PlayStation 4 may just receive the decisive boost to secure the first spot among consoles from Japan, thanks to the onslaught of upcoming console exclusives.
NieR: Automata has received a surprise update, version 1.07, on the PS4, which appears to have resolved a major bug that has long troubled the game.
Which is great news nonetheless, the previous patch came out 7 years ago and no one expected the devs to fix the game anymore! I've actually played the game only recently on my PS5 thanks to backwards compatibility, and I was hit with constant crashes in a specific area, and I've seen a lot of players complaining about it too, so I think that's awesome for future players
I didn't say or imply it's bad news. I'm just annoyed someone made an article with a cryptic title so I revealed the pertinent info
Oh that's interesting! I played it last April for the first time on PS5 and suffered no crashes, but I played it on Switch and...yeah
It should have a PS5 version already. I hope they release it, physically though
Maybe, but it does coincide with the Stellar Blade collab Roadmap.
thats interesting so many years later. never encountered any crashes in my multiple playthroughs but great nonetheless for those affected.
Yeah it was mostly an issue for PS5 players and it popped up pretty recently because of a PS5 software update
That's excellent news that crashing happened to me at least 50 times while playing the game a few months ago before playing Stellar Blade almost a game ending bug for some people because you have to pass that area to beat the game and it just kept happening
"Thanks a lot for everything, truly".
For me, these Mario + Rabbids games were the best thing Ubisoft has developed in recent years. I'd hate to see Ubisoft drive the series into the ground like their other properties, so I think 2 games are enough. Maybe 1 more.
They can't ruin it because Ninty will send their ninjas to destroy all traces of it. If not for that you can bet that spinoff series would've been milked dry by now.
Great games, I have wanted Sony to copy these games with their own mascots for years.
I think Nintendo has to hire this guy, I mean the fact that miuamoto himself said to him that he is impressed with this work, speaks volumes. Th possibility on having Mario on Soliani's hand could be incredible and quite possibly a new era for Mario games.
Yea, these games didn't even feel Ubisoft at all. This felt very authentic Nintendo. This guy's direction is obviously stellar, and Ubisoft somehow managed to not kill it with microtransactions and repetitive, boring tasks.
Cultured Vultures: We’re going through the Nintendo Gamecube back catalog to find the games most deserving of a remake.
I remember when Microsoft tried to do something with Japan by hiring Sakaguchi. Not even that was enough...
Xbox will never break into Japan
With all the JRPG games that are coming this year. It will be the top current gen console in Japan all right.
FFXV alone will move over a million console there. And Persona 5 will definitely move big numbers too. This is an excellent year for the PS4.
No doubt the PS4 will sell like hotcakes once these games come out. I mean it's less than a million behind the Wii U in terms of overall sales and it came out a year later.
Wii U will still sell well over the next year with some of the games releasing, but clearly at this point the console market in Japan will shift to Sony at some point later this year.
Nintendo need not worry since the 3DS is still moving mountains.
Plus we may also see the NX later this year (who knows)
I think it's a difficult sort of thing. What has been in decline are traditional Japanese games, not games developed by Japanese companies (of sorts anyway). For example, the traditional JRPG's have all become more westernised with the active time battle systems instead of turn based. A lot of genres have moved to "realism" instead of fun.
But in any way, this lineup is looking brill. I chose the right console!
I think they can do it, looking forward to Ni No Kuni 2
