Movies , music and everything else remake or redone .
Gaming tech can change so much in short time compare to other media .
Plus we not talking about only gfx but also controls , game design etc etc make more sense to remake and redo games.
PlayStation Studios |OT31| OT32 can have me, when it earns me (possibly cross-gen with OT31)

Going through the preview thread, with the high positive impressions I wonder if Ragnarok will take the record for most sales in 3 days for a Ps studio game.
Currently held by TLoU2 i believe.

Ragnarok is one of the only times sony bundles a First Party on day one with the console and it releases on both platforms, has a lot of hype around it, and sony have already said publicly they plan on shipping a lot of consoles for it's launch.
Its going to be a very big launch, and I wont be surprised at all if it does take that record.
Very possible , the only thing holding it back is PS5 hardware since people will want to play on PS5.
Still it will only be for a short while , Spidey 2 will destroy all of Sony records.
It was, and this is a move Thor does so spoiler:
Thor throwing Kratos to the ground.
and that wasnt shown by them iirc.
We'll see.
IF somehow Ragnarok would be under Part II, I highly assume they're not bragging "three days sales after launch a week later" PR tradition again. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
We already seen it with how no sales update of Forbidden West & GT7 up to this point.

The part just before was shared in a pic by them yesterday, but anyway the person is at next level of stupidity since they literally show their face with the footage, no more review for him in future.
Do you guys find it absolutely ridiculous how certain lore youtubers for big franchises never get early review copies for games but some random reviewer does? i always felt like the youtubers who put so much work and passion for years breaking down these games deserve codes before everyone so they can start making videos in advance breaking down easter eggs, references and so on.
It's not about your audience size, but how well connected you are. Direct access to a pr rep does wonders.
While that's true, a lot of PR and marketing are very in tune with these youtubers and some of these people have pretty decent followings. Heck some of them are even followed by multiple game devs and creative directors. Surely one of them could put in a word? A lot of PR folks also send out codes without even having any contact with these people.
Not some people. Most people. If I remember correctly, Microsoft gathered some really interesting data about BC and the interest of their audience for old games and the numbers were extremely low. The percentage of players actively using BC was around 6-7%. The number of people playing old games (older than 2010) was lower (below 5%, if I remember correctly).
Interest in BC and old games is extremely low. Forums with enthusiasts like Era make it seem like people really want and love old games, but it doesn't represent the general audience at all.
Even on here people don't actually play old games like that and the convo is always about what new games are being announced.
People aren't buying new hardware to play old games. I think many of the people who push for it wouldn't even use it themselves.
You sometimes get a novelty aspect like the SNES Mini or whatever, but they're a different audience. Most people don't even replay games.
To be fair, you will always have people complain. Even TLOU1 remake got some criticism for changing the vibe and looking "too clean", even though it was remade by the creators of the original.
Some people need to realize that a remake of a game can never be 100% faithful, because some art design decision or visuals of the time looked like they did due to technical restrictions or the way an engine rendered certain things. I remember Demon's Souls always having this weird yellow tint and that was due to the engine and the way the PS3 displayed the game. That is automatically gone in the remake, which benefits the game imo. But some people wanted it to look exactly the same.
For example: A lot of PS3 games had a weird grey-ish, yellow-ish tint to them, which I only noticed after going back and playing a few PS3 games on that console.
Id recommend removing search history on Youtube now for those worried about spoilers, as said clip is already up and about with a good amount of views and was already pushed to my feed twice (I've already read its content earlier, but a warning to everyone else).
Ive personally activated a spoiler block add on too. Hopefully it all works out right.

I also have a browser add-on on desktop which completely blocks certain words, so I'm good there. For the mobile and PS5 app, guess I'll just have to not use those.
Ugh, here we go again. I remember getting spoiled on GOW 2018 bosses in YouTube thumbnails / titles weeks before the game was out.
Most people dont even start the games they buy on sale! Im stubborn though, I go through all of mine and finish them (which is why Im glad I dont go for trophies, that'd drive me insane)
It is still amazing to me that the trophy for finishing The Last of Us Part 2 has a completion rate of 58.9%.
If only. 120 Hz Displays have been around for a long ass time and most budget TVs are still 60. 30 fps will always be the baseline, but widespread adoption would be great.
I think that the "small" number of PS5 consoles will limit its potential. I know that it also launchs in PS4, but first party cross gen titles seems to sell better on PS5 than on PS4.
That Preview Thread is something else ...
Idk why I even bother opening any of those threads.

If I had to guess i'd say someone found a preview that wasn't glowing and has decided that it's the one that should be discussed.
No, right now they are talking about "more of the same" and the fact that Ragnarok just doesn't feel like a big release 😵💫
Was wondering when Sony would start the big marketing campaign but it seems its starting now
More of the same, safe sequel, 60 metacritic, Sony DOOOOOOMMMMMEEEDDDDD!!!!!
Or something like that
Probably just that CGI trailer we got months ago, people have already reported seeing that on TV even a few weeks back.
Not much, just a few posts, 1 poster(?), saying it was disappointing Ragnarok didn't seem to be breaking ground the same way 2018 did and that Ragnarok feels like a direct-to-VHS sequel.
Lmao. Honestly, some people on Era have such a hate-boner when it comes to Sony it's ridiculous.
I wonder if they will respond similarly to Jedi: Survivor or Tears of the Kingdom. Both are sequels of solid and enjoyable games that will build upon their predecessors instead of reinventing the formula (doubt it).
I mean it's not like that preview thread is full of people shitting on ragnarok. It's just one or two users saying they wish it wasn't so similar to 2018 and then a lot MORE people reacting to those posts
I know they were shooting one, but has anyone reported that one actually be shown?
Someone said here that this trailer is not made by Sony and it's just for one country (idk which one) so i don't think we will see it
It's really only a few people and that is fine/normal. A couple hyperbolic posts (always will be, with literally any topic), yes, but why the need/bother to engage. This ain't TLoU Part I discourse by any means lol.
Not sure if this is official or fan art (I think it's fan art) but can't hurt to throw out this warning, but more spoilers other than the one talking about earlier today and yesterday might be out there. Someone discovered some ArtStation stuff from 4 months ago, again unclear if it's official and the person who made it fucked up by uploading early or if it's just fan art, but can't hurt to avoid that stuff for the new 3+ weeks.
I'm not gonna link it by the way, so don't ask.

lol it was the TLOU2 discourse that did me in. If some stray "too similar to 2018" comments is as bad as Ragnarok's discourse gets, then we're laughing
Oh I can imagine what it was like for TLoU2, I wasn't around on Era then but did see some of it on Reddit. Was just as I started looking into these current gen consoles (PC only prior).
In a bad day, I would also add Elden Ring which, if I'm mean, I can say is open world Dark Souls with a base gameplay philosophy that has been used since 2009 (it's my game of the year so far, btw).

Total blog posts: 16. That's more than twice than last week. Four of them were related to God of War. So yeah, seems that Sony is really heavily pushing that game. I wonder why. A lot of really interesting articles this week, too, so I'd give a couple of them a read if you have a lot of time on your hands!
Thanks, as always to JuanLatino for threadmarking these. Looking forward to what next week has in store!
