    Multiplatform UK Boxed Charts: Launch sales for Star Wars Outlaws are 55% lower than those of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor

    They don't have digital data until the end of the month, that's why the weekly charts for UK and Europe are always only physical. He should have them since it's the last week of the month, but I assume there was a bank holiday or something near the end of August and some partners are late...

    PC Borderlands CEO Randy Pitchford says his hopes on Epic Store were 'overly optimistic or misplaced'

    His tone was hilarious back in the day, but I did understand his enthusiasm to a certain level. Epic/Tim Sweeney were heavily courting developers, he's not the only one who saw the potential. In fact, even in this breakdown he's still thinking like that, like here: Customers are kingmakers...

    Discussion Woke videogame Dustborn has a quick time event to label people as racist

    Honestly some of these social options(cancelling, bullying, trigger etc...) would be great in some sort of High School JRPG type shit. Epic combat talk no jutsu instead of swinging umbrellas or whatever. It'd be dank memes. Kind of a more eleborate Persona weakness system when you talk to...

    News Ouka Games (Visions of Mana) is shutting down

    Nay Trials of Mana Launch Satuday's CCU peak - 11,551 Launch Sunday's CCU peak - 11,998 When you factor in that Steam's presence in Japan/China/Asia is much increased from 2020 to 2024, that's not great at all. Especially since this is a new title with seemingly more budget than the previous...

    Discussion Itsuno (Creator of Dragon's Dogma, Devil May Cry) has left Capcom

    Def my pick It's not like there isn't history backing this one hypothesis. How many long time directors at his age have left Capcom/Square-Enix and a bunch of other bigger Japanese studios to pursue other opportunities when it becomes obvious they couldn't do those dream projects they had in...

    Playstation Concord sold an estimated 25,000 units (10,000 on Steam, 15,000 on PS5)

    I think the number is probably around 8-10k~ on PC and more like 40-50k~ on PS5. Regardless, when you can't crack 100k units sold in a week, it's omega dire. For a project of that size, even 100k within the launch day is horrendous.

    Discussion Itsuno (Creator of Dragon's Dogma, Devil May Cry) has left Capcom

    Not a chance. The most likely explanation is that he probably didn't feel like he could to the sort of project(s) he's been probably wanting to do for quite some time. The man has been mostly working as a Director on two franchises in the last 19 years. Also... RIP his CVS3 dream 😭 The...

    Xbox S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 currently running at 25 FPS on Xbox Series S, GSC Game World still working on optimization.

    Not surprising, it's an UE5 game. It's an heavy engine, especially the more you use some of the graphical features on offer. I like the transparency from the Stalker team, and wish them good fortune on the launch. They've had a rough time(an understatement).

    Xbox Paul Tassi (Forbes): Black Myth Wukong not currently coming to Xbox due to an exclusivity deal (Update: IGN Corroborates, many others deny)

    I don't think we'll see much of Astrobot but I mean... Didn't we already have articles talking about the leaked specs saying something like: Who is this for? I imagine when the price will be revealed, we'll be comparing that shit to the glorious $599 days of the PS3. The PS5 Pro is going to be...

    Leak [Insider Gaming] – XDefiant is on Borrowed Time as Player Numbers Decline Rapidly

    Not surprised, it had an okay launch, but then it didn't have any staying in the Top 10 monthly most DL'd on PSN for F2P games. That is a pretty good metric to judge if a big GaaS game is generating enough interest and having good new user acquisition to convert into paying customers to sustain...

    Trials of Mana Remake reached 1 million copies sold on Feb 2021 in 10 months(release date of April 2020). Visions also looking to open at a lower number than Trials of Mana in Japan based on pre-orders, although we'll know the actual numbers next Thursday. At the same time, social metrics before...

    It can always be false, and they might comment on it, there's still plenty of time for a reply, we're only Thursday. At the same time, if it's true that there's a "Shadow Exclusive"(I've just seen this term on ERA and I fucking love it lmao) they can't really refute it. I mean they could, but...

    Xbox Paul Tassi (Forbes): Black Myth Wukong not currently coming to Xbox due to an exclusivity deal (Update: IGN Corroborates, many others deny)

    That's not how that really works though? It's like saying Jason Schreier is equal in terms of his sources and his journalist integrity compared to random Kotaku blogger #2133151351 back in the day. I don't really believe in anyone 100% unless they're family members or close friends. Me saying...

    Xbox Paul Tassi (Forbes): Black Myth Wukong not currently coming to Xbox due to an exclusivity deal (Update: IGN Corroborates, many others deny)

    Is Kat Bailey the same person as Ryan McCaffrey? Again, I'm not saying I believe these two stories in an ironclad way but I certainly believe a potential exclusive is more likely to have been worked on than I did this morning. Anyhow, we can just wait until more people chime in and see what...

    Xbox Paul Tassi (Forbes): Black Myth Wukong not currently coming to Xbox due to an exclusivity deal (Update: IGN Corroborates, many others deny)

    Yes, especially when it comes to IGN. They certainly don't want getting sued/publically called out/ unning the risk of losing privilieged access to SIE published games(previews/review copies, etc...) because of a story. Heck, even true articles sometime get blacklisted by publishers. You can be...

    Xbox Paul Tassi (Forbes): Black Myth Wukong not currently coming to Xbox due to an exclusivity deal (Update: IGN Corroborates, many others deny)

    While this may be true, Kat Bailey isn't a nobody. Like any random journalist at an outlet is whatever. But this person would know a thing or two about how sourcing and doing proper legwork, yes, even in gaming journalism. Good journalistic practices isn't rocket science. When it comes to...
