So far, Stellar Blade shines in the boss battles. It's got the action down for the most part, which is half the battle. Here's hoping the full game improves as it goes along.
Shift Up's recent release, Stellar Blade, proves that not all PlayStation exclusives need huge sales figures to be successful.
That impossible to say without knowing each companies individual expectations. For example Arrowhead clearly had a set expectation for Helldivers 2 but the results were far beyond their expectations. Another exclusive for KT (Rise of the Ronin) became their best seller of all time. Was this their expectations? Who knows but I doubt it.
Stellar Blade did very well for a new IP that happened to be exclusive. Did i expect it to do this well? Not sure but what's more important is Shift Up's expectations.
It seems the Stellar Blade roadmap has been leaked via an internal presentation. It mentions Photo Mode coming in August and more.
Stellar Blade studio Shift Up has shared it estimates the PS5 exclusive has now sold more than one million units since its release in late April. The game has consistently ranked high in sales charts across the UK, USA, and Japan after the launch, which has resulted in today's milestone. In a press briefing, CFO Ahn Jae-woo said:
Sony has found a wealth of these outside studios who have all made awesome games wile they are going through a drought 1st party wise
Like they've done since 1993. Nothing new.
Sony Microsoft, Valve, Epic all rely on third party games.
This is very very true.
People don't realize (or purposely forget) that many of the games they think of when they think PlayStation were 2'nd party games published by PlayStation. Insomniac only recently became a PlayStation 1'st party for example, as well as early Naughty Dog games ect.
2'nd and 3'rd party games have always been the backbone of every single console generation.
Yes they all rely on 3rd party deals the difference is sony does it to give mies time to their 1st party studios. MS did it once during 360 and that was their most successful generation.
1972
Onpy during 360/ps3 exclusive battle became mainstream. That's these companies went out of their way to mention the word exclusive
Another PS5 exclusive banger. This makes 6 already this generation. Sony is on pace to out do their previous gen.
Nice! Sure buy! I dont need to play the demo.
Yes I haven't played the demo yet either. But I'm buying
