Probably will get a Launch/Story trailer soon. Game is out in 2 weeks.
Yes please. I loved it as well as someone who only played the demo as a kid. No big nostalgic values or anything. Just a real fun game!
Yes!
I actually never played the original or its demo so I went in completely blind. The level design and the games humor is top notch.
I don´t honestly, like I said in my previous post I try to avoid this discussions because I think there is hyperbole in both sides when discuting marketing campaigns.
But as someone who usually follow news, Playstation on Instagram, forum, etc etc I think the lack of any push on Dreams is really odd.
I already got my EA since day one so they don´t know to to convince me but like I said the lack of any mention, any about the Impy awards on their Instagram account really caught my eye.
Of course it´s part of marketing.
But the way they handled it is abysmal.
Like I said in the post above they are not using the EA on their own favor.
Is it really hard or expensive to make a post on Instagram about an award that was made to promote other people creations ?
It feels like at this moment Dreams news are targeted only to Dreams creators and that´s that.
The first UC game did not light the charts of fire and it got another one .
It's not like these games have to do really good for them to get another one .
Plus sometimes the devs them self don't want to do another one like Ueda for eg .
People like to blame marketing for things that fail but sometimes it more than that .
And sometimes it is the marketing. Plenty of examples of that around.
And we don't know if Ueda doesn't want to work with Sony. We don't know anything about Ueda's situation. Maybe Shu will reach out to him now that he's got his own position and Sony needs exclusive titles for PS5.
Dreams is a game that relies on community, and is objectively better if the community is bigger and more diverse. You can only make sure something reaches more people through marketing.
Dreams will bomb so hard day 1, but it can recover if they can continue to support it after that with more content and WOM is obviously going to help it a lot. For me personally the amount of marketing itself wasn't the problem, but what they marketed was. Showing the game as just this creation engine instead of focusing on a cool campaign that is lengthy (say 8 hours) killed any interest.
LBP was also a creation engine, but Sony showed the campaign and had a focused marketing strategy of showing it as a platformer with a mascot even when you can make more than that. Dreams is obviously bigger, but a more focused marketing could have helped people understand what the game is, and then be blown away but how bigger it could be.

That's because it's a creation tool, the campaign is 3 hours long the last time we heard about it.
I have a feeling most people who went in blind thought it was trash sadly...everything has to be just peeerfect for some reason. I can definatly se the flaws of Medievil, but i can se past them easily to find a fun game.
lol oh, it shall.
Both in here and in the FFVIIR thread when no demo drops on the Anniversary.
Yes but that was months ago, MM has recently said in streams that it has expanded and became more fleshed out.
The Last of Us was the best selling new IP with just a single game over the past decade in the UK: https://www.gamesindustry.biz/artic...aft-was-the-best-selling-new-ip-of-the-decade
Minecraft, Destiny, Zumba Fitness, Watch Dogs and Kinect Sports all sold more but had multiple installments.

Hopefully Sony will release numbers again! I'm hoping that they'll somehow be able to get that 4mil opening weekend (God of War did 3.1, Spider-Man did 3.3 for comparison).
Dreams is not going to rally in the sales charts, lets be honest, the time for Mm/Sony to turn up the marketing campaign is over. PC, an incredibly dedicated fan base, and dedication from Sony and Mm to keep up the support, are the things that could help the game stay afloat. Mm will be fine.
Firewall Zero Hour is great. Play it if you have a PSVR headset.
The Last Of Us will be the first Sony game to reach 20M copies sold for sure at this point, right?
Druckmann said in Sept 2019 that "it was actually a lot higher than that [17M] but we don't communicate about these numbers yet"
But the game being PS+ might decelerate its sales I guess
Btw, a great month of PS Plus, what do you guys think about the games ?
Hope PS Now will deliver and not with just 3 titles !
The Last of Us (PS3+PS4) already surpassed 20 million units
Curious what Manchester Studio is working on. We know it's a AAA PSVR game, but still no additional info
I hope it's a huge game for PSVR2. And I hope Sony won't wait too long until they release PSVR2. I would be ready to buy one 2021.
Really good month for me after a couple of duds. I only played the first Bioshock way back when and even though I liked it for some reason I never went back to the series, and every so often I've thought about getting the Sims 4 but never pulled the trigger on it.
Another PS5 trademark, filed January 28, this time in New Zealand:
Previous one, filed January 27, was in Switzerland:

Interesting that they filed them all over the place around the same time. Is there like anything to read into this? Reasoning for waiting until just now when they mentioned PlayStation 5 last year, and showed the logo a a few weeks ago? I like grasping at straws!
People complaining about dreams marketing gonna post in the OT once and bounce like Concrete Genie.
Y'all so passive aggressive
anyway
elca vids be getting hella views so that's always good Primethius

An Super Bowl ad showing some parts of the console and the date of the event at the end would be awesome
Wow 2.5 million views, that is awesome
That is exactly what is going to sell Dreams!
How many countries are left? The number will give us the remaining days untill the PS5 event.
Microsoft consistently has a super bowl ad, so there's a chance we'll see a console there this year, but not the one we are hoping.
Good for US rest of the world doesn't give a shit. Bad way to do IMO.
