UK Charts: PS4 exclusives Yakuza and Dreams crack Top Ten

A collection of remastered Yakuza games was the biggest new physical release in the UK last week. Sega's PS4 exclusive debuted at No.3, behind the usual boxed chart toppers Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (No.2) and FIFA 20 (No.1).

Good to see Yakuza doing well!

Chaos_Order1548d ago

Seeing them behind FIFA 20 genuinely disappoints me.

gravedigger1548d ago (Edited 1548d ago )

It's FIFA in UK, you know. Especially FIFA sales will rise in next months because UK players wanna play Champions League with Man.City. At least on PS4 and Xbone:D

Anyway, Dreams with zero marketing and this is a retail charts only ( digital charts will be provided at the end of the month ), it did good, especially Yakuza. Man, i'm glad that Kiryu got some recognition.:D

Chaos_Order1548d ago

It's the fact FIFA 20 was released nearly 5 months ago and Yakuza + Dreams still can't overtake it on their opening week. I live in the UK and wish my country provided a better example. :/

Man City will be in Champions this season. Fighting for relegation in the next season.

Fifa is a good game. Its Fifa.

If someone makes a football game in Dreams...lol. that would be awesome. Come on awesome creators,...Do It!! I'd pay for it too.

Fifa is a behemoth in Europe so I wouldn't read much into it and Dreams is the type of game that can keep selling for a long time due to word of mouth wich I hope it happens because MM deserves it.

Dreams came out at the end of week, so, maybe that is the reason why is at 8th place. One thing to keep in mind is that Dreams has been on sale for a year via Early Access

elazz1548d ago

Got a digital copy myself on Friday. Didn't have the early access. Usually I buy a physical copy for non sale ps exclusives buf this one I felt differently towards. Wanted to have it tied to my account just in case they provide a commercial license later in the year

rainslacker1548d ago

While I much prefer physical games, something like this I am getting digital. It'll just be easier to pop in and do some stuff when I want.

IamTylerDurden11548d ago (Edited 1548d ago )

I agree. I typically prefer physical but i grabbed this digital in Early Access because it's the type of game that u want on your system all times. I expect Dreams to sell at least 2 to 1 digital and i know it won't do huge opening week numbers but rather sell consistently over time.

Dreams had virtually no marketing, but the game will market itself as more and more outstanding creations are made and shared on social media. Mm will continue to support the game with content and tool sets as well as VR and online mp updates. PS5 will definitely give it a boost as well.

I know trolls will scoff at the pedestrian numbers it achieves early on, but this game WILL have legs. It will also win a share of GotY awards and receive huge praise on the awards circuit as it is imo the most innovative and perhaps the most important game this gen. It's a 93 Opencritic, 91 Metacritic. I've played it since the closed beta. Dreams is a truly great game that will just continue to grow.

That and fifa is consistently on a massive discount saw it for barely £20 on switch last night. I’m from U.K I like Fifa but refused to buy it this year or last year I’ll just get it when next year comes out if at all, happy to be a year behind when it’s costs me £5-10 instead of £40-80 per year

Sono4211548d ago

Dreams Early Access actually launched in April, so not quite a year.

gravedigger1547d ago

Wow, dude. 2 months difference. I'm shocked.

What's the correct launch date of Early Access?

I like the idea of the developers that they wanted every console from sony from now on to come with dreams. I think that's the best fit for the game personally.

Vandamme211548d ago

They need to bring yakuza Kenzan and ishin to the west also

If there was one PC version that should have existed it’s Dreams

I’m super glad they will be going back to something more traditional gaming wise.

Cacabunga7d ago

I’m sure they’ll find something creative to implement like Tearaway on vita. What a gem 💎 that thing was!!!

Abear217d ago

My dream was DreamsVR and creating landscapes, characters, and sculptures using that amazing toolbox in vr, that would have been something imo.

Amplitude7d ago

It did but it came out as an update LONG after the game was essentially dead

P_Bomb7d ago

Dreams PC was the dream. Woulda given the game a much needed boost. Here’s hoping they follow it up well.

phoenixwing7d ago

If sony had any sense they'd be making a pc version pronto

mkis0077d ago

They probably ran into the same problem they did with the potential of last of us factions....the support needed was just too much to consider expanding to more platforms for a smallish studio.

Abnor_Mal7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

I use to say this when the game was first releasing, many kept saying it would not be possible, something about the toolsets.

I said this was one game that needed to be on as many platforms as possible, including PC and Xbox just like how Minecraft is everywhere.

Goodguy017d ago

Creation tools just don't work on console very well. It's definitely more suited for PC, and it's very odd Sony decided not to port it over. Good MM is working on an actual game instead.

Dreams Dev Media Molecule Says Layoffs Impact Planned Community and Curation Support

IGN writes: "Media Molecule has said the layoffs at the Sony-owned studio have affected plans for ongoing community and curation support in Dreams."

Inverno51d ago

How self sustained can DREAM be when it's basically stuck on PS4? I don't think it's even gotten a PS5 upgrade. Ending support for what is essentially a game making engine is basically death. SONY did DREAMS dirty.
