I don't see how Shadows has only sold 2.5m :/

Okay PS5 SKU only? 

PS5 SKU only yes, if the report is accurate. 

I read in another forum many people posting that this person is not accurate at all. But I have no knowledge on their data accuracy myself.

Rumor says Yotei has sold 2.5 million copies and in 3 weeks it already outsold AC Shadows (released 6 months ago, broke records of the franchise on the PS Store) on PS5.

The report comes from Alinea Analytics.

Yes only PS5 sales, either way AC Shadows did good in a make or break moment for Ubisoft. 



Sony has no interest in buying Warner Bros Discovery.

I know owning Warner could be big business but as a fan I have no interest in Sony wasting money making even more live action movies lol and the only IPs not videogame related I care about Warner are Harry Potter and Batman/Batman Beyond so this is good news to me lol.

An animated Batman Beyond movie by the Spiderverse crew would be orgasmic, though.

It totally would, fucking Warner can't believe they rejected the project from the people behind Spider-verse pitched last year.

I'm playing Alan Wake 2 atm.

I'm back with Saga again. My quick impressions are this:
1. Vibe and atmosphere is very cool. It's mainly what's keeping me engaged.
2. Graphics are very good, some of the forest scenes in the beginning looked real.
3. Sound and audio in general is great.

However:
4. I find Saga's VO direction to be strange: whether she is internal monologuing, talking to herself, or in convo with another person she always sounds the same: as if she is internal monologuing. It's very weird when she's having a convo, but the inflection in her voice doesn't suggest that she is. Not sure if this is meant to be some late-game twist or not.
5. The crime scene board: honestly, just a useless feature. It sounds cool on paper, and I get the execution reasons. But it's just a waste of time imho.
6. Alan's version of the board is even more pointless, but at least you interact with it far less. The main function of using it is no different to the light source mechanic in actual moment-to-moment gameplay, which makes me wonder why it's treated as 2 different things.
7. I find Alan's sequences to be kinda confusing to get through: the signposting on where to go and what to do is not very intuitive imho.


Otherwise, I am enjoying the game and look forward to seeing more connections with Control. But I don't think it's a great game at all.



It's time for PlayStation All Stars 2. Now that all Xbox games are on PS5.



Lou Lan looks really good, it looks like it's from the Convallaria generation. I wish Sony could publish more smaller games from the China Hero Project.

Funny enough in the 12 years after the release of PS All Stars, PlayStation has released a good bunch of their most iconic franchises so it wouldn't be necessary to have guest characters like freaking Heihachi lol.

Character that should be added are Astro from Astro Bot, Aloy from Horizon, The Hunter from Bloodborne, Joel and Ellie from TLOU, Jin Sakai and Atsu from Ghost, Peter and Miles from Spider-Man, Selene from Returnal, Cayde-6 from Destiny, Helldiver from Helldivers and Norse Kratos + Atreus from Norse GOW. If we are talking second party then William from Nioh, The Blade Twins from Rise of the Ronin, Eve from Stellar Blade and Sam Bridges from Death Stranding.

Alinea Analytics has estimated GoY to have outsold AC: Shadows on the PS5 platform?

Its safe to say that Yotei has not outsold AC lol.
