Sega really should start considering what its customers actually want rather than what'll it thinks will get them the greatest short-term gain.
In a bold move to revamp its operations and reputation, Embracer Group has announced plans to divide into three distinct entities.
Embracer Group plans to release 70 game projects before March 31, 2025, with three "important unannounced titles" included in the release.
They may not have a plan to exit gaming. But give it time they will eventually sell off everything and fade away into nothing.
By the looks of it, PlayStation 5 exclusivity does not hurt the sales of Stellar Blade in Japan as the game has passed 90,000 sold physical copies.
Stellar Blade really deserves way more praise than it got, devs have been adding more and more content, for free, since release and the game already was great to begin with!
More than it got? It got tons, by everyone except the sad wankers who's idea of a sex life, is pulling on their dicks while watching big fake cgi titties 😂
I think we can safely claim that Stellar Blade 2 is confirmed!
I got it day one, i have some backlog due to RDR2 i just platinumed.. i will get to Stellar Blade in the near future
Capcom really dropped the ball with DG2. They had easy success on their hand but instead with their stupid decisions ruined the games success
Stellar blade is an amazing game and deserves all the success. For all the artificial hate it got from people who had no interest in the game to begin with this shows if you make a good game it will sell. The so called 1st party drought from PlayStation has meant 4 exclusives in 2024 so far. Other companies need to learn how to run a business and plan for the future
Stellar blade is performing very impressively there, DD2 didn't do well because word of mouth destroyed it's reputation and not about the Microtransactions or performance, bad word of mouth about how the game lacks so many things that were in the first one
Exclusives matter. No matter what bumbling phil and bond try to say, exclusives is why you buy a console.
They dropped the ball with dogma. SB is a solid game, it just had to weather the social storm.
Said that dd2 was missing things the first one did,like mass effect 2? I haven't played it so I'm really asking.
I've played both and I have no idea what people say when they claim it's "incomplete". I've only noticed new things in comparison to DD1 (I would give a list but spoilers). Sometimes I wonder if some people actually played DD1 or maybe they remember it differently. Anyways, if you liked the first one and want more of that, you'll probably like DD2.
Sega have always been a company with interesting ideas but god awful marketing and execution, it's a miracle they are still going at this point. They shoot themselves in the foot with almost every release they put out. They almost did the same with Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Just as the series finds a bigger audience in the west, they decide to change the gameplay style to turn based, a huge risk to the series that just about paid off.
It never seems to affect the companies they have acquired though like Creative Assembly and Atlus, they seem a lot more hands off with those studios and let them do their own thing, but games developed by Sega and Sonic Team always seem to come with major issues that stop games reaching their full potential.
There is a lot of talent and creativity at Sega, but it constantly feels like they are being held back by the company.
I just don't get why they can't get Sonic right and stay on a straight path with it
Sonic Mania was fantastic, from the old school level design, to the brand new zones, to even the soundtrack and despite all that they decide not to make a bigger sequel continuing on from Mania.
You have the Sonic Origins collection along with the laughable pre-order fiasco where some things are behind a paywall. Not to mention despite being a Origins collection they are missing some Sonic titles like Sonic Triple Trouble, Sonic Chaos and the like, they could have remade them and made them 16bit, it's not like it would be super hard.
They've never done a remaster or remake of Sonic Adventure / Sonic Adventure 2 despite being loved by fans, not even a sequel.
Yeah we’ve been asking for Sonic Adventure 3 for forever now. At this point at least remaster 1&2 for current gen.
