Hi all. I know it's easy to comment based on the title but I promise you that many of the things you're commenting here are addressed in the article.
Scalpers only account for about 15% of sales. And with the exception of GT7 being cross-gen, which is by most accounts, a recent decision, these cross-gen games were greenlit as cross-gen games long before scalpers became a problem.
And Miles Morales is proof that if a game doesn't sell well in its first weeks it stops selling. In fact, Sony just had their first sale and every PS5 only game was in the top 20 since launch.
It didn't stop Sony from doing that to PSone which had about 100 million sold going into PS2, and the same for PS2 going in to PS3 had roughly 80 million going into PS4. Didn't seem to hurt their business before. Why would it now?
People still play on last gen consoles for years into every next gen. When should they abandon them?
Hi. I'm the author. Never considered myself a journalist. Just a critic and commentator.
With that out of the way, the PS5 is selling more than the PS4 did in the same timeframe. PS4 didn't suffer one bit by not having next gen only first party games. In fact, all of them were next-gen only except for LBP3 and MLB The Show.
Additionally, like every gen previous, which I also address in the article, every single current gen only game that released...
As opposed to the three other times they did it? Didn't seem to hurt PS4 at all.
When PS2 launched while PSone had about 100 million installed.
PS3 launched with about the same amount of PS2 install base.
PS4 launched with roughly 80 million.
None of them launched with cross-gen first party titles except maybe MLB the show.
Supporting a console doesn't have to mean making cross-gen games. As their own history would show you.
PS5 is selling more than PS4 did in the same time frame. And most of these cross-gen decisions happened before the pandemic.
Read the article.
I'll sum up. Sony left the previous gen behind with PS2, PS3 and PS4. Didn't them at all.
As opposed to the "bring brained" rando who clearly didn't read the article in which this is talked about?
Great job!
All of this is correct.
I played and beat the game but if the save deletes as soon as you use it, not sure how that's much different than using rest mode.
Cool. Now people on PC can play awesome games like Bloodborne if they don't have a PS4/PS5.
In theory they can make Uncharted games that take place between the other stories or they can continue with Drake’s daughter. Or even with Sam, Chloe and Nadine. Lots of directions they can go.
That said, I highly doubt that Naughty Dog would be making it.
Good luck with that.
So every game should have an easy mode because there are too many good games out? Or are you saying for you it's a necessity so you can play more good games?
lol at the person who apparently sucks at these games and doesn't like being told that not every game is for them. Life is hard. No easy mode for that.
I know Insomniac has a pretty good track record for hitting dates but I don't believe any dates.
"Going gold" doesn't even mean as much anymore.
I'm all for games having an easy mode if the developer wants it to have one. If not, cool. If you need easy mode in a game that doesn't have one, such as Sekiro, then go play something else. Not every game needs to be for everyone.
I mention Sekiro because it really is the hardest of the From games because it doesn't have the options games like Demon's Souls, Dark Souls 1-3, and Bloodborne have to make them easier. Demon's Souls has magic (as do the Dark...
Thanks for reading. To be clear, as I said in the article, more accessible doesn’t mean it’s going to be easy and it’s still a From game. But the things I mentioned that they’ve added to this game, at least based on the CNT, does in fact make it more accessible than the previous games. I also mention right away that you have access to summoning help right away and never suggest that this will make the game easy.
I managed to kill Margit on my first attempt using magic and ...
