Grasshopper Manufacture's Shadows of the Damned returns this year with a remaster, and Hardcore Gamer got to talk with Suda51 about it, among other things...
Game industry working conditions are improving, but occupational burnout still runs amok. Studios and workers have the power to slow it down.
Quite being abusive to the workers and hold management accountable.
The acclaimed open world action RPG is "underperforming" where its sales are concerned, according to industry analyst Daniel Ahmad.
“Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Has Reportedly Sold About Half of What FF7 Remake Did in the Same Timeframe”
Makes sense to me since the current PS5 base is about half of what the PS4 base was when FFVII Remake released.
There were about 113 million PS4’s in consumers hands worldwide in 2020 when FFVII Remake was released (towards the beginning of COVID lockdown no less).
PS5 sales currently sits at about half of that (50-something million. We are not in COVID lockdown so many people are not as bored as they were 4 years ago and not in a rush to buy every video game coming out at release. Some PS4 owners may not have upgraded to PS5 yet and therefore can’t buy the sequel yet. And, of course, some who played Remake just might not be interested in Rebirth.
It just seems pretty disingenuous for an analyst to ‘analyze’ a situation when there are so many mitigating and unequal factors involved.
Unfortunate but it's the reality of sequels. And I simply just don't hear much people talk about rebirth and even remake as these titles just seem too hard to get into with many newcomers and old fans that are upset with the many changes.
well, according to some other reports, it had 2.1 mio. players in the first week.
so, who to believe now.
Now that is a lot of money. Kinda reminds me of when the PS3 first launched. But me been a HUGE MGS fan, I will probably bite or wait and see if it comes overseas.
I would only pay that price if it was the original 60G hardware infrastructure with a 80G+ hard drive.
That's a rediculous asking price by game-asia.
Just wait til' it gets to the US, although I think they might launch the white PS3 around MGS4 release.
At least there's free shipping haha..but I guess the price isn't bad for a diehard MGS fan. Personally I think the gunmetal color is cool for the occasion, but I wouldn't want my console to be permanently that color.
Wow, thats a lot of money, but I am sure for the die hard it is something they will not mind buying.
another misleading title
