Threads of Fate available on PSN? Sure. | Geared for Gamers

How will publishers decide to roll games and DLC out when PlayStation Netowrk service is restored? They sure wouldn’t want to saturate the market, but then again a lot of people have been dying for some new content.

What are your thoughts? Do you want the entire backlog available on day one or should publishers re-evaluate the timing of releases that were impacted due to the outage?

Good game. Rather have a sequel though.

Well, when the store part of the PSN is restored, I'm hoping that everything that was supposed to have been released during the time the network was down will be on it. There are quite a few PSOne classics, DLC, and PSN games that I wanted to get.

In addition, all of the devs and publishers who were supposed to have their respective items released would likely want them available as soon as possible. So I don't really see any reason why they can't just have it updated, up-to-date when the store goes back up.

Hopefully, that will be the way things are when it goes back up. I guess only time will tell.

While it would be ideal for us ... realistically , as publisher or even small indie dev , would you want your stuff potentially drowned in a sea of dozens of titles released at the same time ?

I dunno about that

SoundGamer5155d ago

That would be understandable in a retail situation where the game is competing for shelf space among other things. However for digital releases, I would assume its much different.

You already have a large catalog of games to choose from on the store. I don't see why a publisher would want to postpone an already delayed release for fear it will be overshadowed by other games on the network.

I doubt it would be any more drowned out than if it was released at its regular time. Its not as if 200 games and digital downloads would be released at once. The PSN hasnt been down a year. Just a few weeks. So not THAT much stuff will be updated to the store.

Thats only what I assume though.

It would be nice if they had the lottery in other parts of the world as well.

I’m hoping Xbox Showcase will be where the Remake gets announced… freaking all this stuff with FF9’s anniversary and still nothing on the Remake…

If Capcom managed to turn things around, I’m hoping that Square can too!

Why do we think this is coming out on Switch 2 before Xbox? Any thoughts? The S2 is not more powerful than the Series S so it’s not a ‘lack of power’ issue. Perhaps the sales forecast is higher on S2 than Xbox so that’s maybe where their priority lies?

jznrpg48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

It’s definitely a sales issue. If Xbox didn’t have players used to GamePass I bet it would be there already.

The fact people will buy it. Xbox gamers generally have minimal interest in this series. Portable Final Fantasy will go down a storm in Japan where the switch sells huge numbers

Hamaguchi states not just the remake but the entire FF7 remake series.

The Switch 2 version is really beautiful. It looked as good as the PS5 version.
