The recent PlayStation commercial conjured up a whole bunch of memories, but will Sony ever hit those notes again?
Days Gone director claims Sony has already poured in at least a $250M in Bend's project; says Days Gone sold more than Death Stranding.
Well that sucks. Seems they want more online trash. I'd rather of had the sequel if it was single player
The past has nothing to do with the future. This is such a terrible argument. Everyone knows about their current live service push.
It's so tragic what happened to days gone. It is such an amazing game but bandwagoners trashed it and it underperformed in it's launch year. Days gone is the best open world zombie game released in the past five years. I was recently playing it on pc and I'm still amazed by it.
Games are very expensive to make and it seems like it's normal for a AAA game to cost over a quarter billion to make so if a quality game like days gone greatly underperforms then people shouldn't be upset when they see a lot of GAAS. I still remember a lot of bandwagoners calling days gone trash but years later it's now amazing when it's considered a failure by sony.
If a game isn't the best thing seen since hats with pockets then a lot of gamers who haven't played it automatically calls it rubbish and whoever made it should be incarcerated
It would be a shame if it was true that Hermen never gave the franchise a chance simply because he didn't like it and they already had a "Zombie" game with TLOU.
NaughtyDog are most likely moving onto a new IP next so it would have been the perfect time to do it.
4 years ago he was head of Playstation Studios. He would've probably had a hand in the cancelation.
Man two seconds of research could have saved you from this comment. Amazing work Grilla you fit in with the uniformed N4G community who speaks before verifying anything that they say.
Maybe encourage people to buy the game at full price and not when it's heavily discounted or go on plus. If this game had sold well when it was full priced a sequel would have been in the works. They made a single-player game that most people didn't support until they dropped the price.
Yep. Kind of weird since it wasn't a sales flop, no?
I know we have to take what Ross says with a grain of salt since we're hearing just one side of the story, but even so, the game wasn't bad at all. Heck, it's my brother's favorite last-gen game from what I recall.
The amount of zombies on screen, imagine that with the PS5 and SSD? That would be insanely fun!
Most copies were sold on sale. Not enough ppl bought it at full price. I paid 20$ for it 6 -7 months after release.
Yeah we should never believe the creators side until we hear the corporate/big business side as history has shown we should always believe billion dollar corporations.
What a bootlicker statement.
Oh great so we only get what the big wigs want… y’know, the people that really have their fingers on the pulse of what their consumers want. Faaaaantastic!
Well consider they know the sales... they do know what the consumer wants.
It sold shit.
Sand Land Review - Akira Toriyama's two decade old manga has received new life with a recent anime adaptation and now a video game as well.
Bliss Brain has announced that Princess Maker 2 Regeneration is being censored on PlayStation owing to changes demanded by Sony.
Complete BS. I hate their recent censorship crusade. I used to back Sony pretty heavily, but I am not cool with any censoring. Let art be the art it was intended to be. I'm an adult. I promise I can handle gore, boobs, cussing and anything else thrown my way. If Sony continues down this route, I seriously doubt I'll be purchasing their next console. Hell, it took me until just recently to buy a PS5... I bought PS1-PS4 pretty much the day they launched. I just don't like the direction Sony is going lately.
At the end of the day, you're speaking for yourself here. You make it sound like the policy is wrong because Snookies12 can handle boobs and gore.
In reality, I think you miss the point that the censorship is unnecessary because, well, there is such a thing as the ESRB. Sony or any company applying their own censorship policy is just redundant and adds a layer of needless oversight, regardless of whether people can "handle" the content, made much worse because it is applied asymmetrically. Ultimately, the ESRB will do its job in informing the public about content included in games generally. From there, it's up to the parents to decide whether their child can manage the content. Because really, in a society without children, I reckon ratings boards and censors would be out of jobs.
If they insist on this kind of silliness, if there is anything I've learned from Stellar Blade (and Steam games, apparently), all you have to do is:
(a) launch without any censorship and allow for an optional patch to be downloaded to censor it;
(b) Launch censored but allow for users/main console account to remove the day one patch;
or
(c) Do nothing. ESRB and caregivers can figure it out.
I'm partial to (c), but any kind of enforcement is just weak.
Apparently they are removing the 2 endings where you marry your father and your caretaker. And boob slider.
Reading that and seeing that thumbnail...do platform holders have to allow anything to be in a game?
They shouldn't. There should have to be some limits. And Sony may not want the trouble involved even if they aren't making the game themselves. News media would have a field day with it. And you know there's going to be someone who hates PlayStation that will contact the media and tell them about a game on the system where the anime girl gets big boobs and marries their adoptive father or butler. Which we have seen that butlers are like father figures too like in Batman.
And, apparently, we have Woody Allen's on N4G who don't mind at all.
"But but but I can handle it." Sony's going too far."
Sometimes, games go too far. Have some ever thought of that?
Sony: Stellar Blade can have sexualized outfit it's alright, The Last of Us Part 2 can have rape that's treated as romantic
Also Sony: Wait this game is Japanese, CENSOR IT RIGHT AWAY
Well I simply won't be buy the Playstation version then. How the hell Nintendo allows this but not Sony? I like Sony and all but I detest this censorship.
Whats up with IGN's videocasts lately?
Long. Live. Play.
New game reveals on the 14th I really don't see this being the case about 3 generations of top exclusives and considering PS4 is important to them why would they stop providing great content now....
The Glory Days are still coming.
Well that's just professional grade clickbait. Good pull, IGN.
