Congrats Arrowhead. They are now up there with Santa Monica and Naughty Dogs. When is the movie coming out, CEO Hermen?

I dunno, they should probably consider porting it to xbox, they could have had at least 12.02M sales

The power of $40 games in action!

Fastest selling Sony game ever, seems that the Steam review bombing boycott has been "super effective":

Congrats Sony and Arrowhead, well deserved for making this GOTY!

Can't wait for the movie Staring Tom Holland

Tom Holland as the new recruit.

I knew this would happen

 

[Etifilio]

hopefully they don't see this as "let's release everything day and date on PC", because it won't have the same effect on singleplayer games sales

Helldivers 2 can out of my radar I only picked it up day 1 cause it was $40 if it was $70 I would’ve skipped it also it was much easier to get friends to cough $40 then $70 + the online 4 player coop component

PC day 1 across the board is part of that PlayStation “new vision” they just stated when announcing new ceos

GaaS has already been said to be Day and Date for a long time now.
As for any change in strategy at SIE, we'll know at in the business meeting/strategy thingy later this month.

 

[TheLastOfSnatcher]

Sony will keep their GaaS initiative with multiple projects. However, they will learn that not all games will catch fire like HD2 and most will resemble Foamstars.

 

[Vertigo]

What did most here estimate? 20 million? Great multiplier nonsense. Steamspy estimates etc are complete garbage.

And only on Icon Era could Square’s mess mean PlayStation is dying when an actual PlayStation game once again breaks company records.





Surprised to see Concord confirmed for 2024

 

[Kokoloko]

This is just gonna make Hermen release all games day one and ignore that the price was 70...

 

[Petekilla]

If you want to know why Sony course corrected with the PSN drama. This is why. Lol

 

[Nhomnhom]

PlayStation published game selling better on PC than on PlayStation, PC is really dead.

This is just gonna make Hermen release all games day one and ignore that the price was 70...

He was going to do that anyway, his read is that PC does not compete with PlayStation. If anything now it looks like Jim Ryan was the more conservative guy holding Hulst back.

 

[Entropi]

Sony found its multiplayer live service hit. Xbox mocked them when saying they had “10 years to create their own CoD”. It took about 1 year from then.

Xbox is cursed and that brings me joy.

 

[Vertigo]

Interestingly enough I think yesterday was the first time the game fell below 100k concurrent.

What is it just about 3 months? Excellent launch window performance.

 

[CHILEANPLAYER]

Beyond the "controversy" of associating the PSN account with Steam, Sony should acquire Arrowhead as soon as possible. Sometimes I am surprised by the passivity in these types of decisions on the part of Sony, especially considering that its gaming branch is the most profitable for the company. I want to think that perhaps they have already acquired them, but they are going to wait a while to make it official, especially due to the closure of London Studio in February.

The funny thing is it would still be over 100k, maybe over 150k if the balance team wasnt constantly fucking things up

I invite anybody to join the Helldivers discord to have a laugh if Sony really acquires Arrowhead
