Console sales matter from a developer perspective however. Because gamepass subscriptions don't mean that much to a dev as they don't indicate sales potential. For a big budget AAA game made by a 3rd party which version you put the most attention into comes down to sales potential. Now each ps5 sold is a potential 60 or 70 pound purchase of their game. Whereas games pass release just represents a figure they will be paid by MS and the money available to pay devs is limited because it ...

No I think thebpoint is the xbox one was their biggest launch before this and look how that turned out.

Yeah there are a few like I'm sure the trophy for getting past the arrows without shutting them down wasn't in the original. You could do it however but it was almost a glitch lol

@P_Bomb on the original I believe it was +/-10 soul levels for invading and coop and went up to +/-20 soul levels over level 110. I suspect this will be somewhat similar.

He got it early aswell so given I have never heard of the site before and I've been on here and perusing most gaming sites for... more than a decade now either how did he get a review copy sent to him or how did he get someone to break the street date by what must be like a week....

I mean its very easy to offset your failing by claiming you have different competitors to the competition that is beating you....

Gamepass may well become a force to be reckoned with but it appears we are 5 years or so away from that and when that happens ps now might well be in a place to compete as it stands it is currently 8.99 you can play most ps4 exclusives and literally all ps3 exclusives and a hell of a lot of 3rd party games from ps3 era and others that cycle in an...

Erm demon souls? Erm gran turismo which is out first half of next year it would seem. Also if you listen to Jim sterling's interview he very very heavily suggests that games like miles morales were originally ps5 exclusive however due to the level of engagement people had with ps4 and they knew they would have stock shortages for a while it was ported and downgraded to run on ps4. If that is the case that is quite a difference. Also by the time Halo launches we will have had spiderman, bu...

@philm87 nah it was confirmed to be a second stock release. Sony had more stick for the UK. I think though it meant that there will definitely be none available on the day keep eyes open though the lockdown announcement will now likely mean that any stock planned to be on shelf on the day will now go up for preordained I expect. Plus people ordered inshore have to go pay by close of shop tomorrow most places if they want to pick unit up on its release date.

I mean most of their staff is working from home doing important meetings they'd probably usually do in person online etc. I'm such an environment i guess miscommunication can be an issue.

If the feature has a tangible effect on gameplay like this and people using it for quite awhile have been singing its praises going back to developers discussing it a year ago. It will be supported because clearly when you use it, you can really see how it adds to the experience.

Ps plus collection has that covered already.

Much more powerful? No by all accounts as expected in practice there is kittelllle discernable difference several developers have said that bow and it makes sense based on the hardware info we have.

Nah we started to see separation almost immediately. The ps4 hit 2 million in first 24hrs on sale technically if you account for the European launch and American launch as they were like this time a week apart. They sold all units they had in USA at launch then a week later they sold all units in Europe some 1.5 million. This lead to them breaking 2 million units faster than xbox. By Xmas xbox was being outsold 2:1 roughly already. I recall the ps4 sales announcement being in the region of 8 ...

They'll give numbers into the new year because I reckon both companies will sell all the consoles they manufacture until then. Its January onwards where it gets interesting when they start to catch up to demand . Given Sony have ratchet and clank, Horizon and Gran tourism it would appear in the first half of the year and the God of War presumably in seotember/October time not to mention whatever else they announce going beyond that. Advertising rights for Harry Potter game... all of whic...

Actually this is the 3rd or 4th study I've seen produce roughly this figure now. Has me wondering if it might well not be accurate.

@Michiel1989 no they didn't. Ff7 was exclusive to the ps1 because it needed the new disc format they were utilising and wouldn't have worked had it been using the game carts other companies were still using.
