About to jump into this tonight, any advice?Played and completed Days Gone for the first time. I found it to be phenomenal, especial the story. Had several bugs but didn't bother me too much.
Thats a good thing IMO :PThe one thing I didn't like about days gone is the creepy music starts anytime freakers are nearby, so there are basically no opportunities for jump scares.
Which really says something about Knockout City. Who asked for that game?These numbers really show that the "buying public" doesn't have taste.
Those Deathloop numbers makes me sad. I don't know the budget but I hope they make it back smh
I'm telling myself this is because it has an IGN version at 60k and another on Bethesda's channel also 60k. But damn it's the best trailer of the show and deserves better.It would've gotten a lot of attention at PS5 launch probably. Now it's launching on May with a lot of competition. It's going to be tough. Even though I was looking forward to it, I'm probably not going to buy it at launch now since so many games coming around then. Damn covid.
From which first party studio do you expect the next announcement from.
We already have:
Insomniac Games
GG
SSM
Polyphony Digital
And i am going to count ND with factions also or else i guess most would say this.
All studios except Polyphony Digital are rumored to be working on a second game but i dont believe they are ready for a announcement.
I expect the next announcement to come from Sony Bend at the next showcase in July/August.
Second choice is the new project at San Diego studios.
I don't know for sure but I don't think there are thresholds for stuff like that. It's just a matter of how developers want to implement the trophies. So if they put a very hard trophy as a bronze, it's just their own decision. If I understand it correctly, you just gotta have enough trophies to include a platinum in your game and gold is worth of more points than silver and bronze, so you don't need to create so many trophies overall if you have a lot of gold and silver ones. But I could be wrong about this.Is there some threshold your trophy has to be for in order for it to be a silver or gold instead of a bronze? Because it's interesting that sometimes the most time consuming and hardest trophies net you only a bronze or silver instead of a gold. Like the Mein Leben trophy in Wolfenstein 2 requires you to beat the game on the hardest difficulty with permadeath on, and all you get is a bronze for it. You get a silver just for beating the game on any difficulty
Well, from my perspective: Returnal launches last day of April, RE Village week after that, then Mass Effect trilogy a week after, then Deathloop a bit later. May is pretty packed and is followed by R&C & FFVII PS5 in the beginning of June.I'm telling myself this is because it has an IGN version at 60k and another on Bethesda's channel also 60k. But damn it's the best trailer of the show and deserves better.
But what competition does it have in that window? It's the next "PS5" game after Returnal, and I don't see that doing that well, and Rift Apart is two months later. Hopefully people don't sleep on it.
Until anything official or in hard facts says otherwise, I'm taking Horizon as this year.Please don't make fun of me, it's been a long week for me, but how about that one question in that Jim Ryan GQ interview. He really said HORIZON FORBIDDEN WEST was on track. We really getting another horizon THIS YEAR? With ratchet!? Feed me Seymour!
Shit I totally forgot about RE Village, yeah that'll definitely dominate May I guess. Mass Effect could go either way tbh, wouldn't shock me if the remaster was terrible.Well, from my perspective: Returnal launches last day of April, RE Village week after that, then Mass Effect trilogy a week after, then Deathloop a bit later.

I'm sad about what happened at Japan Studio but what these peoples were doing for all these years ? There was like six game directors and creative director at the studio except Team ASOBI who had steady output on this generation, the rest only released one or zero games.It seems that Teruhiro Shimogawa became freelancer in mid 2020, shortly after Doucet took the role as head of Japan Studio.
He is director of Soul Sacrifice and was creative director at Japan Studio.
So many producers and directors at Japan Studio and not a single good project?
Probably, Toyama's game was canned for instance. His new action IP he started immediately after GR2.I'm sad about what happened at Japan Studio but what these peoples were doing for all these years ?

I suppose there was a lot of canceled games.

Either cancelled or projects didn't even start in the first place.
Yea, and as someone that held out on Crash 4, that's a March game for me. If HZD does make this year, it's a really good lineup. Add Kena in there.Don't know if it's been posted but just saw new(?) commercial during basketball game.
Release dates given:
Returnal: April 30th
Deathloop: May 21st
RnC: June 11th
Horizon: Anticipated second half of 2021
Ghostwire: Sometime in 2021
Before that Knack 2013 and Gravity Rush 2012Yes but it seems things have been like this for a while now.
Without counting Team Asobi the last games developed by Japan Studio teams were Knack 2 and Gravity Rush 2 back in 2017. Everything else since then were collaborations.
Kind of telling how things got to this point. Rotating between Knack and Gravity Rush was never going to cut it, regardless of the cult fanbases for them.

If what Takashi is saying is true then this most likely started when Yueda left a decade ago.Kind of telling how things got to this point. Rotating between Knack and Gravity Rush was never going to cut it, regardless of the cult fanbases for them.
And that game was in development for a decadeLast Guardian in 2016, development was handled by Japan Studio.
Gravity Rush took a long time probably because it was shifted from Vita to PS4 and the scope changed.
Anyone know if this commercial is up on youtube?Don't know if it's been posted but just saw new(?) commercial during basketball game.

Does anyone know how plot heavy Returnal will actually be? I've never been a huge fan of roguelikes but if the story is decent then I might give it a go.
So silent hill is cancelled most likely. That would be a real shameI don't think so.
I think they're all currently pretty busy.
And none of them are really keen to make a horror game.
I remember Navtra said there wont be an xbox versionWe don't know. Until Sony's timed exclusivity period ends on April 10th, S-E can't discuss other versions. It's entirely possible that on April 10th, PC and/or Xbox versions will be announced.
Same, I think it's going to end up being some mindblowing thing by the end. That combined with the settings and atmosphere makes it right up my alley.Going by the trailers the plot seems very important, I know I'm very curious to know what's going on there.
You do know that GTA 5 still sells more than most new games, right? It is in all the top 10 lists consistently. So yes it will sell bonkers.I wonder if people will actually bother buying the single player GTAV (assuming it's a paid release which it almost definitely is)
Most people who care about it have played it a lot already. The PS4 version is playable on PS5 and the multiplayer is free for PS+ so I'm just not sure the upgrade will be that big a deal.
I doubt it. Why not get free xgp money?
