N4G Home Page Hiccup

Hi everyone.

During the site transition earlier today, a setting was altered regarding the trending results on the home page and trending in general and it is showing results from a much wider range of days than the usual 1 day.

The development team is working on a fix. For now, you can either view by latest or see articles by heat from https://n4g.com/?tab=hottes... .

We apologize for the hiccup and will get you back to the usual trending view you're used to soon.

Thank you,
Christopher

There also appeared some very old articles in pending, from several thousand days ago.

Christopher865d ago

Bruh, let's not age shame. (also, noted)

Nyxus865d ago

Sorry, I meant some very experienced articles.

shinoff2183865d ago

Yo lol. This had me cracking up

excaliburps865d ago

LOL! Those are legacy articles, mkay!?!

Mr_cheese865d ago

Got to say Christopher, you've been on the ball during this transition.

Well played

Right as PSVR2 reviews are coming off of embargo. This was a pretty important day for the future of VR gaming. :\

I trust you guys will have it fixed quickly though.

*edit - the launch day hype should fix that next week though and I'm sure it'll be working by then!

Stanjara865d ago

''important day for the future of VR'' ???

OMG... you are way too deep.

closed_account865d ago

VR is in a stagnant place right now, and the leading VR platform, Quest 2 has it stuck in a casual "Wii" style place. PSVR2 is important because it has the potential of vitalizing AAA VR studio investment.

I play PC VR, using a Quest 2 actually, but I can't deny that Sony brings possible bigger AAA investment IF it can take off greater than before. So yes, it is important for this reason.

I get it. You're not a VR gamer. Move along if my post bothers you.

KyRo865d ago

@Otter I think the point Stanjara was trying to make is that N4G has like 0.00000005% influence on VR being a success. If this site went down, we'd Google it. You made it sound like it was the be all and end all lol

N4Gs home page is nowhere near as fast as reporting news as it used to be and sometimes will even be days later. Tbh this site has become pretty late at reporting many things now. I guess it's a dip in users?

bunt-custardly865d ago

As someone who approves stories, there seems to be far less people doing this now than in previous years. Seems like people grew-up and no longer take notice or care about how many points they are earning, or how quick a news story gets posted. Blame the likes of Reddit and other SM platforms for this site's demise in that regard.

@christopher - perhaps the approvals process needs a revision. As in less approvals for news stories, than say for a review. With the age of some accounts here (mine included), you could give some of the older accounts here more power to approve things like media and news without the need for several people to deem it "newsworthy" before it gets approved.

Food for thought.

shinoff2183865d ago

I feel this site is pretty good about things , so a little hiccup isn't gonna hurt no one. Looking forward to the new and improved things coming.

Death Stranding 2 Beats Mario Kart World in UK Games Sales Charts

Tamagotchi Plaza debuts in a very low position while Death Stranding 2 soars in the UK games sales charts.

"“launch sales were ~66% lower than Death Stranding 1"

Maybe he'll put this franchise to rest now and do something new (which I know he is thankfully)

Not to hate if you enjoy these games but they weren’t for everyone and it puzzles me that he did a sequel rather than doing Physint next or even an actual P.T like game.

I just feel he's trying to make Death Stranding a thing, like as big as Metal Gear Solid and it's just not going to happen.

Flewid6386h ago

I'm about half way thru the first game and its definitely an acquired taste.

Cacabunga6h ago

Clearly not for everyone. I never tried it and it tells me absolutely nothing

P_Bomb5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

“Maybe he'll put this franchise to rest now and do something new”

He is making new things, so I don’t see what the problem is. Game reviewed better than the first. It has its fans and served its purpose.

At its core, it’s just not a very commercial game. Takes work, which might turn off casuals.

andy855h ago

Probably not, the sales won't be much lower than the first game. And its a critical success

neutralgamer19924h ago

Fox

It's selling well digitally you can't compare it to sales of ps4 game because even back than digital wasn't the be all end all like it is today now. With GTA6 delayed DS2 is the game to beat for GOTY

Fishy Fingers3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Split fiction and Clair Obscure already have it beat in critic scores.

So does Forza Horizon PS5 :/

I4622h ago

Geoff Keighley basically sucks off Kojima and Sony - so yes, it’ll probably be GOTY even though Expedition 33 is better

andy852h ago

Cant really compare those. Ones the best RPG since baldurs gate 3. Ones the next game from a game of the year studio and ones the best racing game on Xbox. To score 90 is still very, very good

Eonjay2h ago

This is the UK physical charts. This doesn't count digital at all which are the bulk of the sales and a much larger share than they would have been 6 years ago. For example, its the number one game on PSN.

I think he would be happy with your reaction. Remember, he stated that his goal was not to make a hit game loved by everyone. He would have been happy with 4/10 people liking it.

He is making what he wants to make... not what will be the biggest smash hit. He has stated this on MANY, MANY occations. And I think this is okay. I would rather people chase what they want to make as opposed to making money.

However, if you poke your head over on PSN... it looks like its selling just fine.

About the sequel, he ALREADY stated that even though he has a script for a potential DS3, it is not his intention to make another one directly.

andy852h ago

Literally this. And its massively improved over the first part. And its not sold badly at all

Exclusive vs Exclusive and a Mario game lost? There is still hope for humanity.

Lightning774h ago

If they released at the same time Im pretty sure Mario would still take number one.

Ganif5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

At least get the statement right, physical sales were down 66%, not total.

https://xcancel.com/Chris_D...

Obviously, digital is bigger part of the landscape than it was on PS4.

Digitally on the PlayStation store it is and has been the best selling retail game since prior to release, and still is today.

Also, the digital edition came with early access.

P_Bomb5h ago

My friends and I bought it digital. Truth be told, I haven’t bought a disc in years. Is what it is.
