Playstation Concord: Official Revealed | State of Play
Maybe, and I'd appreciate it being the case. But well, in the announcement they only mentioned PvP. Commercial games almost always are made of parts proven somewhere else, specially the ones that need to justify budgets of hundreds of millions of dollars. Most important decisions are taken or... -
Discussion Helldivers player engagement collapsing
As we know, after seen the unexpected huge success of the launch weeks they reworked their plans for post launch support meaning that yes, Sony did put more money to fund it. But that requires time: design and production to rework the roadmap, later HR to hire the extra people they'll need and... -
Playstation New Astro Bot Will Feature Over 150 Bots Inspired by PlayStation Characters ; No In-Game Purchases or Multiplayer
One of my favorite things of Astro's Playroom are these fun and cute cameos to other PS games. Love to see that there are going to be a ton of them. And apparently, some of them will take part in the story and give you weapons or skills. I assume some of them may be even playable or host some... -
Discussion Will the PS5 outsell PS4?
They sold 59.3M and plan to sell 18M more (total 77.3M) until March 2025. Let's say they achieve this, and also manage to sell 18M more until March 2026. That would be 95.3M in March 2026 (not December 2025), but I think isn't likely because once a console passed its yearly sales peak year each... -
Discussion Sony announcing and releasing games within 12 months
Bonus info regarding this topic: in the TLOU2 Grounded documentary ND talks about it, and is shown how they had to crunch to make the gameplay portion of a trailer -when the game was still in early stages- while also working on the final push of a milestone delivery (I think it was a TLOU2... -
Discussion Embracer Boss Mulls Increasing the Price of Video Games Beyond $70
I understand what he means, but unless it's via DLC or for special editions people won't pay over $70 for a game unless it's one of the key supersellers. In fact, a lot of people don't buy the games at $70 and wait for discounts or price cuts. They should do something to address costs, either... -
Discussion Sony announcing and releasing games within 12 months
I think it's positive for devs because puts on them less pressure regarding release dates and possible delays, and also reduces the amount of work they have to put on making vertical slices/gameplay demos that will be shown in trailers or events. Meaning, they focus their resources on doing the... -
Discussion Helldivers player engagement collapsing
Yes, content like a third faction, new cool stratagems, new mission and vehicle types, a good rebalance buffing many weapons to make them more fun, weapon customization, adding extra/more generous rewards, double XP weekends... there's a lot of content they can add that could bring back many... -
Discussion Will the PS5 outsell PS4?
Yes, it will outsell it because launch aligned despite the shortages and having had to increase its price instead of the price cut PS4 had at this point is selling almost the same. With the difference that looking ahead PS5 has a way bigger PS4 active userbase who will make the jump later, and... -
Discussion Hardware Unboxed opinion on Sony's PC strategy: "I'm surprised that's a strategy or that anyone would think that would work"
Both the characters and objects in the environments are more detailed in their models, textures, animations and shaders (basically how light reacts to them), plus also their lighting and shadows. That requires more way work. There are also way more types of characters/enemies/objects in these... -
Discussion Hardware Unboxed opinion on Sony's PC strategy: "I'm surprised that's a strategy or that anyone would think that would work"
It isn't a Sony thing, it applies to all AAA publishers. AAA games cost more every generation because every generation the games have more complex aand detailed visuals, with bigger and more dense worlds, with longer stories with more cutscenes and with more features and secondary stuff. Now... -
Discussion Hardware Unboxed opinion on Sony's PC strategy: "I'm surprised that's a strategy or that anyone would think that would work"
Nah, Sony will keep proving wrong to the doomers. By the PS6 release they'll have a bigger market share in the console market than now, and will also dominate the PC market being one of top publishers in PC if not the top one. Sony's strategy is similar but way more successful. Has a ton of... -

Playstation Midori: More PlayStation Studios Titles are being revealed at Summer Game Fest
Sony has many thing to show and they always thrown some bone to the Doritos pope, so I think it's likely that they'd show something there. Convallaria and Lost Soul Aside are suppposed to be 2024 titles, so it was rare to don't see them in the State of Play. I assume they may be shown there... -

News Sony Reportedly Investing Over $250 Million in Bend Studio’s Next Game
I think he's saying $250M as a guess because this is more or less what a AAA cost today, >$250-300M. Remember that the budget of HFW and TLOU2 were 212M and 220M and since every generation get more expensive should be above this (and if it's MP GaaS even more). And well, the budget normally is... -
News Sony Reportedly Investing Over $250 Million in Bend Studio’s Next Game
He and Garvin explained it before in interviews, they said that never pitched DG2 to PS Studios/SIE, so since nobody got a DG2 pitch outisde Bend nobody could reject it outside it. He means the studio manager/corporate suits inside Bend, were against making DG2 and blocked the pitch to be sent...
