and is achieving its best sales for the franchise is being beat by a new IP that is universally acclaimed by the users who played it. It happens, just accept it and move on. ...
