News Most gamers prefer single player games - via Midia Research
As a fan of single player games, I have to say that this graph is totally unrelated to the reality of the market, where we see that a big majority of the revenue and userbase is on MP and not in SP. There are no GaaS generations. But if they would, the first one would be in the last millenium... -
News Bungie's Marathon video update with new info released
I updated the OP. Sounds that they reworked a lot of things, and that next year we may get to play some alpha or beta, not sure if open or closed (maybe both). 2025 doesn't seem to sound as set in stone for the final game release, I'd say 2026 sounds more likely now. Yes, when Sony acquired... -
Analysis Does no one find it concerning that PS5 sales are struggling to keep up with the nearly 8 year old Nintendo Switch?
Yes, as shown in the graphs PS5 is almost at the same level of PS4 launch aligned. Plus there are the different points (not just GTA) I mentioned that pretty likely will help PS5 to have a stronger second half of its lifetime than PS4. Meaning, pretty likely PS5 will outsell PS4. I assume they... -
News Bungie's Marathon video update with new info released
Let's hope it isn't just this and Sony makes a 30th anniversary State of Play including more stuff from other 1st party games. Seems a reference to the caterpillars from the announcement trailer: -
News Bungie's Marathon video update with new info released
They just posted this tweet: And their previous one was this one from May from last year (a year and a half ago), saying they were going to be quiet until having gameplay to show: So it would mean that we'll get a gameplay video pretty soon. Edit: They made a video updating about the state... -
Analysis Does no one find it concerning that PS5 sales are struggling to keep up with the nearly 8 year old Nintendo Switch?
I think lifetime PS5 pretty likely won't outsell Switch due to mainly these reasons: PS5 couldn't benefit of the covid bump as Switch did, it had supply constrain during that key period instead Inflation + covid caused components + shipments costs increase that damaged its hardware... -
Analysis Does no one find it concerning that PS5 sales are struggling to keep up with the nearly 8 year old Nintendo Switch?
They aren't a lie, it's something that happened and we all saw all retailers showing that it was sold out and that once they received new units they got sold in a few hours. There's no mismanagement at Sony. This generation they are getting record revenue, profit or active userbase, and their... -
Analysis Does no one find it concerning that PS5 sales are struggling to keep up with the nearly 8 year old Nintendo Switch?
I'm not incorrect: these graphs are the objective, factual data of how sales are going and how consoles sales cycle behaves. They don't obfuscate anything, they explain the truth. You can like it or not, but this is what the consoles sold and what Sony and Nintendo estimate to sell in the... -
Analysis Does no one find it concerning that PS5 sales are struggling to keep up with the nearly 8 year old Nintendo Switch?
As you can see here, all consoles have a yearly sales curve, so after their peak year (PS5 had it last fiscal year, so in the current year and the next ones are expected to decrease YoY) their yearly sales decrease as normal in their sales life cycle: Meaning, PS5 sales aren't 'cratering'... -
News Housemarque's next AAA game will be built on Unreal Engine 5 - via @Zuby_Tech
Their previous game did use Unreal Engine and in they job offers publicly posted on their website they ask for expertise on Unreal Engine. So obviously yes, their next game will use Unreal Engine. No need to be an insider to see it. -
Discussion Slitterhead Gameplay debunks Japan Studio rants
Internally developed: Ape Escape main series, Ico, Shadow of the Collosus, TLG, Gravity Rush. Some Ape Escape spionffs like Ape Escape Academy 2, Ape Escape Racing were 2nd party games developed by external studios like Shift or Epics and published by Japan Studio. Other 2nd party games... -
Discussion Slitterhead Gameplay debunks Japan Studio rants
They changed part of the management around 2019 (this is when Doucet became Studio Head) and then another part when resctructured it in 2021. I'd say the issue maybe was profitability during decades instead of not meeting deadlines: it's ok if from time to time some game tanks and doesn't end... -
News Starfield 2 will be “one hell of a game” claims designer as Bethesda learns from its mistakes
Are you sure MS will greenlight Starfield 2? I wouldn't bet on it. At least, not putting the resources they did put in the first one at all. They spent a lot of years with many thousands of people there and I'd say it sales weren't at that level. I think that if Starfield 2 ever exists will be... -
Discussion Shawn Layden: Japan Studio closure 'Wasn't Necessarily a Surprise'
Sure, Astro Bot and Team Asobi doesn't exist. And sure, XDEV Japan and their Death Stranding Director's Cut, Stellar Blade, Rise of the Ronin, Convalllaria, Lost Soul Aside, Death Stranding 2 or Physint don't exist, either. And sure, they don't continue doing the same work and in the same...- Yurinka

Playstation Helldivers 2 - Truth Enforcers Warbond
I just logged in to the game, and visiting the map I saw the Liberty Day popup but I didn't get the items. Do we need to do something in particular to get them? Maybe the hour were the 00:00 in the night from the 26th to 27th instead of from 25th to 26th? Edit: I just saw it, you have to make... -
Discussion Microsoft Gaming laid off over 2,500 workers this year, CEO gets a $79 million bonus
No, as a company they did it to make more money, and hoping to improve their operative in the long term by getting more big IPs, dev teams and publishing their stuff in more platforms. They don't care about their own fans or consoles, in the big picture their main goal is to grow/improve their...- Yurinka

News Satya Nadella confirms Project Latitude is not paused, more PS5 / Nintendo ports coming.
Looking at the graph you can see that PlayStation is not dying at all, instead this generation is performing better than ever. Seriously, you even go gaming flatearther saying that Sony has no new IPs? In the last few months they released Concord, Rise of the Ronin or Stellar Blade and have... -
News Satya Nadella confirms Project Latitude is not paused, more PS5 / Nintendo ports coming.
You have no idea what you're talking about, and as such it would be better for you to shut the fuck up or minimum to be respectful to the ones like me know about that topic and are trying to explain you the truth, which can be double checked in Sony's fiscal reports. I never said that revenue... -
News Satya Nadella confirms Project Latitude is not paused, more PS5 / Nintendo ports coming.
Sony isn't dying at all, the opposite: they are growing in most areas, some of which are at all time high levels. Their consoles have the largest active userbase ever, they make more revenue and profit than ever and their first party games break their own sales records with new games released... -
Discussion Microsoft Gaming laid off over 2,500 workers this year, CEO gets a $79 million bonus
The insider Geff Jrubb leaked this photo: Satya Nutella is so greedy that gave them around $100B to spend on acquisitions and allowed them to give away their first party games day one on a game sub even if the gaming division was like two decades without being profitable and having billions of...- Yurinka
