Where was the hype for Rollerdrome? I don't remember PS fans including it on every warrior list, changing their avatars, calling it GOTY and posting trophy stats.
It was just a random drop. We get many.
In their debut week, Hi-Fi Rush reportedly outperformed Forspoken on Steam
- Thread starter John Elden Ring
- Start date

I don't know why we're complaining about completion achievements on games that literally just came out. Some people have lives outside of video games.
A fascist conspiracy? Lmao what are you on about?
This makes no sense when 11 months ago Elden Ring had nearly a million concurrent players.

That is actual daily.
For example all time Concurrent Players for PUBG is 3,257,248... Counter Strike is 1,308,963.
Elden Ring peaked at 953,426 (never crossed 1 million).
Actual daily is 81k so it is not in the TOP10.
You can see it here: https://store.steampowered.com/charts/mostplayed
Hi-Fi is not in the TOP100 that means less than 8.5k.

Hence why I said nearly.
It counters the argument that single player games don't sell or aren't played on the platform. Bad single player games don't sell.
Who said anything about it being bad? Don’t project your feelings on me
It will be forgotten regardless
So you only wanted to point out that indie games don't remain in the news for very long. Do you have a podcast?
What part of your obvious statement of fact was provocative I'm unclear
I said people would be talking about Elden Ring months after release.....and guess what?
I will be launching a website soon people need exposure to these provocative ideas

People will deffo be speaking about Starfield years after release - that's how long it'll be until the game's actually fixed 
I honestly think that the forspoken has burried itself with the revie scores not helping it (neither did the word of mouth).A $30 AA game outselling a $70 AAA game in terms of revenue
Hi-fi Rush is just something else, I doubt that there was someone who hesitated to buy forspoken this week and when they saw hi-fi rush being released they said "oh, I'll get this one instead".
It's like saying that GoW:R prevented the sales of (insert x game released in the same week).
According to Steamdb these are the current numbers of Forspoken vs Hi-Fi Rush:
- All time concurrent users peak: 12579 vs 6132
- Amount of reviews: 3382 vs 3924
- Owner estimations by reviews: 77.6k-213.5k vs 78.5k-215.8k
- Owner estimations by PlayTracker: 73.9k vs 44.7k
- Owner estimations by VG Insights: 103.4k vs 75.2k
- Owner estimations by SteamSpy: 124k vs 59k
Even High on Life had a peak of 11.6k.
Ghostwire Tokyo, their last game that was also considered a big flop, had a peak of 14k.
Phil Spencer, in his quest to get "more people" to play their games actually killed any chance for Tango to find new fans on Switch/Playstation.
Hi-Fi Rush was made for haptics and the Nintendo crowd. Sad.
I fear for Tango's future.
Game is mostly forgotten already. It’ll never reach Stray’s status
Correct. Forspokgotten's current active player count is already significantly lower than HF Rush.
Stray had a peak of 63K, bigger than AAAs. Legendary game in the indie scene and Day 1 on PS+.
Hi-Fi is struggling, even below stuff like Scorn (8k peak) or Plague Tale Requiem (only 5k)
Flop.
I wouldn't call Hifi rush a flop, but a 100-200k seller is not a system seller like all the warriors are pretending it to be. It's just another good indie game, of which there are dozens every year. The only difference is that xbox is so starved of content that they need to big up this as if it's the second coming. It shows that there's actually no hype behind starfield or redfall because if there were they'd be talking about those games instead.
