ayo since when the fuck have fromsoft been passionate about multiplayer? they had 5 games using the same dumb shitty online mechanics and they couldn't even get it to work right. thank god they removed it from sekiro, shit was awful
couldn't even fix it with dark souls 3 goddamn 😂😂😩

I know I'm late, but the slide mentioning PS4 being the main driver of profitability for the next 3 years has me excited now about what PS5 actually is. It might be a savage beast.
I loved the tone of Resistance 3. It felt like a last hurrah of a dying, defeated humanity. I never really bought into their attempts at a grand theatre of war in the other games. Capelli felt like a downtrodden everyman who needed to do this not to save the world, but to save his family.
Yeah, I loved the co-op. It was a ton of fun. I enjoyed the campaign as well, but on balance it was the weakest of the three IMO.
This sounds like something David Cage would write.
Would this be his first platinum? I remember him saying ages ago that he didn't have one and he was trying to attain one fairly.
I think I've got about 14 Platinums:
Uncharted 2
Assassin's Creed 2
Demon's Souls
Jak & Daxter
Dragon's Dogma
The Walking Dead
A Wolf Among Us
Super Exploding Zoo
Resistance: Burning Skies (just by completing the game normally you get about 80% of trophies)
Tales from the Borderlands
Tearaway
Gravity Rush Remastered
Spider-Man
Bloodborne
Tacoma
Lara Croft Go
I think that's all of them. I'm close on a bunch of others but honestly unlikely to go back to finish any of the up. I wanted Horizon and God of War, but the last things are mostly collectibles which I can't be bothered going back for.
Yeah Sony might give us a $500 machine that's plenty capable. If selling as many hardware units as possible isn't the goal then releasing it at that price point should be doable. Then 2 years inthey can release it to more mass market prices.
They are talking about profitability, not revenue. Them saying that ps4 will be the main profit source means, they will be selling the PS5 at a loss (which is obvious looking at previous generations).
So it's the exact opposite to your assumption: the goal might be to sell as many ps5 as possible. But the more they sell, the bigger the loss, so ps4 has to bring in the profit.
hmmm is a future Uncharted without Nathan Drake the same as a Tomb Raider without Lara Croft? (Not talking about expansions and spinoffs of course but mainline series.)
Well it doesn't matter either way since Sony shouldn't be wasting their time with this debacle, they should use the said effort to fund a new Ape Escape instead.

I would also assume making games that cost the same or more as their first party PS4 games but now for an addressable install base of 5 million for the first while is going to be a drop in ROI.
Yeah and thanks to Horizon, Gaming segment had the best Q4 profits ever (before Q4 2018)
Lol careful you're gonna set off the From Software fans.
Last time I criticised their crappy multiplayer system I got piled on for not having the brains to comprehend just how unique it was and how much better it was than any modern, functional system.
Yes please, gimme a new Ape Escape Sony.hmmm is a future Uncharted without Nathan Drake the same as Tomb Raider without Lara Croft? (not talking about expansions and spinoffs)

True, but Sony is not doing another 2008 PS3 situation. If PS5 is sold at a loss it will be quickly made back with a game or PS+ subscription and it will not stay that way for a majority of the gen. This ain't old Sony trying to trojan horse PS5 into everyone's living room hoping to capitalize on something else. PS4 profits will help it out, but PS5 needs to be a money making hardware suite and fast.
1.Spiderman
2.GoW
3. Uncharted 4
4. Horizon
5. TLoU
6. Gran Turismo
7. Days Gone
Am i correct?
I repost this here and I just add the 10th to have a top 10
Even if now, ranking are dollar based, given the rest of the Sony's chart in US, Days Gone is up here among the best seller

UC5 - opening cinematic
Opens with Nate, Elena, Cassie (now 20), Sam, Chloe & Nadine, & Cutter at Sully's funeral/cremation/whatever + some other guests.
Comments made by officiating person (maybe religious person, maybe not) about how despite his adventuring past, Sully died peacefully at home etc
Among the other guests there is a mysterious young man, of a similar age to Cassie.
After the casket is lowered and the party breaks up, the young man approaches Nate and introduces himself as Sully's great-nephew.
'I need to speak to you, Mr Drake. About something my great-Uncle sent me 2 weeks before he died.'
Hands Nate a letter, already opened.
Nate scans the letter, and his expression turns from sad to grim. A dull glint of platinum shines out of the letter, and Nate turns to Elena & co and says
"Sully's death might not have been as peaceful as we thought.'
Questions buzz from the crew, and Nate answers with a single word:
'Marlowe'

It's always nice to see a game you love do so well commercially. To do this after only 9 days is amazing. I'm so happy for Bend and I'm excited to see what they do with an even bigger budget, more devs and much better hardware.
Do they actually want that? Bend, Oregon is a pretty remote place for a top of the line mocap studio. It's remote from both talent pools and the opportunity to be used by other studios. Then again, even though Bend real estate is a bit inflated, it's probably pennies on the dollar compared to SF/LA so having it idle isn't such a huge burden.
Days Gone? My guess for the US launch sales (in 9 days): something between 850k and 865k units. Right now? Given the sales data of the other countries, something between 2.5M and 3.5M units for the 1st month sales WW (maybe a bit less than Horizon 1st month sales).
EDIT: Just found out that Horizon sold 2.6M units after 2 weeks, 3.4M after 2 months. So I wouldn't be surprised if Days Gone reached similar numbers.

Yeah Days Gone. I wonder if it will have the so called "legs" like Horizon did.
I think it would be fair with them. Especially for being a studio far apart from all others. Sucker Punch has a similar situation and has its own mocap studio.
The legs of Horizon was fueled mostly by the critical acclaimed it received and the discount it got 4 months after its release.
While not being a regular user of it, it serves me punctually and it's good to see it mentioned for the futur. Remote Play and Share Play transform your console into a tiny data center or a gaming NAS, for local and distant streaming,
It works well in both case, but it's also highly dependent of your home network setup and environment or eventually of your broadband provider. That's why you can read so contrasted opinion about streaming in general, not necessarily only the Playstation one.

Yeah. But I suppose you could say that many players may wait on a price cut or sales before jumping on Days Gone because of the negative reception it got from reviewers, but quite positive from the "actual players". Hopefully it does well ultimately.
For it to reach the 7th position among Sony's other big hitters is quite impressive in its own given its average critical reception. Let's wait and see for now. Its great word of mouth will surely help it in the long run.
Huge sales for Days Gone. I knew it :D Congrats Bend Studio. Well deserved success. Can't wait to see Days Gone 2 on the PS5.
And MLB The Show keeps being on of Sony's best franchises. Best sports franchise out there.
So Days Gone over 833k (retail only) in just 9 days? 7th highest launch in history for a Sony-published title in the US? After just 9 days in the market? Amazing!
In a interview, they said that if Days Gone do well, they will have their own mocap studio (instead of using Santa Monica's one which is located more than 850 miles / 1350 km)
Ranking is dollar based now, so we can't say exactly the number, but if it's the #7 launch in Sony's history, we could say 800k+ (incl. digital) for the 9 days tracked
Yeah, I know :) I compared it with other 1st party Sony sales and it looks like it's an estimated ~850k. Way more than I expected :D
So we worried for bend still or we moving on to sucker punch? Or do we move back to media Molecule? Y'all decide
Looks like "they" went to Sucker Punch/Ghost of Tsushima now ;) We already know that Days Gone sold great worldwide. Like REALLY great.
