    Nintendo Nintendo Direct Announced for June 18th

    A lot of good-looking games in the Direct. Mario & Luigi, Zelda Echo, Fatasian (is this a remake of the iOS game or a sequel? The visual style looks different from that one), Dragon Quest 1/2/3 Remakes, Romancing SaGa 2 Remake, that NISJ JRGP/strategy/defense tower game, the Capcom Marvel...

    Playstation [Gameindustry.biz] Astro Bot It is really built for PlayStation - Nicolas Doucet

    The fact we're even able to legitimately entertain the possibility of an Astro Bot or other (new and/or major) SIE games on a Switch 2, should in itself show the mistake in muddied optics SIE themselves have created. The cat's out of the bag and I don't think they can put it back in. Nor do...

    Playstation [Gameindustry.biz] Astro Bot It is really built for PlayStation - Nicolas Doucet

    He may say that now, but who knows what Totoki, Herman & Hideaki will say about that. Which is symbolic of the bigger problem: certain creatives may want one thing, but their superiors might just force them to bring something like Astro Bot (per this example) to other platforms anyway. It's...

    Nintendo Nintendo Direct Announced for June 18th

    Might be the second show this summer (after the Xbox Showcase) actually worth anybody's time. Probably won't be able to catch it live but I'll try. If not, there'll be the uploads afterwards.

    Leak Gravity Rush Kat's Astro Bot leaked by press on summer game fest

    This is modern SIE we're talking here. You'll be lucky there's that Gravity Rush 2 remaster for PS5 (and PC), if that even exists.

    Leak Wolverine leaked again (new footage)

    What setbacks did Wolverine suffer due to the ransomware leak? Game development wasn't impeded due to that; it was just a bad look for Insomniac. Unfortunate, but it happened and the incomplete build is out there (on PC). They didn't suddenly stop development on the game because of that...

    Leak Wolverine leaked again (new footage)

    You can never take anything as a certainty. They don't "need" to make a demo to boost sales; they "should" make a demo as a thank-you favor of appreciation to their console community. That they might get a few extra sales along the way is just a bonus. Besides, for 'delaying the game', the...

    Leak Wolverine leaked again (new footage)

    Of course they did, because it usually meant more work. But here's the thing: this is an industry and gamers are the customers. Sometimes you have to put in extra on a job, extra you otherwise might not have wanted to do. But sometimes it's worth it, and I think demos are a case where it can...

    Leak Wolverine leaked again (new footage)

    Hey, look, that's not my problem. And these are professional dev teams; they've done this stuff for decades I don't see why it'd suddenly be a problem now. They have a Showcase coming in the Fall (supposedly), right? Re-introduce Wolverine there. Then announce a demo for PS5 owners to come...

    Leak Wolverine leaked again (new footage)

    I wonder if SIE will remember console owners exist and have Insomniac put together a (polished) Wolverine demo for PS5 players this holiday season. Or is it just gonna be more ignoring the screwy optics at hand here, usual suspects chiming in to say Sony don't need to do anything because of...

    Discussion Lego Horizon Adventures is on Switch because Playstation Studio’s Guerrilla Games wanted the game to reach more people

    @Yurinka... Okay so Sony (maybe; dunno where you're getting they lost money on hardware when they're at best maybe just less profitable than they were before component costs went up) lost money on hardware they sold...so what? That's the strategy they've gone with, they know what it entails...

    Discussion Lego Horizon Adventures is on Switch because Playstation Studio’s Guerrilla Games wanted the game to reach more people

    Marginally more profit, and only for a brief period of time. Even with the numbers you posted, Nintendo's got a $600 million net profit lead on a 7+ year-old system very much past its prime and in need of a successor. SIE's behind that with a PS4 that's still in (very limited) numbers of...

    Discussion Chinese media: 'Black Myth: Wukong' refused to be extorted $7 million by SweetBaby.

    Brother, IGN have BEEN compromised way before SBI with their shitty game reviews and pro-Xbox biases for years. I didn't have to wait until SBI to notice IGN were suspect; even them buying up most of the other big games media outlets (a way bigger issue than this stuff IMHO) should've made that...

    Discussion Chinese media: 'Black Myth: Wukong' refused to be extorted $7 million by SweetBaby.

    Twitter's full of retards who will hop and grift onto anything if it helps in their culture war against LGBTQIADEI whatever-else. Even if the instance doesn't make logical sense (such as in this case). You're using the wrong people as a barometer.

    Discussion Lego Horizon Adventures is on Switch because Playstation Studio’s Guerrilla Games wanted the game to reach more people

    Rift Apart did 4 million on a system that was starved for install base growth most of the time the game was available before the PC port, due to chip shortages. It also didn't have a PS4 version. That ~ 4 million number prior to going to Steam is very impressive in context, and it didn't need...

    News Insomniac about Marvel's Wolverine: "We'll share news when the time is right, and the right time isn't now."

    What a shitshow it's been for this game insofar as the leak from the hack, and how PC pirates will have been playing the game for upwards 2 years before SIE even bother showing more about it to PS5 customers. You'd think at the very least, SIE could get Insomniac to build out a proper demo for...

    Discussion Lego Horizon Adventures is on Switch because Playstation Studio’s Guerrilla Games wanted the game to reach more people

    TBF, Astro's Playroom, Rift Apart, and the new Astro Bot already prove there is demand for kids games on PlayStation. Same with stuff like the Sonic games, Hogwarts Legacy etc. Yes games like Rift Apart & Hogwarts weren't just aimed at kids (LEGO Horizon isn't either); it's better to call...

    News Phil Spencer hypocritically calls PlayStation “slimy” for paying publishers for exclusive content

    Well, PS5 will have an extra year of full production compared to PS4, which is the main reason I say it will at least match PS4's numbers. Something absolutely catastrophic would have to happen for it to sell less while having a full extra year as the main focus. As for the possible delay...
