I wonder if the 'make up' content will only be for Steam, as those were the only ones affected..

Developer doing good by great game.

CBaoth4644d ago

I got the delicious demo of Hard Reset to gawk in the time being :D

StarWolf4644d ago

reason why console version is the way to go always. You never know what kind of crashes or bullshit you have to deal with on the PC. losing save data lawls, cmon bro, get on that PSN plus where it saves it in a cloud. bro

despair4644d ago (Edited 4644d ago )

yea because it happens SOO often right??? People like you really make all gamers look bad, taking one example that's the exception and prop it up like its the norm.

You know who else does that, those politicians who take one game and use it as the blueprint for all games saying they are corrupting the children etc.... hows it feel to be compared to those idiots?

Pro_TactX4644d ago

Steam has a cloud service as well, and it is free.

BlackKnight4644d ago (Edited 4644d ago )

Lol, because consoles never have games that crash or corrupt saves or have glitches.

And PSN cloud wont do a thing if the game has a bug the MAKES the save corrupt. All that means is the PSN cloud will have a back up of a corrupted save!

PS, Steam has cloud save games too...and free

duger4644d ago (Edited 4644d ago )

it's not like console version of games are error-free, neither consoles thereself. but when you making a game you are pretty sure that ALL users will be running EXACTLY same hardware/software, not running third-party software etc.. MS and Sony also puts a lot of effort to test'em against common issues - pc ports goes 'as they are' - and steam version of DI is best example of where such politics leads.

Jack_DangerousIy4642d ago

We get it. You love your PC... That's cool bro. Chill out.

Happy gaming.

wallis4644d ago

You're right. That way when the PSN goes down hackers from all over the world can enjoy your save games... and credit card details.

evrfighter4644d ago

in case you haven't heard.

steam has the premier cloud service.

and it's free.

Kran4644d ago

You know just because there's more PS3 players on N4G than PC/360 players doesnt mean they will be on your side all the time...

69,477
all-time peak 3 minutes ago.

thorstein7d ago

Nice. It's really cool that PC players get to play this masterpiece.

PrinceOfAnger7d ago

It has surpassed spider man now
it's 71k+
game did this with way shorter time than spider man.

itsmebryan6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

@prince
I'm confused. Does that number mean total players at one time playing like a snapshot
or total sales? If it's the former that's not very accurate because I know I'm not the only person that buys games and plays them later and that number is not included.

RNTody7d ago

Great, I loved this game. Definitely think it's Sucker Punch's best work to date!

rippermcrip7d ago

Is this going to be the new thing thing? Articles about Steam reviews? Which of course was in response to the false article about the review bombings in the first place.

Christopher7d ago

Hey, just a heads up that the new owners did open news to Steam updates, but we try our best to not allow them to go on daily updates unless relevant to some other news. I understand this isn't everyone's cup and tea and sympathize, but the door has been open. If you feel it's 'too much' please do PM me or submit a ticket to the mod team. Thank you.

shinoff21837d ago

I came here to post this link in that specific article. 84 perce t is pretty good. How many bad reviews were there like 5

GamerzElite7d ago

This is good game and Ghost eliminate all fake outrage.

CrimsonWing697d ago (Edited 7d ago )

I always get confused by this, but is 72k good sales numbers for a game? I keep seeing games fail at selling 2.5 million and that they need to be on multiple platforms but is an additional 72k adding much?

Fishy Fingers7d ago

Im not sure how its confusing :\

72k actively playing. Not 72k sold.

A good example is Helldivers 2, 6m sold, 450k (at its peak) active players.

But how many swords swung is what we're all really waiting for.

shinoff21837d ago

Lmao. How many swords swung. I was hoping for how many steps

wesnytsfs6d ago

And its how many years old from initial release.

Crows907d ago

72k is concurrent
...that is not the sold figure.

Michiel19897d ago

for one they already had a huge launch on the playstation, they don't need to sell 5m to make the porting to pc profitable and as pointed out below that number you see is just the people playing it at this moment.

Plague-Doctor277d ago (Edited 7d ago )

Also from the insomniac leak we know these PC ports are a quick turnaround and budgeted around $2-4 million. At 100k sales they break even including Steams cut. They may not sell millions but they are a great ROI

elazz7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

72k concurrent. That is a global number. People who bought the game are not playing at the same time because of timezones, working schedules, holidays, events... There is no good rule of thumb but you can extrapolate based on other games that also released sales data. Then it is clear that the PC release alone accounts for at least 500K copies sold on steam, maybe closer to 700-800K. Probably will sell over a million this extended weekend.

According to steamspy and other data gathering sites games like Days Gone, Spider Man, God Of War, Horizon Zero Dawn have sold 2 to 5 million copies on Steam. So I expect Ghost to reach similar numbers. Probably even surpass it.
